BASKET BALL F|VES

Despite unfavorable conditions and
predictions that sport would be con-
siderably on the wane. basket ball has
just finished one of the most success
full years it has enjoyed since its in
situation in the District of Columbia
Only in Independent club circles has
the war affected the game, as colleges
and schools have gone through an ex-
ccptionally good year.
GeOrGetoWn undoubtedly had the
strongest team here. Despite the fact
that George Washington will go down
as having won the District champion
snip. because it was title winner IN
the recognized collegiate organization,
the Blue and Gray was by far the
strongest of the cunts. Overwhelming
victories by the Hillto?pers over
George Washington shows how 1nuch
better they were than either Catholic

sistent man in George Washington 5
lineup. standing head and shoulders
above the others. Whitman WAS Cal
laudet'S mainStay ana Elseman was
consistently good for Maryland State.
Central High was the best scholastic
team in this section. Not only did il
win the high school championship, hut
proved ConGlusIvely that it stood out
among the most capable combinations
in the east. Wilson. Solomon and Daley
were the mainstays of the Blue and
White. Western and Eastern also did
good work, Thomas Of The latter and
Wight OF the former being stars.
Gonzaga came out with a good team
and played through 2 successful season,
meeting successfully many other sc.o-
iastic organizations. y. NJ. G. A boys
probably. next to Central. were the
most capable young team IN the Dis
trict. They worked well together were
we'll coached and displayed good spirit
in their play. St. Adams did well and
SO did the Georgetown Preps and Army
and Navy Props.
Big crowds have attended the games.
Certainly intercollegiate contests have
drawn more individuals than in pre-
vious years and the scholastic meet
ings have attracted as usual The play
except for Georgetown, in interccI-
legiate circles was below the usual
standard, but that did not detract from
the interest, as Josses in material af-

teams was at least as good as the av-
erase and IN some cases much better.

NOTES OF GOLF AND GOLFERS.

Questions as to what shall be done
to equalize distances of golf courses in
the hot days of summer with the alb
normal distance that can be obtained
with a new type of ball which has
made its appearance on the market
probably will have TO be taken up soon

ball put out by one of the leading man
ufacturers of sporting goods has been
doing such great things in the south
that i, is claimed courses which pre-
viously were difficult even for 1.-The best
players will now be made much easier.
one writer goes so far as to say that
distances of $50 TO 400 yards on the
baked courses of summer will not be
impossible with the new ball 1t is
said that in i match in the Boston dis
trict in which Louis Teller of Brook
line and Mike Brady of Braeburn play
ed Francis Ouimet and Jesse Guilford.
Brady, using the new ball. was consist
emily ahead Of any of the other three
and Brady is not normally the longest
hitter of the quartet. This may be
attributed in 4 measure to a good day
for Brady, but such disparity between
the distance obtained by Brady and
that of the other three cannot be ex-
planned merely by the fact that he was
hitting the ball unusually well. During
the match for the Red Cross. in which
Chick Evans and Ned Sawyer were
beaten BY Francis Ouimet and Jesse
GuiFford last fall. it was discovered that
Evans using the new ball, was outdtiv-
ing both Ouiinet and tuilford. Chick
IS a fairly long hitter. bur normally
probably is behind both the Boston men
Waiter i. Travis. who was here last
fall visiting pr. Walter 5. Harlan, be-
lieves that some legislation by the gov
erning body of golf Is necessary look
ing toward the end that the balls at
least be standardized. in his opinion
the craze for long hitting Will become
so ferYent and the desire of the ball
makers so keen TO produce ball which
will suit their trade, that courses of
1000 yards in length and over will.

the Enme. what effect do you believe IL
would have on the work of Stanley CO.
veIeskie of the Cleveland club.
LEXINGTON.
In the first place. don't believe you
need worry over the possible abolition
of the spit ball While / have advo-
Gated such d move, and while major
ity of base ball leaders favor it, 1 doubt
if any action will be taken in the mat
ter. Coveleskie depends largely on the
spit ball. He also has good speed and
a rather good curve. I believe Covel-
eskie would be able to go along though
his one best bet was taken from him.
Please explain what is meant when a
pitcher is referred to AS having an ex-
celient change of pace:
JOHN DORSEY.
Change of pace means the ability Of
pitcher to mix them up. There are
some pitchers who have plenty Of speed
and q fair curve If they start to hit
the speed, the pitcher has little else 10
offer. The perfecting of a slow ball is
great asset TO the pitcher. particularly
if he can deliver il with the same mo-
tion used in throwing the fast ball.
Some pitchers have d bali that is
known as half speed" It is clsssed as
neither a slow nor fast one. The pitcher r
with such an assortment is said to
have a good change of pace. He has
something to offer in a pinch that is a
little different. something to confuse
the batSnan.
Can a first basemnn wear the same
size glove the catcher: Some years
ago 1t WAS customary for first basemen
to use a glove similar to that OF the
catcher. l notice most of the first base
men now use a glove considerably
smaller in size and much different in
construction.
What are the limitations on the sf.e
of the bat: I claim a player has a right
to use - short bat as he desires.
r. C. G.
The catcher or first baseman may
wear Il glove of any size, shape or
weight. Every other player is re-
stricted to the use Of a glove or mitt
weighing not over ten ounces and
measuring not over fourteen inches
around the palm. Modern first basemen
have shifted to the new style of glove
now in almost general use because
they have found it greatly helps them
in handling ground balls. and in spear
ing wide throws with one hand
The player can use as short a bat as
he desires. but it must not be over
forty-two inches in length, and not
over two and three-fourths inches at
the thickest part.
