FLAG FAVORITES Moran and Carrigan Have Pitchers Other Contenders Lack for Final Drive i fote Both Ways r After some discussion It was decided to Weir the whistle aa aoon aa the Illegal pars trtt discovered Just as noon as the ball left the tasserM hand Then after some swre dlscussloh. It was decided NOT to MeVfte whUtle until the Way was over Hd fWe the other Bide a chance. With time two rullngn staring them' In the face, sWodldalJ found that , everything was'Jeft In tsetr Hands, and it was up to them to gtel4,vrhen they should declare the ball PAftd. It was asrrccd amonsr the officials plemselres after the meeting to wait until the play whistle. Another point brooiht up wa on punts and forward passes oat at bounds. If the catcher's foot Is oatslde, the ball In do eUred eat of bound, whether It be a punt or forward pate. If a player la lilt by a punt an the fly while In that podtlon, and the bait bound batk Into the field of play, It elinU be ruled out of bound and not a fumble. A forward pais which htta a Player, bounds batk Into the field of play and la cautht by another player alio will be called out ot bound. If, liowerer. a bounding ball with the exception of a forward paa hlta a man who I out of bouad, It shall be regarded aa a fumble and belonta to the man who get It Drat. Thl clears up a Tery dlfflcult point and should be remembered. A fair catch caught out ot bounds Is NOT a fair catch, and the ball goes to the other aide on the spot where It croraed the efde llnea. In other words. It Is the position of the feet, not the ball, which determines the legality of the play. The Onslde Kick An onttde kick out ot bounds also goes to the other side, and an onslde kick which goen over the goat line on the fly la a touch-buck. In Rule XVII, Section 2 (b) on page 1SS, strike out the last six words, "or player who Is carrying It" and make the penalty fifteen jards Instead of Ave yards. If a foul Is made by the defensive team after the ball ta declared dead by the ref eree, the penalty shall be Inflicted the same an If the nhlslle had not blown. To make this clear, here Is an example: Team A has the ball, fourth down anQ (He yards to gain. A play la run off, but only three yards are made. The referee blows his whistle, elves tho ball to the other aide, but before the ball changes hands a player on Team D Is guilty of unnecessary rough ness, sudh as piling up. Now, the ball has been declared dead and the foul did not In terfere with the adancement of the ball, aa It occurred after the play had been com pleted. Acccfdlng to the rule as, tbey are printed In the book the ball should go to the other side, with a 15-yard penalty, mak ing It flrt down, 25 yard to gain.. lint the rules do not count In this case. It was held by Messrs. Camp, Lnngford and Tufts that the other tide should b punished for ranking a foul and the penalty enforced from the spot where the foul ocensl'ed. Thus the team which failed to make Us distance reti (irtccn yards and first down. This I another point that should be remembered. Backfleld men, with the exception of the quarterback, must be at leaBt one yard back of the line of scrimmage when the ball Is put Into play. This does not mean on forward-pass formations only, but for every play. Last year Foster Sanford lined his backs close to the linemen when Rut gers plaed Princeton, and Dill Langford, the referee, called the play Illegal. Lnngford was upheld Saturday night, and from now on the rule will bo enforced. The men must be one yard back, whether they are to tako the ball, go out for a forward pass or run In Interference. Before this It was the popular belief that the one-yard rulo held good only In caso of a forward pass formation. These wero the only discussions, and as there wtll be no pink slips sent out this jear to notify the officials and coabhes throughout the country of the changes, It might be well to make the changes In your rule book now.

RICHTEU Thn 'grand recovery of the Phillies on Saturday was just another example ot the fighting quality ot Moran's team and local fans are Inclined to believe that the Na tional League champtons aro going to make another whlrldwlnd finish. Just as they did a year ago. The If IK spurt started ten days earlier, but the Phils finished with plenty to spare and In every Important series during the last three weeks ot the season were at their best, Only three weeks remain for the Phillies to overcome Brooklyn's lead ot one and a half games, and Indications are that ,the team winning the pennant will not clinch the flag until the final week of the season, unless the Braves slip back and the Dodgers lose so many games that the result of the Phllly-Brooklyn series will have no dtroct bearing on the final result. Such a thing Is hardly likely to happen, as the West Is woefully weak If the Pirates are not any stronger than the Cardinals and Cubs. East vs. East t. Louis got an even break with the Phillies because Moran's team was In a slump and the Cubs really look like a better team, but they1 will have to show far more than they did on Saturday to put the Dodgers out of the race a pet ambition of Manager Joe Tinker. It looks very much aa If the final East vs. Kast battle will de cide the Issue, as none of the leading trio Is likely to gain more than a game or two at the expense ot the Western teams. The American League race Is even more uncertain than the battle In Tener'a cir cuit, but we still aro Inclined to favor the fled Sox, even It the world's champions do fall a game or two behind, the Tigers and White Sox before returning to the Hast. Sox Pitching Good Bostci has great pitching and should have smoclh sailing In the, East. Only a decisive defeat In a series In the West can put them out of the running, and the Tigers and White Sox hae not the pitching to make a clean Bweep from Carrlgan'a team. Dopesters are pointing out that the lied Sox pitching staff has cracked, simply because "Dutch" Leonard was badly beaten by the White Sox In the first game of tho scries, but figures proe otherwise. Including yesterday's game, only twenty one runs were made off Carrlgan'a pitchers In six games last week, which Is a better record than the Detroit and Chicago pitch ers could make, and tne Tigers naa tne Athletics for their opponents the greater part ot the week. Rowland and Jennings have been using three and four pitchers a day and an average of at least twehe for a week of six games, whereas Carrigan sel dom has called upon a relief pitcher, unless Is was a second-Btrtng man. When the real drive starts nnd It Is necessary to clinch games with weaker op ponents, Carrigan will have a smooth-running pitching staff, while Detroit and Chi cago probably will find their pitchers wob bling badly and games will be lost that should result In easy victories. Phil Hurlers "Were Poor The Phllly pitchers had their worst week of the season, thirty-one runs being tallied by their opponents In seven games. The Brooklyn and Boston pitchers were more effective, sixteen runs being scored against the Braves in six games, while only twenty were made off the Brooklyn hurlers In seven games Moran has Alexander and Itlxey In prime shape, tho latter having pitched only five Innings since last Monday, and he feels that he la better prepared for the drive than either Brooklyn or Boston, as Al Demaree also continues to pitch consistent ball. If It comes to a battle of pitchers the Phillies are better eoulnned than either Brooklyn or Boston, despite the fact that the Phllly staff cracked badly against .New lorn ana est. Louis. , In order to make a clean sweep of 'the series Manager Moran plans to use Eppa ntrv lhl afternoon and Alexander, the Great, again tomorrow, and 'unless one of the Cubs' hurlers has an unusually good day, the Phils should be able to grab both games. Big Jim Vaughn probably will be Tinker's pitching choice today, Tomorrow's Tournaments and Today's Tec Talk . Qnsllfjln- round, elthtren bete.

In th nnala O MAD.fr By SANDY McNIBLICK Ills workday schedule calls for Chick Evans, Cxar of American links, to wind up his vacation today and return to his office In his 6wn home town of Chicago. The United State open and amateur golf cham pion will continue to golf for the rest of the season, but Chick does not expect to do much more than wsolc-end work. He has had a strenuous time of It for the last two weeks and wanta to rest up. Many large fotcs havo been planned for the re turning faorlto son. Ills own club, Qdge water, plans to present him with a memorial of hh triumphs, nnd this Is only one of the functions at which tho little conqueror will be acclaimed by the assembled multitude. Now that all tho fireworks around the Merlon arena hae died down, the old king ot amateurs dethroned and all the talent of the country been seen In action, tho one ngalnst the other, fans throughout the land are discussing the chances of Evans re taining his honors through the rigors ot .nnother hard title contest It Is agreed in nearly an quarters mat he will. Chicle's winning of the champion ship Is not n case of a golfer who has been well known In golf annals annexing the crown. It Is rather the case of the coun try's best player coming Into his own at last. Rtann has had a distressing time ot It up to this jear In his strenuous efforts to come Into the ambition and dream of his heart. He has been put out heretofore In most championships by the first good man that crossed his path. But there was noth ing like that In tho boutlng at Merlon He absolutely swamped John O. Anderson, finalist last year, and had Bob Gardner, the defending champion, nearest tho brink of nothing all the time In the all-day finals, bo that there was little doubt of the ulti mate decision. I Without doubt It was thd winning of the open championship earlier in the year that gave Chick the 'Confidence necessary to carry htm through the amateur. He had nevor won either of the classics up to this year, and when he showed the best profes sionals ot the country the way at Mini kahda, he realized that his sun had risen. He says he never had a doubt that he was going to win the amateur after that. There Is no one that shines In the American golf field today as does the double cham pion, not because ot the titles that are his, but because ot the golf he has shown. Ills only weakness Ms on the greens, and It Is doubtful whether his putting will bother him much longer. The reason Evans Is 'said to be a poor putter Is because he takes so many putts from the spots where he generally lays his ball on the greens. He Is the best artist at placing his approaches on the flag among the amateurs. A good putter would be able to sink an even number of them with the misses. Chick can take two putts from twelve feet away better than any other ot the great golfers of the land. If he Is on the edge ot the green he Is clever at three putts. If he could sink his long ones with any certainty. Instead of just on a lucky chance, no golfer would have a chance with him. 0mm Glassboro Schedule Is Out OLABSHORO, N.
