Drastic Change Is Made to
Prevent Accidents on

at Detroit.

The field in the 1884 Indianapolis
500-mile race at the Motor Speed
way will be limited to thirty-three
change agreed on late Thursday by
the contest board of the American
Automobile Association meeting at
Detroit.
Forty-two racing cars started in
the speed event here last Memorial
day and the change was agreed on
in desperate effort to reduce the
accident hazard in the race.
The proposal of Colonel f. V.
Eddie Rickenbacker, president Of
the Speedway Corporation, to limit
the field in 1884 to stock cars only
was turned down fatty by the con-
test board, The Times learned today
from authoritative sources.
Empty Field Feared
The contest board, it is under
stood feared that an empty field
would be the result Of such a drastic
step. The rulers of the speed sport
are said to feel that most of the
large automobile manufacturers
will not take part in the race under
any circumstances. The manu-
facturers, engineers say believe
their costly investments would be
periled by racing luck"
More rigid inspection of appli-
csntS for entry trials was recon-
mended to the indianapolis Speed
way by the board, additional re-
ports from Detroit said.
A committee representing the
contest board, the drivers, and The
Speedway was selected as a jury TO
pass upon the qualifications and
abilities of the drivers and the
eligibility of their automobiles be-
fore the qualifying trials start.

The forty-two-car limit for the

By ALAN GOULD

When the New York Yankees came back from Chicago a year ago, after walloping the Chicago Cubs in four straight world series games, Joseph Vincent Mccarthy was hailed ts the ranking master mind" of the big leagues, rewarded with a new three-year contract at fancy figure and his team crown ed with the wreath of invincibility.
 And so, my friends, exactly one year later William Harold Terry trooped back to the Big Town from Washington with a band of bowling triumphant New York Giants, re- ceived a civic welcome and was promptly rewarded with new five year contract as all acclaimed him the new miracle man" of baseball.
 Meanwhile the Yankees and J. V. Mccarthy had been crowned, if at all, with a wreath of razzberries for 1883, all but forgotten in the rush to board the new baseball bandstand and proclaim the great ness of an aggregation that all but a few optimists regarded as bunch of misfits and fugitiyes from the earthquake zone last spring.

Basketball Skill Is Being Used to Good Advant-
 age on Grid Field

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Oct. 26.- Believing that basketball skill can be put to good use in open style football, Indiana University .shis fall is getting maximum utility out of the wealth of basketballing ta- ken in its gridiron army.
 At least eight players who were first rank high school cage stars in this hotbed of prep basketball two of them all-state selections are in Coach Billy Hayes corps of ends and backs. And to be an all-state basketeer in Indiana you have to be mighty good with a ball!
 So Coach Hayes has been work ing on a form of grid attack which takes fullest advantage of the lads ability to receive and get rid of a ball while in the midst of a leaping pivot.
 But Is It Football?
 Out on the practice fields one
 
 hears coaches and players kelling back and forth about basketball flips," and basketball laterals" and breast shots" They're using them all. striving to perfect some com plex advancing maneuvers.
 On one particular fancy play, the fullback receives the ball from center. The end bumps the de- fensive tackle briefly, then exc cutes an aerial pivot to receive a short forward pass high in the air from the fullback. Without waiting to touch terra firma again the leaping end shoots a basketball flip a few yards into the hands of a wingback, running wide.
 After a few steps. the wingback pivots a quarter turn and sends a typical basketball lateral to the tailback who has followed the play and VITO then heads down the side lines toward the goal. The end heads the interference, followed by the wingback who took the flip, the fullback, and the ball. carrier. Complex? Yes, but it can be done, as puzzled Freshman gridders will attest.
 Serious About It
 Among principals in this flip hing and tossing are Vernon Huff man, sophomore back, and Fitz- hugh Lyons, giant negro senior end. Both were all-state basket hall centers. Huffman was on the champion Newcastle five. Wen del Walker, plunging sophomore fullback, Quarterback Don Weller and Rip Peters, and Halfbacks Adolph Sabik, Don Phipps and Ray Dauer all starred on prep hardwoods
 Indiana coaches and players are taking their basketball attack" seriously.
 And why not?" they ask. Why not give Northwestern, Ohio State, ct al, taste of the sport for which Hoosier high schools are famed?"

to produce several million gallons additional.
 DistilIing Plans Extensive
 Some large distillers have esti- mated that more than 70,000,000 gallons of hard liquor could be made available quickly in the United States. They report plans calling for a productive capacity of 15O,OO0,000 gallons in 1884 which would be considerably more than an anticip ated consumption of from 7O,0OO,OoO to 1OO,O0O,00O gal Ions, assuming repeal wins.
 Stocks of wine total 25,000, 900 gallons, which is rated a good supply for this country. Brandy in warehouses amounts to 1768,000 gallons; gin, 3O5 1000 gallons and rum, 244,00O gallons.
 In 1917, the peak year of hard liquor consumption according to warehouse statistics. some 83,590,- GOO gallons of whisky. 659,000 gall Ions of rum, 5,400,oOo gallons of gin and 3,551 900 gallons of bran dy were withdrawn for consump- tion.
 Some Young whisky Good
 Bureau of specialists explain, however, that very small per centage of the whisky consumed each year in the pre-prohibition era was four years old. They say that whisky aged for two years, or even one year, can be very good stuff"
 There are still some quite "an- cient" whisky stocks in the ware houses. Of the 1911 stocks some 4,OO0 gallons are left, while of the 1912 and 1913 production there are 25,OO0 and 107,O00 gallons, respec- lively. Today there are only seven

MILES MURPHY
 IN GO TONIGHT

Miles Murphy, Juneau, Irish-1n- dian fighter, is to meet Cecil Jor- dan, Oakland colored battler in the four round special event on Promoter George Shanklin's boxing card tonight in Tacoma, accord ing to advices received here.
 One Tacoma sports writer says.
 Murphy is well and favorably known to local fandom. He has fought many sterling battles in the Greenwich arena and, at times, has shown promise.
 Tn Cecil Jordan, the Indian will be meeting an opponent who has had plenty of experience in California and Oregon rings. The colored boy has been boxing as a middleweight only short time, most of his battles having been at the welter limit. He comes to Tacoma from Klamath Falls via Portland, where he stopped over to beat Jimmy Heel The record that the dark hued warrior amass- ed in California is an imposing one in part as follows: Johnny Freeman, K. O., one round; lost decision to Verle Whitehead, re- gently crowned middleweight champion by the California com mission; Al Manfredo, draw, six rounds; Gilbert Attell, won one and lost one of two 10-round fights via the decision route; Eddie Dam pler,t won decision, 10 rounds and Louie Rogers, won decision"

PEOPLES CHOICE

No baseball turnover in twenty years has been so complete, so startling or so hugely enjoyable to a certain big section of the popu- lace as the triumph of the Giants over all National League opposition and subsequently, the proud Wash ington Senators.
 As we suggested in advance, these Giants were and are the peoples choice" They boast com paratively few great names, though now the fame of Hubbell and Ott, as well as Terry, has spread far and wide. They have consistently defied all orthodox professional standards by playing baseball like bunch of college boys.
 They no longer have had master mind" when there was any deep strategy to be decided upon, Manager Terry called a meeting in the center of the dia- mond, in the course of which Blondy Ryan probably would sug- gest That guy is a cinch to hit into a double play" All hands would agree and the inflied would go back to handle the twin killing Or Memphis Bill might address himself as follows to faltering pitcher: Hey, will you get in there and bear down or will I have to call Papa Luque in from the bull pen?"
 I do not mean to imply that the Giants played the blindfold or catch-as-catch-can system. Far from it. They used common sense, direct methods. Terry's style of leadership drew the whole team into an intense feeling of being partners with him. They shared the arguments or participated in the decisions. Always they played to win, taking chances and forc- ing the breaks.

 We have some outstanding play CTS on this ball club" Terry said, but I have never been with a team where it was so true that every man contributed his share to the club success.
 We relied on great pitching but We supported it with fine de- fensive work and timely enough hitting to keep us on top. Any man in the lineup, from Joe Moore in the lead-off position down to and including the pitcher, might drive in the winning run or pull off the decisive play in the field. This developed rare feeling of team confidence and kept anybody from getting an exaggerated idea about his value or ability"
