By Eddie Ash Pro Gridders Seek to Speed Up Game • • m Leaguers to Differ with College Code

'I'HE National Professional Football League, growing rapidly in a big way, is going to operate this year under rules different in some important respects*to the intercollegiate grid code. As one means of speeding up the game the forward passer in pro games* won’t be compelled to go five yards back of the line of scrimmage before propelling the leather. He may throw it the instant he is in possession. This will lead to more alert defensive play and less time lost on a play when the offense uses the toss. Another thing, it is said the paid grid performers are not going to follow the colleges on the sideline rule. This year the rah rah elevens will be permitted to take the ball ten yards in without loss of down when the leather lands near the sidelines. The pros believe it takes smart football sometimes to put the ball in that spot and smart football to get out of that hole and they are going to leave the old rule stand. a a a a a a A YOUNG Texan Pinky Higgins—through his air-tight defensive play and sensational offensive tactics in one year at third base, has almost made Philadelphia Athletics fans forget the brilliant Jimmy Dykes. When Connie Mack sold three of his star players—Al Simmons, Mule Haas and Dykes last winter. Philadelphia fans wondered how the As possibly could get along without Dykes. The shoes of Simmons and Haas would not be so difficult to fill, they figured. But Higgins changed their minds. With the season fading away, they can look at his record and see that he has the makings of a star. He has batted in the neighborhood of 320 and his runs batted in column is bevond 75. Dykes, wdth the White Sox. is batting about 278 and runs batted in under 60. nan ana TWO members of the Marquette university football squad, with full knowledge and consent of their coaches and the team physician, are training on beer this summer and expect to be in the proverbial "pink" when Sept 15 practice rolls around But no interior application of 3.2 has been recommended, officially. Co-Captain Rollie Halman, full back, and Floyd Ronzani. guard, are employed in a Milwaukee brewery and are tuning up muscles by loading kegs and cases. Oh, yes, and there is the proverbial iceman. Harry Knipp. a quarter back, is “on the wagon." ana a a a ARTHUR DE KUH. heavyweight pugilist, who has fought Jack Sharkey, Max Baer, Young Stribling and George Godfrey, among many others, is plaving the part of a night club bouncer in the film version of “Take a Chance ” The fighter stumbled into motion picture work by accident, being drafted for the films after a director in need of an underworld type, saw him fight. Since that time he has appeared in “The Life of Jimmy Dolan.' “Baby Face." "Rackety Rax," and “Madison Square Garden." De Kuh says the picture game "has it all over the ring.' You don't have to “catch" so many on the schnozzle, eh, Arthur? a a a a a a IF not Virginia Van Wie, then who? We mean in the women’s national golf championship tourney at Chicago next week. She is the defending champ. The Windy City girl will have a stiff field to battle against when she tees off. Foremost among the challengers for her title will be Enid Wilson. British titleholder; Helen Hicks, former women's champion; Maureen Orcutt and Lucille Robinson, who beat Virginia in the western. And don't overlook Elizabeth Dunn. Indianapolis, if she's on her game. Out of these. Helen Hteks is probably the most to be feared, and Miss Wilson, the English girl, is always a threat when she plays on American soil. Compared with Virginia Van Wie. the tennis girls, playing in "shorts.” are back numbers. Virginia, when somewhat of a tombov, played half oack with a boys' football team until she was injured. a a a o a a THE story in this column Monday, relating how a mischievous dog nearly broke up an amateur game at Douglass park by running away with the only ball available, drew a complaint. The complainant declares the ball snatched by the dog was not a foul, but was tossed over the crowd by a pitcher in a huff. That let’s bowwow out. Naturally, the canine thought the boys did not want the ball any more and were throwing it away. a a a a a a Answer to fan: In the eighteen-inning game played in New York on July 2.

Babe Herman A .103 batting average isn’t much for a clean-up batter. That’s Babe Herman s mark for the last eight games and the reason he has been retired (perhaps permanently) to the bench by Charlie Grimm, Chicago Cubs' manager. In the Bruins’ last eight games. Babe has collected just three singles in twenty-nine trips to the plate. His place in right field goes to Kiki Cuvier, with Riggs Stephenson. still ill. moving into left field. Grimm also indicated other changes would be made unless the Cubs snapped out of their slump. Billy Herman, young second sacker, may be the next to take a rest. It also was rumored the Bruins would do considerable rebuilding this winter, with Babe Herman, obtained from Cincinnati in a big deal last winter, one of the first slated to depart.

N. L. Fight for Second Plac£ Baffles Experts Blow-Torch Competition by Pirates, Cards, Braves and Cubs May Make or Break Pace-Setting Giants: Boston Looms as Real Threat. By United Pret* NEW YORK, Aug. 24;-The battle for Second place in the National League pennant race is so hot approaching the home stretch that writers in the circuit can not agree as to whether this blow-torch competition should menace or aid the leading New York Giants. Taking advantage of a rainy day which prevented play throughout the senior league, the writers investigated from all angles this second place situation which finds the runner-up Pittsburgh Pirates seven and a half games behind the Giants, but only one percentage point above the ! fast-stepping. Boston Braves. Boston, likewise, is only one percentage point above the St. Louis Cardinals. In other words Pittsburgh. Boston and St. Louis are virtually tied for the runner-up position and the Chicago Cubs are only half a game behind the Cardinals.

Most of the observers agree that the Giants, who have only fortythree games left to pkv\ have an advantage which could oe regarded as almost decisive. However, some still insist that because the Giants are an entirely defensive club, depending upon the combination of tight pitching and a tight infield. It is dangerous to regard them as “in” until they have clinched the pennant mathematically. A slump in either department might blast their lead in a hurry. Some of the experts believe that the four-cornered battle for second place hangs over the Giants menacingly because one club virtually is certain to spring ahead and take the lead if the Giants slump. However, others claim that even if the Giants falter, they are in little danger because these four so-called contenders have shown a special proficiency in knocking each other off, thereby preventing any single club from threatening the Giants. Right now, the Boston Braves appear the most dangerous of the quartet. They’re booming along sturdily. They’ve pounded their way up from the second division with thirteen wins in their last sixteen starts, while the Pirates, Cards and Cubs are floundering around. PERSIAN ON MAT CARD The Persian wrestler, Shiek Mar Elia, will meet Billy Steinlove in the feature bout of this week’s wrestling show at the South Meridian arena Friday night, according to Matchmaker Jjmmie McLeniore. He is also seeking a good opponent for Billy Love. Louisville star, in another feature bout.

Aug. 22.—New York s Yankees and the Chicago White Sox today held the distinction of having equalled the American League's longest tie game, eighteen innings, in addition to having played one of baseball’s most peculiar contests.
