ONE-YEAR RULE
BRINGING UP FATHER
By GEORGE M’MANUS
First-Year Men May Take Part in
Track, Basket Ball and
Baseball,
By Jack Nye.
ASHVILLK, TEXX., Dec. 26.—
That one-year residence rule,
as adopted at the recent meet
ing of the S. 1. A. A. at Jacksonville
ippiies only to football is a fact not
generally known by the public. It is
e gridiron game, however, that the
august body proposed to save from
he temptation of professionalism
and freshmen will in no way be hind
dered from taking part in other col-
cge sports, provided they can frame
ip for ihe necessary points with our
riend, Mr. Carnegie.
However, there can be no getting
around the fact that the rule will af
fect these other sports indirectly, for
n case of a good football man com-
ng to the university it is hardly •
-robable that he would be allowed to ‘
knock a year off his gridiron career
by taking part in track or baseball
during his first season at college.
Until the S. I. A. A. rules thta a play
er can have Ills four years of football,
:: addition to other sports, the one-
year rule is sure to keep some stars
*ff the baseball and track, teams dur-
ing their first year in school.
* * •
VOT at all pleased with the one-
A * year rule, the Vanderbilt alumni
mil others are now wondering who
viil be the representative.of the local
nstitution at the next annual meet-
p.g of the S. 1. A. A., io be held at
Lexington. K\., as Dr. Dudley will
•i all probability not attend another
•ii account of ill health.
Several men have been mentioned.
the general impression is that
Vanderbilt's affairs could not be
ida- ed in better hands than those of
arles O. Trabue, one of her most
• ai alumni and chairman of the
ernes committee. Mr. Trabue is the
!«»gica.l man for the position, being
veil acquainted with the rules of the
s j. A. A. and having always stood
r the highest and best in college
it hie tics. Tt is stated that there is a
strong probability that he will b«
hosen to attend the next meeting- and
«?uard the interests of Vanderbilt.
* * *
1 N view of the decided handicap
* placed on the Commodores by the
•ne-year residence rule in their games
vith Virginia, North Carolina and
V'. higan. there Is a nrobability that
the S. I. A. A. will exempt from the
rub* when playing teams outside of
ihe association. This favor was
granted to Texas A. & M. at the
Jacksonville meeting and it can not
be said that the rule injured that in
stitution as much as it did Vander
bilt. Of the three teams named above
Michigan is the only one to have a
one-year rule, but considering the
vastly greater number of students
'oaoh Yost has to choose from, Van
derbilt is in need of every opportun
ity for maintaining the team’s
strength in order to be able to meet
the Ann Arbor eleven on anywhere
near an equal footing.
Virginia has no one-year rule, nor
has Carolina, and this fact is sure to
nil them in the coming games with
Vanderbilt.
* * *
The 1914 football season will prob-
A ably determine Vanderbilt’s final
stan.i on the one-year rule, and If it
s found to be tpo big a handicap
here is a strong probability that
steps will be taken to withdraw from
its ranks. Vanderbilt has reached a
stage of development in football and
other sports where it is not depend-
^ on the S. T. A. A. and would have
L irtle trouble in fixing a strong sched
ule without it; in fact, the chief
drawback would be the annual meet
ing with Sewanee on Thanksgiving,
which has become a historic event in
die .South, but it is certain that the
'ootball public here would not be
wanting for just as good a game, if
not better, should the Commodores
decide to withdraw from the S. I.
A. A.

•1-i North Broad St.. Atlanta. Ga.
By O. B. Keeler.
^T~>HIS being the Morning After,
I and feeling that way about it,
we will now consider briefly
the case of Hirsig vs. Schwartz.
As we get this tumultuous disagree
ment, the present status is that four
of the six directors of the Nashville
ball club have met and in solemn
conclave assembled have fired tiy
Honorable Hirsig bodily, retaining
Mr. Manager Schwartz in his regular
position, and naming a new president
in the person of Clyde Shropshire, for
merly vice president.
Heigh-ho!
* * *
M R. HPRSIG counters with the as
sertion that he can't be fired in
any such way, which recalls the state
ment of the passenger who was
chucked off a passenger train after
an argument about his fare, and -
mained standing in the middle or' tHe
track as the train departed, insisting
that the conductor couldn't put him
off.
“He was the hardest man to con
vince 1 ever saw'," said the conductor.
Mr. Hirsig appears to be a pretty
fair running mate—what?
* *
A S we gel it. the directors cla .ii
that they constituted'a majority
of the directorate, and. as* such had
the power to direct the club.
Mr. Hirsig claims that the action
was illegal and will not stand in the
courts, as the bv 7 lav.s of the club
provide that any meeting of the Hi*
rectors must be called by the secre
tary one day prior to the‘meeting.
Inasmuch as the secretary was fa
vorable to Mr. H., and the rebellious
directors had to elect it new one m
the person of Chris Haury. it appears
that the secretary couldn’t very wel!
have called the meeting before he was
elected, and he couldn't have be ui
elected until the meeting was called.
Therefore Mr. Hirsig would appear
to have a rather better position than
the obstinate passenger aforemen
tioned.
* * *
AS to the real merits of the row,
^ and passing the technicalitiej.
most of the reports agree that Presi
dent Hirsig crossed Bill Schwartz at
least twice by swapping players with
out his knowledge, and against his
plans and wishes.
If that is true, we should say that
Mr. Hirsig has been behaving entire
ly too much like Garry Herrmann,
which, in our estimation, is a scath
ing rebuke, although it really is none
of our business, and, as we got Barrj
tVeichonce on some such kind of deal,
we mightn’t to say unkind words a.
M. Hirsig.
He may slip us'another ..‘’.40 wallop
er one of these days, when Bill
Schwartz isn’t looking.
* » *
B UT it would be an innovation for
the directors of a club to take
H> the side of a mere manager against
he president— *.nd it might not be a
Tad thing for the game, especially it
che manager had the merits of the ar
gument.
With no wish to kick into our good
friend- Nashville's little domestic dis
agreement, we will await the outcome
with interest.
And (as the True Sport says ) "may
the best man win."

McLean Refuses to
i
Compromise: Wants
Full $800 or Nothing
NEW YORK. Dec. 26. Larry McLean,
the Giants’ catcher, refused $500 yester
day without turning a hair, although he
admitted that* his purse was practically
empty. When McLean was sold to the
Giants by the Cardinals last summer, he
says that he had an agreement with
President Britton by which he was to
receive $800 for good behavior. McLean
slates that he lived up to this agree
ment and was refused. McLean ap
pealed u* the National Commission sev
eral weeks ago. and last Tuesday Hug
gins. the manager of the Cards, offered
to compromise for $200. McLean re-
j mused, and yesterday Huggins, he says,
offered $50<».
“I’m broke,” replied McLean to the
(’aids' mrnager, “but 1 won’t take It.
I Give me $?C0 or nothing
McLean is still waiting.

SPORTING COMMENT
By Ed \V. Smith.
E fficiency is the thing that
counts in these modern
days of figuring everything
on a percentage basis. And then
is no good reason why the tight
ens should not be classified in
.much the same way that an em
ployer of huge numbers of men
classifies them—on an efficiency
basis. Suppose, we say that a
man gets 100 per cent or the
limit of excellence, for the points
he shows in th-* ring. The trou
ble would be how to figure out
the points. Why not give him
33 1-3 per cent each for game
ness, aggressiveness and consis
tency? These are the things that
make champions and cause cham
pions to hold their j bs.
* * *
N OW, if you classified the men
of each division of the
weights according to tlik-, how
many fighters would one find that
could be said to be 100 per cent
efficient? Mighty few, on this ba
sis or any other, for the matter
of that. The chief thing that sticks
out when one attempts to get at
a list of efficient ringsters now
parading the rings of the country
is the surprisingly small size of
ii, no matter how you may plan
to let a lot of them in on it.
* • *
T HIS is a stiff test, this thing
of making a man «how that
he is game and aggressive and at
the same time consistent. It’s the
acid test. Let’s peer at the ban
tamweight class. There's a cham
pion there thtf4 can be said to
have everything, for Johnny < 'on
ion is the ideal fighter when he
is right and well. So is his chief
rival in the division, Kid Wil
liams. of Baltimore. Th« pair il-
lustr&te well on both sides t:;e
capable ring man.
* * *
O THERWISE there are but few
bantams who shape m* us
they should. The beat man in the
East appears to be Johnny Sid/.-
bere and of the rising young
customers for the top rung of the
ladder in the Wert we find
Frankie Sinnet. of Rock Island,
and Herman, the Peoria battler.
All three of them are-^ood boys
and certain to be heard of near
the top within the next year.
* * *
ETTING up among the feath-
ers one can not overlook th.
champion of them all, Johnny K1I-
bane. Lately he has developed
the K. O, punch, and this, with
his other qualifications, makes
him almost an ideal leader of th**
division. There are few others.
We might include “Peanuts”
Sohierberl. of Illinois Knrc-kou;
Mars, of Cincinnati. an<l Harrv
Tracey, the voting New Yorker,
who recently ga.jye (.’barley White
the toughest kind of a battle.
Then we are almost done among
the 122-pounders.
* * •
IT’S hard to get many light-
1 v. eights that com*, up to the
100 per cent efficiency test. 1
would even classify Ad Wolgast,
an ex-chamnion, higher than
either Willie Ritchie or Tommy
Murphy. Right and good Wol
gast comes nearer being tin ideal
leader of a class than either of
them. We’d have to lake in Wil
lie Beecher, of the East, as well
as such men as Pal Brown, of
Minnesota, who is now In Aus
tralia and fighting well, and Steve
Ketchel, of Chicago, one of the
great-st little men in the busi
ness. Naturally we would like-
wist- h%*.vt- to give Jack Britton,
of Chicago, and Eddie Murphy, of
Boston, a high rating as well.
T HE welters don’t call for much.
If Mike Gibbons is one, then
we would put him at the top
without mentioning the misfit
McFarland, who will not confess
that he is one thing or another.
He isn’t consistent, at any rate;
neither has he shown any great
degre eof agr o-ssiveness of late.
Ray Bronson, now In Australia,
certainly is game and consistent,
and Mike Glover, the Eastern boy,
Is the best of them in ila.t sec
tion of the country. Eddie Han
lon, of this city, appeals to have
the makings. Eddie meets Jack
Robinson, a veteran at the game,
to-morrow night. . nd after this
bout we will know more about
him.

are a streaky, unreliable lot.
We i-an't figure out Eddie Mc-
Goorty, another Australian tour
