Grid Rule Curbs Team
With Curb At
End Zones

The new football rules are
proving a source Of great en-
barrassment to Commerce High
School, of San Francisco.
Under laws recently adopted,
goal posts must be moved back
10 yards from the goal line
next season.
As the Commerce High foot
ball field is only three yards
from a public street on both
ends, the coach is sorely puz-
zled. He will have to ask the
police department to suspend
traffic on the afternoons his
team plays. His goal posts will
be located on the street curbs.

AMERICANS WIN
SOCCER TILT

American and Scotch soccer teams
today hold the upper hand in the
international series now under way
in the Washington Soccer league.
The Americans triumphed over the
German hooters, 2 to 1, while the
Scotch eleven was forced to do its
best to stop the British klckers, 8
and 2. Both games were spirited
and spectacular plays resulted.
The American and Germans fought
a draw during the first half of
their game. Bowie scored the first
goal from a difficult angle into the
Germans net. A few minutes later
Harry Nicholson converted penalty
kick into another counter. The
goal scored by the Germans was
the result Of Werner's bang at the
net.
Dick Hodge accounted for two
goals in the ch.British game
for the winners, while Malloch got
the other. Watts nicked the two
goals from the British eleven.

In the spring of 1925 the Yankees
had Cullop in their training camp
and he never got a fair trial, being
sent to Atlanta almost at once. 1t
smacked of q deal by which the
Yankees merely kept him long
enough to cover the law and that
he was never meant to shine in the
biz show.
a year ago the Yankees again
mad him at st. Petersburg. He
got 3 little better trial then but
ben taSehal was supposed to hit

MIN the edge over Cullop, who
was sent to st. Paul.

The Phillies were terrible. No two
ways about that. They are worse
now. They traded ..way whatever
they had and now they have moth.
ing. 1t was an even break, provided
you think the box office is i'm
portant.
All that the writer saw In the way
Of first-class ball players in the camp
Of the Phillies today was the posi-.
billy that Hal Carlson, right-hand
pitcher, would appear; that Fred
Leach would play center field, and
that John Mokan and Al Nixon
would fill in tho remaining positions
in the outfield. The phiIIies, In
other words, have a major league
outfit and a class A ball club in the
remaining positions.
In other words, John p.
!. (Stuffy) McInnes has absorbed a
nOuthful that IL more than the
average man can masticate.
John r.. has bitten off an indi-
gestible mOuthfuI. In brief, the
Phillies were terrible: they are
worse now. The infield, for no
reason at all, is composed Of
Russell WrightstOne, more power
to his bones; THOMPSON at sec.
Ond base; Sand at shOrtstop, and
Frfberg at third base.
The outfield, which is good by
some unavoidable error, probably
win be composed Of Nixon, Mokall
and Leach with the desperate Fred
Williams and Dennis Sothern in
reserve. That is all the outfielders
the Phillies have. but other clubs
have asked for less and gotten
more.
The catching staff Is good az far
az it goes but it doesn't go far.
Jimmy Wilson, last years varsity
man, Is good but he doesn't carry
it to extreme. His substitutes are
Clarence Jonnard up from Nashville,
and Harry o'Donnell up from Phila.
delphia.
The infield, so far Is supposed to
be McInnis, Thompson, Sand ard
Friberg. but unfortunately golf is
a combining pastime and John
hasn't had much time. When he
has had time to get around to 1t,
he has elected Wrightstone as the
first baseman and himself as the
manager. This has been ideal, as
McInnes has proved to be an ideal
manager IL he had something to
manage and Wrightstone has proved
to be an ideal first baseman il he
could play first base.
The Phillies In other words are
silly. Why waste time with them?
McInnes isn't. He is having an ex-
cellent time playing golf and the
Pills are having swell time play
ing pinochle.
However, business Is business
and It is worthy Of moment that
Dick Attreau of Norfolk Is doing
the best he can as substitute
first baseman. Others who feel
the same way about il are II. C. n
Baldwin Of Seattle, Leland Dun.

Bob Rice Of Philadelphia, who y

Engine Cylinders

The Society OF Automotiye En.
glneers says that all radial or 70,
tary engines as commonly used in
airplanes have an odd number OF
cylinders around a single crank.
The firing order skips alternate
cylinders In two complete revolu-
lions Of the crank or cylinder, de
pending on whether the engine is a
Fixed or rotary radlal engine. En-
gines of this type having an even
number of cylinders, such as 10 or
IA. are composed of two banks of
five and seven cylinders, respec-
lively. Radial and rotary engines
are characterized by having the
cylinders disposed at equal angular
intervals around a complete circle.
