South atlantic Championships to Be Decided in

BY WILLIAM PEET.

The South Atlantic division OF the
Amateur Athletic Union, of which Dr.
D. E. Wiber. of this city is president.
is planning a distinct innovation this
winter in the shape Of holding cham
pionship indoor events, governed by A.
A. L. officials, for special prizes offered
by this organization
According TO present plans, these
championship events will be equally d.

l40-yards, two-miIe, and 100-yard hurdle
events will be split up between George

The idea originated with DR.. Wiber. and
after several consultations with other
South Atlantic officials and President
Sullivan. It was finally decided to hold
these indoor championships annually. The
events apportioned TO the, various WASH
inston and Baltimore meets Will not be
announced for several days, as Chairman
Theodore Strauss. OF the championship
committee. IS recovering from a delicate
surgical operation and not well enough
to look after his business affairs.
Dr. Wibers original plan was 20 hold
all ten Of the championship events in the
Fifth Regiment Armory, Baltimore. but
the idea had TO be abandoned. as the big
drill hall could not be rented on account

New York, Jan. 1S.-When President
Thomas J. Lynch. of the National
League. suggests a plan 10 the joint rule
makers at Pittsburg next week TO sup
press kicking and boisterOus behavior by
players on the benches. he VIII receive
the Endorsement of both major organlza-
tons, It is believed. Mr.. Lynch. after in
vestieating matters, said the other day
that the umpires' troubles were chiefly
caused by substitutes on the benches
who did not come under the rules pro-
hlbiting kicking on the ball field He
has drafted a new rule 10 stop this evil
and he is anxious to have the National
ana American leagues adopt it before the
next season opens. President Frank j..
Farrell. of the New York Americans, said
to-day that Mr.. Lynch had hit the nail
on the head
President Lynch has made move IN
the proper direction" said Mr.. Farrell.
He is absolutely right in his contention
that the regular players and substitutes
while on the bench cause much trouble
BY hurting uncomplimentary remarks at
the umpire. calling balls and strikes
when his back is turned. There Is no
specific rule preventing substitutes from
shouting al the umpires from the
benches, and have noticed on many oc-
casions that umpires have been ratified
by this practice. il is anything but sports
manHke and l believe that if President
Lynch has a rule TO prevent the evil, the
American League will promptly adopt it.
as President Johnson is q stickler for
clean baseball at all times.
Personally. do not believe in kicking
at all. II does no good and simply riles
spectators, az the same time angering
the umpires so that they perhaps become
pretudiced because Of the abuse they are
compelled to withstand. Umpiring is
hard and thankiess job, yet there are
some very competent judges Of play.
believe the rules should b. strictly en-
forced and rowdies should be severely
dealt with. Disorderly conduct on the
ball field does not win games"
While on the subject OF bench kicking
It has been suggested that President
Lynch may iBclude in his new rule a
clause compelling a player, banished
house instead of stepping through q
door behind the bench into a closet from
which he can keep IN close touch with
his team mates. Several managers have
conveniently located closets near the
benches, where they can retire and yet
keep control OF their players by means
Of apertuTes in the partitions. President
Lynch has received several pointers re-
gardirg this practice from his umpires.
and may take it up at the rules commit
tee meeting
The major league players will sign
new form Of contract after this which
will tie them up TO their employers for
twelve months in the year.
The new contract prohibits the players
from taking part In any form OF indoor OF
outdoor sport without the written con-
sent of the club owner. It is also pro-
vided that # a player is suTfeited. he
shall forfeit his salary for the time he

&C. II. Ebbets, Of the Brooklyn club, and
Barney Dreyfuss. OF the Pittsburg club,
over the 16S-game schedule. which the
National League voted to adopt last
month. became decidedly interesting to-
day. Ebbets and Dreyfuss are members
Of the schedule committee.
The former submitted a tentative SEIZED
ule OF l6S games 70 Dreyfuss a week ago.
and the latter promptly picked it 10
pieces in the newspapers. though he did
not communicate with Ebbets by mail
incidentally, Dreyfuss says a I54-game
schedule was the better arrangement, be-
cause IL did not postpone the playing Of
the worlds series until after October G.
The bitterness that was shown during the
recent Ward-Heydler controversy has re-
appeared in the present wTangle. Eb-
bets gave out a long statement to-day,
saying In par:
Barney Dreyfuss ought 70 resign from
the schedule committee OF the National

believe he is-he would get of immedi-
ately, and l would ask President Lynch
TO appoint Stanley Robson. OF St Louis
