High Brothers May
Rival Delehantys
In Major Leagues

The High brothers may equal the
record of the Delehanty family, which
contributed four brothers to the ma
jors.
Three of the family have already
graced the big show, and a fourth
brother now in school hopes to keep
the family name of High in promi-
nent place on the sport page.
Hughie High. the oldest brother,
formerly with Detroit and New York
in the American league, is now with
Vernon in the Pacific Coast league.
He Is through as far as the majors
are concerned.
Andy High, second Of the noted
family, is with the Brooklyn club
He is a thiTd baseman and hopes to
some day suppiant Jimmy Johnston
at that position for the Dodgers.
Charlie, the youngest. had brie
trial with the Athletics. He is now
with Portland in the Pacific North
west league
Despite the fact that Charlie tar
ried only short while with tn
Athletics In the big show, his tw
older brothers insist he is the bes,
player in the family. Charlie is only
20.
Hughie and Charley are outfielt
ers. Andy started out as a guardian.
OF the distant pastures, but early de-
cided that he preferred the infield.
Both Hughie and Andy are shoI
in stature but Charley is a six
footer.

There are some who believe in al
ways standing pat in sport.
If everybody was that way none Of
the various branches Of sport would
make much progress.
Improvement can only be brought
about by experiment. II some sug-
gestion that seems worth while is
make to improve baseball. football,
or any other sport, 1t must be given
a trial before its value can be de-
termined.
When the foul strike rule was in
augurated in baseball 1t was ridi-
culed. 1t was a bold experiment.
Many claimed II would make a joke
out of the game. Yet the foul strike
rule has done much to speed up the
national pastine.
The coming of the forward pass in
football was ridiculed even more thai
the foul strike in baseball. The old
tinlers said 1t was turning the grid
iron game into an outdoor BASKETBALL
contest.
It was a mighty daring experiment,
yet no rule has tended more to pop :
Glarize football than the one thas
governs the forward pass. 1t opened
up the game, gave the spectators a
chance to more closely follow the ac-
tion.
Football began to make rapid
strides in popular favor directly after
the introduction of the forward pass.
Football Rules Committee Hopes
Changes Will Improve the Game
Recently the football rules COM
mitee made a number OF minor Ano
several rather important changes.
Fer years football coaches and ex-
perts have agreed that the goal after
touchdown was not q worthwhile
feature. 1t didn't prove anything.
Last year saw q football game
which started under ideal conditions.
In the first 10 minutes of play a
fumbled ball permitted a player to
run rs yards for q touchdown. Ii
was fluke play, break in the game
The goal was easily kicked.
Shortly after the start Of the Sec
ond period it began to rain. In that
period the team that had been scored
on made S5 yards on straight football,
only to have the whistle end play on
their opponents five-yard line.
In the third period the team that
had been scored on worked the ball
inside of their opponents 20yard line
on three occasions. but for some rea-
son or other failed to score. either a
tumble or a penalty.
In the final period, with the field
ankle deep in mud. the team that had
been scored on finally worked the
ball over the line. That made the
score Z to s. It was necessary to
kick the goal to tie.
Try for Goal Was Made Under Un-
favorable Conditions
The first goal had been kicked uIl-
der ideal conditions. Now the kicker
was called upon to try for a goal
with a mud soaked ball, shoes GOV.
cred with mud. and the field in ter
rible shape. His effort failed dis
mally.
After outplaying their opponents
throughout, the game was lost by a
one point margin. failure to kick the
goal after touchdown.
This rule has now been changed. a

Dhotton Is Only
Sunday Manager
In Big Leagues

When Branch Hickey was manager
of the st. Louis Browns, Jimmy Aus
tin was known as the Sunday man
ager.
Now that Hickey IS leading the St.
Louis Cardinals, that title falls to q
former Brownie, Bert Shotton.
Because of religious scruples Rick
ey does not direct the Cardinals on
Sunday. He does not even attend
the game. Someone must be in charge
of the club on the Sabbath. and since
going to the Cardinals Shotton has
been Rickeys selection.
Bert Shotton is therefore one
seventh manager OF the st. Louis
Cardinals, directing the play Of the
club on Sunday throughout the sea-
son. 1t is a rather unique position
in baseball.
Shotton has been unusually sue
cessful in his peculiar role. Last
season after losing the opening SUN
day game of the year to the Chicago
Cubs, s to 7, the team went on a
rampage and won IL straight Sun
day games. going from April "a to
Aug. ii before dropping a Sabbath

Friendly Tip May
Cost Pat Duncan
Berth With Reds

If Eddie Roush ever agrees on
terms with Cincinnati and reports,
he will, of course, play center field,
with George Burns, secured from
New York, in left field.
Right field will be contested for by
Pat Duncan and Greasy" Neale.
These two players are roommates,
fast friends. yet rivals for berth In
the Reds outfield
II Neaie happens to beat out Dun
can it will probably be due to q tip
that Pat gave GREASY"
Neale has never been known as
hard hitter. He has the strength to
drive the ball great distances, but
never got his weight behind his
drives.
Down South this spriEg Duncan
told Neale that he was positive he
would get more distance to his drives
if he stood with his feet closer to-
gather.
At Duncan's suggestion. Neale
changed his stance at the plate. In
the IL exhibition games played by
the Reds he cracked out is hits in
49 times at bat for an average of
1867. over 100 points better than he
usually hits on spring training trips.
If Neale is able TO continue his
n1lLluS On q Par with 0uHCoIs AC
will get the call over Pat because of
his superior fielding and base run
ming.
The best Duncan could hope for
would be to play regularly against
left handed pitching, as he is a right
handed hitter, with Neale in the line
up against right handlers.
And all because he advised Eeale
to change his style at the plate.

JUST FOR THE
SPORT OF IT

The New York Americans are cer-
tainly a happy family. Ruth doesn't
speak to Mays, Mays doesn't talk to
Higgins and Higgins merely mods to
Owner Huston.
Walter johnson may not do any
pitching until the first of May, says
a news report. That will be good
news to seven other clubs in the
American league.
Connie Macks team is in great
shape to hold down the calIar cham
pionship The st. Louis Cardinals
recently beat them five straight
games.
The three fighting Shades continue
to win from most of their opponents
by an even wider margin than their
name.
Detroit has recruit by the name
of Herman who swings baseball
bat as heavy as that of Babe Ruth.
There ends the comparison.
Carl Mays is right handed, which
disproves the long accepted theory
that only southpaw pitchers are tenn
peTdIu6uldI.
It seems that a great many pitch
ers are basing their hopes to do a
comeback on the theory that the
lively ball will be missing in 1922.
Certainly would be tough IL the ball
makers crossed them up.
Eddie Roush continues to remain
down on the farm. He will have to
produce some real crops to equal the
salary that he refuses to accept from
the Cincinnati club.
All the water hazards are not on
golf courses. Some of the ball fields
in the south have 'em. Bib Falk
of the White Sox tumbled into one
the other day and lost ball game
to the Gianls.
The Brooklyn pitchers have been
having such an easy time with the
Yankees or the training trip that

IDOL Of BASEBALL
WORLD ON ROAD To
COMPLETE RECOVERY
BY Billy Evans

How is Christy Mathewson getting
That question Is put to me more
often than any other one relating to
baseball.
There never was a greater baseball
idol than Christy Mathewson. He
is beloved by fans the country over.
Now that Matty is making stern
fight against the great white plague
st Saranac Lake every bit OF news
relative to his condition is OF much
interest.
From time to time the wires have
carried various bits of news about
his progress. One would say that
he was gradually recovering his
health. A few weeks later another
report would have him sinking
rapidly.
Recently I attended the Block S
dinner given in honor of the star
athletes at Syracuse University. 1t
was my very great pleasure TO talk
before the student body on baseball
and athletics in general. Incidentally
/ had the honor Of comforting the
college letter on each winner of the
much priced S.
At the dinner were many OF the
old grads. Among them was DR..
Edward n. Packard. DIR. Packard
was captain and stroke OF one of the
greatest crews Syracuse ever turned
out.
DIR. Packard is now a practicing
physician at Saranac Lake. He is the
personal physician of Mathewson..
After the introduction. the first
thing said to DR.. Packard was:
How is Matty getting along 2"
s.It seems as If everyone is inter-
ested in Matty." replied DR.. Pack
ard. $50 many people have asked
me that question this evening that
/ phoned Mr.. Mathewson q short
time ago and asked him if I might
make a public announcement of his
condition, and he consented
Matty Is Getting Well
'Mathewson is on the road to
permanent recovery. 1t may take
several years before he can venture
away from Saranac for any great
length of time. 1t viii also be neces-
sary that he spend part of each year
in the Adirondack mountains.
"Matty has been at deaths door
three or four times. Twice shave
despaired of his recovery.
Il am told there never was a
gamer pitcher than Mattv. From
personal observation can believe
that statement.
1T was in the pinch that he
fought hardest for his life. He sim
ply refused to think that he was
about to die. His great courage.
more than anything else won the
fight.
s.Mathewson weights 100 pounds
today, which was his weight when
in the best Of pitching condition. He
looks as well as he ever did. but. CT
course, lacks the old-time strength.
After a consultation of doctors
we collapsed the right luns. That
is not uncommon, however, and one
can get along just as well with one
lung.
In all probability Matty will be
able to pay the Polo Grounds visit
some time during the summer for
short stay. I know that is one am
bition he cherishes."
DR.. Packard's statement OF Math-
ewson's real condition was very in
tereSting to me. l am sure it will
prove the same to every fan that
ever read a box score.

scrimmage play has been substituted,
in which the team scoring the touch-
down has one down to pull some
thing. 1t seems that such a play
should carry big thrill.
Here is what Coach Robert Fisher
OF Harvard has to say about a few
Of the changes
Il believe the rules committee made
a mistake in passing the new rule
that If a player was taken out Of a
game because OF injuries he could
not return to play in the same half.
Il feel that under the new rule
players will be allowed to continue in
the game by the coaches and trainer
until convinced it is absolutely nee"
essary to take them out, rather than
withdraw them for observation.
Relative to the scrimmage play
after touchdown. feel it will merely
result in the perfecting Of drop
kickers."
It is rather surprising more Ameri-
can Indians have not developed into
great ball players.
Possibly the failure of the Indian to
shine in baseball has been due in q
great measure to lack of interest
among the whites in introducing the

Usually either one OF the major

OF the Indian in major league circles
at present Like all Indian ball play
ers Yellowhorse is known as Chief.
Chief Myers Has His Own
Peculiar Ideas About Art
Chief Myers was one Of the most
interesting ball players / ever talked
with. Myers, prior to breaking into
the big leagues, attended Dartmouth
college. There were other things in
life aside from baseball for Myers.
He was a lover Of art, also had a
keen sense of humor.
In this connection always recdii a
story they tell about Myers. 1t seems
the Chief has a few grievances
against the way the American Indian
has been treated. Those who have
seen the painting Of Clusters last
fight and recall the facts of that inci-
dent know the Indian was very much
in evidence.
Once upon being interviewed, Myers
was asked what painting he liked
best. Evidently Myers say an OPP
portunity to give vent to his feelings
relative to the white man.
"Custer's Last Fight" he replied.
His answer rather surprised the re-
porter, who pressed him for rea-
son.
'sWell. as far as / have been able
to learn" replied Myers, that was
the first and only time the Indians
ever had an even break with the
whites"
