BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 12.-Three
~ important changes in the rules of
lacrosse were made at the fifteenth
annual meeting of the United States
intercollegiate Lacrosse Association.
The number of players making up
team was reduced from IL to 10, the
playing field was shortened to 80 yards
from 110 and the game was divided
into four periods instead Of two. The
reduction in personnel was made large
ly to aid the smaller colleges and to
reduce travel expenses for teams,
while the change in the length of the
field was made to fit the new teams
The width Of the field remains
unchanged
The new plan will be introduced next
Spring. The positions eliminated were
second attack and second defense.
Under the quarter" system, a player
may be substituted in any quarter after
the one in which he left the game and
the teams will change sides after each
quarter.
The rule barring the use Of face
masks was rescinded and it wss decided
to permit the use of am kind of shoes
except those with metallic cleats.
The application of the United States
Military Academy for membership was
accepted. bringing the number OF mem
bers up to 25.

n YEW YORK, December 12.-With
rivulets of rain trickling from
the rims of their derbies, trails
of slush mapping their paths
across the plush footing OF the lobbleS
of the Hotel New Yorker and the Com
modore, the plug-hats and the hunger
marchers of base ball began collecting
into huddles this morning to swap
rheumatic pitches for charleyhorsed
outfelders, to present their ideas OF
what is best for the games fallen arches
and how to take the rust from the
turnStiles.
In the midst of typical gathering
of the mutton chop and beef stew types
of base ball men at the New Yorker,
where the International League Is III
convention today. is Joe Cronin, man.
ager of the Washington ball ,clup' anu
the youngest pilot in the game.
It's new to the kid leader-brand-
new. He gazes on the hucdles, con-
fused and wary. II is all too new Tor
him TO enter into oratorical sparrlng
with some of the vets, sharp fellows
who can talk excitedly for an hour-
and say nothing which would make a
line of type.
But those Cronin eyes and that Gro
min chin tell story. He WatcneS WIN
kiddish interest and enthusiasm as the
big bows of the game, and the not-So-plg
old timers, verbally shadow box WIN
one another and tell stories OF the good
old DAYS. And that pugnaciouS chm OF
the San Francisco kid sticks out IKE
the prov of a gunboat when one OF tne
patriarchs of the diamond bluntly asks
him where he is going to take his cluo
next season.
ssCEE," he said last night, 1t 1eels
" funny to come into hotel with
cut the rest Of the bang" AND
he was gazing around as If he expected
some of his Griff playing mates 10
come popping over.
Joe cannot swap stories of the good
old days with the old eagles OF the
pastine. because the good old days of
base ball to Joe are just a few years
back. But he will not agree with them
that the ancient times we're better dla-
mond days, nor that the players OF
another day were any better than
todayS.
/ 81 cannot see that old-time stuff, "
saws Joe seriously. You know, be-
Iisve that the players of today are CIV
ing the customers as good show as any
OF the teams Of yesterday did Maybe
we do not go out there and bowl over
the umpire, raise. a riot in every game,
and act as tough as some of the vets
say the old-timers did. but the players
of today are out there fighting all of
the time"
Joe mentioned few games played
| last year in which Lou Gehrig, Buddy
Myer, Al Simmons. Fred Marberry. Carl
Reynolds, Bill Dickey, Umpire Moriar-
| ty. Lew Fonseca and a number oi
players participated in to show that
the boys today do lot Of battling, too
but wonders II the fans want that sort
of stuff.

The name is Mrs. Helen Wills Moody

winning years include 1928, 1924, 1928,

IN ager Joe Cronin got his first taste
of the thing which is likely to
make managing a ball club slightly in
terfere with playing bang-up base ball
at the same time.
It was midnight and your corre-
spondent, who brings 'em in alive at

Yorker with tip that MarSe Joe NC
Carthy of the YankS was ready to swap
Benny Chapman, his speedster out
fielder, for Heinie Manush and maybe
toss in a new Christmas tie.
And the rrmor was that Uncle and
Marse Joe were going to talk it over.
After much jangling on the French
phone and pleading with the hotel tele-
phone operator, came new voice,
sounding far away.
"Mr. Cronin speaking" it said.
1t was 1915.
Your ever-alert reporter, who gets his
man anywhere at the time, went into
his query, which was sleepily denied and
scoffed off by the new manager.
And after apologies for having
awakened Mr.. Cronin, your insiStent
news seeker realized that here is some
thing entirely new to Joe, something
to combat when he is both player and

M National Pocket Billiard Cham

It's second week today with OF
the 10 contenders still unbeaten.
Heading the undefeated brigade was
the defending champion, Ralph Green
leaf of New York. The champion had
won three successive matches, as had
young Jimmy Caras of Wilmington,
Del; Erwin Rudolph of Cleveland and
Pasquale Natalie of Chicago.
Trailing the leaders were Andrew
Ponzi of Philadelphia, with two victories
in three starts; Bennie Allen of Kan
saS City, with an even break In four
games, and Frank Taberski of Schen-
estady, N Y, who had won one game
and lost three. George Kelly OF Phila-
delphia, James Mills of San Jose, Calf,
and Walter Franklin of Kansas City
all were seeking their first victories.
Kelly had lost three successive matches
and Mills and Franklin four each.
Allen Sprang the biggest surprise OF
the tournament when he handed Ponzl.
previously picked to dethrone Green
leaf, a l25-to-85 beating last night.
Ponzi, in his first two tests, had set q
tournament high run record of u and
contributed the best game as well when
he ran out on .Taberski in four innings.
He could not get his game to click
last night until Allen had pulled into
a tremendous lead. Ponzi trafled by
nearly 100 points at the end Of the sew
enteenth inning, but rallied to run rs
in the eighteenth and so in the nine
teeth. Seeing victory slipping from his
grasp, Allen promptly ran IL in the
twentieth inning for match.

STABLE DOLLAR
BACKED ANEW
BY CAPPER
By ARTHUR CAPPER
U. S. Senator from Kansas


Money fundamentally, as
see it, is a medium Of exchange.
AS money it is not, or should
not, be a commodity Of itself.
The dollar should have a con-
slant purchasing power in rela-
ton to all the commodities.
This rubber dollar we now have
this dollar that goes UP and
down, down and UPS a dis
honest thing.
Remedy For Ills
The House has passed a bill
to stabilize the dollar, through
directing the Federal Reserve
Board, the Federal Reserve
banks, and the Secretary of the
Treasury to keep the dollar in
a constant ratio to the Depart
ment of Labor commodity index.
That Stabilization bill, spon-
sored originally by economists,
next backed by the farm or.
ganizations. 1 regard as one Of
the most important pieces Of
legislation before Congress. IT
will be of very great help in
remedying our economic ills.
1t has been widely advertised
that the Federal Reserve Board.
through what is termed open
market operations, is going to
expand the currency and ex-
pand credit, SO as to decrease
the purchasing power of the
dollar and increase the COM
modify price level.
For a Definite Policy
The commodity price level
or the purchasing price Of
the dollar-should be restored
practically to the level Of 1925.
Then the Federal Reserve
Board should use open mar
ket operations, and its power
of changing the discount rate,
to keep the purchasing power
constant.
am not attacking the
money-lenders-they are neceS-
sary, useful and all that. But
they should serve business gen.
orally; not rule it and ruin
it, as there is danger under
the present system.
The Congress should lay
down definite monetary pol
icy and that policy should be
to regulate, currency and credit
so that the purchasing power
of the dollar shall remain
stable.
