SHANGHAI, Dec. 25.-A we'll
dressed Chinese youth was stopped
by two unidentified men in mid day
on Shanghai's famed Bund, hustled
into an automobile under protest
and driven away. That was two
weeks ago, and nothing has been
heard from him since. His kidnapers,
everyone seems to agree, were gov
ernment secret service men.
The incident is one Of the boldest
such strokes in recent months, COM
parable to snatching an American
from a noontime crowd on Broad
way.
And in the little Kiangsi town Of
Changshan, an old woman-the
mother of notorious Tai Ii, long
head Of China's secret service who
was killed in plane crash two years
ago-still asks plaintively, when
will my son come home?"
She has been spared the shock OF
knowing he is dead, for his former
associates write her letters In his
name and say he is busy with i'm
portant business in the capital.
These two incidents, unimportant
in themselves, are reasons why
the Chinese public regards with
apathy today's proclamation OF a
new Chinese constitution. Its first
"a articles guarantee the freedom
and rights Of the individual; but
the Shanghai kidnapping and the
legend of Tai LIS closely-knit
secret police offer little assurance
of any real change.
DR.. HUI Shih, noted educator and
former Ambassador to the United

BY the Assoeioted Press

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. 3.-A group
of % speedsters, among them the

Another top flight skater was
Mario Trefeli of Detroit, who won
the mems senior title in the North
American championships two weeks
ago at Detroit but who failed to
place in the national event.

Cerdan Gamers Third
Ring Title for France
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Feb. 3.-France boasted
three European boxing champion
ships today, two of them gained
over the week end.
Marcel Cerdan solidified his claim
to the middleweight title here last
night when he knocked out Leon
Fouquet, Belgian champion, in 2:06
of the first round of their scheduled
IS round bout.
Britain's boxing fraternity looks
upon Vince Hawkins as the principal
middleweight challenger. A bout
between Cerdan and Hawkins has
been set tentatively for April, but
British and French boxing interests
have not agreed definitely on the
match.
Cerdan, his eye cooked on an
other trip to the United States and
a possible match with Tony Zale
for the world middleweight title,
lived up to his reputation as a
smasher in disposing of Fouquet.
Robert Villemain brought the
European welterweight crown to
France by his slashing round tri-
umph over Ernie Roderick of Liver
pool, who failed to come out for
the 10th round in their title bout
here Saturday night.
Theo Medina won the bantam
weight title from Britain's Jackie

Mccarthy Is Rumored
Headed for Red Sox
In Return 10 Game
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The hottest
rumor at the baseball writers dinner
which climaxed the weekend meet
ings of the major league executives,
was that Joe Mccarthy, former
manager of the New York Yankees
would join the Boston Red Sox this
coming season either as a coach or
in the front Office.
Although all parties concerned de-
clined to comment, it was under
stood that the Red Sox began dick
ering with Mccarthy not long after
Marse Joe quit as manager of the
Yankees last June.
Mccarthy, who attended the din
ner, did not affirm or deny the re-
port, but admitted he would "be
happy to return to baseball if the
right offer presented itself"
The guess is that Mccarthy may
replace Eddie Collins as general
manager of the Sox. Collins, work.
ing in the dual capacity as vice
president and general manager, has
been in i'll health of late. He is so
years old.
Collins, whose great exploits on
the diamond with the Chicago
White Sox and Philadelphia Ath-
letics won him a place in baseball's s
Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, at
tended the confabs here, but did not
attend the dinner last night be-
cause he was Ill.
Joe Cronin, field manager of the
Red Sox, when reached at his home
in Boston, also denied any knowl-
edge of McCarthy's Joining the or
ganization. He disclosed, however,
that he had received a phone call
from Mccarthy, but added that Joe
merely inquired over the health Of
his wife. Mrs. Cronin is recovering
from an illness.
Tom Yawkey. president of the Sox,
is on vacation and could not be
reached. 1t was believed that his
return was awaited before any Off
cial announcement is made.

KERRVIILE, Tex, Feb. 3.-Seven
changes will be carried in the foot
ball rules book next fall, but their
application will bring little notice
from the fans.
The Rules Committee OF the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Council
wound up its first meeting in Texas
Yesterday with few important re-
visions. The major ones were:
Liberalization of the substitution
rule whereby each team may send
in a player while the ball is dead
although time still is IN.
Barred the so-called running shift
bv ruling that a shift play which
Stimulates regular play will be pen
allied as false start.
Bible Halls Substitution Rule.
D. x. Bible of the University OF
of Texas, rounding out quarter OF
q century on the committee and in
whose honor the meeting was held In
this State, said he thought the sub
stitution rule would make for much
better football. "It will mean that
many boys will get to play who 9TH
erwise would not because a coach
can put in his specialist to meet the
occasion at hand through use of this
rule" Bible said.
Chairman William ]. Bingham of
Harvard said the running shift,
which served to pull team offside,
had caused bitter protests in some
sections. "In Virginia and the Car
olinas feeling is so bitter some of the
people arc + even speaking to each
other" he -,nn1ented.
