PLAYING ™ RULES ARE CHANGED Will Give Only Three Points For "Fluke" Touchdown Now. At the annual meeting of the On- tario Rughy Football Union som® very drastic changes were made in the playing rules, but the majority of them will undoubtedly receive the support of all interested. Although the meeting was not quite as large as was expected there were sufficient there to ensure a spirited discussion on every point raised. Officers were elected and some changes made in the rules that should go a long way toward clear- ing up the disputed points. Perhaps the most important change was one that should meet with everybody's anproval, when it was decided that a team working up the ball and ecross- ing their opponents' line should gain more points than the team that take advantage of their opponents' mis- take to secure a try. The rule amended now reads: "A try scored by a player crossing his opponents' goal line with the hall in his possession and retaining posses- sion, stops it so that it is dead, counts five points A try scored through an error of the opposing side and when behind the BQpieline, shall count three points." Another change is as follows "A player must not deliberately delay the receiving or picking up of ball. This means that a player must pick up the ball at once. It this is not done, the penalty will be the loss of the distance, but not the loss of pos- session Should the ball have pass ed over the goal line, it must be taken out ten yards and scrimmaged Another rule makes it clear just line of scrimmage. The amended rule says that it must be one yard apart. § The following change is for the guidance of players and spectators alike. In scrimmaging the ball it must be placed on the ground by one of the scrimmagers, and then put in motion in any direction by the scrimmager." eee British Become Clever Boxers. New York Sun: The defeat of some of .our leading boxers by the British cousins in the tournament in London is taking fistic followers by surprise. They are wondering wheth- er. the Britons have developed flock of boxing wonders or whether our boys were so slowed up by the service in the trenches.and in the navy that they are unequal to the task of coping with their more nim- ble opponents. However, there must be an explanation in the fact that cables from London speak of a "new set of rules." Just what these rules are we know not, but suffice it to say that our boys are not finding them of great benefit. Said an edi- torial in the London Times yester- day: "There never has been, since the beginning of the world, a boxing tournament to compare with this. The rules will do much to redeem what is realy a noble, primitive sport from its old unworthy associations." Ottawa Wants Nighbor. Definite word as to Frank Nighbor is expected within a day or two by the Ottawa Hockey Club. A request for the discharge of Nighbor or for his release on leave for the dura- tion of the hockey season has been sent to Brigadier-General Hoare, of- ficer commanding the Royal Air Force at Toronto, to which Nighbor is attached in the mechanical branch. Many prominent Canadian athle- tes, including Frankie Fleming and Alex. Currie, have been given their walking tickets by the R.A.F. with- in the past few weeks. apd in Nigh- bor's case no difficulty should be ex- perienced. Alf. Smith said that if the Ottawas failed to get Nighbor it would alter completely his plans for the placing of the red, white and black team during the coming season. Nighbor is ready to leave for Ottawa on the first train after he receives permis- sion. Canadian League Pitcher Pead William ("Wild Bill") Baker, the former London Canadian League baseball pitcher, died of pneumonia at No. 36 Clearing Station in France. Wild Bill hurled sensational ball with the St. Thomas club in 1914, and later played with his home town club in the Canadian League. His last game here was against the De- troit Tigers in 1915 and it was dur ing this game that he distinguished himself by striking out Sam Craw- ford with the bases full.

David Fultz, president of the Baseball Players' Federation, is now mentioned as the next president of the new International League. There is a move in progress to merge with the American Association and dis sension among the club owners is said to be spreading. The passing of the veteran "Pat" Moran as manager of the Phillies, comes as no surprise. "The owners of the ¢lub have been rather hard, and baseball fams extend their sympathy to "Pat." The owners disposed of all his good players and then expected him to bring the Phils home in front Right now the Phillies have very few friends in the Quaker City.
