NEW TRACK RULES
ARE UNNECESSARY
intercollegiate Association of Amateur
Athletics Has Planned Many New
Changes,

The Intercollegiate Association of
Amateur Athletics of America has
planned a long string of new rules
and amendments to the constitution,
which went into effect this month. 1t
would appear that in a majority of
these rules the college men are drift
ing toward too much detail, especially
in the regulation Of competition.
In all contests where man opposes
man in harmless tests of ability, the
less restrictions introduced the better
for the spirit and sentiment Of the
sport and the comfort Of the men en-
gagged.
A glazing instance of this is that of
the annual contests Of track and field
between the Universities of Oxford and
Cambridge. They have no set rules, no
restrictions, no. bylaws, only that
which prevails in civilian life; yet it
is a remarkable fact that they have
never had the slightest difference
about any of the contests in the long
years of their inter-varsity meets.
In the field department. the proposed
amendments are striking in the man
ner that they are hardly necessary.
in the running broad jump and the
weights.
Past history Of college sport in
America will reveal that this method
is wrong. Any we'll tuned competitor
and as a. general rule, the men who
ually well on edge, always does his
best work in the second trial, surely
in the third. So what is the purpose
of overlooking the contests with a lot
Of extra trials which only tires the
men for finals and drags the COM
petitions for hours?
Another contemplated change is that
the trials shall take place in groups Of
two. That is. If an athlete finds his
first trial is not satisfactory he will
be at liberty to go back and take an
other trial. Will not this plan be I'M
fair where there may be 20 or 80 COM
petitors?
The circle, or the take-off board will
of course, be all right for the first
competitors up, but how will the last
men fare with the ground torn to
shreds with the two-trial system 1t
is sometimes bad enough to be the
last men with only one trial allowed.
but 1t will be frightful proposal for
the unfortunate competitor who hap
pens to draw a position away down
the line.

OBJECT TO PLAYER LIMIT.
National League Managers Say It Will
Effect Playing Efficiency.

The worst Southern training season
many of the major league clubs have
clubs are on their way North. The
bad weather, the shortnesS of the
training season and the fact that the
player limit has been cut down to Fl
players will bring the Giants home
early next week below the standard of
physical preparedness they have
shown i'll other years.
Both at the Giants camp at Marlin
and at the Yankees camp at Savan-
nah the weather conditions were little
better than in New York during the
month of March. Following the opin-
ion expressed a few weeks ago by
President Ban Johnson, there will be
a general movement hereafter to cur
tail training trips to two weeks or
abolish them entirely.
1t is the opinion of many baseball
men that the National League clubs
this season will be less efficient at the
start of the season than they nave
been in former seasons. The player
limit has been Zig handicap to the
managers. With so many candidates
to pick from and with the bad weather
conditions, it has been difficult to get
a line on some of the youngsters and
pick out the best ones.
Many Of the managers now face the
condition that they will be forced to
let young players go who are likely to
bob up before the season Is over as
stars with other clubs. The player
limit is also causing much concern
among the players. The reason for
this is that a large number of extra
players are going to cut loose from
easy jobs with major league clubs.
With the major league clubs forced to
sign veterans to long-term contracts,
managers are helpless to send in
youngsters who In their judgment may
be better players than the old fellows.
There are several instances in the
Southern camps this spring where
youngsters have shown much promise,
but with a player limit and the old
players under long-term contracts,
managers have been unable to dec1oe
on retaining them.
The managers have realized one i'm
portant thing as the result of the
long term contracts forced upon them
by the Federal League last season and
that is, many Of the veterans loafed
along during the year and did not
show the best that was in them. The
Federal League is experiencing the
very same condition.
The manager is placed in rather
perp4exing position. Between now and
MaN l. when the National League
clubs must cut down their player limit
to- 81, the leaders will have to choose
between a number of youngsters, all
of whom appear to have an equal
chance of making good. If mana
ger permits a youngster to get away
who afterwards makes good with an
other club, and retains a player who
does not come up to the mark, he Is
sure to come in for severe criticism
| from the fans.

ing and route Information received at
the Washington and New York tour
ing bureaus of the American AutOmO-
bile association.
That a long distance automobile
race, properly staged and in its field
of starters fair proportion of the
star drivers of America, has powers
of attraction which no other easily
attainable spectacular event can boast,
has been amply proven again during
the past winter, by the series of races
which have taken place in California
This series was so arranged as to
be almost complete circuit in ITSELF
the combination of events drawing to
the coast almost all the famous Amer
can cars and pilots, as well as the
pick of the foreign racing cars now
on this side of the water.
There are so many good automobiIes
today that it would be as difficult to
find a really poor automobile as it was
ten years ago to find really good
one,'' said a general manager of tho
company building high class cars. so
it would seem that it would not re-
quire the skill and judgment to select
a car now as was necessary to select
| ore ten years ago. The paradox Of
| the situation is that fully as much
skill and judgment are necessary to-
| day to select a good car as was nee
| essary ten years ago. However, this
| judgment is now exercised along diff
ferent lines.
The points for consideration now
| are other than mechanical. Motor
lists have been highly educated in
| motor-caro1ogy. They have a high
standard by which they measure the
looks, riding qualities. ease of con-
! troll, and performance of the modern
car. They are just as particular and
ready to find fault today when the
majority are good, as when the ma
jority of cars were suspicious to say
the least. The judgment of the mod
ern buyer is law, too. Let a manu-
facturer. who has educated his Gus
toners to put implicit faith in the car
bearing his name plate, put out a
single model that in any respect falls
short of this standard, and that manu-
facturer reaps a harvest of trouble. A
car of today, to be recognized as a
leader, must do more than be able to
run, stop, climb hills and carry pas
sengers. 1t must do all these things
as a matter of course, and if in do
| ing so 1t attracts the attention of the
passengers to the fact that it is la
| boring to perform these primary func-
| tons then that car is not I'D to the
modern demand.
There is also the gross and appar-
emily irrevelant question, as to stand
| ing Of the manufacturer. This has
little to do with automobile machin-
cry, but is one Of the wisest things to
think about in buying a car and the
wise buyers Of today appreciate this.

SPORTING NOTES

If Detroit had the Red Sox pitchers
it would win the American league
pennant in walk, says Mike Finn.
The Braves were supposed to play in
Bridgeport a week from Sunday. AS
there is no team in that city yet, Jer-
sey City has been given the date.
The Grays had a left-handed batch
Of outf1elders in Powell, Platte, Nc
Intyre and Tutwiler last season, and
they may boast another in the coming
race, if Tutftler by any chance, re-
turns, as Shorten poles EN- from the
far side Of the plate.
With a little push a snappy little
baseball league could be formed in
this vicinity between the semi-profes-
sfonal teams as there are several man
ayers in Eastern Connecticut who have
already signifled that they are willing
to enter a league playing Saturday
baseball and possibly Sundays. There
has been considerable talk in regards
to forming such an organization but
no one is forward enough to start the
ball a rolling. -.-.as

DOINGS IN THE auto WORLD
Hoosier Race Expected to be Greater Success Than in
Former Years-Long Distance Automobile Racing Be-
coming Popular-Points for Consideration in Purchas
ing Car Now Other Than Mechanical

The exodus Of racing stars from the
coast, where the Venice, Grand Prize
and Vanderbilt races have just been
successfully concluded, once more
international sweepstakes race at In
dianapolis.
The next contest will be the fifth
of the series, each of which has been
attended by greater success than its
predecessor. In kind, it is thought
the 1915 race will be the greatest Of
all Both in the number Of starters,
which is scheduled to total thirty
three this year, instead of thirty, as
formerly and in attendance, which. 1t
is figured will reach well over the
1000 mark, the Hoosier race Is eX-
pected to surpass its previous per-
formances.
The foreign field. it is stated, will
be as good as ever, despite the war
and it's kindred handicaps. At least
bly, three Italian cars are expected,
unless Of course. still further military
complications upset the course Of the
latter. The French and English en-
tries are assured.
Americans, too, will battle on even
terms this year. the car builders hav-
ing discarded their heavy racers OF
last season, and built new, light, fleet
machines on a par with the best OF
Europe.
Though he hasn't won a race since
he bought the car, w. L. Wilson, of
Rochester, N. Y, who owns the car
which Rene Thomas galloped home
in the last Indianapolis 500 mile race
is still game. His latest move is
to order smaller cylinders on the ma
chine, with the idea of seeing whether
t can't repeat it's one lone victory. At
present 1t is too big to enter.
A Detroit concern has already as
sumed the task of fitting a new body
on De Palma's racer.
A second Comedian, duplicate of the
car Louis Chevrolet will drive, is said
to be under preparation for the next
Indianapolis 500 mile race, with Carl,
alias Dutch" Klein, as probable in
cumbent Of the drivers seat. Klein
rode with Bob Burman in the Hoosier
race last year.
