    SPORTS—WEST END TOSSERS MOVE INTO THIRD PUCE IN CITY LEAGUE RACE
WEST END LANDS
IN THIRD PLACE
J
Victory Over Methodist Club
Breaks Tie in Cily League;
Arrows Win
The West End Athletic Club tossers
triumphed over the Methodist Club
five last night, in a City Amateur
league game, and thereby broke the
tie between the two teams for third
position. The final score read 53_to 17.
Tho contest was staged on the Tech
nical High School gymnasium floor and
followed a contest between the Y. M.
H. A. quintet and the P. R. R. Arrows.
The latter team was victorious by a
152 to 20 tally.
The scores of both games were
rather one-sided, but despite this fact
both were interesting. The West End
team started out to win right from
the start and when the first halt
ended, led by a 27 to 11 score. The
Methodist five played listlessly, and
lack of teamwork was a big factor In
its defeat.
The Hebrew lads did not stand a
chance with the P. R. R. Arrows, the
latter taking the lead early in the
game and retaining it throughout. Mike
Yoder played his first contest with the
Arrow team and was the sensation of
the evening. He scored 36 points sin
gle-handed, throwing 15 two-pointers
and six fouls. The summaries:

HOUR LIMIT FOR

[Continued lYoui First Pago]
hour of debate instead of unlimited
time, by each Senator, even after adop
tion by two-jhlrds of Senators present,
of a motion to bring debate to a close.
At both Republican and Democratic
Senate caucuses yesterday there were
indications that a rule to limit debate
would be approved.
PreNtdent Indignant
President Wilson emphasized In an
informal talk before the Democratic
national committee here yesterday his
indignation over the success of a few
senators in preventing passage of the
neutrality bill.
Secretary was called to the
White House to see the president just
before the departure of the Senators,
l ook For Action
Tho Senators agreed that the pros
pects were good for quick action. Sen
ator Owen said he desired a rule under
which the Senate rules could be
changed by a majority vote. All of the
senators agreed, however, they would
not haggle over details If a reasonable
cloture plan could be agreed upon.
The conference lasted an hour and
a half and all the details of the Senate
situation were gone over. The Presi
dent told the Senators ho was anxious
for action as promptly ns possible. He
said the country was deeply 'aroused
over the situation and that a few sena
tors should not be allowed to Interfere
with the welfare of the country.
Although Mr. Wilson has been ad
vised by some government expert* that
he has the authority to arm ships with
out watting for action by Congress,
others among his advisers believed It
would be the better policy to wait to
see whether the Senate will act.

The Fallen
For those who have fallen the living weep;
Are they not asleep?
They wait beyond where the shadows creep,
But their dreams are deep.
Since the way is short and the day Is brief,
Why should the world so waste Its grief
For those who have come to the end of the play
In the old, brave way?
"They have come to die!" you cry, agape
At the rolling drums.
What If they have? Will you escape
When the Hour comes?
If this widespread universe has been shy of one thing, that thing has been
service unattached to any thought of reward. Even a calamity which will Im
prove this situation cannot be entirely devoid of use.
Developing the 1 tatting Eye
Just how far is the Batting Eye a developed Institution? Can a weak bats
man ever be turned into a strong one through training? Is batting a natural
or a developed function?
Take the four leading batsmen of the present epoch. Their names are Cobb,
Speaker, Jackson and Collins.
These men all started in as regulars with the .300 glim. Which Is to say
that as regulars they started batting .300 from the jump, and have never
struck below that figure for any season.
The same was true of Wagner. He broke In batting .300, and he traveled
for seventeen years without slumping below this mark.
Cobb, his first year as a regular, batting .325. Last year he batted .371;
so he has advanced in his art.
Collins, his first year as a regular, batting .3 40. Last season ho fell away to
.308. Collins has only Improved his first year's mark twice in eight seasons.
Hans Wagner started out batting'.344. You can figure from this how much
development he needed.
Lajoie, in his first complete season, began with a mark of .363 as a kid. It
would be hard to say that he was developed in.to a good hitter.
liorn—Not Made
Most of the great hitters were born that way,' not made over, most of them
batting over .300 in the minors, and stepped into major league training with
the .300 mark still under control.
Tiie" answer is, they simply knew how to hit —the knack was there —and no
training was needed to bring them out of a rut. None of the great batsmen,
that we can recall, ever spent a year or two as weak hitters in the big league,
to be lifted by instruction and training into the altitudes of swat.
Hal Chase, Sherwood Alagee and Jake Daubert all broke in below .300, to
lead the league at later dates, but none of these could hardly bo classed as
batsmen with Cobb, Speaker, Lajoie, Wagner, Jackson and Collins. Frank
Baker batted .305 his first year out, and Baker is another of the natural en
tries, belonging to those with the knack.
Improvement In the Weak
Only upon rare occasions have batsmen who were poor hitters their first year
out ever improved lo any noteworthy extent. Big league managers have long
recognized this fact. They have turned back many a fielding star who was
fast and skilful around infield or outfield In the knowledge that weak batting
in the minor leagues generally means a lack of knack that can't be supplied.
Managers have taken poor fielders and turned them in first-class products.
But a man in the minors who can hit, unless he is abnormally slow, is always
a prize. And most of those —not all, but the majority—who can hit in the
minors can hit In the majors.
The Duffer to the Expert
You think of golf as a stretch of green
And the waiting pin,
Where it takes you 3 or 4 or 5
To reach the tin;
1 think of golf as traps and pits
Across the land;
Of a niblick beating, blow by blow,
Against the sand.
You curse your !uck when you get around
In an 83;
Vou couldn't putt and your work was punk
From off'n the tee;
But if 1 should gather a 91
Or a 92
Do I rant and rave and curse the luck?
You bet X do!
Time is still moving along. Of the SIOO,OOO fence-busting Athletic infield
of 1914 only one batted over .300 last year, and he barely managed to take the
hurdle in the last two weeks. ~
Tennis fires the first shot In the intersections.! program for 1917. The West,
, with Johnston and McLoughlin, has the advance edge, but, with George M.
i Church in the offing, the Eastern barrier is no light one. Church dropped
McL.oughlin last summer at Forest Hills, but beating the Native Son upon his
native heath is another rendezvous.
There are still countless tennis followers pulling for Red Mac's return to
the summit, but the odds against him now are almost hopeless. The terrific
amount of fuel he burned in 1914 will hardly be replaced.
