adhered to their edict of yesterday:
'Stay right here until you're entirely

Ruth still hopes that he will be
able to play in the opening game of

Yankee Stadium.
Mrs. Ruth says he shall not play,
the physicians think he cannot play,
and Edward G.. Barrow. the Yankees
business manager, asserts he will not
play-unless he has fully recovered.

The rulemakers were confronted with
the task of satisfying all sections of the
country in regard to the rule changes.
The previous rules had been modified by
the Western Conference and the game
changed to suit conveniences in that
section of the country. The Eastern In
tercollegiate League also had taken
some liberty with the playing code. with
the result that when East met West the
contending teams interpreted the rules
differently, which confused the officials.
The rule which aboliShes the placing
of the hand behind the back was modi
fed SO that the same result is obtained.
The lawmakers inserted a clause in this
rule which reads: ANY use of the hand
not used in tapping the ball, shall be
construed as a personal foul" The COM
mittee found that the Western Confer
ence had completely abolished the for
mer rule without substituting another
for it The Eastern intercollegiate
League also had modified the rule.
The rule abolishing the zones was
supplemented by a rule which reads:
When a player Is fouled in the act of
shooting for a goal in any part Of the
floor, two free throws shall be awarded
to the player fouled." The Judgment of
the referee in regard TO an fnfraction of
this rule shall be supreme, the rule
iudhtEo QtCTe6u.
This rule was changed at the request
of the Eastern Intercollegiate League.
which last season abolished the zonine
rule.
Oswald Tower of Andover. Mass.
editor of the official guide and mem
Der of the joint committee, said that
this rule was also changed because
1T was found that players were taxi
ing advantage of the zones by draw
ing fouls in the restricted areas by
deliberately teasing opponents to foul
them.
Another rule was changed to read.
When the ball hits the edge of the
blackboard and rebounds into the
playing court it shall still be in play"
This rule was rewritten to save time.
the rulemakers said, as heretofore
ball has Immediately been declared
out of bounds when it hit the edge of
the blackboard.
The word face" was inserted in
the rule covering the painting of the
blackboard. The former rule made it
mandatory for a team to paint it's
blackboard white, but teams eyaded
the regulation by painting the back
white and leaving the face its nat
ural color. Under the new rule teams
will be forced to paint the face of the
board white.
overtime periods in high school

OF five. Although this change takes the

1t is believed that Manager Harris
feels inclined to delay Johnson's
debut in the regular season until a
week from today when the club
reaches Philadelphia, where Walter
proved 50 effective last season, this
plan having the advantage of giving
Johnson more time to prep himself as
we'll as making it possible for him
to officiate in the Washington curtain
raiser a week from next Wednesday.
Had Mogridge come through with
a bit more impressive showing
against the Giants in last Thursdays
tilt at the Capital there is little
doubt but that he would be definitely
booked to officiate in the ceremonies
three days hence and he may, get the

plenty of time to give the ex-Hill-
topper thorough inspection.
Rice and Peck alone of the regu-
at the expense OF the soft hurting
presented by the Giants today.
BIuege and Judge, with three bin
giles apiece, were the leaders, Joe
getting safety every time he came
up.
Frfsch further injured his lame
right ankle in trying to nab
zachary's roller in the fourth and
at third.
Kelly euchered the Griffs out of a
potential tally in the sixth when he
made a sensational one-hand stab
of Goslin's bid for an extra-base
blow, with Rice on the paths.
Jackson pulled a fine play to rob
McNeely of a double when he sprint
ed into left field to take Earls Texas
Lacquer over his shoulder.

Hauser, the Athletics star first

dous contenders for the flag said
President Ban johnson tonight.
'The public can surely count On a
splendid race and much excitement We
are fortunate in the fact that our clubs
are better balanced in the pitching
department and much reserve
strength has been added TO several
of the teams"
The advent of Eddie Collins, peer
less second baseman of nearly a
score of years, into the managerial
ranks with the Chicago White Sox,
has raised high hopes in Sox fans.
For several years Collins has been
talked of as manager, but he chose
to avoid the responsibilities. His
acceptance of the leadership has
welded the squad into determined
band of flag chasers.
Elsewhere the club leadership re-
mains unchanged from last year, but
there will be many new faces among
the regulars. The Athletics and the
Yankees were the heaviest traders In
the Winter season. =
The failure OF Walter Johnson to
conclude negotiations for share in
some minor league club led the
veteran boxman to retoin his
world champion teammates again
this Spring. After two failures in
the world series last FAN he came
back the third time for one of the
most thrilling victories in base balls
history. While the speed ball king
has intlmated he felt his best days
are going, the fans will watch with
keen interest his effort to be of
