 MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 26-The second game of today's double-header between Atlanta and New Orleans, which was called in the sixth inning, will go into the record of the Southern association as mo game" under an in- depreciation of the new Woodward anti-stalling rule made public here to- night by John D. Martin, president of the-league.
 Since no other contests between the two teams are scheduled to be played in Atlanta, the game cannot be finished, according to Mir. Martin. He inter preted the new rule as meaing that play-offs of postponed games can be held only in the city where the game was started.
 Mfr. Martins interpretation of the Woodward resolution was contained in a lengthy letter which he addressed tonight to all club presidents and man agers, official scorers and umpires of the associations In his letter the president called attention to the many questions asked regarding the new rule, and added that it would seem i'm portant for me to issue this bulletin construing the rule"
 st The ExpIanatiOn
 After repeating the test of the Wood ward resolution, Mir, Martin declared that first of all, this rule means. of course, that no game except the second game of double-headers shall be legal and counted in the averages and records of the league unless nine legal innings of baseball are played"
 It is. merely necessary. he continued, that seven legal innings be played in the case of second games of double headers, provided the opposing clubs agree to seven innings prior to the commencement of play.
 Shall Be Resumed
 ."'In the event tha tthe game is ter minated prior to nine legal innings by rain, darkness, or other cause" MT. Martin stated, s.play shall be resumed at the point where left off. with the con- ditions as to score, position of runners, balls and strikes restored. The play off of the suspended game shall be had following the next regularly scheduled game between the same two clubs in the same city. If double-header is scheduled for the following day, then the play off of the suspended game shall ensue on the next available date in the same city between the two clubs. By the phrase with the. condi- tiOns at the time of suspension of play is meant, of course, the conditions as tO the score, position of base runners, balls and strikes, and as far as prac- ticable the. other playing conditions. It will be immediately seen that it would be impossible to restore the exact

condition except as above stated, be- cause in the play+off it would be pos sible that some player in the original lineup would not be available for use. All of the same players might not even be with the club. The batting order in the play-of of the suspended game will, of course, be determined by the order in which the playing positions batted in with the original lineup.
 May Change Pitchers
 Mir. Martin said he did not construe the rule to mean that it is necessary for the same pitcher to resume his po- sition in the event of disability or if he had left the club.
 'The official scorer, is, of course, the final judge as to what were the playing conditions existing at the time play was suspended" he continued, and the umpires will act upon the report of the official scorer in this particular"
 A different team of umpires may officiate in the playoff of suspended games, the president ruled.
 'In the event that during the latter portion of the playing season there should be no opportunity to complete the play-off of the suspended game" the letter continued, '.it must neces- sarily follow that the suspended game will not be official and will stand in the position of other games lost from the schedule under the rules existing prior to the adoption of the Woodward resolution
 Rain Checks Good
 The status of rain checks will remain unchanged, Mir. Martin said.
 In conclusion, the league president said that a number of nice question of interpretation" might arise under the new rule, adding that all such questions will be determined upon the merits of good sportsmanship and fair play"

SMALLER HOME TREND

Dimensions of Paintings of Mas

Sales to Modern Fanciers.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 2s.-The tendency
among well to do people to forsake
smaller residences has brought about
a striking change in the demand for
paintings of the old masters. This
has been noticeable during the past
months at public auctions.
1t appears that the day of the big
canvas is past, people picking up
small paintings more suitable for
smaller houses or flats. In fact, they
have been buying by the square inch
where their forefathers bought by
the square yard to fill the huge walls
of rooms in big country mansions
At recent sale of the Duke OF
Westminster's pictures, several big
Rubens were sent home because the
experts and dealers refused to make
a bid for these white elephants. At
sale of the Princess Royals pic
square got bid of only shillings
per foot, while a Valquez brought
only guineas.
Other paintings of anything less
than feet sold readily. For
Reynolds Portrait Of Lady" 300
Euineas was paid; for Raeburn's
PORTRAIT of Miss Reid" $500 guineas
was paid, while $500 guineas was
paid for a small panel by Quintin
Matsys.
Many other small pictures sold for
between 1000 apd $500 guineas. The
latter price was paid for another

Coke" The Princess Royal pictures

Science

One Of the great sensations Of the
world war was the German cannon
that bombarded Paris from a dis
lance Of about fifty miles. The
damage this gun did was not great,
but it's effect upon the morale of the
people was considerable.
After the war. the construction Of
this gun. although it had been
rendered useless, was carefully
studied by the enemies of Germany.
Since then each country has been
trying to make guns that would out
shoot this famous German cannon,
which was made by the Krupp
factory.
The best has been built by the
United States. 1t hurls a 1850
pound projectile twenty three miles.
This is not as far as the German
cannon would carry, but the Ameri-
can gun shoots much larger shells.
The German gun was fixed, but the
American cannon can be mounted
on railway carriages. This mobility
makes it far more deadly for prac-
teal military purpose. When fired
it is generally elevated at an angle
Of sc degrees. Despite tne fact that
it appears to be merely pointing at
the sky, great accuracy Is possible
in its aim. 1t is expected to be very
important in coast defense.
