Farrell tpnited Press Staff Correspondent! New York, Apiil 12,—"Take your lehoiee and get the best price you can." New York betting commissioners advise those whs want to speculate on the results of th<* Major League pennant races starting tomorrow. With four teams standing as actual contenders in each of the two big leagues, sentiment is so evenly divided that very little big betting has been reported in the. financial district. The champion Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Giants are the ranking favorites in the National League and they are almo’-t even money either way. In addition to partisan supporters antfmany smart baseball critics the Pirates will have the backing cf the casual fans who like to string along with a champion bua'the Giants will have a lot of support from those who have seen the pitchers that John McGraw has developed. Tho Ameri an league presents a first class guessing contest with tho champion Washington Senators, the -youthful Philadelphia Athletics and the revived New’ York Yankees figuring most prominently. The St. Louis Browns and even the Chicago White Sox are also attracting and only the Cleveland Indians and the Boston Red Sox are figured as being out of the reckoning entirely. Some opinion rates the Senators as being too old, the Athletics as being too young and the Yankees as being too green, but the Senators are favored because of their experience, their balance and their smart direction. The Pirates will be handicapped at the start with Max Carey and Eddie Moore on the bench and Pie Traynor ailing .but ton much stress should not be laid on this as the Pirates came through last fall after a most miserable get-away. . | The Giants are in first class condition—if they escape ill-effects from the exposure yesterday in Washington —and they ought to get the jump and the flying start that John McGraw has urged upon the players. The Cincinnati Reds are also handicapped behind the bat with Bubbles Hargrave out of the game but he is expected to be ready for duty within a weekor so. The ranking American League clubs are all in good condition and there can be no excuse for a floundering start. q Fair Weather To Mark Opening Os Baseball Season Chicago, April 12—(United Press) — Fair weather will mark the opening of the 1926 baseball season in the middlewest, the United States weather bureau here forecast today.

CHANGES MADE IN BRIDGE RULES I I . 1 I .“Laws Os Auction Bridge, 1926” Include Changes In Scoring Methods Now York, April US-Even for those of us who constantly have to ask "what's trumps?" there is much of interest in the new "latws of Auction • Bridge, 1926" which will govern the ' game us played in the United States during the current year. ' In drawing up the new rules, the 1 Whist club, recognized authority on auction bridge, has aimed to simplify and clarify the game. Aside from the method of scaring honor-, the changes from last year's I rules are not radical? It is in the mutter of trump and no trump honors that even those who reduce their bridge to its simplest form must take! I notice. i I Since last Monday, April 5. when’ the new •laws became effective, no; difference between suits is recognized! when it comes time to score trump hon. ors. , "Simple honors” count 30 point sN whatever the trump. Four honors divided, 40 points; five diveded. 50 points. Four honors in one hand count 80 points ;fcur in one hand and fifth in partners, 90 points; five in one hand. 100 points. "No trump." honors remain unchanged. as does the scoring of tricks. The purpose of this change is to eliminate further the difference between suits, an aim of bridge lawmakers since the days when spades ( were 2. clubs 4. diamonds 6, and hearts 8. and "no trump" as yet unheard of. The effect of the change is to decrease the advantage of the player who happens to pick up a good hand of spades instead of clubs, and to greatly simplify the honor score and facilitate addition. Under the new laws, the revoke < penalty for either is: Two tricks for its first revoke; one trick for each subsequent revoke (if any.) 1 . These tricks are taken at the end of the hand from the tricks of the revoking side and added to the tricks of the other side. They count exactly as if won in play and may assist the declarer to ( make his cantract or to go game, or ( may assist the adversaries to defeat contract, in whi h case they carry ( full bonus values. If they make a: total of 12 or 13 tricks for either side, they carry the proper slam bonus. The following is important, as it ' constitutes an important change: j ( “After surrendering these tricks. , the revoking side may s< ere for its remaining tricks as It would if it had , not revoked.” Heretofore, the r »?-’ that a , declarer who had revoked was not < permitted to make his contract. There is no provision in the 1926 laws tor an optional honor score penalty. Two tricks must be taken for the first revoke and one for each sub- ' sequent revoke. I o- ; Crimson Baseball And Tennis Teams Get Busy Bloomington, Ind., April 13. —Indiana University's baseball and tennis teams will open the season's schedule here Wednesday afternoon when the diamond nine clashes with Del'auw and the tennis team meets State Nor-! mal. Coach Dean has found it difficult to', whip h.s baseball players into condition due to unfavorable weather and injuries. Pete Hall, short stop and leading hitter of the club, sustained a s n vere injury while on tho southern training trip and will be out of the lineup for some time. This necessitates a shifting of players. The I. U. mentor has been forced to work his nine inside most of the time this spring and Indiana's full strength will not be realized until ■ the conference schedule is underway. Workmen have been busy the past few days in erecting bleachers on Jor- • dan Field tor the opening bail tussle. If the weather man behaves a while, the diamond will be In good shape. • Jordan Field dries quickly and unless : more rain falls it will be in condition -for fait play Wednesday afternoon. State Normal is expected to furnish Crimson racquet players stiff opposi1 tion. The Terre Haute team is made ■ up of veteran material while Indir. ana’s Is more cf an experiment at ;■ this time. Coach Hayes is driving his track and field team in an effort to bring n back some blue ribbons from the Ohio n State relays Saturday afternoon.

MARSHALS TO GUARD POLLS Federal Government Moves To Prevent Violence In Illinois Primary By Max Buckingham I (United Press Staff-Correspondent) I Chicago, April 12. —The federal gc.?-' ' ernment took action today la make the polls safe for voters tomorrow when 500 special United States marshals were assigned to duty at tho Illinois state-wide primaries. Most of th m will guard polls in Chicago anil suburbs. Action by the government came after the week-end had seen one ik>litical worker slain in Chicago in the midst of the bitter fight for state ' offices and for the nomination for United States senate candidate. The man killed was a worker for the Chicago republican organization which is directed by State's Attorney E. Crowe. To Furnish Special Police In addition to government agents, the police department will furnish special patrols to guard voters. Election officials were busy over the week-end conferring on safety plans for the coming election. In addition to the one slaying they were investigating the slugging of a precinct judge and clerk. While tho “making elections safe" plans were under way, candidates were smashing into their last minute plans for tho nomination. Most -of the senatorial candidates have finished thoir campaigns and are resting today. In a final statement issued from the offices of Senator William B. McKinley, and Colonel Frank M. Smith, candidate- fur the republican nomination. both claimed victory. Smith workers advised that their candidate's vicious fight against American adherence to the World Court and other policies of the national administration, had won for him a victory in down-state Illinois. McKinley, backing the entire national administration, has won handily, crc.i tiding to his managers amt the only question now arising is the one of just how much of a majority he will pile up. There has been the most spirited contest this year, far outshadowing any of the state nominations. The vote will be a sure test of the national administration's strength in Illinois as the issue has been confined absolutely to national administration policies. George E. Brennan, Cook county democi atic leader, is considered almost a sure winner in the first of the democratic nomination in the senate. While he is opposed by two candidates, neither has made an active campaign. Brennan ha scaried his appeal to the voters on an out and out wet ticket, disregarding all other issues. + ♦♦♦+♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ + v SPORT TABS + 4--l-4.e> + + + + + + + + 4> + + TOLEDO, Q—The Chicago White Sox won from the Toledo team of the American Asftoei<iti|On, 6-4. in their last game of the training trip and leave hero this afternoon for Chicago.
