Little Not Coming Here,

loped Charlie Yates, lost the put
ting touch he had against Yates, and
Little took him by and g. Turnesa

reached the turn in 80 against Yates
His putting touch was like magic. He
couldn't miss. But Lawson had him
in hand all the way, getting to the
turn in g.. TO be 2 up, and hanging
onto his lead like a miser to wind up
the match on the sixteenth. Lawson
really began hitting the ball against
Turnesa, the toughest man he has
met so far. The iron shots which had
been banging around the corners of
the greens began splitting the pins,
and his putting touch, away for
week, began TO come back. He is apt
TO be red hot today and smother Arm
strong by 6 and or more. If he
does, Goldman or Smith will never
stop him in the final.
Lawson told me today that he will
not be able to come TO Washington
after the championship, as he had
tentatively planned TO do. He has to
get back TO school in California,
where he is senior at Leland STAN
ford.
The two Texas lads who met each
other today hitch-hiked their way TO
Boston. Along the route Smith lost
his wardrobe and he is playing in a
pair of pants borrowed from Johnny
Dawson and sweater from some one
else. Goldman is the only fellow in
the tournament who eschews stock
ings. His hairy legs look like an ad-
vertisement for a before and after
hair remover. But he can bang that
apple around and he looks TO me like
the fellow who will meet Little tom2r-

COACHES IN BIG TEN
FIND FLAW In CODE
Add an Option Clause to Offset
Double Penalty Action on
Illegal Kick Recovery.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September l4.-After
several hours of delving into the
1884 college foot ball code the
Big Ten coaches discovered one loop
hole which needed plugging.
This year the rules say that the IL
legal recovery of a punt, that is, by
the kicking team, is a foul. Previously,
the ball simply became the possession
of the receiving team regardless of
which side downed it.
Coach Kipke of Michigan brought
up the point that since the illegal re-
covery was a foul, what would prevent
a team, should the kicking side down
the ball on its opponents l or yard
line, from deliberately committing q
foul such as clipping, canceling the
illegal recovery foul. This would make
it necessary to make the play over
again, and would get the receiving
team out Of bad hole.
1t was decided that, in conference
games, the kicking team would have
the option Of refusing the penalty for
a foul committed by the receiving
team, putting the ball in play where
it was downed. Against non-confer-
ence opponents Big Ten teams will
interpret the rule as the opposition
wishes.

Finds Good Players Scarce.

u EFLECTING further on trends
IN and conditions in the barter and
sale of ivory, Charles mentioned
the dearth of good ball players in

Its almost impossible to make a
fair trade, see? All they want is your
left eye in exchange for a couple of
bush league outfielders or infielders.
Maybe 1 could make a trade
for player wanted, but who
would they ask me for in ex-
change? Derringer. They'd ask
for Derringer every time"
Would you trade Derringer?"
I'D have to have something awful
extra special in the way of offers to
make me do it. Why, that fella will
be one of the big four pitchers of the
league next year. He can't miss. Notice
the way he's been working lately?
He don't drop many games.
I'VE may have a pretty good bunch
OF pitchers next year. Frey is good. AS
soon as that Stout gets control, he'll
be great. And we got some good young
sters coming along-Schott from To-
ronto, and Richman from Baltimore.
and this left-hander GriSsom that
worked against Brooklyn this series.
He's funny fella for you"
Mr.. Dressens face was suffused with
something approaching hope and some
thing resembling amusement.
He didn't look like a Cincin-
natl manager at all. Maybe he
never will. Maybe the Reds will
turn over new leaf behind MIR.
Dresser and 20 somewhere.
Let's wait till next Spring.
If Mr.. Dressen's hair still is dark

that the Cincinnati aging process has
collapsed and that Howley, Bush and

There's something about these
civic soldiers that gets you. They're
out doing a real piece of work. And

Here's a gang, this Coast Artillery

from the general Guards allotment
than a pack of foot balls. Yet the

THE fine spirit of the 260th has
won a pair of guys well versed
in foot ball. Everett Burke,
who used to play at Western High and
later at Washington and Lee, and
Darragh Scudder, once assistant to
Hugo Bezdek at Penn State, have VOL
unteered to coach the Artillerymen.
And these two know plenty about
this football stuff. If the civic SOL
diers can be taught the game, Burke
and Scudder will teach it.
It's an enthusiastic crowd that's
getting out for the gridiron sport down
at the water front armory. A crowd
averaging in age around 90 years.
Some have played foot ball. Most are
green at the game.
But what they lack in knowledge
they make up with their fire and
fight. The National Guard always
has those.
Actually we hear too little about
these civic soldiers The boys are
doing great work. Whether in
military way or otherwise makes no
difference. They're deserving all sup

antee toseturn your hair white in

Dan Howley, DOME Bush and Bob

bona fide aging process.
The process begins with fight talk
from the ownership or management
of the club.
1.-THE least we expect of our EN-

nj sharp drop in the betting
| Y odds today found Barney Ross
narrow 6-to-5 favorite over
Jimmy McLarnin for their thrice
postponed 15-r ound welterweight
championship match, to be held, its
sponsors most sincerely hope, in
Madison Square Garden Bowl tomor-
row night.
Ross was 9-to-5 favorite a week
ago Thursday night when the fight
originally was to have been held, but
these odds have been hammered down
for week as result of McLarnin's
f1aShy gymnasium workouts. It was
not that Ross appeared to have lost
any of his razor-edge condition by
the To-day delay, caused by heavy
rains the latter part of last week, but
rather that Jimmy seemed to have
benefited the more by 1t.
Not since those palmy days of q
few years ago when his right was
labeled sheer poison and his left
dynamite has McLarnin punched so
vicicusly and effectively as he did
yesterday in his final drill before the
tight he hopes will regain for him
the l47-pound title he lost to Ross
last May.
Jimmy In Form.
ENCOURAGED perhaps by an au-
t. dience Of 1000, the Irishman
opened up wide in a three-round
workout with his clever Philadelphia
sparring partner, Calvin Reed. He
snapped Reeds head back with JOLT
ing left jabs, bent him almost double
with portside hooks and, at the finish,
had him draped over the ropes, out
on his feet after a right-hander had
exploded on his chin. 1t was an
amazing demonstration of punching
power with the big gloves.
After it was all over Jimmy hoped
on the scales, which registered at
l461a pounds. half pound under the
class limit.
Ross meanwhile travelled through
four rounds of boxing against Al Cas-
simini, Jimmy Murray and Phil Raf-
ferty at top speed without drawing a
deep breath. His punching was not
so impressive as it had been the day
before, but Barney obviously was
taking things easy so far as hitting
was concerned. His weight was not
announced, but expert appraisers
guessed 1t was around 140 pounds.
