PERHAPS a better arrangement would havo been to have made a higher
weight limit, say 160 pounds, and then weighed the men before starting
work. In other words, to have made Ineligible any man who tipped the
scales at 160 pounds or more before the season started.

Chance to feel the pigskin because of their small stature men who should enjoy
the fruits of this form of athletio training. Of course, there is not the same pre
mium put on beef in the game today as there was ten years ago, and gridiron
coaches will tell you that they are after speed and not flesh in building up a mod
ern football team. At the same time, there is small chance for a youth under 135
r 140 pounds to "make" a big college eleven, no matter how fast lie may be.
The same scheme might work In the shot-put and hammer-throw. At present
nly the big, powerful men can hope to represent their college in these events,
and there are many miniature Goliaths who take their athletics from a point in
the cheering section who should be out there deriving the benefits of active participation.

Double Portion From the Pessimist Served With Figures
(ACCORDING to some of the literary masterpieces emanating from the South-
land, both Pat Moran and Connie Mack have some flashy youngsters under
their managerial wings this spring. Amazing tales of terrific hitting and super
human base-running are daily finding their way across the line made famous by
the well-known Messrs. Mason and Dixon all of which would be most encouraging
Were the yarns accompanied by figures and statistics. Perhaps we are unduly
pessimistic for delving into the records of some of the youths now cavorting over
the sun-baked diamonds of Florida, but it is with real pleasure that we submit
the fruits of our Industry. Fred Ley, the Colorado youngster with Connie at Jack
sonville, Is a real flash the records prove it. Frederick holds several Rocky
Mountain track records and Is therefore something of a base-runner. Now all he
has to do In order to win a place on Mack's team Is to prove that he can hit and
field in major league style. Ley is twenty-five years old and a native of Boulder,
Col. He attended the University of Colorado and It was while there that he
hung up' some track records in the furlong and quarter. Here are the works on Ley:
He has romped over the 100-yard stretch In 10 seconds flat, which is consid
erable romping, even in our best athletic circles. But that isn't all. Frederick
has done 220 In SI 4-5 seconds and the quarter in 51. Need more be said? Where
bt the catcher who can nip this speed merchant at second or third? Where is the
man who can drop a Texas leaguer to the sod with such a flyer flashing around
the outfield? Perhaps the American League Is full of them perhaps It isn't.
Who but Father Time can 'tell?
WJ.THOUT wishing to discourage the speedy Mr. Ley, attention is called
to anoth'er wonderful runner who scampered across the Philadelphia
baseball horizon In the spring of 1913. His name was Ralph Capron, and
we use the verb "scampered" advisedly. Capron was touted as the fastest
thing in baseball, and he probably was; but he played one game and then
the minors swallowed him up. Ralph could run, but that let him out.
Talking It Over With

Van
and bangs out. a letter to the Sporting
hurdles for an Incident alleged to have taken place last season at Broad and
Huntingdon streets. "JMF" takes exception to the displeasure Niehoff Is charged
With having displayed when Stock made an error which did not count In the
coring, and adds that the culprit himself made two errors later in the same game
Which virtually lost the contest. While we hold no brief for Niehoff, our recol
lection of the affair is that Bert was encouraging Stock and not condemning him
en that occasion, and while we may be wronfs, the fact that Niehoff and Stock are
close friends would seem to bear out our construction. Seldom do those in the
grandstand hear the words which pass between players, and they (the fans) some
times Interpret their gestures wrongly. The fact that a player shakes his doubled
lists and probably his head at a teammate who has Just made an error does not
necessarily mean that he is calling the culprit down. On the contrary, he is more
likely to be tailing him to "forget it and get the next one."
TN PASSING, it may be suggested that a player can "call" another wlth-
- out displaying poor sportsmanship. Johnny Evers, Charlie Herzog,
i " Maranvllle, Knabo and a lot of other first-class baseball sportsmen do It
repeatedly, and who will say that it

ROSE FIELD, Jacksonville. Fla., March 17.
The first practice game of the season was
played between the Athletics" Regulars and
the Colts. As the weather was ideal for a
holiday attraction the stands were well filled
with patrons of the pastime.
The tourists are leaving rapidly, however.
In view of the threatened strike, which may
tie up the members of the Athletics on their
homeward Journey. If such a crisis comes
the team will remain here longer and return
to Philadelphia by steamship from this port.
For the Regulars, Bush and Schang form

and Selbold were relief workers. As the
game progressed Harry Davis selected Liz

BILLY KELLY, EASTERN LEAGUE
REFEREE, UNANIMOUS SELECTION
FOR JASPER-GREYSTOCK CONTEST
Governor and Mayors of This City, Camden, Read
ing and Trenton Also Are Invited Tome Ques
tion at Next Meeting in Trenton
BILTA KBU,Y, nn Eastern League offi
cial, was picked last evening to referee
the series for the basketball championship
to be played by Jasper and Greystock.
The subject had held up the games for
seeral days. Kelly will receive $1D a game
for his services,
Tho board of governors were of the
opinion that as the league had gone along
all season with the regular ofilclals they
failed to see the necessity of going out of
town to get a man to umpire, When It
was moved to hove an Eastern League
official In tho cage the vote was unanimous,
with tho exception of Camden, that club
not voting.
One member did not even see the neces
sity of going out of the city to play the
series, his .'onlentlon being that the
Academy of Music should have been hecured
and have dancing after the games. In
concluding tho details, It was decided to
Invite the Governor of Pennsylvania and
Mayors of Philadelphia, Camden, Reading
and Trenton to witness the games. Reserva
tions were also made for the local and .all
out-of-town newspapers.
After tho league had reached tho con
clusion as to who should officiate, the man
to be picked came next. Placing tho names
In a hat and picking one was advanced,
but somo one suggested Kelly and his selec
tion was made unanimous.
In tho disposal of tickets five were allotcd
to the mangers of the various teams.
Tho Tome Fine Unpaid
Morris Tomo has yet to pay his fine and
the subject will be continued at the next
meeting to he held In Trenton when the
league will bo the guests of B. C. Kuser
at a shad dinner.
At this meeting thero will be summoned
to give testimony: Tome, Kumsey,, the
scoreis, and President Scheffcr. The board
of governors will decide the case.
The president has fined Tome $50 for
striking a referee, according to tho by
laws, and if his decision is reversed a
deadly blow will be dealt basketball. Tome
was put out of the game for kicking the
official, observed by an armory full of
fans ; later he punched the referee and was
fined $50. How any board of governors
can rescind lhat fine Is a mystery.
If It Is, It means the official will ah.
solutely have no control over players, and
the men will be riding the referee all dur-

But I'd make good
11' ANY fighter has an nllbl.ln time of war
it will be Jess Wlllard. Standing in the
average trench, his head would be three or
four Inches ubovo the top, and those three
of four Inches might easily cmbraco at
least one vulnerable spot. In a chargp
ncrcss tho open Wlllard would ho a target
that even a blind gunner couldn't miss.
All that would be necessary would bo for
aforesaid gunner to blaze nway in tho Kan
san's general direction. If Wlllard could be
encabed In armor he would make a wonder
ful rampart for a company or a regiment
to use on defense. Hut to nsk him to offer
that Immense bulk known as his anatomy
as a target would be asking more than any
other citizen would have to give.
Resides, If It came to a showdown, Wll
lard could prove ofllclally that he was a cir
cus man, and not a fighter.
The Vet
If Hans Wagner drops out this season,
baseball's major league veteran will, be
Wahoo Sam Crawford.
The Tiger slugger started his big league
career with Cincinnati In 1899, a matter of
eighteen seasons ago. Last season he
dropppd below .300, but a mark of .286 is
far beyond tho average range.
Twin Possibilities
Wagner will quit he's through with play

"Red Sox prove that pitchers are most

Tigers, minus the pitchers, proved the samo
thing even more effectively.
For what doth It profit a ball club to
make five runs while its pitchers are letting
the other club make six?

FOOTBALL COMMITTEE
MAKES SHIFT IN RULES
NEW YORK, March 17. The football
rules committee today approved changes In
the forward-pass rule, voted against use of
an artificial tee In place-kicking nnd took
steps to eliminate coaching from tho side
lines
In tho case of Illegal Interference with a
forward pass, under the new rule tho ball
will be given to the offended side nt the
point where the foul Is committed instead
of being put back In play at the point where
the foul Is committed. To reduce side
lino coaching a new rule forbids n sub
stitute from communicating with fellow
players until the ball has been put Into
play.
Drastic changes toward elimination of
roughness were made. Chief of the changes
was provision for a fifteen-yard penalty
for one player roughing another, nnd a
penalty of five yards for tackling a man
about to kick.
