'Cities would glvo tho homo team n tremondoun advantage over visiting tonnn,
ffh.y contend that the last season the lively ball wan used, which wan 1911. certain
ioams onjoyed too much of nn ndvantnga on the homo ncld, and thnt In vhy tho
old boll wa brought back Into tiso. It In ovldcnt thnt tho National lrtgue wag.
nates who object to a livelier bnll fear that one particular team, tho Phillies,
would havo oven more of nn ntlvnntngo than they enjoy now bccntiso of tho iminll
flold at Broad and Huntingdon streets. All other arguments against tho roturn
of tho lively ball fell Hat, and tho ono great obstacle -tho small fields can be
eliminated, nnd must bo In time, even though tho bnll question Is In no way
concorned.
Wanting Money With Two Parka
TT IS only a question of a few years beforo tho magnates will reatlzo tho valuo
of using ono pnrlt In every city where two major league clubs nro locntod. This
not only would bo nn Immense nnvlng, but would bo moro pleasing to tho fans.
It also eliminate many of tho objcctlonnblo fouturcn of tho gnmo nt tho prosont
time. With faw exceptions, tho National nnd American Leaguo club.i own tho
plot of ground upon which thoy piny, nnd every owner loolcn upon tho purchasing
Of tho ground as fin excellent Investment for tho future, nml thoy could bo used
for other purposes. In casos of teams playing on fields belonging to pcrnoiiH not
interested In baseball, thcro lias licon dissatisfaction for yours over tho nnortnoun
um demanded for rent. It will not bo long before thuso leases run out nnd tho
rent will bo Increased. It will bo then thnt tho magnates will reull'o tho folly of al
lowing tlicso enorm. no stndluma to bo unused nno-hulf of the season.
Enormous Rental Paid by Phillies and liraves
TXTH CO not know Just what rental tho Phillies nro paying, but It Is safo to nay
tVV that It la upward of 2p,000 per year, wlillo Is a wcll-luiown fact that tho
Boston Braves aro paying Jim aaffney JGO.OOO for tho uso of tho wonderful
Braves Flold. It would cost thoso clubs qtilto u sum to get n relenso from tho
contrncta tboy havo signed to ubo tho jinrks for n certain length of time, but In
tho long run It would provo a paying venture. It would bo much bettor In every
way If tho Phllllos nnd Athletics both used Hhlbo Pnrlt, whllo tho liraves could
movo over to Fenway Field In Boston. The latter Is not quite no big or beautiful
as Qaflnoy's field, but tho saving In tho long run would mnka the switch worth
while. Both New York clubs aro playing on tho Polo Clrounds, nnd It would bo
An ezeollent Idea If both Chicago teams used Comlskoy'H park, with tho Ht. hauls
teams playing on tho Amerlcnn Lcaguo Mold. In every Instnnco tho teams moving
cut would play on largor noldn, nnd tho lively ball would mntto llttlo dirfo'renco.
Lively Ball Responsible for Interest in 1911
THERE Is a wholo lot to Percy IInughton'H proposal to lncrcnso tho tinttlng nnd
baao running. Tho fans In this city novor enjoyed baseball mora or supported
tta-'two local teams batter thnn In 1011, when tho lively bnll resulted In noma
Wondorful batting feats by tho famous Mack machlno nnd tho slugging Phils,
who led tho National Louguo until nccldcnts deprived tliu team of tho services
of threo star players nt a critical stngo of tho race. Figures show that thoro wore
81 G homo-run drives In tho National Loaguo nnd SI 9 In tho Amorlcnn T.cnguo In
1011. Last season thcro woro Just about half thin number. Tho lively ball Is tho
answer, and the hits woro npportloned on tho nnmo ratio. It ntnmlji to renxnn
' that when thoro aro mora hits nnd extra linno drives thcro will bo moro bnso run
ning and tho fans got moro action.
McGraw's Suggestion Not Practical
OTIIEIt suggestions havo boon made, but thcro la something radically wrong
, with each. Nona of tho mngnntcs Is nbla to agrco an to tho boat way to salvo
the. 'problem. Tho uuggostloriH thnt tho batter bo given his baso on threo called
bap) nnd doing nwny with ono of tho foul striken havo been plcltod to pieces by
persons in position to kill any motion to ndnpt cither. - John McGrnw, who really
i is responsible for tho movement to lncrcnso tho batting nnd baso running, favors
tho elimination of the spit-ball nnd suggests that nil Illegal deliveries could bo
abolished If tho plfchor wcro compelled to keep his hands Imtow his shoulders until
be starts to swing. This might climlnulo tho nplt-liall, but other mora harmful
dellver(cs could bo used without foar of detection, wlillo tho great overhand pitchers
of the gamo would ba ruined by enforcing such n delivery. Tho moro ono goes
into the matter, tho moro ho becomes convlucod thnt It Is too Into to rectify tho
troublo by legislating against tho pitchers nt tho present time. Homo ono may
strlko upon an unmontlaucd plan, but it' Is doubtful if tho present light hitting nnd
falling off In Interest enn bo eliminated by nnythlng hut tho icturn of tho lively
-ball.
Lively Ball the Only Solution
IT IS sold that tho high cost of rubber will cmuto tho mugrmtos to frown upon
tho lively-ball Idea, but If tho owners go through with their threats to cut
salaries right and left they should bo nblo to nfford a bnll that will cost a few conts
extra. It Is certain that thu bnllmaknra could iioho tho problem If the magnates
glvo their consent, nnd It would bo n wlso movo to consult tho leading baseball
makers boforo tampering with rules that havo proved tfntlsfnc.tory In every wny, no
Car as tho playing end of tho gnmo Is concorned. Of courso, tho Nntlnnnl Agree
Kent, National Commission nnd other legal rulings never will bo no perfect that
every one will bo satisfied, but If tho gamo Is Improved tho fans will not care, us
they really aro not interested in tho mngnates anyway,
i Chinese In fielder a Wonderful Performer
WORD has boon received from Honolulu that Aynu, tho Chinese shortstop, Iioh
signed to play with Seattle, of the. Northwestern League. Last season Aynu
slgnod with Spokane, but novor reported. An unwritten law barring Mongolians
from tho national gamo Is said to havo caused Spokano to notify Ayau not to
report. Wo havo seen this chap Ayau, who was recommended by several major
league scouts threo years ago, nnd bcllovo thnt nothing but nn unwrltton law enn
keep him out of the major leaguos. Ho Is without doubt thu llnost looking inllold
prospect wo over havo seen out of tho major leagues. Aynu i;i Just about Davo
Bancroft's sizeis much fastor on his foot and hits tho ball harder. Of courso, ho is
not the finest product yet, but is every Inch a ball plnyor nnd would bo another
Bancroft if developed prdporly.
Many Yale Men Take Part in Sports
STATISTICS show that 22(0 Yale students took part In fall sports, Is It any
wonder thp Kits are coming back? It Is tho kind of spirit and Interest in
athletics that carried Yale to Its supremo height a few years ago. Than came tho
falling off in Interest, duo to too much success. Penn'n big football year and the
enthusiasm shown by tho student throughout tho season Indicates that tho Hed
and Blue may soon ba a rival of Yalo for all-round nthletlo interest. It has been
years since Fenn has had oven 600 students taking part In sports for tho antiro
season.- But let lis forget the past nnd look to tho future. With Penn leading tho
eolleglata .world In all sports.
Some Interesting Figures on Athletic Economics
DR. WALTER FEET pajnts out tho difference in economics of college sports by
using two notes appearing in the same column of a New York paper recontly.
Ons wast "As an example of tho present coaching system. Harvard gave its
football coaches $60,000 last year."
Another was: "The students of tho University of Now Hampshire are .going to
t?ulld their own stadium. They wilt do all the work, Including bleachers, track nndj
Held, Engineers of tho university havo comjiloted all details, and work will begin
within a few days. To show the great saving thut has been made, tho Mold imd
stands will cost llttlo moro than $500."
Which reminds us that Penn needs $3,000,000 to build its stadium, and does
sat anticipate a great deal of troublo raising it.
-KTEW YORK paper headline ejiys, "Syracuse Una Greatest Tank." New York
IN papers should know better than that. Tho National League meeting was held
there.
. '
3A,8KETDALL critics Insist that the loss of Harry Hough probably will cost
Jasper the Eastern League pennant. It will be recalled that Trenton released
ihe veteran because he was slowing down nnd demanded' a large salary. At tho
present time Trenton has the largest salary list In the league, but Is next to lost.
How enq you figure out these magnates of all sports?
TIII8 weather is fine. At least that is what Bill Bykes says. Wa asked BUI
. what hwajs doing with his apoft tune nQW.tbat snow, covered Jhegolf links.

The Worth of Patrick Moran
OF ALL lending mRnngern who have
achieved a distinct success In the game,
it strikes us thnt Pat Moran, the Phllly
director, has obtained far less than Ills
share of pralso.
Pat won n pennnnt In 1915 with n ball
club than no ons figured ns a first division
team.
This laat season, with n cluh rated fourth
or fifth, he remained In the fight until Dan
croft waa Injured In the final week with n
club that beat Urooklyn In seven of the last
eight games through tho stretch. Pat waa
firing nwny at tho peak until within two
days of tho closn with ono grcnt pitcher,
whnro the leading batsman of his club wns
fixed at 383 and whero Dannroft, his In
field star, dropped to .213. Moran Is rigged
out with tho qualities that a winning man
ager needs firmness, good Judgment nnd
tho respect of his tribe.
Ah long as tho combination of Moran
and Aloxandcr is around, tho Phillies aro
not very likely to ba regarded again nn
open-faced targets for nny hostllo Are.
The controlling powers In tho American
Lcaguo nro basoball men. The controlling
powers In tho National Leaguo are business
men. The rest of It Is obvious enough.

Johnny Dundoe, Scotty Montelth'H wal

tho Olympla last night, repeotlng of ono
balmy night last spring when he clearly
outpunched, outfought and thoroforo out
pointed tho aray'n Ferry flash.
Dundee did not havo thmgs entirely his
own last night Ho was forced to the limit
by Fleming nnd to tho limit ho went to
beat Buckle. Dundoo'a left, which seemod
to come from nowhere in particular but

a puzzle to Fleming that a Unltod States

oftener If ho had n chin larger than Al
Dcmnreo's, and when the frequency with
which he found Buck'8 physios' became
monotonous. Jumping Johnny merely would
switch his attack to the body, meeting with
equal success.
The mill was what press agents are prone
to call a "tearing, crashing, smashing" en

of the eighteen minutes ho was obliged to
face the uneasy Dundeo and tho house waa
