THE AUTOMOBILE THIEF.

If an amendment to the present au-
tomObile laws of the state of Mime
sofa, which provides for punish
ment to fit the crime in cases of auto
mobile thievery, is passed at the CON-
ing session of the state legislature,
the days of the joy-riding thief are
numbered. The bill which is being
prepared by Hon. H. D. Dickinson,
of the Hennepin district court, pro-
vides for straight penitentiary SEN
tence and especially provides that
the fact that the thief intended to re-
turn the machine shall be no defense.
Our present law has left the matter
of intent open to discussion, with the
advantage distinctly with the Of
ender.
Isn't it about time we were get
ting somewhere with this matter of
automobile stealing? It is bad enough
to have to put up with the inconven-
fence of waiting for two or three days
to find your car which has been taken
by some young culprit to joy-ride in
and when it is returned, if ever, ten
chances to one it will. be found to
be all out of line, tenders smashed,
etc. But when one realizes that
there is an organized gang in the
larger cities especially, which makes
a business of stealing cars, taking
them apart, reassembling and then
selling them out of town, we think
it is high time that some move
should be made to put stop to it.
Heretofore the argument has been
advanced by legislators that most of
the offenders were young boys and
very often of good parentage and a
severe penalty would work a hard
ship on the parents. This may have
been so at one time, but experience

would not allow the use of his name,
knew what he was talking about.
Certain it was that games have been
played in quicker time this year than
in the two preceding ones and it is a
certainty that baseball is enjoying
prosperity in the two big leagues it
hasn't known for two seasons.
The defeat of the Federal league
also has removed competition from
the two major leagues and this has
helped swell attendance. Also many
touted stars in the Federal league
have taken their places among the
American and National league play
ers and this has helped to revive in
terest.
Next year will probably see base
ball again established at, the height
of the prosperity and popularity it
enjoyed in 1912.

New York, Sept. 2.-The class OF
baseball this year as compared to the
game put up in 1914 and 1915, has
shown vast improvement, not only
in the major leagues, but in the
smaller organizations.

Football Practice Begins.

Chicago, Sept. 2.-Monday will see
the opening on modest scale of foot
ball practice among the schools of
the Big Nine conference, comprising
Chicago, Purdue, Indiana, Ohio State,
Northwestern, Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Illinois universities.
The call for football material was
sent out last week by coaches in all
the schools, who want their players
under their guiding wing soon.
Although football practice in this
section will not. open until the mid
die Of the month, the coming of Sep
TENDER has found the men eager for
practice. Some candidates for the
gridiron are making the trip all the
way from the Mexican border where
they went with the national guard.
Discussion Of new rules and new
styles of play occupied the training
camps today. The most important
change in the rules of the game is
the one pertaining to the safety. The
rule as it now appears provides that
the man carrying the ball cannot be
forced back from his most advanced
position. A gain once made cannot
be lost through pushing by the oppo-
sition. This rule probably will al
most entirely eliminate the safety.
Coaches also declare it will prevent
injuries to backfeld men and will
give light teams much better chance
against heavier opponents.
Another rule to prevent injuries
this year. is that opposition players
will not be allowed to charge man
attempting to catch a punt, his &C
tivities being restrained to batting
or catching the ball.
October will see every Big Nine
team in action on its home grounds
with second rate tea ms as opponents.
Chicago will meet Carleton college of
Mortified, Mimi; Illinois meets
Kansas; Minnesota plays South Da-
kota; Wisconsin clashes with .Lawz
renee; Northwestern opposes Lake
Forrest. Indiana, Purdue and Ohio
have not named their opponents.
