Harrisburg Has Game Bunch Of
Players, Says Providence
Writer

That International League baseball
is great asset to a city is shown
by the splendid complimentary to the
club and to the city written by a
Providence correspondent to p widely
circulated sporting paper. 1t reads:
Speaking of Harrisburg, must
take a minute to praise the gameness
of this bunch of athletes. They are
the wanderers of the league. having
been transferred from Newark to the
Pennsylvania Capitol, but q pluckler
or gamer team seldom Is seen. They
won two out of five games from the
champions and If their pitching staff
had not been badly shot it's a question
II the Indians would not have landed
on the long end.
Manager Eddie Zimmerman sum-
med up the situation very aptly when
he said; TT has been a tough year
for our club, but the boys have learned
this great lesson that ball players
can make the game profitable or bad,
according to- their own conduct. When
we fellows knew Newark would not 90
through and that we would have to
shift. we all agreed that the only caper
was not to lose our pen, but to stick
up there fighting so hard that any
town would be glad to have club
like ours settle down in it's ball yard.

know how 1t works in. some cases, but
with us bad luck has served the pur-
pose of bringing the boys together
for one common purpose-to play the
very best ball we can and to play 1t all
the time. And the perfectly splendid
support we have received in Harris
burg has made every man back of us
feel that we have been well repaid"

New Football Rules
Show Minor Changes

Football rule makers announce that
changes In rules this year will be few.
They will also be of minor importance.
Slugging, and other rough house tao
tics will be eliminated. Most of the
teams will number the players. The
forward pass when out of bounds will
include penalty. The rules in which
changes appear follow:
A forward pass is caught simultane-
ously by member OF the passer's side
and by all opponent. Ruled: Posses
sion of the ball belongs to side putting
the ball into play.
A member of side kicking ball is
touched by ball when offside. Ruled:
The ball is not automatically dead;
play may ensue and penalty may be
declined.
The ball is kicked off, goes less than
ten yards and is then kicked again
Ruled AS kicking a loose ball.
Rule 6. Section 1Sa, should be fol-
lowed strictly. That wherever the ball
whistle should be blown. that being
the point where the bali is dead.
Rule 16, Section 5-Two men signal
for a fair catch; one touches the ball
and the other gets 1t still on the fly,
No run allowed and ball is dead.
An offside play by opponents and
an incompleted forward pass. or hold
ing in the line by opponents. and an
incompleted forward pass. The firsV
offense takes precedence and the Sec
ond is disregarded.
Rule 8, Section 2.-Penalty for IL
legal return: Disqualify the player
give half toe distance to goal line and
notify Central Board.
Rule Is, Section S.-Position of the
feet determines, the same as always
either in the end zone or out OF
bounds.

Fred Snodgrass, the old Giant out
fielder, and that he will report to the

porary and that he would come
around all right and do good work for
the Braves.

Barney Dreyfuss Makes
Charge Against Feds

Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. 23.-Barney
Dreyfuss, president of the Pittsburgh
National League club, claims that he
has knowledge of an effort made by
the Federal League to take AL Ma
maux,. the pitcher, away from the
Pirates. Dreyfuss said that 1t was not
for the purpose of having him play
in any games this season, but the
rebels have offered him a large salary
If he will remain idle the remainder
of the year and sign up with the
Federals next year to play. Dreyfuss
said.
"Mamaux was spirited away from
the West Penn Hospital last Tuesday
at 1.45 o'clock and did not return
until 8 o'clock that night l have
learned none or this from Mamaux
himself. because | did not care to ap-
proach him on the matter at this time.
l am willing to believe him loyal un-
til I have proof that he is not.
Il also happen to know that Oakes
was in Pittsburgh on Friday in con-
ference with relative of the young
Pirate twirler. and I have also been
told that a certain man made the re-
mark that he could make bunch
of money If he could sign Mamaux
to a rebel contract
