to do away with all three., ..really the

the annual meeting of the, American
j Football Coaches association yesterday
f and last, tilgbt a the Hotel Astor.
i More, than a hundred- football men
? tors from all over the, land attended.
..-. In regard to the ' proposal to elimi
j nate the point after touchdown, the
stneral chorus had much to say about
how: this; would eliminate a most ln-
teres ting feature of the ', game and

' John W.tHelsmaB of Pennsylvania,
incidentally the new president of the
association, made the proposal that
kie& games be decided by giving each

most yardage be awarded the point
nd the Verdict. ; Buck CT Neiil,' Coach
' of Columbia last ! season, also .had a
proposal in this connection. '
': , It was simply :
? Awarding the deciding point to the
;team .making the greatest number of
first downs In the game.
," Both suggestions were not produc
tive ot much enthusiasm and -never got
beyond discussion. . ' .
; ?. As for the suggestion - that' coaches
Vive the sideline benches and hie
'themselves to the grandstand or else
.where,, it got something strikingly like
n. j thunderous ' hoot The coaches
seemed all ""for the1 bench. However,
it wag made plain that they did not
--ant this to be interpreted that they
would try to run the game. ; : .
Ted Jones, Tale' aoaeb,: is we'who
"as favorable to leaving the bench,
II seemed he was the only one.
-.":tt ; was decided . to recommend for
adoption' of the Intercollegiate rules
committee, the body for- final action,
that -the penalty for delaying the
f games, now effective in the :. second
half only, b applied to . the whole

should deprive the offender of a kick
off . and allow the offended team to
pu the ball in play on the opponents'
35-yard line, or have its opponents put
the ball in play on its own 15-yard
line. . ,
Suggestions for an increase in oen-
alties for, clipping interfering" with a
player about to catch a punt holding,
etc., were turned down. Present pen
alties were considered sufficient, and,
furthermore, more drastic penalties. It
was-pointed out. might make officials
hesitate in calling them the setback
for the "offenders would be so great.
A resolution condemning betting and
it IP phases of gambling, commercial-
itiuiun - oi mo ime ry piayers wno
might make use of their college repu-

PARIS, Dec. 28. The words which
Francois Descamps, manager of
Georges Carpentler, muttered to Bat
tling Sikt's manager. Hellers, when he
made his suspicious visit to Sikl's cor
ner, after the fourth round, were read
from the screen Wednesday by a Jury
of two deaf . mutes: The two men.
skilled from long practice in lip read
ing, were taken to a showing of the
fight pictures by officers of the French
boxing federation, which is investigat
ing Siki's charge that Carpentier made
him promise to lie down in round four1.
As neither Carpentier nor Slkl would
openly face the charges by testifying
before the investigators without first
obtaining Impossible concessions from
the commission, this means was taken
of ascertaining what Descamps. eaid.
In dramatic silence the Tf ilm was run
very slowly, so that the men could see
the motions of Descamp's lips. The
federation- declined to reveal what the
deaf men read from the film, but the
final verdict on Sikl's charges will be
made known in a few dHys. ,

Auto Suggestion Was Forte
Of J. McGraw's in Baseball
. By Samoa Raayon
Copyright. 1922, b; Cninrwl Service)
NEW YORK. Dec 28. Years ago
this writer, cub reporter, fol
lowed the singular doings of Francis
Schlatter, the "Healer." He was the
forerunner of M. Coue and his auto-
suggestion. ''-,'
"Schlatter, be whiskered.' saintly look
ing, bobbed up out of nowhere, curing
people in Denver, Cold., of ailments
by the simple process described as the
laying on of bands. His only medicine
:was faith.
l . ' . . . ; . ,
Many of the ailments he cured were
doubtless Imaginary. However, If a
man thinks he is sick he is assuredly
not well. ' . ,
Schlatter was a tremendous sensa
tion for several weeks. Thousands
wanted to see him. Then he disap
peared as suddenly as he came, drift
ing off into the desert, i
Afterwards many importers : caning
themselves Schlatter, popped . up In
different-parts of the country, trading
on his strange fame. ; The real Schlat
ter, probably died soon after Quitting
Denver: - .
. - . . . : '
. Schlatter would take no money or
Other reward for his. services. The
theory promptly developed : that he
was insane.
Then as now; people could 'not un
derstand -a. man doing 'something ' for
nothing.' ' - ; - ----,-.
M. Coue has come a long time after
poor Schlatter, but no on thinks that
Coue is Insance. - On. the contrary his
very sanity makes him popular. Yet
the, foundation of his auto-suggestion
is the thing that worked Schlatter's ap
parent cures faith. - .

By John B. Foster ' '

TVJKW YORK, Dec. 28, It was ex--
' pected . today , that the Cleveland
American league club will announce
the addition of Myatt, catcher of the
Milwaukee club, to its playytg staff
shortly after January 1. Cleveland,
however, is not going to . get, Myatt
without putting out a healthy amount
of cash. The price is claimed by some
to have been 330,000 and certainly the
roundelays Otto Borehert. th - Mil
waukee club owner, has been pinging
about Myatt always had S30,00p notes
in them. - i- I -
American association ' managers be
lieve firmly that Myatt will make good
I . 1 . . 1 , . 1 . . .1
like a wild man in 1922 with an aver
age well up - towardS .360. ilf he does
as well as the men who have watched
him believe he will, the Cleveland club,
with Steve O'Neill and the heweomeri
will he- fortified for a double "barreled'
catching department thatf-can hit more
often and furjher and more power
fully than any pair of catchers row In
baseball captivity. f J i . . .
Myatt la the player who was "thrown
In" in a trade with Milwaukee, but
at that time Myatt had not thrown
out as many runners for Connie as he
has since for Berchert. .
A lot of eld National league players
out-on the Pacific coast think that if
Cincinnati has been able to get Mitch
ell, the San Francisco f pitcher, they
have a man who will make a winner in
the majors and that he will dr. as well
with the Reds as he did on the coast.
If that Is the case, Cincinnati more
than ever appears to be the team that
will challenge the Giants at the start.
Yankees Billed to
Play Brooklyn
, (Bj tTnJTersal Serric
New York. Decs 28. The N. Y.
Yankees are scheduled" to meet the
Brooklyn " Dodgers In & series of J 6
games starting at New Orleans the
Yank's spring training camp on March
31, it was announced today.
The trail to be followed by the two
nines will wind up through Louisiana
Into Mississippi, thence to Texas, three
stops in Oklahoma, one at Springfield,
Mo., and then on to Brooklyn. ,
J Indian catcher, John J. Jortes. called
Chief Meyers. For a couple of sea
sons ueyers was a jnignty slugger,
then his. batting fell off. :
Like all ball players, Indians or
otherwise, Meyers loved V hi batting
average. He brooded over the slump,
seeking an explanation. - Finally he de
veloped the idea that It was due to
the advertising signs on the - center
field, wall at the Polo 'grounds.
It was very Important to ' McGraw
that Meyers get to hitting again. . He
tried to laugh the Indian out - of the
theory that the signs affected his bat
ting. Meyers persisted in the belief
himself.
Finally McGraw went to Harry M.
Stevens, concessionaire at the Polo
grounds, who - controls the advertising
privileges on the wall, and asked him
to paint out the signs.
"I know it is all nonsense. ; Harry,
McGraw said. The signs have noth
ing to do with his slump. But he
thinks he 'can't hit while they are
there as as long as he thinks he can't
hit, why. he can't, hit. .
- Baseball has long had - Its own- pri
vate healer, a man called "fBonesetter"
Reese. " '
Reese i does not wittingly employ
auto-suggestion in his methods. How
ever,', he - has - attained such reputa
tion that the - average ' bait player,
highly imaginative in the - matter of
aches and - pains, .goes -to him with a
faith that is undoubtedly an Import
ant factor in the cure. - .
This man lives- in the lively city of
Youngs town, Ohio. - He was ' once a
worker In the steel mills. - Assisting
injured coworkers, h discovered one
day that he had a natural faculty for
the treatment of injuries to bone and
muscle. - . . r -
He got to treating ball players grad
ually attaining note, until at one time
he had almost a monopoly on handling

TVTEW YORK. Dec. 28. While Floyd
Xl ' Johnson etowed away Italian Jack
Herrman in great fashion up at Syra
cuse, word comes from the Salt City
that the lowan's showing was not at
all impressive. He was not only big
and -clumsy and showed no real ability
in getting about. True, Herrman lasted
only three rounds, hut it was the pre
vailing opinion: he should have lasted
but one; that, m fact, there should
have been but two blows struck in the
fight the .hammer on the gong and
Johnson's right to the button. ' '
Down in the big town the fans. "bow-
ever, received the adverse reports with
smiles. They know that Johnson has
not eone as far as he will go. but just
the same he never has looked as, bad, as
he must have looked in Syracuse. -
- What's the answer) Why. the Bren-
nan fight on January -12. - of course !
Johnson would like nothing better than
to face Knockout BUI while Bill is in a
state of mellow over-confidence. , ,

Pittsburg 7 : :
Fay bred to
Beat ubs
By Jean Frederle Loba
SAN-FRANCISCO, Dec 88. U. PJ
. The next course Is about ready.
Pacific coast baseball fans, as many '
as had the money, the time and the
Inclination all at the same moment, ,
went to San Diego to see the first of
the three great international battles
scheduled for coast gridirons this fcoli
day season. Now all eyes are on
Stanford stadium where, day after to
morrow, the ' University Of Pittsburg "
will clash with . Stanford Warner
himself against Warner's system as
applied by his first lieutenant,
. Not the least 'interested' of - spec- -tators
will be the California coaches
and players, members of Uhe three .
times champions of the Pacific coast.
California realises that it 1s this man
"Pop" Warner that the Bear will have '
to -beat from now on,' and the Warner
style of play . as' exemplified by Pitt
and Stanford will , be closely scruti
nised.. . .... , '
Never regarded with -derision but
looked upon as a weak sister early In
the season, Stanford- has shown mar
velous improvement with every game .
until In the California game the Card!- -nal
gameness and fight won thousands
of supporters. Whether the Cards will .
fight as they did as they always do
against California Is problematic -But
if the Cards have kept , right on tm- .
proving in technical football, and there
Is every reason to believe they have,
the fight will take care of itself.
Pittsburg hi generally favored to win
because of its great plunging, running -backfield.
' Stanford has not one : re- -liable
plunger. ' But If the Stanford
line can cope with the Pitt, forwards, . .
the speed of Wilcox. 'Doughty and
Cleaveland " and the- place kicking of
Cuddeback may be as effective as the .
line play of the Panther backs.
