Si Would Have Extra Hour, Which Would Help Attendance at Game fpilU rase for savins originated nnd fostered by war conditions lun proved a tremendous success. Everybody is conservltiR food, scrlmplns on clothes, economizing on light nnd fuel, cutting down on smokes nnd'savlnc baseballs, and now tho scheme If to "hoove" daylight. Daylight has been thrown around too loosely. It has been slung about the landscape Just as though It wero money. A change had to come. Daylight has become valuable hcn nobody tcallzcd It, and the mlstnkc must be corrected tiv toon ns poiilblo or otherwise no nro liable to wake up some morning and And the Huns In San Tranclsco. Tho baseball folks are stirred over the possibility of the situation, and this Is no Josh stuff. Baseball ought to be a big winner, for the late after noon will slvo opportunity of making use of un extra hour that should result In giving more persons a chance to see tho pnmo than formerly Anything that helps catch the clerks nnd garden variety of olllce worker naturally Is for baseball, for It Is largely upon patronage from this class lhat the game survives nnd thrives. A man going to work an hour earlier I by the clock will get through an hour earlier by the clock than formerly, and If baseball starts an hour later (also by the clock), but the same time relatively. It Is Lound to attract persons who hne previously lacked oppor tunity of seeing he sport. Indications arc that there will be no olllcial uniform time for starting t fames, tho matter n be regulated bj the Individual club nuthoiitles. nan Johnson, however, is In faor of a uniform starting hour of 4 o'clock nnd, anyhow, Is pleased wl.h the prospects of the change. He states: "As I sec It, the n.'ded hour of elaj light under the new law will be n boon to baseball. Wo tin start our gnmes an hour later by the watch and still have plenty of layllght left to finish. Ily beginning play at I o'clock this season wo wiV be following the old stjle, as far as the sun Is concerned. I will take up the matter with our league". It seems to me certainty, however, that instead of leaving It to the opinion of the Individual club owners, tho league will ote to start nil games at 4 o'clock." IT IS said that New Yoik and Brooklyn clubs lll.el "ill start at 4:30 nnd that u great stimulus should be given attendance, as tho change would help both as to local population and the largo transient horde. Would Change Rule Regarding Foul Shooting - THIS game of basketball has enJoed such n prosperous season this jear among the colleges and the army camps that many suggestions hac already been made to Improve the rules of pluv The winter basketball easily took Its pluco ns tho most prominent of the .minor sports and was played more extensively than ever before. Among the rules which will probably be changed Is the one relating to noals thrown after fouls. Tom Thorp, who has been an official at many of the college games this season, advocates a change which would provide that tho try at goal be made by the player on whom the foul Is called. This would do away with the skilled player throwing all the foul goals. The Syracuse-l'enn game last week offered a case whe:o tho tossing of tho foul goals shows what an advantage Is had in the possession of a special star In basket heaving. All the foul shooting for Pennsylvania was done by Sweeney, who Is' unusually clever at tho task. Virtually an t eqfjnl number of fouls wero called on both teams, but Syracuse failed to 'ccSno throngh. Syracuse got more field goals than I'enn. but lost tho game. Thorp, as a remedy, advocates that a foul be shot by the player upon whom the foul was committed. This would do away with the developing of star shooter nnd give every player a chance from the foul line, thus making It a team affair rather than making the game hinge on one player, as was the case in the Syracuse-Pcnn game. rpHB situation corresponds to thafwlileh caused n change in the value of a field goal In football, In order to discount the scoring ability of one highly skilled plnver In that particular line. Heine the Zim Already Is Rampanting IF PftKSSKD for a decision us to the baseball person most to be em led the coming season, "our" conclusion would not rest upon the gentle personality of Heino the Zim. Heine Is out for a good time all over tho country as a result of his world-famous bono when he gave Eddie Collins a terrific chase across tho plate with a world series championship. The bleachers and btands will pan him, the press will have a lively source of special nnd Josh comment, and when Heine reaches Chicago tho anvil chorus will be heard all the way to tho Battery. In Chicago, where he for merly worked, Heine is as popular as HIndcnburg In London or Parb. Zim has not even waited for the season to begin to get Into action In his original special role of rough-house starter. Already he has thrown his bat over the fence at Marlln and chewed the rag with the umps. II Js going to get warmed up for tho fray and evidently does not intend to ' be subdued by the tumult, but to put on a little more steam and cow the rude Joshers by a counter-attack. Here Is a sample of what Heine raav expect this jear. It Is fmm the pottle quill of F. C. Davis, of the St. .Louis Post-Dispatch: tiivy ao wild ovnn mi: Sung by Heine Zim I never shall torgcl the time m I chucked a game away; They kid mc to this day About that famous play.

I don't know what it is that they can 4cv When they talk about that game At the mention of my name They go iclld, simply wild, over mc. THAT Heine Is going good Is Indicated" further than that he Is getting a flying, start on the crabbing stuff. He hit a couple , of home .runs In the bout In which ho pulled his opening rough , business of the year. Wrestling Hardly a Parlor Pastime WRESTLING is one of the morf or less vigorous sports, and while the game Is played Indoors It could hardly be appropriately termed a parlor pastime. Little Is barred In the game. Hammerlocks, scissors , holds, half-nelsona nnd now tho headlock are permitted, and about tho only Instruments of torture ruled out are tho blackjack, the lead pipe and Uie. poison gas. It has become, apparently, a game not so much of skill nd strength as of capacity to absorb punishment. ''Bulling" seems to be the real test. Frank Gotch's big card was to taoake the golnff so rough the opposition would develop a yellow streak. And In nearly everj match today the man who can do the best rough work vA hold his nerve Is tho winner. Tho foreign mat talent appears less hie to stand the gaff than the home product, which accounts perhaps for the good showing made recently by natives against the Imported article. '',ji the last three bouts in which the great Zbyszko has gone to the mat with j Americans he has failed to get a decision. Caddock took his measure, " Stecher won a moral decision In a draw, while Strangler Les so vexed the powerful Pole that he lost his head and the bout also. Butting Is bad firm In an Indoor pastime, but Is not any worse form of torture than the deadlock, perhaps. ""? Unless eome sane regulation of wrestling is provided the fame is bound '' get a setback, and a rude one. Being the easiest sport to fake, it Is more Mian ordinarily neceecarj that It be safeguarded, and though the wrestling ffH (a amiable, he is io going 10 do Dunxea an tne time. The game must ofeanged from a painsracxing ana maiming anair, and the sooner the tr. And It has been overpromoted like prize-fighting, and there always flareback to excessive stimulation or any sport ror commercial purposes.

STAGED COMEBACK OF MAMAUX WILL BE EAGERLY WATCHED Flashy Kid, Touted as Second Mathewson, Away From In-Bad Home Conditions, May Prove Whirlwind Again UN US tach USUAL interest this season at- hes to the comeback brigade. On account of war conditions and the In creased demand for players some notable performances likely will develop among former Mars, either retired or eclipsed, on account of managerial troubles. The case of AI Mamaux, the young Pittsburgh twlrlcr. who has been under a managerial cloucr; offers one of the most Interesting cases In point. Mamaux was the grand newcomer Into the right hander boxman business for his first two years as a Tlrate regular. During 1315 and 1910 he won twenty-one games each year and with discouraging sup perl He was tho new Christy Mathew. son, as anybody could tell. But Ma maux had many disadvantages and weaknesses. Ills father was a man of means and the lad had not been reared to be managed. He was playing In his home town, which always Is hard on a youth with a temper or temperament., whichever the case may be. He was positive and when he got crossed with the management he was crossed for keeps. Ills admirers believe he will stage a wonder comeback with the Dodgers and the Brooklyn management also does, and as he has the ability it Is up to him on a straight chance. Is Working Hard What encourages the'Dqdger manage ment particularly Is that the young twlrler has gone to work In earnest In the training camp. He Is receiving the special care of Wllbert Robinson, whose specialty as a battery coach and coaxer ought to work well In bringing the flashy one back to taw, Mamaux will have an Ideal record to come back on, for he won only two games last season. He couldn't do any worse, and .hat's some consolation. lit the eleven games he lost his opponents scored an average of more than six runs per game. , Manager and Coach Hobble reviews th 'situation tb I - CS.i v $nH,l ""' fj rure that the element of discord finds an fairly treated by President Baker nnd entry into n team thM lm been newly no matter what' Is done for them they noiganlzed, ai the Athletics an- im-i always hold out for a week or two spring' i ach spring They did tbe same thing I he disposition to sink Individuality and woik for thu general good of the team has been conspicuously manifest from the start.
