TIGER OARSMEN AT WORK.
Princeton's Prospects for Good Sea
son Are Bright.

PRINCETON. n. J.. January 90
Since the reopening of the university
after Christmas holidays much progress
has been made in the work of Prince
tons varsity and freshman crews. A
large squad has been reporting at the
machines in the gymnasium, consisting
of about eighty-six men, ffty-four of
whom are candidates for the varsity
crew and thirty-two for the 1923 eight.
Coach Fitzpatrick stated that there
is an abundance of good material for
both squads, and that the prospects
for turning out good crews next spring
are very bright. AS yet no definite
selection of crews has been made, but
a varsiety and a junior eight will prob
ably be made up within a few days.
1t has been definitely decided to en-
ter the 1923 crews in the Childs cup
race at Philadelphia, but it is doubtful
whether the freshmen will be taken to
Cambridge to row against the Harvard
freshmen eight on May 1. In the opin-
ion of the coaches this would be too
hard a race for such an early period
in the season. The junior varsity
will probably take this trip instead of
the freshmen. The latter will meet
Central High of Philadelphia and
Choate School

WILL FIGHT FOR RACING
Maryland Legislators Ready for
Move to Abolish Betting
at the Tracks.

BALTIMORE, Md. January 20
Members of the senate and house OF
delegates are awaiting move, which
they know is sure to come, against
betting at the race tracks in Mary
land. One thing is certain, the MEM
bers favorable to the tracks are all
set for any measure that might show
up, and they mean to fight them to
the finish.
Rev. w. w. Davis, who leads these
fights at every session against bet
ting, has not confided his plans to
members AS far as their knowledge
goes the Hughes New York Jaw will
again make it's appearance at Annapo-
lis, and when it does come along a
lively scrap will begin.
The Hughes law prohibits any or
ganized betting at race tracks, and
forbids the use of any betting ma
chimes or any system of making books
or the operations of bookmakers.
But it does not prevent betting by
any manner of means. Oral wager
ing. according to men well versed in
legal lore, cannot be legislated
against.
What the Hughes law is said to
really prevent is the exercise of any
supervision over wagering by the Of
ficialS of the tracks or any attempt
on the part of the officials to protect
the public from unscrupulous book
makers.
| Should any real attempt be made in
either branch Sf the Maryland legis-
lature to pass Che Hughes law in any
form it will be vigorously opposed. as
m members of both houses are planning
to assess high license fee on the
tracks in this state, and thus obtain
| for the state hundreds of thousands
| of dollars each season which the
bookmakers would get under the
Hughes law, and which the tracks
now in the state get through the pari-
mutuel machines.
! A state racing commission, to be
. appointed by the governor. is also
planned, and which the racing people
| want. Gov. Ritchie is said to be
| favorable to the tracks, provided the
| state is benefited.

a clearing house for the interchange
of IDEAS on athletic management, and
gradually the larger colleges have
come into it For some years it ap-
pointed representatives to the foot
ball committees, who then amalga-
mated with representatives from
Harvard. Yale, Princeton, Pennsyl-
vania, Cornell, Chicago and Annapo-
lis which formed the old rules COM
mittee. The committee was thus
raised from seven to fourteen. and
annually, up to a year or two ago,
the two committees came together
and amalgamated. But there were
two distinct bodies of seven. The
last two or three years this collie
giate association has named all the
members of the rules committee. BY
thus gradually shaping its policy
along the lines of fuller recognition
and yet making no undue use Of the
power which was gradually being
acquired the association has become
a very strong influence for correct
ing abuses in the college athletic
world, and, If maintained in it's in
teyyrity and kept clear of politics, it
should go still farther.

When a serious accident befalls a
base runner. what is the proper course
for the umpire to take? Should he
suspend play. or must he wait until
all action ceases when one or more
felders are injured in making a play
on a batted or thrown ball?
An unusual play came up In a
minor league game last summer that
caused a rumpus. The umpire in
charge rendered the proper decision.
but lot of people at the game didn't
think SO. and they made things rather
unpleasant for the official. With a
runner on second. said player at
who always slid head first, beat the
throw to third with considerable to
spare. In sliding head first he came
into contact with the third baseman
in such a way that momentarily he
was rendered unconscious. It was
successfully. In so doing. however.
he oversiid the bag several feet, due
no doubt to the fact that he had
been completely knocked out by the
collision The third baseman, to make
things look worse. muffed the throw,
the ball rolling eight or ten feet
away. The coacher At third was
powerlesa II he assisted in getting
the runner back to third It meant
the runner would be called out for
such an act, that being regarded az
Interference on the part OF tho coach
er. He could only look on the play in
q helpless sort Of fashion Recovering
the ball. the third sacker rushed
back to the base and touched the
runner with the ball. said runner be-
ing about two feet from the base at
the time. The umpire called the
runner out
At once all the players rushed over
to third base, as 1t was apparent the
runner had suffered an injury that
made It impossible for him to regain
possession Of the base. The crowd be-
gan to realize what had happened.
They couldn't see any fairness or
justice in the ruling Of the umpire
that the runner was out. To most OF
them 1t seemed he should have sus-
pended play the moment 1t became
certain to him the runner had been
rendered unconscious.
While 1t may seem lacking in 5udg-
ment, and not in accordance with the
ethics Of good sportsmanship. there
