A?' NEW brown felt hat was pushed around the corner of our desk this morn
XX ing Underneath was a smiling face set on a rotund body, both fuce and
botly bclonsliiK to none other than I.eon L. Itains, boxing impresario and
prominent official of the Olympia A. A. ,

tfej desk and removed the Maekln. "To provo its importance, I deliberately

t through the entire morning. Mr. Hains was highly excited and very
eeiious. He wanted nothing but a story on his now boing club, which has
bcin built among the ashes of the old iilacc. which was de!trocd by Are n J
jnOnths ago. In nsking for a storj Mr. Hains acted with his usual becoming
modesty.
J However, judging from the descriptive and highly illuminating conversa
tion, tho Olympia will be one of the boxing pa'accs of the world and a credit
to (Philadelphia. There will be seats for 4400, in the gallery and on tho
ground lloor. lint this is not all. Smoking rooms have been provided and
thl customers who have no interest in certain bouts will be spared the agony
ofj'sitting through them.
, The best tiling about the place is a disappearing ring. This is operated
by1 pulleys and raised Into position before tho show. If it is lowered every
time a bum right is put on. the invention will be a great help and a big suc
cess. The posts will be of bra, filled with concrete, and in place of ropes
heavy white rubber will be used. This Is expected to prevent rope burns on
th fighters because there will be no ropes. Rubber burns will take their place.
J "I wish to announce," oaid Mr. ltains, when the opportunity presented
itott, "that the opening show will be held on September 20, and Joe Uenjaiulti
and Joe Tlplltz will be in the wind-up. Hilly Augelo and Johnny Drummle
nre in the n-mi and the other bouts will be good. Our idea Is to ubc home
talent as much as possible. We will hnve stars when we can get them, but
the local bojs will have first call. Herman Taj lor, one of the best match
makers in the country, will fee to that."
i President Ernest Jnmbor has hit upon a unique scheme to introduce
the new club to the public. On next Frlda night 4000 guests have been
invited to attend a boxing show. Several bouts will be put on and a battle
royal will be featured.
PHILADELPHIA is the hoxing center of the tcorld and the game
has been flourishing for more than 100 years. The new club should
j bring added prestige to the city.
Leo Comcay Will Promote Football This Fall
PHILADELPHIA will hae another independent football team this year.
IIelnie Miller, Lou Little, Lud Wray, Johnny Scott and other former
college gridiron stars will be on the job again and will be ably assisted by
many others, dames will be plajcd at the Phillies' ball park on Saturdays
ami holidays, the season op'-ning on October 22.
i, Leo Conway, the boy manager, has dusted oil his shin guards and is In
shape to handle' the business end of the proposition. Leo made a great hit
last year, and It was main! through his work that the independent game was
"Wo have a great line-up for this fall," he said. "In addition to
Miller Little, Wrav nnd Scott, we have Swede Youngstrom, of Dartmouth ;
White- Thomas of State; Hill Ward, of Pcnn; Spagna, of Lehigh; Joe
Ddssoit, who captained Dartmouth in 1017; Anderson, of Colgate; Stan Cofall,
ot Notre Dame: Red Roderick, of Hcston College; Sam Webb, the sensa
tional fullback from Stevens, and Nig Herry.
"As the season progresses we will have other stars and the public will
be, given the best football they eer have seen. The games last fall wore suc
cessful because everybody knew the game and the players made few mistakes.
In, fact, they made tho game look easy.
' "The season will open on October 22 at the Phils' park against one of
tho strong locul teams. Then we go away on the 29th and play here again
on Election Day. We do not intend to run in opposition to the University
of Pennsylvania. We will play games In November, but nil of the big ones
m scheduled for December. Wo will meet Shenandoah. Coaldale, Washington
Ftold Club. Frankford. Holmeburg, Canton, Akron, Thorpe's Toledo team,
Atlantic City and Conshobocken.
"There is one thing I want to impress on you," continued Conway, "nnd
that is we will not use any players who now are In college, we will not solicit
their services, and if an college football player tries to negotiate with us I
will notify his coach. Indepindent football will be played by men who have
left school and are playing because they like the game. They have Just as
much Tight to Indulge in the sport as any one else and are in training now.
"The big games will be played in December. Jim Thorpe will be in
Toledo and has a great team. Canton also is in the field with most of last
year's stars, and the Akron eleven, last year's champions, are said to be
better than ever before. These attractions will bo staged after the college
season closes on Thanksgiving Day. The weather hero Is not too cold in
December nnd the public will support a team.
$ "We will be known as tho Union A. A. of Philadelphia, nnd anybody
desiring games either here or out of town should get into communication with
bm as soon as possible."
'i
JUIR. COXWAY has the right idea regarding Independent football.
f ,lfl It is perfectly proper for the former start to continue playing
f after leaving college, hut no college athlete should be approached.
h College football is the biggcit sport in the fall, but there is room
S for the independents.
$ Rules Will Be Interpreted Tomorroiv Night
IJIOOTBALL plavcrs, managers, coaches nnd officials principally the latter
JBj will meet in New York tomorrow night at the nnnunl Interpretation meet
In. This is held for the benefit of those who have read the rules and still
d6 not know what they arc all about. Many points nre made clear, new defi
nitions handed out and everybody In the place will have a more thorough
understanding when tho meeting adjourns.
tjt For years most officials found it difficult to interpret the rules regarding
the forward pnss, but through these meetings the code has been simplified and
seldom does an intricate nmstion come up in the games. One of the tough
rulings was on an illegal forward paBS n pass which was made from a spot
less than five yards bemud the scrimmage, ihere alwavs was an argument
og-.tlils ploy if nn opponent intercepted the paRS and made a long run, but
.Mb has been eliminated. The ball Is dead and ruled the same as nn Incom
pleted pass In other words, the referee may blow his whistle immediately
after the illegal pass has been made.
I The rule which den's with shift plays Is likely to cause a lot of troubl
unless it is defined iror-rl. I nst year shifts were not used very much in
the big games, hut it wl'l be different this season. The coaches realize they
are given more liberties nnd will take ndvantage of them.
Only one sentence is used to cover one of the most Important plays in
football. Here It Is- "A p'ayer shall not bo ruled in motion if he has both
fept stationary in the ground."
$ In other word-- if the bakfiold men jump forward, land on both feet
simultaneously and while the bodies nre going forward, start tho play, there
rtjn be no ruling for offside. Everyboilv ran be in motion if the feet nre sta
ti6nnry on tho ground, even for a fruition of a second. This might be all
right, but It doesn't sound good. The opposing coaih will have n lot to lny
about stnrting before the bull and the officials will find themselves in a con
tinuous jam.
...
TIIIH rule and several others trill he interpreted, and it is hoped
that tome clear definition trill he made. It trtl fjt-c a lot of
trouble later on.

GERWiANTOWN HAS
HIGH-CLASS SQUAD
High School This Season
Should Develop Best Foot
ball Team in Years
OPENS WITH CAMDEN HIGH
By PAUL PKEP
Germantown High School students
have a feeling that their eleven will
be one of the best that has represented
the Green and White institution in
many moons.
True, no predictions nro being made
by Hie youngsters, but with four of
Inst season's nggrcgrutlon bnck nnd
Gene Barrett, of bnscbitll fame, out for
the team nnd performing brilllnntly.
they hnve formed opinions that are erj
optimistic.
Conch Fred Miller has had his candi
dates out in the school yard every after
noon this week. The practices hnve
been verv successful, nnd after turning
a critical eye on them, a member of the
faculty said :
"The material this season Is better
thnn we hnvo had in many years and
the eleven should be the snmc."
Al Rhond, the crnck center, will cap
tain the aggregation this year and he
should mako u good lender. He knows
the pnmo, is good on both offensive and
defensivo work, und best of all. has the
boys pulling for him to make good as
a puot.
Johnny Kauffman. of bnehill fnme.
is once again to be the fulbnek. The
big feljow is in grent condition nnd Is '
punting nnd passing in aplendid form.
As to his plunging nnd end running,
scrimmages have not yet started, so
nothing can be snid about him along this
line.
Ashby, formerly of Frankford High,
nnd Lungren. who also plays on the
bnvebnll and basketball teams, will be
the halfbacks. Both of these boys know
how to play the bnckfield a littlo better
thnn nverngo, and will work in well
with Knufmnn.
Gene Bnrrett, captain of the baseball
team, is the real find of the institution
this srnson. Ho enn cither play end or
quarterback. As thero is no one on the
squad at tho present time, Gene will
probably be used as the signal caller.
Nine games will be played by the team
this year. The first of these will be
fnmuii. flO Tim A..- .... .... Unl
schedule, outside of the Interscholastic
League games, are as follows:
October T St Jneoh'. nnv
Noifmber Colllnnwood ltlnh, away.
N'oi ember It Norrljtonn High, away.
Trenton High Drills
Word conies from Treuton High
School that the initial practice was held
on Tuesday. Close to fifty cnndldutcs
reported, nnd Conches Armstrong nnd
Short gavo them nn interesting talk on
plans for the coming year.
Of twenty-one letter men from last
yacr only eight are expected to return,
Slamin. MoKenzlo. llerricn, Hoppe,
Mlshclish, Ertel, Emmons nnd Thorn
being the ones who will most likely be
been in a Red and Black uniform ngain.
Flestal. Lefkowitz. Bodenwcier, A.
Miller, Fnrrell. E. Connors, Hlllynrd.
Bloor and M Donald, new members of
the squad, also look to have the goods.
HARRISBURG MAY ENTER
Likely to Be Eight Clubs In Eastern
Basketball League
Harrisburg may be represented in tho
Eastern Basketball League after all.
Gordon Ford recently passed up the
franchise. Harry Weber, who has been
identified with ease snort In tho pnnitnl
for many years, came forward and made
n bid for tho franchise.
He has been practically awarded the
same, but is looking for iilncru heforo
announcing any definite plans". The only
ones on tno list tor Harrisburg are
Glasco, Lawrence, Cashman, Francklo
and one other, all remnnnts of the
powciftil Germantown mnchtne. All tho
stars. Hnlmnn, Brugg. Ripley nnd
Meehnn, have been awarded elsewhere.
Weber was in this city lust cven'ng
and had a tall; with some of tho nlavers
in question nnd has promised to give
nn answer some time today as to
whether tho team will enter the league.
ANOTHER FOR HATCH
Motorists Have Not Been Defeated
In Last Nine Games
The Hatch Motor Company, of the
Philadelphia Manufacturers' Baseball
League, defeated Art Loom, of the
Manufacturers' League, last evening by
the score of 0 to 1. It marked the ninth
successive game in which Hatch has
not been beaten.
Tho victory was one of tho best of
the season, ns the Hatch wrecking crow

Coach Johnson, of Frankford,
and Lou Hayes, of Holmes
burg, Not to Steal Players
OPEN SEASON OCTOBER 1
The Frankford Yellowjackcfj will
hold their second football practice of the
season tomorrow afternoon on Brown's
Field, Oxford Pike. Fifty candidates
answered the first cnll of Coach George
Johnson at the initial workout, and
the crld mentor of the Yellowjackets
confined the nfternoon's toll to n light
signal drill, but while the men were in
uniform for several hours the work was
of a very light rature.
Hut fifteen dajs now rcmnin until the
opening game with the All-I'hlladelphla
eleven on October 1, and Johnson in
tends to put his athletes through a pro
gram of intensive training beginning to
morrow afternoon when tho first scrim
mage of the season will be held.
Johnson has nlready familiarized him
self with the ability of his- proteges nnd
legards the material at hand tho very
best that Frankford has ever had. The
lollowjnckets have not as et an
nounced the full personnel of their
eleven and it Is likely that Manager
Howard Uowker will make nn interest
ing announcement within the next ten
dnj s.
Independent sports in Philadelphia
have reached a high stage these nays.
iruiuig I'injers is a lavorlte pastime,
but poor sportsmanship, and while on
the subject it may be well to note that
Lou Hayes, conch of Holmesburg, held
n conference with George Johnson last
evening and the pair signed a gentle
man's agreement not to toMi nnv of
the players thev have signed at any tim.
during the season.
This is a move in the right direc
tion and will benefit the fans, ns they
will not see a group of players with
one team this week and the same bunch
in the opponents line-up tho following
week. Howard Uowker has worked
nam during tho idle months nnd has
provided the Yellowjackets' coach with
n galaw of stars.
Trankford residents ore back of the,
team, and n mass-meeting will be hold
Wednesday, September 21, at tho
Frankford Library, at which tlmo the
football association will disclose its
full plans for the season. Tho citizens
of Frankford want the championship
this season, nnd will spare no means to
secure the same.
