Mesdames Cooke, Gardner and Weav-
err Giving Much Time to Order.
The growing work of the junior
Red Cross has made it necessary for
Mrs. |. P. Cooke to resign as chair
man of the executive board of the
Red Cross chapter, to which she has
given her time and talent since its
organization, being largely instru-
mental in securing the long list of
members and equipment for effective
service.
Mrs. j. D. Weaver, who succeeds
Mrs. Cooke, will bring to the work
enthusiasm and thorough knowl-
edge of each branch of the work,
having gone to Atlanta to study ev-
cry detail at headquarters of the
state department of the Red Cross
society.
Mrs. w. H. Gardner, Jr., who has
given such efficient and unselfish SER
vice as secretary of the Terrell Coun-
ty Red Cross, has resigned to give
assistance to Mrs Cooke in the very
important work of enlisting the
young life of the community. A very
happy selection has been made in Sc
curing Mr. w. B. Parks for this of
fee. Important committees will,
with renewed energy, carry for
ward the work which has been so
well begun.

to show what a good fellow he is and
what whale OF a scrapper he is, today
he issued a def to the best three who

He began with Freddie Welsh, and
went right down to Benny Leonard and
Richie Mitchell, the two latter having
been extremely persistent in telling what
they would do to Kilbane IL the oppor-
tunity ever offered. However. there is
the cutest little joker imaginable in

NUMBERING PLAYERS
NOW In BASEBALL

Football men have been discussing the
numbering OF players on the gridiron and
now the same idea has been started on
the baseball field. The other afternoon IN
Memphis, Tenn, the Brooklyn Dodgers
and Boston Red Sox introduced the idea
for the first time on the diamond, wear
ing numbers on their sleeves correspond
ing with the numbers opposite their
names on the scorecards. The numbering
OF players during the regular season
would be appreciated by fans. The real
rabid bug is well acquainted with the
players as they amble over the green
sward: he knows each and every man by
his first name. However. the fans who
attend. games only occasionally would
greatly appreciate the innovation.
There has been no demand to number
ball players, as there is in football. still
the scheme would be pleasing to the fans.

WONDERFUL SEASON
AHEAD in BASEBALL
Players Have Choice of Playing Ball
or Going to War.

New York, April 5.-BasebalI will be
played under more favorable conditions
this year than at any time since 1913.
The coming and going Of several un-
restful seasons. during which time the
very foundation of the good old sport
was rocked, has finally left Old King
Swat battle-scarred but supreme Base.
ball has gone through the war; through
seasons marked by dissatisfaction on the
part OF the players and through stubborn
opposition placed in its path by Dave
Fultz,' of the Players Fraternity
With the Players Fraternity crushed.
II appears that the game will come lack
into its own, and the club owners be-
lieve that they can now give the public
clean, wholesome sport. They believe that
much of the "brotherly love" sentiment
between players and teams when on the
field Of play has been done away with,
and that the good old fighting spirit of
other days will return with the magnates
again holding the upper hand.
The year 1917 marked the expiration Of
many wartime contracts. There is no
Federal League to which the players can
turn, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that every player in the organized
field will play better ball. The minor
leaguers will play their best because they
see chances ahead to graduate into major
league class. as many of the present day
majors are already well started on the
backward path. The major league per-
formers will find themselves out Of Jobs
in the big show unless they give the club
owners their best. So it looks good for
the uplift of the game.
Baseball fans love to see a scrappy
ball club in action. They don't want
rowdyism, but they do want to see the
players get out on the greensward and
make a real contest out of every game
The handshaking ball player will not be
popular this year.
Another good which will be worked by
the revised conditions in baseball will
be the attitude of the players toward the
Impires II John X. Tener and Ban John
son have their way about it, Both major
league presidents feel that the baseball
fans OF the country are out of SYM
pathy with the player who kicks at the
umpire to alibi his shortcomings For
three or four years many of the players
have turned on the umpires every time
they looked bad at the plate or on the
bases.
Presidents Tener and Johnson will in
struct their umpires 10 rule with an iron
hand this season. They believe that the
umpires are honest and they do not be-
lieve that the judges of the game should
be made the targets for alibis.

CHANGES in FOOTBALL
CODE To BETTER GAME
Changing of Rule Governing Sending
in Substitutes Muzzles Coaches.

New York. April Administrative
changes in the football code at the recent
meeting of the rules committee are con-
servative, but they will make toward fair
play and better sportsmanship and foot
ball men In general have studied them
with satisfaction.
Two alterations stand out as especially
commendable.
The first has to do with the incoming
substitute and the second with the inter-
ference lof players receiving q forward
pass
In changing the rule governing the
sending in of substitutes the rules COM
mittee has practically placed a muzzle on
the coaches, who, after they were barred
from side-line coaching, invented a meth
cd Of communicating with their players
through the use Of substitutes.
Last year an incoming player was per-
mitted to talk with the members of his
team, but under the new provision a sub
stitute will not be permitted to converse
with any member of his eleven until after
the ball Is put in play. The penalty will
be fifteen yards. :.
This change is an additional prop un-
der sections of the rules which are meant
to uphold the sportsmanship of the game,
and the new wrinkle will devolve greater
responsibility upon the player who Is
running the team. The rule provides,
also. that II the incoming substitute takes
the place Of the player who has been
calling signals he shall call his own sig
mails and put the ball into play before
conversing with any member of the team.
Cant Interfere with Player,
In altering the rule dealing with the
Interference of a player who Is about
70 receive forward pass, the committee
has made the penalty severe. Under the
new rule the ball will go to the offended
side at the point where the foul is COM
mitted. Formerly 4 penalty of fifteen
yards from the point where the ball was
put in play was imposed on the Offend
Ing side
Some critics believe that under the new
rule players may develop promiscuous H.
legal interference with a view toward
discouraging the use of forward passes,
but the members of the committee be-
lieve that the danger Of fouling Is now so
great that infractions Of the rules will
be greatly reduced.
The rule which affects Coach George
Sanford's multiple kick places a ban on
the use Of artificial tees 1t is still with
In the right Of the player to scrape up
earth from the field for use as a tea,
however Sanford. who is the coach at
Rutgers. was greatly disappointed at the
action, but II Is believed that inasmuch
as the multiple kick has been reduced in
effectiveness only, the inventor will de-
wise new method for using II.
A highly commendable saferuard
against illegal interference behind the
goal line is found in the new rule which
gives the offended side possession of the
ball on the 'one-yard line. This rule pro-
tects the side carrying the ball but also
prevents score on a penalty.
The cut down from behind should have
oeen barred, In the opinion OF many foot
ball men, but It was the belief Of tbs
committee that such a move would rob
the game OF much Of its spectacular
value.
