Put Bail in Play
~ on 30-Yard Line
After a Safety
New York, March 12—Change of the
'• rule governing a safety and a toff*
_gestion bearing oh the etattie of offl
*" rials who take part in professional
games were made at the anneal meet
ing of the football rueU commutes,
- which closed here today.
Hereafter, after a safety, the ball
will be put In play on the 10 yard Ube
instead of the M yard line. The el*
tcratlon was made because of the
' -difficulty of spectators in differentia*
ting between a safety and a touch
back.
The committee suggested to the
central board of officials, which has
charge of selecting officials for games
-• that after the season of 1921, no col
lege official who shall officiate in a
professional game shall be eligible for
any further college football contests.
These were the outstanding chang
es and recommendations made, al
thouh there were*a number of minor
^Iterations in the code for the pur
pose of clarifying the rules or check
ing certain plays.
It was ruled that in the future the
referee shall toss the coin for the
call of the opening pla,y of a game
: and the winning captain, having
named his choice of such play, can
not revoke such decision.
In an effort to curtail "clipping” or
cutting down of a player from behind
the committee elaborated the rule of
unnecessary roughness to include
running into, diving or throwing the
body against a player obviously out
of the play .either before or after the
ball is dead. The penalty, which
stands as a loss of 15 yards, was ex
tended to include such loss on the
kick-off following ,a touchdown in
cac such score should result in the
play in which the penalty was in
curred. No objection was raised to
such play where the player thrown
is taking part in the play.
PLAN CANDLEPIN
TITLE ROLL-OFF
Plans for a big elimination tourna
ment for the State candlepin cham
pionship in which bowlers from any
part of Maine would be eligible to
compete are announced by the man
agement of the Bowlodrome alleys in
Portland. According to the program
already mapped out there will be a
handsome gold medal awarded to the
winner, and sizable cash prizes .for
second, third and fourth place win
ners in the final standing. With the
f-rack sharp shooters in action from
all the candlepin centers in the
State the winner over the field of con
tenders will earn a title which will
really mean something more than j
can possibly be decided in various in- >
dividual matches where the compe-l
tition is limited to two rival bowlers. :
The matches will be rolled at the
Bowlodrome lanes and the dates will
’ be announced within a short time as
soon as the tentative plans are com
pleted. In all probability the tourna
ment dates* will be fixed so as to fur
• nish a spectacular windup of the
present season.

HARRY (KIO) DREW
K. O. Kxouae of Milwaukee who
will mix with Harry (•’Kid") Drew in
a twin six as the main bout at “Spin"
McGuire’s big boxing show which will
be staged in City ball on Friday
evening, March 18th, arrived in Bos
ton, Saturday sight to start training
for the show in this city. When it
was learned that he was to visit the
east, be received several fine offers,
among the game to appear before
one of the big clubs in this State,
but be will devote his attention to
McGuire’s show as he realises that
he will meet one of the toughest lads
in the game in Drew who is from Bid
deford, and who has trimmed such
men as K. O. Elkins of Boston, Kid
Dube of Lewiston and sent Charles
(Kid) Miller of Boston to dreamland
in the 10th.
A bantam scramble that will be a
wbizzer will be staged between Ed
die Polo of Winslow and Joe La
Rocbe of Lewiston as a semi-final of
six rounds. Polo has apepared be
fore the local fans several times,
and has always given a real show. He
has a great many friends on the Im
perial Kennebec who will be at the
ringside to give him a hand.
La Roche can travel at top speed
and is a great favorite with the Spin
dle City ring enthusiasts. He will
give the best he has and Polo will
know that he had his feet on the can
vas when the bout is over.
Two more bouts of six sizzling ses
sions have been arranged by Promo
tor McGuire: Young Wall of Hallow
ell mixing things with Young George
Gilbert of Augusta while Young Le
Claire of the Onpital City will collide
with Dottie Marr, (“The Pride of
Glenview”). Both matches promise
to be interesting from start to finish.
Harry Scars will be the
third man inside the hemps which
means that the show will be run off
on schedule time and that things wjlf
be kept moving.
Tickets for the fray are on sale at

BOYS’ BASKETBALL
Interesting Games in Sunday School
League Played Saturday After
noon
Another excellent exhibition of bas
ketball was given at the Augusta "Y”
gymnasium on Saturday afternoon,
consisting of a doubleheader. In the
ftrst game, the St. Barnabas boys
trimmed the Congregational five by a
score of 16 to 6, while in the second
contest the Unlversaliat lads defeated
thq boys of St. Mark's to the tune of
18 to 2. The St. Mark's boys were
outweighed and outclassed. A goodly
number of fans were on hand to wit

Morse, l&agor and
Edward Little to
Enter Tufts Tourney
Edward Llttlft High Of Auburn,
Mofrse High of Bath and" Bahgor
High, have been picked as the
schools to represent Maine at the
HeW England championship basket
ball tourney at Tufts college on Fri
day and Saturday of this week. The
selections were made by William E.
O’Connell of the Portland Athletic
dub, who is the Mains rsprsssnta
tivs on the tournament commute*
The final selection was deferred
until Saturday, until the result of the
Bangor High-Portland High game
could be taken into account. Any
claims that Portland might have
were wiped out by this contest,
which Bangor won by the over
whelming score of 48 tp 15. Ed
ward Little was picked as first
choice, and was notified on Friday
of their selection.
It was originally stated that but
two teams from a State would be se
lected, but the contests were so
close that the committee, of which
C. P. Houston,'•physical director of
Tufts, is chairman, decided to allow
a little more latitude. Almost all
the states are likely to be repre
sented by more than two teams.
The victorious team will be de
cided by elimination. In the pre
liminary games, 15 minute periods
will be played, but in the finals and
semi-finals the teams will play full
20 minute halves. The winning team
will have its name inscribed' on a
three-year cup given by Austin B.
Fletcher, and this trophy will be
come the property of any school
winning it three years.
There probably will be little dis
sension from the selections or Mr.
O’Connell, who is a recognized bas
ketball authority, and who has made
the most thorough and painstaking
effort to make a fair choice. Ed
ward Little High is generally recog
nized as the premier five amongst
high schools. Bangor is ,undefeat
ed by a high school team this year,
and Morse has lost but two con
tests, one each to the other two
champions. Edward Little and
Bangor. After losing to the Auburn
team, however, Morse turned the
tables. Bangor and Edward Little
never have met—Sunday Telegram.

! Boston Auto Show Is
i Now In Full Swing
Another Boston Automobile Show
—the nineteenth annual—opened
Saturday afternoon in Mechanics
Building. In a more gorgeous and
brilliant dress than any that have
gone into history is the 1921 show.
More comprehensive and more va
ried is the exhibition of motor cars,
trucks, and accessories that cover
125,000 feet of space.
Travel the world over and no where
will one find anything more worth
while in motor ears, trucks, and ac
cessories than is to be found on exhi
bition in Mechanics Building. There
are cars for every pocketbook, trucks
for every line of commercial endeavor
and motor equipment that is even in
advance of the latest to be shown on
the hundreds of bright new models.
Ninety odd different makes of pas
senger ears ai;e bn exhibition, almost
sixty makes of trucks and four hun
dred separate exhibits of accesso
ries is in brief the story of this cbl
lossal display.
The staging of the 1921 Boston Alt'1
, tomobile Show is the- most elaborate
and artistically rendered of any sim1
liar exposition in this country. Not
Only is the design one of startling
beauty and richness but the materials
used are of a quality and value nev
er before seen. A small army of ar
tisans have for months been engaged
in the preparation under the direc
tion of E. W. Campbell, architect of
the show.
Although there are no radical me
chanical or body changes to be note<£
in the hundreds of passenger cars
that are on exhibition yet there are
more improvements than have been
on any car in the past six years. The
engineers and designers apparently
got together with the idea of making
one clean sweep of the ills that have
befogged the motorists.
The 1921 cars are more comforta
ble, there Is greater accessibility’ and
the work of the driver is simplified.
In many eases it would take an ex
pert to note the changes and im
provements but they are all there and
all in all the ear of this year Is the
most perfect that has been pro
duced. The tops are much better in
construction, the side curtans fit so
tight that in bad weather one Is as
well protected as In a closed car.
What betterments have been made
are of a conservatve character.
Radicalism was discarded by the
manufacturer years ago. It will be
noticed that the stream lines are
more pronounced, running in several
Instances from the radiator hood
right back to the rear seat, but for
the most part the body designs are
little changed, except as to their
beauty.
MONTH’S DELAY

Chicago White Sox."
That will be one of the contentions
of the defense when the eight Chica
go White Sox players indicted on
charges of throwing the series and
accepting bribes are brought to trial
here tomorrow.
While the complete plans of the
defense will not be known until the
trial begins, attorneys already have
announced that they will contend
that the indicted players never in
tentionally made misplays and con
sequently could not have taken part
in a conspiracy.

in their confessions to the grand Jury
which investigated the series, main
tained they had played their best,
confessing only to receiving money
and to discussing the throwing of
games. Cicotte confessed to hitting
Rath, the first man' up in the first
game, purposely, but said he played
his best after that.' The other play
ers denied either throwing games,
entering into the conspiracy or re
ceiving iponey.
The defense will be prepared to sub
mit the play by play account of the
series, which shows that Chicago
; won its‘three gaipes largely through
| the feats of some of te indicted play
: ers. In reply, the state plans to point
[out that Cincinnati won its five
! games through hard hitting of two
! ihdicted pitchers and below par play
| ing of other indicted men.
j, The story of the series shows that
jin the first game, Cincinnati scored
I in the first inning after Cicotte hit
I Rath—deliberately, he told the grand
| Jury.
j Jackson, Felsch and Gandil, indict
! ed players, produced a run which tied
the score in the second inning. Jack
son was safe on an error, Felsch
, sacrificed and Uandil s single scored
Jackson.
In the fo'ur, Cincinnati drove Ci
cotte, who confessed to receiving $10,
000 to throw games, out of the box
j and produced five runs. Cincinnati
won, 9 to 0.
I Cincinnati won the second game, 4
l to 2, Williams, the other pitcher who
! confessed to receiving money, walked
two men in the second and a single
apd triple scored three runs for Cin
cinnati. Aother walk, followed by a
single and a sacrifice produced a run
in the sixth.
j Weaver, who was indicted, doubled
in the sixth for Chicago. Jackson,
,the third player who confessed,
fanned, but Felsch, another indict
! ed man, hit one far out into the field.
; A sensational catch by Rouscli pre
j vented a Chicago run.
Chicago's two runs came in the
seventh when, Risberg, charged with
tuning part of the conspiracy,
singled, Schalk singled and both
scored on Neale’s wild throw. In the
ninth Gandil singled but Risberg hit
| into a double play. ^
The third game was won from
‘ Chicago through the defensive work
of Dick Kerr, who pitched, and the
offensive work of the indicted play
ers. In the second inning Jackson
singled, Felsch bunted safely and
both scored on Gandil's hit. In the
fourth Risberg singled and went to
third when the ball got awav.
Schalk’s butt fielded slowly by Fish
er, scored Risberg for the third and
final run.
Cicotte pitched the fourth game
for Chicago, losing 2 to 0, his own
errors being responsible for both the
National Leaguer’s runs. In the
fourth inning Cicbtte threw wild to
tirct, muffled a throw from Jackson
and allowed two hits for two runs.
In the fifth Vamc Filer shut out
the White Sox o to 0. In the first
inning Leibold walked, Collins went
out and Weaver singled. With two
on Felsch and Jackson filed out.
With two out in the ninth Weaver
tripled, but Jackson could not score
him. Chicago had no other chances
to score. Williams pitched f®r Chi
cago.
in me sixiu inning Eller hit be
tween Felsch and Jackson and whid
was described at the time as clow
fielding by the pair gave him an ex
tra base. Bath singled scoring El
ler. Daubert sacrificed, Groh
walked, and Felsch misjudged
Rpusch’s fly, letting it drop for a
triple which scored two more runs.
The indicted players did not figure
in any other scoring.
The accused players won the
sixth game by their ln<,Jvjdual work,
bringing a 5 to 4 ten-inning victory
to the Sox with Kerr pitching.
Felsch's extraordinary catch of
Rousch’s fly in the first, cut off a
Cincinati run and in the fourth Jack
son threw out a man at the plate
for a double play. •
Weaver dropped a pop fly in short
center for a single in the sixth, get
ting second on it. Jackson scored
him with a hit and Felsch doubled,
scoring Jackson, Gandil flied out.
The game was decided in the
tenth when Weaver again hit a Bhort
fly for a single getting to second
when the ball bounded away from
Duncan. Jackson bunted safely and
Felsch fanned. Gandil s ingled
through the pitcher, scoring Weaver.
Risberg lined to ICopf for a double
play.
The seventh game was another
Chicago victory in which the eight
men charged with throwing the
series figured. Jackson scored J.
Collins with singles in the first and
third innings. later, with E. Collins
on first. Weaver was safe on a fum
ble. Jackson apparently hit into a
double play but the ball bounded up
and hit Rath and the bases were
full. Felsch singled, scoring two
runs b,ut Gandil was an easy out and
Risberg fanned.
The eighth game found the Reds
hitting Williams with ease and
knocking him out in the first inn
ing. The score was 10 to 5 for Cin
cinnati, Jackson hit a homer with
the basce empty in the third.
