What Makes a Great Hitter? WERE are hundreds of young ball players who can field well enough to hold jobs in most any com pany, but they falter at the plate Hitters seem to be born, not made, this being so because some feliow have a better coordination of mind and muscle. The really great hitters in baseball are men who hit to all fields. Dead left or right field hitters are up against a big hit i handicap because the defense can play for them in such a manner as to seriously cut down their chances of safe blows. Very few men in baseball are suc cessful who hit to one field. One of the great exceptions has been Cy Williams, the Philadelphia National league outfielder, who doesn’t hit a half a dozen balls in left field in a season. ‘He pulls the ball to right field and has the power to drive the | ball thru concentfated defense, — | Ability to hit to any field and not| trying to pull the ball, but hitting an Outside ball to right field and an in side hall to left, has been the secret of Brick Hldred's success, Eldred hits a ball terrifically to right field because he hits naturally with the ball on the outside. | NURMI SETS’ | NEW RECORD YORK, March 13,—Ps the phntom Finn, set a new NEV Nurmi, tancé in 6:26 2-6 miles in 9:03 1-5, the world’s Nurmi made two| tive record.

The ceremonies will be held just prior to the regatta with the University of British Colum- bia. Mrs, Harry Gowman, wife of the prominent hotel man, will christen the shell. The building of the new shell for the Washington eight was made possible by a gift from Gow- man of $1,000 for that purpose. The Huskies will have two new shells this year, instead of one. “We feel very grateful to Mr. Gowman,” Crew Coach “Rusty” Callow declared this morning, “It cértainly makes the boys feel good to know that the business men are behind our athl teams.” The University board of con- trol announced at its last meet- ing that the name of the new shell would be the Harry Gow- man. NO CHANGES IN FOOTBALL BY HENRY L. FARRELL 3W YORK, March 13.—Leading officials and 5s here to day for the annual meeting of the football rules committee, agreed |that nothing much is wrong with |the game and that the rules do not need extensive revision Several minor changes prob- ably will be made in existing rules, It is certain the kickoff rule will be changed so that the old system of using a tee on the kicker’s 40-yard line will be stored, Last year the ball was kicked from midfield without a tee and almost invariably land- ed behind the receiver's goal line, ‘The game was necessarily slowed up by taking the ball out to the 20-yard line to resume play. It is also possible a change may made in the rules altering the penalty for offside pla The now provide that the team offended gets five yards and a first down. Knute Rockne, Notre Dame coach, has been leading a fight against the rule, on the ground that it is too heavy a handicap on the offending team. Some changes may be made Semi-Finals on in Big Cage Tourney KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 13.— Four teams of the 32 that entered the national A.
