Changes in Hockey Code Make
Game More Attractive to Fan
But Are Hard on Player

almost unhampered. The Rovers'
system of alternating two goalies
at frequent intervals seemed made
to order for this kind of game.
Smith said afterward that he
favored continuing this new kind
of game, which did for hockey what
Rhode Island States two-points-
a-minute teams have done for
basket ball. On the other hand,
the players were SO tired after two
periods that they were given an
extra five-minute rest before the
third while fresh surface was put
on the ice.
The other major change in this
game was in the way of playing
penalty shots and it resulted in one
goal. The defending team is re-
quired to line up even with the
goal and the attacking team at the
penalty line. If the free shot isn't
successful, the puck continues in
play. 1t was on the rebound of the
penalty shot that Harry Dick scored
an Atlantic City goal.
Would Cut Whistle Blowing.
The National Leaguers tried out
a scheme devised by Manager Lester
Patrick Of the Rangers to cut down
whistle blowing for offsides. Under
his proposed rule, the puck-carrier
remains onside even when a team
mate precedes him into the attack
ing zone. The nnesman merely
raises his hand as a signal in this
case and the other members of the
attacking team are required to re-
turn to the center zone and re-cross
the blue line before they're eligible
to receive a pass.
This may not have affected the
scoring as the Rangers won 6-3,
but observers estimated the number
of stops for offsides was cut in
half.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE
boys who like to tinker with the
hockey rules had their inning at
Madison Square Garden yesterday
and the consensus was that the
altered game is fine for fans who
like lots of scoring but rather hard
on the players.
Two separate experiments were
tried in the Eastern Amateur
League game between the New York
RoverS and Atlantic City Sea Gulls
in the afternoon and in the Rang
ers-Americans National League
contest at night.
The most radical changes in the
rules were put into effect in the
amateur game and the result was
, a wide-open, high-scoring affair
that Alex Smith, the old Ottawa
defenseman who coaches the Rovers,
termed lust what the customers
wanted to see." The Rovers won,
9-4.
Attackers Made Freer.
Doing away with the three zones,
there was only one blue line across
the rink to cause offsides and the
attackers had a lot more room in
which to operate. Passing appeared
much more effective as a result
and the defenders were run ragged
trying to catch up with the puck
as it shot down from man to man
on gang" plays. Perhaps the most
effective form Of attack proved to
be three-man rush on the net
with fourth player hanging back
clear of the crowd ready to take a
pass and shoot from a safe spot.
On behalf Of the defense, there
always was the chance to clear the
puck from the net to a man waiting
out near the blue line. who could
rush in on the opposing goalie

spoken for himself or for anything

there with the Statue of Liberty
However, his bat spoke loudly last

and 102 runs batted in.
Which brings us back to the
pitchers again. Leonard, Chase and

Outfield Is Pleasing
To Bueky, AnYwoy

The scouts hurriedly dug up some
more talent from the D and c
leagues, including one Joe Beck and
one Sam Cunningham. Beck was a
class D pitcher last year in the
Florida State League, but Mr.. Harris
did not despair over that, because
after all his ace pitcher, Sid Hud-
son, made the Jump from class D to
the majors in 1910.
Mr.. Beck started a game the other
day against the Giants. The Giants,
who shoot off f1recrackers whenever
they hit a pop fly, slammed MIR.
Beck for five runs in the first inning.
Manager Harris looked around for
his scouts, but his scouts already
were dashing for the exits.
When you calm him down and
change the subject from pitching to
something else Mr.. Harris manages
to muster up word of hope.
We'll be stronger in the outfield
this year," he says. I'VE have Doc
Cramer, George Case and Ben
Chapman, three fast men who can
hit. You won't find a better out
field anywhere. Buddy Lewis is back
at third base, Cecil Travis is the
shortstop and Jimmy Bloodworth
and Buddy Myer will take care of
second. Rick Ferrell still is one of
the best catchers in the league.
