MAJOR LEAGUE SEASON OPENS NEXT MONDAY Four Teams In Action Monday, Balance Start Play Following Day New York, Apr 11. — (U.R>* — The northward treks of the major lea-1, gue baseball clubs and a confer-1 ence to decide whether War Ad-, niiral and Seabiscuit will meet in J a match race at Belmont park, are j the top interests in the coming , sports week. The long baseball training season 1 ends with next Sunday s exhibition 1 games. On the following day the ’ American league season gets un- ' der way with New York s Yankees playing at Boston and Philadelphia 1 meeting Washington in Washing-. ‘ ton. One week from tomorrow all 1 1 major league clubs will be in ac- I tion. Looks like trouble ahead for the I world champion New York Yankees. No. 1 Yankee problem is Di Maggio. Joe still is very much un-1 signed, and seems to be equally un- , worried. There seems to be no in-. dication that the Dimag has an intentions of coming to New York until Yankee owner Col. Jake Rup- j pert sends for him. The United Press baseball ex-1 pert. George Kirksey, got an in- • terview with Col. Ruppert and; George says that this DiMaggio j impasse is anything but ballyhoo. ' , Ruppert, he says, is deadly ser-1 ( ious in his decision not to raise i 1 DlMaggio's salary offef from $25,-. 000 "by so much as a single button off my vest." Joe wants $40.000. One cinch bet is that it will , * be Hoag in center for he Yanks ' one week from today. Another Yankee problem is short-, stop. Frankie Crosetti has a pain- 1 ful charleyhorse and it s doubtful he will be a starter. Two other 1 1 shortstops are out with ailments. ' 1 Billy Rogell of the Detroit Tigers 1 has an infection which will keep i 1 him out of the opener, and Luke , 1 Appling. Chicago White Sox regu- 1 Jar. is out indefinitely with a frac ■

PRO FOOTBALL I RULES CHANGED National League Professional Rule Changes Are Made Sunday Pittsburgh, April 11 — (U.P) Coaches and owners of national league professional football teams went home today after making five new professional football rules designed to protect players and pep up what already is considered the most spe< tacular of gridiron games i The five changes, decided upon I at an early Sunday meeting of the league's five-man rules committee: 1 — Empowers the referee to penalize, at his own discretion, deliberate roughing of a passer after the ball has left his hands. 2— Puts into play on the receiv-j ing eleven's 45-yaid line un out-of-bounds kickoff. This change was designed to stop intentional out-of-bounds kickoffs. 3— Makes incomplete forward passes into the end zone not automatic touchbacks. except on fourth down. 4— Permits the sending of as many as two players back into the game in the fourth quarter, al-I though the same two players had ' been relieved by substitutes in I, the same period. 5— Makes all penalties inflicted' I on defending teams within the tenj yard line, one-half the distance to !the goal The new rules will go into effect at the start of the 1938 season. The five members of the league rules committee are: Chairman George Halas. Chicago Bears; Steve Owen. New York Giants; Bert Bell. Philadelphia Eagles; George (Potsy) Clark. Brooklyn • Dodgers, and Earl (Curly) Lain-' I beau. Green Ray Packers. CHICAGO HAWKS BEAT TORONTO; Blackhawks. Badly ( rip- ) pled, Take Lead In Hockey Series Chicago.

STOCKBROKER : IS SENTENCED Richard Whitney Sentenced To Five To 10 Years In Prison New York, Apr. 11.—<U.R) Richard Whitney, former president of | the New York stock exchange, was i sentenced today to from five to 10 | years in prison for stealing secur- | ities belonging to relatives and his former associates in the highest j financial circles of the nation. Earlier. State Attorney General; John J. Bennett had made it known I that he would issue a permanent j injunction forbidding Whitney ever to engage in the securities business ' again. General Session Judge Owen Bohan gave Whitney, once bond' broker for the powerful house of : Morgan, the same sentence on each of two indiements for grand larceny. He ordered, however, that the two terms should run concurr- j ently after hearing an eloquent plea , for mercy from Charles H. Tuttle. Whitney's lawyer. "I will remind your honor,' Tuttle said, "that there is joy in , Heaven over the repentance of one | , transgressor." Tuttle was referring to the fact I that Whitney had pleaded guilty and had cooperated with five gov- . ernmental agencies which investigated the affairs of Richard Whit- : , ney and Company.
