NEW YORK, March 20-The prom
Use Of close and exciting races this
year in both major leagues is held
forth in reports so far from the
training camps, where observers are
convinced that at least four and
probably five clubs will be in the
thick of each pennant hunt.
Not only viii the American league
witness something of free-for- all,
where last season the Senator'S and
Athletics made it 1.-TWO horse" race,
if the opinion of southern observers
are borne out, but the Pittsburgh Pr
rates will occupy far from the domi-
nant position after their worlds Sc
ries triumph last fall.
If the pitching staffs of the Ath
letics and Senators come up to eX-
pectations, these two well balanced
clubs will be hard to beat in the
junior circuit, the critics agree. AT
the same time, both the Tigers and
Browns give promise of greatly i'm
proved showings with added strength
in several departments The White
Sox, too, if they solve their short,
stop problem, are expected to be
dangerous factors, but the CORE
soondents have not become enthusi-
astic as yet over the chances OF
Cleveland, the Yankees or the Red
Sox. In spite of Babe I.uth's eX-
pected come back and the addition of
several high-priced infielders, the
Yankees have not impressed their
followers in the south.
ed their rating as favorites remains
unchanged among the experts, but
particular stress is laid on the adj
ded strength apparent in the line-ups
of their principal rivals.
Improvement in the pitching corps
of the Giants the addition of Wally
Pipp, Christensen and Emmer to the
already well equipped Cincinnati cast

The Y. M. c. =. wrestling class is
coming along in great shape, accord
ing to J. W. Deeming, physical di-
rector. ALI weights are represented
except the welterweight and middle-
weight. The purpose of the class is
to teach boys and young men the art
of self defense,
The class have had the second les
son and are adapting themselves to
the work wonderfully well, and the
instructor is pleased with the mate
rial with which he has to work.
I.ules being followed are the reg
ular amateur rules which bar out all
the dangerous holds such as the toe
hold, hammerlock, double Nelson and
stranglehold. THE boys will be I'M
able to button their shirt collars
after few weeks training as the
neck develops very rapidly in wrest-
ling. The course will last four
weeks during which time all the
most common holds and breaks will
be taught, starting with the Nelson's,
each lesson taking the boys toward
the more complicated holds.

The safety rule was revised so
that a team making a safety must
put the ball in play on its own
twenty yard line by a kick on the
first down with the opposing team
restrained to the 80 yard line. The
other changes involve the boundary
lines to keep all play within the
legal playing field.
The changes provide that:
1.-The second and third incom-
plete forward passes, which shall
be made before a first down in any
series of plays, each shall be pen
allied by a loss of five yards.
"A team making a safety must
put the ball in play on its own

kick, place kick or on side kick

by the Boston Braves has convinced

Grantees could be authorized by
the secretary to construct fences,

fit to the livestock industry"
