TOday'S Sport Angle

Directors of athletics in colleges
throughout the country are taking
some hot shots at professionalism in
sports.
First came Knute Rockne, the fa-
nous Notre Dame coach. Through
the intrigues of professional football
promoters, Rockne lost three of his
star players.
After the close OF the football sea-
son, a Western promoter. anxious to
win a big game on which much
money was wagered, induced three
Notre Dame stars to play under as
sumed names.
The affair became known, the
players confessed and We're expelled
from athletics. Rockne, however,
had lost three of his stars and didn't
like it. He came out with a state

COBB HAS CHANCE
TO.EQUAL RECORD

Ty Cobb the coming season will
have chance to equal another base
ball record that was expected TO
stand for all time.
Hans Wagnes passed out Of the
National league in 1913. He left be-
hind a record of having batted 800
or better for II years.
L.aJoie, for II years, kept Wagner
company. but Larry fell by the way
side in 1907, when he was point shy.
Cobb, the only player who figured
to have a chance, has stuck to the
snip. For Is years Cobb has been in
the charmed circle.
If he can hit 300 in 1922 he will
have tied Wagner's record. During
his career Cobb's low mark was .s2O
in 1906. his first year as a 800 hitter.
There is every reason to believe
that Cobb viii not only equal but
surpass Wagners record.

flayed the same feature, also the

Perhaps Yosts feelings in the mat

Ernie Eek, his all-American center.
Wick is as big a star on the dia-
mond as the gridiron. He was ex-

A news item says Wick has signed
with the St. Louis Cardinals of the
National league, has quit his studies
in the medical school and intends tc
so on the spring training trip.
Branch iSickey, who signed George

DO some pitchers suffer as re-
suit OF being over coached?
am inclined to think that some
pitchers are really handicapped as
result Of being handed too much So
called wise advice.
When a pitcher comes to a major
league club. he usually has a num-
ber Of rough spots that must be
polished off before he becomes a
sure -enough big Lacquer.
These faults are of various kinds.
A great many pitchers are unable to
hold the base runners closely. which
permits them to run wild.
With runners on the bases pitch
ers must change their style almost
entirely. Very often when a pitcher
is compelled to shorten UP his de-
livery in order to hold the runners
closely to the bases. he loses much
of his effectiveness.
Nine out of ten pitchers need at
tention in this respect Usually some
of the veteran pitchers or catchers in
struct the youngsters in the proper
way to correct such fault.
A great many pitchers suffer from
lack of control. They discover that
the big league hitters wait the pitch
ers out a great deal more than is
customary in the minors. Balls that
minor league players hit at are passed
up by the keen eyed big leaguers.
Control as a rule can be acquired
by diligent effort. In some cases,
lack of control is largely caused by
an improper stride on the part of the
pitcher. Every now and then one
bumps into pitcher with a world
Of stuff, with whom control is an un-
known quantity.
I have IN mind Grover Lowdermilk
as a right handler, and Harry Harper
as a left-hander. / have never
worked back of a pitcher who had
more stuff than Lowdermilk. Like
wise I have worked back of few
wilder pitchers. Lowdermilk has been
in and out OF the majors a half dozen
times. Managers knew he had the
stuff and kept hoping he would sud-
denly acquire control. He never did
as a big Lacquer.
Harry Harper has suffered
throughout his major league career
because of his inability to get the
ball over. Harper was constantly
changing his style. For a week he
would side-arm, then he would shift
to an overland delivery. then back
to side-ar1n.
Last fall Harper looked better than
ever in his career. While not a
Christy Mathewson on control. he
wasn't always in the holc.
Harper told me Huggins had told
him to decide on a style and stick
to it, ignore all suggestions. He says
that's the dope with him during the
rest of his career 1t will be inter-
esting to see what luck he has in
1922.

MONKEY BUSINESS.

In defense Of his stand against the teaching of bio
logical science in general and Darwinism in particu-
lar, Mr.. W. J. Bryan defies anyone to "make a monkey
out of him"
Surely no one would try, Mr.. Bryan. Doubtless the
priests who wished to burn GaIileo as a hereto be-
cause he said the world was round and moved, in face
of their assertion that it was stationary and flat, de-
fed the Italian, or anyone else, to make monkeys out
of them, walking on a round earth, sometimes upside
down.
One recalls with some pleasure the mathematics
proof which Professor Simon Newcombe, unquestion-
ably one of Americas greatest scientists, adduced to
show the impossibility of a man ever flying in a heay-
ier-than-air machine. Doubtless he considered that
anyone who tried to prove to the contrary would be
making a monkey out of him!
Yet, somehow, the world was round and did and
does move, and men did and do fly in heavier-than-air
machines, and somehow even the voice of the distin-
guished Democrat, crying in the wilderness, does not
appear sufficiently virile to remove from books, libra
ries, schools, or mems minds the truths which Darwin
first gave an astonished world and which, in our pres
ent knowledge of evolution, form the basis of much
of biology.
