'No Rule Now Exists in Major League Base Ball in Regard to Rating Pttchers CODE NOW IS LAX ON OTHER POINTS Sound Formula for Ranking Hurlers Doubtless Would Be Gladly Welcomed. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, November 6.—Talk | about changing the rules for another base ball season has given some fans the impression that a rule exists in regard to rating pitchers. There is none. Each major league president may have his pitchers rated as he thinks advisable, although both of them would gladly welcome a . sound formula. Of course, if one major league presi- dent preferred one method to another he would be at liberty to use it, and it is doubtful if it would be advisable to incorporate any method in the rules, It wnu!d be better to offer it as a sug- gestion, unless the majors determine upon some plan and i.n.sm upon its ob- gervance. Section 11 of rule 85 defines an earned run. That definition is the result of sadvice given by President John A. Heydler of the National League, who sugges the present method ~after others had failed to produce one that satisfactory. His suggestion was copied into the rules. rule 86, which determines the summary of a score, there is no provi- sion for earned runs. That is the most humorous omission in the present code and its absence has just been noted. ‘There have been arguments about earn- ed runs ever since there has been base ball, but it never occurred to any one that the compilation of earned runs had not_been provided for. ‘The blmkv‘ d{on;m l&r mjoredlzuue purposes provide for the earned runs and the Ilplull compilation always has been made, but the rules do not provide for any record of them after explll:my defining what they are. This will be attended to at the revision of the rules. In connection with pitching records, # has been suggested that no pitcher of winning innings for each pltt:her On the face of the suggestion it seems as if it would result in involved reck- It would be remain 'A:lbert flfl, BOXING‘SENSATION ON TRIAL TONIGHT Recreaton.

Jack Wolstenholme Takes His Brother’s Place as Stake Star nume Wolstenholme still oc- cuples that niche under the heading of the National Capi- tal's pet stake bowler. But in- stead of Glenn tacked in front of it, it's Jack. | ‘Washington's pet practice of shooting the flery Glenn against the best bowl- ers of other cities is passing. Jack Wol. stenholme against any of 'em, it is now. Anyway, the Lucky Strike is banking on young Jack Saturday night, which ought to mean something. A trio of Baltimore’s best, Ed Blakeney, George Lang and Wesley Askew, are coming here Saturday night and pindom may be assured something's up. Jack Wolstenholme is pitted against Wesley Askew in the first block of a 10-game match, total pins to count. Whether or not Askew is Baltimore's best can be debated, as can Wolsten- holme’s ranking as Washington's best, but less so. They hardly could im- prove on the latter choice. Not only that, but the George Lang- Ed Blakeney doubles team is carrying the idea that it is better than the Lucky Strike's best two. That means fight around the section, so Howard Camp- bell and Bernie Frye, King Pin aces, are out to puncture the Orioles’ conct Both mlr hes are going to be whas but the interest is centered around ‘Wolstenholme-Askew match. ‘,ANYBODY flourishing a handful of iron men to bet against the Original Washington Juniors team —Ben McAlwee's pride and joy—stands a good chance of losing it.

But that doesn’t stop a few friendly matches. ‘ Gino Simi, bowling chronicler, just for the fun of it, is organizing an all- Italian team, the real object of which is to take McAlwee's crew into camp. They'll meet pretty soon. The Juniors are unchanged from last year and since the time they met and humbled Mag Wood's Veterans. They include Jack Wolstenholme, Paul Har- rison, Eddie Espey, Tim Dunworth, Hokie Smith and Phil Hefllefinger. The Simi aggregation includes Ollie Pacini, Joe Pacini, Tony Santini, Joe Freschi, Mike Vitale, Johnny Nicro and Leo Rinaldi. UT of the maze of pin events that are due here Saturday night, one of the most promising is coming off at the Coliseum where Norman Schroth’s Fountain Hams, carrying a 72-pin lead, take on Ray von Dreele’s crack Baltimore Happy Five.

HEY ! THAT GARAGE ISN'T HEATED — YOUR WILL FREEZE TONIGHT !/ ALTIMORE, Md., November 6.— The Pimilico Futurity, which was won by Cornelius Vander- bilt Whitney's Equipoise yester- day, was more than a horse race. It was more than a test of speed, stamina |and courage of famous thoroughbred horses. It was a test of the sentiment, feelings and sportsmanship of the American turf. And the event proved | that the horses in it were great, but that the sentiment of the racing public was greater. It is a common saying that race- goers, with the exception of the prom- inent sportsmen and sportswomen who own big stables and maintain the sport, are hard-boiled, cold-blooded, mer- cenary creatures, void of all sentiment. This is not true. More than 15,000 persons at the track and 15 times 15,000 others in different parts of the country gave evidence to prove it is not true. They wagered on what they considered the second best horse in the race. They wanted Equipoise to win and they rooted for him and bet on him. Thou- sands in the grandstand risked 2s and 58 and 10s on him with scant hope of getting them back. They believed he was & good colt, but not the best in the race. And all this rooting and wagering sentiment and unselfishness were not because Equipoise is a turf idol. He is a grand colt. But others are just as grand. They were expressions of good RADI QT'OE Backing of Equipoise by Turf Fans Was Tribute to W hitney : gxprested to show the high esteem Lhnl owers of racing had for the memory of the colt’s former owner, the late Harry Payne Whitney, and to show the high regard it has for his son Cornelius, who was making his racing debut carrying on with the famous light blue and brown Whitney silks. And when Equipoise sped home the victor of the righ and coveted stake he received an ovation greater, more spontaneous and sincere, than any ac- corded a thoroughbred in this country in the last nnenmm Man O’ War was acclaimed by g time and again, Every Kentucky rby winner was cheered loud and long, but none ever received the uine hearty lp- plause accorded Equ'mhe yeste When he began his challes at Lhe head of the stretch the crgged began to cheer him, and they continued to z!ll and shout for him until he stuck ead in front. And when he in- u-eued this advantage and swept past the judges half a length ahead of Mrs. Whitney's Twenty Grand the thousands went wild with delight. Leading the ovation in the club house were Mrs. Payne Whitney, cwner of Twenty Grand, which was beaten on the post, and her son, John Hay Whitney. In their enthusiasm over Equipoise's remarkable performance they forgot their own disappointment and applauded the conqueror of the renowned colt for several minutes. While they and thousands of others were singing the praises of Equipoise the victor's young owner was standing in his box trembling with emotion. He NOT MINE - I'M USING ‘| PURITAN ANTI-FREEZE.
