Task Made Easier.

The Yankees on their batting alone
would have had a tough time of II, but
the poor fielding OF the Texas Leaguers
softened the task OF the New Workers
greatly. The former threw poorly and
the Yanks by clever base running made
the most of opportunities. Chick Few
ster even went SO far as to try TO
steal home. He was called out. though
he did not think he was touched. Maybe
not. but George MoriarIty umpired ad
mirably.
Twice Ruth stood still at the plate
and let Il curve ball break around his
knees and strike him out
Pecknpaugh was In uniform practis-

Special Despatch TO THE NEW York HERALD.
SHREVEPORT, La, March 12.-The
Yankees beat the Shreveport Texas
Leaguers, to 3, this afternoon in the
first exhibition game of the year for
both clubs. The best points of the
game, which were few, were the attend
ance. the weather and the Yankee pitch
ing. Both Piercey and Ferguson pitched
well and as was expected of them. and
the Yankee defence was adequate all
the way.
The Yankees won, but Babe Ruth was
no heroic figure in the victory The
game showed conclusively that the
Babe's batting eye is not attuned to
pitching when the pitchers are trying
to get him and are putting something on
the ball The Yankee slugger has been
slamming the ball over the fence here
every few minutes at bat against pitch
ers OF his own team who were chiefly
putting the ball up to him to be hit.
To-day. however. the pitchers really
pitched. they slowballed the Babe, used
curves, change of pace and worked on
him to the best of their ability and craft
Ruth struck out three times and hit two
weak ones which resulted in outs He
took the guying hurled at him good
naturedly. His failure to bust a few
fences caused no concern in the Yankee
ranks. for the Babe needed just that
sort of pitching and not the soft kind
he has been getting in practice.
The New York herald., 1921-03-13
Fast Work Around Second.

Fewster and Mitchell made a splendid
team around second base. Their fielding
was fast and finished. The Yanks bat
ted scatteringly and. like Ruth, need
practice against real twirling. but Bodie,
Wingo, Ward and Hofmann hit cleanly
Bodie and Ward haven't had much prac-
tice either. Hofmann left the game with
an injured arm. A thrown ball struck
him while ne was running the bases
1t was not severe injury and while
he was in the game the Yankee catcher
did fine all around work He was a
lively participant in a game which for
the most part was slow and uninter-
esting
The real tiptopper OF the engagement
was BIZ Piercey. the coast pitcher lie
began poorly with a fit OF wildness,
but Hofmann soon had him stead ed
and although his control was erTatic
he did we'll every time men were or

A. Regards "CIipping.-

The committee made itself perfectly
clear as to its attitude on the question
of Clipping" or cutting down a runner
from behind They declared that an
opponent did not necessarily have to
cut down a player from hehind to COM
nit foul, that running into or diving
or throwing ones self into n player
vas quite sufficient 70 earn a penalty
provided. however that the man SO in
terfercd with Is obviously out of the
play in the opinion Of the official. They
could see no reason why man wnt
was clearly a part OF the play should
not he attacked in tho manner expressed
Cor the foundation of tho game Is 70 stop
the runner cir tho man protecting him.
The point Is that while the runner or
his interferers arc prepared for tackle,
player well ont of the rnngle Is not
IN his guard. Tho committees desire
Is 20 protect that player from sudden
and unexpected clipping" The PEN

rho committee expressed itself as be-

ny SAMUEL J. BROoKMAN.

In the belief that the time was not
the forward pass. the football rules
committee in session at the Biltmore
Hotel yesterday decided to do very
little tampering with the code that
appears to have given general salts
faction. As group they made one
admission, however. They agreed that
the day was not far distant when, with
the intensive development the open
game has been and will be experience
ing, some curb will have to be placed
on the use of the pass just as a check
had to be found for intensive line
plunging when mass play threatened
the very life of the game years ago.
That the forward pass has not over
reached itself as yet was their firm
conviction, however. and so the bridge
will not be crossed until 1t is reached.
Not one OF the numerous suggestions
for rule amendments was left unds-
cussed. the committee being in session
from p. NJ. Friday to 80 the next
morning, and then three or four hours
more after breakfast. but only several
changes of decidedly minor character
were voted into the rules. Perhaps the
most important was the amendment that
after a safety is scored the ball be put
in play on the 80 yard line instead of
the 20 as heretofore. The decision was
sort of compromise, some football
coaches and officials having declared
themselves in favor OF no change. while
others had asked that the ball be brought
back to the 40 yard line for Il kickoff,
just as is done after touchdown BY
bringing the ball back ten additional
yards the committee has given the team
against which safety is scored better
| chance of advancing out of the danger
zone.

Wrong to Nullify Score.
Next In Importance was the decision
that foul committed on any part OF
the field after q touchdown Is made or
field goal kicked shall not in any case
nullify the score. provided the official is
certain that the bal. has crossed the goal
line before the rule is violated, This
point has given officials at football
games considerable worry in the past. as
II was not covered clearly In the rules.
The committee saw no good reason why
a team should lose a well earned score
just because one of Its members after
the ball had crossed the goal line either
because of overexcitement or some other
reason roughed an opponent unneces-
sarlly. 1t Is not TO be understood. how
ever, that the infraction of the rule is to
go unpublished. The penalty of fifteen
yards is to be exacted the same as ever.
but in the next play Thus, when the
teams take their positions again after a
touchdown or field goal the side that has
scored will have to kick off from It's own
% yard line instead OF It's 40 yard mark,
which will give the rival eleven an
advantage of fifteen yards to begin
with.
A majority oil the otner rule changes
adopted were little more than interpreta.
tlons, grammatical corrections or in
sertions of omissions. One important
point is covered by a new rule that a
tall is not to be declared dead IL II
strikes an official Play is to go on
rc matter how much one side or the
other may have proflted by the accident.
After a score, II the captain Of the team
announces that well kick off" or we

irrevocable This is to prevent a captain
from altering his decision as the result

Hereafter. also. the referee, instead of
the home captain, shall toss the coin for
the choice Of goals at the start of a
game. Pushing an opponent into the
tall will not put the others on side
Unless said player touches the ball with

the case when on a kick down the

1900 Excited Fans.

While the Jam was In progress the
1900 persons present were like so many
maniacs. Every one of the thousands
was on his feet cheering like a madman.
When the final lap had been covered
there We're only few present who We're
not hoarse, from cheering.
That Rutt and Lorenz were Tapped
was due in great part to bone play
by Rutt, He failed to relieve Lorenz
at the right time and lost half lap OF
ground. This Lorenz tried desperately
10 make up. He was not equal to the
!, task. Losing the first lap seemed TO
upset them and the other two teams
had little difficulty in passing them
tvrice more.
Brocco started the JAM He sped
down the Madison avenue embankment
at terrific squirt after the tenth Off
cial squirt and quickly gained a quarter
Of a lap on his opponent. Coburn came
out again and gained another fifty
yards on Van Kempen. To the crowd
It seemed as II the plucky italian and
his partner would lap the field. but Egg
came out on the track and by some OF
the best riding of the week gradually
moved down the leaders. He brought
Lorenz along with him. but in the pick
up that. followed Rutt was not ready
and Egg and Brocco went on by them
selves and by alternating as pacemakers
gained the coveted lap.
During the week the leading team
travelled 2,3l6 miles and laps.
The race was one of the most sue
cessfu ever held in the Garden. More
than 10000 persons saw some part Of
the contest and Ii was estimated that
more than s145.00o was paid in admis-
slons.
The first of the officiat spr-.ats went
70 Oscar Egg. with Lorenz second and
Brocco third. The were the only con-
testants. for at 10 o'clock the other
teams were withdrawn because they
were lap behind. Egg went TO the
front at the start, but he didn't make a
wild race of 1t. He jockeyed along
length in front OF his opponents until
the final lap. Then he put on full steam
ahead and remained length in front TO
the end.
Van Kempen took the second in n
much liveler squirt. He followed Rutt
until the bell lap and then went around
him to win by half a length. Rutt took
second points and Brocco third.
Egg made 1t three in a row for his
team by taking the third in sensational
style. He was two lengths behind Lorenz
lap from home. but by a terrific squirt
went around the leader and won by two
lengths. Coburn was second and Ru;t
third.
