g S PORTS. LEWIS, MILAN, JOHNSON TO DECIDE FLAG FATE Interest of Local Followers of Base Ball in Large Measure Centers Around Showing Duffy Will Make in His 14th Season. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. N EXT to speculation regarding Walter Johnson's ability to “come back” following the injury to his arm that put him on the shc!f shortly after midseason, in 1920, interest of Washington fans this year will be centered in the accomplishments of George Edward Lewis, the fly-chasing member of the pair o i athletes obtained from the Yankees in the deal that gave Sir Robert Roth a strangle hold on the title of the most traveled man in base ball. eorge Edward, who answers more readily to the euphonious and pithy nickname of Duffy, like Johnson, is not so young as he used to be and already has lasted far beyond the average span of diamond service, accounted for largely, as in the case of Walter, by a temperate and well-ordered manner of living. Where the king of pitchers will be striving to regain the form that caused his name to be writ large in the annals of the sport, the problem confronting Lewis will be that of car- rying on—h e and that of Clyde Milan_heing analogous. In_a great mensuie the success of the Nationals this year may be id to rest on the accomplishments of this trio of vet- erans. Play Alongside Youngsters. In nearly every other position Man- ager George McBride .will have per- formers of comparatively tender years —most of them well seasoned. but un- der the thirty-year mark, and wich many fewer seafons of actual foil on the fleld behind them than the sixteen Milan has seen, Johnson's fifteen and Lewis' thirteen, including their terms of apprenticeship in the minors. In some instances those of Harris, Court- ney and Zachary. to mention a few. mere youths are expect=d to fill rezu- lars’ positions alongside plavers who more than a decade ago had firmly es- tablished their reputations as p formers of big league caliber and who thus far have been able to hold their own, despite the handicap of advanc- ing years and the competition of more active and keenly ambitious young- sters. As far as Johnson is concerned. he This Veteran's Showing To Interest Fans Here and President Griffith hoth are san- guine the trouble he experienced last year with that wonderful right arm— the first in _all his carcer—has been alleviated. The first few wecks of the season will disclose whether their confidence is well founded. In regard to Milan the fans have little apprehension. When Zeh was stricken in Chicago in midseason in 1919 and compelled to lay off for weeks at a time it was feared his ca- reer had been brought to a close, but when he bobbed up last season with the splendid sticking average of .3 over a stretch of 126 games it became apparent his recovery was 8o thor- ough that followers of base ball here- abouts expect to see Zeb patrolling the outer stretches at the Georgla avenue plant for several seasons yet. Conjecture ax to Lewis. There is more room for conjecture anent Lewis. In New York, where Lewis has toiled for the past two seasons, after spending a year in the Navy, following eight _ successive campaigns with Boston, Duffy is re- garded as having slippéd to a great extent from the form he displayed when he, with Harry Hooper and Tris Speaker, formed one of the greatest outfield trios of all time. Never a fast man, Lewis naturally has slowed up on his eet with the has slowed up on his feet with the Nationals will lose in the way of speed by his substitution in the gar- den for Roth they will more than make up in other respects. Duffy’s batling av.rage practically is on a par with that of Roth. who consistently biffed around the .285 mark, regardless of wiere he hap- pened to be pastiming. In every other respect Lewis is far the supcrior of Roth and in regard has few laying the sun field. base paths, Duffy can snare fly balls with the best of them, having How- ard Shanks' knack of starting quickly and being a sure catch. His throwing arm, which compared favorably with those of Speaker and Hooper, two of the swiftest and most accurate peg- gers the game ever produced, seems to have lost none of ils strength or cunning. and. withal, he is of the type ! that makes for the vital essential of | team play. being tractable as weil as | intelligent. Ealled to Jibe With Hugginx. | Those in close touch with conditions | prevailing in the camn of the Y kees last scason assert that cision 10 part with Lewis was d not by his loss of ability as a player, but because he and Miller Huggins failed to get along amicably. Lewis' name often was mentioned in the last two years as a probabie successor to Huggins on the numerous occasions when it seemed the manager might be deposed, it even being said that the sub- ject was broached to Duffy by one of the Yankee owners. Whether this had anything to do with the alleged strained relations between the two is problematical, but whatever made it possible for Clark iffith to obtain Lewis and Mogridge in exchange for Roth is regarded as a fortunate circumstance for Washing- ton fans. They are looking for Lewis to experfence the hencficial effects vsually following a chanze of scen- ery. and believe if Johnson and Milan also can w ing campaign that the team George McBride is to boss will prove a big factor in deciding where the 1921 pen- rant shall fly. Plays That Puzzle Vemm—BY BILLY EVANS——/ DUFFY LEWIS. NEW BASE BALL RULES National Council to Submit Code and Working Measures to Ameri- can League Owners. CLEVELAND, Ohio, February 10.— Rules and working measures drawn up by the new National base ball council are to be submitted to the American League club owners at their meeting here tomorrow for approval. The 1921 playing schedule also is up for adoption, although its submission is mostly a formality. A number of rules for an agreement between the minors and majors and between the major leagues themselves were drawn up at the first session of !the new council, consisting of Judge K..M. Landis and Presidents Heydler nd Johnson of the National and American Leagues, at Chicago last aturday. These will be effective when approved by both leagues, but lieved there will be little ar- nt qver their adoption, which cludes the reorganization of base ball started last November. SEEKS MODEL LAW TO STOP BRIBING COLUMBUS, Ohio, February 10.— Garry Herrmann, president of the Cin- cinnati club, was here to confer with Gov. Davis,’ Attorney General John G.

Umpire Harrison Il SARANAC LAKE, N, February 1 —F. A. (Pete) Harrison, National League | base ball umpire, has arrived here from Youngstown, Ohio. He was so ill that he had to be carried from the train. Harrison's health became _{mpaired shortly after the conclusion of the 1920 This play created confusion in a game last summer and resulted in a forfeiture as well as « protest. There was a runner on third. The bat n put on the squevze. Hix bunt struck about a yard foul along the first-hase line and continued to roll in foul ter- ritery. The runner on . off with the pitch. crossed e on the bunt, while raced for first. After the b ed half way to first hase and was still about a foot foul, the umpire decided it would remain %o and called “Foul ball." The batsman started to return to the plate. The other runner started to g0 back to third. Then the ball struck some obstruction and bounded into fair territory. It was fielded by the first baseman a foot inside the line, about thirty feet from first base. He then ran back and touched the base, claiming the out. It was apparent the ball was falr. What was the proper ruling?, to Stick to Rauling. Although It was app was fair, there was nothing for the umpire to do but ride along with his first decision that the ball was foul When be so declared the play too quickly it caused the bateman to stop running. Had he been permitted to continue he would have beaten the play and the run would have counted Calling _the ball foul caused play to cease. Eiven though he knew he was wrong, in justice to the team at bat, the umpire had no other recourse than to stick to his original ruling. Penn Out of A. A. U.

EW YORK, February 10—Unless something blows up, the middle- weight champion, Johnny Wilson of Boston, will get into the ring tonight for the first time in many months, his opponent be- ing Navy Rostan of Joliet, IIl. Wis., and may be better than many In this connection an interesting story is told which points to the help- 1 and constructive things a boxing commission can do when it sets out. When the Wisconsin commissioners heard of the proposed Wilson-Rostan bout, the nostrils of the boxing com- missioners began to wiggle a bit when they decided that this bout had better be investigated before, rather than after, it took place. Proves He Ix No Easy Mark. So Rostan was invited to take a run to Milwaukee from Joliet and pro- duce. He didn't know he was going to be investigated. The purported idea of the invitation was to have Rostan show his goods in Milwaukee in or- der to work up public interest in the ‘Wilson-Rostan bout. Ted Jamieson, a first-rate amateur middleweight, was picked to go five rounds against the Joliet boy. When Rostan entered the ring he was surprised to find all the commissioners present at the ringside. Jamieson soon made it evi- dent to Rostan that this was no play bout; he tore into the pro like a house afire. When the Illinois battler realized what was up he laid down to his work and performed so -efficiently that the bout went one round short of the proposed five. But it was a classy go while it lasted. Well, the commis- sioners decided that Rostan was no set-up for Johnny Wilson or any one Americans to Go to England To See Title Polo Matches BY WALTER CAMP. N Club grounds in EW YORK, February 10.—In spite of the high cost of polo seats at the international title matches to be played at' the Hurlingham gland, many Americans already are preparing to make the trip. There will be any number of parties ready to pay the $41 to $102 per person for the three-game series. Unfortunately, our polo team is go- ing to England in “plecemeal” fash- jon. It would have been far better had it been possible for the American players to go abroad as a unit. Polo requires the height of co-operation, not only in play but in spirit. It has heen a long time since the days of the exploits of James Gordon Bennett and Zabriskie on the old polo field at Newport, but the game has taken on such Interest in this country that the American team’s effort this year to bring back the cup will be fol- lowed by thousands throughout the country. While polo always will be a rich man's sport—at least until the Army takes more of a hand in it—it has risen greatly in popular estimate. International polo competition be- gan in 1886, and since then England has won four and America three. Harold Cutbill, the great Boston university runner, is a student in the divinity school. He sald he had tak- en up athletics in order to be of great- er service and influence among the boys of his prospective parish. (Copyright, 1921.) —_— Yankee in British Crew. F. B.

K. Mitchell a Britton. Pinkey Mitchell's action in deposit- ing $10,000 In a Milwaukee bank as a {side bet on his ability to take the measure of Jack Britton in a ten or fifteen round bout calls attention to an interesting situation in the Mitchell family. It relates to Richie Mitchell's act of brotherly affection in Keeping down to the lightweight limit in order that his younger brother may have full swing in the higher division. At least, this is the dope of a prominent western 8porting man now in this city. Richie, he says, is really a we terweight and Is weakened when he fights at the lightweight Limit. Thé discrepancy in size as between Richie and Benny Leonard was noted when the two met in the ring at the Madi- son Square Garden last month. The Milwaukeean was much the bigger boy, and it required no shrewd judge of physical form to appreciate that he had been obliged to pinch himself in to a degree which must have affect- ed his strength and stamina. Just as Willle Hoppe, the billiard champion, and Edouard Horemans, the Belgian expert, seemed to have clinch- ed their great 18.2 balkline billiard match a hiatus occurred in the mat- ter of conditions. Hoppe wants to play a thousand points and Horemans wants to make it three thousand. Billiardists agree that the longer route would prove a better test, in- |asmuch as the influence of lucky breaks would be lessened, if not elimi- nated. But Hoppe is the champion and has the right to name the terms. If Horemans is really desirous of a match he will hardly let this point interfere with the meeting. (Copyright, 1921.)
