HOME RUNS WILL BE
 CUT DOWN BY NEW RULE
Plan For Lensthening Field Will Make
 Circuit CIouts Few.

The rules committees of the two ma- jor leagues-John A. Hedler and Bar ney Dreyfus of the National league and Ban Johnson of sthe American league will get together to discuss all the suggestions which have been made for improving the game as soon as the National Commission finishes its meeting in Cincinnati next Tuesday.
 The meeting of the rule makers will probably be held at French Lick, Ind, as in former years
 One of the new rules which the Ma tional League representatives will sup init for approval provides for a deep CT outfeld. This affects rule No 1 which now reads the s'the shortest distance from a fence or stand on fair territory to the home base should be 235 feet" The new rule which will be presented provides that the nearest fence or stand shall be no less than 27O feet away. If the American league also approves of the change, it will mean that the number of home runs in both leagues next season will be far less than before.

PACKEY M'FARIAND TO
 STAGE FINAL COMEBACK.
Has Not Fought Since He and Gibbons
 Met at Brighton Beach.

Packey Mcfarland is ready to do just one more comeback. The boxing game is rustling so much easy money these days that Packey has decided to take a few weeks off to collect $15, ,000 or so for waltzing ten gentle rounds with some safe and sane sparring part ner.
 Packeys antagonist will be Ted Kid Lewis, one of the welterweight con- tenders, and the bout will be for the alleged welterweight championship. The boxers are waiting until boxing is legalized in the state of Illinois, when they will initiate, and probably kill, the sport on the first night.
 Mcfarland has not boxed since he and Mike Gibbons staged the famous $32, 500 fasco at Brighton Beach. Packey announced after that session that he was through with the game forever. But the unprecedented boom that has come into pugilisre since Les Darcy beat the recruiting sergeant in his long race has reused the business instincts in Packey. There is too much easy money about for Packey to stay out of it.
 Of course if the boxing bill should fail to pass in Illinois, Packey is will ing to take the long and arduous trip to New York to box in Madison Square Garden. Like Willard, Packey is dis porting something of a bay window, but modern boxing is not too great an eXertion even for fat men,

EMERALDS DEFEAT NEW BRITAIN
The Strong New Britain Five Loses in Five Minute Over Time Game-Fnal Score Al to Higgins Starred With Eleven Baskets.
lspecia1 to The Bunetin.o

Willimantic, Dec. 29.-Many people gathered in the old armory on Valley street Friday evening and witnessed one of the best and fastest games of basketball that has ever been seen in this city when the Emeralds of Wil1imantic defeated the strong New Britain team by the score of Al to 39. Five minutes overtime was needed to finish the game and in this five minutes the two teams scored four teen points, the EmeraldS, by the great work of Captain Higgins at right for ward, score the necessary majority of points to win the game. The first half of the contest was fast and closely fought throughout and the score at the end of this period was 19 to IS in favor of the New Britain team. The local boys during this part of the game did not seem to be able to find the baskets with the exception of Hig- gins who caged five in this period.
 At the opening of the second half it could be plainly seen that the Elmer aids were out to win the contest as they started off with their old time speed and skilled passing coupled with a better eye for the basket. Higgins again starred in this period with his fine eye for baskets. scoring six field baskets and one foul basket. Chappell did not seem to be able to find the basket at the start of either period but in the five minutes overtime play he scored the majority of points that enabled the Emeralds to come out on the big end of the score.
 Stepanian with seven baskets and Martin with five starred for the visi- tors although the rest of the team was not far behind these two men. The New Britain boys always put up a strong game on their previous visits to Wi1limantic, but the game of last evening proved to be one of the great est games ever seen in this. city. Both teams played clean. but yet very fast, basketball and it was only by superior team work with good eyes for the bas- kets that won for the local team
 The preliminary game between the Y. M. c. A. team of this city and the Baltic team resulted in a victory for the local team by the score of 1S' to g. The Baltic team was clearly out classed fro mthe start of the game to the finish and did not score a point until the last few minutes of play.

DIR. CELIA PAINE ADAMS TOOK HER OWN LIFE No Evidence That She Had Been Wronsed by Any Person.

Boston, Dec. 29.-Dr. Celia Paine Adams, the young osteopath who was found dying in her office in Brookline on July IS. a few hours before the fla tai shooting of her friend and former instructor, Dr. Wilfred B. Harris, com- mitted suicide by taking poison, ac- cording to the report of the inquest f1l- ed today by Judge Joseph N. Palmer of the Roxbury court. Dr. Adams was the fiancee of Dr.. Elbridge D. Atwood of Woburn. who is now awaiting trial on the charge of murder in connection with the killing of Dr. Harris.
 The report says that while the evil dence was produced at the inquiry which suggested some indefinable con- nection between Atwood and her death her death falls far short of indicating that any acts of Atwood or any other person contributed to it.''
 After his call at the hospital where his financee died Dr. Atwood is alleg- ed to have visited Dr. Harris at the latter's office and to have shot him without warning. Upon his arrest he is said to have asserted that he shot Dr. Harris because he had been in- formed that Dr. Harris had wronged pr. Adams.

TO CALL OPEN MEETING
 OF PEACE WORKERS
To Consider Programme For Interna-
 tional Reorganization.

Washington, Dec. 2s.-The directors of the American Peace Society decided today to call an open meeting of peace workers to be held here January
 20 for the purpose of considering a definite programme for international
 reorganization designed to secure a
 lasting peace as soon as the present
 war is over.
 A plan to be submitted has been drafted by James Brown Scott, chair
 man of the American Neutrality Board and secretary of the Carnegie
 Endowment for International Peace, and is understood to have the approval of Secretary Lansing. Some modi- fication of it is expected to be adopted by those in favor of permanent peace secured by international legislatures, courts and opinion as opposed to those
 who are supporting the suggestion of an international force.
 Between these two principles, it has been officially stated, the administra- | ton has not committed itself. Pres l ident Wilson has been commonly sup | posed to support the programme of the l League to Enforce Peace. Recently, | however, it has been stated that the 1 president is not definitely committed | to that programme and is open to suggestions along other lines.

 t1t was therefore with considerable astonishment that I learned definitely that certain boxing managers in this city have been employing all their spare time in writing letters to the French military authorities protesting against the granting of a furlough to Carpenter. While I do not think these letters will defeat the plan they have had the effect of delaying action by the French officials.

AMENDMENT TO DRAFT RULE
 WILL BE DENIED
President Johnson Says IA Class Teams Wanted it Changed Before But Won't Get it Changed Again.

Chicago, Dec. 29.-The plea of the
 three class A leagues-the Interna-
 tional, Pacific Coast and American
 Association-for the abolition of the
 draft rule probably will be denied
 when the National Baseball Commits
 sion. meets in Cincinnati next week,
 President Johnson of the American
 League said tonight. President John
 son, member of the commission, said
 the present draft rule was changed E by the commission at the suggestion
 of the same leagues which now ask
 that it be amended.
 "The class A. club owners opposed
 the old rule,'' MT. Johnson said, "be-
 cause that they complained that it caused dissenSion among the drafted players if they eventually were re- jected. The commission changed it to meet their own demands. I do not think there is a chance of it's being changed again.
 MT. Johnson said, however, that con- sideration would be given the plea re- garding the immediate reporting of purchased players. The club owners wish to retain the players purchased
 until the close of their own season. Owners of baseball clubs of the In- | ternational League and American as- sociation will meet at Cincinnati next Tuesday to fight the drafting of their players by the major leagues. accord ! ing to an announcement tonight by
 Edward G. Barrow, president of the | International League.
 They intend, he said, to urge the | national commission. which also meets at Cincinnati on Tuesday, to exempt 1 the three class A leagues from the l draft. The Pacific oCast league, the third of that class, MT. Barrow said | had lost some of it's interest in the anti-draft movement.
 l If the national commission refused | to consider the elimination of the l draft, MT. Barrow added, the draft plan submitted by President Ebbets of the Brooklyn National League clul | would be favored. Under this plar | the drafting of players from the class
 A leagues must stop when the play. CT limit is reached by the major league | terms
