BASEBALL BITS


 Third -Baseman Finn Beck Of the will be out of the game for @ month as result of a, collision with Buck Herzog in a recent game The injured knee is the same that kept Beck out of the game for a long time last season.
 Bill McKechnie had a bad start as a Giant, just as the Giants had as a team. Finally both strengthened out and are moving along at a fast clip It is doubtful if Hans Lobert ever wins his place again
 Miller Huggins appears to have grabbed three star youngsters in Smith, BetzeI and Hornsby. With a little more experience all three are ex- pected to shine as high class players
 Only a scratch hit keeps the name of Neal Brady from the no-hit hall of fame. Brady who is to return to the Yankees from the Columbus club, held Milwaukee to a solitary slam, and that was a scratch by John BealL

 Guisto, the new batting sensation of the Pacific Coast League, made only nine singles in his first twenty-four hits this season Eight hits were home runs, one was a triple and six were for two bases.

 Justin was a jinx for Bridgeport in the old days. He didn't bother the present bunch yesterday. After a single by Gaudette,- Deininger's triple and a pass to Ball in the first, Man ager Flynn waved Justin to the bench.
 The New York Press wonders why some of the western teams in the Ma tional league didn't claim Outfielder Doc Cook, who was waived out of the American league by the Yankees. Cook hit .271 last season and stole 29 bases. He is a poor fielder but some of the western teams could have used him for his hitting.
 The hidden ball trick bobs up ev- cry often. It was used by Law renee against Lynn yesterday, Pry- sock of Lynn being picked off third after he had made a three bagger. Manager Lou Pieper of Lynn must have scrambled the English language a trifle when Prysock returned to the bench.
 Lee Magee, the high priced outfie1d- CT of the Yankees, has been hitting below 200 all season but yesterday he came to life and got a home run and single.

An Unsung Genius.

Lost to memory in the mist OF 100 years, it
seems hopeless task to fix the identity Of
the genius who made pants possible" This re-
gretful observation is stitched onto recently
passed anniversary-O 10. On that dav, in
1916, was invented the neither garment into which
and out Of which masculinity so readily inserts or
withdraws itself. So say the tailors.
When Shakespeare quit writing masterpieces
men began to adopt trousers Of looser but
more comfortable mold than those in which they
had been incased for generations and generations
No wonder such vaudeville stunts as those of the
baggy trousered quick-change artist" were un-
known in Shakespeares time. In those days the
men OF the stage garbed their legs in tight-fttng
tubes OF fabric that had an unfailing tendency to
advertise the lankiness of limb that was so much
in disrepute
Then along came the inventor, bless his un-
known name. He probably did not intend to
achieve the wonderful thing that he did Most
great inventions we have been told, have arisen
from accidental discoveries. Maybe he made a
pair OF elongated trunks out of material which
he expected to shrink and thus conform to the
prevailing tight-clinging fashion, and the stuff
failed to shrink So he went abroad in the flap
ping things and found great comfort in their
roominess, despite the vast derison his appear-
ance aroused.
Anyway, we've got EN- and statsticallv in
clned person has paid tribute to the genius bv
calculating, with more or less accuracy, that the
invention, by eliminating delay in ingress and
egress OF the wearers Of pants, has saved them
I,675,989 years. months and 16 days
And that's only up to October 10, 1916 Think
OF all the additional time that will be saved
before tights come into style for men again!

ARMY AND NAVY NEWS
Best Service Column in City.

The proposal for the establishment of
'neighborhood' regiments for the army
has been revived as a means Of stimuIat-
ing recruiting. Under the plan army regi-
ments would be composed Of men re-
cruited from the territory in which the
regiments are stationed.
Wsr Department officials generally look
unfaVorab!y upon the proposal 1t would

which would nccessitate importing out
siders, thus destroying the distinctively
local color and spirit which is sought and
which is regarded as essential in stimulat-
ing recruiting and creating and maintain
ing local pride.
IheTe are some parts OF the country,
notably in the north and west, where
there would be no difficulty in raising
regiments, but there would obviously not
be so many available recruits in the
South Then, it is also a question whether
a 'neighbOrhood" army would be so de-
sirable as one which was less sectional

The High Cost of College Athletics.

This vigorous protest from Yale against ex-
travagant expenditures in college athletics has
come not moment too soon 1t puts into plain
language what the authorities of many other insti-
to speak aloud. Yale utter this protest with
good grace, for she has not been by any means
the worst offender.
The fact is that at practically all our colleges
the passion for athletic victories has carried ex
penditures to an absurd length. Head coaches are
than college professor gets for his entire years
work. To help him the coach must also have
regular squadron of assistants trainers and other
subordnates, all of them drawing good salaries
No wonder 1t costs more to put one football glad-
ator on the gridron than the average student
spends in a whole year at college Yet some Of
the institutions which afford to be so prodisal
in coaching and coddling their athletic teams are
the ones which cry put continually that they have
not enough income to do their academic work
properly.
The root OF the trouble is not hard to find The
intense rivalry between the various colleges, the
subordinaton of everything the desire for teams
which will win, these things have led to absurd
competition in expenditures. 1t is like the race for
arrnaments. The argument is that no team can
hope to win unless it can be provided with all
the high-priced coaching, scouting, dieting and
other paraphernalia that it's rivals are getting To
the progressive development of that absurditv as
in sight. The time has surely come, therefore, for
our colleges to agree upon a scheme of retrench-
ment The chief evil of intercollegiate athletics at
the present time is not their dstracting effect upon
study nor their roughness their promotion
of bad feeling between rival institutions. In all
The worst feature today is the excessive high cost
of athletics and the pernicous example to prodi-
gality which is thus held before the undergradu-
ate's eyes.-Boston Herald.
