NeOSies Treated Rough
in Their OlUn League

They call it the Newspaper League
but the three newspaper clubs enter
ed in the race were the only ones
to taste defeat yesterday along with
j. f. Rhoads and Sons.
The Evening Journal in their bat
tie with the strong combination of
Elks put up the best game Of the day.
by far. Only two actual miscues
were registered, both by Journal
men and both on easy chances. They
did not figure in the run getting.
Joe Osowski and his famous
moonshine ball hooked up with Jack
Bunting in a pitchers duel that
would have been a credit to the big
show. Neither had a decided ad-
vantage in the box Joe drove in
the Journals lone tally with a slash
ing single over short.
Marty Malloy, Tot Hopewell and
Spig Delikat were on the hop all the
way through and gave a clever exhi-
bition OF the national pastime. but il
took "Hennie" Larosch to show 'em
that "he may be an old man but he's
got young baseball ideas" Hen
ME" was death on ground balls and
killed five chances in fine style. His
one boot was an easy fly which he
juggled and then dropped.
Kinsler Of the Elks, pulled the
fielding feature when he robbed
George Swayne Of double with a
fine running catch in left center.
Jimmie Chandler and Irv Wratten
we're other leading lights for the
antlered crew.
The Morning News dropped a
close, but poorly-played game to the
Alec boys, to 6, at Eden Park No.
3. Alec, by the timely use OF their
bats and a rally in the sixth when
the whole News team went to pieces,
overcame the slight lead the News
had secured and romped off the field
with flying colors. The playing OF
Brand in center and McCafferty be-
hind the bat featured for Alec.
Brand pulled some good catches OF
line drives.
Kiwanis came into its own when
they trimmed the Sunday Star to
the tune OF to 1 at Eden No. 1.
George Winters was in best shape,
and dazzled Bill Stewards crowd.
The Bankers and Brokers had lit
tie trouble in taking a fall out OF
Rhoads Company, 13 to z. at Rock
ford Tower. The clubs played in
their first game yesterday, entering
the league last Monday.
All four games attracted large at
tendances. The umpiring at all
grounds was highly satisfactory.

GRID RULES HAVE
@. X. OF NAVY

ANNAPOLIS. Md. - Commando
W. A Richardson OF the United
States Naval Academy is satisfied
with the football rules
Leave the football rules alone. =
says Richardson.
The only need for change, and
that not an immediate one, is in the
rules regulating the forward pass.
The pass is in its early develop
ment. As its scope widens IL may be
necessary to regulate play properly.
II think the talk about keeping a
coach OF the bonch away from hi:
players during a game is wrong.
"A football coach can do no harm
on the bench.
The coach OF any team playinl
against the navy can do all tn
coaching he wants to along the side
line.
Wen even permit him to use 4
megaphone if he wishes.
''The sideline perspective is the
bunk.
"A man can't run a football ma.
chine from the sideline.
Generating a team on the grid.
iron is up TO the quarterback.
III a coach can't turn the game
over TO his quarterback, then he has
no team.
'As for running the game by plays
instead 4 by periods. that would
change the whole system OF play.
Such a change has points in its
favor, but 1t would make the gam,
drag and detract from the interest.
''The only changes in football rule
needed right now are restrictions OF
coaches who are always protestins
the officials OF the game.
These officials are picked by
central board and the game shouli
be in their hands.
1T is poor sportsmanship on tn
part OF coaches to complain"

ZEECFELD DOG HOME
AND PATRICIA,S HAPPY
Rep Finds Himself and All Is
ForSiven.

Rep Is back, and Patricia, little daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Florenz Ziegfeld.
Jr.. was able to show her parents yes
terday that there are such things as
smiles In the world again--in fact. the
world seemed to burst with them. Rep.
who was Patricia's guide. philosopher
and friend on the Ziegfeld estate at
Hastings on Hudson, had been gone for
three days, and Patricia could hardly see
that life was worth living.
Her father offered q reward for this
Belgian police dog OF fine breed, but the
horizon remained empty for Patricia.
Then yesterday morning Rep returned OF
his own volition, perhaps to claim the
reward. The fact that 1t was around
breakfast time may have had something
to do with his return. Rep was limping
on one hind leg. and II was hard to tell
whether he had been struck by an auto
mobile or some other dog had engaged in
fight with him with the idea, as they
say in boxing circles. of getting a rep.
: He first appeared at the home Of the
superintendent of the estate, and the lat
ter Immediately -collared the huge canine,
as he showed signs Of letting the wander
lust master him again. Rep was taken
before Patricia looking rather sheepish,
but with a shrek Of delight she threw
herself on his neck and forgave him
everything.
For tine. rest OF the day there was no
question as to who held the position Of
honor around the Ziegfeld household
Miss Patricia gave injunctions before re-
firing that he was not to be allowed to
escape again, and the servants gave
their word to prevent It with their lives
IL possible, for they have no desire to re-
peat their efforts at securing the coun.
tryside. as they did lately.

Dies in Capital
of Heart Trouble
Was State superintendent of
Public Works Under
Whitman.

The death of Major-Gen. William
Wallace Wotherspoon. State Superinten-
dent of Public Works under Gov. Whit
man and a former chief OF staff and
president of the war college. was re-
ported In a despatch from Washington
last night He died at his home, fol-
lowing a heart attack.
Major-Gen. Wotherspoon was II years
old. He was retired from active service
In November, 1914. after q career in
which he won high distinction for his
services In the Indian wars, In the
Cuban pacification and In the Philip
pines. as well as for his administration
OF the post of chief of staff. In which he
succeeded Leonard Wood.
He was regarded as one Of the leaders
among the progressive element In the
army. In the sense that he was one of
those who believed the army should
train large reserve and not content
itself with bein g simply school In
which officers are trained to handle
larger armies In time OF war. He,
among others, originated the post-gradu-
ate courses at Fort Leavenworth and In
the Army War College on the theory
that an officers education doesn't end
with West Point. He was president Of
the War College from 1910 to 1912.
Maj.-Gen. Wotherspoon first entered
the navy, later transferring to the army.
He is survived by his widow and one
