(Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, Feb. 16,—The two major leagues have agreed on a new rule regarding their young players which is likely to make quite a bit of difference in the future in major managerial experi The new agreement provides, in short, that a manager may keep a recruit player out on option for two years instead of one as in the past. The agreement is not with: out its’ technical features which, of course, dre connected with almost all baseball legislation affecting the relations of players with clubs. But the y technicality of the thing will help those major league managers who have trouble mak- ing up their minds whether to tie a string to a certain player or let him loose. Hereafter there will be more string tying and less letting loose. This may not be so pleasant for the players but the feelings of players are‘ not always considered as they jog along the road from the filbert bush to the big leagues. Take an example to see how the new rule works out. The Phillies, for instance, have been unable to farm a player out for more than one season without obtaining watv- ers on him >w suppose the Phillies obtained a recruit pitcher who looked pretty good but was not ripe yet for the big show. It puts him out on option, let us say, to the Reading club. He does fairly well during the season of 1925 but the Philly management still thinks he ought to have a little more sea- soning. Under the previous rule they would have to ask or obtain waivers on him before he could be put out on ception again. If some other club had observed and Mked his work and put in a claim for him, the Phillies would have to give him up or put hm on the big league roste’ Under the new rule, Mr. Almost- Ready Pitcher can be sent out by the Phillies. on option again in 1926 to-eny minor league of a highér 1 tion and may be by the 1927 the Phillies will have 8 pitcher ready to go to nd. » have been several instances where major league r ere not quite satisfied first year work of young still a hankering to 1 had _ Yot when they asked Hagen in South British open king, “unoMcial world’s when he defeated 4 Walter Hagen, won the title of golfing champion,” Cyrit Walker, American open crown. wearer, 17-15, down gouth recently.

The new rule has placed major league managers in a better position to experiment ‘than ever before, but it also has placed the first year ball player where he can not hope to get away from the first club that gets him until he has done two years “time”.

By FAIR PLAY. (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Feb, 16.—Bert Col- ima has been named as the official welcomer when Mickey Walker makes his debut {n Sunkist Call- fornia. The chances ‘are that Collma will find the genial Mickey to be the bearer of bad news from the east. Several years ago Joe Woodman and George Lawrence hit upon the happy idea of sending for the best boyson the west coast and cleaning up the east with them. Among the immigrants was Col ima. The papers were flooded with highly colored accounts of Bert's prowess and this ruined the west coast boy's chances of getting a good match, The managers of top: notchers/who are always careful of the reputations of their charges ran for a hole and pulled it in after them whenever Colima’s name was men- tioned. About this time Al Jennings came down from Bridgeport witi®a likely looking middleweight and offered to throw him into the ring with any- one just for training expenses; Al Jennings only wanted the chance to show his ad. Dave Dri coll, the old time ball making matches for Eb- s the {ime and he match. Jennings’ unknown hopeful with Colima, The unknown happened to ne none other than Jack Delaney, the bubble exploder. Colima sailed along with him on an even keel for three rounds and then ran into one of Jack's celebrat- ed right uppercuts and was excused for the rest of the afternoon. Colima may or may not know that Walker and Delaney are on a par when it comes to ability and that the welter champion has it all over Delaney for pure unadulterated ag- gressiveness.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—Broadway boasts of the most cheerful losers in the world, for the simple reason that a Broadwayite figures a loss on a prize fight as a temporary loan to be returged with usurious interest.
