MAY Change !
TRACK RULES,

NEW YORk.4There have been
number of recommendations made to
the intercollegiate association of anna
teur athletes of America lately to re-
volutionize college track athletics in
several events. One question that has
elected considerable discussion Is the
way a runner should finish a race
that is, whether the man who ffnisheyl
shall breast the tape. Another pOin9
centers about the idea of having fixed
hurdles, while the third proposed
change involves the rule for the ham
.mer throw event in intercollegiate
meets.
One man who is opposed to these
changes is Johnny Mack, track coach
OF Yale. Mack declares the use OF
fixed hurdles Is impractical, anG tho
hammer throw should stay the same.
but says the runner should breast the
tape when he finishes a race. Speak
ing about the changes which viii come
up shortly for discussion before the
intercollegiate authorities, Mack
argues as follows:
IN regard to having fixed hurdles.
! certainly do not believe in them. At
the HllcICOiicStdtc HfCStS dt EcHubyi-
yania or in the Harvard stadium the
hurdle races and sprints are run on
the same stretch and this makes the
use of fixed hurdles practically an Inn
possibility. In England, where the
fixed hurdle is used, the races are
run on the grass. The custom OF US
ing the fixed hHrdle originated there,
where at some rural meets the only
hurdle that could be obtained was the
ordinary sheep hurdle, which was
driven into the turf.
II believe in using the regulation
Yale hurdles. which are used here and
at the New York Athletic club at Ira
vers island. These are the regulation
fence hurdles and are very heavy. -
man who knocks down those will nd
go far. If they should adopt thfs
hurdle at the intercolle giate meet no
rule about knocking them down would
be necessary

INTERNATIONAL DIAMOND BATTLE
DESCRIBED BY SEATTLE VISITOR

here. for the catcher has a right to
bite it off; so he carefully folds his
arms across his back, allowing each
hand to rest lovingly on the opposite
shoulder. When strike is called he
shoots his right hand upwards, like
King Philip defying the whites in Co
lonial days, and vice versa with the
left when a ball is called. Only one
change is allowed the umpire. When
he is about to call strike or ball. when
the call stands two strikes and three
balls, he is allowed policeman of his
own race armed with short sword
before he is obliged to decide. One
umpire in a close game some years
2go never decided He had to leave
the islands and now lives in the shad-
CIV of the great volcano.
| Well. game was finally called and
the slaughter commenced. The Chi
nese looked the Portuguese pitcher
over and sneered. | know now why
they sneered. They sneered because
they were angry at him for making
them run around the bases so often.
The Chinese won the game by the
score of IA to }. If the daylight had
lasted longer they would have won the
same by score of 100 to }. but the
Chinese merchants. who do most OF
their business on Sunday afternoon,
demanded they quit making any more
runs as it hurt business. r..
while the Portuguese were punish
ing the Chinese by making them hit
the ball and sting their hands the
v hite crowd groaned and groaned and
the yellOws ckeered and cheered and
cheered. If there is ever war in these
islands it will start at a tal game. I"
"A few tourists from the coast start
ed to root. but the Chinese accepted
their def with anger and screeched
their defiance, as did the Japs. and
fha Filipinos, and the Coreans. etc, ad
nauseateupup." ..... -. 49,. +

the signs OF the suggested plan OF
the establishment of a league of all
regimental and post teams as good
as they are, the absence OF the eaval-
ry from the lineup will be regretted
by ali the organizations here. The
First infantry. the Twenty-fifth infan-
try, the battalion of field artillery
here-all have teams considerably al.
vanced in training and the artillery
team of the coast artillery garrison
is at work with three officers trying
for the team,
No organization can be said to have
begun real training until certain play
ers have been chosen TO become ac-
customed TO playing together, even
though the choice is only a temporary
one.
At a most conservative estimate
there are probably today in the regi-
ment two dozen men who have al
some time or other played ON squadl
ron or post teams and are available
for a temporary lineup. Add to these
TIE men who have shown class in the
present troop series. give these -

ers plenty OF baseball of kind but
the men who show any promise are
playing with any and all kinds OF
teammates and only with the men OF
their own troop; whereas, II they We're
devoting part of their time to playing
with the men who are really good

prove, the regimental team would be

There seems to be no good reason

mission at the parks, the clubs will
have a hard time to weather the sea

A few weeks ago Ole Hansen Of

The Cornell meet of last Saturday
marked the end of athletics at Puma
hou for this term. Athletics have
watched the time fly past with regret
for the term has been a splendid one
as far as athletics are concerned. Next
week begins new series of contests,
intellectual contests. The term eX-
aminations impart a fear into the
hearts of even the huskiest athletes
who a week ago were tearing up the
cinders or breaking records Of some
kind. But through this cloud of
gloom the PuGahou athletes perceive
a light which overcomes the darkness
of the examinations; baseball begins
next term! .. ..-...

Baseball teams. Teams that have

the great football teams that won the

leads them on to new victories.

greater honors on the diamond and

The announcement in Yesterdays
Star-Bulletin that Saturday baseball
was 10 be revived in Honolulu, and
that the games arranged would be
quite as classy as those played on
Sunday. has been the source OF lot
Of favorable comment among the
fans. There are any number OF
patrons Of the national game VINO 90
not care TO spend their Sunday after
Moons at Athletic Park. They pre-
fer all-day excursions out Of the city,
or want to stay at home with their
families, and for some time past they
have been cheated out OF their fair
share of baseball. Now il looks as
though they would have their in
nings. 49,.
The recently organized st. Louis
team is the one that has taken the
initiative, the players agreeing TO
turn out for Saturday games, the first
OF which will be against the Twenty
fifth Infantry team next Saturday.
Pat Gleason finds himself too busy
to look after the interests of the team,
and Sonny" Macfarlane has been APP
pointed manager, with bill" Hamp-
ton a hard worker toward getting the
players together and perfecting the
team organization. s.
The plans of the Oahu League seem
to be somewhat indefinite, and what
effect the organization of the picked
ST. Louis team will have on the circuit
of last year, remains to be settled
when the league managers get to-
gether However, irrespective OF
whether the st. Louis players go back
to their respective clubs, or enter the
league as a new team, the matter Of
Saturday baseball can be continued
Some moths ago it was suggested IN
these columns that instead of SEIZED
uling tiresome double-headers for
every Sunday afternoon, the Oahu
League split its games between Sat
urday and Sunday, playing one game
On each afternoon. This would give
the Saturday fans a chance, besides
giving the Sunday fans rest. a
double dose of mediocre baseball is
about the most boresome proposition
imaginable, and toward the end OF
last season the general public became
heartily sick of seeing the same old
teams in the same old way for mat
ter of three hours on end. "
Let's have Saturday ball by all
portion cut in halves and Saturday
portion cut in half, and Saturday
made part of the league schedule
