SATURDAY
'BRONES FINALLY LAND
CLASS AA SHORTSTOP
Benson Closes Deal With
Kansas City Club of Amer-
ican Association.
The San Antonio Baseball club
i after much dickering with the Kan-
sas City club of the American Asso-
j elation closed a deal Friday night
7 with the Kaw City combination
whereby a long-felt want will *be
supplied the 1017 Bronchos it will
/ bring a shortstop who really is of
Class AA calibre in Tierney of the
Blues.
Tierney comes well recommended
by Scout Connery of the Cardinals
as well as Manager McGraw of the
Giants both stating that he will fill
the gap at short to a nicety.
The acquisition of a short sacker
will make the fans breathe a sigh
of relief as it has been the one big
hole in the Brone line-up which has
needed repairing above all others.
1 Last year Tierney was on the in-
' capacitated list most of the season
' but In 1915 he was a recruit of the
Chicago White Sox and was looked
upon as big league material. In an-
I other season he may be recalled to
the major lots. President Benson
says he paid a good price for the in-
fielder but doesn't regret it as the
Bronchos are out for a first division
berth —emphatically.

Bringing Up Father
CHANGES IN FOOTBALL
CODE CONSERVATIVE
Multiple Kick Reduced in Ef-
fectiveness —Incoming
Player Is Muzzled.
NEW YORK March 31.—Con-
structive changes in the font hail
code at the recent meeting of the
rules committee are conservative
but they will make toward fair pla.
and better sportsmanship and foot-
ball men in general have studied
them with satisfaction.
Two alterations stand uut as espe-
cially commendable.
The first has to do with the in-
coming substitute and the second
with the interference of players re-
ceiving a forward pass.
In changing the rule governing
the sending in of substitutes me
rules committee has practically
placed a muzzle on the coaches who.
after they were barred from side-
line coaching invented a method of
communicating with their players
through the use of substitutes.
Last year an incoming player was
permitted to talk with the members
of his team but under the new pro-
vision a substitute will not be per-
mitted to converse with any member
of his eleven until after the hall is
put in play. The penalty will be fif-
teen yards.
This change is an additional prop
under sections of the rules which
are meant to uphold the sportsman-
ship of the game and the new wrin-
kle will devolve greater responsi-
bility upon the player who is run-
ning the team. The rule provide®
also that if the incoming substitute
takes the place of the player who
has been calling signals he shall < :.ll
his own signals and put the ball
into play before conversing with any
member of the team.
In altering the rule dealing with
the interference of a player who is
‘about to receive a forward pass the
committee has made the penalty se-
vere. Under the new rule the ball
will go to the offending side at the
point where the foul is < ommitted.
Formerly a penalty of fifteen yards
from the point where tho ball was
put in play was imposed on the of-
fending side.
Some critics believe that under
the new rule players may de;el »p
promiscuous illegal interference
with a view toward discouraging the
use of forward passes but the mem-
bers of the committee believe th.it
the danger of fouling is n«»w so great
that infractions of the rules will be
greatly reduced.
The rule which affects Coach
George Sanford's multiple kick
places a ban on the use <>f artificial
tees. It is still within the right • f
the player to scrape up earth from
the field f<^r use as a tee. however.
Sanford who is the coach at itut-
gers. was greatly disappointed at the
action but it is believed that inas-
much as the multiple kick has b?<*n
reduced in effectiveness only the
Inventor will devise a new method
for using it.
A highly commendable safeguard
against illegal interference behind
the goal line is found in the new
rule which gives the offending side
possession of the ball on the on'*-
vard line. This rule protects the
side carrying the ball but also pre-
vents a score on a penalty.
The cut dow n from behind should I
have been barred in the opinion of
many football men. but it was the
belief of the committee that such <
move would rob the game of much
of its spectacular value.

A Freak of Baseball
Which Worries Tigers
DETROIT Mich. March 31 —
Why does one player throw a light
ball while an other player who uses
e.en less speed hurls a ball which
comes to a lielder as if it was a lump
of lead.’
This freak of baseball one of the
interesting scientific problems of the
game again is claiming the attention
of mem net s of the Detroit Ameri-
cans. Man. theories have been ad-
I vancea but it is seldom that more
than two players on a dub agree up-
on a p‘ .-slide solution.
Archie Yells a recruit catcher
was one of the players whose work
at the training camp started the dis-
cussion ibis season. Yells is a clever
receiver and a splendid thrower but
he hurls a ball which nearly knocks
a l-aseman into the outfield. Yells
has tried to remedy this fault but
like many other catchers some of
whom wore stars he has tailed. De-
troit iisfx Iders would rather stop a
piece of shrapnel than a throw from
this recruit backsiop.
Hack'' Spencer the comeback
who may be Detroit's first string
catcher this year sends the ball to
second like a rifle shot. His throw
is low all the way and despite this
fact. Busk and Young solemnly in-
sist that the ball seems to lloat into
their glove. Strange foo is a line
thrower and liis offerings are gentle.
McKee fourth member of the stall'
is an erratic thrower who seems to
be pitching lead.
Two of Detroit's infielders are
heavy throwers and two serve up
mu h lighter offerings Shortstop
Bush and Second Baseman Young
are disciples of the Spencer class
while ciscar Vitt and George Burns
throw as Y'ells does.
Years ago. baseball experts tried
to solve this mystery. In the dim
days when Malac hi Kittredge was in
his prime and feared by base run-
I ners he was equally feared by H e
men who had to stop his terrible
■ throws. Malachi had very small
[ hands and some players believed that
. his inability to get a better grip on
1 the horsehide gave the ball a spin
which made it feel so heavy. Hot
1 Donie Bush's hands are not large
i while Burns has long fingers.
Another solution offered is that a
I straight over-hand throw imparts
i lightness to the ball. A side-arm er
an under-hand motion causes a
i heavy spin say some players bet
there always seems to be an excep-
tion to their solution. Other students
of the game are inclined to belieio
that the players’ finger-tips are the
cause. Thev give the ball its final
spin and a heavy ball usually conies
to a fielder with a downward rota-
| tion similar to the beginning of the
I break to a spitball.
And there may be a very close
■ connection between the spitbad and
i the lead ball" for it ball players are
I unanimous on any phase of the
game they are in the declaration
I that thev would prefer to be hit on
I the head' w ith a sledge hammer than
I to have a spitter crash against their
