Coach Disch believes that II his men

This handicap has been greatly over

quiz and lecture was given TO the try
outs and old members OF the squad,
and I was surprised to see that the
majority OF those present had an apt
knowledge Of baseball What hope
now is that they can play as well as
they con talk This, however, can
not be learned until after few weeks
Of practice. If the weather viii per

brothers in the majors. No club would

Griffth's plan would not be n
profitable for the major leagues

would help the minors. help the
players and go n long way to-
ward making the baseball public

NEW YORK. Jan 22.-Clark Grit-

baseball reforms which would be
great benefit to the game II they
could only be put over.
Griffith says that organized ball in
both major and minor leagues, could
be governed by three rules-the re-
serve rule. the draft rule and the
waiver rule He believes the reserve
rule is sufficient TO protect the prop
erty rights Of the club owner, the
draft rule necessary to insure the ad-
vancement OF the player. and the
waiver rule needed to protect the
club owner and the player at the same
time.
Under Griffs method OF running the
game the minor leaguers would
abandon trying TO make ends meet
by selling players. more players
would be drafted and more players
turned back to the minors. who only

College men familiar with the push

contest between the SIND field ar

Of the best exhibitions Of pushball

During the first two games the bali
was raised high IN the air and pushed
along towards the goals frequently. In
the last game there seemed to be a
tendency Of both teams to shove a
player up on the globe when the op-
position started TO raise it. resulting
in not a few players being yanked off
the ball. Late in the game two play
ers from opposing teams faced each
other on top the ball struggling for
supremacy for nearly three minutes
while the ball was carried back and
