Speaking of Sports The action of the managers of the teams in the Senior City baseball league last night in changing the rules so that all games starting at 2 o'clock on Saturday afternoons at Walnut Hill park will be finishad regardless of the time and the sec- ond games will go to seven innings, will eliminate all disappointmerts or the part of players and fans re. garding tie contest Last Saturday afternoon the Bur- ritts and Pirates had to withdraw | from Diamond No. 2 with the score tied in the eignth inning because the league rule stated that the first games must be finished by 4 o'clocik. It looked almost a certainty that either one or the other team would bave won in another inning because both pitchers were cracking badly. Fans and players protested alike over the untimely ending of the game but the rule was adhered to. In the future, all games will go at least nine innings. If the score is tied at this time, play will continue until a decision is reached. second game will be a seven inning contest no marter at what time the contest starts. More important, probably, than the change in rules is the rule laid down at the insistence of Commis- sioner James J. Naughton that, no matter what is going on, the umpires will be required to start the game no later than 2:05 o'clock. The ar- biters will call the two captains to- gether at 2 o'clock and will discuss the ground rules and the games will gét underway five minutes later. There will be no exception to this | rule, but we are willing to bet that games are started on time, be, only in very few cases, play very much past 4 o'clock. From an observer's the trouble with the Saturday games has been that they never were start- ed until 2:25 or 2:30 o'clock. Over zealous coaches have required that tr plavers go through batting prac they start the game. 1n There is absolutely no this major league business. team should have a round of ground need for and fly balls but they can save their | hitting for the real times at b: This leads us to the conditions sur- rcunding the start of the second game. There has been so much dilly dallying at the second “game that they don't get started until 4:30 and sometimes later. We would suggest that the umpires be empowered o start the second game no later than 15 minutes after the first game is finished. This would give the teams smple time for fielding practice and for their pitchers to warm up and get all preliminaries over. This would also eliminate the en- durance contests forced upon faas and officials alike of remaining ot Walnut Hill park Saturdays from 2 ©o'clock until the ev g shadows fall. The Pirates will practice tomor- row evening at 6 o'clock on Dia- mond No. 1 at Walnut Hill park. All ylayvers are requested to be on hand. The New Britain Machine Stanley Rule Level game sched- uled for Thursday night, will not be played, ording to an announce- This was scheduled on dfamond No. 1.

CHOCOLATE SEES " BATTALINO WORK Two Boxers Express Fagerness to Meet Each Other in Ring Hartford, July 8—Bat Battalino, the world's featherweight champion, | who trained three days at Gus Wil- | son’s camp at Orangeburg, N. Y., for his title bout with Ignacio Fernan- | dez at the Hurley Stadium nnxli Monday night, went through his | paces under the observing eye of the | great colored fighter, Kid Chocolate. Chocolate, slated to meet Jacki Berg in one of the interesting ring cvents of the outdoor season, is up | there keeping fit and he displayel more than passing interest in the | | workouts of the featherweight champion. The original schedule had Bas- | talino slated to defend his title against the “Cuban Flash,” but the match was not ccnsummated. Cho- | colate claims he wanted it and the | Battalino camp would not take it, | while Battalino says it was the one | great desire with him, but that Cho- colate refused to sign for it. Just what the merits of this dis- pute none knows except the parti>s concerned and their managers, but |it is known that Battalino had ar- | |ranged to go to New York from | | Fittsburgh, after his bout with Vic | Burrone, to sign for a defense of the | title against Chocolate when he re- | ceived word that Chocolate had been | injurcd in an automobile accident and that the scheduled meeting at Jess McMahon's offices in New Yo! was off Chocolate unbosomed himself to a { boxing writer one of the New day; he had impres- 1t champion. i1 he would is summer him a return match |in a couple of weeks if he wante1l |it.

On the other hand, confident he can defe | ever they con en him figl hat he felt he Battalino is | It isn't too rash a prediction that |they may come tog before | summer runs its cours DARTHOUTH GOACH - HAS NEW HURDLE Tnvention Designed fo Reduoe‘ l Danger of Falls and Injuries | gl New York, July § (A—A new hurdle designed to reduce the dan- ger of bad falls and injuries in | |hurdle racing was announced today by Harry Hillman, Dartmouth col- | lege track coach | The improvement is the result lot a year's work and experimenta- tion by Earl Thompson, Naval Academy coach; Harold Barron, Georgia Tech mentor, and Hillman, all star hurdlers in their day. The design presented by this commit- | tee has been accepted by the Asso- ciation of Track Coaches of Amer- lica and also bw the International | Athle: Federation which means at the hurdle undoubtedly will be used in future Olympic competi- tion. As explained by Hillman, the dif- ference is that the hurdle now fin use has the upright in the center of the case so that ,in falling, the top of the hurdle rises more than two inches. The new design, which | places the upright one-third the dis- tance from the front of the base, | will reduce this rise to less than | one-half inch. | “If the hurdler struck the pres- ent hurdle with his knee,” Hillman pointed out, “by the time his rear foot came over the height would be over two inches higher and naturally the runner would either | hit the hurdle very hard or trip and fall. | “Many hurdlers have been in- | jured on account of this and others have been eliminated in important | races. Nichols, the Stanford hurdler, undoubtedly would have made the last Olympic team but he hit one of the hurdles and it threw him while in the lead. Baskin, the southern | hurdler, met the same fate. Monte | Wells of Dartmouth received a bad injury at the indoor New York A. C. games during the winter previous to the Olympic tryouts and could not compete for six months."
