I ruled that Peck had the right to score, since Schalk had blocked him from the plate without having the ‘ball in his posession. hile such elsims are often made, sych a decision is a rather unusual one. However, in this case there ‘was no dubt in my mind, I felt that Peck was entitled to score. “Chance, who had been coaching at third, not knowing that I had ruled Peck safe, rushed up to the plate to protest Schalk’s blocking of the runner. ‘When he realized I had ruled Peck te id-walked back.to third base. fext day one of the New York re marked'to me: ‘ ‘won’t have any more winning ron s that if any kicks were to be ‘against... your decisions, i 4 Bat This fof an Oxford player was one of the thrilling moment mn io an oor classic. the annuel Oxtord-Cambridge rugby u by Hee “outside \ing the “prestige and good name” of | football, which the mere framing of | rules could not avert was contained | Change in - Football Experts Deplore Outside Pressure on Game New York, Jan. 2.—Warning that influences” were threaten, in the annual report of the Ameri- can Intercollegiate Football Rules committee for 1922, filed with the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic association .

Manager Bush _ Will Fill in as Utility Player Looks as if Donie Bush wouid han- dle the Washington team in the role of bench manager, With Peckinpaugh, and Gagnon, re- cently secured from Detroit in a trade for*Francis, there doesn’t seem to be a chance for him to break in at his regular position—-shortstop. Bush played a fairly good fielding game at third last season when used at that base, but didn’t hit any too well. Possibly he may take anothes whirl at that position, since no one has won the job. However, it is more probable that Bush will decide that he will have his hands full with the mere man- agement of the club and not try to win a regular berth. That being the e, he will fill in as utility infield- Bush still has considerable base- ball left in his au of his ability to play any of thé in- field positions, except firstybase, he will often break into the regular lineup.” ~ Delivery Is Cause of Wildness -When ,Bos- tcher “Rip” Collins Howard Ehmke, St marked the wildest trade ever pul- led off. The American League fig- ures show that no two pitchers had a tougher time mak'ng the ball ber have than Ehmke and Collins, Collins has always been erratic, Ehmke, however, until the last two years, hag always had fairly good control. It is believed that the changing of Ehmke’s style has had much to do with his wildness. Ehmke was a successful pitcher when he used a s‘de arm delivery with an occasional ‘underhand ball. Cobb believed Ehmke would be much more effective if he used the under- hand ball entirely and prevailed on the big fellow to use that style. In many games last ‘year Ehmke was so wild that opposing players insisted that he was purposely \using the “bean ball” to intimidate” them. In all probability Ehmke will he allowed to work out his own salva- ton by Boston next year; He will be ‘alowed to pitch as he pleases.
