Teaching Japanese
To Play Football

Raymond G. Urch, a graduate Of
Michigan College, now teaching English
in Noboek Middle School. Noboek.
Miyazaki Ken, Japan, has plans now
under way to introduce football in ia
pan. How the game will be received
is. OF course. a question. but II the way
the Japs took to baseball can be taken
as a criterion, the great college sport
will soon be on a firm footing.
Urch recently wrote to some of his
friends who are still in college to obtain
for him a complete football outfit, and
forward il to him at once. knowing she
adaptability of the Japanese, Urch in
tends TO use the outfit merely as a pat
tern, and Il is possible that a new in
dustry may develop in Japan.
He broached the plan of trying out
football to the school authorities, and IT
met with almost instant approval. Con-
sidering their known quicknes and agii-
ity. the new game seems especially de-
vised for Japs, and 1t would not be at
all surprising before long to see team
from one of their colleges touring this
country in the same manner that some
of their baseball teams have done.

.bALENTI SPENDING
VACATION WITH HIS
WIFE IN ALASKA
Browns Sheftstop VIII Leave
Home Early, in Time to Re-
port for Training.

ST. LOUIS. Feb. 4.-When the winter
league fans, tired of talking over the
worlds series, the performances OF
stars of the past season and other
topics of the baseball world. can some
times find In the discussion of the
many ways in which the various dia-
mord satellites spend their winters.
1t would not appear at all out of
place IL il was announced that Mike
Balenti, who is a shortstop and who
was drafted by the Browns last fall
from Chattanooga, was spending the
summer with his small family and his
wife's relatives, But the peculiar sur
roundings of Balentfs vacation makes
it most interesting to the fans around
the stove.
Palenti, graduate of Carlisle Indian
School, is wintering with his wife's
family in Alaska. From all accounts
he is enjoying a thorough vacation of
outdoor sport, hunting, eshing, tramp
ing in Alaskan snow-drifts being the
pastimes open to Mike with his Indian
relations in the north. The vacation is
the most enjoyable he ever spent, ac-
cordinC to a recent communication.
In order to report on time for the
Browns training season, Balenti will
have to make an earlier start than the
rest of his teammates for the means of
transportation in Alaska during the
winter season are very slow.

Amateurs to Follow
Big League Styles

Should the legislation proposed bv the
rules committee appointed by the anna
teur baseball commission be adopted
by the arbitration board at its next
meeting. the sport in the District Will
be Hkened still further to the govern
ment of the national game in SO far as
it proposes to set up commission OF
three men empowered to take final
action in all cases OF amateur ball.
This was the idea Of the rules commit
tee which met last night at the offices
Of Clark Griffith to revise the playing
code and> constitution for the approval
Of the arbitration board composed Of
members Of the amateur commission
and the presidents Of the different
leagues.
This proposed change has grown out
Of lack of harmony within the com
mission as II existed last season. Petty
squa bibles frequently heard at meet
ings OF the commission, we're directly
the result Of league presidents pro-
tecting their own interests or trying
to further them.
The rules as now proposed will elimi-
nate the vote of presidents, but will
not do away with their voice absolutely.
Inc president, vice DI"SlueHt' anu Si'aS-
urer who would constitute the new
body. would be elected by them at the
beginning Of each playing year, and
would have. at any time, the right 10
submit testimony to the governing z
board Further than that they would
have no authority.
At first il was suggested that board
of five or seven men constitute the
commission, but after debating the
point and acting upon the advice Of
Manager Griffith. this number was de-
clared too many. The fewcr the MEM
bers there were TO transact business
the more effective and impartial would
be its uIEpositiCn.
Thee changes were suggested by $.
Edwi I'd Beach, president Of the CAPT
tai Cily League. who is chairman Of the
committee revising the present code.
Other members in attendance last night
were Clark Griffith. Robert Doyle, VIII
liam Belts, James Gray, Harry V.
Shurtleff. Charles King, and NJ. A.
Macdonald.

Emmitsburg Leader
Leaves Basketball! Team

EMMITSBURG. Md, Feb. 4-Mt. st.
Marys basketball squad will have a
hard proposition tonight In the Uni
versity OF pittsburgh. Last year the
locals managed to nose out victory,
being one OF the few games the West
eruers lost during the season.
The boys at the Mount have been
going along AT a pretty steady clip 50
far. and the speed and passing of the
entire team is exceptionally good. The
student body was rather surprised, after
the mid-term examinations to hear that
Captain Letter had resigned and left
college to go into business in Philadel-
phia with his father.
Letter was the star pitcher on Vine
nine last season.
