Advancing civilization continuos lo prow more and moro complex. ?
, "i ou either step into a tunnel clown below, a fast, one on level gTountl or
an air pocket if you leave the earth. Civilization merely means that many '
, mere bunkers to the course of existence. Take the case of Judge Landis. i
He has the baseball muddle to clear up. And three thousand years ago |
all Hercules had to clean out was the Augean stable?!.
Trailing Geiett Burgess
I've never lamped a fivc-base hit.
\vd yet I'd like to lamp one.
These modern rules won't stand for it.
And bli'me how, they cramp one!
1'ce never holed a brassic rap,
My bent is often punfeer.
But what a pipe it is to slap
.1 drive into a bunker!
How Long Before They Learn?
Organized baseball showed a passionate reluctance, amounting to aj
keen abhorrence, toward taking up the White Sox scandal. Organized |
baseball firially moved when it was pushed over the cliff.
The developments of that affair offered O. B. a fine opportunity, to !
learn something connect?e! with sudden action and quick publicity. What ;
, O. 1!. learn? Not a lap-cared thing.
Then followed the Benton-Herzog muddle?then the Zimmerman fiare-:
up. Again, was there any sudden leap to clear up the scandal brought on?
Again, there was not. Always the old cry?"These things hurt the game."
Apparently it has never occurred to organized baseball in its fifty years
of existence that the public has anyUdng to do with the game,'or any
right*? to be respected.
It has never occurred to any one to let the public know precisely what
is going on, without waiting a year or two.
'These things hurt the game"
They do. Especially "these things" that consist of balking or attempt- j
ing to cover up every scandal that develops.
This is where Judge Landis will have his greatest chance. There is j
nothing in connection with any scandal that a baseball magnate knows j
which the baseball public is not entitled to know as well.
The Livelier Ball
It is with no intention of yawping at the modern batting eye that we '
cail attention lo a few vital statistics connected with the modern baseball !
used. I
Just how much livelier the present baseball is than the ball used eight j
years ago we can't say. But you can do a bit of surmising on your own j
hook after perusing these figures:
In 1913 the hard hitting Athletics, with Collins, Baker, Mclnnis,
Strunk, Schang, Oldring and others at work, accumulated 1,413 base hits |
? r a grand average of .285.
Last year St. Louis gathered 1,615 hits for a grand average of .308. \
Also it might be noted that St. Louis, Cleveland, Chicago and Washington I
all had a higher club average last season than the slashing Mackmen had ;
eight year.-; ago.
In Addition
This testimony isn't all of it. In 1913 the eight American League :
clubs managed to disperse a total of 15S home runs, using practically the \
same bats and the same ball parks in use to-day.
But last year the eight American League clubs ran up a total of 370 ;
home runs, or well more than double the 1913 output.
It isn't unlikely, of course, that even with the same ball some in?
crease might have been noted, although that old Mackian machino was ?.
whale with the mace.
But to find four ball clubs of to-day outbatting that machine by j
many points and to find the home run deposit, lifted from 158 to 370 are !
proof enough that the bail's inlay has been injected with about 50 per !
rent more pop.
Not that any secret has been made of the case or that any scandal is
involved. If the ecstatic fanatic esteems the Big Blooie above everything'
else, why not give it to him?
But when it comes to comparing late batting records with those made ;
a few years ago, the comparison doesn't stand.
In 1913, when Collins was at his best, he batted .345. Last season,
seven years older, he batted .369. In 1914 Collins scored 125 runs on 184
hits. Last year he scored 115 runs on 222 hits.
As a spectacle the livelier ball helps the game. The 212 additional
runs -truck off last season over 1913 merely meant an additional 212
pvue '.racking thrills. We have ney?r seen a crowd yet leave a ball park j
ng because too many home rons were pelted over the paKngs. Not
yet. Nor very soon.
The next move should be for a livelier football that you can kick
seventy-five or eighty yards on a fly. Then you'll get action?plus nine.

For Davis Cup
Teams Placed in Order of
Competition to Fight for?
\Jorld Tennis Trophy
In the presence of representatives of
several challenging nations and officeds ':
of the United States Lawn Tennis Asso?
ciation the drawinj for the Davis Cup
competition took place yesterday after
noon in the office of the local associa- j
tion.
With challenges from twelve cour.
tries, tho greatest entry in the history
of competition for the trophy which !
William Tilden 2d, and William John- '??
ston recently brought back to this
country from Australia, it was neces?
sary to place only eight competitors |
in the first round. The other four took
byes, which were equally divided be- :
tween the upper and lower halves.
It was a "blind" draw. That is, the I
name of each entry was written on a I
card, the twelve cards were placed face .
down on a table and after being shuf?
fled were dra>vn at random. Here is '
the result:
FIRST ROUND
Spain vs. British Isles.
Canada vs. Australia.
Japan vs. Philippines
Czecho-Slovakia vs. Relfc."
BYES
Argentine vs. Denmark.
India vs. France.
Nations all Notified
The winner of the Argentine-Den?
mark match will meet trie winner in
the upper half of the first round and
either India or France will meet t'hp
team victorious in the lower half.
Immediately following the drawing
notice of the outcome was cabled to all
the competing nations, and the cup
committee will shortly determine the
date by which the first-round matches!
must be complete:!. In event of dis?
agreement on this point decision will
be reached by arbitration.
Until the nations involved have had
an opportunity to arrange their pre?
liminary matches it is impossibli to
tell what matches will be played here,
but it seems likely that st leas* six
contests will be decided in this coun?
try.
The Spain-Great (Britain and Czecho?
slovakia matches will likely bo played
in Europe, while the Australians are
expected to meet the. Canadians or.
United States, soil.
Japanese Match Here
Largely because Kumagae and
Kashi, in whom Japan places its hope,
are residents of this country, the Far
East tilt between Japan and the Phil?
ippines probably will te played here.
Arr.-entina and Denmark, it is believed,
will play in the United State.- and
France will entertain India's repre?
sentatives.
The American team will meet the
winner of the semi-finals for the Davis
Cup at Forest Lulls, L. I., en Septem?
ber 3.
Among those present at the draw
were Mark Sheldon, Government Com?
missioner of Australia: Gaston Tisne,
of the French High Commission; Ju?
lian S. Myrick, president of the United
States Lawn Tennis Association; Rob?
ert D. Wrenn, former president;

Canada Gives Du fres ne
Amateur Hockey Card
MONTREAL, March 16.?George Du
fresne, Canadian hockey player, whose
eligibility as an amateur had been
questioned, to-day was granted his
amateur card by the registration com- ;
mittee of the Quebec branch of th(
Amateur Hockey Association.
His suit to compel the comniitl ie ti
restore him to the amateur ranks was
dismissed.
BOSTON, March 16. -The executive
committee of the United States Hocke;
Association, at a meeting here to-night,
decided to initiate an arrangement by ;
which, beginning next season, the ?
championship hockey teams of the col
legea will play the champions of the
several groups of the United States ;
Association for the national title.
As a means of making uniform the
systems of play it was voted that the
association should recommend that the '
colleges of the United States accept, j
six-man hockey. Harvard, acknowledged
champion this year, already has indi- j
cated that it will change from the
seven-man system next season. It was I
voted also that, effective netx year, ,
members of college teams should be
eligible to play with clubs- of their I
choice after the college season ends.

r?Wilson Defends Rii
O'Dowd Confident He Wilt
Regain Middleweight Crown
Champion Rulos 8?5 Fa?
vorite Over Predecessor
for 15-Round Contest
By W. J. Macbeth
(?renter Now York, Rt Madison
Square Garden to-night, will see its ?'
first middleweight championship bout
in four years, when Johnny Wilson
defends bis title through fifteen
rounds against Mike.O'Dowd, whom he I
bested for the crown. The champion :
rulos favorite at 8 to 5.
Thi3 should he a right worthy of
the occasion. The occasion, as every ?
one knows (or should know;, ?a St.
Patrick's Day, and Mike is out to
make it a red letter day for the patron
saint of tho Emerald Isle.
For various reasons the middle- .
weight division seems to have been
sadly neglected? of late. There is a
certain psychology to pri?ering ap?
peal In styles and sizes it runs in
cycles, like milady's taste for fashion.
There was a time not so lonsr ago when
the best of our heavies couldn't get a
passing glance, though good heavy?
weight attractions are always at a
premium. The fault, doubtless, vas
"with the crop of heavies, such as they
were.
Just now' the little men seem to be
in popular favor: none more so than
the flyweights, the bantams and the
feathers. Benny Leonard stands so
far above the lightweights that in?
terest in this perennial shrine had
dwindled to next to nothing until
Rocky Kansas relighted the torch by
km eking out Richie Mitchell. But
wherever there has been a lack of in
? ?rt any division invariably, an
gat i on will show, there is also
a lack in well-balance '. class in that
pari icular division.
Great Middles in Old Days
In the old ?days the middleweight
was or.a of o#r most popular classes.
A scattering new bf its heroes conjure
tl ? shades of Ruby Bob Eitzsirr.mo...?,
Tommy Ryan, Steve Ketchell, Billy
Papke and" George Chip.
Half a dozen years af;o the class
into disrepute. Al McCoy, a
southpaw, won the crown 1 y knocking
out George Chip. Most every on"
ight it was a lucky punch, a
fluke, that turned the" trick. This
opinion was solidified by McCoy's ac?
tions. He immediately went into his
shell and would fight nobody but
"marks." He finally bumped into
'. O'Dowd and his Waterloo at the Cler
mont Rink, in Brooklyn, on thu last
day of the Frawley law. back in 1917,
Because he refused to right the tough
ones .McCoy became known as the
?'cheese" champion. His traducers de?
clare he vas a fluke and rejoiced when
O'Dowd flattened him. O'Dowd was a
popular champion. He fought them a!'
as fast as they could come. He won
is title by a knockout; he lost it to
Wilson by a referee's decision a'ter
fighting twelve rounds in Boston last
May. That decision has since come ir
l'or a lot of argument. There are
those who maintain that Mike was
robbed.
Be that as it may, to-night may de?
cide. The fact remains that the men
seem pretty evenly matched, as the ac?
companying box of comparisons will
show. Even since he lost the crown
O'Dovvd has been on Wilson's trail for
i return engagement. There are those
who believe that in accepting this
match he planned to take Mike un?
awares. Mike, however, is willing to
abide by to-night's result
Champion Comparatively Unknown
For O'Dowd it may be said he has
fought them all in his class. Wilson
has not. He was comparatively un?
known before he was awarded the de
ovei Mike. He was born in Har?
lem of Italian parents. He left the
city two years ago as a fourth rate
preliminary fighter. The most money
ever got for an engagement before
winning the championship was S65 in
Philadelphia. He earned $1,200 with
the title. His right name is Giovanni
Francisco P?nica.
O'Dowd, who is 25 years of age, one
year Wilson's junior, was raised in St.
Paul. He has been boxing eight year?
He has held his own in no-decision
bouts with Bily Miske and Soldier Bart
f-eld. He beat Mike Gibbons in ten
rounds in St. Paul niter he won the
championship. He has defeated Dalian.

seconds after the start of the g3me and
was never headed.
Faced with defeating the Creen in
order to have a clear title to the
league championship, the Pennsylvan
ians showed the Dartmouth, fans the-!
fastest exhibition of basketball seen !
here in recent years and, except for a,
few minutes at the start of the second
half, outplayed the homo five complete?
ly. The first half ended 17?6, in
Penn's favor.
Penn drew first blood. Graves rush?
ing down the floor and netting a
basket from close quarters. His
teammates followed this lead with a .
rush and had ten points hung up be- '
fore the Green started. Dartmouth
did little until the second half
opened when they began with a rush ;
and brought the score to 1J-13, before
the Red and Blue players got control ?
of the situation.
Dartmouth was forced to do most
of the shooting from long range. Both
McNichol and Cullen were oif form.
and Huntzinger and Rosenast were the ;
outstanding Penn players. Summary: :
