FOR TRACK AND COURT BY H. C. BYRD. NEW DEAL FOR PLAYERS IS UNDER CONSIDERATION Heydler Says Contract m . .ToChange World Series Rules—Minors Now Expected to O. K. Pact. [ £ C Besides the new understan the players is under consideration, tional League said today, as the part of the general reconstruction re- sulting from last fall’s scandal disclosures. “There are many things that need to be changed,” Mr. Heydler said, “so that they will fit in with the general ethics of the new agreement. between the major leagues and the new agree- ment between majors and minors, which is to be presented to the latter. It is likely that a new form of players’ contracts will be drawn up, one that shall embody the new prin- ciples of base ball. All Must Be in Accord. “I can’t say just what clause may be inserted, but something should be put in to aid in putting down evils that have infested the game in late vears. Players, magnates, league officials and everybody connected with the handling of the game must be in accord with the eth.cal side of the next agreement. “It may be that a new set of rules will be drawn up for conducting the world series in future, as well as the distribution of the money from the series and from other post-season games. The idea of permitting the umpires in the big series to receive a percentage of the receipts instead of a stated sum may come up for discussion. It is possible the new national commission, or rather the new governing body, may need a larger portion of the receipts than the former 10 per cent, because under the ; it'may cost more to; new condition run the game. Sentiment among minor league lead- ers seems to have veered in favor of the proposed new national agree- ment, according to reports today. President Mains of the Ontario League, a member of the committee, said today, after a conference with! President Sexton of the National As- sociation of Minor Leagues, that he believed the minors and majors ‘would get together, with Judge Landis as the boss of them all. A copy of the new agreement as drawn up by at- torneys is in the hands of the minor league drafting committee. Some concessions are sought by the minors, it is said, and indications are that they will be granted. Griff Opposed Agreement. One reason for the unsettled opin- jon of the minor leagues, it is said, is the fact that the American Leaguers have not signed the new )the question of the signing of the major league agreement, although [new agreement they voted 7 to 1 to accept it in New | League and York.

PORTLAND, Ore., January 10.—Pur- chase of First Baseman Poole of the Richmond club of the Virginia League has been announced by ident Mc- Credie of the Portland Patific Coast League team. Poole is expected to add batting strength to the locals, having attained a mark of more than .300 for the past two seasons. Plays That Puzzle l Y BILLY EVANS_— ! In a game of base ball with a funner on first base and the ball is Lit to the infield, is the rurner on first forced to run or has he the op- tion of standing on the bag? If the runper elected to remain on the bag, and the ball was hit to the second baseman, who instead of making the play to second as is customary for a double play. threw the ball to first, retiring the batter, would the touch- ing of the runner with the ball while he was standing on that base re- tire the original occupant of the bag? Must the runner on first attempt to adance on any hit to the infield, even if the play {s first made on the bat- ter at first base? Can Do as He Pleases. A runner on first can always do as he pleases on a batted ball. He has & perfect rizht to remain on first base it he 5o desires. But what would be the advantage in remaining on that base? It is base ball for him to try to advance, since it is the desire of the batsman to reach first. Not to run would be considered a “bone- head” play. Failure to run offers greater possibility for a double play and kills entireiy his chances of HICAGO, January 10—The completion of one of the most thorough housecleanings base ball ever has had is contemplated by club owners in the meetings scheduled here this week to reorganize the national agreement and the pact between the major leagues. g between the magnates, a new deal for in League | threatened to be the own nms-“?r maker among the majors, it looks as Signs Contract for His Thirty-First Year as College Athletic Coach Form May Be Revised.

Georgetown's track team started last winter as if it were going to ac- complish great things, but various in- ternal troubles caused almost com- pleto abandonment of the outdoor pro- gram. As a result, much time was lost, and this year Coach O'Reilly finds that he has only a few experi- enced men on whom to depend. Three Basket Ball Veterans. In basket ball, Flavin, forward; Zazalll, guard, and O'Connell, center, are the remaining members of the quint which made such a splendid record a year ago, and O'Reilly be- lieves that if he can develop two men to fill acceptably the vacant posi- tions another very successful year schedule will be played. “I really have not been working long enough with the track and bas- ket ball squads to determine just what material we have. Of course, 1 know that we have Flavin, Zazalli and O'Connell as regulars from last year's basket ball outfit, but I have not yet seen. enough of the men as individuals to learn whether we shall have two men to fill acceptably the vacant positions. “As far as track {s concerned, pretty mfuch the same condition ex- ists. “The track men practiced some before the holidays, but not under my direction. Since last Wednes- day, when workouts were begun again, we have done little other than try to get in shape for real training. We seem to have a bunch of steady fellows, and I think should develop a more consistent team than in 1920. So far as I can tell just now. George- town ought to turn out representa- tive teams in track and basket ball, and with some breaks in our favor might have much better combina- tions than usual. Dudack is in school, but may not be able to play basket ball, because he has not yet recovered his strength after the case of typhoid fever from which he suf- fered last summer. He would be a big_asset In basket ball.” Georgetown’s first basket ball game will be played Friday night with Carnegie Tech as its opponent. A contest was listed for tonight, but was canceled. Hatchetites Face C. U. Quint. Probably the basket ball game of most interest this week is between Catholic University and _ George Washington Wednesday night. The Brooklanders evidently have one of the best quints they have turned out since Danny Keegan was captain. and George Washington seems in a fair way to develop a much better five than has worn {ts colors since the old days of Hatchetite athletics. The Brooklanders will have a great ad- vantage, though, in having played five games, four of which were hard, while the Buff and Blue has taken part in only one. One of the biggest basket ball crowds of the year is likely to attend. Morse's Men Handlcapped. indoor games. r, and they are members of the gridiron squad, so that real practice may be obtained. A day or 80 ago in talking over the 1920 season, Coach Morse brought out some interesting facts concerning the work of the Hatchetite squad. Among these wae the amount of time spent in practice. At the end of the season the actual time put in was figured up in hours and minutes, and the total practice periods of the Hatchetite gridironers just about equaled what the average college squad gets in three weeks. at Scems an exaggerated state- ment, @and vet those familiar with the difficulties surrounding foot ball practice at G. W. U. probably will be surprised that Morse was able to get all members of the squad together at once for that much time. George Washington cannot hope to put out a representative eleven until it does something to rectify that condition. G. W.-G. U. Grid Game Listed. Georgetown and George Washing- ton will meet on the gridiron Octo- ber 2 next, if plans made by repre- sentatives of the two institutions yesterday are approved by their re- spective boards.

Western Basket Hall. Princeton reports speak of they rough game of basket ball played by Chicago in the course of the Tigers' recent western trip. Princetonians. however, recognize that this was due not to muckerish desizn on the part of the conference five, but to the style of game they play out there, which more closely resembles foot. ball than the eastern game. In fact, basket ball as western officials per- mit it to be played often is as rough as a prize fight.

Carpentier Optimistic. | union championships held at the Mad- | ison Square Garden excited the anger of professional boxing men who saw the tournament. A boy could be lit- erally knocked out, be dragged to his corner, revived and then sent out for another round. The boy, Everding, who went to the hospital with co; cussion of the brain—it was feared he had a fractured skull—should never have been permitted to go back for the second round after he had been badly mauled in the first. Still, what can one expect of an organization that starts sprinters three yards back of scratch in handicap events and then expects them to be enthusiastic over the matter of breaking records? Young Fits Resembles Dad. _Bob Fitzsimmons, Jr., is again in the ring trying_to foilow in his father's footsteps. The writer saw him when he first appeared as a sparring partner to his father, six or seven years ago, and the other night saw him give Jim Mona- han, a big fellow, a fine lacing out in Newark, N. J. Young Bob—he is now twenty-four—is a fine looking boy, with a suggestion of the old man about the body, but with much heavier legs which, however, are a bit knock-kneed, just as the Ruby champion’s were. But alto- gether the son is bigger in every way than the sire. His ambition is the heavy- weight championship, and when he feels qualified to go in for it he'll challenge Dempsey, or whoever happens to be the holder of the title. Willie Jackson, who fought a draw with Pinkey Mitchell of Milwaukee. at the Madison Square Garden last Fi night, did not convince fans of his ability to put Benny Leonard away, although at that he put up a rugged battle against a man who knew how to wrestle as well as box. As for Mitchell, he has a real defense and is one of the best clinchers New York ever saw. If he could back all this up with a real wallop he might be a champion. But the sleeping dose doesn’t seem to be stored away in_his long thin arms. e ‘While Jack Johnson is ready and will- ing to fight, promoters throughout the country are not breaking their necks to stage combats between the man who had a chance to do more for his race than any other man—and failed—and such | heavies as Harry Wills, Kid Norfolk and other negro fighters. As a matter of fact, negro fighters in the ring are not pop- ular with the fans, as the Bill Tate-Kid Norfolk bout in New York recently | showed. * i (Copyright, 1921, H Teaching second or perhaps even further if the play is not perfectly executed. If a play is first made on the batsman, retiring that player, then the runner on first is not forced 1o advance to make room for the batsman. The batsman's retirement removes the force. The original oc- ant then retains the right to first base. Touchin him while standing on that base after the batsman has been put out at first would not re- tire him, as he retained the right to the base and was exempt from being put out while standing on it.
