PLAN TO

E. L. Martin Wants Sandlot
Baseball Under Play
grounds.
YOUNG APPROVES MOVE
President of Local Association in
Favor Of Movenent-Meet-
ing viii Be Held.
YOUNG APPROVES MOVE
BY JOHN A. DUGAx.

A plan has been proposed. whereby the
Association OF Amateur Baseball Clubs of
the District can be put on a sound basis
financed and helped in many ways.
E. L. Martin. head Of the department Of
recreation, is sponsor for the new move
ment. which will assist amateur base
ball in many ways and make every league
in the District able to go through the
season without hitch of any kind.
Here is the plan:
To put the amateur association under
the department. OF recreation-that is, to
make the amateur ball clubs members
Of the Fairgrounds Association. In this
way the ball players will receive the
same benefits as the school children
II will give them the use Of the play
ground, ball, and other paraphernaHa,
and will also put the officials in a posi-
ton to command attention.
The umpires viii be appointed BY the
board and will be controlled by the de-
partment Of recreation. They will be
paid uniform salary and will be made
special officers. Then they will be shift
ed from week TO week. They also will
be paid by the department and not by
the leagues In this way the leagues
will have no expenses other than the
fitting up Of the grounds.
That this plan is good one goes with
out saying. Mr.. Martin has had several
conferences with President Robert H
Young. OF the Amateur Association, and
the change, IL possible, viii be effected
in the near future.
A meeting Of the association will be
held In the near future and plans will
be made whereby this change can be
made. While nothing ofiicial has been
done in the matter, Mr. Martin is con-
fident that everything will go through
with ease.
Mr.. Martin is an ardent admirer of
amateur baseball. He mas played ANA
teur baseball himself and will dc his
utmost TO make the sandlot baseball
of the District the best In the country.
This proposed change is the biggest
thing that has happened to amateur
baseball Should this plan prove feas-
ible. and there Is every likelihood that 1t
will, the leagues will have no expense,
the umpires viii not be governed by
any circuit, and everything will be ham
died by the board OF governors In this
way absolute harmony is sure 10 reign

WOULDN'T BET
ON COLLEGIAN
Hickey Explains Why School
Players Are Usually Un-
certain Stars.
THE HITTING TOO WEAK
Browns Manager Cites Case Of LAWN
as Example and Has the
Right Dope.
THE HITTING TOO WEAI

Cleveland, Ohio Nov. Fl never saw
man playing collegiate baseball on
whose chances to make good in the big
league would bet a cent"
That is what was said by Branch
Hickey. now manager of the Browns,
one day during the summer. Hickey has
coached college baseball teams for sew
eral years and has been instrumental in
several youngsters breaking into fast
company. Consequently such a statement
coming from him is rather surprising.
Hickey went on to explain himself as
follows: by watching a college player,
you can arrive at a clear idea Of how he
can field and how he can run the bases.
You can ind out the percentage Of ivory
he possesses. But whether he can hit In
fast company keeps you guessing. You
see IL is this way: College baseball sched-
ules consist of about twenty or thirty
games, One team rarely plays one rival
more than twice in a season. Now take
LAWN of the 1872 Michigan team as an
example. He batted like a veritable
Eddie Collins while at Michigan, but
could not truthfully say he could bat
strongly as a professional
During his college career, LAWN prob
ably never batted against any one pitcher
in more than two games. Consequently,
IL he had a weakness, none Of the pitch
ers had a chance to discover II. II is
different In professional company. A
coIleEian might break In and bat 500
his first few weeks Then. the word
would be passed around that this recruit
could not hit a curve, or possibly that
he was weak on a fast one close in.
a
the word around. The result Is that Mr..
Recruit goes back TO the minors to try
to overcome his batting weakness
THAT IS why when a college coach
would refuse to discuss college players
batting ability. although 1 might tout
him to the skies in other departments Of
the game"

I do not care to talk much about 1t at
this time. All that i know is what have

years couldn't have been so bad when

Mr. Lynch said that he might have
something to say, about the matter after
he had heard something definite from the
