* SPORTS." 'T en-Man Ball Team Interests Players : 'BREAK FOR HURLER HSUGEESTED INRULE “Would Let Pitcher Finishk, but Not Bat in Last Innings of Game. BY GEORGE CHADWICK. EW YORK, January 22.—When the boys gather around the hotel lobbles and on the play- ing flelds in a few weeks at the Spring training camps there will - be a lot of conversation churned up about the ten-man base ball team. This suggestion, it will be recalled, ‘was made by John A. Heydler, presi- dent of the National League, and it is & fact that in base ball circles right | now increased interest is being dis-| played in the subject. The ten-man team idea has met no | overwhelming indorsement because it invclves a very radical change in the national game. Grandfather, father and son have grown up thinking and | talking nine-man base ball, and it is a bit hard to push over a new taeory of this kind. This observer herewith presents a suggested modification of the rules of base ball which would do much to give pitchers a fair deal and would put an end to strategy by which managers de- liberately try to force a strong pitcher out of the box, or by which a manager sacrifices a strong pitcher to gamble on one batter and a possible victory. New Clause Suggested. Rule 28, section 2, now reads: “Any such substitute at any stage of the game, except when the ball is in play. may take the place of a player whose name is in his team's batting order, but the player whom he succeeds sha'l not thereafter participate in that game.” Now add to this section the following new clause: “Except that the pitcher jof the team first at bat remain in the game to its completion if a substitute batter, and only a substitute batter, take his place after the last half of the| seventh inning has been played, and | that the pitcher of the team second at| bat may remain in the game if a sub- stitute batter, and only & substitute batter, take his place after the last half of the sixth inning has been played.” ‘This would provide that a pitcher might have a pinch hitter bat for him in the eighth or ninth inning if the team were first at bat, and in the In other words, a pitcher could pitch a full game, as he should be entitled to pitch, if he were beyond the half-way mark. Force Good Hurlers Out. ‘There are managers who maneuver to force a good pitcher on an opposing team out of the game. They are justi- in doing that because it is part base ball strategy. on balls has been given more once to bring up the pitcher as ’;!‘\e mext batsman, not only b?g&se ‘t’he itcher might not be a good pitcher, but _because the opposing manager hoped | #that the pitcher would be lifted from the game for a pinch hitter. A pitcher who has pitched a gzood game for eight innings is entitled to some recognition in the rules by which Af a’ batter is substituted for him late o n&,ucmnz contest_he may stay in the game. ‘The_rtule for substitutions, as used Hiow, never interided to go so far as it has. There was no idea that any man- ager would run in six or seven extra ball players before a game was over. The theory of substitution in the old days ‘was to provide that if a man were in- Jured another man could play for him. “Kicked on Pinch Runner. ‘There was a time when the umpire decided whether a player could be sub- stituted, and away there were occasional games in which one side finished with eight players because it wasn't certain what was to be done. After the modern rule came into effect it was believed quite radical. a Cleveland and Chicago game'a. Tunner got on first for Cleveland, and Pat Tebeau, then Cleveland manager, took Bim off and put on another. Pop Anson, captain of Chicago, in- sisted that Tebeau could not substitute | a runner for the man on first except | by the consent of Anson, as had been . the custom. “Read the rules, Cap.” said Tebeau. Anson found the rule but still argued. SHIRES IS SMILING AFTER SEEING BUSH! By the Assoclated Press.

EAST SHOWS WAY IN COURT BATILES Intersectional Tilting Is in Its Favor in Floor Game This Winter. | By the Associated Press, EW YORK, January 22.—The East fared none too well in foot ball's intersectional war- fare, but it is getting some measure of revenge on the basket ball court. A more or less complete tabulation gives Eastern cage fives a record of 28 victories in 39 games, against foes from the Midwest, South and Far West. Twenty-one of these triumphs have been scored at the expense of Midwest- ern teams; six over Southern aggre- gations and one over the Far West. Of the 11 defeats inflicted on the East, eight go to the credit of the Midwest; two to the South and one to the Far ‘West. Most active in defense of Eastern honors has been the crack University of Pittsburgh quint, led by Charles Hyatt, former Uniontown, Pa., high school star. Pitt has rolled up 11 straight wins so far this season and eight of them have been over teams from other sections of the basket ball front. Pitt's victims include Indiana, Northwestern and Ohio State of the Western Conference, Nebraska of the Big Six, Montana State of the Rocky Mountain Conference, Wittenberg of the Ohio Big Five, Jowa and Notre Dame. Penn, Syracuse and Duquesne have chalked up three intersectional tri- umphs each. Penn beat Indiana and Ohio State of the Western Conference and Georgia Tech of the Southern, but was forced to bow to Michigan in an- other start. Syracuse trimmed Mich- igan State and Ohio ,University and broke even in two games with Creighton of the Missouri Valley Conference. Duguesne Scores Wins, Dugquesne accounted for victories over John Carroll of Cleveland, Adrian of Michigan and Elmhurst of Illinois, but the Dukes were beaten by Loyola's great five at Chicago as well as by Towa. The East has n extremely suc- cessful against the bigger conferences. Pitt and Penn' have accounted for five wviglories in six games with Western Conference aggregations, and inst the Southern Conference and Af tic Seaboard teams have four victories against two defeats. Georgia Tech dropped four of its five games on an Eastern invasion, but Duke made up partially for these setbacks by trounc- ing the Navy. An even break exists so far as East- ern competition with the Missouri Val: ley, Rocky Mountain and Big Six Con- ferences is concerned. Nebraska defeat- ed West Virginia/to make up for its loss to Pitt, and Montana State outscored Penn State afier losing to Pitt by one point. Syracuse got no better than a draw with Creighton in two games. Most of the intersectional warfare is over for another year, and in the few games that remain the East hardly can be forced out of its commanding posi- tion, PILKINGTON, HERRERA SIGN.

The Cardinals were playing Cincinnati that day and the Reds were getting decidedly the better of things. Man- ager Huggins decided it was a good time to see what I would do under fire, so he put me in the game at shortstop, relieving Artie Butler, Most of that year I had spent with Dennison, in the Western Association. Dennison won the pennant that sea- son, but I was taken away from the team early in September and brought to St. Louis by Bob Connery, then a scout, but now president of the St. Paul club. It was not a red letter day for me, however, for I failed to do anything at bat and failed to have a fielding chance come my way. I was up twice and l%::ir was pitching against us for the s. Three or four days later I was given is a different game, with much greater shift in touch and timing, perience. She still rules largely through her ability to express power consistently and keep it under control. She hits a fennis ball just a little too lustily for most of the opponents who face her in compe- tition. And she is faster on her feet than many give her credit for being, although in this respect she is no Suzanne Lenglen. Mrs. Moody is still good enough to beat any other woman tennis player in the world in straight sets whenever she is right and ready to go. - LENNA COLLETT has won the woman'’s golf championship of the United States four times, which happens to be a record. As she also is still young and strong and the best woman golfer we have, there is no rea- son why she should not increase this record. But the odds in her favor for 1930 are not nearly as rose-colored as they are for Mrs. Moody. Glenna Collett will be about an even-money choice against the field, or nearly so. But when you consider the golfing skill of Helen Hicks, Mrs. Pressler, Virginia Van Wie, Maureen Orcutt, Mrs, Higble and many others, you can see that she will have no easy canter through the golfing arch of triumph. Miss Collett is another woman star who rules partly through power. She is one of the longest hitters among the ‘women, and, for that matter, is up with many men who play from 75 to 80. I have seen her reach greens 500 yards away in two full shots, which is long enough for anybody. BY ROGERS As Told to John F. McCann. the Major Leagues.” HORNSBY, anothet chance, playing & full game against Brooklyn. Again I went with- out a hit in four times at bat, but I had a number of chances at short. I made one error, but it was not costly. It was in this same series that I found myself with the bat and had a perfect day, with two hits in two ofi- cial times ‘at bat. I remember, too, that I started a double play, and T got quite a thrill out of that. I had never possessed anything like a 300 batting average when I was a kid with the Dennison team, and there was no thought nor indication of major league batting crowns then. But-Man- ager Huggins made some suggestions about my style of batting that were calculated to help me out. I was just a gangling youngster when I reported to the Cardinals and I con- fess that I had a penchant for sofling my uniform. I have often been re- minded of that by people who remem- ber my first efforts on & major league diamond. (Copyright, 1930.) THE SPORTLIGHT, BY GRANTLAND RICE Champions and Their Chances for 1930, NOS. 6 AND 7—HELEN WILLS MOODY AND GLENNA COLLETT. HE safest tip in sport is to pick Mrs. Helen Wills Moody to win the next women’s tennis championship of the United States, Wimbledon or anywhere else. She has barely come to her peak and there is no one else close. Glenna Collett has a much harder assignment ahead, since golf | keener competition and a much and even form. It hasn't the de- pendable qualities of tennis, to be counted on week after week or year after year. Mrs. Moody, being in or around her middle twenties, still has youth and power, plus all her skill and so much added ex- Miss Collett has improved her steadi- ness greatly in the last two years. No small part of this has been due to her improved putting, a department in which she was inconsistent for a long spell. Today she strokes the ball with greater smoothness and improved con- fidence. Miss Collett is planning to go abroad. As the announcement has been made that Miss Wethered, the British cham- plon, will not enter the next champion- ship, the American star will be favored to win over any other nomination. She is easily the second best woman golfer in the world, and not so far away from Britain's ruling queen, who hits a golf ball with sounder form than any male star, according to many experts. It has been Miss Collett’s ambition to win the British woman's title, and | only the spectacular play of Joyce ‘Wethered stopped her last year in the final round, where Miss Collett stepped out in 34 at St. Andrews, By increasing the scope of her swing Miss Collett has also increased her con- trol. Her iron play has improved, and, in fact, she is a better all-round golfer in every way than she was two years ago. The American champion will make a big stab this year to win both titles. And if she can win only one of the two major events there wiil be nothing to complain about in this day and age of heavy competition, where so many woman golfers are playing so well and glving so much attention to building up | a sound game.

He was one stroke ahead of his two nearest competitors, Missourl’s youthful threat, Horton Smith, and Charles Guest, Los Angeles. Dutra looked to the third 18 holes today with a 146 score. Yesterday he shot 72, the mnearest approach of the day to the 71 which represents par. But he was not alone, for with him came his brother, Mortie, of Tacoma, Wash., whose 72 placed him in a six-cornered tie for third position. The stern task of continuing this superb brand of play in order to retain the leadership burdened Olin’s shoul- ders, for there were 10 other links ex- perts within three strokes of the top, with 36 holes remaining to be played.

Wrist Lengthens Golf Drives This is the tefth of a series of articl written by famous amateur and proj sional golfers, telling how they overcame outstanding faults in their play. BY HERMAN BARRON, Star New York State Profession Y greatest fault in golf has been lack of distance. Usually I am as strajght as any one, but for a long time I couldn’t get on the long holes with my second shots. You have to do this to compete on even terms with the best of the professionals. Lack of distance is a fault with probably the largest part of the golf- ing fraternity, but I didn’t feel any better because of that. I have a robust physique, with strong arms and wrists, and there seemed no real reason why 1 should always have to pway second fiddle off the tee. When I started in golf I was cautioned against swinging too hard. Jones Hits Through On Chip From Sand BY SOL METZGER. Here are sketches of Bobby Jones finishing his chip shot from a sand trap to the adjoining green. Note that he is taking some sand with his niblick and that his follow through is most marked. You cannot play any golf shot well without follow through. The chip from sand demands it as much_as does the drive or putt. You hit through. But this follow through proves that you must meet the sand with firm wrists as you swing your club down to the ball. Otherwise your ¢lub would dig its JONES FINISHING CHIP NOTE FOLLOW S THROUGH= SOME. SANO St I [ way into the sand and stop, snuffing all the life out of your blow. Scrape through the sand with firm wrists. That's the idea. No shot is harder to desribe than this chip from sand. But the gen- eral plan of playing it has been set down. Now why not do as Bobby has so often done, practice the shot at home? We'll explain how he does s0 in the next release. The pivot is the least understood phase in golf instruction.

Allmodern, popular- priced cigars—like mod- ern cigarettes—are made by scientific machinery, in clean and sanitary facto- ries ... The old way of seal- My instructors told me rhythm and grace produced timing, and that timing was the secret of golf. I spent a long: time assimilating this idea. I practiced continually with this in view. No doubt I carried the idea to the extreme. My timing was all right, but T put no punch into my shots, This helped me immeasurably with my short game, and I never have had any difficulty with my pitches. They will keep up with any one’s. But though the chip stroke is a great stroke saver 1t doesn’t aid you so much if you waste shots along the way, My longer shots were played too softly. When I tried getting more power into my shots I found that in- variably the harder swing ruined my timing and threw me off my game altogether. On short courses I scored well, for I never felt the need of press~ ing, but when they were stretched out to champlonship length I always was under a handicap. Well, what do you do under circum- stances like that?” I had to get greater distance or play every tournament under a handicap. When I tried to add power I lost my timing. It meant the readjustment of my swing. The theory of the stroke remained the same, of course. All I had to do was learn to get more speed into my clubhead at the point of impact. This means throwing the right wrist through with more power against the resisting left without getting the shoulders or the body into it to aid the effort. The mechanics of my shot had been good enough before, but I never had given the smashing power the stroke should have I have partly corrected this fault by standing on the practice tee and hitting thousands of shots. It was discourag- ing at first to find gyself cutting across the ball because my shoulders were getting into the stroke or my hands were getting ahead of the club in my anxiety for punch, but by gradually lgplyln[ ‘power ‘through a succession of shots I began to find that I was getting more nearly the distance I should. But there still is a lot of practice ahead of me before I begin to be satisfied. Next: John Dawson, (Copyright, 1030. by North American News- paper Alliance.)

THOMAS, ET ready, you expert bowlers, for more sweepstakes, When 57 entered the How- ard Campbell Sweepstakes, nearly twice'as many as ever before, an idea danced into the bean of Bill Wood, boss of the Lucky Strike and two King Pins. “If the bowlers like that sort of com- petition so much, why not give 'em more of it?” thought William, And today he had things planned for enough sweepstakes to keep the stars satisfied the remainder of the season. Starting Saturday after next, a week- ly sweepstakes will be held at big King Pin, Entry Fee Two Berries. ‘The entry fee will be two bucks, with 60 cents additional for cost of three games. Sixty per cent of the total entry money will go to the winner, 30 to the runner-up and 10 to the third high man. Entries will remain open until a few minutes before starting time, which will be 7:15 o'clock. John Pop Evans will be there, as usual, to run things. The weekly tournament will be open to all bowlers, including those of neighboring counties. Wood has talked over his plan with a number of participants in the Camp- bell sweepstakes and all have been en- -husiastic. He appears to have hit upon the best idea yet for Saturday night bowling. Managers and proprie- tors have been trying for several years to develop organized competition on Saturday -with little success. Few leagues care for the week-end date, Masonic Tourney Draws. In the meantime the stars are firing away in preparation for the final set of the Campbell classic, to be rolled next Saturday night at the King Pin. They drew for alleys last week and many of them are taking dally work- outs on the drives they will use Satur- day. Bob Barnes, the King Pin man- ager, has promised to have 'em in the slickest shape. Arville Ebersole, in charge of -the Masonic League sweepstakes to be held next month at Convention Hall, likely will be swamped with entries. Not ail the Masonic pin shooters in the eity and suburbs are members of the league, but all have been invited to take part in the tournament, which will be a handicap affair, sTR;YEB GIRLS WIN.
