BROWN Back in 1916. the- year , that Clereland welccmed the arriral. with loud acclaim, of Tris Speaker, a young amateur vboxer drifted in to that city. The boxer was Wal ter Taylor. -lie, had left Syracuse a short time before, beat en earn ing his way to the Pacific Coast by boxing. He carried a' bank ac count of 11,400 with him. Taylor wasn't accustomed to the ehlll days of the Great Lakes re gion and a few days after his ar riral in his shirt sleeves he was stricken 111. ri - - ' i ' , The illness cost him his savings and his ring career. The winter he was to have spent on the coast he spent trying to keep a job in Cleveland and tryingi to keep up in his, studies in nigfiVachool. Boxing was in a moth-eaten con dition. When Taylor and a friend deeided to promote an "amateur" night in, a neighborhood hall their friends discouraged them.' j The first show drew a capacity house. : The second such an over flow house that the fire warden put the ban- of further . shows there. ! Taylor looked aronnd for larger quarters and found them. His first "downtown" show in the Moose Club hall was another suc cess. Taylor needed more room. He acquired the Grays military armory for a night and packed It. 'When the city save Taylor and five cfther "amateur promoters the use of the Public Hall with its 12.000 seats for a show, Taylor filled it. : ' i j Then he bided his . time. The lid on professional boxing was lift ed There was a' mad scramble for dates by everyone except Tay lor. Sport men had forgotten him when one day he announced he had signed ; the , bantamweight championship of the world to meet Carl Tremaine. He turned 3.000 people away and the other promot ers growled at conductors and ev erybody else. : . i ';Hy. It wasn't until Taylor bashfully admitted that he was building a 115,000 "bowl" for outdoor bouts that the public took him seriously.

Bureau Be Established In Salem Chamber of Commerce Calls Special Meeting Monday Eve ning at 8 O'clock With Invitations to AH Interested in Securing Tourists NEW YORK, March 20. (By Associated Press.) Four import ant gridiron rules changes, one placing a check on the indiscrim inate use of the forward pass, and another designed, to eliminate the intentional safety, were, made to day by the football rules commit tee in annual session here. The change . involving the for ward pass, which provides a pen alty of five yards for the second and tiiird incomplete passes in any series of plays, came as a surprise in view of repeated statements from memCers of the committee ihat they were opposed to any tampering with the aerial game. The safety rule was revised so that a team making a safety must put the ball in play on its own 20 yard line byv a kick on the first down with the opposing team re strained to the 30-yard line. The other changes involve the boun dary lines to keep all play within the legal playing field. The changes provide that: 1 The second and third incom plete forward passes which shall be made before a first down in any series of plays, each shall be pen alized by a loss of five yards. 2 A team making a safety must put the ball in play on its own 20-yard line by a punt, drop kick, place kick or onside kick on the first down with the opposing team lined up on the 30-yard line. 3 The ground rules will apply at the side lines and end lines at the boundaries of legal playing field, thus making' the ball dead automatically wherever it crosses the line. The side touching the ball last in fair territory shall be given possession at the point in which it passes over the line. 4 No player who steps out of bounds on a klckoff or free kick shall be eligible to recover a loose ball. The new forward pass rule was designed to discourage the ill- conceived pass as a last minute resort by; a team in the ruck.,. .. Two such penalties would be the most a team could incuf In any one series of plays under the, ruling BISHOP'S Shirt : ad : on Back Page AI KARAS1CK WINS; SPOKANE, March.

While all cities of any size in Oregon have already maintained such an information bureau. Salem has been lagging far behind, and as a resuflt has been at a disad vantage in securing its share of the auto travel on the highway north and south. For the past few years the AAA has maintained office information bureaus at Corvallis, Engene, Roseburg and in fact, all the lar ger cities to the south. In its of ficial magazine. The Oregon Mo torist, the AAA instructs' its read ers where the services of the asso ciation may be had. Naturally, with no office in Salem, the cap ital city has been left out of the picture. The Chamber of Commerce has called a meeting for Monday even ing at 8 o'clock, w hen the proposi tion of establishing a AAA infor mation bureau will be taken up. This meeting Is not only of spe cial interest to all motorists for the protection it gives, but espe cially to those who believe that Salem should ; line up and do everything possible to secure Its share of the extra travel that will pass through the state this season Where information bureaus are established, the AAA not only gives extra protection to Its mem bers, but also general free lnf or matlon service to the public. The association protects the auto own er against Inferior service from garages, service stations, restau rants and hotels. BEND MAN' DIES SUDDENLY BEND. Or., March.20.

" vv' ' - since the first" play of the series would be exempted and the ball would automatically change hands after an incomplete pass on the fourth down. - . In explaining the new safety rule. Chairman F. K. Hall said this was drafted to eliminate a series of intentional safeties by a team in the lead as stall for time. The rule makes It mandatory for a team to kick on the first down, with the onside kick the only weapon available to gain re-possession of the ball. FIRE THREATENS TOWN SAN BERNARDINO. Cal., March 20.
