(George Dauss. Hughie Jennings has let it be known that he has little hopes of adding to his
Pitching staff for 1920 chase and will depend upon George Dauss, Howard Ehmke, Dutch Leonard and Bernle Boland to do the bulk of his slab work in what Hughie believes is Detroit's year for the pennant. Jennings .and Detroit fans are expecting the veteran Dauss to lead the quartet again as he did last season the best in his big league career. Dauss, pitching his eighth campaign for the Jungaleers, hung up twenty-one victories last season while losing only nine games, an average of .700. He held the opposition to 3.65 runs a game which is all Hughie asks for his hurlers with the slugging team he has. George was born in Indianapolis In 1889 and broke into the pro game with Duluth in 1909. In 1911 the St. Paul AA club obtained his services from Duluth but after he had taken part In three games Bold him to Winona In the Minnesota-Wisconsin league, of which Duluth was a member. In 1912 Pittsburg obtained him but released him early in April to St. Paul. On August 29. 1912 he was sold to Detroit and finished the season with the Tigers. He was a winning hurler for Hughie every season excepting 1918 when he won thirteen and lost sixteen games. He was of little real use to the Tigers in 1915, however, being credited with only one game a victory. Last year Emke, Boland and Leonard ranked higher than George in the number of earned runs allowed but none of the three had as good a won and lost percentage.
EDITOR'S NOTE The folowlng amendments to the playing code of baseball were officially adopted by the joint rules committee of the National and American leagues in session at Chicago, Feb. 9. and ratified by the two major leagues at their meetings Feb. 10. Other changes will follow day by day. Paste them In your hat, the season's coming. Amend Rule 35, by adding new portion in quotes: Dead Ball. Rule 35 (1) A dead ball is a ball delivered to the bat by the pitcher, not struck at by the batsman, that touches any part of the batsman's person or clothing while he is standing in his position, "or (2) a wildly pitched ball
which the batsman plainly makes aa attempt to dodge to avoid being hit, but which ball accidentally hits his bat. Amend Rule 44 by adding the following sentence: "A fair fly must be judged according to the relative position of the ball and the foul line, and not as to whether the fielder is on fair or foul ground at the time he touches the ball." Amend Rule 45, by adding the following sentence: "A foul fly must be judged according to the relative position of the ball and the foul line, and not as to whether the fielder is on foul or fair ground at the time he touches the ball." Amend Rule 4S, Sec. 1, to read a3 follows: Section 1. When a batted ball passes outside the ground or Into the stand, the umpire shall decide it fair cr foul, according to where it passes over the boundary line of the actual playing field. Amend Rule 51, Section 8 (The Infield Fly), by inserting the word "fair" in second line, so that clause will read . "He hit a fair fly ball.-etc." Also add the following sentence to Section 8: "Provided that, with first and second bases occupied, or first, second end third base occupied, with less than two out, any attempt to bunt which results in a fair fly ball shall not be regarded as an Infield fly." Amend Rule 52. by adding the following sections: "Section 2. Bases cannot be run In j everse order, and the runner attempting to do so must be declared out if touched with the ball, or the ball held on the base to which he was legally entitled." "Section 3. In case a runner Is being run down between bases, and the following runner occupies the same
base the first runner has left, the sec
ond man cannot be put out while holding said base. If the first runner, however, returns safely to the base he
left, and both runners are then occupying the same base, the second runner
is the man out, u toucnea with the ball." "Section 4. The failure of a preceding runner to touch a base (and who is declared out therefore) shall
not affect the status of a succeeding
runner who touches each base in proper order." - SHAMROCKS RUN UP SCORE
OF 79 TO 5 ON SPECIALS The Richmond Shamrocks had good busket practice in the Garfield gym Friday night, although the score showed them to have defeated the
Union Station Specials 79 to 5. Runnels made about 40 of the Shamrock total, and Dillon, Cannon, Williams and Fitzgibbons accounted for the remainder. Quinlivan made all five of the Special total. The Shamrocks will hook up with the Whitewater Independents at Whitewater. Saturday night. The following players will meet at Y. M. C.

Whitewater Wins From New Paris in Hard Scrap The Whitewater high school basket-
ballers upheld Indiana honors by trimming New Paris 25 to 12. at Whitewater, Friday night. The game was hard fought from start to finish, the superior weight of New Pari3 at first baffling Whitewater. When this wore off the Whitewater scoring machine got into action. The New Paris seconds defeated the Whitewater seconds 20 to 19 in a curtain raiser.

EARLHAM SCRAMBLES UP I.G.A.L. STANDING BY BEATING WABASH
All Earlham wears a contented grin, for Quakerdom triumphed over the Wabash basketball machine 24 to 23, in a "movie thriller scrap at the coliseum Friday night. This victory completely changes the complexion of the I. C. A. L. By virtue of two defeats over Earlham.
Rose Poly has good ground for claim to first position. However, by virtue of the decisive defeat of the Engineers by Wabash, I. C. A. L. officials probably will award the silver cup to the Crawfordsville team. Earlham has a title to second honors. As for Friday's game Itself fans will agree that it was one of the best ever staged here. Wabash gained a six point lead early in play and maintained it for the first ten minutes. After Johnson deserted his back guard Job and dribbled the length of the floor and caged the first Quaker marker. Coach Mowe's proteges got together and started to climb. The first half ended with Wabash leading, 16 to 15. Second Half Repetition. The second half was a repetition of the last ofl the first Wabash would count a goal, followed by a Quaker marker. Kashner tossed a foul goal that put Wabash three points to the good. Hall came through for two points apd in the last two minutes Lawler made his only field marker of the evening, which won the game. Earlham
then successfully kept Wabash from the goal until after the final gun had been sounded. Orvall Hall was the Individual star for Earlham. In addition to making half the Quaker total potnts, he was a world of power on defense. Lawler was closely guarded and could not register any of the five free throws offered. Herb Carey performed in good style, caging three field markers. Kashner showed to advantage for Wabash, getlng field goals, and making five out of six foul shots. Adams played a good game, hooking three baskets, but could not quite fill the hole made vacant by Etter. The score: Earlham. Player Gls. Fls. Ms. Pts.

lngton, back in 1890. after having served a dry year in the
South Carolina leg lslature, Roper cor
railed his first nat
ional dry job. It was that of clerk to
the senate inter
state commerce
committee
So well did Roper
do the senate work
that the census bureau, hard put for a good man to break their statistics io
single and double harness, sent for him. For 13 years thereafter Roper was clerk to the ways and means committee. When the Democrats came into power in 1913. the hardest Job of all confronting them was the handing out of some 50,000 postoffices without causing rioting and bloodshed. Hence, it was simply natural that Roper should be made first assistant postmaster general. Just when he was funtctionir.g beautifully in the postoffice department, however, it occurred to some good friend of Woodrow Wilson's that things were going too easy for Roper bo he roped him in as organizer for the Wilson campaign. Wilson elected, the tariff commission gave promise of having more dry subjects to deal with than any other organization in Washington, so Roper was sent over there as vice chairman of the body. Next the Income tax business promised to be even fuller of figures than the tariff commission, bo Roper was made commissioner of internal revenue in 1917. Hence who in thi3 wide world was better trained for a dry Job of national importance than Roper when the country went dusty on Jan. 16, last? rnntr was born on April 1 and married on cnrisiiuas. lit belongs to the Methodist church.
