Success Seldom Conies to a Man Who Is Too Lazy to Go After It SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT Just a Little Surprise for the Judge Hank O'Oay Comes to the Bat With a New Plan, Hard to I Understand By 0. B. Keeler. H ERE com*** Hank O'Day, som« umpire, who once managed ‘he Cincinnati Reds, with brand- new idea for a rule to prevent th° Intentional passing of a heavy bat ter at a critical Juncture Candidly, we don’t get Hank. Take a slant at the report, exactly as published In the daily prints, and see what you think about it. • • • t * M A KING the pitching box narrow- eT would accomplish the de sired object," Is Mr. O’Day’s reported opinion. As previously stated, we don't get him. In the first place, there hasn’t been any “pitcher's box" for quite a while. There used to be. and a guy could wander around as far as its limits would let him. But these days it's a slab, and all the slabman has to do in pitching is to start with his hind foot in contact with said slab and not take more than one step from It In the process of delivery. If Mr. O’Day meant "make |he slab narrower,” we still would fail to *€“i what effect that would be toward re straining a pitcher from lobbing over four wide ones • • * TVfR. O'DAY isn't the first one to * tackle the problem «»f making a pitcher put it over and it seems to us that nobody will succeed In that undertaking without the aid of hyp notism. Certalnl> some managers owning wild hurlers with lots of stuff would be very grateful to Mr. O'Day if lie would devise a plan to keep the hall over the plate. Also, if Mr. O’Day, by a juggling pf the slag measurements, can compel a pitcher to keep his product just over the cor ners of the pan. Mr. O’Day would bet ter give up umpiring and working in the rules committee, and siart man aging another ball club. He would have some valuable pitching service what? • # • S O far hr our research extends, only one rule ever has been proposed that seemed at all likely to prevent the intentional passing of a heavy hitter In a pinch We forget who suggested it. but it had an air of plausibility entirely lacking from Mr. O'Day » hunch, so far as understood. The idea was that the hatter re ceiving four wide pitches had the op tion either of taking his base or of remaining at bat and allowing the next batsrtian in order to take the bAse for him, * * • S UPPOSE, for example, that Har ry Welchonce was up. with Tommy I.ong on second or third and a right-hand pitcher on the slab. Sup pose the r h. pitcher had been pun ished severely by Harry, but had been “getting' Wally Smith and Bisland without difficulty. Then it might not he out of order to suppose that, with two out. the pitcher would rather see Harry on first than waving his big stick «t the plate. All right. Four balls. But Harry declines the offer at a signal from his boss Wally Smith trotk on down to first. Harry nmains at bat Four more balls 0 Maybe. Then Bislant walks and the luces are full—and Welchonce still at hat. • # • V01’ see the idea * But even that wouldn’t be alto gether a fair rule Becoming candid again, we don’t see how any rule is to be made th.it will do justice between pitcher and hatter in this respect In our opinion, the strategic move of passing a heavy hitter is sufficiently penalised by the additional rumior on the bases and you may easily recall Instance after instance when the supposed “weak sister" has come along a d cleaned up. Any way, when it comes right down to the point, how is any umpire going to know for sure (if the pit'-her ap parently tries to get the b«*ll overl whether the base on halls s lnten tional ° We await r.

M,v games of golf over the Atlanta courses will mark a most enjoyable occasion, and big. dirty, noisy Chicago will aeein utmost unbearable la-cause my mind will la- full of the happy events in your clean, delightful little city. I can not ever adequately express how much I owe lo the generous hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Ceorge Adair. Interest In golf has grown very rapidly in the last few years in the Southern States, and nowhere In the South do I think that golf enthusiasm Is greater than In Atlanta. The uaturul result of so much enthusiasm Ims been the divvelopment of some ,very good Southern players, yet it is always a matter of surprise that these players do not go farther in the National Amateur, whose very etttetent vice president, Mr. Milton Itargan. lives here, or In the Western, which has a deep interest In Southern players. One would think that the Southern player had certain natural advantages in the opportunity to play the year around, of Aurso the game is young in the South, hut the time is rapidly approaching when Southern golfers should reach a higher championship standard. At the present moment the very Is-sl Southern players are many shots behind tiie heat players of the West and North, of course the Southern player must travel far lo the big tourneys, and consequently comparatively few go. The Southern showing in the 1013 National was Itetter than usual, ami Nelson Whitney, your champion, qualified well up. hut no Southern player yet lias gone far in either Western or National. Many times I have heard the reason asked. In the upbuilding of champions, there are. I think, the following essen tials: First, enthusiasm ami the lyt«“ of enthusiasm that Is the essence of patience. Coif looks so easy, and is In reality so hard, that it is the most discouraging game at times In the world for the player. Then comes exam pie and Instruction, and Instruction should he either verbal or by example, for young players Imitate readily. I think the hesl sort of instruction Is playing with a better player. The next essential is a good golf course re quiring championship play. You can learn the shots on any course, provided its condition allows the ball lo fall and run the same every time. One must be able to judge the roll of a ball, and know just what ground behavior can lie expected of it. One can learn to hit the hall in the air. but unless the ground is right, he loses power lo judge results. A good course aids good play and penalizes bad. I learned my golf on a flat 9-hole stretch of ground, and then I Improved It by playing a great deal at Chicago golf a championship course. • * * A T Till') present moment Atlanta has good Instructors, among whom is Stewart Maiden, one of the best in the country—oceans of enthusiasm and a course to-be al Hast Luke that will doubly merit tile title of the champion course of the South; indeed, it would is* called a good link in any part of America. And there are already some very good players here. Some of you play very good wooden shots, some very good irons, and some putt extremely well; ip fact, the more successful Atlanta golfer plays gen erally well, 1ml I would suggest more practice of Individual shots, a steady methodical attempt to round out one’s game. . ... A MONG the best players at Fast Lake is the champion of the club. Mr. George W. Adair. He is truly a good, accurate, thoughtful player. Ills chief trouble is with his wooden clubs, and Is I teen use the ascent and descent of his club describe two different lines, and lie does not throw the club head through the hall crisply enough. Mr. Tlehenor plays well, and Ills shots all have a suggestion of a hook. Terry Adair shows much promise, and Mr. W. H. Rowan Is another good player with a future. I noticed several younger men who lake a deep interest In Hie game, and It Is very important tlrnt they bo encouraged to play. It is good for them physically and morally, and it Insures future champions. Wouldnt’ it tie fine to have the big National or Western cups in Atlanta? Good luck !

Willard Stops Rodel In Nine Rounds NEW HAVEN, C'ONN.. Deo. 30 — Jess Willard, the Kansas City heavyweight, who knocked out George Rodel, a fellow “hope, ’ in the ninth round last night, turned two longin, anxious, hopeful eyes to-da> toward the Gunboat mtth-Arthur Pel- ky row In California on New Year's Day. Willard said he would try to get a match with the winner of the Smith- Pelkv affair, and there is no doubt that a victory over the winner of the Weetern fight would put Jess in the very forefront of the "white hopes.” and would earn for him the title of white heavyweight champion. It was considerable of a task for Mr. Rodel to eat anything to-day ex- i spt spoon victuals as a result of the right-hand uppercuts which spoiled his evening last night. This was the first twenty-round fight held in the Nutmeg State since Young Corbett knocked out Terry McGovern more than a decade ago. rnd has aroused the hope that at last a permanent home has been found for long distance fights in the East. There was no Interference of any kind from the officials. BOXING Famous Plays—By Heisman News of the Ring Game V* V* v«v +•+ Hersig Insists He Is Still Presi dent, While Schwartz Re fuses To Be “Fired." N ashville, tenn., Dec. 30.— The bitter factional feeling which has existed in the Nash ville baseball war for the past two weeks reached a climax yesterday in an exchange of torrid statements be tween William Hirsig. majority stockholder in the Nashville club, and William C. Schwartz, last season's manager of the local team. Hirsig emphatically declares in his state ment that under no circumstances will Schwartz manage the Nashville club next season since "he has been convinced that the boy manager’ was not the best leader the Vais could get for 1914.” Schwartz is charged by Hirsig of having approved, of the Welchonce-!'allahan deal, repeatedly denied by Schwartz previously, and published a letter from Shwartz in support of that contention. Hirsig also attempts to saddle the responsibility for the Perry-Berger deal on Schwartz, offering to produce numerous witnesses in order to sub stantiate his accusations. * * * LJIRSIG Insists t hat he is still presi- * uent of the Nashville club, char acterizing the midnight meeting of a majority of the Nashville club’s stockholders, at which he was de posed and Vice President Clyde Shropshire elected to succeed him, as a ‘Tump” gathering, illegal and con trary to the by-laws of the Nashville club. Numerous legal decisions are offered to support the assertion that this meeting was illegal. Schwartz in his answer to Hirsig explains the Callahan-Welchonce rieai by stating that the failure of the Nashville club to have him returned, after being drafted in 1912 by Wash ington, was due to the inability of the Nashville club to raise the nec essarv $1,500 draft price to secure his return to the club from which he was drafted and to no lack of effort on his own part to have Welchonce re turned. Schwartz published a tele gram dated two days before Nashville released its claim to Atlanta, in which he asks Hirsig to meet him in Cin cinnati. in order that they might con fer with Garry’ Herrmann, of the Na tional Commission, relative to pre venting Washington turning the player over to Atlanta. Schwartz was in Cleveland, Ohio, at this time, and offers this message as proof that the deal was made without his knowl edge. * * • S CHWARTZ also denies responsi bility for the Periw-Berger trade claiming that he had requested Hir sig not to make any deals while in Atlanta. Schwartz charges Hirsig with being niggardly in supplying him with players of ability around which to build up a winning club, and charges that when he approached Hirsig last season he begged for new material to bolster up his faltering machine, he was denied any assistance by Hir sig. who refused to heed Schwartz’s warning that the club was “skating on thin ice,” although later the Vols took a slump from which they were never able to recover.

Dec. 30 — I*each Cross, the New York fighter who is scheduled to box Bud Anderson At Vernon on New Year's Day. Is doing so nicel> in his training that to-day Mana ger Sam Wallach advised a let-up. Cross s looking good, and his claim that he ’s in the best condition he ever attained for a Los Angeles fight is borne out by his general appearance And work in training bouts. “I am working out every day with Kid Dalton and Babe Piccato, the best train ers 1 have had on the coast." said Cross to-day. “Roth are fast and swap punches with me. I have not the least doubt that 1 will best Anderson in our second meeting Then I am going after Joe Rivers again." Bud Anderson is plugging away on the same old strenuous schedule at his training quarters. Bob Fitzsimmons' ambition to shine again in the pugilistic limelight has re ceived a decided setback at the hands of the New York State Boxing Commis sion.

Heisman. I N THE fall of 18R2, after the “V” from a standing start had been in use for over half a dozen years Harvard came forward with something distinctly new—the “Flying Wedge.” This play was invented by a Cambridge man by name of Deland, and was copied far and wide until legislated out of existence by the rule re quiring that on the kick off the ball would have to be kicked an actual dis tance of at least ten yards. Deland had never played football himself, but had been watching it for years on Soliders’ Field, and had often wondered why teams did not get more variety into their attack. The first time it was ever exhibited “on any stage” was in the game between Harvard and Yale that year at Springfield. It fell to the lot of the Crimson to kick off, and the Blue lined up ten yards away from the ball, and prepared to attack the expected “V” in the usual way. What was their amazement to see the Harvard team line up in a crazy, new-fangled way to which there seemed to be no sense whatever. Instead of the center getting over the ball the Crimson quarterback was guarding it. About 20 feet to his left and somewhat back of him was stationed the right half, and to the real" of this latter and also back further was stationed the other half. And then there was an Indian file of five, and another of three, widely separated from each other. But the queerest thing about it all was the fact that the eight men in these two files did not come up to the middle of the field and toe the scratch there, but seemed content to take station some 20 yards back of midfield, as though they intended to have nothing whatever to do with the ceremonies incident to the opening of hostilities. Auburn has accepted the offer to meet Carlisle on an Atlanta gridiron next fall, asking that the game be staged two weeks after Thanksgiving Da>. It is probable that the contest will be hew at either Grand Field or Poncy Park. GOLF PLAY POSTPONED. PINKHDRST. N. C., Dec 30 -Platr in the holida> g.'lf tournament was post poned yesterday on account of rain Cicotte Returns His Contract Unsigned CHICAGO. Dec 30 -Eddie Cicotte. who ranked next to Walter Johnson as a pitcher in the American League last season, is said to be the first hold out of the 1914 crop Cicotte is re ported from his Detroit home to have said that although the figure named in the contract was not satlsfactorv he would have refused to sign at present under any circumstances because he had not been given permission by the plajers' fraternity. The \ale players stared blankly, and the Yale coaches looked their college color: no one of them could form a jruess as to what might be coming off or what should lie done: the stands were awed with dumb, suppressed excitement. The officials themselves stared and procrastinated, and asked the Harvard and Yale captains twice each if they were ready. It appeared impossible that the Harvard team could be ready, but each time Captain Dudley Dean, of Harvard, calmly insisted that he was quite ready for the dogs of war to be unleashed, and so at length the whistle sounded its shrill blast. * * * A T ONCE the two lines of Harvard men started forward, seemingly aim- ing to come together at the point M. On they Came, faster and faster, gathering momentum with each stride, but the quarter and the halves stood stock still, while the ball had not yet moved a hair’s breadth. And until it did move the Yale players could not charge forward; they could do nothing blit wait in anxious doubt and indecision. But just before the right-hand column reached tlie point "P,” Dean, at quarter, picked up the ball and passed it rapidly to the right half. The I bitter at once shied it over to the left half, then turned ^nd also made for the point M. Meanwhile Dean, after passing the ball to the right half, sprang forward and tumbled under Yale’s right guard. After the ball had been scraped over Dean’s toe. in fake conformity to the kick-off requirement, it took but nil instant for the two defiles of Harvard players to effect a junction with the right half back at their apex, and with all steam up the way they hit the Yale right tackle was something to remind everybody of what a playful thunderbolt is like. With all that aroused momentum it was out of the question for the defensive team to stop things in their track, and a good 1T> yards gain had been chalked off in favor of the Crimson* cohorts before Halfback Lake was finally brought to the sod. * * * j N 1 HIS particular instance the play owed some of its effectiveness to the fact that to Yule it was a new stunt, and they could form no guess as to what was coming. But the next year everybody was playing it, and jail teams knew what to expect. Nevertheless, when well performed the thing had such a terrific momentum whooped up by the time it came into collision with the defensive players that there was no stopping it short of a substantial gain. ^tit if you think it must have taken nerve to fire into one of the old ”\ s’ that operated from,a standing start what would you say to the nerve it took to wade into the flying wedge? The fact is it was a very dangerous play for everybody concerned, and that was the reason why the rule makers decided to eliminate it by insisting on an actual kick for the opening of a game. Much was expected of Deland in the way of new plays after this initial | success, but. so far as I have ever heard, he never invented anything of great Importance in the game after that. -m victor DR.
