players on the teams have been ap-
preached and asked to give UP their

much harder time getting back in
amateur sport than the player who
was professionalism through ignor-
ance, said Soper ". .~
IL has been rumored that the old
players Of the Oahu League who play
ed in the last series have asked for
cards in the A. A. T., and it is also
reported that the Honolulu League,
after bucking the amateur end, has
now petitioned Ior amateurism. The
sign last year showed that amateur
baseball has come to stay, and within
a few years the professional will be
as lonesome as duck in desert.
Last year Sam Mott, president o. the
Pacific Amateur League, said that
amateur baseball was here to stay.
The Pacific Leasde met much opposi.
ton from other organizations, but
made such a success that amateur
baseball will have banner season in
1917 without doubt When players
like Bill Inman, Bill Jansen, Kai
Luke and Ahers announce that they
want to become amateurs something
must be in the air, According to the
A. A. U. officials these players may
be reinstated tive years after making
application in case the authorities are
satisfied that the players want to live

ROSS MAKES BIG
HIT IN new YORK

The New York papers are deYoting
much space to Norman Ross and the
OIympian's record breaking swims.
This is bit of the story in the New
York World of his victory over T..
Cam from the pen of l.. de Handley,
the best known Aquatic expert in the
country: r..
The fight between Ross and, Cam
will long be remembered by those who
were lucky enough to see it. II kept
the spectators on their toes from start
to finish. Until the very end the is
sue was in doubt
The New York lad got off the mark
first at the gun and had slight lead
up to % yards, but the Coast man
closed in on him on the second length.
Both drew gradually away from
Wheatley, swimming almost shoulder
to shoulder, Ross with slow. power
full, six-beat single trudgeon crawl
Cam with more rapid four-beat va.
riety of the same stroke.
At 100 yards Ross led with slight
advantage in SO seconds, and he in
creased it by few feet in the next
so, but Cam was not yet beaten. With
. game effort he slowly cFawled up on
the Californian, and when the latter
reached the 200-yard mark in the new
worlds record time of 2 minutes S
seconds, the young Mercury Footer
was again at his waist. r..
AS the two thrashed down the home
stretch in shower of foam it looked
for a space as if Cam would oYertake
his flying opponent, but it was short
lived hope. -.
Swimming strongly to the last, Ross
hit the line victor just stroke
ahead of Cam
Ross time for the full distance,
while faster than the former record
of minutes 90 2-5 seconds, made by
Herbert Vollmer last year in the same
pool, is not so fast as his own mark
of 2 minutes q 80 seconds, set in

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, T. H.,
April 20.-The Baby Regiment appar-
entity has taken the place of the

baseball honors, as it is billed to
check an invasion of the All-Chinese

afternoon. This will be the first ap-
pearance of the Chinese at Schofield
TO do battle with the 32nd Infantry,
and as a previous encounter between
the two forces in Honolulu resulted
in an exciting game, the Celestials
managing to squeeze out a win by one
tally, it is expected that the baseball
population of Schofield will turn out
en- masse to witness the battle. The
infants put up rattling good exhibit
ton of baseball last Sunday when
they defeated the coming Fort Ruger
aggregation, and with Mashaw in any
kind of form expect to annex another
win. The 32nd Infantry will present
its strongest lineup for the battle,
namely, Chief, IS; Boyle, 2b; Cassels,
If; Holeomb, Sb; auckland, IF; STRAIT

The early part Of May should bring
the Service League into action and

should be the order every Sunday
afternoon at Schofield and Honolulu,
and at Schofield some of the large
crowds that witnessed the games of
the series between the Wreckers and

an average attraction brings the faith
full to the national pastime in droyes.

rule changes
Will BENEFIT
AUTUMN GAMES
Football if Played This Year
Should Be Better Sport Than
Ever: No SideIine Coaching

Although there may be no football
next fall, as. far as the: intercollegiate
branch of the game is concerned, re-
cent changes in the rules ought to
make it better than ever, If it Is pcs
sible to play. ~ -,. - .
More skilful execution, Of the for
ward pass will follow the added pro-
lection give nthe receiver of the ball.
In the event Of Illegal interference
the ball will go to the offended side
at the point where the foul was CON-
mitted. This rule will have the effect
of checking the catcher of the pass,
which was frequently done last year
AS the rule stood, with the penalty
of Is yards from the point where the
play started, it afforded players an
opportunity of beating the rule by pre-
venting pass of from 20 to 80 yards
at only the loss of a 15-yard penalty.
The action to curb the practise of
sending substitutes into the game for
the mere purpose of carrying informa-
ton from the side lines is to be COM
mended, for there is nothing in the
game more unfair or more unsports-
fnanlike than this form of coaching.
Unfortunately. there were evidences
Of this practise in games played not
only here, but in some OF the big in
tercollegiate games in the East,
The committee has always deplored
such tactics, and some time ago clear.
ed the side lines of the many coaches
who used to do spy duty. 1t was
hoped that this would abolish this
evil, but the rules committee found it
necessary to pass a rule which pre-
vents substitute from holding conn
munication with the other players
when he enters the game until one
play has been made. -.
The multiple. kick was abolished be.
fore il was given much of trial, be-
cause it was contrary to the principles
of field goal that was laid down by
the founders of the game. II kick
of this kind were allowed to count as
a field goal it would likely make scor-
ing very easy in the future, when the
play was better known. Then all the
skill which comes only after lcng,
tedious practise in kicking field goals
in the legitimate way, off the gorund.
WOulu 20 LOT uOuSnI. Although ~lue
multiple kick was not widely tried last
season, it is known that in instances
where it was practised, it quickly de-
veloped to point where its success
was common. One case has been
cited of school team which scored all
of its field goals in this manner last
season. A play which could be de-
yeloped so quickly by schoolboys
would In short time make field goals
too common for the good of the game.
Although the football rules commit
tee didn't seem to think SO, there are
many football men who believe it is
within the jurisdiction of'that body to
make the numbering of players COM
pulsory. The committee this year did ]
not even discuss the subject. With |
almost all colleges agreed that the |
idea is good one, 1t is unfortunate |
that one or two should hold out |
against the majority. Popular clamor |
has been the means Of affecting many
changes in the past, and it may be a |
means of causing change in this in
stance.

statement made by John Soper in dis
cussing the athletic situation in this
city.
Amateur baseball is. receiving a big

this time, and consequently the l!lay-
ers are anxious to know what VIII be
the outcome OF the various organiza-
ti0ns. The old Oahu League was rec

Soper, who is the chairman OF the

day that changing the name would not
In any sense change the status Of the
league. The Honolulu League AMI the
Service League VIII both play profess
SIGNAL ball.
A Strange Mixture
The Honolulu League has been max.
ing efforts TO take, amateur players
from the Pacific League, which is an
A. A. ". organization, but have not
met with good results. The plan of
the Honolulus League was to play
three professional players with other
juniors, as opposition to the amateur
league. These juniors would automat-
ically become professionals as soon as
they competed in the league games.
One OF the managers Of one Of the
Honolulu leag1e teams was under the
impression that the junior players
would not be professionalism, but II
is known that the league was oppos-
ing amateurisfn in spirit, as the Of
ficers OF the league did not know or
should have known that il was impos-
Eible to play professionals and anna
tours on the same teams.
