mick, a member of the Board of Truss

Explains Why College
Boys Are Weak with the Bd

Why is the average college baseball
star a weak hitter? This the ques-
ton 'propounded to Bobby Vaughn, the
clever Tiger sbortfielder, yesterday. by
the Stars wa correspondent. Bobby
must have had the same question popped
to him before, because he had an
answer right at his nnger-tips.
I'm the first place. said Bobby. whose
Alma Mater Is Princeton University,
"the average college player does not
get the right amount OF practise. Then
again you must take into consideration
that the average collegiate diamond star
is still in his teens and the average fell
low does not get all of his nerve until
ke is Il.
ut Isn't because the college pitchers
are hard to hit. l batted about 800 for
Princeton. They are not out there every
day, like we are hitting all kinds of
pitching they play today and rest per-
haps a week or ten days. a man has to
hit every day to get his stride"
Bobby himself is a living example of
his own theory. lie was regarded as a
weak sticker three years ago. Last
year he hit around .260, and this season
he is going even better. Vaughn makes
many of his hits in the pinches. He can
law down IA hunt with any man In the
league and is fast enough to beat out
many of them.

DOOM WILL NOT CROUCH
TO GIVE SIGNALS ANY WORE
Red Will Do Away 9th
Practise That Slows Up
Catchers.

PITTSBURGH, May 13.-Manager
Charles Doom has sprung a brand new
idea for catchers. as the result of his
recent troubles with his knees. lie has
discovered a new way to give signals.
In future the iery-haired leader OF the
Phillies will not bend down on his knees
to let his pitcher know what to pass
over the plate, but will stand upright
and work his fingers on his glove so
that the pitcher alone can see them.
Speaking OF his method. Doom says:
Il believe | can improve my game great
~ by adopting an entirely new method
of giving my pitchers signals, and one
that will be welcomed not only by all
b~ackstoppers, but by the fans them
selves.
There Is no reason why eatchers
should consume valuable time and run
the risk of internal injury by sticking to
the old antlquated system. At any rate,
| intend giving my system a thorough
trial. and believe the time is near when
other catchers will adopt It,"

OARSMEN CANCEL OLYMPIC
ENTRIES AND ARE ANGRY

! NEW YORK. May 13.-Therc will be no
American representation In the Olympic
rowing events. The fact was brought TO
light at the meeting of the Middle States
Regatta Association at the New York
Athletic Club that owing to dlssatisfac-
ton with the demands of the Olympic
committee oarsmen that had been asked
to compete abroad had cancelled their en-
tries.
On Wednesday last the Olympic com
mittee wrote two clubs which had COL
lected a necessary $500 for expenses, no.
tifying them that unless each sent $4,000
to the fund they would not be permitted
to row abroad.
