Miller Hugglns Has Gone
From One Extreme to
Another
By SID MERCER.

NEW YORK. Dec. 22.-If you can
believe all you hear. Miller Higgins
has gone from one extreme to the
other and is endeavoring to corral
a team of ieft-hsnded pitchers. The
latest rumor singles out Herbert
Pennock, Of the Boston Red Sox. Any
player employed by H. Frazee. II Is
assumed. 10 exposed to the Yankee
draft.
Z Mr.. Fraxee, when questioned on
this subject yesterday as he sat in
his palatial Broadway offices. replied
with his blankest stare:
Those are matters for my man
ager, Mr.. Chance, to decide" he
said. IF he thinks he can get q
player from the Yankees who ID
worth moro to us than Pennock he
has my permission to make the
deal. At present Mr.. Chance Ia
somewhere between Chicago and Los
Angeles. so I don't believe he in
tends to present Pennock to any
body as q Christmas Offering"
Pennock ranked twenty-fifth among
American League pitchers In games
won and lost last season. He pitched
in fifteen full games, but appeared
in seventeen others. He was cred.
tied with winning and losing seven
teen decisions. Opposing batsmen
averaged 4.32 runs per game off his
pitching. but 1t must be remembered
that Pennock had poor support from
q team of tail-enders.
He was one Of the numerous
pitchers developed by Connie Mack.
and went to the Red Sox In trade
several years ago.
Pennock has the distinction OF
being the only left-handed pitcher
that Babe Ruth ever socked for two
home runs in one day. Ruth ac-
complished this feat ut the Polo
Grounds in 1921.

COACHES MA !
Be kept IN
STANDS
Rule to Be Presented At
Coming Meeting Of
} Committee.

II 10 clear today that at least
one important change In the foot.
ball rules will be forcefully sug-
gested at the forthcoming meeting
Of the rules committee. -
The proposal will involve the
relegation Of coaches from the side
lines to the stands. Quarterbacks,
or captains, will be asked to as
sumo full responsibility for the
conduct OF games. Duties Of the
coaches will be regarded a. ful.
filled when teams have left the
field after the last practice preced-
Ing 4 contest.
One Of the most important i'm.
pressions received by those who
saw in the West and South was
this tendency toward placing foot
ball games absolutely In the hands
Of thoss who are participating in
them.
It seemed as though II would re-
quirs but little impetus to push the
faculty authorities Of the wesern
Conference ino q position definitely.
II not militantly, favorinE the elimi-
nation OF coaches influence on the
field Of play.

Fewer Defaults In
Davis Tennis Cup
Competition

The change In the Davis Cup
program for next year, with its
geographical groups, WIN mean
q new interest in the event, be-
cause it will result in fewer de-
faults by challenging nations.
The heavy expense of transpor-
tation Of Davis Cup teams has
necessitsted frequent defaults in
this worldwide event.
Under the new system many
Of the necessary trips will be
eliminated. The change means
that the entry next season will

It's An Old Story.

It's An Old Story.
IT'S an old story, this fight of
the larger minor leagues
against the draft system. It
is based largely upon the scale Of
prices and the minor leagues have
considerable argument on their
side.
The minors say they have their
teams disrupted year after year
and never get enough money for
their players with which to buy
new ones. That's . mere matter
Of money and should be arranged
amicably.
The majors, paying the largest
salaries and keeping promising
players under option on various
minor league clubs, claim they
pay enough for untried players.
Furthermore, many . club would
fail TO win its pennant but for the
assistance IL receives from some
major league club.
The majors seem to have the
rebellious minors on the hip right
now with their new rule. They
cannot send any player intA al
most certain minor league cap
tivity. Unless the players going
back for experience have oppor-
tunities to rise again, they cannot
60 back. ~.
II the majors can't keep these
men, they may release them out
right. In that case there would
be Q scramble among the minors
Tor their services, for the minors
are sadly In need Of players worth
trials by the majors. One year Of
scrambling would bankrupt most
minor league clubs
The question 10 yet to be set
tied. Meanwhile, the majors have
khe whip hand, even though Jack
Dunn may not think 10.

interesting. Vernon has Jake
May, winning southpaw pitcher.
Vernon has Q chance to sell May
to the New York Yankees in .
deal sending to the Coast League
five players. Vernon needs those
five players more than it needs
the lone pitcher, May.
Unless Vernon is willing to
have any or all Of the five former
Yankees drafted, the Yankees are
forbidden to doom the quintet to
the bushes for the rest Of their
baseball careers. Sure, Vernon
might sell one or oil five for large
sums, but the chances are remote.
On the other hand. the players
stand more chance of getting
back into the majors il subjected
to the draft.
81 won't stand for the draft"
says Jack Dunn. "If McGraw
sends me four players they'll be
my property. I'll keep them as
long as wish. They'll not be
taken from me without my con-
sent for any stock price agreed
upon by the major leagues"
For IN Example.
TT is well to take . single
player to show the system.
- Take John Jones, for instance,
signed by Clark Grifath for .
trial.
Jones goes to Tampa and cav
orts and eats and sleeps and does
his best to make the grade. II is
apparent, though, that John needs
more experience, he needs it
badly.
A Baltimore scout takes . look
at John and says: ",We're willing
to give Jones . trial. Wen take
him in part payment for Smith. |"
Jones goes to Baltimore, and,
strange as Il may appear, makes
good in his first trisl in Q Class
IA circuit. He ID 30 good, we'll
say, that Jack Dunn decides to
keep him. Oh, yes; he gets some
stiff Offers for Jones, but nothing
like $4,000 or 100000. He re-
tains Jones.
Jones continues to play with
Baltimore another year. Not
being with q major league outfit,
there is much he fails to learn.
He 10 just a good minor Lacquer
and, as long As Jack Dunn holds
him, that's all he ever will be.
Under the Draft.
IF Jones Is subject to the draft,
his case would be something
- like this.
After his first year, half q
dozen scouts would have reported
him worth looking over again. By
lot he would 70 to one of their
clubs, say, to Washington again.
Back to Tampa. would 60 Jones
and right into the lineup. He
would get the necessary coaching
and the chance TO measure his skiil
against major leaguers with ad-
vantaus to himself.
One day he would see his picture
