The sad intelligence has reached
Clayton of the death of Mrs. Bertha
Seiders White, wife of T. E. White,
at Millersville, Pa. She was a daugh-
ter of Henry Seiders, master carpenter
of the Delaware Railroad. Her hus-
band, too, was a former railroad man
of Clayton and some years ago moved
up in Pennsylvania. Mrs. White had
many friends in Clayton and vicinity
who will be sorry to learn of her
death. She was active in church work
while in Clayton and endeared herself
to young and old. Funeral took place
yesterday at Millersville, Pa.
Charles S. Weller, Sr., formerly of
Clayton, track foreman of the Dover
section of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
received a prize of fifty dollars for
maintaining the best section on the
division dlhing the past year. This is
the fourth time Mr.. Weller has won
this prize. A letter received by Mr..
Weller from 1. B. Sinclair, superinten-
dent of the Delaware Division, con-
tanned the following: "We take plea
sure in awarding you a prize of $50
for maintaining the best line and sur
face during the year 1922 on Super
visor's Division No. SO, and congratu-
late you upon the condition of your
tracks which resulted in your receiv-
ing the prize. We trust that you will
feel encouraged to keep up the good
work during the coming year." Mr.
Weller, who is rounding out twenty
years service with the railroad COM
pany, has been in charge of this Sec
ton for thirteen years. He won his
first prize there in 1911, the second
in 1912, the third in 1915 and the
fourth this year. Prior to going to
Dover Mr. Weller was assistant fore
man at Clayton.

LANDS TO MAKE INVESTIGATION
 OFRUBE BENTON'S BASEBALL RECORD

Chicago, Dec 29-(By the A. P)- Pitcher "Rube" Benton, recently purchas- ed by the Cincinnati Nationals from St Paul, will be barred from baseball If in vestigations reveals he was involved iI the crooked worlds series of 1919, Com missioner Landis announced tonight. Con- missioner Landis Is Investigating reports that Benton won large sum of money betting on \tip that Cincinnati would win the series.
 Benton, who called on the commissioner yesterday to inquire into his status, was told there was nothing in the commits sioner's records at this time to prevent him from playing organized baseball.
 The commissioner, however, had start ed Investigating reports that Benton had knowledge of the fixing of the 1913 worlds series and when informed to- night that President HeyJier, of the Na- tional league had taken steps to bar Ben ton as an undesirable, the commissioner said he would continue his inquiry and probably would have 8 report before the season opens.
 President Johnson, of the American lea que previously had declared Benton would not be permitted to play In his league. He said two players had made affidavit that Benton had told them he had won large sum on the 1919 series having received advance information that tho series had been fixed.
 This information, Benton was alleged
 to have said, was obtained from Bill i Burns and Jean Dubuc. Since then Ben 1 ton has said that he had bet only $20
 on Cincinnati to win. Benton was drop ped by the New York Nationals in 1921
 ostensibly for failure to observe training
 rules. After he joined the St. Paul club Benton pitched winning ball.
 ! Benton previously was involved in g National league controversy when he ac
 cused Buck Herzog, then manager of tho Cincinnati club, of asking him (Benton
 to throw ball games. Herzog denied tht
 charge. After President Heydler conduct
 ed an investigation he was dropped. He.' zog was dissolved from guilt and giveI 1 his unconditional release.

 Both the federation and the athletic research society, which also held its an- nual meeting today, went on record as encouraging the development of womens athletics. The federation provided for es- tablishment of standard physical efficien- cy tests for girls and young women. similar, in modified form to the tests adopted for boys and young men, These tests are based on performances in four elementary ath.et:c>events, 100 yard dash, high and broad jumps, and bar vau1-

POINTS ON WHICH
 GRID COACHES DIFFER

Below are given the points which the football coaches at their meeting in New York Wednesday referred to the rules committee for action. Attempts to again change the rule governing the try after the touchdown and to change the rule on clipping were defeated in the meeting and were not referred to the rules com mittee.
 The recommendations, out of which will come any changes made in the rules for next year are:
 1-The practla of holding conferences before each SC, 1nmage and delaying the game unduly should be stopped and the rules so amended that these delays shall bring penalties of five yards for pur- posely delaying the contest.
 2-The present rule governing the try for point is approved.
 3-The rules committee should clarify the rights of the receiver a punt and caution officials to keep closer watch on roughing and interfering with the re- ceiver.
 4-The rules committee and control board should not have the power to change officials after these have been approved and accepted by the colleges Concerned.
 1.-The penalty for reporting late at the start of the game should be similar to that for reporting late for the second half.
 6-The old rule governing a bounding ball after a kick and the contact with this ball by man offside should be re- turned instead of the new rule, which Is too harsh.
 7-The word motion" should be sub- stituted for momentum" in Rule g, which has to do with shifts.
 S-The officials should have a uni form code of signals to inform the crowd as to the nature of penalty Or score. These signals should be explained with pictures in the rule book.
 9--The rules committee should incor- porate in the rule book series of plates ] showing typical positions of officials in open and close formations 1o-The rules committee should appoin: an official interpreter of the rules to whom all questions could be submitted and whose decisions would be official and 1 final
 1.-The rules committee should go ov- CT the rule governing the onside kick which lacks balance and entails too many hazards.
