 The month has been an active one for ,Hsuan Tung November z, he was forced to leave the imperial palace in the forbidden city, home of the Manehu royal lines since its downfall in the revolution of 1911. The order to de- part came from Feng Yuh Slang, the Christian general" then in power in Peking. Hsuan took up his abode in the home of the former regent, Prince Chun.
 The turning out of the "boy emperor" and his family aroused much cement and Taun Ch'l-Jau, now acting head of the defacto government at Picking, warned General Feng that the treasures of the imperial palace must not be dis turbed.

The first real indication of the com ing of king baseball in Birmingham amateur circles will be in evidence Tuesday night when the managers of last years city league teams and rep resentatives of prospective new mem- bers of the city league will meet in the council room of the city hall. The meeting is called for 8 o'clock and will be the first meeting of local city league moguls..
 Expectations are that amateur base ball this year in Birmingham will at tain it's highest plane. For the first time in the history of the game here the officials of the league have inter ested city park officials in the prob lem of providing playing ground for the local clubs. President James F. Harrison of the city league, and his staff of assistants have drafted prob able sites for 19 baseball diamonds over various parts of the city.
 Officials Conduct Tour
 These sites were compiled in the form of a folder and submitted to the city park board. The result was that during the latter part of last week President Harrison, Vice President Redburn of the city league, and Messrs. Thurston, Bowen, Superintend- ent Williamson, Carnell and Polk of the park board, conducted tour of the city and looked over many of the sites.
 For a good many years the local city league officials have striven to

FRENCH CHEER
 GERMAN RIDER

PARIS, March 23.-(By Associated Press.)-Karl wittig, the first German bicycle rider to appear at the Paris velodrome since the World war, was given a cordial reception by the Paris public today. He was nervous as he took the track, fearing a hostile dem- onstration. The crowd, however, warmed up to him as, unmindful of several mishaps to his motor pace, he pluckily continued riding and went aft CT the leaders with a great show of courage. He was loudly cheered when he finished third in field of six after appearing hopelessly beaten.
 The spectators then shattered tradi- tion by calling upon Wittig to do an extra lap flor honor" something gen. orally reserved for victors so that they might receive the plaudits of the crowd. Wittig obliged amid a most friendly at- mosphere. He was presented with a bouquet just before returning to his deciding round.
 The race was won by Paul Suter of Switzerland, who rode 69 kilometers; 980 meters in an hour.

The tie was not played off, as Kirkwood, nationally known trick shot artist, former cham pion of Australia and participant in many national championship matches, was scheduled to give few exhibitions of fancy driving. The golf club wizard startled the large gallery of enthusiasts who followed him faithfully over the course in the cold downpour by mak- pie shots, such as driving the ball from off his watch crystal, off a mans shoe tip, and such like, demonstrated the accurate eye of the famous golfer.

terical appreciation of a master ef- fort. ac
 Shares Another Record
 Ray has a share in Auother record which will come up before the I. A. A. F. in July for ratification as a worlds best mark, the four-mile outdoor relay record of 1T minutes 21 2-5 seconds set up by the Illinois A. c. team of Krogh, Buker. Watson and Ray in Chicago on June 23, 1923.
 The Chicago flier also holds three American indoor records-1, ,000-yard run in ? minutes 13 2-5 seconds, shared with H. c. Cutbill; one mile in minutes IA 3-5 seconds, and 5000 meters in 8 minutes 31 1-5 seconds.
 In addition, Ray also is credited with four more American indoor records which, because the distances are not standard, are listed by the A. A. U. as American Noteworthy Performances .' The fact remains, however, that Ray ran these distances indoors faster than any other man in American athletics These performances include 1K miles in minutes 33 3-5 seconds, IF miles in s minutes 41 4-5 seconds, 1% miles in ' minutes 59 4-5 seconds and 1M miles in minutes 34 3-5 seconds.
 In spite of the fact that he has never been as brilliant on the cinder path as he has been indoors, Ray was counted on as one of the point scorers in the last Olympic games at Ant werp, but leg trouble developed and Ray made a poor showing.
 Hopes To Redeem Himself
 He hopes to redeem himself at Paris where one of the classical struggles of all time should develop when Ray and Paavo Nurmi, the Finn, who is credited with having created a new worlds rec ord for the mile, meet in the 1,50O- meter race. Nurmf may beat Ray on the cinder path, but the odds are bet ter than even that "Chesty Joie" will force the Finn to a new worlds mark before admitting defeat.

Stribling Will Kayo
 Mike To Win
New York Writer Comments On Coming Scrap In
 Newark. N. l.

NEWARK. N. J., March 2s.-Young Stribling, Macon, Ga., school boy boxer, who is to meet Mike McTigue, light heavyweight champion, in return bout in the New York armory March 31, has arrived. "Pa" Stribling, father-man- ager; Mrs. Stribling and two sparring partners are with him.
 NEW YORK, March 2S.-Far re- moved from the influence of Young Mike McTigue, light-heavyweight champion of the world, will greet MT. Stribling again on the evening of March 31 at the Newark armory in a 12-round fight to no decision. Me Tigue only need remain on his feet to retain the championship, which is another way of stating that the juve- nile Georgian must knock him cold or win by a foul to win at all.
 This will be one of the last big bouts of the indoor season in the New York district and also one of the very few important scraps of the winter, season in which most of the cham pions have held their titles safe by refusing to risk them at all
 Stribling, whose home was in Macon, Ga., until few months ago, enticed McTigue to Columbus, Ga., one nice day last year for a 10-round bout. Harry Ertle of Jersey City, who off, ciated in the great Dempsey Carpen- tier spectacle, was imported to referee. The enterprise seemed safe enough to McTigue until he began to hear vague intimations that the townspeople of Columbus were addicted to the habit of lynching strangers who displeased them. He was allowed to understand, that one of the displeasing things he could do would be to defeat Young Stribling. The fight was not very in- teresting except to McTigue who thought of lynching every time his back grazed the ropes. Ertle, in an effort to please everybody, gave a va riety of decisions but when he got back to Jersey City and regained his breath after the long run from Co., lumbus, he said he had called the match a draw.
 Stribling has been pining for Nc Tigue ever since. His reputation was somewhat scuffed recently and his features suffered similarly in a bout with boy named Slats Slattery who almost knocked him out. However. Stribling and the Jersey promoters have ignored that and he is billed as the one true challenger of the cham pion for the purposes of this pro- motion.

thought that was funny. Maybe Lynch was weak. But maybe it was only trick. Well, ned try it again, only he'd be very careful. Again he clouted Lynch with a right to the chin and Joe flopped along the ropes. That was the. tip-off to Abey Gold stein. Lynch was all through or he would have come back walloping aft CT that.
 If Abey doesn't earn $1OO,00O at least before losing the championship he's terrible business man. With any luck at all, he should make twice that. Lynch's earnings are rather vague but $175,000 Is not an exaggera- ton, and he Is only 2s.

claiming the penalty for Illegal inter ference for the player"
 No rule changes resulted from ex- tended discussion of shift plays, but regulations were clarified to place the burden of proof upon the attacking team instead of the officials. .,
 Other changes involved definition of the screen pass" to eliminate what rulemakers described as passive inter ference;" investing the referee with authority to curb deliberate delays in play and the umpire with power to de- eide whether eleats or other parts of equipment were unnecessarily danger ous.
 To avoid confusion over the expira- tion of time, the committee recom- mended that timers fire a gun to notify the referee of the end of 8 period. Actual play would not stop, however, until the referee blew his whistle. To eliminate further chance of confusion 1t was decided that no official than the referee carry a whistle.
 Edward K. Hall, Dartmouth; chair man, and Walter Camp, Yale, secretary, were reelected. Other members of the committee present included H. J. Stege- man, Georgia.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 2s.-- The Philadelphia American league base ball club, in training here, met defeat In the first real training game today when the Baltimore Orioles of the In- ternational league. champions of their circuit for five consecutive years, journeyed over from Columbus, Ga, and took the measure of the As by count of 8 to 3.

Nasty, while credited with one playing error. yet showed the greater amount of finesse of the moundmen when he retired the Orioles in order in the second inning on strike- outs.
 Centerfielder Jacobson stood between Connie Mack's Athletes and victory. His sensational catches on three occa- sions plotted out any and all chances from rallies which might have brought the downfall of MT. Dunn's champions. On three occasions he snatched in hot ones from the bat of Sammy Hale., He also climbed the hill in deep center once and stabbed, with one hand, a. torrid drive by Paul Strand, Mack's Salt Lake City fence demolisher. In all, he had eight putouts to his credit, better than the first baseman did.
 Galloway, shortstops for the Mack men, also electrified the 1,5O0 fans by going far out and grabbing a hot groundcr and. with lightning throw, got his man at first base, Chick poled out half of the hits made by the Macks-three.

 The Orioles will return to Montgom- cry on next Saturday and Sunday.

4 Changes
 In Football
 Rules Made
Artificial Tees Abolished And Kickoff Advanced
 To Center Of Field.

NEW YORK, March 2z.-(By Asso- ciated Press.)-Four radical changes in the football playing code, all intend cd to speed up the game and increase it's versatility, were adopted today by the national intercollegiate football rules committee at its annual meeting tee. L.
 The abolition of all mud or artifi- cial kicking tees, the advancement of the kickoff from the 40-yard line to the center of the field, an increase from two to five yards of the penalty for excess time out and decision to try for point after touchdowns from the three instead of the five-yard line were the most important measures approved. A number of others were made to clarify rules often misinterpreted.
 Flying Tackle Unchanged
 Despite a recommendation by the Coaches association that the rule against the flying tackle be abolished on the ground that 1t is admittedly sell dom enforced, the committee, after a lengthy debate, decided not to do so.
 It was understood members felt that if bars were let down in this respect it might encourage rougher play.
 The elimination Of all kicking tees was adopted to place a greater pre- mium on, this feature, while the ad, vancement of the kickoff from the 4O- yard line to the center of the field was described as natural conseQuence of the former rule. Keeling" the ground to make groove for the ball on the kickoff or place kick will be permitted under the new rule.
 In an endeavor 10 discourage delays the rule permitting three times out" during a half with a tMo-yard pen- alty for each one in excess was changed so that team will be allowed four time outs" with a five-yard penalty for each period over that number.
 The rule change which allows a team to put the ball in play from the three instead of the five-yard line lon the try for point after touchdown will in the opinion of the committee, tend to make this play more versatile. As under the present code, however, the captain of the attacking team may elect to put the ball in play on any line back of the three-yard mark.
 Suggestion PigeOn-Holed
 A more radical change than the one adopted in connection with the try for point was advocated, but pigeon-holed for year to test whether the new rule would accomplish the object, to put more premiums on the use of a for. ward pass or line play than on a drou or place kick. Proponents of inc ia. bled plan would give two points for 2 goal from forward pass or run. and only one extra point for a goal from kick. It was indicated that this prob. ably be adopted in 1925 if the chanps enacted does not secure the remedy de. sired.
 The rule to guard against interfer- ence with the forward pass by an in. eligible player on the offending team was clarified to read: "If an ineliSibIe man on the attacking team touches a it from being int1rcepted, but if ia ra. covered by the defense before it touches the ground the player catching the bal may run with it and retain whatever ground he may have gained instead oi
