SUNDAY, JANUARY 31, 1926 ADDITIONAL SPORTS | NEARLY 100 REVISIONS ADOPTED IN PLAYING RULES OF DIAMOND Authorization of Use of Resin on Ball and Change in Sacrifice Fly Code Are Major Alterations. NEW YORK, Jan. 80.—(P)—Revision and clarifica- tion df playing rules was finished here today after the joint rules committee of the major and minor baseball leagues had written almost 100 changes into the code. Most of the amendments necessitated only slight modi- fications to meet possible contingencies, the outstanding change making sacrifice flies effec- tiva in all cases where runners are advanced a base. Hitherto a sacri- fice has been allowed on a fly ball hit when a runner scored after the catch. New pitching regulations to per- mit the use of resin, approved by the committee yesterday, were writ- ten into the rules today, requiring that “under the supervision and control of the umpire, the pitcher may use, to dry his hands, a small finely meshed bag containing pow- dered resin, furnished by the league.” No application of the resin to the ball will be permitted, the committee announced. Balls hit into grand stands, to count as home runs in the future, must travel 250 feet, an increase of 15 feet over the former limit. Major league parks, however, will not be affected by the change. Coaching boxes at first and third bases were reduced to 15 foot rect- angles, The rest period between double headers was increased from 10 to 15 minutes, Winning home runs in the last half of the ninth are to be scored as four base hits only if the batsman completes the clir- cult. It was explained by the com- mittee that in some games last year, where mere singles were required to win, batters who had driven the ball into the stands touched only first base and then ran to the club house. HELEN DERIES BREAKING RULES BY WRITING NEWS STORIES BUT WORRY SLOWS UP HER GAME CANNES, France, Jan. 30.—(?) Helen Wills won three matches in the Gallia tennis tournament today, ut her play plainly showed the ef- fects of her perturbation over mes- sages from New York intimating that her amateur standing might be jeopardized by her writing for Amer- jean newspapers. In the morning she had consider- able difficulty in defeating Mrs, Hi lock of Norfolk, England, in the wo- men’s singles, 9-7 6-2, but her after- noon play showed !mprovement and she joined her partner in the mixed doubles, Jack Hilliard of England, in dispesing of Miss Evelyn Jones and Felix Poulin, 6-1, 6-3; and Mile. Ro- sine Viasto and the Hon. F. M. B. Fischer, 6-1, 6-1. The two mixed doubles victories places the Will» Hillard team in the semi-finals. ‘When the American champion was shown telegrams from New York, quoting Jones W. Mersereau, presi- dent of the United States Lawn Ten- nis association, and saying that her amateur standing might be endang- ered under the association's “player- writer” rule, she said: “I am per- fectly satisfied that I am living up to the spirit and letter of the ‘player- writer’ rule. The articles I hav been writing do not contain a single reference to the present tournament. My stories are intended to | young players to learn the techni paints of the game.

(EADS REARS INGITA8 Gal) TRIN Wilson Fails to Show Stellar Form with Portland Team —(F). PORTLAND, Ore., Jan, Red Grange and his Chicago B overwhelmed a team of Pacific west players here today, 60 to the first professional football sa ever played here. A crowd. of 5,000 persons saw the eastern professfonals romp over the Portland eleven at will Wilson, ex-University of Washing ton gridiron star, was in the Port land Mneup for part of the ga put with ‘little support was unable to shine as did his redheaded oppo nent, Grange. Grange carried the ball 18 times from scrimmage formations in the first half, until he retired with a minor injury. He gained a total of 93 yard He tossed one forward yards and received two pass others, one for 16 yards and the other for seven yards Wilson, in| 11 scrimmage plays gained 63 yards, one of them © plunge through tackle for 30 yards ‘The Bears loafed through most of the game, as their opposition was unable to function except for indl- vidual brilliant plays. The committee hit at violation of the international pass rule from an unusual angle, taking steps to pre- vent the issuing of bases on balls through throwing the ball to a base- man, rather than to the catcher. The amended rule now reads that with the batsman in his proper position, “the ball should not be thrown by the pitcher to any player other than the catcher—except in an attempt to retire a base runner.” If re peated after warnings by the um- pire, the rule adds, the pitcher shall be removed from the game. Another change provides that no substitutions shall be made while the ball is in play, complaint hay- ing been made by a minor league club that a player substituted for a catcher jifst as the ball was thrown to the plate by the pitcher, made a foul fly catch near the dugout. Delay of an hour and a half in @ game last year resulted in a rule amendment deleting the clause giv. ing the umpire permission to pro- long contests after a 30 minute in- termission on account of rain. The rule now reads that at the end of a half hour, the “umpire shall have authority to end the game." Hurlers who make wild pitches on third strikes will no longer be cred- ited with strike outs. Furthermore, under a change made today, they will be credited with errors or such misplays, where the batter reaches first base. selves when my first article is pub- Ushed, in about a week.” Riviera newspapers, prominently displaying the New York telegrams, interviewed Miss Wills just before she went'on the courts to face Mrs. Haylock, and this had a direct ef- fect on her tennis, She played poor- ly, and barely managed to pull out a victory over a player whom she was expected to defeat without los- ing more than four games. After luncheon, however, she ral- led, and played 2 much improved game in the two matches she and Hilliard won in the mixed doubles. Miss Wills announced today that he will not enter the singles in the Nice tournament opening Monday be- cause the comparatiyely dead Eng: lish ball is to be used.

H., brought from Lieut. Commander S. 8. Yeandle, of Washington, an outspoken critt- cism of “those insidious forces which seek to undermine the morale of the service.” ‘The eight men were sentenced for offenses ranging from disobedience to smuggling. Lieutenant Commander Yeandle, who {g second In command of the coast guard, sald the guardsmen find it easier to fate the bullets of the rum runners and the perils of the sea, than to bear the taunts and jibes of their companions ashore. It {s this condition which makes the lack of enthusiasm a big problem in the coast guard, he believes, and causes some of the men to accept the ever present offers of rum run- ners, ‘The guardsmen go to sea in small 70-foot boats, Lieutenant Comman- der Yeandle pointed out. The boats pitch badly, tossed by giant waves. Sleep or hot meals are tmpossible. Night after night the ofl skin clad figures keep their silent vigil under the stars, For hours they Ile plung: ing about, prey for stinging spray and chilling winds. After days of tuls they return to port to be greeted with such epl- thets as “booze gobs,” and “rum navy men.” “It is the lack of public support that is doing the most harm to the morale of the coast guard,” Lieuten- ant Commander Yeandle said, “Espe- cially 1s this true in the so-called wet communities along the Atlantic t. “Coast guardsmen stationed at the picket boat house at andy Hook complain that their wiv are fre- quently insulted on ir way to the stores at Atlantic Highlands, J. Other coast guardsmen from Base 2 on Staten island, have been deliberately assaulted ashore. At New London, Conn., a coast guard sailor murdered in cold blood, His slayer has never been appre hended.” The ease with which owners of rum boats secure their release after capture also was aited by Lieuten- ant Yeandle as a cause for the loss of sast guard morale in the requently,” he said, “when rol boat brings in a prise, at torneys are at the dock to secure its release. If it is held by the author! tles and sold later the rum runners buy it back, In at least one ins the same boat has been capt six different times with contra band.” ee TIRE EXPERT CAUTIONS AUTOISTS AGAINST USE QF RECLAIMED ABBR BY TOM HAYMOND Present high cost of crude rub- ber due to the monopoly of England on the raw material makes it a critical period for the motorist in the selection of his tires. Many large companies have built rubber reclaiming plants for the purpose of ufacturing tires from old cas- ings which have been disearded by the car owners. It is best to choose your tires from among the best established companies. Tires must stand more abuse in this section of the country than in any other. They are drive longer and over rough stony ronda, In Firestone tires the motorist will find a tire with no reclaimed rub- ber and with 100 per cent service. At the automobile show the Mire- fone equipped cars displayed will show rubber less than six weeks out of the Akron factory.
