HINKY HAYNES
 LEAVES GAME
Brilliant Penn State Star Goes
 Into Business

NEW YORK, July 12.-Hinky Haines, an American star when he was playing college football at Penn State university, has been q failure at pro fessional baseball and now he admits it. Haines has quit the game and re- turned to the cigar store of his father at Red Lion, Pa, where he expects to handle a line of smokes better than he handled hot liners as a member of the New York Yankees.
 Hinky was. with the Louisville club of the American association when he finally decided that he wouldn't make good in the professional game. He ask ed to be sent down to the minors so that he could get in the game every day, after he had warmed the Yankee bench for two years, breaking into the lineup only in great emergencies. His fielding was excellent but he couldn't hit.
 Haines has many athletic trophies won at Penn State. He also qualified for one of the jeweled souvenirs issued to the Yankees for winning last sea- sons world series. But the prize of them all is box score of the last game of the, 1923 world series, which shows that Flames &nocked in the winning run for the Yankees. This was his one moment of greatness in the pro fessional game. "

SOUTHERN WILL
 BE UNCHANGED
Woodward Resolution On Interrupted Game
 Loses Out

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 12.-John D. Martin, president of the Southern association, announced tonight that only one club had voted against the so- called Woodward resolution designed to prevent "stalIing" on the playing field. The one dissenting vote, cast by Nash vile, prevents the rule becoming effec- tive this season, although Mir. Martin stated it would be put into effect next year.
 The resolution, would amend the league constitution, provides that all championship games, which are termi- mated by rain, darkness or other cause before nine legal innings are played in the case of regular games and first games of double headers, and seven legal innings in the case of second games of double-headers shall not be counted as legal games. Such postponed or in- terrupted games, the rule provides. shall be played off as second games of double headers and ''in such playing off of the game shall be commenced at the point where play was left off with the conditions restored existing at the time of the suspension of play"
 Would Prevent Stalling
 Mfr. Martin explained that the Ob- ject of the rule was to prevent play CTS from "stalling" under threatening weather conditions to avoid a legal game when playing conditions make 'stalling" of interest to their club.
 The new rule was proposed by A. H. Woodward, vice president of the Southern association, and principal owner of the Birmingham club, who characterized "stalling" as very bad practice, which is universally indulged in by ball clubs and likewise generally condemned as bad sportsmanship."
