Patrick Moran
Signs Contract
w ith Giants
Former Manager of Phillies
Will Act as Coach
to the Young Pitchers

Pat Moran, former manager of the
Philadelphia Nationals, yesterday sign
ed a 1919 contract With the New York
National League Club.
1t is understood that Moran will act
in the capacity of coach and developer
of the Giants younger pitchers and
catchers. During the National League
meeting in this city last month Moran
announced, following his release by the
Philadelphia club, that the New York
club, through Manager McGraw, had
offered him a position calling for
salary of $4,000 season.
Pat Moran is one of the most popu-
lar men in baseball and his acquisition
by the Giants is regarded as ten
strike by the local followers of the
game. 1t has always been the custom
of Manager McGraw to have veteran
backstop on hand to look after his
younger boxmen and the practice seems
to have born fruit.
Wilbert Robinson, now manager of
the Brooklyn Dodgers, for several
years acted in this capacity, and the
development of Rube Marquard, the
wild and unruly, to the brilliant south
paw he became was big feather in
Uncle Wilbert's cap. Moran is the same
type of man as Robbie, and unquestion-
ably if there are any new Marquards
concealed about the pitching staff OF
the Giants they will be we'll handled.
Moran did wonders with the Phillies
the very first year he had them in
charge, sweeping through to pennant.
The sale of Alexander and Paskert.
however, demoralized the Quakertown
team and the showing it made last
year under war conditions was dis
couraging. 1t is safe to say, though,
that if any man could have pulled the
team out of the slough, it would have
been Moran, and this is with all due
respect to Jack Coombs, the new Phillie
manager.
McGraw can make fine use of Pat
rick, so let William F. Baker do the
worrying.

New York Giants Prove Best
Fielders i'm National League

The New York Giants, as everybody
knows, failed to win the pennant last
year, but according to the official aver
ages of the National League just re-
leased they did lead the league as
felders, so they have some consolation.
The fielding percentage compiled by Ihe
McGrawmen as q whole was $40. The
Pittsburgh Pirates and the champion
Chicago Cubs were tied for second
place, with mark of 1856.
The Cubs made the largest number
of put-outs. 1851, while the st. Louis
Cardinals led in assists and errors. the
number of the former being 1864 and
the latter 220.
Ed Konetchy, of the Boston Braves,
gained the stellar honors among the
first basemen, with the magnificent
average of 1922. Fred Merkle had the
largest quota of put-outs, 1888. and ac
cepted the most chances, 1,470. R.T.
Fisher, of the Cardinals, heads the
.977. George Cutshaw, Of the Pirates,
had the highest number Of put-outs and
assists of the guardians Of the key
stone sack, the figures being respec-
lively. 1923 and $685.
The third basemen are led by Heinie
Groh, of the Cincinnati Reds, average
800, this same player also having the
largest number of put-outs at the far
corner, 180 Red Smith, of the Braves,
made the most assists, 291, and errors,
35.
Our own Arthur Fletcher. tops the
shortstops, with an average of .959.
Bancroft, of the Phillies, made, the
most puS- S-outs 371, but Arthur had the
most assists, 4S4. Bancroft led in err
ors, with "a.
The outfelders participating in rs
games or more who are entitled to the
three leading positions. are Neale, of
the Reds, .9s1; Paskert, of the Cubs,
$50 and Zach Wheat, of the Dodgers,
.979. Killifer, of the Cubs, and
Schmidt, of the Pirates, lead the
catchers, with 1882 and 1881 respective
ly. Slim Sallee, Of the Giants, was one
of the few pitchers to maintain per-
feet fielding average.

Oh
Heydler Says
He's Satisfied
With Labors
Ban Johnson Refuses TO
Make Any Announce
ments Regarding League

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. S.-The
National League will formally open it's
season on April % in the cities of Bos-
ton, Philadelphia. Cincinnati and Chi
cago, but will precede this formal ope:,-
ing with games, morning and afternoon,
on Patriots Day, April 10, at Boston.
This announcement was made by
President John Heydler. of the Ma
tional League, following the compile
tion of the schedule by the Joint Amer
lean and National Leagues committees
to- day.
President Heydler added that the
season would close on September So
and that the schedule was very similar
to former schedules inasmuch as it
consisted Of what is known as three
, trips from West to East or vice versa.
me scnedule is very satisfactory"
continued President Heydler, There
but all of the rough matter was ironcd
out smoothly pe4 ce Nc .lnlsn~u.
President B. B. Johnson, of the
American League, would not officially
anonunce anything concerning the
opening date or the cities in which the
opening games in the American League
would take place. Baseball experts,
however, figured that if the National
League opened in Boston and Phila-
delphia in the East the American
League would open in New York
and Washington, provided the schedule
committee followed its usual procedure.
With the National League opc-lng
in Cincinnati and CHICAGO in the West
it was assured, the baseball men de-
clared, that the American League would
open IN st. Louis. Whether the Amer
leans would open in Cleveland or De-
trolt, however, was a debatable ques-
tlon even among the baseball experts.
1t was also ascertained that while
| the schedules were completed last
night they were not satisfactory,
and this caused the committees to meet
again to-day, when numerous changes
were made and worked upon until both
schedules proved satisfactory
The only comment that President
johnson would make was: "The Amer
lean League schedule is highly salts
factory, but it is not our custom to an
nounce any of the details whatever"

One-Year Rule
Revived by n. Y. U.
Athletic Officials

Frank H. Cam, director of athletics
at New York University, made pubic
yesterday afternoon the eligibility
rules which will govern athletics at the
Violet College for the ensuing year
The requirements which have held IN
former years will remain unchanged.
with but single important exception.
The complex problem of pre-war
eligibility was the cause of the dis
cussion BY the athletic council In yes
terdsy's conclave. After an hours de-
bate. it was decided that all men who
were students at the university. prev
ious to the organization of the
Student Army Training Corps, would
be eligible regardless of their former
scholastic standing.
This announcement was received with
great enthusiasm by the students at
the heights, as many of the prominent
athletes were behind in their studies
Que to wartime activities.
The one-year freshman rule. which
vas inaugurated at the Bronx institu-
tlon last year. but done away with this
fall during the existence of the S. A.
I. G., was revived at the meeting. This
rule met with great success when it
was tried in that it stimulated keener
interest in competitive athletics at the
Violet College than had ever existed
in the past.
New-York tribune., 1919-01-09
Ne'v Rules Agreed
To by Advisory
Committee Men

fiHST-That there be no indoor athletic
meeting in 1918, as called for by Article
AlV of the constitution.
s.Sl SSlECoND.That the annual track and
iieiu championship meeting, as called for
IN Article XIII of the constitution. be
held as usual. 0S
THlRD-That residence as a member of
the >. a. T. c. and thereafter without in
.erruption as a regular student in the uni
Versity or college whereat the same was
maintained shall be held to be a commit
ance with the requirements of paragraph
OF Article XXI of the constitution, which
aeaos as ioiiows No one shall represent
any member of the association as a COM
pesitor at any intercollegiate meeting who
mas not been student of that college or
university in good and regular standing
date of competition" w.
FOURTH-That one who. being regr-
lar student in good standing in any men,
Der of the association ct the time he en-
tered the military services of the United
States, returns to such university or college
and becomes regular student thereof pre-
vious to April l, 1919, shall be held to
have been in that good and regular stand
ing in such member of the association as
required by said paragraph of Article
-, 49, OF tne constitution, and also as re-
CURED by paragraph of said article not
withstanding that by reason of such abb
sence from his university or college he has
been dropped from his class into a lower
class or been transferred from one depart
ment thereof to another.
tlFVIH--That the one full calendar year
residence in any member of university,
as required by paragraphs 4, and 6 Of
said Article XXI, for those who have won
places place: in intercollegiate or open competi-
non be not required as a condition prece-
dent IN the 1919 championships.
The Fundamental idea underlying all Of
these proposed amendments, suspensions
or interpretations of the rules is that
neither last fall nor during the scholastic
year previous thereto did any one enter
any university or college, a member of
the I. c. A. A. A. A., primarily for the
purpose of athletics, and that therefore
there is no reason why any athlete should
be called upon to show his good faith by a
one-year residence. and also that all. or al
most all, of the universities or colleges,
members of the association, being upon
war basis, every one of age was of ne
cessity a member of the Students Army
Training Corps, and that membership
therein should be considered as equivalent
to being member in good standing of the
university college itself

Columbia to Open
Basketball Season
With Brooklyn Poly

Columbia's basketball schedule was
announced tentatively yesterday by
lowering Tyson, graduate manager Of
athletics. The list as it has been made
up consists of twelve games, nine of
which are with Intercollegiate League
teams. None of the so-called league
games have been ratified either by the
university athletic authorities or by
the league, so that they are not final,
but it is not believed that any radical
changes will be made.
Brooklyn Polytechnic will usher in
the season for the Blue and White to-
morrow night in a game on Morning
side Heights. 1t will be the first con-
test for Fred Dawson's five and will
give it an acid test for the games with
Cooper Union and ST. Johns College,
which are to be played next week, the
former on Wednesday afternoon and
the latter on Saturday night.
Columbia's first league game will be
with the University of Pennsylvania on
the Morningside Heights floor on Jan
uary 25. During the league series Co.
lumbia will meet Pennsylvania, Prince
ton, Yale and Cornell twice and Dart
mouth once. Princeton will be the at
traction at Columbia for the Alumni
Day game, on February -, and the
season will end with the Dartmouth
game, on March 4.
The schedule follows:

Golf Gossip

The first week in June has been Sc
lected by the St. Adams Golf Club as
the most desirable time to hold its an
nual golf invitation tournament. June,
in fact, is the best month in the year,
and as there are only four weeks in the
month for holding tournaments on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, there
will doubtless be a demand for the
spare dates in June, especially as Fox
Hills has its eye focused on the second
week.
Now that the Metropolitan Golf As
sociation has taken the iniative and re-
sumed all its championships for next
season, the golhng public is anxiously
awaiting the result of the annual meet
ing of the United States Golf Associa-
ton, which is to be held January "a at
the Waldorf. While it is believed the
big national events will be resumed. it
really all depends upon the voice of the
meeting; which might possibly be OBJ
jectionable.
Philip Carter, the well known expert
amateur golfer of the Nassau Country
Club, expects to take part ia many OF
the leading tournaments neNs summer.
he went to France about two gears ago
with the Ambulance Corps, and while

Soldier Students Eligible
If Committee Plan Carries
Advisory Body Also Takes
Up Question of Men in
Various S. A. T. C.'s

Recommendation that the annual
ousaoer track and field championships
,. bald this year is among the sugges-
tions mailed yesterday by the advisory
committee of the Intercollegiate Asso-
c;stion of Amateur Athletes of America
10 members of this organization.
In submitting this recommendation
and others Gustavus r. Kirby. Of Colum-
bia. the chairman of this body, which
also comprises Romeyn Berry, Cornell,
and Thornton Gerrish, Harvard, well
comes notifications of these proposals.
The suggestions as submitted are to
be presented at the meeting of the
executive committee, which convenes
on Sunday, January 26.
After the recommendations are acted
rpon they will be presented to the dele
gates at the annual meeting OF the
association, which will be held on
Saturday afternoon, March i.
The advisory committee, whose sug-
eestions are usually adhered to to the
letter, urges that all students who had
entered the service and returned to
their respective universities or colleges
before April be considered in good
standing as regards athletics.
The committee Also holds that a
student who has been a member of
ans. A. IT. C. and continues his studies
thereafter without interruption shall
be considered in good standing for in
tercollegiate sports.
The first recommendation calls for
the suspension of the annual indoor
canes. This step was suggested, no
doubt, by the fact that many of the
college athletes are still in the service
and others are not in proper condition
for these contests.
: In the letter to the various repre-
sentatives Mr.. Kirby emphatically
polnts out that the American morale,
chiefly due to athletics, did more to
bring about the victory of the Allies
shan any other force. "Morale is
uunch plus patriotism" says Mr.. Kirby.
@Competitive athletics brings out the
punch in the competitor and enhances
lovsltv to the team, university and to
country in the spectator"
It was the opinion of college officials
about town that the suggestions of the
advisory committee were justified.
There is little doubt but that the dele,
Gates to the national meeting Will
hack up the recommendations as
framed by the committee.

WHY Do You Vamp Me Thus?

Every night, when we enter the Of
fee and prepare to feed this little
column it's bottle of pasteurized milk,
we try to shed all thoughts Of the
outer world and concentrate on the
work in hand. We not only go into
the "silences," we go into the think
icss "silenccs." Boxing is primarily a
mans sport, although the women are
taking it up more and more every day,
and therefore we like to get into the
proper "abygmal brute" frame of mind
before running our fingers over the
typewriter keys.
But we are very discouraged and un-
easy, too, with vague fear Of some
thing, we know not what. 1t happens
every Wednesday night, this thing that
threatens TO wreck our peace of mind
and our New England conscience. Last
evening, for instance, we found many
photographs Of women on our desk.

And worse than this, there was a
lace handkerchief that must have been
