"Indeed I will liave to attend the ceremonies to-morrow noon—pro viding. of course. I get an invitation. It certainly was mean of that commit « tee to not remember me with an In vitation, but then I didn't even know that I was coming to Harrisburg my self until last Friday, so of course the committee isn't so much to blame af ter all."

IS. Additional i [trials in tield events and a Federation I J standard were two important changes i agreed upon yesterday at a joint con ference meeting of the officials of the Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic As sociation of America and the execu tive and advisory committee of that organization, held yesterday. Seven amendments to the constitu-! tion and by-laws will he presented at I the annual meeting May 6. One of the most substantial changes ' offered was to increase the number i of trials in the broad jump and weight i events from three to six, but these are | to be taken in groups of two each. ! | In the high jump and pole vault the ! contestants can have all three tries in | succession at each height, or wait in I turn as the rule now allows. In many instances the rules will be amended so as to conform with the rules adopted by the international fed eration. The running track is to be measured 12 inches instead of 19 inches from the curb and all imple ments are to be in conformity with the international federation standard. International rules are to govern all relay races. In putting the shot or throwing the hammer each competi tor is to repiain within the circle un til the throw is marked. Heretofore penalties were inflicted | in cases of fouls occurring during the trials or semifinals of races, but it will be recommended that in future the referee will have the discretionary power of ordering such trial or semi final run over again. Another sugges tion is that the starter be given the power to recall a race by firing a sec ond shot. To insure accuracy in the running broad jump it will be advised that sand be sprinkled on the ground for a space of six inches beyond the take off. so that in case of overstepping the shoe marks may be more clearly shown. The amendments to prevent freshmen from competing in cham pionship events was not offered, but it is understood will come later.

President Gaffney, of the Boston Braves, is back in town after having spent two weeks hunting and being hunted on George Stallings' plantation at Haddocks, Gi. He gave out the interesting line of reasoning used by George Whitted in effort to keep from being sent to the Pflillips in the Sherwood Magee trade. Whitted wants $3,000 more salary if he plays outside Boston than if he plays in Boston, according to Mr. Gaffney. for he figures that will be about the size of his share in the next world's series.
