TENER WILL TEST
STRENGTH AGAINST
AMERICAN LEAGUE

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-John X.
Tener's set ideas regarding the way
things should be run in baseball ar"
going full speed into Chicago today
TO take issue there in a joint meeting
Of National and American League club
owners.
Teners strength as a leader in base
ball is likely TO be put TO severe
test when the American Laguers are
confronted with the program adhered
to here by Tener and his cohorts.
Among them will be a plan TO have
every club in each league, with the
exception OF the eighth. share in the
worlds series receipts. according to
the order in which they finish the
race. Tener believes that this would
keep all clubs hustling throughout
the season.
The National League club owners
went to Chicago instructed to pull for
the old 154-Eame schedule. This
hasn't been definitely decided upon.
but it is Che general opinion no cut
should be made. The National League,
however, is ready TO shorten the play
ing season II by SO doing the number
Of games f. not cut.

waiver rule. He wanted the rule

The league amended the cOnstitu-
ton TO allow appeals to the board Of
directors on suspensions. The diff
Guilty grew out of the trouble be-
tween John McGraw and Governor

fly for criticising the league execu-
tive. Harry Hampstead tried to sp-
peal to the board OF directors, but

One radical change in relation to
the basketball court and several minor
code notifications are noted in the
191T-1s1s official basketball rules just
off the press.
The basketball committee composed
OF college Y. N. c. A. and A A. L.
officials. is headed by DIR. Joseph E.
Raycroft. OF Princeton University,
who is in Washington on war work in
connection with recreation activities
for the army.
Only Important Change.
The one important modification OF
the playing code has to do with the
courts itself. A new end boundary
line has been provided. The plane Of
the blackboard which holds the basket
no longer marks the boundary line.
The entire blackboard is within
bounds, and on the floor the player
has an additional leeway OF two feet
under the basket
The change is enexperiment, but Is
designed to further open up the play.
"hcGo inc Gnu OOunudiy lihc 10 II
wall this change cannot apply
Minor Modification.
The minor notifications in this
years basketball rules call for a sub
stitute player reporting to the scorer
before reportiag to the referee. and
the scorer notifies the official. The
scorers horn d9es not stop play.
In regard to a player travelling"
with the ball the section is made
clearer as follows: A player who is
standing still when he receives the
ball may step one foot in any dlrec-
ton in making a pass or starting a
dribble. but the remaining foot must
be kept in position until the ball has
left his hands.
4 player who f. standing still
when he receives the ball, may, In
throwing for goal. step or stride one
foot in any direction and then may
jump from one or both feet, but the
ball must leave his hands before one
or both feet again touch the moor.
Due allowance is to be made for q
player catching the ball while run
ming. provided he stops as soon as
possible.
A player with the ball In his pos
session. who changes his position
without apprecisbly advancing the
ball in any direction, shall not be con-
sidered as running with the ball.

STATE WIDE MOVEMENT
 FOR GOOD ROADS

Little Rock, March 9.-A statewide movement for cam paign of good roads, under the auspices of the Little Rock and the Arkansas Motor Clubs. President J. B. Dickinson has an- nounced that within the next month trips will be made from Little Rock to Pine Bluff, Hot Springs, Conway and other near by cities by members of the Lit tie Rock club, for the purpose of organizing other clubs and affiliating them with the state association.
 Our object is primarily" says Pres. Dickinson, Ito con- meet every county seat in Ark ansas with a hard surfaced road. Our Little Rock organiza- tion was largely instrumental in getting the bill to build the Lit tie Rock-Benton-Hot Springs highway through the legislature. We also pulled several districts out of the mire, and put them in fair shape for passage. Now we must work for good roads men in the Constitutional Convention. We must work in sections where there are not now good roads, so as to create sentiment for good roads, and if we cannot get provisions in the new Constitu- tion, then we must prepare for the next session of the 1egisla- ture. I think the Arkansas Motor Club is going to be the big road building organization of the state in the future. We are out after good roads and will have them

HOT SPRINGS ROBBERS ARRESTED IN LITTLE ROCK

D. niel Golden and Dave Gross, both about 25 years old, were arrested at the Iron Mountain station last night as they alighted from a train from Hot Springs and are being held in connection with a robbery alleged to have been committed at Hot Springs Wednesday night. With Sam Green, under arrest in Hot Springs, officers say they are ac- cused of having robbed a race horse man named Stanley at Hot Springs of $500 in money and a $1,000 diamond ring.
 It is said that Green was ar rested at Hot Springs yesterday afternoon while attending the races. The Young & Sullivan Detective Agency, working on the case, notified Little Rock police last night to watch for the two men arrested. They also notified Marshal L. E. McMillan at Benton.
 Marshal McMillan located the men on the passenger train at Benton and came to Little Rock with them. He helped arrest them. He said the two men drove from Hot Springs to Mall ven in an automobile, and that at Malvern they purchased tickets for St. Louis.
 When the men were searched at police headquarters $208 was taken from them. They denied any knowledge of the robbery at Hot Springs. Detective Young of Hot Springs, who was follow ing the two men, notified local officers last night that he would come after Golden and Gross at onee.-Gazette.
