New York, March 1-The probabil- ity of an American team competing for the Olympic tennis championship at Antwerp next summer received severe setback today when word was received from Belgiltn that the date of the tournament could not be chang ed. The Belgian Olympic committee in its cable to the Amo rican commit tee stated that the courts would not be ready for play before August.
 The cable was in answer to re- quest from the AmS ican Olympic committee and the United States Lawn Tennis association that Ae date of the tennis tournament be moved forward from August 15-23 10 the week begin ming July 5th. If the change could have been made the American team, which is expected to play in the Eng fish championships late in June, would have gone to Antwerp for the Olympic matches. Competition by the first string players of the United States on the August dates named is impossible . owing to the at.onal championships which begin abou, the same time.

Major Leaeuers in Luck.

A trifle over 400 major league ball players, including quite a few who won't be major leaguers very many weeks, will be on their way to Dixie within a very few hours.
 There was a day when each man ager expected to find at least two or three promising candidates in his list of youngsters, but this season the number of recruits who will bresk through the barrier will be far below the average.
 There seems to be a case of stand pat all through both leagues, largely for the reason that new talent has be- come extremely scarce, much after the manner of everything else except strikes and rent raises.
 Which reminds us how lucky these 400 are. Think what it would mean to nation if every citizen could take the month of March off to get in fine physical shape for the big drive ahead

earliest American decoration. How ever, it applied at that time only to enlisted men of the navy. In the fol- lowing year enlisted men of the army were included, and by an act approved March 3, 1883, it's provisions were ex- tended to include officers in the army, but naval officers were not eligible for this decoration until 1915.
 "The conditions under which the army Medal of Honor may be award ed have been changed from time to time. Today the law provides that:
 " The president is authorized to present in the name of congress, a Medal of Honor only to each person who, while an officer or enlisted man of the army, shall hearafter, in action involving actual conflict with an en- emy, distinguish himself conspicuous ly by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life, above and beyond the call of duty.
 "The Distinguished Service Medal the American decoration which is sec ond only to the Medal of Honor, car be awarded by the president to any person who, while serving in any cap acity with the army of the United States, shall distinguish himself ol herself by specially meritorious ser vice to the government in duty ol great responsibility. The Disting- uished Service Medal for the navy i: awarded under exactly the same con ditions as for the army and was es tablished by act of congress in Feb ruary, 1919.
 Tt should be noted that the service to be rewarded with this decoration l do not have to be rendered at tn front, much less in action, the require ment of great responsibility being tn l governing factor. It was intended t
 be used in the same way as the Le zion of Honor of France and othe
 similar orders with which Europea,
 countries reward the great leaders 0 their military and naval forces.
 'The institution of the Distinguishe Service Medal in the army of the Unit

ORIGIN OF AMERICAN
 MILITARY DECORATIONS

In view of the current discussion in congress concerning the awards made by the American government for dIs- tinguished services and acts of hero ism dur-rg the world war, .he Nation al Geographic Society has issued the following bulletin giving the history of the three army awards now bestow- ed and setting forth the circumstances under which they are given:
 Tn nearly all the countries which are included under the term of great powers decorations for distinguished service rendered to the state take pre- cedence over those awarded for acts of valor, this on the theory that the services of statesmen, generals and other public men high in the councils of the nation are of more importance and therefore deserve higher reward than do individual acts of gallantry on the battlefield" says the bulletin which is based on communication tC The Society by Col Robert E. Wyille U. S. A.
 "The exceptions to this rule are Great Britain and the United States in both of which countries the primary valor decoration takes precedence over all others, and it is worthy of note tha1 the standards set for these two awards are not only higher than in any othel country by they are also more rigor. ously applied.
 Awards of the Victoria Cross (Bri tish) and the Medal of Honor (Ameri can) are so rare and so pealousl! Y guarded that they are undoubtedly tn two highest honors which can be be slowed for valor and this may serv to explain why they are placed frs II in their reSpectiye countries contrar to the custom of all others. An addi tional resemblance is that neither i ever bestowed on foreigner. Tn Victoria Cross is limited to Britis subjects by royal decree; ip the cas of the medal of honor, there is no lay prohibiting its award to a foreigner but it has never been done, and GUS
 tom is sometimes more potent tha
 acts of congress.

BILL DOAK NOT IN FAVOR
 OF NEW SPITBALL RULE

Bill Doak, duly listed by Manager Branch Hickey as one of the three spitball pitchers on the Cardinals, has been interviewed at some length by a baseball writer in his home town of Pittsburgh. The burden of Bills talk is that he's not crossing bridges until he gets to them and that he will let 1921-when spitballing finally goes out of fashion-take care of itself.
 I'm not the only National league pitcher who gets a hard wallop by the new ruling-there are others, many who cannot throw as good a curve ball as myself In fact I believe that Dick Rudolph is the only so-called spitball pitcher who could get by this season if the new ruling went into effect at once. Rudolph has beautiful change of pace, wonderful control, a good curve and invariably oStguesses the batter" said Doak.
 T know what I am going to do this summer-Im going to try and develop my curve ball, for without the splitter [ am helpless, unless I can toss up a l good curve. Then again I know the weaknesses of almost every batter in 1 the National league and you can bet l that in 1921 I won't be throwing the | ball where bats are swinging.
 i T am sorry they saw fit to abolish the spitball-it's going to put some of us fellows out of business, but they haven't got me yet, and l refuse to be | discouraged
 The subject of the emery and shine ball was introduced, and Doak's inter ! viewer inquired about Hod Eller, the
 Reds hurling ace, said to possess a shine ball that was almost unhittable.
 'Is it true that Filler depends entire ly upon his shine ball for effective
 ness?" I inquired of Doak, who replied He. does and he doesn't-I'n say
 one thing for Filler, he has the sinner
 down pretty pat, but then he also uses
 a good curve and has a lot of speed
 I don't think the new ruling will both
 CT him a whole lot.
 "Eller's shine ball was the scanda
 of the league, especially in Cincinnati where he got away with murder . Right near the pitching box at Red land field was a patch of cinders- Eller would walk over, pick up feV
 cinders, place them in the palm of hi!
 glove and rub the ball just enough t
 scratch the surface-then a few dab on his pants to shine up the othe side, and how that old horsehide woult 1 whistle through the air-take weir little dips and slants as it came up t the plate-I don't see how any catche { was ever able to hold hime."

 Rails and affiliated equipments were one 10 three points higher at the open ing. but this advantage was speedily forfeited when pressure against high priced specialties was renewed This was most marked in General Motors, Crucible Steel and Leathers, where reactions ranged from 2 to 12 points.
