Frazee II a Fighter.
Those who know Frazee claim him
to be a fighter for his rights as he
sees them. They do not hesitate in
saying that Frazee believes his
brother magnates are Jealous OF his
success in coming into the league a
stranger to the game and winning
worlds championship honors almost
at once.
It Is possible that the Boston mag

It Is well known that when Joseph
J. Lannin sold his club to Frazee he
did so without the knowledge of
johnson. The league boss expressed
himself very warmly on that subject
and Lannin answered in kind. There
fore, Frazee found everybody hostile
right at the start OF his baseball ca

smooth for one minute, and that, say
his friends, is his reason for making

rules is TO be held this fall as has
been done in the past. and plans for
the sport. especially in the colleges,
are very much unsettled.
The only change in the rules .: the
game this year is that the curved end
zone, which was adopted last year has
been modified SO that now instead Of
a curve, extending from the end "f
the courts to a point two feet beyond
directly behind the baskets, there -
an end zone two feet wide along each
end OF the court.
This change was explained by pr.
Joseph f. Raycroft, of Princeton,
chairman of the joint rules committee.
as follows:
THE only changes in the rules OF
the game deal with the end zones
which were established last year These
zones proved to be a success adm the
light OF the seasons experience.
Consequently the shape OF the end
zones and the rules governing play
therein may be summarized as fol-
lows: The end zone is a rectangle
extending the full width OF the court
and two feet in depth instead OF being
an arc as provided last year"

is Il. o. Brown. of New York?
Pal Moore, the Memphis bantam, de-
teated the great Jimmy Wilde. Moore
Is not considered the best bantam In
this country. though his stock has
taken a tremendous boost since his
victory over the little Welshman.
Young CLANCY, of Baltimore. proved
himself the best featherweight by his
victory in the finals over Eddie Cou-
lon, another more or less unknown

New York fans laugh at Johnson'5
alleged statement about gambling at
Fenway Park" They are well aware
of conditions at the Polo Grounds, no
matter whether the Yankees or the
Giants are the attraction. The third
base pavilion is notoriously filled with
the baseball gamblers. despite num-
berless raids upon their ranks for the
past couple Of years. If Johnson tries
70 fasten blame upon Frazee for the
presence of gamblers at Fenway
Park, the Boston magnate is likely to
make johnson drive all his magnates
from the league, for gambling exists
IN greater or lesser degree at all ma
3or league ball parks.

SOCCER GAME VILE
DEA MAJOR SPORT
By Rerndt

While soccer football as a college
season. George w. Orton. a member OF
the intercollegiate soccer rules COM
mittee. believes that 1t will be one
OF the most important intercollegiate
sports of the country in a few years.
Orton Is of the opinion that soccer v
a sport which lends itself admirably
to use as a game where large num-
bers OF students must have exercise.
and that for this reason It will be
taken up more extensively row that
the war is over, than ever before.
For the first time in ten years"
Orton Is quoted as saying. -prao-
tically no advance was made last
year by college soccer in this eoun-
try. This was due directly to the
war. and that II is not a permanent
condition Is proved by the fact that
some OF the colleges that gave up
the game last year win return to the
field this year.
"Ths evident necessity Of eeon-
omy no doubt will turn the eyes Of
many college physical directors to
soccer, as this is a game which can
be run with very little equipment.
either as to playing fields or units.
It appeals most strongly now to uni
Versity authorities because they de-
sire to get as many students as pos
sible into sport, so that they may
keep the entire student body up TO
a high state of physical fitness.
"The hearty Endorsement OF soccer
by military heads will no doubt help
along tn" game. The end OF the war
will undoubtedly see soccer again on
the high tide of prosperity. This
seems doubty sure because OF the
overwhelming grasp soccer is taking
on the schools of the entire country"

'I will order my men," said Connie,
TO report here April l, and we will
do our training at Shibe Park for the
opening Of the season. which will be
May /, or a few days preceding that
date.
aThe opening date will be fixed def
initely at the joint meeting of the

it will be much later than usual The
American League owners favor May

with President Baker on the subject.
] don't think he would care to take
a team South if the opening date is
late and don't see why the Athletics
and Phil5 can't play a long series at
home next April. At the earliest OPP
portunity, will communicate this
wish TO the Phil owners"
Connie admits he failed to land
Bobby Roth from the Cleveland In
dians. He says Jim Dunn asked for
pl-yers he couldn't afford to include
in the proposed deal. Larry Gardner
is believed to have been the stumbling
block in the trade. Cleveland could
use Larry very well, but Connie can
also use him even to better advantage.
The boss Of the Athletics has heard
nothing from Clarence Walker, and so
does not know whether to credit his
retirement story or not. I'll be sorry
to lose him. II he retires." says Con-
