Speed Afoot Gives Mats Third
Struioht Win Over Indians

fourth run of the round. The dizzy
session ended with AL Carrasquel,
ninth batter up, striking out.
That inning meant the fourth vic
tory of the year for the Venezuelan,
who had assumed the pitching as
signment in the fifth inning after
the Tribe, with two doubles and as
many singles off Roger Wolff in the
third. had amassed three runs. With
Myatt's double and Stan Spence's
triple the Mats had counted in the
first round Torres triple and Sui
'livan't infield erasure got the sec
ond run in the second inning and
in the third the Mats pulled up to
a tie with Joe Kuhel's walk, Torres
single and Sullivan's hoist to the
center fielder.
Mats Thump Gromek.
All this was done at the expense
of Stephen Gromek, Tribal right
handler, who was found for eight
hits in five innings. Paul Calvert
pitched the next two innings to
yield hit and a run and Ray Poat
took over in the eighth to grant
just one hit.
In the sixth the Indians blasted
two runs out of Carrasquel before
Powell took care of the situation
by making three successive outs.
With two on and one out the Ven-
ezuelan was on spot again in the
seventh, but this time he got him
self out with two strikeouts.
The Indians outhit the Mats with
six hits off Wolff and five off Cara
squel, but they also outerred the
Mats, three errors to one. And de-
spite two steals that didn't help
them any in their three-run inning
they had nothing in the way of
base running to match the scorching
Mats.
Maybe that black cat that wan
dered out to the left field foul line
while the Mats were tearing around
the bases had something to do with
the Splurge. It. certainly was no
jinx to the Washington club.
Candini, Nat pitcher who was hurt
IN Boston 10 days ago, had to have
another operation on his injured
hand yesterday and it may be two
weeks before he returns to the game.

Four Shots Under Par.
1t was four shots under the 3s-

such veteran and usually unbeat-

Toledo. Ohio's. former United States
open and PGA title winner; Ed

McSpaden and Nelson are the
leading money winners of the year
one or the other usually cleans nm
on the tournaments, and they're the
favorites in that order to take this
biggest event of 1914.
McSpaden, however, had to be

Eastern Colleges Hur|
Defiance al NCAA
In Revising Code
BY TED MEIER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-A wide
open college football season, filled
with spectacular plays, today ap-
peared to be just around the corner.
Following months of muttering
against the policy of the National
Collegiate A. A. that rules would
not be changed for the duration,
the Eastern intercollegiate Associa-
ton yesterday openly adopted six
rules changes for the coming sea-
son.
This was the latest manifestation
in a movement that has resulted
in "gentlemen's agreements" among
the teams of major conferences
throughout the country, a move
ment designed to bypass the NCAA
contention that the rules had been
frozen until the end of the war.
Rules Changes Agreed Upon.
The six rule changes that Asa
Bushnell, commissioner of the ETA
asserted will make college football
the most interesting and exciting
game ever played on the gridiron"
we're:
l. Teams kicking off out of bounds
will be penalized five yards each
time until a legal kick is made.
2. Permit use of one-inch artificial
tee for kickoffs
3. Permit forwarding passing from
any point. behind the scrimmage
line.
4. Lessened severity of penalties
for illegal forward pass when made
beyond line of scrimmage.
S. Clarified offside ruling by elm
mating clause there can be no both
teams offside."
6. Permit all fumbled balls to be
advanced by opponents. At present
the ball is dead at point of recovery.
These changes will be put into
effect by the 80 members of the
association. including such major
schools as Pennsylvania, Dartmouth.
Colgate. Army, Cornell, Navy, Penn
State, Pittsburgh, Temple, Villa
nova and Yale.
Situation Existing Elsewhere.
Elsewhere in the country this Is
how things shape up:
Big Ten-Rules unchanged. ex-
cept that member coaches at spring
meeting approved "gentleman's
agreement" not to kick out of bounds
on kickoffs.
Big Six-Off1cials have not yet
acted, but coaches on Saturday
recommended abandonment of no.
scouting rule Of year and also elm
ination of out-of bounds kickoffs.
Pacific Coast Conference Rule
change permits forward passing
from anywhere behind scrimmage
line.
Southwest Conference - Coaches
are contemplating "gentlemen's
agreement" not to kickoff out of
bounds Intentionally.
Southeast Conference.-The changes
in playing rules, but teams can open
practice week earlier and service
men not eligible upon matriculation.
Nothing has been done as yet in
the Southern Conference or Rocky
Mountain Conference.

Visions of what might have been
had the Mats maintained their
springtime speed afoot must have
flashed before the 4,576 faithful in
Griffith Stadium last night as the
Washington club put on its most
dazzling base-running show of the
year.
Instead of struggling to get out
OF last place, Os Bluege's band now
would be in the thick of the pen
nant fight very likely had it not
begged down on the base paths as
it did in other departments of the
game after it's fast getaway.
AS they outscored Cleveland's In
dians, to 5, for their third win
in succession. the Mats demon
strated convincingly what may be
accomplished with their speed that
so long had been missing, 1t was
speed that got them over the hump,
for the four runs that came from
five stolen bases and without the
ball being driven beyond the in
field in the fifth inning were needed
plenty.
Case Gets Stealing Lead.
The base-stealing orgy saw George
Case, champion pilferer of the
American League for the past five
years. take over the loop leadership
for this season with IS steals, a
total reached by thefts of second
and home. This put him one up on
Snuffy StirnWeiss of the New York
Yankees, according to unofficial rec
ords. Cases record this year is
remarkable, considering that he has
played in only 81 of the Mats ITO
games because of physical handi-
caps.
The clubs went into the home
sides fifth turn at bat with the
count Sail but after the Mats
staged their spectacular exhibition
on the paths the game was beyond
the Tribe.
Case spearheaded the attack that
sealed the game. After walking to
open the Mats fifth, he promptly
stole second, then he and George
Myatt, who had bunted safely, put
on double theft. with Case sliding
home handily under the return
from second.
Second Double Theft.
Jake Powell walked after one was
out and with two out a bad throw
by the Tribe first baseman put Gil
Torres on to fill the bases. Rick
Ferrell beat out grounder to deep
short to score Myatt, then Powell
and Torres tore along to the sec
ond double steal of the inning, with
Powell tallying.
Johnny Sullivan came along to
