One of the most important amend
ments would provide that a college
holding membership in the l. c. A. A.
A. A. would not be dropped in case it
were not represented in the Z Ilar
track and cross-country chamb m
ships at least once in two consecutive
years.
Plans for Expansion.
This. it is explained, would open
the way for permanent membership
for such inytitutions as California
and Leland Stanford, on the Pacific
coast, and Michigan in the middle
west, which have competed in the
past, as well as the leading universe
ties of the south. southwest and the
Rocky mountain sections with stand
ard university eligibility rules.
Competition would hinge entirely
upon membership and conformity to
the 1. c. A. A. A. A. regulations and
eligibility code without compulsory
restrictions relative to continuity of
such competition.
That the adoption of such amend
ment might result in the 1922 cham
pionship games being held in the mid
die west is not unlikely. 1t is report
ed that the first step in this direction
will be made in the presentation OF
an invitation from the University of
Michigan to stage the titular meet at
Ann Arbor next May, or certainly not
later than 1923. Nominally the 1922
games would go to the University of
Pennsylvania in the ordinary alterna-
ton between Harvard and Pennsyi-
Vania.
Last years games were held in the
Harvard stadium, and were won by
the University of California by half a
point from Harvard. Pennsylvania
athletic authorities have stated, how
ever, that owing to the reconstruc-
ton of the Franklin Field stadium
this spring the usual invitation will
not be extended. Work will start I'M
mediately after the annual Pennsyl-
vania relay carnival. and the field will
not be suitable for further track COM
petition until next fall
Michigan Has Facilities.
The University of Michigan has an
up-to-date stadium and field which
compares favorably with the best in
the east The Wolverines have COM
peted many times in the eastern l. c.
A. A. A. A. meets, scoring well up
among the leaders. With California
holding the track and field title, won
last spring, it is thought that dele
gates to the meeting here in March
viii give far more than casual con-
Sideration to the invitation from
Michigan, should it be presented with
the sanction of the athletic council of
the Ann Arbor university.

Several managers have scoffed at
Bentley's ability to hold his own If
he should get into major league COM
pany. One of them, who is very
prominent as winning manager.
says Bentley is too slow and that he
has reached the zenith Of his career.
Line on His Ability.
The best measure of Bentley's
ability and resourcefulness can be
had by comparing him with Mueller,
who was placed in Syracuse in 1921
by the St Louis Nationals, which
own part of the Salt city club.
Mueller played in seventy-five games
in the International League with a
batting average Of 1862 against Bent
ley's 412 in 141 games. Deduct about
five points for natural wear and
tear If Mueller had been able to
play al games and some line can be
had on Bentley, Or go farther down
average of ISL in 12S games and an.
estimate can be formed in another
way. Hoblitzen is the Old Cincinnati
first basemen.
Mueller is one of the coming out
fielders of the National League. in
is fast, throws well and fields fairly
well and with the company which
he will have in st. Louis this year
is expected to make the outheld Tor
the Cards better than that Of New
York Nationals, which is notSa bit
improbable ST. Louis has not been
outf1eld strong for some time
Three weeks ago when Dunn was
present at the major league meetings
in New York, it was continually
rumored that he would dispose of
his players, but he did not do SO. If
he retains Bentley, to play for him
in 1922, 1t Is not probable that he
will be able to dispose of his services
in 1923 for anything like the sum
that has been offered.
Bentley is said to have announced
that he wants to get away from
be given a chance with the major
leagues. It is urged that II there
were a draft law he would have a
chance and very likely he might, but
Dunn never would let him go to the
draft He would transfer his ser
vices before the draft period arrived.
Not Sought I'm New York.
The story that either OF the New
York clubs had offered a huge sum
York Nationals have not forgotten
that Dunn let Ruth go to the Boston
Americans. They wanted him and
didn't get him. Perhaps Frazee Of
the Boston club might be induced to
enter the competition for Bentley II
him go elsewhere. Frazee took Ruth
from Baltimore and it was one of the
best moves that he ever made, al
though in the working out of the
problem by which Ruth got to New
York Frazee was thoroughly blessed
probably would hit in the neighbor-
hood Of 1915 in the major leagues II
he were not the recipient OF too
much managerial advice =,

INTERNATIONAL CLUB
MAY Be BOXING GUIDE
BY WALTER CAMP,

Although the International Sport
ing Club has been sliding down the
financial toboggan and has been in
great difficulties lately, the organi-
as a sort of guardian to boxing and
as a parent Of this art.
For a time it appeared that the
club might be able to surmount its
difficulties and save the property ac-
quired at the corner of 10th street
and Lexington avenue in New York
city. But last week the property.
which cost s750.000. was sold at auc-
ton for some $4,000.
1t Is now being proposed to or
ganize intercollegiate boxing and in
that event it will be doubly impor-
tant to have an organization such
as the International Sporting Club.
Some seventeen years ago Capt
Palmer E. Pierce of West Point saw
a vision and converted small group
Of colleges outside the older insti-
buttons to his belief in an association.
Today, largely through his leader
ship, the National Collegiate Athletic
Association embraces nearly every
college of prominence and has done
much to correct abuses, not by edict.
but by interchange Of ideas and
sporting leadership. And now the
politics begin. Those who have
power anu us use COtct inc COH-
troll OF the association. They were
held in check at the December meet
ing, but they may be expected to try
again.
Soon after the middle Of January
the Washington and Jefferson foot
ball players will be given a great
banquet at home at which they will
receive the we'll deserved honors for
holding California to a scoreless tie
at Pasadena. The occasion will be
one of the, greatest in tho history
Of the institution.
Skating Kinks will rejoice in the
news that Oscar Mathieson of Nor
way, international speed champion,
is sailing for these shores. Americans
may be assured of some grand races
when he meets Bobby Mclean and
other Of our professional speedsters.

v. AND N. FIVE HERE
TO PLAY TWO GAMES

Gallaudet's basket ball players will
do some scouting tonight at the Coli
scum. They will be At hand to watch
the game between William and Mary
and George Washington that will fol-
low the contest between the Congress
Heights Yankees and an all-star Bal
timore five, starting at s o'clock, for
tomorrow the Kendall Greeners will
open their home season against the
Indians. The engagement at Gallau-
Diet will be decided in the afternoon,
beginning at 4:30.
The Kendall Greeners have met two
college opponents this season and
have lost each time, but believe they
have strengthened sufficiently to give
William and Mary a good argument
They expect to open play with La Foun-
tain and Seipp at forwards, Baynes at
center and Danofsky and Wallace at
guards. James Hughes will referee.
William and Mary is hoping to turn
the tables on the Hatchetites tonight.
Last year the Indians We're drubbed
in their game here, but with vet
eran combination to send against
George Washington on this occasion
they are rather confident of success.
The locals will not be caught nap
ping, however for they have not un-
derestimated the strength of the Wis
itors and will put strong quint on
the floor.
GeorgetOwn's team for it's opening
game with st. Joseph's of Philadelphia

by Capt. Joe O'Connell. who has been
acting as coach during the Illness of
John O'Reilly, regular tutor. O'Reilly's
condition has improved to such an ex-
tent that he has been removed from
Georgetown Hospital to his home and
his physicians declare it. will not be
long before the veteran coach is able
to resume his duties. O'Reilly has
been i'll since Thanksgiving day and
at one time his condition was quite

BURKETT MAY co BACK
TO COLLEGE COACHING

NEW YORK, January 10-Jesse
Burkett. the old-time Cleveland and
ST. Louis slugger. who was attached
to the Giants as coach and scout
last year. may not return to the
world champions for the 1922 season.
After many years of successful
coaching at Holy Cross College,
Burkett came back to his old love,
the majors. and now is considering
an offer made by Boston College
McGraw said today that Burkett
was welcome to remain with the
Giants, as he was considered a val
liable part of the veterans corps, of
which Cozy Dolan. and Hughie Jen-
nings are the other members.
If Burkett accepts the Boston COL
1ege berth. John Evers. who was the
Giants nemesis while a member of
the Cubs, may have a place on Nc
Graw's board of strategy.

BRENTWOOD IS STRONG
SUPPORTER OF SPORTS

It is doubtful if there are many
towns of similar size that so en-
Enthusiastically support athletics and
turn out such clever teams regularly
as Brentwood, Md.
For the last several seasons the
Brentwood base ball team has been
among the strongest hereabouts. Out
of some thirty games played only two
or three We're lost. In foot ball, too.
Brentwood had good team, but base
ball is the towns big game.
Brentwood has an athletic field on
the Observation-Disclosures boulevard
near the District line, which is now
one of the best in this vicinity.
In addition to the senior base ball
and foot ball teams, Brentwood and
its neighboring town, Mount Rainier,
boast several fast kid teams Nota-
BILE among these is the Mount Rainier
Yankees nine, which for the last few
seasons has pointed the way to many
of the best juvenile clubs in and about
Washington.

BIG TRIO OF j. S. GOLF
TO ENTER BRITISH OPEN

NEW YORK. January 1o.-More
reason than merely playing the win
ter courses and giving exhibitions is
keeping Walter Hagen and Jim
Barnes busy over the links. Both Of
them expect to go abroad in 1922
and take another fling at tho British
open championship. Jock Hutchison
almost surely will cross the Atlantic
to defend his title and with these
three in the British competition the
open event will be represented by
the best Of the United States players,
no matter whether as representative
a delegation makes the journey to
play in the amateur.
Barnes and Hutchison have had
some hard games on their tour along
the Pacific coast and have more to
into an unreasonable and record
breaking snow and practically had to
abandon their important matches,
travelling on to the latitude of San
Francisco before they could find golf
ing weather.
Barnes writes that he is gradually
getting into his game as he becomes
better accustomed to the climate.
The quality Of the courses differs
from the turf to which he is ac-
custOmed about the metropolitan dis
trict and the east and he is not quito
up to the game that he played for
the championship at Washington, but
he is anxious to keep going moder-
ately all Of the season so that he can
start successfully in the spring. He
is not fearful Of becoming stale.
J. F. Byers, who will be the new
president of the United States Golf
Association, is reported to be favor
able to. the restoration of the stymie
in the rules. An overwhelming ma
Ijority of the golfers of prominence
with whom he communicated advo-
Gated the restoration Of the stymfe.
All substitute rules are asserted to
have failed after a fair trial.
