TECH AND CENTRAL BASEBALL
CANDIDATES HARD AT WORK

Baseball in the camps OF Tech and
Central High School has advanced
farther so far than in any other
training quarters of the other high
schools. and the latter has probably
gotten what is the fastest start OF
any high or prep nine In this vicin-
ity. as yesterday completed the
fourth week of practice for Meme
fees men. y
Tech will probably put a stronger
team in the field this season than
last. Coach Apple thinks that with
over one hundred boys striving for
places he can turn out a team some-
what resembling the championship
aggregation he had two years ago.

ONLY TWO SLIGHT
CHANGES MADE IN
GRIDIRON RULES
Game as it Is Now Played
Given o. X. by Com
\ mittee.

NEW YORK. March 12.-Express-
Ing the opinion that the game is all
right as II Is now played. the foot
ball rules committee made only two
slight changes In the code at the
conclusion of its annual meeting
here today.
After a safety. IL was decided to
bring the ball out for play to the
3o-yard line instead of the 20-yard
line. NT
Another change vests officials
with the power to warn players for
in the case of illegal substitutions
and formations when penalties
must be inflicted.
Many technical changes were
made to make clear the wording of
existing rules. Clipping" was fur
ther defined as consisting. of tack
ling. diving or throwing the body
against any player obviously out of
the play.
The commItte lent its approval to
the recent suggestion OF the coaches
for a rules meeting at the close OF
the season. Sectional meetings are
to be called by :he members of the
rules committee.
Another shU. al professional foot
hall was taker by the committee in
recommendation to the central
board of officialr that after next
season any official who acts in a
professional game be removed from
the list of approved officials.
N. A. Tufts. Brown. c. w. Morice,
Penn. and Al Sharpe, Yale. were
appointed members of the advisory
board of officials.

NAVY GYMNASTS
DEFEAT TIGERS

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. March I..-To
add to the already crowning tri-
umph of the winter indoor season of
athletics at the Naval Academy
which closed today. the midshipmen
gymnssts defeated the representa-
tives of Princeton, and the fencers
easily scored over the bladcsmen OF
the University of Pennsylvania in
dual engagements.
In the gymnastic meet the Tigers
furnished the stiffest opposition the
middies have encountered this sea-
son. Roberts and Fisher, two of their
team, who perform on the parallel
bars and the horizontal bar. could
not compete because of a recent at.
tack of sickness. The navy entries
went through the performances Just
the same and collected all of the
points. which read the score: Navy
80; Princeton. Is. The middiss will
now point themselves for the in
tercollegiate finals to be held at
Princeton on Saturday next.
In the fencing match the sailor
lads were far too clever and won
twelve out of a series OF fifteen
bouts. They took seven out of the
nine bouts with the foil: four sabr.
contests and the one epee bout that
was contested was captured by Het-
finger. Of Pennsylvania.

action 10 or In not taken by the
State. county or city, regarding the
indictments against eight white
Sox players In connection with the
world series scandal OF 1913, the
athletes involved will have to show,
Judge X. NJ. lands a clean bill be-
fore they can play in organized
baseball.
Conflicting reports, emansting to-
day from the State attorneys Of
fices and from local baseball head
quarters, were the occasion Of the
action by Judge lands placing all
the implicated ball players on the
ineligible list. as a protection to the
national psstime.
From the State attorneys ofiees
came the report that when the base
ball scandal cases were called Mon
day before Judge Dever the prose-
cution would make q motion to have
them taken from the call. This
would be equivalent. in the present
congested state OF the Criminal
Court docket to delaying trial Of the
indicted ball players until next fall.
Report Of Delay Denied
State Attorney Grove later denied
that this was the purpose OF asking
for delay. He explained that the
assignment of four attorneys to
prosecute the baseball cases entail
ed the allotment Of time TO become
familiar with the evidence but that
it was not the intention to postpone
action longer than necessary to in
sure a successful prosecution.
Former Judge Barrett. who was
employed as special counsel for the
American League, also is desirous
of more time TO scquaint himself
with the evidence in the case and
planned 10 ask for a continuance TO
allow him time 10 fsmilisriEe him
self with the case.
Thomas Nash, attorney for several
of the indicted players, is said TO be
pressing for an immediate hearing
and will insist on a trial Monday or
a dismissal OF the cases.
All Players Ineligible.
This complication puts organized
baseball in the light OF appearing
to seek delay through fear that the
cases against the indicted players
will not hold up in court and that
numerous embarrassing complics-
tions might result through dismis-
sal OF the cases or scquittal OF the
ball players.
Commissioner lands. however.
cut the Gordian knot today. with
one breath. when told Of the pos
sible delay in the prosecution OF the
scandal cases he said:
Il deeply regret the postpone
ment of these cases. However. base
ball is not powerless to protect it,
self. All of the indicted players
have today been placed on the in
eligible list"
Regarding the Benny Ksun case.
Commissioner Lands said that Kauf
went 20 New York with instructions
to wait there until the case now
pending against him in the Gotham
Court was decided. The said case
has to do with the possession Of an
automobile which was reputed TO
have been stolen.

venated team. or the nine which
was nosed out by Western for the
championship last year none has
cinched his position as yet. With
three regulars lost, Russell and the
Newby brothers. many thought that
the Blue and White mentor would
only have to find a trio of capable
players in those positions and start
on the road for the flag, but 1t has
turned out that several newcom-
