Speaking .of Sports SP00000000VPVPIIIPPINS Well, another Meriden player is reported as deserting and coming back to the New Britain eleven, The latest acquisition is O'Leary. The boys are practicing: falthtully for the Waterbury team Sunday, and it they contlnue to improve Mulli- gan will indeed have a blue team when the final whistle blowa. Included among the 10,000 boys who will see the Yale-Brown game as guests of the university will be a good sized delegation from this city. o Kelly of the Glants is rater the most versatile player in the Natlonal ague. In the recent world serles he played the outfield, second and first base against the Nationals and did a good job of it. He is also a dangerous batsman. Penn State loges flve stars of last yéar in Wilson, Bedenk, Schuster, Frank and Palm, There was no better running back in the east last year than Wilson. Several times he saved Penn by long runs through a broken fleld. Harold (Red) Grange, star back of the Illinois eleven, was picked last year for 1923 All-American football honors. There was no ob- jection. There could be none, In the Illinois-Michigan game Saturday, Grange displayed what an All- American football player is. In that game Grange scored five touch- downs. Today Grange is the out- standing football player in the country, Lawrence Perry, noted football expert, is withholding final Judgment on Grange, he says, until he sées what Grange can do against a pair of good ends, but the major- ity of football fans are ready to rate Grange with the super-stars of the game. In the game with Michigan, Grange made four touchdowns in less than 12 minutés of play, he broke away for successive runs of ninety, sixty- five, fifty-five and forty-five yards for touchdowns, and he carried the ball in twenty-one plays for 402 yards. Grange is twenty-two years old. He made the All-American team in his sophomore year. This is his sccond big time season. Last year, he made a notable record, for, in seven games, he gained 1,260 yards and twelve touchdowns. This rec- ord never has been equalled in the Western Conference. Yet, he is in position this geason ta better his own mark. Grange scored two against Butler a week ago Saturday, making a total of seven in two games. When the football rules commit- tee decided to eliminate the tee last winter, they expected to speed up the games, but now that the season of 1924 is well on its way there are any number of coaches ready to go on record in opposition to the new rule, An effort will be made at the ciose of the season to bring about the abolition of the rule and substi- tute the old one. Coaches agree that the rule makers, in changing the kick-off rule, have eliminated the finest featurg of football, Until this year, the kick-off was made from the forty-yard line in the Kkicker's territory, This means that the ball had to travel sixty yards to cross the opponents’ goal line. Kickers with power and drive in their legs did the kicking. Some kicked the ball high in the air for distances of from forty-five to fifty-five yards. This gave their teammates an opportunity to get down under the punt and bring the receiver in his tracks. Under the old rules, the recelver would fall in running back the bail, a spectacu- lar play. With no tees this year, most of the kickers are finding it impossible to send the ball high in the air. A low kick travels fast and this is & handicap to the kicker's side. Tne players on the team, kicking oft have no time to get down the field under present conditions. Fast and clever receivers are finding it easy to make runs of some distance after kick-off this season. In Saturday's games, two players took Kick-ofs and ran the remaining distance for touchdowng One expert suggests that as the rule now stands the teams might just as well toss a coin to see which one will put the ball in play from serimmage on its own twenty-yard line to start the game. y City bowliff league will be reorganized at a meeting Sunday afternoon in Odd Fellows' . Broughman, sec- y, announced today. Whether there will be any changes in the rostcr of clubs, the secretary was unable to say. “There are reports that the G. Y.

The race was the closest in the history of the league, the G. Y.

Worcester, New Haven and possibly Pittsfield, it has been rumored, would desert the Eastern league next year, but Weiss today makes it known that under no condition will New Haven pass from the KEastern league, “New Haven,” sald Weiss, in a statement denying that the franchise would be shifted, s one of the backbones of the cir- cuit, It is the largest city in the lcague, it has the best and largest park, It New Haven does not operate it ean only mean there will be no league.” ‘Weiss added that with the excep- tion of this secason New Haven has been one of the circuit's leaders in attendance, although there have been times when it felt the fans of New Haven were a bit backward in view of the class of ball offered.

Boston, Oct. 22, = Attempts to eliminate commodity rates on rail- road shipments have had a dis- couraging effect on industrial ex- pansion in New England, and to some extent at least the building of plants In the south and elsewhere in New England has been due to continual threats of withdrawal of subnormal rates, Edgar J, Rich, general and transportation counsel of the assoclated industries of Mass- , said at its annual meeting To raflroad traffic officials, he sald the responsibility to preserve the present system of rate-making, under which New England has pros- pered, sted with them, rather than with thé interstate commerce com- mission. “By your repeated efforts to eliminate these industrial rates you have to some extent prevented the expansion of industry in New England,” the speaker said. Addressing himself to the presi- dents and directors of the New Eng- land railroads, Mr. Rich declared they were justified In reducing serv- ice if the reduction did not result in loss of traffic, adding: “The crux of the railroad problem, however, is not operating economy, but traffie efficiency. x x x x the New Eng- land railroads are never going to be saved unless traffic is maintained and increased. Discussing thrift, W. I. Bullard, vice-president of the Merchants Na- tional bank, remarked that if Columbus had invested one dollar at five per cent compound interest when he discovered America, that dollar would now amount to $1,- 842,679,000 Miss Agnes Donharh, speaking of industrial savings plans, said that “no man should be urged to save to the point where life be- comes all drudgery and self denia The speaker discussed the most effi- cient way by which employers might encourage workers to set aside part of their earnings regularly, advising them that the gravest fear which workers have is that having proved their ability to save the wage will be cut as a consequence.
