General Winans pointed out that the athletic rules enforced at West Point are mainly for tke deevlop- ment of sports in the army.

TON MN SAAN IN LF SISLER’S ADVENT _ ON SENATOR NINE CAUSES COMMENT Bucky Harris Thinks Speaker Will Stay and. Rookie f Will Shine New York,. Dec, 15, —(P)—The supposition of baseball men seems to be that the Washington Senators, now that they have obtained the/ once peerless first sacker, Sisler, will come to a the ways with Tris Spe der avoid to having too many high salaried veterans on the payroll. It has been somewhat generally Poets that Speaker would anded his release anyway, on the theory that his drawing powers had waned. Bucky Harris, however, not only fails to share this point of view but expects Speaker to roam centerfield with his .customary ‘skill. for Senators next year. Since the bite pilot of the Senators has a irst-hand interest in the matter, his attitude happens to be more im- portant than that of the second- guessers. The salary issued may be a stumbling block, Harris admits this. The Senators most likely will ask,the “Grey Eagle” to take some reduction in his pay check, in view of the circumstances involved,. but even so it would still be financially worth while for Speaker to remain in the capital, particularly since there appears no other opening for him just now. e Senator Pilot Confident Harris, as enthusias' job of building up his year _as he was when he first pilot- ed W nm to a pennant in George ene of ‘ashi 1924, feels confident he will do his pe toward checking another head- long rush to the top by the Yankee battering ram. Like most of the other: American League men, Har- ris is bending every effort to strengthen his club and make it more of a contest than it was last season, “We stopped ‘em before. Why can’t we do it again?” seems to summarize his attitude. Foster Ganzel, Southern Asso- ciation recruit, measures up to the form he showed last season, Harris expects to have one of the hardest hitting outfielders in the game.
