largely a Qualification of verbage. Such
cumbersome terms as STRIKER out" and
stroke were replaced by the regular
American words receiver and
point The adoption of the changes
puts the rules into modern language,
makes the definitions brief and much
clearer than they were.
Besides the bylaws, the constitution
also was revised, but with the excep-
ton OF the dropping Of the word ma
tionai' in the associations title,
nothing radical was done. These
changes, too, were made to add concise
ness to the former wordy paragraphs.
For years the foot fault rule has
been. "a bone of contention. Many re-
visions have been suggested and many
made. As the rule stood before yester-
days meeting it was virtually the same
as that of England, France, Australia
and the other leading tennis nations,
with this difference, that the foreign
rules were very concise, whereas ours
were long and virtually unintelligible.
Back Of Base.Lin
The suggestion of the rules commit
tee would have allowed player to make
a hop or jump before or during his
service and, according to Bill Tilden and
other good service artists who had tried
1t out. the proposed change would have
given the server q huge advantage.
But the committee lost this battle
and Mahan's amendment was adopted.
His rule compels the player to stand
back of the base line, between the side
and middle service lines extended and
to keep one foot on the ground at all
times.
This means that the server cannot
jump, hop or take a step before hitting
the ball with his racket. 1t will pre-
vent servers from getting an advantage
in going to the net by getting q flying
start before the ball is actually served.
At the same time it helps the server,
who naturally moves one loot, whether
ON purpose or refiexively.
Formerly such moment was a
technical footfault, the calling of
which has often caused player to go
completely to pieces when he really did
nothing that was against the spirit of
the rules, although he violated the let
ter.
On the whole, the rules committee did
itself exceedingly proud and the associa-
tion as whole put into operation
movements which are destined to in
crease many fold the popularity of lawn
tennis.

Jack Ldpp Dies;
Pneumonia Victim,

Continued from Page Ono
His wife was before her marriage, Miss
Mamie Shoemaker, of 14o6 North
Fourth street.
Last year, Jack managed the North
Philadelphia All Stars.
With AS in 1908
Lapp was with the Athletics from the
season of 1908 until he was released by
Connie Mack to the Chicago White Sox
in 1916. There was no trade nor money
consideration, the Chicago Club simply
taking over the contract which he had
with the local American League Club.
He retired from major league baseball
the same year.
While with the Mackmen, Lapp was
popular player both with his team
mates and the fans. He figured large
ly in the winning of several pennants
by the Athletics. He was not a snowy
backstop, but a strong armed. hard hit
ting catcher who worked all the time he
was behind the bat.
When Jack Coombs, Mack's one time
, Iron Man mounder, was in his prime,
his battery mate was Lapp. When this
pair worked so splendidly together,
Mack had an entire team that batted
more than 300. Lapp was often used
as a pinch hitter, when not in the
regular lineup, and thus started many
a rally that ended in an Athletic
victory.
Played With Chester
Lapp was born at Frazier, Pa, Sep.
tember 10, 1884. His first playing o.
prominence was in 1905 and 1905, will
the Berwyn Main Line League. Nine
teen hundred and seven saw him will
the Portsmouth, Va, Chester, Pa, an,
Syracuse, N. Y. teams. While will
the latter club he suffered an attacl
of typhoid fever. After recovering h
finished the season with the Allentow,

| In 1908 he was with the HazletoI
Atlantic League club, where he game,
a great reputation. He was secures
by the Athletics in the fall of tha
year. In 1909 he was loaned to tn
Newark Eastern League team, but wa
recalled when Catchers Thomas an,
Livingston were hurt.

OUAKERS WIN POINTS
AT TENNIS MEETING
viii Play by
This Footfault Rule

The new footfault rule was adopted
by the u. s. l.. II. A. last night
after a bitter fight.
The rules committees proposal
law on this subject was replaced by
the following. offered by l.. e. Ma
han, of the West Side Tennis Club:
Before commencing to serve the
server shall stand with both feet at
rest behind, i. c., farther from the
net than the base line.
From the time Of taking such
stand, and until the racket strikes
the ball, both feet shall remain be-
hind the base line, and at least one
foot shall remain continuously on
the ground"
1t is evident from this tersely
worded rule that in the future there
will be no question about the servers
stepping unlawfully into the court
or hopping when he delivers his
service.

STATE WILL GIVE
BATTLE TO PENN
Center County Team May Stop
Quakers' Consecutive Win
ming Record Tonight

The Penn State basketball team,
which has set fashy record this sea-
son. is ready to give Penn a great battle
in Weightman Hall tonight.
The Center county quintet has been
breezing along at speedy gait and may
break the consecutive winning record
of the Red and Blue five. Lon Jour-
det's combination has snatched off nine
victories this year without having a de-
feat registered against them.
There will be an interesting individual
battle between Danny McNichol. the
star Penn guard. and Wolfe, the stellar
State forward. Against Lafayette the
other nigth at Easton Wolfe registered
nine goals.
Penn State defeated the Swarthmore
College five last night in thrilling
game by the close score of 25 to %.
The game was nip and tuck from
start to finish. The Garnet, how
ever, held a few points lead throughout
the game until the last five minutes,
when the upstate boys finally forged
ahead.
The playing of both teams was so fast
and furious that the referee had his
hands full in handling the game. The
shooting of Mullan, the visiting for
ward, was of the sensational type, he
landing two shots in the second hall
from beyond the middle of the floor

JOCK SOUTAR PLAYS
FOR RACQUET TITLES
Meets Otto GIocker Today for
American and Canadian
Crowns

Jock Soutar, of the Racquet Club, and
Otto Glocker, of Boston, began play
today at the Racquet Club for the
American and Canadian squash racquets
professional championship. Both titles
are held by Soutar, who is also the open
racquets champion of the world. Jock
is so far superior to the other racquets
players that no one will tackle him for
the racquets title, but the squash players
of Boston think their professional can
win the squash title.
They will play for the titles mentioned
and for $1,000 a side. Five games were
to be played here today and five more
in Boston next Saturday. The titIes
will go to the player winning the great
est number of games. but in the event
of both winning five each, it viii
be settled by the number of points. This
arrangement has been made so as to do
away with the need of third match
The seating capacity of the RACQUET
Club is limited TO fifty and every seat
has been taken by the enthusiastic fol
lowers of the present champion.
