TANKS ANNOUNCE TRAIN
ING PLANS.

Inter-league games seem to
have become an established
custom with a number OF ma
jor league clubs. In the last
three or fou- years there has
been a great awakening in the
south as far as baseball is con-
cerned. Major league clubs
who always lost money on
training trips. have shown
goodiy profit Of late. The base
ball fans in the south like to
see teams from the rival major
leagues clash. The New York
Yankees have just announced
they will play a five-game series
with the st. Louis Cardinals in
the spring and in all probability
10-game series with the
Brooklyn Nationals.

FREE HITTING
rs HARD BLOW
TO BASE WORK

What was the matter with base
running in 1921:
Has the science of getting the
jump on the pitcher, thereby en-
abling the runner to beat the throw
A glance at he major league rec
ords of last season reveals the fact
that there was mighty little base
running. Players who three or four
years back stole as many as so
bases, didn't reach the double fig
ures last summer.
While the records make it seem
that the ball players are slowing
up. such is not the case. The fall
ing off in base running has simply
been due to the conditions that now
exist and the style game that IS
row being used.
Last season the stolen base idea
was practically shelved. Because of
the lively ball, it was figured the
hit and run was a much better
game to play. One run didn't mean
much in 1921. The steal and the
sacrifice is the one-run idea of
baseball. The hit and run gets
them in clusters if successful. That
is the big reason for the falling
of in the base-running records.
The lively bail and the great de-
sire to emulate the deeds of Babe
Ruth, who became the idol of the
world because of his ability to hit
bone runs, is the other explana-
ton. Those who scout the idea of
the lively ball, need only go back
10 years in the records. That sea-
son-1911-Frank Baker led the
American league in home runs with
nine. He was called Home Run"
Baker. This season Babe Ruth led
the American league with SO.
Ty Cobb led the American league
in stolen bases with SO in 1911.
Seven other players stole more
than 40 bases and six players more
than 80. The lively ball and the
hit and run, not lack of speed on
the part of the players, tell the
story Of the decline in base run
ming.

FORD WANTS NEWBERRy'
DROPPED FROM SENATE
Does Not Want Seat Himself,
But Wishes Congress to
Clean House.

Washington, Sept. 27--In a tele-
gram yesterday to Senator Dillingham;,
Chairman of the Committee on Privi-
leges and Elections, Henry Ford OF
Detroit said he did not desire to be
sateo as a Senator, even If his contest
against Senator Truman II. Newberry
81. Id be decided in his favor, but he
did expect the Senate ito clean its own
skirts by ousting Newberry. IL the
Senate did not do so, the telegram
said, am appeal would be made TO the
country.
Mr.. Ford explained he had not cared
to run for Senator and accepted the
Democratic nomination only upon
the earnest solicitation of the country's
Chief Executive in time of war;" and
he did not spend dollar in the cam
paign.
The majority and minority reports
of the Committee on Privileges and
Elections, which has been investigat-
ins the charges of Mr.. Ford that Seii1-
tor Newberry's election was procured
by corruption, are ready. and 1t IL sx-
pected that they will be presented TO
the Senate tomorrow. Indications are
that the majority OF the committee
will vindic@te Newberry and that the
minority will hold that his seat should
be declared vacant.
Mr.. Ford's teles am to Senator Dill
ingham follows:
II Lave noticed from recent news
paper reports that there is a deter
n1ination on the part OF some Senators
to clear Mr.. Nawberry OF the charges
of corruption and illegal use of money
in the Senatorial election of 1918, and

ate was valid, Notwithstanding the
Overwhelming evidence to the con-
trary.
I'm order that the approaching vote
in the Senate may be limited to the
great issue involved, wish the Sena-
tors to know that l have no desire 70
be seated in Mr.. Newberry's place. The
Office holds no inducement for me, nor
do aspire to IL. / agreed TO accept
the nomination if rendered to me only
