—————i[ STORMY SLUGGERS TO MINGLE AT ARMORY HALL
By PERCY H. WHITING.
Far,away up In the very heights of the Ponce DelsCon press box the
fatigued sport writers sometimes sit and wonder "why such a blankety-
blank-blank lot of thrice unblessed Idiots come out to see a ball game."
This “wonder” Is no regular happening, but comes now and then when the
weather Is hot and the game poor and the Hies numerous and Irritating,
and every "tegular" is satiated with baseball.
We frequently hear folks remark, “Well. I don't see how anybody can
get any fun out of watching a football game," and lots of them actually
don't get any fun.
It Is quite freely admitted that there Is no fun In watching running
horses race unless one “has a bet down" or Is about to put one down, or
hss put one too many down, or some such thing.
And so on down thru the whole list of sporting events. It Is a ques
tion for advanced “stkologlsts" (excuse phonetlclsm. but If It la written
that way nobody mistakes It for physlographlsts, physicist or some such
thing; we're rather for thlB reformed stuff ourselves). If they can tell
us whst It Is thst makes people go crazy about witnessing sporting events
they have been going some.
The staggering question, tho, Is:
Why the dickens to people go to six-day bike races?
When these races were first given the bicycle wns In Its best days.
The sport was flew then and the spectacle was very horrible, for men
rode and rode until they dropped, all but dead from exhaustion.
But six-day racing has outlived the bicycle fad. It has outlived the
novelty of the thing. And It has been toned down, by the law prohibiting
one man from riding more than 12 hours a day, so that It has few of the
really horrible features that drew the morbid spectators to the early
races. 1
The best thing that has appeared lately about alx-day racing wns from
the pen of Bob Edgren. of The New York Evening World. He doesn't
pretend to explain why people go to see the races, but he draws a very
vivid picture, which would tend to show why they ought not to want
to go.

MOGULS OF BOTH BIG LEAGUES
HOLD REAL LOVE FESTIVAL
NEW YORK, Dac. 11.—At Ihs con
clusion of Ihs American League meet
ing, held here yesterday afternoon, the
National League delegalea were Invited
to visit their rivals In a joint meeting
at the Wolcott and the National League
owners Immediately left the Waldorf
to meet their once bitter enemies In
friendliness.
This Is the first lime that the two
leagues ever took part In a meeting to
gether. This meeting was simply a
love feaat.
The routine business of the American
League was the re-election of Bummers.
of Cleveland, vice president of the
league and appointing Comlskey, Mack
and Noyes a committee on playing
rules.
The usual rumors of deals In which
almost every prominent player In the
game was mentioned, were very strong
at the hotel: but It was Impossible to
verify any of them. It was paid that
the New York club wanted to swap
Morlarlty for Mullln, of Detroit.
Hughey Jennings was asked about this
and he said that wlflie he would be
tickled to have Morlarlty on his team,
he could not part with Mullln.
Class Football Teams To
Play Games on Saturday
Altho the football season Is at an end
at, almost all of the Southern colleges,
at’ Tech the class football games still
occupy the attention of the students,
and on Saturday two games prm be
played
Every class In college haa Its team
out every day at noon and at S o'clock
practicing and getting In shape for the
games to come.
Up to dale the class teams have
S tayed but two games. The Juniors
ave met the seniors and the freshmen
have played the sophomores. The ap
prentice team will probably play one of
those four on Saturday afternoon.
Not until thla year have the class
games occupied such a part of Tech's
athletic life, but since the one-year
rule of the U. I. A. A. haa been In oper.
atlon these games have proved effective
In getting every student Interested In
football. In this wny goisl players are
discovered who would otherwise not
have been considered.
The captain of the seniors Is E. H.
Rogers, with Barnwell as manager,
while the freshmen have elected Cox
captain anil Meyer manager. The
other classes will elect officers In the
near future.
The standing of the class teams la as
follows:
Won. Lost. P.C.
Juniors .. 1 0 1.000
Sophs 1 0 1.000
Seniors -.0 1 .000
Freshmen 0 1 .000
Apprentice 0 0 .000
The games ore played every Satur
day afternoon, Coach llelsman acting
aa referee, with one of the 'varsity men
as umpire.
NEW RULES
ADOPTED
American League Moguls
Agree on Changes
In Code.
NEW YORK, Dao. 11.—Several new
rules were adopted at the American
League meeting In'the Wolcott Hotel
yesterday nfternoon that will tend to
put the game In that organisation on a
higher standard than that played In the
Nutlonal League.
The rules and amendments passed
upon will undoubtedly make the pome
more Interesting from the spectators'
viewpoint, and the championship games
hereafter should be won on their merit
solely. Wild throws from a fielder to
first base will hereafter entitle the base
runner to but ono extra base. Under
the old rules a runner could tnke ns
many bases as he wanted until the ball
wns retrieved, either from the grand
stand or from some other evasive cor
ner. This rule will be of great aid to
the outfielders, trho are Inclined to be
erratic when returning a ball to the
Infield. There was no opposition to this
amendment to the rule and It was
adopted unanimously by the owners In
attendance.
Another change In the rules that had
no opposition was the rule that keeps
the order on the field during practice
and during the game under the super
vision of the umpire. The arbitrator
In charge will bo held responsible for
the conduct of the players from the
time he takes the field before practice
and during the game. The umpire will
be empowered to Impose lines or to
order from the field any player whoee
conduct he deems not proper. In con
nection with this a new rule was passed
which provides forty minutes' prepara
tion befpre a game. Of this time the
visiting players should have allotted t
them the right to practice thirty min
utes. During the remaining ten tain-
tiles the home players should have tr
practice.
In addition, the American league or
dered a rule that will keep the clubs
In the circuit constantly on the lookout
for fear-of a fine every time a mistake
Is made. The rule Is that the home
club should, before each game, place a
targe bulletin board In a conspicuous
place and on that put the batting or
der and position of players of the two
teams playing. Also there must be
spare on the. board to make whatever
changes In the line-up after the game
Ir siarted. For failure to comply with
this rule a fine of tin will be Imposed
upon the home club for every error that
la not changed at once.

Eight Good Fist Performers Are Slated To Do
Stunts Tonight Before Jack
• ' Foy’s Club.
The first fight this month before Jack
Foy's Armory Hall dub. and perhaps
the last one which will be fought In
public In Atlanta for aome little while,
la slated for tonight at 8:30.
The four engagements announced for
decisions threaten to be among the very
best ever fought In Atlanta.
The card In: , **
Johnny Wood vs.. "Irish" Logan, six
rounds.
Vlttur vs. Fagan, for ten rounda.
Jonea vs. Willis, for six rounds.
The other fight Is not absolutely set*
tied upon, hut Manager Fny Is scur
rying about to find a man fl> meet
Wolfe, and expects to be successful In
this. This wily fight mogul has the
right Idea about scraps and ut every
stage has a half doken extra assorted
boxers on hand who can go on and fill
In any gaps that may occur.
John Willis, the battling barber. Is In
extra good condition for his fight with
Jones, and as the blucksmlth Is slightly
battered as a result of his recent hard
fight with Kid Burns, the match ought
to be'a very even one. In the remote
lioselblllt^- that Jones may not be In
trim to fight. Manager Foy will havo
Joe Trent on band to fill In provided
Jones can not go on.
The Vlttur-Fagan fight, originally
scheduled for six rounds, has been
shoved up to ten and will be the semi-
windup. These boys are as clever
scrappers as are made and wilt furnish
a good bunch of nmuseincnt.
Wood and Logan will do one of their
famous knockabout turns, which
ulways good for a lot of excitement.

the Merchants and Manufacturers Club
In the Candler building at t o'clock.
Speeches will be made by several of

Fifty Teams Tied in
Six-Year Bicycle
Race of 1937.
By WEX JONES.
NEW YORK, Dec. 11, 1937.—Scenes
of terrific enthusiasm In the Bronx
Garden last night marked the close of
the third year of the great Six-Year
Bicycle Race. All fifty teams are tied
with a score of 87,1)01 miles, 8 laps,
which Is 7,001 miles ahead of the pre
vious record, made at Harlem Garden
by Ah Goo and Zu Zu, the Chink-FIJI
team. In 1817. Noogoo, of the Ugandu-
Flatbush team, celebrated the occasion
by endeavoring to steal a lap, but he
was toiled by running Into the dense
cloud of smoke at the north end of the
track, where ten spectators have smoked
steadily since the race starter) three
years ago. The smoke was so thick
that Noogoo Injured his skull and had
to be carried off the track. This ren
ders It unlikely that any more sprints
will be started before Faster.
Among the spectators last night was
W. J. Bryan, who Is again a candidate
for the Democratic nomination, and Is
apparently certain of getting It, aa he
la the only one left In Ihe party. T.
Roosevelt, the famnua Smithsonian
scientist, was also present, and wrote
several letters to the riders, extolling
them as examples to the rest of the na
tion. The race also held the attention
of twenty Admiral-Bicyclists of the
navy's famoua Cycle Corps, which had
ao much to do with our recent victory
over the submarine fleet of Greenland.
As usual, the spectators were more
Interesting to watch than the racers.
Many of those present have been In
the Garden since the door* opened on
January 1,1837. One man, whose little
boy came into the arena to find hint,
could not recognise his son, the young
ster having grown ao much during the
race. In the arena and basement there
are many booths for the sale of life
Insurance, and sessions of night school
srs held during tha dull hours pf morn
ing racing.
The public evidently demands these
contests, and it la planned to make the
next race a ten-year affair. In which
case all riders must not be more than
20 yean of age at the beginning of the
Efforts are being made by the mem-
brrs of the Louisville (Ky.) Automo
bile Club toward the establishment of a
Country Club. It Is proposed to pur
chase a site In South Louisville, where
a suitable clu6 house could be erftted.
Three pieces of business are slated to
come up before the meeting of the
Southern League, which will be held
In Nashville this month, at a date soon
to be announced.
The Important actions on the sched
ule are:
First. To raise salary of president.
Second. To elect a successor on the
board of directors to W. R. Joyner, of
Atlanta.
Third. To reinstate Otis Stockdale.
President Kavanaugh Is rather likely
to "suffer" an Increase In salary. It
Is very fashionable these days to raise
the salaries of league presidents, and
the Southern League Is going to get In
line.
The need of a ndw director Is the re
sult of the resignation of Mayor W. R.
Joyner from the league directory, which
action followed his sale of all stock In
the tocal club. It Is hard to tell who
will be given Mayor Joyner's place.
All the other ofllcers of the league are
slated for re-election.
Otis Stockdale seems practically sure
of reinstatement, tho he will be put
back In good standing under an agree
ment that he shall never again play In
the Southern League.
It will be remembered that the "Gray
Fox" was put on the black list for an
Interview given out In Atlanta, In
which he charged, In , effect, that
Charles Babb, of the Memphis team,
had not tried to win the iiennant of the
preceding year, and that he had thrown
games of. at least allowed them to be
thrown. When Stockdale was called
on to prove these charges, he could not
do so, and he was therefore put on the
black list. Indications are that he will
be put back In good standing, tho no
body can toll what the league will do
when It gets In session. Billy Phyle.
disciplined for practically the same
thing, was years In getting back Into
good standing.
The number of automobiles sold to
Indianapolis people to November 16,
