SPORTS. Standard Base Ball Is Essential, Heydler Asserts DEPLORES COAST LEAGUE PLAN FOR A NEW SPHERE Declares Play With Different Types Would Throw Batting, Fielding and Pitching Averages Into " Confusion and Nullify Their Usefulness. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, January 21.—A standard base ball is essential to the N maintenance of major and minor league playing averages, accord- ing to President John A. Heydler of the National League. This statement is made in discussing the report that the Pacific Coast League will adopt a rubber-cored ball for the 1922 season. / “Play with balls of different types of construction would throw bat- ting. fielding and pitching averages into complete confusion, and, to a great extent, nullify the usefulness of such averages,” he said. “How could a_manager or scout of a major league team get a_line upon the ability of a minor league player if balls of various composition are to be used?” “I believe that a rule should be in- corporated in the major-minor league agreement to this effect. The rules now specify that the ball used by ail shall be of a certain weight and size, but nothing is said regarding its com- ponent parts. In the past it has been generally accepted that all the leading Jeagues used a sphere of similar con- struction. “If different leagues begin to adopt different types of ball confusion re- garding the caliber of individual and team piay will almost immediately re-: sult. Let us assume that while the Pacific_Coast League uses a rubber- cored ball another league adopts a livelier ball than the one now in gen- eral use. The result would be that it would be impossible to gain any dea of the batting, fielding or pitching ability of players in these leagues, as com- pared with the averages of the major leagues. Present Game Pleases Fans. “If attendance flgures can be taken as a criterion of the popularity of the game in the major leagues, then the fans can be safely said to approve of the type of base ball being played with the ball now in use. I am not familiar with_conditions on the Pacific coast, but T should regret to see the .game played with different types of ball in various sections of the country, for it cannot fail to destroy the comparative ! value of the records which now form no small part of our national game.” SALARY RILES ROMMEL; WILL APPEAL T0 LANDIS BALTIMORE. Md., January 21.— Pitcher Ed Rommel of the Philadel- phia Americans announced today that he is not satisfied with the contract sent him by Manager Connie Mack and that he will appeal his case to se Ball Commissioner Landis. The pitcher declared that he is tired of drawing a minor league salary with a| major league club and that it would please him if Mack were to sell or trade him. Manager Mack wrote Rommel that “the board of directors and myself have gone over all contracts carefully and have gone to the very limit in re- gard to salaries and find that it will be absolutely necessary for our clnhl 1o play better ball if we are to meet with ‘financial success the coming year.” Any player not satisfied with his contract can submit his complaint to; Judge Landis, Mack added. | DGRAW WILL GET OVER §230,000 IN FIVE YEARS NEW YORK, January 21.—John Mc- Graw has signed a contract to man- age the Giants for the next five years. McGraw was asked in connection with the contract if he had made ar- rangements to resume active duty on the coaching lines, which he has left to his assietants for several years. “It is too soon to talk about that now.” he replied. “I may go to the coaching lines this season, but cer- tainly not in the early days.” McGraw's new_salary was not an- nounced, but President Stoneham said it was in excess of the $30.000 yearly specified in the old contract. McGraw also will remain vice presi- | dent of the club, of which he is now the third largest stockholder. The veteran manager will celebrate his twentjeth anpiversary as leader of the Giahts next July. iIn that time he has placed his team in the second | division only once, in fourth place| twice, in third place once and all other seasons in iirst or second place. QUINN JUMPS RED SOX FOR A SEM-PRO BERTH! CHICAGO, January 20.—Jack Quinn, wveteran American League pitcher and at one time one of the best spit ball- ers in the league, has jumped his contract with the Boston club and signed with a local semi-professional | team for the coming season. | Quinn_spent most of his major | league career with the New York | recently being traded to | deals which sent Everett | Scott, Sam Jones and Joe Bush to the | Yankees. and Bill Piercey and Rip Collins to Boston. In announcing his decision Quinn JUDGE LANDIS GRAVELY ILL WITH BRONCHITIS CHICAGO, January 21.—Federal Judge Kegesaw M. Landis is seri- ously {ill with bronchial trouble, it was announced at his ofice last night. Judge Landis has been confined to his home several days with a d cold, but it was declared that his fallure to quickly recover had cauned his physicians to order him to bed. . The doctors said that they fear- ed influenza or pneumonia, which might prove fatal to a man of the judge’s age, and that consequently they were handling him with ex- treme care, although his condition ‘was mot critical. CENTRAL FIVE SCORES; WESTERN JOLTS TECH ‘With a perfect record for half of 1ts schedule in the high school titu- lar series, Central has gone far to- ward the basket ball championship. The Blue and White added its fourth straight win yesterday in a to-16 game with Bastern at the Coliseum, while the four other quints in the circuit are deadlocked in second place with one victory and two de-j feats each as a result of Western's surprising 26-to. triumph over Tech in an extra-period game at Cen tral High. Played out by its dashing game in the first half, from which it emerged with & I5-to-8 lead, Tech was an easy prey for the better-conditioned Wes erners in the second portion of their engagement. Before the third quar- ter ended Western was but a point behind the Manual Trainers, and in the final second of the regulation game tied the count at 22-all, when Frisby caged a free toss. 2 The five-minute overtime period was flercely fought. Jeffries' score from scrimmage for Western soon was matched by Supplee’s goal. The contest became warmer, but Kent fense for the decisive basket. West- ern was outshot from the fleld, but Frisby's brilliant work from the foul line kept it in the fray. Aubinoe was best of the vanquished team. The good floor play and accurate shooting of Capt. McFadden and the flashy performance of Dey gave Cen- tral the edge on Eastern in _their peppery contest. The Blue and White worked its way to a 15-to-10 lead in the first half and despite an Eastern rally boosted its advantage in the latter part of the match. The play- ing of O'Dea and Cardwell featured Eastern’s work. Western (26) The scores: Tech (24) Positions .Lett fo g Right forward. . Center Left guard "Right guard.

BOSTON. January 21.—Hugh Duffy, manager of the Boston Americans, when informed that Jack Quinn, vet- eran American League pitcher and considered one of the best boxmen remaining in the Red Sox ranks as! the result of recent trades, had jumped his contract with the Boston Americans, said the club would not be affected seriously by the loss. . “Of course, we counted on his serv- ices during the coming season,” he said, “but we will get along without him, “As far as I know there is nothing in the statement attributed to Quinn that Boston would have soon sent him to the bushes,” he said, adding that “it is Quinn's own lookout.

QUINT Playing basket ball every minute of | the engagement, Catholic University's | team nosed out the George Washing- ton University tossers, 24 to 19, on the Coliseum floor last night. The | Brooklanders never abandoned their short passing attack and five-man de- fense and worked their way to a lead in the second half, when the Hatchet- iites faltered befors the determined and consistent play. Daring the first half George Wash- ington guarded carefully and earned a 14 to 11 advantage. It opened play with a dash that quickly gave it a healthy lead, but the Brooklan-lers became active toward the close of the initial session and seriously threaten- ed to knot the count. They did so after playing nine min- utes in the second half, Fasce's scriu mage goal making the score 15 al Lynch then dropped a toss from the foul line that gave Catholic Univer- sity the lead for the first time during the encounter. From then on, the teams alternated as leaders until Lawler's basket made Catholic Uni- versity’s score 20 against 18 for the Hatchetites. ® Capt. Lynch and Fasce of the win- ners played spectacular floor games, the former's work being especially impressive. Gosnell, who had starred for George Washington in early games, was 8o closely guarded that he was able to pocket only one fleld toss. Altrup at center and Capt. Daily at guard were the mainstays of the Hatchetites. COLLEGE BASKET BALL.

Thompson of Ohio State COLUMBUS, Ohio, January 21.—Athletics are not overemphasized in University and President Harry Pratt Judson of the University of Chicago agreed in speeches delivered here last night before the Chicago University Alumni Association of Central Ohio. to the recent statement of President Lox importance was being attached to intercollegiate sports. thletics at Ohio State University have not been overemphasized, and I believe the same is true of other west- ern conference schools,” said Presi- dent Thompson. “Limitations placed by conference rules have eliminated that. Sixteen or seventeen ¥ we were confronted with a threat of that nature, but it no longer exists. Our schedules. limited to seven games. are in striking contrast to the schedules of from eight to twelve games attempted in eastern schopls. “The victory of our foot ball team at Princeton last year came as a sur- prise to many - easterners, who had not considered such a thing possible.” declared Dr. Judson. “Some of the eastern colleges do not appreciate middle western institutions to the fullest extent, and they occasionally awake to a situation similar to that recently stated by President Lowell, in regard to athletics. and mention it as If it had never been discovered before. We long ago met the situation outlined by President Lowell and under our present system we have no fear of athletics assuming too great a share of importance. Presi- dent Lowell is right in saying that the primary purpose of educational institutions 1s education.” The main part of Dr. Judson's ad- dress was confined to a description of plans for establishment of a new medical school at his institution.

EW YORK, January 21—Professional foot ball is a menace to the college sport, as it robs the game of many of its greatest character- H. Yost, for twenty years gridiron coach at the University of Michigan, said in an address here last night. of the Michigan alumni of New York | The professional sport, Caach Yost said, tends to make the college for its own sake; robs the game of n vement's sake service, loyalty, sacrifice and whole- hearted devotion to a cause which mark the college player. “The professional “sport is blamed, in part at Jeast for the critical atti- tude many students and alumni and others are assuming toward players who are representing them on_col- lege athletic field,” said Coach Yost. Too Many Crities, He Says. “Criticising the play of an individual or a team by fellow students or alumni is the wrong attitude. Jt is ingrati- tude, as the men of the team are giv- ing ‘ther very best efforts to their university, which is more than their critics are doing.” Coach Yost also deplored the ten- dency to stage intersectional foot ball ‘games and extend the gridiron seaxon. He declared the first consider- ation of men in college should be the obtaining of an education and the fitting of themselves for life in the world. Athletics, he said, are merely one of the means toward that end and should not be permitted to eclipse the other school activities, No_schedule should be drawn up that would require a team to spend too much time away from home. This necessitates absence from classes, thereby working against the chief purpose of the college,” he said. Big Advantage for Some. With regard to more rigid control of athletics, the * ip” mel Prabhletics, the “hurry up" mentor “When two schools meet that hav different rules of eligibility as regarie the standing of athletics in_scholar- ship the dontest is unfair.

NO GOLF CODE,ACTION BYW.G. A. EXPECTED CHICAGO, Jaruary 21.—Delegates to the annual meeting of the Western 7 Golf Association to be held tonight indicated that while there might be some discussion as to rules and poli- cies for the coming year. no definite action was expected, as the executive committee had authority to make any changes whenever deemed necessary Any_action in regard to rules by the United States Golf Association was deferred at its annual meeting last Saturday to its executive com- mittee.
