End of Pennant Races Turbulent in American League
Yesterday’s results show several teams in the pennant chase with mixed outcomes. Bloomingdale Cedar Rapids and Moline posted wins or losses as the standings shift in the pennant race amid tight league play.
Few Changes in Football Rules Highlight 1920 Adjustments
The rules committee made mainly technical changes for the 1920 season. The sole spectator note is the elimination of the punt out after a touchdown, allowing the scoring team to attempt the goal from any spot in front of the posts. The change aims to reduce luck and fumbles in final scores while Walter Camp notes the shift.
