VALLEY BASEBALL
MANAGERS TOMEET
THURSDAY EVENING

Valley baseball managers win meet
at the Chamber of Commerce next
Thursday evening to organize the
Central Arizona Baseball Managers
association and to perfect plans for
the 1922 baseball season. 1t has been
definitely decided to open the season
Sunday, April 2 under rules TO be
adopted at Thursdays meeting.
Representatives from the mining
camps win be present at the meeting
to take UP the proposition of a Six
Team league, including Globe. Miami.
Mesa, Phoenix, Ray and Superior. II
the managers are unable to agree on
the league plan valley games prob
ably will be arranged this summer
through the Phoenix Booking Office.
"Pidge" Pinney will call the meeting
to order and every manager will be
given voice and a vote ON the prop
osition submitted. If the Six Team
league plan is accepted the Phoenix
teams will consolidate to put the best
team possible in the league. Local
managers are agreeable to the plan
if they are convinced that the mining
camps will support league teams.
Heretofore the mining districts have
supported fast clubs with good at
tendance but the transportation will
be an increased expense in the league.
The Miami Superior highway will be
opened the latter part of the month
reducing the cost of travel con-
siderable.
Unless the league plan is adopted
the managers will continue the book
ing office system which proved quite
successful last season. The mining
camps will also work through the
booking office and games can be
scheduled at regular intervals. Pin
ney says the Booking Office is open
to any suggestions from the managers
or fans in order to provide the high
class baseball for the fans and re-
ward the players for their efforts.
Its up to the baseball managers to
decide what plan will be accepted and
every manager interested in summer
baseball is urged to attend or have
a representative at Thursdays meet
ing in the Chamber of Commerce
office, Second avenue and Adams
street. The meeting viii be called to
order at 1880 D. m.

PARIS ARGUMENT
MAY BRING 1924
OLYMPIC CANES
TO Los ANGELES

PARIS. Mar. 1e The Olympic
games for 1924 again have become
subject OF controversy and many
friends Of athletics fear they may
not be held in France owing TO the
city Of Paris voting only one million
francs, instead Of the promised ten
million and the municipal councils
insistence that the games be held in
Pershing stadium, to which the
Olympic committee absolutely re-
fuses to consent on the ground that
1t is an inadequate field for such
sports. The French Olympic com
mittee favored the Pare des Princes.
near the Bois de Boulogne. Los An
geles is being considered by athletes
as a likely place to hold the games
should they not be held in France.
Before the councils vote of yes
terday, M. Autrand. prefect OF the
department of the Seine. read a LETT
ter from Count Clary. president OF
the French Olympic executive com
mittee. stating explicitly that unless
the Pare des Princes site were per-
mitted. the committee would with
draw entirely leaving the 1924 games
in the hands OF the international
olympic committee.
After the meeting Count Clary de-
clared he would follow out the decla-
ra ton in his letter.
The city's appropriation Of one
million francs. which was approved
by a vote of 80 to z. came as a dis
appointment to French sportSmen.
The small appropriation is attrlb-
uted to the citys unfavorable III
nancial position, but one OF the coun-
cillors remarked that inasmuch az
10 million francs never had been
voted for men OF science. there
seemed to be no reason why that
amount should be voted for athletes.
The leaders OF the Olympic COM
mittee fear the effect OF the prin-
cipality's action upon parliament in
which a bill for the appropriation CT
20 million francs for the purpose Of
.he games has not yet been passed.
bat merely deposited on the speak
er's desk, and some OF the members
may take the stand that parliament

Should there be failure TO appro-
pirate a sufficient amount. there is
danger that the games will be held
outside Of France.

NEW YORK, Mar 12.--Abolition or
the free trial for goal after touch
down, substitution therefor Of a play
from line of scrimmage on or back
of the five-yard line of a defending
eleven, and clarifying changes in the
rules regarding shift plays clipping
from behind and substitutions were
announced yesterday by the inter-
collegiate football rules committee
The action OF the committee in
abolishing the trial for goal after
touchdown, the most radical step
taken since the Introduction OF the
forward pass in 1906, had been rec
commended by the Association of
American Football Coaches following
it's meeting here last December.
The revision had been demanded
by majority of football experts for
years, and since the abolition two
years ago Of the spunt-out, many Of
the leading coaches took up the cam
paign for abandonment OF the play,
declaring IL useless as il stood and
harmful to the game. II was under
stood that w. w. Roper, Princeton
coach. suggested the play for the
point from line of scrimmage.
In regard the change in the shift
ruling, the opinion of some football
men was that it would tend to put a
damper on the playing style of some
of the leading Western college
elevens, especially that OF Notre
Dame, whose weird shifts have puZ-
zled opposing teams for several years.
The initial kickoff regulation was
altered so that II the side winning
the toss selects the goal. the other
team has the choice OF either kicking
of receiving. Heretofore when one
captain elected to defend a goal, tire
other side was obliged to kick off
The darkness rule was altered to
allow the referee with the consent
OF both captains, TO decide between
halves to shorten the fourth period
or both periods in the second half.
Heretofore a shortening Of the time
previously agreed upon could be
made only before the game began.
Rules governing substitutions were
changed so that a player cannot re-
turn TO the field in the same half in
which he is removed 1t is not nee
essary that he should return at the
beginning OF a period.
The zone man in motion" regula-
ton was rewritten so that any play
err leaving the scrimmage line before
play begins must be at least five
yards behind the line when the ball is
snapped.
Among the rulings approved by the
committee was one that officials
should whistle as soon as convinced
that the ball had crossed the goal inc.
