NUMBERING PLAYERS
URGED IN FOOTBALL
Hard to Distinguish individuals in the
Big Games.

New York, Dec. sold King Football
has retired to his winter quarters 'aiter
q strenuous, II not a sensational SEASON.
but while the gridiron dope was as
Interesting as usual to the tootDah Pu"-
lie. it can be said that the aetual ENJOY
ment of many big games was curtaleo,
and all because there are still some OF
our foremost little football bosses who
refuse to apply the numbering system 10
their players.
ON November . the football season
practically came to a close in the East
with the Yale-Harvard and Army-NaNy
games, but these two big gridiron morsels
could have been better enjoyed had the
numbering system been universal.
: At the Polo Grounds. where the Army
and Navy fought their annual battle, the
fplayers trotted on to the feld-twenty-
two of 'em-and every man wore sweat
er Of the same color. The players stock
mss were. even of the same hue.
Now. how in the world is a football
fan TO distinguish individual players
under such conditions?
He can't, that's all. He might as well
try to watch Greenland play some south
Sea Island team by wireless-and TINS
can't be did.
It was not until after the players had
pattered to their respective dressing
rooms that even the newspaper sharks
knew who had scored for the Navy
against Elmer OIiphant. Finally, Good
stein, the Navy center. confessed that he
was the guilty party and the football
world got the straight dope some hours
otter the final whistle had blown.
At New Haven the situation was a DIT
better because Yale players were num-
bered. but even there the reporters were
UP a stump on several important plays.
Ask any lover Of football if he ap-
proves OF numbering players and he will
blurt out a boost for the system. Pa
irons Of football games should be pro-
vided with the correct hne-ups of the
teams prior 10 the start of the game. The
,piavprs should be numbered-or one team
Numbered and the other lettered. Mr..
Football Fan shells out his perfectly
SpendaBIc tin to watch and to help sup
port the game. and he is entitled to the
hest that can be given him.
IF football was a sentimental PROPOSE
tion pure and simple it might be differ
ont but football has grown to be a COM
merCiaI sport as well. and the public
pays the freight. For example, take the
biggest games Of the year. and the wind
up Of the "big-three" season in the East,
Khen 5000 saw Yale and Harvard.

RADBOURNE HOLDS MARK.

Remarkable is the uneoualed record OF
twenty straight baseball victories won in
1884 by the Providence club. More re-
markable still is the fact that Charlie
Radbourne pitched in eighteen of the
twenty games, all of which came within
single month. His achievement has
never been repeated by any twirler of
succeeding generations. and is unlikely
that under present playing conditions
that it ever will be.
The Giants winning streak has brought
back into prominence that Providence
record. Radbourne started the spurt on
August I. 1854, by beating New York, to
q He rested the next day while Provi-
dence upset Philadelphia, 6 to o. Then,
on August 9, Radbourne resumed again,
beating Boston, l too to /, to and
! to o. Radbourne then beat Cleveland,
to 2, and Detroit. to 2, resting for the
last time on August %, when Providence
again beat Detroit. to ?. From August
81 to September Z Radbourne won every
game.

STALLNGS NOT TO
TRADE JOHN EVERS

Pittsburgh, Pa. July l4-George Stall,
lings. the leader of the Boston Braves, is
quite stirred up over the numerous
stories that have gone the rounds to the
effect that he was trying to make trade
for Capt. Johnny Evers. especially in
view Of the fact that he admits having
tried to get Buck Herzog from the Gin
cinnau team. Regarding the status Of
Evers with the Boston club. Stallings
made this emphatic statement last night:
Judging from different press reports
there seems to be a general impression
that the Boston club will entertain d
trade for Evers. I wish to make a COM
plete denial OF this. When Johnny came
to the Boston club, Mr.. Gafney and my
self promised him We would never stand
in the way of his advancement. and in
serted in his contract a clause by which
he could not be transferred to another
club without his consent
Il have never receded from this stand
and the only possible trade that would
ever be entertained would be one for
Evers' personal advancement and at his
own solicitation. ! am absolutely sure
that Johnny is satisfied where he Is, and
We are thoroughly satisfied with Johnny"

NEW TIMING METHOD.
To Clock Swimmers when Hand
Crosses Line on West Coast.

New York. July IA method Of tim
ing swimmers new to the Pacific Coast
has been inaugurated there. Swimmers
on the coast have been caught as their
heads passed the line. but from now on
the times are to be taken as the COM
petitor's hand crosses the line. The diff:
ference in timing will mean at least a
fifth of a second in the records which
are made.
Kananamoku. LANCER. Ernie Smith.
Cunha and dozens of others have lost
this fraction of a second, which. though
it seems intinitestiSnal to those not versed
in swimming. is often enough to estab-
lish a new mark. In this day Of split
second watches the difference between
the position of the hand and head may
make or break champion.
The trouble has arisen because Of am
biguity In the A. A. L. swimming rules.
Under Rule 7, Section 10 of the portion
pertaining to records, this clause ap-
pears: And the time taken when the
competitors head crosses the line" But
In Rule 81, Section 6, the words are
negatived by this: Every competitor
shall have finished the race when any
part Of his person reaches the finish
line"
officials OF the Pacific Coast AssocIa-
ton wrote to Otto Wahle. chairman OF
the swimming committee Of the A. A. L,
and Wahle confirmed the opinions Of the
coast officials by stating that time be
taken when the hand and not the head
crosses the line.

CALLS WELSH sIDESTEPPER.
Gibson Makes Retort to Champion
Who Refuses to Box Leonard.

Sorely peeved by Harry Pollock's an
nouncement that Freddy Welsh would
under no circumstances fight Benny
Leonard at Denver on Labor Day, Billy
Gibson. representing Leonard, last night
said that he considered the present hold
er of the lightweight title side-stepping
champion. He was particularly grieved
at the fact that he was led to believe
that his boy might be a principal in the
big bout until Pollock squelched his
hopes.
IT see," he said, where Harry Pollock
upon his arrival has given out state
ment whereby he bars Benny Leonard
and Willie Ritchie from an opportunity
to box a championship contest with
Freddy Welsh, to be decided in Colorado
on Labor Day. How long the public and
the press of this country will stand for
any such statements is beyond my com.
prehension. Why did not Pollock come
right out with a frank statement and bar
Leonard all along?
Benny Leonard eliminated himself
from ever getting a return match with
Freddy Welsh at Madison Square Garder
a few months ago, when he received the
unanimous decision over the present side.
