Success Seldom Comes 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’Day Comes to the Bat With a New Plan, Hard to Understand By 0. B. Keeler. H ERE rr>mM Hank O’Day, some umpire, who once managed ‘he Cincinnati Reds, with a 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 a* published in the daily prints, ani see what you think about it. • * • “IV/TAKINO the pitching box narrow- er would accomplish the de sired object," la 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 he, and a guy could wander around as far as its limits would let him. Rut 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 the slab narrower." we still would fail to se* what effect that would be toward re straining a pitcher from lobbing over four w ide ones. • • • M R. O'DAY isn’t the first one to tackle the problem of making a pitcher put it over—and it seems to us that nobody will succeed in that undertaking without the aid of hyp notism Certainly some managers owning wild hurlers with lots of stuff would be ver> r grateful to Mr. O’Day if he would devise a plan to keep the ball over the plate. Also, If Mr. O’Day, by a juggling of the slag measurements, can compel a pitcher to keep his product Just over the cor ners of the pan. Mr. O'Dj^ would bet ter give up umpiring ai^working on the rules committee, ann start man aging another hall club. , He would have some valuable pitching service what? • * * S O far as 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 sir of plausibility entirely lacking from Mr. O’Day'a 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 batsman in order to take the base for him. • • • S UPPOSE, foe example, that Har ry Welchonc® was up, with Tommy Long 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 at t’le plate. All right. Four balls But Harry declines the offer, at a signal from his boss Wally Smith trots on down to first. Harry remains at bat. Four more halls" Maybe. Then Billet!4 walks and the bases are full—and Welchonc© still at bat. • • • VTOC 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 that I will do justice between pitcher and hatter in this respect In our opinion. j the strategic move of passing a heavy hitter is sufficiently penalized by the additional runner on the bases—anij you may easily recall Instance after j instance when the supposed "weak j sister" has come along a d cleaned ! up. / Anyway, when it comes right down ! to the point, how is any umpire going to know for sure (if the pitcher ap parent!' tries to get the ball over) ; whether the base on balli » inten tional? We await r. O’Day’s further elu cidation of this "problem vexed." WILL MEET IN LONG WALK. STROt’OHTON. WI8..

I T WILL Ik* hard for me to not buck to Chicago for work after living in tlie warm hearted hospitality of Atlanta. My games of golf over the Atlanta courses will mark a most enjoyable occasion, and big, dirty, noisy Chicago will seem almost unbearable because my mind will be full of the happy events In your clean, delightful little city. I can not ever adequately express how much I owe to the generous hearts of Mr. and Mrs. George Adair. Interest In golf lias grown very rapidly in the last few years in the Southern States, and nowhere In the Soutli do I think that golf enthusiasm is greater than in Atlanta. The natural result of so much enthusiasm has been the development 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 efficient vice president, Mr. Milton Ilargan, 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 tlie opportunity to play the year around. Of course 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 best Southern players are many shots behind the liest players of tlie West and North. Of course the Southern player must travel far to the big tourneys, and consequently comparatively few go. The Southern showing in the litl.’t National was better than usual, and Nelson Whitney, your champion, qualified well up. but no Southern player yet lias gone far in either Western or Nutioual. Many times I have heard the reason asked. In tlie upbuilding of champions, there are. I think, the following essen tials: First, enthusiasm aud the type -of enthusiasm that is the essence of patience. Oolf 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 ple and Instruction, and instruction should be cither verbal or by example, for young players imitate readily. I think the best sort of instruction is playing with it better player. The next essential is a good golf course re quiring championship play. You can learn tlie shots on any course, provided its condition allows the ball to 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 he expected of it. One ran learn to hit the hall in the air, hut unless the ground Is rigid, he loses power to judge results. A good course aids good play and penalizes had. I learned my golf on a flat h-liolc stretch of ground, and then 1 Improved It by pluying a great deal at Chicago golf—a championship course.

A MONO the best players at East Take Is the champion of the club, Mr. Oeorgc W. Adair, lie is truly a good, accurate, thoughtful player. His | chief trouble is with his wooden dubs, and Is because the ascent and descent of his club describe two different lines, and he does not throw the club head through the hall crisply enough. Mr. Tlrhenor plays well, and his shots all have a suggestion of a hook. lVrry Adair shows much promise, and Mr. W. li. Rowan is another good player with a future. I noticed several younger men who take a deep interest in the game, and tt is very Important that they lx- encouraged to play. It Is good for them physically and morally, and it Insures future champions. Wouldnt’ it lie flue to have the big National or Western cups in Atlanta? Good luck!

Willard Stops Rodel In Nine Rounds NEW HAVEN, CONN., Dec. 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-day toward the Gunboat mith-Arthur Fel- ky row in California on New Year's Day. Willard said he would try to get a match with the winner of the Smlth- Felky affair, and there Is no doubt that a victory over the winner of the Western fight would put Jess in the very forefront of the "white hopes." end 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 cept spoon victuals as a result of the right-hand uppercuts which spoiled his evening last night. This was the first twenty-round tight held in the Nutmeg State since Young Corbett knocked out Terry McGovern more than a decade ago. and has aroused the hope that at last a permanent home has been found for long distance tlght3 in the East There was no interference of any kind from the officials. Welsh and Dundee On Edge for Battle NEW ORLEANS. LA., Dec. 30 —Fred die Welsh, the English lightweight champion, and Johnny Dundee, the Goth am star, are hustling to get into shape for their coming encounter on New- Year’s Day. Welsh has a big advan tage over his rival in that he has been here for nearly two weeks and is already on edge Dundee has been here for five days, but claims he is ready for the fray. Welsh will enter the ring a pronounced favorite. He will have a few pounds advantage in weight and his long ex perience is expected to offset the speed of his young rital. The battle is ex pected to bring out a monster crowd, as the two rivals are well known. Hersig Insists He Is Still Presi dent, While Schwartz Re fuses To Be “Fired.” N ashvili.e, tenn., Dec. 30.— Tho bitter factional feeling which has existed in the Nash ville baseball w'ar 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 Vols could get for 1914." Schwartz Is charged by Hirsig of having approved of the Welchonce-Oallahan deal, repeatedly denied by Schwartz previously, and published a letter from Schwartz 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. * * • I_JTRSIG insists that he is still presl- “ 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 "rump" 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-Welehonce deai 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 essary $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 Welehonce re turned. Schwartz published a tele gram dated two days before Nashville released its claim to Atlanta, in w hich 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 Perry-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. Wallach Calls Halt In Cross Training LOS ANGELES. CAL.. Dec. 30 — Leach Cross, the New York tighter who is scheduled to box Bud Anderson at Vernon on New Year's Day. is doing so nicely in his training that to day Mana ger Sam Wallach advised a let-up. Cross is looking good, and his claim that lie is 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 w orking out every day with Kid Dalton and Babe Piccato. the best train ers 1 have had on the coast," said Cross to-day "Both are fast and swap punches with me. 1 have not the least doubt that I will best Anderson in our second meeting Then l am going after Joe Rivers again " Bud Anderson is plugging away on the same old strenuous schedule at his training quarters. BOXING News of the Ring Game 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.

I N THE fall of LS92, 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 w T ay. 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 hack of him was stationed the right half, and to the rear of this latter and also hack further was stationed the other half. And then there w T as 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 tlie ceremonies incident to the opening of hostilities. The Yale players stared blankly, and the Yale coaches looked their college color; no one of them could form a guess as to what might be coming off or what should be 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 l>e toady, but each time Captain Dudley Dean, of Harvard, calmly insisted that lie was quite ready for the dogs of war to Ik* unleashed, and so at length the whistle sounded its shrill blast. » * * AT ONCE the two lines of Harvard men started forward, seemingly aim- n ing to come together at the point M. On they came, faster and faster, gathering momentum with each stride, hut the quarter and the banes srooil 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 but wait in anxious doubt and indecision. But just before the right-hand column reached the point “P,” Dean, at quarter, picked up the ball and passed it rapidly to the right half. The latter at once shied it over to the left half, then turned and also made for the point M. Meanwhile Dean, after passing the bail to the right half, sprang forward anil 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 an iifstant 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 25 yards gain had been chalked off In favor of the Crimson cohorts before Halfback Lake was finally brought to the soil. * » • • iX l HIS particular instance the play owed some of its effectiveness to the fact that to Yale 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 aH teams knew what to expect. Nevertheless, when well performed the thing had such a terrific momentum whooped up by the time it came hit" collision with the defensive players that there was no stopping it short of a substantial gain. But if you think it must have taken nerve to fire into one of the old ’s” that operated from a standing start what would vou sa v to the nerve it took to wade into the flying wedge? The fact is it was a very dangerous play for evervbodv concerned, and that was tlie 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 w*ay 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.
