. Long for
8.8. Call
By GUY BUTLER,
This weather certainly is the goods,
and it has the knack og making all
men basecballically ineclined long for
the first practise day, which is now
thundering down the stretch and will
arrive within a week or two; that is,
for the pros. The collegians will get
into harness even sooner.
While Charley Frank is spending
& pleasant time down in Bay St |
Louis, Miss, his winter habitat
where the fish are plentiful, the fana!
here are marking time, awaiting the |
arrival of the old chieftain, who, it|
is expected, will make some impur-X
tant announcements, when he lands |
upon the shores of our city,
LIKES TO GO FISHING.
Mr. Frank is one bird who loves
to spend his winters quietly, away
from the humdrum of bgseball, and
out in the sticke, where he can’t be
reached with any b. b, information.
When the proper time arives, Char
ley is never backward in telling the
scribes what he has or hayn’'t ac
complished,
When Charley does come to town,
he won't stay here for any great
lenfth of time. He's coming merely
to look over the Ponee de Leon dia
mond, und talk matters over with
Frank Reynolds, and view the
Weather here, and possibly get in
touch with a few of his hired help,
‘Who might be hanging around await
ing the arrival of reporting day. It's.
A darned fine idea of Charley's to
train his clib in Bay Bt. Louls. No
better place could be found for the
tonditioning process, as Bay St. Louis
has splendid weather about this time
of the year, and the sun beams down |
80 warmly upon the athletes their
l!ahry wings can get into working or
der much more quickly than if they
were training here, where the weath
er In March and April is a bit un
wertain. Another bright feature of
the training-away-from-home idea is
4hat the fans, when they cast thelr
#yes over the Cracker array at the
slart of the season, will be viewing
their athletes for the first time this
Year. And the faces will be new to
them, and they'll want to go out to
soe 3ust who i playing on their
team and why. Oh my, yes, it's a
great scheme,
Doesn't seem to be very much do
ing here, except in college circles.
Frank Reynolds has done all that he
can, and is now leaving the base
bu‘)l work to the Cracker president.
SEVEN CHAMPIONS BACK.
As far as the Cracker persannel
at the present time is concerned, you
know as much as we do about it.
Frank has one catcher, Bob Higgins;
one infielder, Harry Damrau; two
,oymeld«ms. Sammy Mayer and Har
din Herndon, and three pitchers, Tom
.Sheehan, Joe Thorburn and Lefty
Suggs, back from the 1919 cham
“plonship crew. He has Joe Guyon,
thz Indian, for an outfield tryout,
And Harry Manush and probably an
other voungster or two farmed out
Ia&l season to the Sally League,
obert Higgins will do the manag
ing this yegr, with Frank occupy
ing t)&t‘? bench merely as spectator
and fef adviger to the véteran
catcher., Robert did a ‘good job of
‘handling the team last season, and
Charley thinks his long experience
and natural ability as a leader will
enable Bobh to keep the Crackers in
the fight this year. When Bob was
down ‘n New Orleans as captain of
the Pelicans, it was very seldom that
the Dobbers weren't in the thick of
the pennant scramble, '

Session To
CHICAGO, Feb. 10.—The fight
within the ranks of the American
League {8 more bittéer than ever, The
insurgents, consisting of Colonels
Ruppert and Huston of New York:
Harry Frazee of . oston, and Charles
A. Comiskey of Chi:cago, met at the
offices of the Whize Hox at Comiskey
Park, and preparad the plan of bat
tle t}‘ey intéend (o launch at the
American League meeting today.
| QVhile they were in session, Ban
'.lnhnunn and ths “leyal five” con
i;em-d at the pr~icent's office,
It was reportet that the “loyal
five” oiled their steam roller and
intend to use it as foreefully as they
lid at the meeting in New York last
m/ith, It was declared that Ball,
Dunn, Griffith, Mack and Navin will
vete against any proposition offered
by the insurgents, ;
The insurgents announced Monday
night that they will ask for an open
meeting so that newspapermen may
Ilw admitted to the confab and
threugh the seribes the fans may
know the truth.
They are sick and tired, they as
gserted, of the “back stairs” policies
«? the American League and want
to lay their cards on the table, They
expect the “loyal sive” to vote down
the open door res olution, however,
declaring that all the “loyal five"
care about the fans is the amount
of money fans pass in through the
ticket windows.
The board of directors of the
‘Amorica.n League has voted to abol
fsh all freak deliveries, such as the
spitter, shine ball, paraffine ball and
licorice ball. Barring the spitter,
these deliveries will he officially
buried with the opening of the sea
son in April.
Each club will be allowed thig year
to carry two spit ball hurlers.’ Ten
days Dbefore the first game, man
agers of the'eight clubs must sub
mit th¢ names to President .[lnlnson.
If any other pitehers but the two
Jesignated are caught throwing this
damp ‘“ellet, they will be suspenied,
NATIONAL RULES SAME. ~
These changes are almost identical
with the ruling of the National
League, adopted at its last meeting
in New York. The only difference is
that National lL.eague pitehers, who
now fling the spitter, will be allowed
to use it as long as they remain in
the organization, No new pitcher
will be allowed to employ this freak
delivery,
A number of drastic changes in
the playing and scoring ruies were
made by the joint committee = of the
American and National Leagues to
day. The most important of these
is that hereafter when a batter hits
a ball out of the park in the deciding
inning it will count as a homer, re
gardléss of how many men are on
bases, and all the men on the paths
will be officially credited with scor
ing runs. For instance, if the bases
were full and such a ball were bat
ted in the last inning of a tied game,
four runs would result.
Hereafter no runner will be cred
'ited with a stolen base unless it is
a legitimate steal, In the past, with

NEW YORK, Teb. 10.—Benny
lLeonard and Johnny Dundee wml
never s¢eftle their feud to the satis
faction of the boxing public in a
short, no-decision beut
This is the consensus of opinion
among boxing fans in this section
today, following the eighth meeting
between the lightweight champion
and his foremost challenger in Jer
sey City. P
As a spectacle, the Leonard-Dundee
scrap could scarcely have been im
“Aruwd. It was a whurlwind. Dundee
fought with the apparent ferocious
ness of a demon. He made the
champion extend himself, but he took
an artistic beating.
A master in the art of blocking,
Leonard warded off two-thirds of the
Italian’'s sturdy biows, all the while
shooting stinging lefts and choppy
rights to various parts of Dundee’s
anatomy. The champion handed
Dundee a lacing, but he contented
himself with that. He did not foliow
up every advantage,
’ To Dundee’s credit it must be.said
}that he is the most rugged light
' weight since the palmy days of Bat
| Nelson. He is closer knit and strong
er than leonard. Many an old-time
boxing fan who saw Dundee at his
best last night is of the opinion to
| day that if he only had science ne
' would be a world's champion.
Leonard entered the ring with the
'ltalmn with the avowed intention of
trying to knock him out. He failed.
| And boxing fans who witnessed the
Loyt are convinced the only way the
fmx%i between the champion and his
rival can be settled is over the cham
plonsghip route,

of victims here Monday night, giving
one of the best exhibitions of boxing
ever witnessed in a local ring.
Artie Simons, making his first local
appearance in two years, was a win
ner over Battling Barerre on the same
card.
George Chip and Harry Littleton
meet here February 20.
one team far out in front, a runner
was usually allowed to steal in the
fipal inning, the éatoher making no
play for him. That farcical steel
“re‘_ns for Sweeney” from now on.
Vhen a catcher drons a third strike
and the runner reaches first base,
it no fonger will be charged as a
passed ball to the catoher, but will
be charged as an error aguainst him.
Work of ball players in protested
games hereafter will count in the
averages, The winning hit of a game
will be eredited to the batter lgr as
many extra bases as the runner on
the paths may be from the plate at
the time of the wallop.
Another good change is one where,
when the batter t(ries to duck or
sidq step the ball, whether it lands on
fair or foul ground, will be declared
dead.

John W. Heisman, head coach of the University of Pennsylvania |
football team, who for the past sixteen years has tutored the Georgia

My Dear Friends of Dixieland: |
It is so hard to leave you; it has been such a struggle for me. Do not
think me ungrateful, unmindful, unappreciative. | remember all of
your courtesies, your kindnesses, your>endless acts of friendship—l

ONTHE LEVEL
- By HENRY VANCE
~ Bear gently with them, for they
know not what they do.
‘ At present, I'm speaking os the
American League directors. And, the
same goes for the National lLeague
directors, and all other league direc
tors where the spit ball has been
‘barred with a quafificltion.
\ Up in the American circuit where
Ban Johnson rules with an iron hand
and an iron head, the edict has gone
forth that tre spitter is to be taboo
eventually. \But the meguls, very
much like the confirmed booze head,
desire to taper off. And, to do this
the coming season they will allow
but two pitchers on each club to use
the spitter. All other hurlers except
the favored duo must confine their
pitchin? to h{oku and fast ones.
That's a hot one for you. Why al
‘low two men to get by with the stunt
and then hang np the “Thy-shalt
not” sign on the remainder of the
crew. If Johnny Hinkensmitz and
Cleophus Clodwhopper can use the
suitted it looks like Moses Marble
head and Ignatz Ivorydome and
Johnny Glassfinn could do the same
thing. Its showing favoritism to the
first two and working a hardship on
the three other.fel‘lov:s.
BLUFF CAN BE WORKED.
Besides, brothers, they are going to
have a merry time convicting pitchers
on these charges of using the spit
ter. Suppose big George Whipple
doffer expectorates on the agate. The
catcher receives the ball and rubs it
on his sleeve. The umps then calls
for an inspection. He finds nothing
on the ball that will warrant a fine
or expulsion from the league. The
pitcher's defensa is that he was bluoff
ing the spitter. There is no law
against bluffinp. it‘ so there you are
.
ANOTHER FARCICAL RULE.
Over in the National they have
varied the rule. Those pitchers who
are already in the big show can use
the damp ball until their arms give
out and they are relegated to the
minors. The youngsters just coming
in will not be permitted to use the
delivery, howevar. This will have a
tendeney to slow down the pitchin:‘
in the National League. The yvoung
ster seeking fame in the National
may have more stuff than the veter
an including his spitter. But, bemg.
unable to use this brand of delivery,
he fails to make good and is shunted
bushward once again, while the vet
goes merrily onward using the wild
ear delivery without molestation.
Something wrong with that rule, fei
lows. Its very much like & double
get of by-laws to govern your office.
The fellows who've been around for
a yvear or so are permitted to come
down to work about §:3O of an a. m.
while the bovs who've been working
for anly a few months must get on
the job at 7:30. The younger mem
bers of the organization may turn
out more work and may be better
men, but working*under this handi
cap the seeds of dissension are sown.
it won't work. Y
BATTER IS FAVORED.
The moguls did get together on one

el about as dry as a powder‘
magazine in Arizona. ‘
l
‘thing that will prove a good propo
fsition. however, and the ruling shouldl
\be adopted by the Southern League
;when the directors meet in Atlanta
February 23. Heretofore, when 3 bat
'ter has seen occasion to dodge a
Ithrown ball, and the pellet has acci
dentally collided with his bat, it has
|counted a foul and a strike against
him, if the ball has fallen foul, and
’it has gone for a fair ball if it hitsl
in fair territory. That has always
been an unjust ruling. If the ba.fl‘
goes falr it usually proves a dinky
roller, which the pitcher or infielders
languidly toss to first and the/batter
is retired. He never has a chance te
iheat it out, for he is usually rolling
in the dirt when the ball is fielded |
If it goes foul, it gives him but two
‘more attempts to hit the ball
According to the new ruling the
ball hecomes dead the moment it hits
a batter's bludgeon and he is penal
ized in no way, for having accident
ally touched the sphereoid. Three
cheers for the American moguls.
You’ve seen a batter the unfortunate
victim of this circumstance dozens of
times, and I'l! bet.-you condemned the
ruling. I know you did if there is a
bit of fairness coursing your veins.
CATCHER TO BE PENALIZED.
About the only other change in the
ruling also strikes me as being fair
and just Heretofore, when the
catcher has dropped the third strike,
and the Dbatter has reached first
through this muff, the catcher has
been credited with a passed ball. lln
the future the backstop will be given
an error instead. It is his just des
serts, too.
Sometimes, in looking over the box
score and one sees where the guardian

ANOTHER CHANGE NEEDED. |
There is one flaw in the rules that
I would like to see changed, but 1
guess it will finally evolve on some
one higher up in the game to make
the fight to change it. ‘
That is in regard to errors belng
charged against fielders, even though
fashion, with po runners having aa-‘
vanced on the play. Technically the
catcher has cmmitted on error, but
why scar up his fielding average over
spmething that has amounted to
nothing either one way or the qther.
the batter later is retired with no
damage having been done, other than
that his time at bat has been pro

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—According
to Charley (Kid) Miller, chief rooter
of the Cincinnati Reds, Pat Moran
will. lead. his team to another pen
nant next season. Miller, who is at
present snowbound in New York, de
nied the reports from the West that
there was trouble in the ranks of the
world champions over the contracts
‘handed them by Manager Moran.
FIVE MEN SIGNED.
Miller declared that already five of
the star players are signed up, and it
is only a matter of a few days when
the rest of the~outfit will fall into line.
Slim Saflee and Bill Rariden have
‘tumed in their signed papers. Reuther
has already declared his intentions ot
signing and Hed Eller is due for a
conference with Moran in a short
‘while.
. The rumor that Jake d’Aubert is
dissatisfied with the club is all bosh,
declared the Red rooter.
~ “In Cincinnati,’" said Miller, “re
ports were circulated that Jake was
booked for the mamagement of the
’Memphis club. .
“There is no dour Watkins would
like to land Jake, but there’'s not a
chance of him going elsewhere. ]
“Jake, as he playesdd for Moran last
season, was the best first baseman in
the National League. He never was
better in his life than through the
\Last three months and in the world
series. He didn’t his very much the
early part of the season, but he fin
}whed ot strong.”
WANT GARRY RETAINED.
. Another peculiar obsession of the
[(‘mcinnati fans is that they want to
see Garry Herrmann retained on the
‘rmtional commission. Again, they
would like to see Garry shake off the
Johnson influence. Another hope of
Miller and' his following is that the
Glants stand pat on their makeup for
the coming season. Then they feel
lthe pennant is right in their grasp.
“Everybody in Cincinnati,” said
Miller, “is rooting for Garry to be
returned to the chairmanship, for he
‘is one of our most popular citizens
‘(‘incinnnti fandom resents this fight
against the cha#irman. It looks upon
‘it as an imputation against Garry's
integrity. Out that way we feel Gar
ry is and always has been the real
brains of organized baseball.” |

* The Fulton High girls’ basketball
team, champions in the locgl league
for the past two years, and at the
present time the undefeated leaders
in this year’s pennant race, are seek
ing new worlds to conquer. Arrange
ments have been made for a pair of
encounters between the local girls and
the Hume-Fogg girls’ team of Nash
ville, with the probahle dates for
such games February 20 in Nashville
and March 26 in Atlanta.
This will be the first out of town
trip that the Fulton maidens have
taken this year, :.md undoubtedly this
game will become an annual affair
between the schools, The outcome of
such a game would throw consider
able light on the strength of other
girl cage teams in other parts of the
South, as' compared with those of
Atlanta.
The last games in the first round
will be played Friday afternoon and
at that time the Fultonites will meat
in what will be the hardest fought
engagement of the year—the game
with Marietta. The local girls have
won every battle they have played
this year, while the Marietta lassies
have dropped one. Despite the fact
that Fulton High won from Decatur,
who in turn defeated the Marietta
girls, the dope favors the Cobb
Countians. < ‘

Boys' High gave the dope the gra.n@
old upset Monday afternoon on the
G. M. A. court, when they succeedo:i
in lowering the Cadets colors for the
first time this season, 29-28. The
score indicates the great game play
ed. It was fast and snappy with
first one team leading and then the
other forging to the front by a great
burst of speed and shooting.
The court was packed and jam
med, and the fans were kept at the
highest point of excitement and in
terest by the fast playing. G. M. A,
hopped into the lead soon after {ho
game began, and scored four points
before Boys’ High located the basket.
Then Boys’ High started a rush that
swept the Cadets off their feet, and
when the first half ended Boys’ Hi
was leading by a narrow margin,
14-10. 5
BOYS’ HI INCREASES LEAD. e
The start of second half saw Boys'
High again increase the lead and
the henchmen of Coach O, K. Davia
scored three pointers before the tally
of G. M. A. came across. Then G
M. A. sprang into the lead, when
Murray and Gomez rang a succession |
of field goals. ' The Cadets had a
lead of six points until about five,
successive fouls were talled against |
G. M. A. This, coupled with sev~
eral field goals put Boys’ High into
the lead. :
This lead of three points was held |
by Boys’ High until with ten sec
