HE USED JUDGMENT
Bobby Quinn Agreed With Anna
teur Umpire in Tough Place.

Bobby Quinn, who has resigned as
secretary OF the Columbus American
Association team to go higher in the
game, always took a lot of interest
in amateur baseball in Columbus and
was made a sort of chief umpire to
mass as a court OF last resort on dis
puted points. One day the umpire
of an amateur game came TO Quinn
with this proposition:
"A runner between third and home
gets caught in a run-up and first
thing / know the whole team was
in the chase, trying to tag him. out
fieIders and all OF them. ! stopped
the game and declares to them: 'NoY
all YOU fellows get back to your 20
sitions except the catcher and third
baseman; let them do the running
down and give this fellow a chance
what want to know is, Mr.. Quinn,
~ | was keeping in the rules. II
seems to me ! used good judgment.
for this runner didn't have chance
with all nine men after him"
And now for Quinn's decision:
How did the play wind up?" he
asked.
sOh. the catcher finally put the
hall on him and he was OUT said
the umpire OF the amateur game.
Sure he was out?" asked Quinn.
YES. he was tagged out a.. right"
You used good judgment-fine
Judgment" therupon declared Quinn,
and there amt q chance TO protest.

CHOOSES 0AKM0NT
National Open Championships to Be
Staged August 20.

According to Howard W. Perrin,
new president of the United States
Golf Association, the national amateur
championship will be played over the
Oakmont Country Club links during
the last week of August The date is
settled definitely to begin August 20.
Since the Oakmont officials have
stated that their course is in better
condition for tournament play during
the hot months the executive commit
tee of the national body favored the
early date.
Custom will not lead the executive
committee in awarding dates here
after il Perrin has his way. He de
clares that the national fixtures
should be played when the best test
Of golf is, possible. He is in favor of
allowing the club where the tourna-
1nent is to be held to name the dates,
knowing that the officials of the re-
spective clubs know more about such
things than the committee.
-Oakmont used convincing arGu-
nents to have the tournament ther-
in August. and while that seems bit
early, I think that the players who
expect to enter can arrange their holi-
day SO as to compete then as well a.
later in the autumn" said Perrin.
Oakmont is so situated that the
greens and fairways dry up early in
the fall and become so hard that il
cuts down the efficiency OF the
course"

TWO FLOOR TEAMS
REGISTER VICTORY
Gallaudet Defeats C. U. and A.
N. Props Defeat
Episcopal.

Galladuet succeeded in nosing out
Catholic University by rs to % in a
well-played game at Carroll Institute,
making history for the Kendall
Greeners. The Gallaudet players kept
Catholic University on the move
throughout and were always a point
O. two ahead.
The Kendall Green team won by the
margin of one basket, as both teams
shot the same number of free tossses.
Blight, of Catholic University, was
forced out of the game and his loss
was felt by the Brooklanders.
Play Spirited.
Play was spirited and fast through
out the game. Schowe contributed
some excellent teamwork for the Gal
laudet i've and seemed to be the
necessary pivot for A Wenger and
whitman.
Catholic University produced an
other O'Brien who seems to have the
appearance OF a conner. Cosby con-
tributed much to the C. u. play when
he was sent into the fray. Gallaudet
showed an improved defense and bet
ter goal throwing ability than in
former battles.
A. n. Props winners.
The Army and Navy Props made
athletic history at Alexandria yes
terday when the Episcopal High
School team was beaten to a stand
still on its own floor. The Episcopal
lads were forced to swallow a bitter
pill, as it was the first time in his
tory they have been beaten in their
gym.
Allison played cIeverly for the
Props and sailed the game in the last
few minutes of play. Allison led
both teams in shooting. The score
was "a to IS in favor of the Props.

heavier combination. The Gonzaga
lads were never in the running, being
outclassed from the start.
Gonzaga has had a creditable week.
Leonard Hall was beaten. The
Business team was held to a 20

go the limit for a win. Gonzaga has
scheduled games with other high
school teams during the remainder OF
the season.

0RTNER IS LEADER
Cornell Star Has Margin in Inter
Collegiate League.

Ortner, Cornelrs star basketball
player, holds a commanding lead in
the race for individual scoring honors
In the intercollegiate League games.
Ortner has registered ffty-seven
points in the four games which Cor
nell has played this season, leading
the league both in field goals and foul
goals. He has caEeo fifteen field
goals. while he has shot twenty-seven
foul goals from the fifteen-foot marx.
Sisson, the Dartmouth mainstay,
and Kinney. of Yale, are staging
close fight for second prize, the Big
Green star having a total Of forty
four points to his credit as compared
to thirty-nine for Kinney. Sisson,
however, has been in one more game
than the Eli. Capt. Eddie McNichol
leads the Penn team with twenty
points. he being tied with Farer, Of
Columbia, for eighth place.
Cornell also leads in the team scor-
ing, with a total OF 100 points collect
ed in the four games. Yale, although
only having played three games. is
ahead OF Dartmouth by three points,
with a total of ninety-seYen.
Penn, although tied with Yale for
first place, has the lowest scoring rec
ord, the Red and Blue lads only hav-
ing Tailed sixty points in the three
games in which they have played.
PENIS great showing is due to the
fine guarding put up by Capt. Eddie
McNichol and Carl Emery. Only
forty-one points have been scored on
Coach Jourdet's boys, this being much
less than any other teams showing.
Yale, who is tied with. Penn for the
lead, has a total OF seventy-two points
scored against them, nearly double
that of the Red and Blue team.
Connolly and LAWN, the two Penn
forwards, are tied in points scored,
each having scored six field goals.
Johnny LAWN is just rounding into
form, and IT is generally expected
that before long LAWN will be much
higher up in the list.

DATE NOT CHOSEN
Annual Poushkeepsie Regatta May
Be Held June Fl.

DC Helo June Il.
There is a strong likelihood that
the annual Poughkeepsie regatta,
which is held under the stewardship
OF the intercollegiate Rowing Asso-
citation, will be rowed this year on
thursday, June p. There has been
no official action taken as yet by
the board OF stewards toward the Sc
lection of the regatta date. but June
II Is understood to be strongly ia
vored at Columbia, Cornell, and Penn
sylvania, the three colleges which
form the association. The board of
stewards will hold a meeting later in
the month to decide upon the date
Several reasons are given for the
probable selection of June II as the
best date for the annual rowing elias
sic. The annual Yale-Harvard race is
scheduled for the following day and
many followers OF rowing prefer to
see the Poukhkeepsie regatta staged
first. Then, too, tidal conditions play
a most important part in the choice OF
the date.
With three races to be rowed, not
only the time between the races, but
the exact time OF high tide. has 10 ne
considered. If June 81 is not selected.
the tide would not be favorable again
until the fourth or fifth OF July,
date later than has ever before been
selected.
Last year the board OF stewards
were in much the same dilemma and
finally selected June IL in preference
to July 2. The coaches will appre-
ciate the extra four days of practice
in conditioning their crews IL June
q is chosen, as all OF them felt handi-
capped last year by the unusually
early date for the regatta.

Players fraternity President
May Shift Strike Scene to
This City.
MORRISON WON'T TALK
A. +. of L. Secretary Makes No
Comment Upon Reported
Board Action.

The scene of the new famous base
ball players strike will be shifted
from New York to Washington tomor'
rwow. David Fultz, president of the
Baseball Players Fraternity, is re-
ported being on his way here for
conference with the executive council
of the American Federation OF Labor.
Reports from New York say the ap-
piIcation of the Baseball Players Fra
ternity for a charter under the laws
of the American Federation OF Labor
were not acted upon by the executive
council Of the labor organization.
Refuses To Comment.
The New York story says Fultz will
be in Washington tomorrow to take
up the matter with the executive
council, Frank Morrison, secretary
of the American Federation of Labor,
today refused to comment upon either
the reported application for a charter
or the report of Fultz's visit.
81 have nothing to say and nothing
to give out" said Mr.. Morrison thfs
morning. The labor secretary mani
tested some interest in the reported
action Of the executive council, but
declined to make comment upon
either tae reported action of that
body or the visit of the Players Fra
tsrnity head.
Looks for Action.
In an interview in New York today
Fultz expounds the case of the play
ers and outlines their specific griev-
snces against organized baseball.
Organized ball has thus upon its
hands one of the most serious con-
ditions which it has ever faced, and
unless 1t sees it to compel the board
to straighten up and do the right
thing there will be some awfully sur-
prised people within a few weeks.
Many attempts have been made by
the big league owners to picture The
players as ingrates for not signing
contracts when the commission has
granted their request" says Fultz.
May Mean Visit Here.
FuItz's words may mean that he is
coming here to state his case before
the labor organization. Secretary
says he executive council reports
nightly on its meetings and fans may
look for something tomorrow night
il the Players Fraternity head make
a trip here.
The fact that the labor secretary
would neither deny or affirm the &C.
ton of the executive council and
would make no comment upon Fultz' S
reported visit Is taken to mean that
action my be looked for in the next
tWenyt-four hours.
