M'GRATH ALMOST CERTAIN
TO WIN IN OLYMPIC GAMES
GIANT POLICEMAN BELIEVED
HAS NO EQUAL AT SHOT PUT.
Flanagan and Walsh Appear to be
Most Dangerous Rivals.

New York. Dee. 6.-There is one
event that America is sure Of winning
at the Olympic games next summer,
and that is the hammer throw. Who is
going to beat Mat McGrath, the giant
policeman, who hurled the 1G-pound
missile To a new worlds mark at Gel
tic park? There's just one man on
earth who has a ghost OF a chance. ana
lie is John J. Flanagan who. at the
present time, is in Ireland tining the
soil. Flanagan, If he competes in the
Olympic meet, must represent Amerl
ca. and there is hardly a chance that
genial John will return here in time
70 try out for the American team.
Con Walsh Of Ireland Canada, and.
once in a while. the n. Y. a. c. and
other clubs who competed for Great
Britain at the London Olympiad and
thereby got himself "in Dutch" with
all true sons Of the Emerald Isle. Is
granted by some chance to beat Nc
lGrath next summer Walsh Will have
TO go back to the British Isle or Can
ada TO reside I'm order to be eligible for
the English team next summer but.
judging from performances. q nop like
that will not bother Con i'm the least.
Ineligiblity will bar out probably
the most dangerous rival that McGrath
will have in the Olympic hammer
tossing event next summer in the per-
son Of Paddy RYAN Of the Irish Amer
lean A. c. who has done over 10
feet repeatedly in competition this
summer Ryan is coming fast. Several
times ne has thrown the iron bah in
practice more than 1S0 feet and 1t
Seems TO be only a question OF time
before he will settle down to the same
salt that McGrath has hit of late. Tn
fortunately Ryan cannot compete for
the United States in the Olympic do
ings next July because he will not be
q citizen by that time.

WOULD BAR PITCHER
FROM COACHING LINES.
Observation-Disclosures.


Evidently there must have been
something TO the rumors that Chief
BENDER tipped Off the signals TO his
teammates while. coaching on the
third base line. John McGraw. man
lger Of the Giants. is behind the
passing of a rule that forbids a pitch
er from coaching on the lines, and
at the coming meeting Of the joint
rules committee VIII ask that a rule
OF that sort be adopted
Remember, during the recent worlds
series Bender, when not i'm the pitch
or's box, was on the coaching line near
third base. II is said that his clever
eyes detected just what kind of a ball
the New York pitchers were about TO
deliver by the manner In which they
moved and held their hands. Then. it
is said, he had a motion by which he
tipped it Off 10 the batsmen. 1t was
Bender who discovered that every time
that Mathewson pitched his famous
fade away" he made a slight move
ment with his body. that If watched
could always be detected. 1t was also
Bender who detected the fact that
when Marquard delivered his straight
fast bail he would turn his head
away and let her go. That's how
Baker knew what was coming when
he drove the ball over the right field
fence In Philadelphia for homo run.
But remember that all pitchers have
not the same noodle that Bender has.

body, and more than most. is firmly
convinced that football as played now
needs rule changing, and he thinks
just two changes arc needed. 1t may
be that the changes he advocates will
be presented to the rules committee
when that body convenes in the win
ter.
Mind you, I'm not kicking because
Yale was beaten" continued Shevlin.
We've won games from Princeton
under the present rules and played a
better Harvard team to "a standstill.
SO we haven't had any the worst OF
it with the rules.
but I'm not strong for n game in
which the team on the offensive plays
the hazardous game takes all the
risks (the only error ON which a team
can score is one made by the other
side i'm possession of the balD and
can't set anywhere. I'd like TO see a
game in which there isn't so much
kicking on the second down and in
which the rules don't play your de-
Tense for you as they do now"
Shevlin's suggestions for changes
are these: First, keep the 100 yards
and have four downs instead Of three;
second, have the four backs on the de-
Tense 10 yards behind the scrimmage
line when the BAH is put i'm play.
Those are the only things needed" he
says.
