C0SSPER'S WEEKLY. SPORT ROUNDUP
English Lawn Tennis Association Comes Forward With
Suggestions For Changing Davis Cup Playing Rules.
Other international Competitions to be Added.

New York, Dec. Gas if to atone
for it's oversight in permitting the for
nation OF the international lawn ten
mis- federation to be undertaken by
continental authorities. the English
lawn tennis association is now coming
to the fore: with numerous SUCCESS
tions. for changes. in the Davis. cup
and general tennis playing rules. The
English lawn. tennis association pro-
poses to submit. at the international
lawn tennis. federation meeting in
March a new service regulation which
is at wide divergence with the pres
ent code: T~he:radical departure from
the existing rule can be perceived
when it is understood that ii the new
regulation is adopted 1t will. be neces-
sary for the server to replace the foot
raised from the ground in service, be-
hind the base line before stepping in
to the court instead of swinging into
the court with the raised foot Once
siblc under the existing code. This
change would have the one faction
slowing up q player who followed his
service with q rush for the net and
since a large proportion Of English
players advocate the deep court game
it would be less detrimental to the
English game than to that of almost
any other country where tennis has
reached high class status.
A number of changes in the. rules
governing the Davis cup play are also
put forward as desirable although
England lost the international tennis
trophy last July when the United
States team defeated the cup defend
ers. three matches out Of five. The
English lawn tennis association would

done. and Manager Higgins did 1t.
During the final year Of Roger

Miller Higgins was In a peculiar
position. He had to get rid Of the
veterans IL he were to get any decen,
service out Of the youngsters. The
team must be shaken to the founda.

around to rock the structure he did
It well. In one swoop he broke ur
the combine of veterans, which had

TO CUT Down THE
SACRIFICE HITS
Manager Doom of Philadel-
phia Nationals Thinks it
Can be Overworked.

Philadelphia. Dec. >22.-Although
n Phillies made more sacrifice hits
last a than any other club i'll the
National league. Manager DOOM has
become convinced that such a play
can be overworked. If Charlie can
get II or two men specdicr than he
had last season the chances are that
he will cut down on his orders to sac
rifice next year.
Doom says:
The sacrifice hit player. in my
opinion. should not be worked Very
often. Here is the way ] figure it nut:
I'VE get a man on first base with
no n put. The next man sacrifices
and puts the runner on second. Then
the next man a to hit it safe. If he
doesn't You have wasted two Of your
men and it is up to the last chance Of
the inning. In each case after the
sacrifice is made and the man is adj
vanced the percentage Is against the
batsman by one chance in three. Even
with two outs left you have only two
chances gu of three to drive in the
run.
"On the other hand. with a runner
on first and no one out, on the run.
and-hit. a fast man can very often get
from first to third on an infield out at
first base. In that case you have ad-
vanced. our man to third base instead
of to second, and YOU still have only
one out. !.
Should the unner get only as far
as second base you arc Just as we'll
off as if the batsinan sacrificed. On
the other hand the batslnan may hit
safe and you have the other fellow in
a hole with no one out. OF course
there is the danger Of Il double play

Billy EVANS DID NOT
BENCH SINGLE PLAYER
DURING WHOLE SEASON

Billy Evans is some umpire. OF
course you have known that for some
time past but we II just trying to
stamp 1t on your memory indelibly
and for all time. Billy is just about
the best umpire that ever wore spiked
shoes, and that goes for the Alneri-
can, National and any and all other
leagues.
OF course Evans makes mistakes.
Hes not infallible by any al But
when Billy makes an error of judg-
men he seldom Is held up to ridicuie
by players, for they have come to
know Evan and realize that there Is
no intention on his part to favor either
team. They know full we'll that he
gives each and every play as he sees
it. Billy had several run-ins with
managers during the past season. He
recommended the suspension of sew
eral Of them, including Clark Griffith
of the Nationals, who "a set down
for a longer period than any other
manager during the past season.
But not a single player was chased
by Billy during the entire 1913 cam
paign. Not that Evans didn't miss
calling a play as the player saw 1t,
or even several d. a dozen for that
matter, but Billy actually got by with
out benching a single player. That's
ia record almost without parallel in
the major leagues and II of which
Evans can feel justly proud.
The fact that Billy didn't have to
use his power to jerk his thumb to-
wards the bench or club house and
have a player tangoing thither brings
to mind that he was going along
swimmingly a few years back without
having had any trouble to speak of
when all of "a sudden he ran into a
bunch of alterations that made him
realize that umpiring was anything
but a path of roses. Starting with Ty
Cobb at Detroit Evans was called up
on to bench no fewer than seven
players In as many days. That's prob
ably another record without parallel.
