CITY LEAGUERS WILL MEET AGAIN TO-MIGHT Important Problems to be Dis oussed by the Local Baseball Bugs. This evening at eight o'clock the Kingston Amateur Baseball League will hold a general meeting in the 'Whig office for the purpose of get- ting all business straightehed away for the 1924 season. Pregident Kane has warned all delegates who have matters to place before the league to be on deck and those who neglect to do so are going to miss the op- portunity 'of looking after their own interests and also of nearing many interesting things about the pros- pects fr this summer. There are prospects for another 800d senior geason and the juniors are also stirring up again for the summer. The junior section; with its material always developing, needs a lot of encouragement and will be glven every attention. . The meet- ing is expecting a report from Jack Derry, the Circle-Six manager, in re- ference to linking up with Napanee 43 "the junior series. The report of the treasurer will 'montain some surprises and gives a kood insight into local baseball in more ways than-one. The report of the O.B.A.A. delegate will also be made and other matters of interest brought up. . : The City League is in need of every bit of support possible this year. The organization finished last season with a very small balance which has already been used in get- ting started this season. Its officers look for a continuance of the good support received and for much better financial suppoft as the figures show that only a small percentage of the spectators donated at the games last season. Ten spectators giving ten cents each puts the sport farther ahear financially and otherwise than three giveng twenty-five cents each. All interested in baseball are invited to tonight's meeting. Amended Football Rules Greatly Alter the Play New York, April 19.--Fear that football may suffer from an overdose of legislation if rule-makers continue t0 amend the playing code every year, has been expressed by men ¢lose to the coaching situation in the country. Several drastic measures enacted for 1924 by the National In- ' tercollegiate Rules Committee will . have a material effect on the game, it is thought, unless coaches comply with the/fpirit as well as the letter of the law. # The complete abolition of the kick- ing tee is expected to revolutionize © the game to such an extent that _ y coaches will lay more stress on the running and passing game, and con- fine the kicking art to the necegsary punt. and the occasional drop kick. Thé legislation against 'passive _ interference" on the screen pass has been cleared somewhat, but it is still dazy, and violations wjll have to be decidedly open before dny official will call them, observers believe. "The solons in charge of the rules ~have apparently had the spectators ia mind more than the participants in endeavoring to diversity the game," said one prominent author- ity. £ "Coaches who have spent years in developing a kicking offense, find 'their years of labor discarded by the abolition of the artificial kicking tee, and must now either develop these ~ booters into drop kickers or drop thelr kicking. offense and revamp their attack."

Unless more passes or runs are made from this play, it is considered likely that the ,1925 rules will contain a pro- vision whereby a"run or a pass from this play will net the attacking team two points and a kick one point.

PREDICTS A CLOSER INTERNATIONAL RACE President Toole Says the General Class Is Higher Than Before. Commenting on prospects for the International Baseball League sea- son, John Conway Toole, league pre- sident, predicted a closer race than the International has had in several years. "All of the clubs have been strengthened," sald Mr. Toole, "par- ticularly Syracuse, which I regard now as a real contender, and Read- ing, Buffalo and Rochester will be strong rivals of the champion Balti- more Club. Toronto has improved, while the two Jersey teas will not be outclassed. The sho g all the clubs have made on their training trips demgnstrate that the general class is higher than before." President Toole helped inaugurate the season at Newark where the home club played Toronto, After a stormy winter season cen- tred chiefly about control of the Newark franchise and drafting of the league's 168 game schedule, the eight clubs are prepared for a vigor- ous flag hunt, seven of them intent upon breaking Baltimore's five year pennant monopoly, one of the most brilliant achievements on record in baseball, The Orioles, despite the sale of Max Bishop to the Athletics and Jimmy Walsh to Newark and th¥nce to Jersey City, are favored to add to their string of successes, but keen opposition is expected from Buffalo,' Rochester, Toronto and [Reading with Syracuse looming as a "dark horse." Newark and Jersey City are not expected to prove first division | contenders. . Both Jersey clubs will start the season under new managements. Fred Brainard, who finished the season in charge of the Newark Club last season will be at the helm of the Baas, while Jimmy Walsh will guide the Skeeters. ; The Newark Club, after a brief period of control by a Newark syn- dicate, reverted to its former owners, William H.

Cambridge University, of England, with a crack squad of runners, wiil supply the chief international flavor this year, although unusual interest also will attach to the presence of Eric Liddell, star Edinburgh sprint- er, and the entry of several Cana- dian teams in relay features. Cambridge will make its chief bid for honors in the two-mile relay championship which, since it was first made a part of the programme in 1897, has created more track his- tory than any gther fixture in college competitive history. It has witness- ed the shattering of the world's re- cord on four occasions, first by Yale in 1916, then by Oxford-Cambridge in 1920, Pennsylvania in 1922 and again last year by Penn State's crack mark of 7 minutes, 48 4-5 seconds.
