COLLEGE ATHLETIC RULES.
Several Needed Amendments Made
at New York Meeting.

NEW YORK. March S.-Seyeral needed
amendments were made to the college
athletic rules at the annual meeting of
the intercollegiate Athletic Association In
this city. the most important being In the
hammcr-throwing and hurdle racing. It
was proposed to increase, the weight OF
the hammer head to twerty-one pounds
and reduce the handie1ength to- three
feet, but that part of the amendment to
the rules was dropped. to be taken up
again next year. Safety for spectators
and contestants was. however, provided
for by ordinary throws to be made from
a cage around the throwing circle. ten
feet distant. with an opening for the
flight of the hammer. .Sand. all throws out
side OF sector of % degrees to be.'de-
c,ared fouls. There Is a strong minority
I'm the association IN favor of the COM
p,ete abolition OF All weight contests. on
the ground that Only tie heaviest and
strongest men I'm the colleges can take
part in them. aud that. compared with
other field and the track sports, the
number OF competitors IL so small that

such contests At the. .chappionships.

BY BILLY EVANS. !.

Z & Don't you feel ashamed. to. take the
money!" remarked a well meaning fan
one day last summer as walled off the
ball, field toward my dressing. room. To
tell the truth. my work did seem. pretty
easy money that afternoon. Walter john
son and Joe Wood had been the opposing
pitchers. Both twirlers performed ad-
mirably, there being mighty little hitting
during the game. and few men on the
bases, consequently very little work for
the field umpire. ] don't believe I. had
a single decision during the afternoon
that even bordered OH being close.
.'It did look awful soft today.".l re-
piled, but you ought to see me Cutting pp
some afternoons when the going is tough.
Some days a couple Of hours on the
field seem more like a year, but. YOU only
agreed with me and bade me. goodbye
and good luck as l stepped inside my
dressing room. =
Some fans have mistaken opinion OF
the average umpire. He. Is human. al
reports to the contrary. Every Fellow
who liz successful Is conscientious 70 81
most a faii.t Such being the case, TIE
umpire who at the close OF the game is
being jeered for decisions which the, Ians
believe have cost the game y not .ss hns
feelings are all the worse. II. ne. Gctuaiiyy

so harshly While regretting the mistaAe'
he realizes the criticism Is deserved.
Prominent Part in Results.
IT is really strange the important part
the decisions of the umpire play In the
outcome OF every game: OFTEN the re-
suit OF the game hinges on the calling OF
ball or strike. Time and time again the
rendering OF a base decision one way re-
suits in four or Ave runs, white the op-
posite ruling would have retired the side
runless. Considering what the unpires
are constantly up against, II is surprising 8
that more mistakes are not made by the
judges Of play. -
The average umpire regards himself as
the 'unluckiest OF all the ,arbitfators. II
Is an easy matter for him to show you
where he. is getting all the worst of the
schedule, where all the hard jumps are
coming his way, where he hasn't been
able to get home for couple OF months,
and a Thousand and one other minor mat
fers. In which he. iss being shaded all the
time. incidentally he will tell you that
luck Is constantly, breaking against him.
Any time he happens, to boot decision
that would havesretired the side the next
batter is sure to- hit safely. every now
and then cleaning up with triple or
home run. Such breaks usually decide
the game. -
Worlds series games are just like other
games as far as the playing. the only
difference being, the stakes. Just what q
big thing the calling of ball or strike
may mean was well illustrated to me IN

Some; days umpiriug does look like
the easiest proposition in the world, but
If you had to go through campaign of
1I games each summer You would soon
reach the decision that such games were
few and far between. When the crowd
gets on your. back because of the very
drst decision IN the very first inning, and
keep 1t up throughout the game, you are
simply making up and adding a little bit
more to boot for those soft sessions.
