ton on the players.
The commissioner will recommend
that when a player has been sent out
on option twice, the club sending him
cannot acquire him again. This will
prevent conniyance between major and
minor clubs.
The players are to be protected in
their contract rights. An amendment
is proposed TO this effect: "All con.
tracts shall be in duplicate and the
player shall retain a counterpart Of
the original" Heretofore. contracts
have been filed with the club, the pres
ident of the league and the commits
siOner. The player was given moth
ing TO keep indicating the terms Of his
services.
Another amendment is a rule pro-
yiding an ineligible or voluntary re
tired player shall be reinstated before
released unconditionally. 1t has been

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-The
hackers of professional football, a
sport which has been on trial in this
city for the past few weeks and
which has already gained strong
following in other parts of the country,

Can Mr.. Dempsey fight again?
WOULD NOT BE FATAL.

Oh, surely. There's nothing about
a synthetic nose to keep a man from
fighting if he's so minded. 1t wOuldn

nor would it be deadly if he should
be swatted squarely on his shining ex-
ample Of the nose makers art. But
mark this down:
An uppercut would cause him dis
comfort; a right square to the nose
would destroy all his bridge work
and left jab between the eyes would
make that new nose bog in the mid

As for q mere tweak-chances arc
Mr.. Dempsey could stand it with nc

But-and here's the big question.

And unless medical opinion is all
wrong, a lusty smack on the smcller
will cause Mr.. Dempsey's nose TO bog
in the middle and curl at the ends,
like a strip of bacon on an open
fire.
Here, however, is advice for the

the first one-don't wait for a second
shot. And to do that. don't put your
faith in an uppercut or a right hook.
Neither blow is apt to do the bust

CAN'T STAND 1T.

Medical science, cold bloOded and
practical, gives an interesting answer.
Neither the nose of Mr.. Dempsey, nor
any other synthetic proboscis, can
stand up under hGmmering," the med
ical men declare. In the words of
the street, a rebuilt nose is like syn
thetic gin-it's potent enough and does
its work admirably, but it lacks
finesse. Most assuredly. say the med
ical men, a swat on Mr.. Dempsey's
nose would be fatal to Mr.. Dempsey's
new-found beauty.
Mr.. Dempsey is right so far as his
breathing apparatus is concerned, say
the medical experts. No doubt he can
breathe better today than he could
before the artificial bridge was built
across the canon. But when you've

MEXICAN SENATE

Final Action on Alien Measure
Probably Will Wait on
Return of Gales.

MEXICO CITY, November IA
President Gales amended bill for the
enactment of article 27 of the Mexican
foreigners to own land and water prop
critics in Mexico, is now before the
Senate, having been passed by the
Chamber of Deputies. Final action
by the Senate probably will be post
poned. however. until the President re-
turns from visit to Chihuahua.
The Senate, however, is expected to
debate the bill during his absence.
The proposed new Mexican law en-

which has been causing concern and
speculation in Washington. has avoid
ed in phraseology and terms many of
the pitfalls predicted and expected for
it, according to a Mexican embassy
copy of the law as it passed the Cham
Der of Deputies Friday.
The law now arranges that the pro-
vision against foreigners holding
stock in companies owning land in
the prohibited zones along the Mex.
lean border and sea coasts shall be
effected by disposal of the land owned
by such companies within 10 years
instead of by requiring that the stock
holders sell their shares in the com

The law as it now reads applies
only to agricultural lands, and an ad-

TAG DISTRIBUTION
SYSTEM PLANNED
Motorists May Apply for L.
Censes on Certain Days
to Avoid Rush.

Before the 1926 automobile tags go
on sale in December the Commission
ers may announce a plan to distrib-
ute the crowd evenly throughout the
month by appealing TO motorists to
call at the District Building on GER
tain days, according to the number
of their 1925 tags.
The plan is for example, to urge
those who had numbers under 5000
this year to call the first day and to
designate a certain block of numbers
20 be handled each succeeding day.
One Commissioner emphasized to-
day that if this appeal should be
made it would not mean that motor
lists would get the same number tag
they had this year, but would be
merely a means of spreading the task
of issuing tags evenly over the month
instead of having a rush on certain
days.
Application blanks have been made
out for all cars that obtained 1925
tags and these cards have been filed
according to tag number. \ motorist
therefore will simply state TO the
clerk what his 1925 number was to
get the new blank.
1t will be necessary, however, for
applicants to know, when they call for
tags, what type of headlight is on the
car, as this information must be add
ed to the records this year. Traffic
Director Eldridge stated a few days
ago that the name of the headlight
is stamped either on the lens or the
reflector and the list of approved
types is printed in the traffic regu-
