FORWARD PASSER
Football Rule Committee Rec
ommends Further Changes
in Present Code

Philadelphia. Sept. 81. - Coaches
and officials identified with college
and school football to the number
of more than fifty gathered at the
Walton last night for an anteseason
conference to discuss elusive quirks
and twists in the rules. Many knotty
points were given a uniform inter-
probation after general discussion,
but the rules themselves were found
so generally satisfactory that only
one recommendation was made 10
be submitted to the meeting of the
football rules committee in New
York Saturday night.
This change concerned the protec-
ton of the player who has just
thrown forward pass. 1t was gem
orally felt that such a player was
exposed to too great an amount of
roughing, and the meeting passed a
motion made by Wilmer Crowell,
Swarthmore, recommending that the
rules give the passer the same pro-
lection as that afforded the punter.
Attendance Large
The attendance was more than
double the number that appeared
for the meeting held after the 1916
season at the same place. This was
the first anteseason meeting of the
sort ever held here. In addition to
the coaches and officials of this city,
and surrounding country, several
players in the United Safes Marine
squad and their coach, Captain Ho-
gan, were Interested listeners. Among
The players was Eddie Mahan, the
famous Harvard star.

Gals had so far appointed but 551
officials as compared with 1928 at
this time last year. He also read a
letter from Walter Camp, of Yalef
asking for coaches to volunteer for
service at naval training stations.
Rules as to Subs
The alterations in the rules of 1910
were discussed at length, particular,
ly the rule concerning message
ing substitutes. No sub entering the
game is permitted to communicate
with his team until after one play
has been executed. He may not call
signals unless he replaces the player
who has been calling them. He may
not convey a message by any sign
which the officials can detect.
Other important interpretations
were of the placement kick rule, the
pass that hits a goal after three time
outs have already been taken in any
one half.

STARS IN WORLDS SERIES
WHO EXPECT TO FIGURE;
THEIR BASEBALL CAREER
BY W. II. HOEFER

DAVIS A. ROBERTSON
(Rightfielder, New York Giants)
A college football game, a
broken collarbone and John Nc
Graw decided the outfield fate of
Dave Robertson. Dave was a
pitcher when McGraw first saw
him in 1912, while still q col
lege student. Mac needed a good
left handler, he liked the work
of the young southerner and
signed him to report the follow
ing spring.
In the meantime Robertson
who was a football star, played
the pigskin game that fall and
received the injury that ended
his pitching career. 1t was then
that the Giant boss decided to
make an outfielder of Dave. Six
feet tall, weighing about 10
latter was one of the fastest
birds that McGraw had even
seen and, moreover, was a ma
tural slugger. So Davis went to
the outtield, began pumping out
long drives and beating out
bunts with his terrific speed and,
after a year with Mobile he be-
came a Giant regular and a Ma
tional League star.
Robertson is one of the fast
est men in sheer sprinting speed
in the game to-day. He has a
keen batting eye, free, slashing
swing at the bat and is long.
cleanup batter. With Bennie
Kauff's fire and dash and his
own natural physical advan-
tages, Dave would be a close
rival of Cobb.
The chief trouble with Robby,
the thing that has kept him from
leading the league in both field
ing and batting is his easy GO
ing temperament. He lacks some
of the cockyness of Kauff and
the intense nervous tension of
Cobb.
Dave is a flashy, sensational
fielder. He covers as much out
field ground as any one, has a
good arm and in defensive play
is almost as good as they come.
In 1918 he hit 1895 with Mobile
and stole 81 bases. His first year
as a Giant he hit $50, poled the
onion for .294 in 1915 and last
year hit .307. With all his speed
Dave ought to steal more bases
than he does. Last year he stole
81, the year before 22, when 9TH
er players were getting bigger
totals on less actual speed but,
perhaps, better judgment.
The present season has been
poor one for player of Robby's
ability. He has been down
around $50 when normally he
is a 800 swatter, and, poten-
TALLY, the best batter. on the
club.
Portsmouth, Va, is the birth
place of this southerner and he
is 20 years old.

JOE JACKSON
JOSEPH JACKSON

JOSEPH JACKSON
(Rightfielder, Chicago White Sox)
Ten years ago 20-year-old
lad was working twelve hours a
day in a cotton mill for S1.25.
To-day he is about to step into
the famous world series and
make from $4,000 to $4,000 for
playing a few games of base
ball.
Sounds like melodramatic fic-
ton. doesn't it?
Yet it happens to be actual
fact. For tho lad was Joe Jack
son, now the famous rightfielder
of the White SoX, one of the
oldest characters in the games
history.
The story of Jackson reads
like a dime novel and could
properly be entitled From Pow
erty to Riches" Joe is one of
a family of eight children and
was born near Brandon Mills, a
poor section of South Carolina,
July 16, 1887. His early train
ing consisted of hard work in
the cotton mills, instead of
schooling, and he was called
"Shoeless Joe" as a youngster.
At 13 years of age he was a
mill hand. At 81, he played ball
for SIS month and considered
himself lucky. His rise to dia-
mond fame is one of the most
sensational in baseball history.
Jackson has led every league
in batting he ever. played in.
In 1908 he led the Carolina AS
sociation with .346, in 1909 the
South Atlantic League with .35S,
in 1910 ne American League in
twenty games with the astound-
ing mark of 1887 and the South
ern League the same year with
.354. His first regular season in
the majors he busted the pill for
.40S and followed it the next
year with 1876.
Walter Johnson calls Jackson
the greatest natural batter he
ever saw and baseball sharps
agree that he is the most natural
player in the game to-day.
Joe" who greatly resembles
Cobb in build is six feet tall,
weighs 175 pounds, and is built
like a greyhound, lean, sinewy
and fast. There isn't a physical
weakness in his makeup and
with Cobbs mental quickness,
Joe would be the greatest player
of the age.
'Shoeless Joe" started as a
catcher and to-day bears a scar
on his forehead while backstop-
ping. He also tried pitching and
quit after breaking the arm of
a mill hand in his first effort.
Connie Mack signed him in
1908 on tip from a man nam
ed Stoush, but before getting to
Philadelphia, Jackson became
homesick, left the train and beat
it back south. Later, he played
for Mack until sold to Cleve-
land.
This year, for the first time in
his life, Jackson has hit under
800 most of the year. But his
collective major league batting
mark outclasses that of every
other member of either series
club.
Potentially the best batters of
leir clubs, both Jackson and Robert
on have played below form this sc
on. At their best Jackson outclasse
good as the latter is.
Id eYeni this year has outhit hiT
by 80 points. jackson
is the edge by a good margin.
