Last season Babe Ruth was the unanimous choice of the committea of sport writers making the eelec- tion. The Babe pulled a remarkable comeback. Walter Johnsen draws the honor in the third year of competition. . e It is fitting that Johnson, after 17 years of remarkable pitehing, should be 0 honored. This has been one of his hest years. He won on his merits. Now if Johnson could get a whirl at the big series, it would be the end of a perfect scason. Washington is fighting hard to win the right’ to take part in the baseball clssic Johneon Is vhe team's inspiration. The best compliment that could possibly be paid Johnson is the atti- tude of the rival players of thef | American league, T have never heard | ‘fln opposing player say an unkind word about him. The big fellow is a popular favor- ite in his profession. Like the fans, the players would like to see him In action in a world series, . . | No-player on the ball field can make enemies more quickly than the piteher. He is in a position to do many things. 1t is the pitcher who humbles the batter by making him pop up or | strike out in a pinch. Very often the batter doesn't approve of the tactics used to bring about his dis- comfiture In the 20 years I have been um- piring major league ball, Walter Johnson sfands out as the epeediest of all pitchers 1 have ever seen in on. q Opposing batters do not relish fac- ing a pitcher with great speed. If| the pitcher happens to he a trifle [wild it makes the situation all the | more unpleasant. While Johnson has always been one of the most cffective pitchers in the game, largely because of his| | tast bail, he could have made him- | ‘mr alnost unhittable Tiad he carad | to resort to unsportsmaniike tactics. | With many pltchers the “bean- ball” has long been a “(\.lpr)n of in- timidation. The *bean- is the | throwing of a fast one close to the ‘ hatter's head, not to hit him but | merely throw a scare into him. Had Johneon resorted to such tac- ties he wounld have heen evem more | effective, but would have gained the | enmity of hig profession. help his effectivenees. With the Amerlean league um- Johnson is as great a favorite as with the players. The reason— he the pitching and lets the umpires call the playe. ¥ ey pires, loes )all fans and the members of profession are delighted at the ction of Johnson as the mest bie player of 1924 in the Amér- cague. is questionable if a more popu- lar choice will ever be agreed on for | honor.

HIGK-OFF RULINGS CHANGES THIS YEAR Rectiving Team Can Be 10 Yds. Abead of Kickers' Line T New York, Bept. 20.—A change in the ‘football rules for 1924 which permits the receiving eleven to be behind a line 10 yards in front of the point from which the kickoft is made, no matter what yard line is nounced by Chairman E. K. Hall, of rules committee, The foljowing clause is added to rule § and in effective im- mediate “In casé the kickoff is made from | a point behind the middle of the field, the opponents shall he behind a line 10 yards in front of the spot trom which the kick is made.” | Tn 1923 and for seevral years pre. | vious, the rules provided that a| team should kick off from “its ewn 40 yard line at a point equidistant from the side lines.” At the meeting of the rules committee last February | field, artificial tees were abolished | and the opposing eleven was re- strained on its own 40-yard line. 1t was then suggested than on a muddy field it might be difficult to | get away, a good kick without the | use of an actificial tee and accord- irgly the rule was changed to pro- vide that the kickoff might be made from the middle of the field or “any point directly back of it,” thus mak- ing it possible to go back such dis- tance ad might be necessary to get a firm spot for the kick. | RETAINS HIS TITLE Eydney, N. 8.
