MUST HAVE HORSE SENSE.
Comiskey Says Its the Fundamental
of Successful Ball Player.

Horse sense. in the opinion Of Com
iskey, is the fundamental of success
full base ball. Natural ability to hit
the ball and field well is fine and
dandy, but the owner Of the White Sox
gives one instruction to every man.
ager who works for him. And 1t is
the same rule he wants carried out
that he followed himself when pilot
ing ball clubs back in the early days.
Never allow a bag to be uncovered is
the rule. And it includes home plate.
Here is Comiskey's logic: when the
ball is hit there is no reason for a bag
to be left vacant longer than mo-
mentarily. II one of the basemen is
fielding a ball or relaying a throw,
there is a pitcher and shortstop to
cover the bag. The men should not be
elsewhere because a base runner is
not going to cross the infield or run
into the outfeld. He Is going from
base to base consecutively by the
shortest possible route. When those
corners are constantly guarded the
chances for put-outs are increased.
Faithful observance of this rule will
almost keep a poor club in the first
division"

CUT OUT T|TULAR TENNIS
All Championship Play Eliminated
From Events This Year Owing to
Action Of U. s. N. L. T. A.

NEW YORK. April 21.-Champion-
ship tennis play is to be eliminated
from all scheduled tournaments this
season. according to an announcement
made today by the officers OF the Ma
tional Lawn Tennis Association. This
action has been taken after consulta-
tion with Secretary of War Newton D.
Baker, who approved of the idea OF
holding the two hundred and odd tour
naments carded, under a plan to make
these competitions a means OF healthful
exercise minus the feature of titular
play of all types.
The outline of the new system as sub
United to Secretary Baker calls for the
abandonment for the present season OF
all championship, annual rankings
prizes. challenge cups and invitations to
prominent players to compete in tour
naments held at points long distances
from their home clubs. In place of the
existing regulations. 1t is proposed to
substitute an entirely new set of tour
nament rules to govern the present sit
uation. This code is now being formu-
lated and will be announced in the near
future.
In a general way the new plan will
advocate the holding of every tourna-
ment scheduled under the list sanction
ed last week by the U. S. N. l.. T. A.
Will the ptoNtSC tHdt tnCy Dc hclQ Dc
patriotic affairs and entry and admis-
sion fees be contributed to the American
Red Cross.
1t will be suggested that all matches be
played late in the afternoon and efforts
be made to secure quantity as well
as quality in the entry lists. The clubs
will be urged to bring out the largest
number of competitors possible within
restricted or local radius, in order that
as little time as possible be lost in
travel. Patriotic ceremonies in connec-
tion with the tournaments will be sug-
gssted as desirable.
1t 10 the opinion of the executive COM
mittee of the association that such a
system of play during the war will be
both beneficial and feasible. The elimi-
nation of championships and trophies
will remove the incentive for players
to neglect their duty, military or other
wise. and the tournaments will thus not
become a hindrance to the activities of
the government.
The proposals submitted to Secretary
of War Baker met with his hearty APP
prevail and in indorsing them he added
the following notation:
The foregoing recommendations seem
to me admirable and I am glad to
recommend their adoption. In addition
] would be glad IL the members Of the
association who do go into the military
forces could be requested to cooperate
in all efforts to establish athletics in
the training camps and SO create
wholesome recreation for the leisure
hours Of soldiers and officers"

MAJORS SEEM TO HAVE LOST
ATTRACTION FOR COLLEGIANS
Varsity Stars Are Not Attracted to Big
Leagues as Of Yore-Many Great
Players From Colleges.

Is professional base ball losing its at
traction for college men or are the col
iegians and universities no longer turn
ing out the talent they did about ten
years ago? While there still remain
an abundance OF star players in the big
league ranks who first won their base
ball spurs on varsity mines. 1t also Is
true that in recent years large num-
Der of prominent big league collegians
have passed in their uniforms. and few
college men are being obtained to fill
their places. The general impression
is that professional base ball is losing
it's attraction for collegians.
