TO EVEN UP in the matter of fouls, the rules relating to incorrect stance of tipolf man, double dribble, running with ball and kicking ball, infractions which in past seasons calied for free throws, have been changed so that instead of a free throw the ball is given to the team oliended against out-of-bounds to be tossed in the same as a ball which has rolled from the playing floor over the chalkmark.

THAT we had more fighters of Ray Pryel's type." Cobb Champion DISCUSSIONS OF fans recently have centered around the basestealing proclivities of Tv Cobb, manasrer of the Detroit j.Tigers, and Max Carey, peerless outergardener of the Tirates. I dn view of Carey's continued good work in the theft line, it was Mi'eid by some that he was about to pass the average mark of the Georgia Peach. EXAMINATION of the life records of both players, reveals the fact that while Cobb, by reason of his greater in the major leagues, is far ahead of the Corsair in total of stolen bases, his season's average is also above his met rival's. DURING HIS career, Cobb has stolen 811 bases and Carey has pur- SMALL SCORES FEATURE TILTS IN ICE CIRCUIT Western Group Shows Improved Form Defensively Over Last Season All Teams Strengthened That a better brand of hockey Is being played tn the western circuit of the United Amateur Hookey association this season is Indicated by the unusually low scores being made by the sit clubs which make up the loop. The western group last winter was composed of only four clubs, Pittsburgh.

Cleveland, Duluth and Ft. Paul, while this season Kve-letli and Milwaukee have been added. The work of the first four mentioned teams this season has far surpassed that of the sea-son from the viewpoint of general all-around playing. While tho present season Is but a few weeks old, comparative fig. ures show that the defensive work of rtttaburgh, Cleveland.

Duloth and Ht, Paul is a hundredfold stronger lhan last seanon. This is no doubt due to the new players, tho yellow-jackets having acquired six. Cleveland three, Duluth four, and Ku Paul four. Pittsburgh's additions are lnce goal. Fleming and Bechard defence.

The forward lines of each of the clubs also look better, but their scoring power Is not as great as in the early games last season, because of the stonewall defense they encounter Of the first games eight have been Shutouts, which Is almost as many us made all last season. St.

Paul leads with three, Milwaukee la next with two. Pittsburgh, Duluth and ICveletli one each, Cleveland being the only club not to register a whitewash. In 'their firrt 12 games last season. Pittsburgh, Duluth, St. Paul ami Cleveland, collectively, scored while thess same teams have only tallied 15 counters in their first 11 games this season, which also shows that the defense work Is considerably strengthened by these clubs.

Manager Manners and his squad of 'iiutiurgh hockey player leave tomorrow afternoon for Cleveland where they meet the Fifth City team In league contests tomorrow Afld. Saturday. Twelve men will be taken to Cleveland, exolusive of Coach Schooley. SYRACUSE QUINTET FACES HEINZ HOUSE IN BATTLE TONIGHT Kleins House cjnintet finishes Its hard colleg-e schedule which has kept the squad on the Jump for more than a week, with the game tonlarht with the Syracuse University five at the' Heinz House gymnasium. The North-slders In four Karnes with college teams this season have won three and lost only one, and they are keen to lenartlien their to four straight victories by taking over the Orange team.

Officials and players on the Heinz House and Syracuse teams are peculiarly situated. Captain Benny Colker of the Heinz team. Captain George Fisher and Pete MacRae of Syracuse, wero team mates while attended Allegheny High school, while Coach Eddie tjollard of Syracuse and C. J. Houseknecht, manager of the Helns squad, were guards on the same team at Syracuse years ago.

Such events ilaturally tend to bring out rivalry, which added to the speedy play of both teams, promises about the fastest game of the season. Syracuse alumni in Western Penn sylvania will attend the game In a body and a section of the hall will be reserved for them. The main (fame starts at 0 o'clock, and In the preliminary an hour earllor.

COFFEYS AND LOENDI CLASH TOMORROW A capacity crowd will at the Labor temple tomorrow night to witness the first game of the season between the Coffey and Loendi teams and they will no doubt be rewarded with one of the most bitterly fought struggles that has taken place In the Pittsburgh district between Independent fives.

Loendi Is anxious to gain the upper hand over her most formidable rival and the players to a roan know that they have a battle on their hands. The showing they have been making this season will be a factor in arousing them to their greatest effort.

Winning their first home ga-me last night against Mlddlebury college, the Carnegie Tech basketball team de lighted a large student throng but failed to make much of a hit witii Coach Ben Lublo who notified the squad that starting this afternoon practice would mean something more than Umbering up and running around the court to improve eatli players breathing apparatus. "I happen to know," said Lublc "that there are several mighty good basketball players In school who have never reported far a trial.

I want these men out, for we are just getting warmed up for a hard schedule and I feel sure that we can do a whole lot better than we bave shows during the last four games." It appears that there ii little chance of Capt. Bell or Dosey returning to the squad at once. Both are veterans and would greatly strengthen the team. That Is one reason why Coach Luic is anxious to smoke out certain men whom he knows would add to the efficiency of his varsity. Tech does not play basketball again until next Thursday when the team goes to Little Washington for a crack at the Presidents.

The following Saturday night State is to be played at State college, and by this time it is hoped that the Skibos will show to better advantage than ia Motor Square Garden last night. Moran, the football player who alsa made the Tech Varsity basketball team last winter, was counted on as a sure floor candidate but ha has decided not to come out because hln cracked shoulder sustained in the, opening game last fall against Tale when be made a flying tackle at Capt. Aldrlch, Is still bothering him and he wants to save himself for th grid team next fall. The present star of the basketball quint ia Jimmy Anderson of Monon-gahela City who Is acting captain and who led the Tartan gridders last fall. "Andy" has scored more floor goals than any member of the quint to date and Is putting up the gams of his life.

WILKINSBURG TACKLES UNION HIGH TOMORROW. Wllkinsburgh High school basketball quintet will travel to Turtle Creek tomorrow to play the strong Union High team of that place. Wll-klnsburg and Union are great rivals and a hard-fought pama should result. Union last year was one of the few teams to defeat the Holy City In basketball and Wilkinsburg will be out to even the count Coach Springer, Wilkinsburg mentor, has been putting his boys through some strenuous practice sessions these last few days In preparation for this game. This will mark the opening league contest for both Wilkinsburg and Union and neither team would jjke to start their league season with i a aereai.

The aggregation, because of its fine victories over a number of the strongest trl-state teams this year, has become known as one of the flashiest quintets In western Pennsylvania, grid nothing would pleaso Its supporters more than to score, a triumph over the local professionals. Tho Morrys are enjoying unusual success this year, having won eight out of nine games. Tl lone defeat came last Saturday evening at the hands of Keyser Collegians at Keyser and the snakes, who have not been beaten In five years at their home floor, were forced to travel at their fastest pace to win by seven points, four of tli tallies being added In the last minute of play. Morry players are eager to start on another winning streak, for they believe that In their present form they are due to pass through their coming hard schedule without another setback.

Certain so-called "long discount tires are guaranteed by the dealer who sells them, but nobody guarantees such a dealer. On many such tires, the basis of adjustment is not the net price the customer paid, but the fictitiously high list price from which the "discount" was made. The result is, that such a dealer charges his customer about as much for the replacement tire as the customer paid for his first tire in the beginning. Maybe it is economy for the purchaser to have to buy two tires to get the mileage one should give, but it is a strange arithmetic that says so.

Because we decline to penalize our customers in this way, and prefer to sell a quality product on a square deal basis, we have been selected as the only Goodyear Service Station Dealers in Pittsburgh. Motor Square Monday When Classy Battlers Meet Indications are that the Jimmv Jones-Dave Shade match In the. Motor Square Garden neit Monday night Is frolnsr to be a notable event In ring annals of this city. Fans from various parts of Pennsylvania. Ohio and West Virginia, as well as several noted critics from the cast are expected to attend the affair and there Is ever likelihood that Motor Square officials will report a capacity house before the first bout goes on next Monday night.

The reason for this Intense Internal is that at present the welter division Is a popular one, holding quite a few good fighters, and save for the champion, Mikey Walker, Shade and Janes are close to the top of their division. As a matter of fact Shade, who can show clippings which detail how he twice defeated Jack Britton, also claims that he defeated Mickey Walker before Mickey won over Britton. Shade also avers that Walker will hot give him a chance now because, Shade also declares. Walker Is afraid he will lose his new-found honors. There isn't any doubt but what Shade Is one of the real battlers in the country, but even that statement does not moan that Dave la going to have a walkaway when he meets Jimmy Jones.

The latter tsno slouch. He was good enough to decisively beat Joe Laurie and Johnny King, and he has boen termed the "toughest wildcat among the welters." Knhanclng the sterling main bout will be an eight-round semi-final between Scotty Raeburn of Youngs-town, and Johnny Karam of Brad-dock. Kaeburn claims to have thrice beaten Mike Moran. That, if true, stamps hkn as a very classy lad. DAVIS IS NOMINATED TO SUCCEED MYRICK AS HEAD OF NET BODY New York, Jan.
