PITrsBURG. April SIT Is said that
Manager Fred Clarke Of the Pirates has
definitely decided to play Hunter at first

himself TO be a trifle better on thrown balls
than Flynn and a better base runner
Clarke believes that his new first sacker
has the necessary hating ability TO hold
the Job Of first cushion guardian. FLYNN

turn loose, and he can work as a catcher az

into his old position.
Clarke has many promising recruits. He
has realized for some time that he must
develop some new men and the Pirate

chance 70 stay with the bis show as a
substitute outfieder. MoKeChnie Corridor,
Mccarthy and Niehoff all have shown
ability as infieders. and probably two Of

There Il probably more curiosity, more
anxiety and more speculation wrapped uf,
in the pitching problem than In any other
single question which has confronted the
Piusburg base bail club in recent years.

NEW RULES FOR Wrestling

NEW YORK, April S-Important changes
have been made in the rules OF the Inter
collegiate Wrestling association with a view
OF making the bouts more interesting TO
the spectators by the encouragement OF the
tendency to try to gain decisions on points
rather than by gaining falls In the season

lesiates, the Wrestlers preferring to push
each other around the mat without going

ling. In the Cornell -Columbia meet alone
four Of the seven bouts had to be declared
draws because the men were not willing to
take chances. In the intercollegiates only
one or two OF the bouts were decided by
falls. The remedy which has been adopted
by the intercollegiate association Is to
award three points for a fan and two for
a decision on points for work done or for
aggressiveness. Under the old rule de-
oiAion on points counted as much as a
fall but under the new scheme the winner
OF each bout will receive two points for
the decision and II he pins his opponent

to the orient. The American invaders were
the University OF Washington team, which
toured Japan three or four years ago; Wis
consin in 1909 and Chicago last year, Chi
cago also visited the Philippine islands,
where they played a number OF Tames.
In 1903 the University Of Wisconsin team
was invited by the Kei-O university to Eo
to Japan and meet its team In series OF
games. The Badgers played nine games
while in the orient-four with Ke-O, two
with Toxic and three with Waseda. The
trip was not as successful from the stand
point Of games won and lost as II was
from the standpoint OF pure sportsman
ship. The Badgers won five games and
lost six. Waseda won but one OF the
series. Two of the Kei-O games went to
extra innings-one to nineteen and the
other to eleven. The trip the Maroons
made last year was more successful. The
trip the Americans made totalled 1900
miles and nineteen games were played.
But three games were lost The Maroons
played six championship games at Toxic
with waseda and Kei-O and won them
all. two being ten-inning contests. Wsseda
lost three exhibition games with Chicago
at Osaka In each game the Americans
won by a heavy score.
Learning How TO Bat.
Last year when Waseda met the Ameri-
can college team In Toxic those who wit
messed the contests at once saw the rea-
son for the defeat OF the japanese. AS
batsmen the Americans were far superior.
The foreigners are not natural ball players
and are timid at the bat They all pull
away at the plate. This is being overcome
by the Waseda men, who have been taught
how to bat and field by Arthur Shafer
who is under reserve to play this year
with the Giants shafer recently went to
Japan TO drill the waseda players for their
trip to America.
The Japanese college players are also
handicapped by the fact that they have not
erly. Some of the twirlers have wide and
raised curves, but they have no speed be-
hind them The box men also have much
to learn in handling the ball when men
are on bases. As base runners the Japa-
nese players are fast and cunning. Fault
can be found with the catchers, who have
a tendency to stick their mitt out to meet
the ball instead OF waiting for it; in other
words they flight the ball" The men are
fast in the field and are fairly good field
ers, but they have much to learn. ShafeI
has endeavored to teach them the Tins
and outs of big leagues, so that when
they come here the members OF the Waseda
team will be able to appear to advantage
against the pick OF the American college
teams
