SNOWDEN, HELDAS
BRANDON SLAYER,
BACK IN ANNAPOLIS

ANNAPOLIS. Oct. 6.-Slipped in un-
der veil OF deepest secrecy, evident
Iy because the authorities are still un.
certain of the temper of the public
toward him, John Snowden. negro. al
legged murderer of Mrs. Lottie Bran
don. has been transferred from Balti-
more to the Anne Arundel jail.
The negro has been in the local in
stltution since Tuesday. Since that
time there have been several denials
from the officials at the Jail that he
was an inmate. However. 1t was defi-
nitely established today that the man
has been brought to Annapolis. and Is
now occupying a cell on the second
floor OF the Annapolis lookup.
He was brought to this city from
Baltimore in an automobile, under
guard OF Chief Deputy Sheriff Grafton
Boone. The negro still maintains his
innocence OF the fearful crime OF
which he Is accused. and in the weeks
he has been incarcerated has stead
fastly resisted all efforts to wiring
from him a confession.
Secrecy Not Necessary.
The secrecy surrounding his trans
fer from Baltimore and the denials Of
his presence in the jail here were due
to the fact that the authorities felt
It safest to not let the general public
know OF his presence here. How
ever. this seems to have been but a
Euperabundance OF caution. as a close
investigation of local conditions fails
utterly to develop the slightest in
dication OF any race feeling. Indeed,
many OF the white people OF Annapo-
lis, who might be looked to to create
mob spirit, do not think the negro
guilty.
Snowden will be represented when
his trial comes up by w. A Hawkins,

a month for room and board.
Recently. she said. this young wo-
man was Informed by her landlady

NEW RULES BAR
COACHES FROM
y LINE TACTICS

The latest revision OF the foot
ball rules, edited by Walter Camp,
the Yale football mentor, has one
new feature which will do away with
one of the most Objectionable fea-
lures the game has developed during
/ the past few seasons. This is the
new rule which prohibits an incom-
ing substitute from communicating
with his team on the field until after
the first play. In many of the big
gridiron games the substitute sub
terfuge was carried on to unreason-
able extremes. 1t was no uncommon
sight to see substitute sent from the
side lines with information at a criti-
cal point of a game.
Sideline coaching has been a sub
tect with which the rule makers have
been graphing for the last few sea-
sons. First, the sidelines were clear
ed of the many assistant coaches
and scouts, who used to crowd both
sides of the field at the important
games. The freedom of head coach
was also restricted, and when the
new rules permitted frequent sub
stitutions, these players were used as
a means of conveying information
from the coaches to the players on
the field. Gradually the initiative
was taken from the players until
contest of automatons, which moved
only at the beck and call of the
coach on the side lines.
Help to Players
Prohibiting this Objectionable fea-
ture will tend to throw the football
| players on their own resources and
will develop strategy which hereto
fore has been dependent on sideline
| observation. There is but one eX-
ception to this rule and that is in
the case of the quarterback. If the
substitute replaces the quarterback,
he is permitted to give the signal,
but in no other way is he permitted
to communicate with the players un-
til after. the first play.
The new restriction which has
been placed on the forward pass
will increase the value of this i'm
portant play. One of the dangerous
features of the forward pass has
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-09-08

been the liability of the receiver of
the ba)i being roughed. A new rule
this Season provides that when a
player interferes with player at
tempting to catch the forward pass,
the penalty will be the loss of the
ball to the offended side, at the spot
where the foul was committed.
The Placckick
The placekick has been more
clearly defined in the new code, and
the play must be made by kicking
the ball from its position where rest
ing on the ground. This does away
with the use of artificial tees such
as were used in some of the games
last season. In one or two contests
placekicks were made by placing a
headgear on the ground and kicking
the ball while it rested on the head
gear. Gradually the rules makers
are eliminating the Objectionable
features of the gridiron game. In
the present edition of the rules the
committee points out that the rules
as they stand to-day should be al
lowed to crystaliZe as nearly as pos
sible in their present form.
Holding Tactics
Holding is one violation of the
rules which has never been rigidly
enforced. There is no feature of the
S6Ule WHICH CtillS lOT IllOEe pe1dllleS
during a game than holding. In
pointing out the Importance. of elimi-
mating this feature from the game
the committee has Incorporated in
the rule book, under the interpreta-
tion of the code, the following:
Holding is prohibited by the rules
because it does not belong in the
game of football. 1t is an unfair
play. 1t eliminates skill. The slowest
man in the world can make forty
yard run in every play if the rest
of his teammates would hold their
opponents long enough. The game
is to advance the ball by strategy,
skill, and speed, without holding
your opponent. Perhaps a good
game could be invented the object
of which would be to advance the
ball as far as possible with the as
sistance of holding your opponents,
but it would not be football"

FAIR CHAMPION
IS KNOWN HERE
Mrs. L. G. Vogel Leading
Woman Trapshooter; Is
Native of Lancaster
BY PETER p. CARNEY
Editor National Sports Syndicate

EulJOf NatlOnal sports SynuiCate
The new trapshooting champion
among the fair sex is Mrs. L. G.
Vogel, of Detroit, Mich.
There is no special event to decide
the woman's trapshooting champion
ship at this years grand American
trapshooting tournament, as there
was in st. Louis last year, therefore
the title is passed to Mrs. Vogel by
reason of her score of IS breaks from
IS yards in the grand American
handicap. 1t was the top score made
by the fair pianas in this compe-
tition.
Mrs. Vogel for several years has
been recognized as the best of the
women trapshooters, amateurs, of
course, for without question Mrs.
Topperwein is the ranking trapshot
among the fair sex. Mrs. "Topp" is
q professional.
Anxious for Honors
Whsn Mrs. Vogel took up with
the sport Of trapshooting ten years
ago she determined to become the
best of the women amateur trap
shooters in the United States. When
a woman makes up her mind to sue
ceed she usually does what she sets
out to accomplish. Mrs. Vogel re-
mained out of the woman's cham
pionship event last yer because she
desired the other Dianas of the traps
to have little tournament of their
own.
Shooting has always been hobby
with the Detroit woman. She shot
at live birds as Anna Reicker. of
Lancaster, Pa, and did creditable
work at this style of shooting. Mrs.
Vogel is a thorough sportswoman, a
firm believer in fair play and clean
sport. She takes as good care of
herself at a trapshooting tournament
as an athlete does in preparing for
a foot race. She retires never later
than Q o'clock and is up and around
before Z a. M, and enjoys walk
before breakfast.
Is Wcsty Hogan Member
Mrs. Vogel enjoys the distinction
of being the only woman member
of the Westy Hogans.
Previous to this championship Mrs.
Nogel won the indoor trapshooting
champion for women in Madison
Square Garden, New York. in 1912
13-14-15 and the outdoor champion
ships in Grand Central Palace. New
York, in 1914 and 1915. She has
broken 100 straight innumerable
times and in 1915 was member of
the five man" team that won the
Michigan state championship. Mrs.
Vogel shot on the Detroit team
against Mathewson. Crandall, Bender
and Davis when the quartet of base
ball stars toured the country as trap
shooters two years ago. Mrs. Vogel
was formerly Anna Reicker, of Ian
caster. and has many friends in Har-
risburg.

Alleging that Hansen Horsey, for
mer Reading Tristate pitcher, who
won seven games for Hagerstown of

test with the president of the league
against awarding the pennant to

George Wiltse wired home that the
