RICKEY GETS IN COURT
Browns Restrain Him From Running
st. Louis National Club.

St Louis, Mo, March 29.-Branch
Rickey's drive to secure subscriptions
to Cardinal stock was halted today
by a temporary injunction issued in
the circuit court which restraints him
from acting as president of the Car
dinal syndicate.
The petition for injunction. filed by
Phil Ball, owner of the st. Louis
Browns, is returnable next Wednes-
day morning. Ball in his petition
says Hickey is under contract to him
as efficiency expert for the 1917 sea-
son. Hickey while admitting this
agreement, says he had verbal per-
mission to break if he could better
himself and will introduce witnesses
to this permission.
just what Hickey can and cannot
do is much of a mystery today. But
he and James c. Jones, trustee of
the Cards, are taking no chances on
contempt of court charges and the
restrained Cardinal president will sit
around and gather up material to be
used in fighting the order next week.

Critics Think They VIII Help
Football Game Great Deal.
More Responsibility Has Been
Placed on the Captains.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York. March 29.-Constructive
changes in the football code at the
recent meeting of the rules committee
are conservative, but they will make
toward fair play ana better sportsman
ship, and football men in general have
studied them with satisfaction.
Two alterations stand out as espe-
cially commendable
The first has TO do with the incom-
ing substitute and the second with the
interference of players receiving for
ward pass.
In changing the rule governing the
sending in of substitutes the rules
committee has practically placed a
muZzle on the coaches, who, after they
were barred from side-line coaching,
invented a method of communicating
with their players thru the Use of sub
stitutes.
Last year an incoming player was
permitted to talk with the members
of his team, but under the new pro
vision a substitute will not be permit
ted to converse with any member OF
his eleven until after the ball is put
in play. The penalty will be fifteen
yards.
Make Players Responsible.
This change is an additional prop
under sections of the rules which are
meant to uphold The craftsmanship of
the game, and the new wrinkle will
Gevolve greater responsibility upon
the player who is running the team
The rule provides, also, that if the in
coming substitute takes the place OF
the player who has been calling
signals he shall call his own signals
and put the ball into play before con-
versing with any member of the team
In altering the rule dealing with
| the interference of a player who IS
about to receive a forward pass, the
! committee has made the penalty Sc
]
will go to the offended side at the
point where the foul is committed.
| Formerly a penalty of fifteen yards
from the point where the ball was
put in play was imposed on the Of
Tending side.
Some critics believe that under the
new rule players may develop pro-
miscuouS illegal interference with a
view toward discouraging the use OF
| forward passes, but the members of
the committee believe that the dan
ger of fouling is now so great that
infractions of the rules will be greatly
! reduced.
No Artificial Tees.
The rule which affects Coach
George Sanford's multiple kick places
| a ban on the use of artificial tees. 1t
is still within the right of the player
| to scrape up earth from the field for
i is the coach at Rutgers, was greatly
disappointed at the action, but it is
| believed that inasmuch as the null
tiple kick has been reduced in eff
fectiveness only, the inventor will de-
wise a new method for using it.
A highly commendable safeguard
against illegal interference behind the
goal line is found in the new rule
which gives the offended side posses
sion of the ball on the vineyard line
This rule, protects the side carrying
the ball, but also prevents a score on
> penalty.
The cut down from behind should
have been barred. in the opinion OF
many football men, but it was the
belief of the committee that such q
move would rob the game of much
of it's spectacular value

SPIRITED RIVALRY IN
PROMOTING MAIN ROADS

American Motorist; Giving ind.
vidual names to our most travelled
highways, and identifying them the
greater part or all of their length by
some quickly.recognized and easily
followed symbol or color, is a prac.
tice which is making remarkable prog
ress throughout the United States"
says Robert Bruce, writing on the
subject of named and marked auto
mobile highways.
This he continues, "is due largely
to popular recognition of the increased
travel by automobile, the multiplied
distance that can be covered in a unit
of time as compared with other meth
DDS of transportation in the days of
fragmentary and detached roadways,
and the competition among the enter
prising communities to be on we'll
known lines of travel"
Mr.. Bruce names the National Road
Lincoln Highway, Mohawk Trail, Dixie
Highway River.to-River Road, Pixies
Peak Ocean.to-0cean Highway, Merid-
ian Road, Yellowstone Trail, Jackson
Military Highway, and Midland Trail
as a random selection to illustrate the
accepted names of important through
roads, and then he goes on to tell OF
the spirited rivalry existing between
some OF the great highways.
"The rivalry between the central
route. or Lincoln Highway, and the
southern route or National Old Trails
road has come to be particularly spir-
tied, he says, AT Big Springs, Neb.,
there has been erected signboard
ten feet high and twenty feet wide.
Upon this is drawn map of the en-
tire surrounding country, supplement
ed with explanatory reading matter.
Both the reading and the outline map
are meant to impress the tourist with
the fact that he may here leave the
central route, go down through Den
yer. Colorado Springs and Pueblo to
Trinidad. connecting there with the
all year route to California via the
Grand Caynon. Yet Trinidad, the
nearest point on the Old Trails route,
is over 300 miles from the big sign
board on the Lincoln Highway"
After discussing the competitive fea
lures OF the slgnboards of the middle
west, Mr.. Bruce remarks:
Truly there is nothing left of the
old frontier; even its romance and
traditions are rapidly fading from the
memory Of living men,

NAVAL RESERVE OFFICER
DELUGED WITH QUERIES
ABOUT ENLISTMENT

New Orleans, April 21-Delused
with requests for information concern
ing the possibilities of securing com
missions as officers by enrolment in
the United States navy reserve forces,
and being already crowded with work
incident to their duties, the naval Of
ficers in charge Of the enrolment of
the United States navy reserve forces
of the eighth naval district, have been
unable to reply to this correspond
ence.
The number of officers in the eighth
naval district do not permit of their
sending out travelling parties to enroll
the applicants for officers in the re-
serve in the hundreds of cities ana
towns included in this district.
This district comprises the states Of
Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas and
the western part of Florida, and the
number of officers required to com
plete the organization of the reserve
force is practically completed.
1t has only been possible so far, to
examine and explain the different
classes Of the reserve forces to the
applicants, who have applied in per-
son to the enrolment office Of the
reserve at S04 Gravier street, New
Orleans La.
Later, When the situation is better
in hand it may be possible to send
out travelling parties for enrolment
purposes. Men are being rapidly en-.
rolled in the New Orleans Office as.
signed to active duty by the com
mandant of the New Orleans naval
station, but the enrolment officer has
found it impossible to accept appli-
cants from other parts of the country,
unless it is possible for them to ap-
pear in person.
Examinations both mental and ply.
sical are required before applicants
for officers may be enrolled into the
service, and these examinations must
be given by competent naval officers.

They will, however. be a home de- fense, in case need of defense should arise from any cause, and they will be given training that would increase their efficiency in case they should be called on to help fight the country's battles.
 The Daily Alaskan hopes that neither the boys and men Of Skag- way nor those of any other town .or city, will be required to go to the front and bear the brunt of war. .But the situation compels one to admit that such necessity may come about and that 1t is therefore tn- cumbent on Americans to leave nothing undone that might help to- ward preparedness.
 There can be no question about the patriotism Of Alaskang and the citizens of Skagway, Should the country call them to arms they would respond to 8 man.
 i But this spirit should be ex- tended to the spirit Of preparedness. A home guard in skagway might be Of service in Skagway. It cer- tainly would be of service iu train ing men should those men be called to the colors.
 Under the auspices of the Elks, 1t Is proposed that a meeting shall be held to organize the proposed guard. No date has been fixed for the meeting, but, when 1t is held, 1t should be attended in such num- hers by the boys and men of Skag- way as tc insure an effective or ganizatlcn from the very start.

Hammond, who comes 10 Alaska a cheechako from the sunny cline of California.
 MT. Hammond comes from the Golden State fresh with ideas of progressyeness, bubhhng over, in fact, with ideas of the Yastness and possibilities of the greatness of the resLurces of this great north land, and it is he who will in flu lure divert your thought into new channels whereby these resources, of Alaska Territory in general, and Skagway in particular, may be brought to your attention in such a manner that the benefits accruing from tbls development may rebound tu your benefit in a substantial manner.

HOME GUARD FOR SKAGWAY

Patriotism and fraternalism are the foundation stones Of the Bene- yolent and Protective Order of Elks. Love Of country and love of fellow man are the principles on which the organization has been built.
 Now that the United States Is facing q crisis, a crisis that may de- velOD into the most momentous per iod in it's history, it is only ma aural to suppose that Blks will be amon= the first to support the eff fort to defend the United States and tho policies which attended its birth and ever since have accomPan- jed its growth and development.
 And this is what they are doing, in all parts of the country. In skagway the Elks are sponsors for the movement to form a home guard.
 Organization of this guard will net necessarily mean that the men who join will be called to the front
