New President Is in Boston for
Brief Visit,

BOSTON, December 2l-John A
Heydler, the new president of the
National League. paid his first visit to
the Braves officials in his new ca
pacity here today. He took pains to
set right the story that he was COM
ing here to "set right the Braves sit
uation." 1t is merely his first stop
in visiting about the circuit, he ex-
planned, and he will go from here in a
day or two to either Philadelphia or
Pittsburgh. In his very brief state
ment he had a kind word for umpires.
They had a hard time last season"
he said. land I take this occasion to
state they were very courageous and
patient under adverse conditions.
You all know I'm new on this job and
am getting busy learning all 1 can
about it The financial condition of
the league is good and the st. Louis
situation has been ironed out"
He ventured to further comment
that the tendency OF the game
seems to be toward the joint use OF
ball grounds in such cities as St
Louis. Philadelphia, New York and
Boston" He had high compliment
for silk" OLoughlin. saying he was
one of the very best.

YANKS IN FRANCE
BOOST BASE BALL
Manager Hendricks Back
From cover There" Says
Boys Talk of Came.

NEW YORK, December 21.-Base
ball celebrities in the service are
rapidly returning to what the Yankee
soldier boys call Gods own coun-
try" Jack Hendricks, manager of
the st. Louis Cardinals and field sec
rotary for the Knights of Columbus,
returned on board the Megantic.
Hendricks was over there only long
enough to decide that Paris is some

of the fake peace announcement, and
was only a few days at sea when
the big fight was finished Jack said
be was over there about as long as
some bushers last in the big leagues,
but added q saw a lot during my
sojourn.'
Jack said there are lot of big
leaguers in France, and the boys are
beginning to talk and think base ball
again. Il talked to a. lot of ball play
ers over there. They all hope to be
back in time to make the training
trips. Now that it is over. the big
question among the boys is, When
do we get home?"
Hendricks said he heard OF the
election of John Heydler to the presi-
dency of the National League just
before he left France. 1T sure was
good news" said Hendricks. No
body ever deserved promotion more
than John Heydler. He is one OF the
cleanest men ever connected with
base ball. He always has been

ball overseas. Everybody will be
glad when the time comes to yell

Asked as to what will be his status
next year, Hendricks said: We'll.
still am manager of the Cardinals
However, I just got in, and will have
to learn the ropes. l have been out
of touch with things"
During the league meeting James
C. Jones, vice president and leading
stakeholder of the Cardinals, said IT
had not been decided who would lead
He said the question would have to
wait until Maj. Branch Hickey, pres
ident of the club. returned from
France. Branch is expected back be-
fore the joint meeting next month.
1t is known, however. that Jones is
against the retention of Hendricks
and is of the opinion that his work
with the Cardinals last season was
not satisfactory.

TEAMS CHANGE CAMPS
Late Season Opening Likely to
Shift Entire Big League
Training Belt.

NEW YORK, December 21.-The de-
next season until May /. two and a
half weeks later than usual. is likely
to change the entire big league train
ing belt Teams that formerly
trained in Florida and Texas are
likely to give up those camps next
spring in favor of towns in the Caro-
linas and Georgia. No teams have
trained in the Carolinas in years,
though the Washington team trained
at the University of Virginia grounds
at Charlottesville. Va. for several
years.
Our training plans are all awry,
said Secretary Foster of the Giants,
until we know for certain whether
the 1A0-game schedule will be
adopted"
The Giants is one of the clubs that
are fighting for the retention of the
old 154-game schedule.
IF the leagues do not start play un-
til May l there would be no sense in
going to a state like Texas or Florida
to train added Foster. South
Texas is a fine place to train in early
March. but it would be entirely too
hot for April training. 1t would be
the same in Florida.
I'm the Carolinas and Arkansas you
strike the kind of weather in April
that we formerly encountered in
Texas during the month of March"
The Yankees also are thinking OF
abandoning the idea of going to
Florida, figuring that that state will
be too hot for April training. The
Yankees may decide to return to
Macon next spring. If they do not
go back there Barrow will train his
worlds champion Red Sox there.

and made it possible for Ruth to have
continued his trip around the bases
with what would have been the decid-
ing run.
Interference Is Disregarded.
Such a ruling by the Umpire would
have been correct according to the rules
Had it happened in a game in any
ruled otherwise would have been in
error. In the American League. how
ever. there is a special league ruling on
the point. When a bah is hit over the
fence or into the stands. or is in the
possession of some one on the infield,
with no further chance for making a
play. no attention is paid to any act of
the coacher. such as patting the runner
on the back, or in any other way en-
thusing over his performance by coming
into contact with the runner. Thus had
Cleveland been run ahead when Ruth
made his hit, and had Wagner slapped
Strunk on the back as he rounded third,
no attention would have been paid to it
Undoubtedly lot OF things were passing
through Wagner's brain as Strunk ap-
preached third. But Heinie is familiar
with the rules. and he was satisfied Bos-
ton should win, without stirring up an
argument.
There was one other way in which
Such a procedure, however, would have
necessitated the cooperation of the
Cleveland club. When Ruth made that
hit the Cleveland club, individually and
as whole, was in no mood to assist in
furthering the smuggling feats of Boston's
demon hitter. IT, in rounding third base
on his way to the plate, Amos Strunk
had failed to touch third by consider
able margin. and had Joe Evans, who
| was playing third base for Cleveland,
noticed it, and called for another ball
and then touched the base with the ball
| in his possession that would have re-
| tired Strunk and made it possible for
Ruth to get homer.
Give Player Proper Credit.
It has always seemed to me that a
batsman who hits the ball over the fence
or into the bleachers should be credited
| with home run in the averages In
the game l have cited the final score
was to in favor of Boston. / believe
| a more just scoring would have had the
final result 2 to 0 in favor of Boston. l
believe rule should be made which said
| that when a ball was knocked over the
fence. or into the bleachers in an extra
| inning game, all runners on the bases,
| as well as the batsman, should be en-
titled to score. Had three men been on
the bases in the game have cited when
Ruth made the homer the final score
| would have been to if the rule have
suggested was in the code.
