' ..-v - ''! - ' j i '
By NORMAN E. 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.
His fights in that bowl are put
ting him on the high road to big
money. ' - . , ; - f
This at the age of 29, with 1
personality which Is the direct an
tlthesis of the average promoter.
Taylor has yet to call a sporting
editor by his first name, v- That's
his way. He reminds one more of
a theological student than a fight
promoter. ' He has much'; the air
of a bashful young clerk abou. to
hit the boss for raIse--except
when you speak of Jimmy Tran-
nett, his one protege.. ; : ; .
Taylor learned his boxing while
working out with Tommy Ryanr
old-time undefeated welterweight
champion. In the Y.' M. C. A. at
Syracuse. Ryan spent most of his
time teaching the college boys the
forbidden - sport Now: Taylor. '-is
teaching Trannett; Ryan's style.
Incidentally Taylor's; next out
door is indicative " of his :- style,
Cleveland fans had , been, clamor
ing for a match between CarlfTre-
maine. a veteran bantam Starr and
Benny Gershe, rising youngster, j
The ; first "time 4 Taylor's name
was mentioned In connection! with
the bout, was In . the . story, an
nouncing they had been signed for
Oct.-vi.i?vT V'"1 " :'J" -

the biggest outdoor arenas in the country, "Taylor Bowl," in Cleve
land, and is on his way to wealth. The amazing thing about him is
that he has eliminated all ballyhoo and cheap methods of boosting
his fights. Learned boxing from Tommy Ryan, famous old middle
weight, and is teaching just one protege, "Jimmy" Trannett Ryan's
style. Holds last outdoor fight of season October 12 a battle be
tween Carl Tremaine, veteran bantam, and Benny Gershe, one of

Will Urge A.A.A. 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

With te endorsement .of the
Chamber of Commerce, efforts
will be made this week for the
locating of an information bureau
in Salem by the American Auto
mobile Association of Oregon, gen
erally known as the AAA.
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.

since the first" play of the series

fourth down. - .
In explaining the new safety
rule. Chairman F. K. Hall said

weapon available to gain re-possession
