Huggius's First Squad Piles Up 9 to 1 Lead in
Fifth, but Sod-Busters Come Back and Score
Seven Runs ; Manager Ends Slugging Bee
By W. J. Macbeth
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 11.?In a free-for-all, slug-as-you
please, which was limited to six innings because of the. terrific action of
one fell spasm, Miller "Huggins's regulars finally managed to defeat the
second team, by a score of 9 to 8, at South Side Park t?is afternoon.
The "seconds" were nosed out, but?
not disgraced. They furnished more
than their share of the fireworks. They ,
battled bravely and gamely in the face j
of overwhelming defeat and so sue- :
eessftilly that the midget manager ;
called time at thr end of the sixth,
possibly to save the faces of his old;
guard. For the sod busters were com?
ing strong at the end. j
in the fifth inning the colts suffered ?
a slap of six runs, which put the i
score 9 to 1 against them. But in their
half they came right back with seven
tallies, leaving the brave regulars j
somewhat blown of wind from chasing
the ball all over the sun-baked lot.
Champions at Plate
The moral of this story is: Always
eat your fill.
Huggins has two rookies with ap- :
petites that are the envy of Ruth. They
are Warren Collins, a pitcher from
Texas, who modestly admits to several
drop kicks from the 70-yard line and
beyond on Texas gridirons. He is "Kip"
Collins, who got a tumbie out of Wal?
ter Cnmp once.
Collins is supposed to have the speed
of Walter Johnson. He has the speed
all right ?at the plate, anyhow. .His ;
first luncheon cheek totaled S.VjO,
mostly for vegetables. This made Marie
de Vitalis, the Brown University I
athlete, so sore that he ate up $-1.10
worth of breakfast knick-knacks this
morning. And around tho two appeti?
tes revolves the story.
Collins, still fresh from luncheon,
opened the battle in the box for tho
regulars. ?le was all right in every
particular, carried Carl Mays over the
sticks at a merry pace, and after three
innings turned the game over to Bob
McGraw, .2 to 1, in his favor.
De Vitalis took on where Mays left
off. He was naturally hungry when
he started and fairly famished after
one inning's effort. He got so ravenous
looking at the plate that he lost him?
self completely and handed out three
passes. These, bunched with two
doubles and as many singles, gave five
runs to the regulars and an apparent
stranglehold of the argument.
Even Bodic Steals Base,
Several times the grandstand man
agers thought De Vitalis about to eat I
the ball, lie fondled it so long and
lovingly that Sammy Vick was able to |
pilfer both second and third and Ping '
Bodie to steal the midway. The astute
Mr. Huggins, who is an expert diag?
nostician, promised Mario quick relief ?
if he would only get that inning fin?
ished, and dispatched Phil Schenck for
a bushel of peanuts. This sustenanco
revived De Vitalis sufficiently for him
to finish out a strong sixth inning.
Judged by and large the game was
as close as the score indicates, though
scarcely so thrilling. Three of the
four pitchers were as wild as the pro?
verbial March liare. Mays, De Vitalis
and McGraw all suffered one bad in?
ning, each handing out three bases on
balls. Mays's long experience stood
him in good stead, for, though he start?
ed off by walking three, he was forced
to hit a runner in order that the
regulars might score one run against
him.
This was a freak inning, whero o'hly
one tally came from three ^passes, a
passed ball, a hit batsman and a single.
Fewster. who led off with a single, was I
trapped at second by Mays's snap throw j
to Ward. J
Meusel Outplays Fewster
Fewster suffered in comparison to
Meusel on the day's play. The big
fellow made a couple of sensational
plays that smacked of the born third
packer and drove in two runs with a
long double. Twice, in the fifth in?
ning, Fewster foozled easy chances,
which fact helped put McGra further
into difficulty.
As a first baseman "Truck" Hannah
is a bum catcher. He fumbled two
easy throws from Biemiller and slob?
bered all over a grounder from the
bat of Ruth.
The fifth inning was a game in itself.
The regulars batted completely around
and the colts went them one better,
sending no less than an even dozen
bitters against McGraw. Thirteen runs
were scored.
Ruth didn't get one safo hit, but he
reached first four times, twice by
errors and twice on passes. Tho Babe
is nursing a grouch. A consignment
of his bats, which lie expected to be
awaiting him here, never arrived. Ruth
ordered a dozen of his specials from
Louisville. These were supposed to
have been shipped four days ago.
"If those bats don't come soon I'll go
daffy," declared Ruth to-day. "I sim?
ply can't use one of the others."

Wheat and Myers
At Dodgers' Camp;
O'Day as Umpire
Special Correspondence, to The Tribune
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 11.?
Tho Dodgers' squad was increased to?
day by the arrival of the only two
experienced outfielders on the team's
roster, Zack Wheat and Hy Myers.
The popular Hy reported to Uncle
Robbie early this morning and in the
afternoon Captain Zack blew into camp
from his home in New Polo, Mis.
The only cno missing now is Bur
leigh Grimes, one of Ribbie's moist
ball hurlers. Wheat and Myers ap?
pear to be in good physical condition
and Uncle Robert may put them in the
lirst game of the series against the
Yankees. If they do break into the
battle it will be for only two or
three innings.
Four members of the Dodgers' hurl- :
ing staff were put to a test this after?
noon in the seven-inning game played !
between the regulars and yannigans.
Umpire O'Day, who will be one of the
arbitrators in the coming conflicts with
the American Leaguers, arrived and
umpired the game. He forced the \
pitchers to perform as they will have j
to after the season opens.
Several times during the fray O'Day :
; stopped the game and cautioned the
si ab s ter who was working against spit?
ting in his glove or rubbing the ball
. on his uniform. Clarence Mitchell
I violated the rule which prohibits a !
pitcher rubbing the pellet on any part !
of his clohting. Mitchell was warned \
four times in three innings.
The contest resulted in a 4 to 3 vie
tory for the yannigans. Paul Schreiber
and John Miljus were, the opposing
huilers in the first four frames.
Schreiber pitched for the regulars and
the colts scored two runs off him in
the first round. In the fourth frame
the regulars evened the count on sin?
gles by Miller, Koney and Mitchell and
an error by Pete Kilduff. Cadore
pitched the last three frames for the
youngsters and wfcs opposed by
Mitchell, who started the game as the
regulars' right fielder. ?

Toney Pounded for Five Runs
In Second Inning; Score, 6 to 1
_ m <Sv._
Benton Goes Into Box
Too Late to Save "Sec?
onds" ; Play Six Innings
SAN ANTONIO, fex., March 11 ?
After two defeats and one tie game, the
players composing the Giants' regular
team defeated the motley second string
combination this afternoon by a score
of 6 to 1. The Armadillos, as the reg?
ulars are called, won from the Enchu?
tados, the pet name of the rookies, in
a tight battle of six innings.
The score does not indicate the
closeness of the battle, as five of the
runa were flustered- in the second in?
ning. In this frame the regulars
pounced upon th? ponderous person of
Fred Toney, making his first appear
nac of the year on the mound, for a
quintet of tallies that settled the issue
beyond peradventure.
Jesse Barnes and Arthur Nehf, the
$40,000 beauty, divided the pitching
for the regulars. Each turned, in three
innings of efficient work. Fred Toney
and Rube Benton worked for the
rookies, and aside from Toney's "blow?
up" in the second, it was the closest
resemblance to big league baseball
witnessed on the spring training trip.
Toney, however, must be excused for
| his miserable showing. The big pitcher
j did not report until last Sunday and
has not had sufficient time to reduce
much excess weight. When the "regs"
started to bat the offerings of Toney
at random Fred was for going away
from the box for" the afternoon. But
McGraw insisted that he take his medi?
cine and the burly Tennesseean lasted
out the round, although he was groggy
at the finish.
Benton took up the task in the next
inning, and during his stay on the
knoll the veterans got one run off him.

Football Shifts
? Letting "well enough" alone is always a safe policy?but who wants
to play it safe forever?
Last season football as played was "well enough"?too good a game,
I in fact, to call for any extended innovations.
But this doesn't mean it was absolutely change proof.
Two Changes
As the next twenty-four or the next forty-eight hours will be replete
with passionate debate upon the subject, some additional discussion might
"be in order.
Viewed from an advanced perch, there are two changes that seem
fairly certain. One is to shift the goal after touchdown from a one-man
stunt to a team proposition by having the said goal kicked from a scrim?
mage formation in front of the goal posts.
The other will eliminate cutting down from behind, a play that is
unfair physically and more than unfair ethically.
As a Climax
The goal-after-touchdown is now more or less of an anti-climax.
There are times, of course, when it may b? a matter of vital importance,
but it is always a one-man turn.
And the* team that rushes the ball over by fine football in the left or
right hand corner is at a big disadvantage against a rival touchdown
planted between the goal posts after a fumble or a fluke. Touchdowns
are scarce enough these days, without restricting their areas.
With the goal-after-touchdown to be kicked from scrimmage by either
a place or drop kick, the entire twenty players are involved in the trans?
action, and the episode will always be a keen spectacle to watch.
It is at least worth a season's trial.
Other Changes
Other changes suggested will likely be tossed overboard. As the
forward pass improved football and increased its popularity, those who
hope to have it abolished might as well employ their time in attempting
to push over the Woolworth Building or levai Gibraltar with a mashie
niblick. The forty-play-suggestion is too serious a change. It should first
be tested thoroughly in actual competition before given serious consid?
eration.
. Scoring Values
It has been argued that a base runner who gets as far as third base
should receive a greater award than the runner who is held at first. And
that the football team which reaches the 5-yard line should receive some
substantial reward over the team held at the 20-yard line.
In a way, this is well enough.
But the main goal, whether it be the home plate or the goal line, has
always been the one big objective because it simplified the contest and
condensed the thrill.
j If various values were given for various bases and various chalk lines,
only a set of expert accountants could ever follow a game and have any
faint glimmering as to which club was ahead.
Life has enqugh complexities, as it is, along the daily route without
crowding them over into our sport?the one placet where the morbid
citizen turns for recreation. I
One main target is quite* enough to shoot at.
Clean It Up ^
First, there was a widespread babble of voices after the world
series, where various charges and counter charges were whispered back
and forth. '
Then came the mysterious announcement that certain players (names
withheld) had been dropped for certain offenses (also withheld).
It strikes us that the time has come?has, in fact been some months
overdue?for a complete and thorough airing.
If those who control the destinies of baseball desire the confidence
and cooperation of the public which pays for the game, then, the public
must be taken into the confidence of the magnates.
If any ball player is guilty of any serious charge, his name, his
offense and the penalty should be published to the world.
In the same way, if it can be shown that any club owner has an
Interest in more than one club, his guilt also should be published, since he,
too, belongs to the wreckers.
The need of a reorganized National Commission has been evident
for'many weeks to handle one of the most ,serious situations that has
ever confronted the game. John Heydler has been anxious for this reor?
ganization, but he has received small help.
What baseball needs is an open court. And it is either going to get
an open court or there will be very little baseball left.
Looking before you leap would be fine advice if a man couldn't clear
a wider pit from a running start than from a standing jump. No maxim
means as much after it has been analyzed.
! Last Putt Beats
Mrs. Morrow in
Final at Belleair
BELLEAIR HEIGHTS, Fla., March 11.
I ?Edith *Cumming8, of Chicago, became
1 the golf champion of Belleair to-day
when she defeated Mrs. G. K. Morrow,
of the Engineers' Club, in the final of
| the tournament by one up. The match
I was a splendid one to watch and it took
the last putt to decide the contest.
Miss Cummings negotiated a putt of
ten feet from the top of a mound,
putting the ball into hole for a par 4,
i while Mrs. Morrow, five feet away from
! the cup, missed her try for a half.
There was never more than a hole's dif?
ference between them at any stage of
the battle.
Several pros watched the match, in?
cluding Jim Barnes, who predicted that
Miss Cummings would be a national
champion some day.
In the second eight Miss Florence Mc
Neely, of Philadelphia, defeated Miss
Bernice Wall, of Oshkosh, by 3 and 2.
French Champion
Gets a Chance to
Redeem Himself
Jim Londos, the Greek wrestling
champion, will reappear before local
wrestling fans when he tackles Salva

in a finish match Monday night, at
Madison Square Garden, This duel will
be a prelude to the clash between Earl
Caddock and "Strangler" Lewis, the
winner of which will meet Joe Stecher
for the world's championship.
Though the bout between Caddock
and Lewis is of greater importance,
there isn't any doubt that the Londos
Chevalier affair will furnish excitement
galore. LondoB has wrestled three times
in this city and on each occasion the
crowd was amazed by his wonderful
speed and strength. The energetic
Greek is one of t?ie most popular
grapplers in the game. Last week
Chevalier lost to Caddock after a game

Football Rules
Solons Consider
Changes To-day
Several Radical Reforms
Suggested, bat None Ap?
pear to Have Chance
The first formal meeting of the In?
tercollegiate Football Rules Committee
in several years will bo held here to
right at the Hotel JBiltmore. It is gen?
erally expected the conference will be
attended by the entire fourteen mem?
bers, representing colleges and uni?
versities -from all sections of the
country.
While a number of radical changes
in the playing rules probably will be
suggested, it is believed that but few
of these will receive more than per?
functory consideration. Judging from
unofficial expressions of opinion among
the members of the committee, the
present rules have been found to be
satisfactory.
Among the suggestions advanced by
various coaches and authorities, which
may be offered for consideration of
the committee, are the following:
Attempted goal kick following touch?
down to be made from regular scrim?
mage formation in the manner of a
field goal.
A reduction of four and a half feet
in the space between goal posts, which
at present are placed 18.6 feet apart.
That periods of the game be meas?
ured by a certain number of plays in?
stead of the regular fifteen-minu'le
quarters.
That a punted ball which strikes ?n
the field of play and then rolls across
the goal shall be put in play where it
first struck instead of on the 20-yard
line.
Other more radical rule changes, ad?
vanced unofficially, include a proposal
to credit a team with a certain num?
ber of points according to the total
yardage gained whjle in uninterrupted
possession of the ball; an extra period
? of play where a game ends in a tie,
| and vurying values for touchdowns
j made under conditions involving team
! jAay, as opposed to touchdowns scored
? from fumbled balls and intercepted
'? passes.
