REDLAND LOSES
HIGH PLACE IN
BASEBALL RULE
Cincinnati Stripped Of National
Commission Data and Judge Ian.
dis Plans Offices in Chicago.

Chicago, Nov 23.-Records of the
old national baseball commission
have been transferred from Cincin-
natl to Chicago in preparation for
the opening of Offices here for
Judge Lands as ruler Of the major
leagues. By visit. to Cincinnati
last week Judge Lands familiar
lied himself with the workings of
the old national commission and
soon is to begin consideration of
baseball problems.
One of the first important oecis-
ions expected. according to reports.
is the division of about $4,000
among members Of the White Sox
team which earned second place
money in the 1920 race. Strong op-
position has arisen in some quar-
tiers to the proposal to exclude from
shares the seven former White Sox
players under indictment for par
dcipating in Throwing" the 1919
worlds series.
Brief Of Case.
They played with the 1920 White
Sox until the confessions of Eddie
Cicotte and Joe Jackson. which led
to their definite suspension just be-
fore the closing series of the sea-
son. Charges we're made openly by
several of their team mates that
the seven were involved in attempts
to throw" games during the 1890
season, but the grand jury indict-
ments took no cognizance Of these
charges.
Meanwhile, the $4,000 due the
second place team as its share OF
the 1920 worlds series receipts re-
mains in the hands Of the two men,
bers Of the old national commits
sion, Presidents Heydler and John
son Of the National and American
leagues. &c.,
The remaining members Of the
1890 Sox team have voted to split
the sum into l6h shares. making
about $500 each, and excluding the
seven suspended players.
This settlement has been opposed
on the ground that, while indicted
the seven Sox players have not
been convicted, and some Of then
deny the charges Of crookedness.
Arguments before Judge Landi,
AZ the supreme arbiter are expected
| to decide the settlement soon.

By Bruce Copeland.

Percy HAughtou. founder Of HAr-
wards coaching system. o3ers the
following suggestions:
Instead Of having IN fnoom-
pleted forward pass revert to- the
team which started the play. make
= forward pass blocked behind the
thrower's line of scrimmage subject
to recovery by opponents under the
same conditions - . blocked kick.
\ AT present, . pass which has
been batted down. but not caught By
an opponents. merely costs the
throwing team . down. II you al
low the blocked forward pass to
be recovered behind the line Of
scrimmage, ~ a blocked kick, you
force the offense to protect the
thrower Just as he must be guarded
II he kicks Instead Of having i've
men eligible to receive . pass. and
In q dangerous position, you should
have only three. possible two.
why restrict the forward pass!
It ID not football, and gradually
the game will stray farther away
from the fundamental aspects and
become . combination Of BASEBALL
and basketball"
