other Giant sluggers in batting slumps, Terry was forced to recruit every possible bit of available pow CT at the plate.
 An injury to Leslie's wrist forced him to the sidelines and gave Me Carthy another oh Il ce to play regularly. It so happened that the Giants were just about hitting their winning stride again after their mid-season letdown and Johnny fell right into step with the rest of the team.
 He really blossomed out in the game that marked the Cardinals farewell appearance at the Polo Grounds. It was a hectic struggle that went ten innings before the Giants triumphed. McCarthy's two home runs kept the Giants in the ball game and in first place. He followed that batting spree up with four more homers, making a total of six circuit blows in nine games.
 If Mccarthy keeps up his cur rent pace, Sam Leslie's dream of playing in the World Series is not likely to be realized.

Ne,v I037 Football Rules

NEW YORK, Sept 27.-In case it has slipped your mind, they've changed the football rules again.
 At it's 1887 meeting, the rules committee was anything but radical. But there are four things you fans must remember:
 l. Kickoff-Only one will be al- lowed. If the ball is kicked out of bounds, it is to be put in play by opponents on their own 35-yard line, or 10 yards in from the point where it crossed the whichever is more advantageous.
 2. Numbers-Are required on both front and back of all players.
 3. Receivers-of forward passes get less protection. Tt must be re- membered that defensive players have as much right to the ball as the eligible opponents and bodily con- tact, however severe. between play CTS who are making a bona fide' attempt to catch or bat the ball |shall not be construed as interfer- |ence"
 4. A free ball-is kicked only with the foot. We knew this all the time but the committee clarified the rule |against kicking a ball by saying "A free ball strikes a portion of a players body other than his foot. This is not to be considered as kick ing" And there will be no penalty even if a player pushes the ball with his nose for 40 yards.

PHELAN IS DISPLEASED
 AT HUSKIES SHOWING

SEATTLE, Sept. 27.-Ths Huskies may have pleased the fans with the victory Saturday over the Uni versity of Iowa, but not Jimmy Phelan. He was little imprssed with the winning attack of his team members and did not mince words at the practice session to- day when the squad began prepar- ing for the first conference en- counter with Southern California next Saturday at Los Angeles.
 Three line-ups will leave for the south tomorrow.
 In the Iowa game, the Huskies tried none of the plays they have been practicing, even passes by Fritz Waskowitz which counted for the touchdowns in the second and fourth periods. They were straightaway shots.

 CLASS IS TO

Hundred and Eighty-hve Founders Are to Be
 Designated

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-On the grounds that the heavyweight class covers too much variation in weights, the National Boxing Asso- citation is considering a creation of a 1855 pound class.
 Some sport writers state that the time will not be far distant, per haps, before the heavyweight class will be so divided that every five pounds will be a separate class and the whole bunch can then be tossed into the discard. The only three classes will be established, heavy, middle heavy and light heavy and divide the others into ranks, any, thing to confuse the writers and public.

 -N ,Qo.------1s

Johnny McCarthy's recent batting splurge not only has been great help to the Giants in their pennant drive but it has gone long way to vindicate Terry's judgment of the lanky first sacker.
 Terry was pretty well satisfied that Mccarthy was the man to take over his old post at first after Long John had played several games for the Giants late in the season last year. The manner in which Mccarthy pulled drives into the right field stands at the time con- vinced Terry that he would be a mighty handy chap to have around the Polo Grounds.
 Mccarthy reported to the Giants training camp in Havana this spring secure in the knowledge that he would get a thorough trial at first. Terry had promised him as much. Even when Johnny failed to burn up the grapefruit circuit with his hitting Terry did not give him up. He was a flash in the field and sooner or later Terry figured, he would find the kick of hitting big league pitching.
 When the season rolled along and McCarthy's batting average failed to assume anything like robust pro- portions, Terry replaced him with Sam Leslie. Sam always has been a healthy clouter but his fielding did not compare with the brand Me Carthy flashed. But with Ott and

 Pennant Race
(By Associated Press)

To all intent and purposes, the New York Giants have the National League pennant tucked away in the pocket but there is still a bare chance the Boston Bees may knock them over, in fact the last hope for the Cubs, who are now on the trail of the Giants lies in the ability of Boston to continue the jinx over the Cubs.
 The Bees and the Giants meet to- day and tomorrow in doubleheaders on the Polo Grounds in New York City.
 The Cubs must knock off the Car dinals and Reds in seven remaining games.

J. WASHINGTON DEFEATS IOWA
 BY SCORE 14-0
Huskies Make Their Tallies in Second, Fourth
 Periods

SEATTLE, Sept. 27.-The Illus kies of the Diversity of Washington defeated the University of Iowa last Saturday afternoon by a score of IA to 0.
 Washington scored the first touch down in the second play in the sec- and period when WascowitZ passed to Johnson who made run from the 15-yard line to a touchdown.
 The second score was made in the last quarter when Wascowitz passed to Shelldrake who ran from the 13-yard line for the touchdown.
 The Huskies on Saturday played their 18th intersectional game in U. of w. history and of these, Wash ington teams have won five, lost six and tied two. Three of Washing tons intersectional contests include Tournament of Roses appearances at Pasadena, two of which the Illus kies lost, one ended in tie.
 Washingtons first intersectional game was played 34 years ago, dur ing the season of 1903 when the University of Nevada invaded Se- attle and lost 20 game to Wash ington.
 The season of 1915, when the col legiate teams of the Northwest un- successfully tried to arrange Wash ington's schedule and stood out against Gilmour Dobie's influence with the result that Huskies were left, temporarily high and dry for games, saw Washington's second in- terectional game. When Northwest teams combined to sidetrack the Huskies, Art Younger, then gradu ate manager, listed Colorado for a game that Washington won 46-0.
 The next year, 1916, the Pacific Coast Conference got into action and Washington's schedule return ed to normal
 Saturdays game against Iowa was Washington's third against a Big Ten opponent. The Huskies trav- eled to Chicago in 1929 to take 26-6 defeat from Stagg's U. of c. eleven in their first Big Ten grid exper- fence. Minnesota came to Seattle last September and took 14-7 game from Washington in the sec ond venture of the Huskies into competition of that calibre.
 Only once in all it's intersectional play has a Washington football team failed to score That was last New Years Day at Pasadena when Pitts Partners goose-egged the Illus kies while scoring 21 points for themselves.
 The list of WashingtonS intersec- tional football games and the scores of each one follow:
 Washington 2, Nevada at Seattle.
 Washington 46, Colorado 0 at Seattle.
 192O-W Washington ', Dartmouth 28 at Seattle.
 1921-Washington 2, Penn State 21 at Seattle.
