YANK FIELDER HAS
NEW SCORING PLAN

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Mar, 11.--Q.
N. S.)--As an outfielder who contrib
uted materially to the success of the
New York Giants last season Irish"
! Meusel, in spring training with his
teammates here, says he is ready to
break into the statistican class. He
says batting averages should be revis-
ed. And he says he is not in favor of
the new system simply because he
proved a leader of it in the recent
worlds series games. He says his
plan will give credit where credit is
due.
Meusel's scheme is to credit the
batter with the amount of bases he
advances man.
1t is we'll known among baseball
men that some batters are better at
the plate than others when there are
men on bases. The nervous tension
proves too much for some of the hit
ters.
Dope on Sluggefs.
Slugeers who can whale the ball
mile when the sacks are empty often
take the long walk back to the water
bucket when there are two or three
men on the sacks.
Meusels scheme is If a man is on
second base and the batter hits long
single and scores the runner the hit
ter should be given credit in a special
column for three bases-the one he
made himself and the two he advanc-
ed the runner
If the sacks were loaded and he
cleaned them with double he would
get credit for the two bases he made,
the three the man covered who was
on first, the two the man from see
ond passed and the single base for the
player who was on third. That would
give the slugger credit of eight
bases.
How About Scorers?
While Meusers system might make
a hit,with ball players it would not so
over strong with the scorers,
I'm games in Southern California
this winter l have noticed how the
present system of basing averages
fails TO tell players true value said !
,Meusel
"A hit that advances man is more |
valuable than one without anyone on
base. They are not worth ten cents |
dozen, but imagine how The fans
would clamor for hit with the bases
loaded or with only one man on

Literacy Test is
Called Failure
In immigration
BY w. II. ATKINS,



Correspondent
( WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE lit
eracy test in American immigration
laws is failure. and operates to keep
out of the United States the moro
sturdy and Industrious classes of Eu-
ropean laborers according to DR.. John
]. Constas, Washington surgeon, who
returned here recently from four
months tour of Europe in survey
of immigration problems for the gov
ernment
DR.. Constas made special study of
conditions affecting immigration in
Southern European countries, though
his observations covered many other
countries in Central and Western Eu-
rope.
A vigorous stand by the United
States to force the adoption by other
countries of higher medical standards
to govern those who seek passage on
ships bound for the United States is
recommended by DR.. Constas, in re-
port which he will submit to Secretary.
of Labor Davis.
ouF&CNttOiiS dHt
Secretary Davis invited DR.. Cohstas
for many years close student Of i'm
Emigration and Americanization uues-
tions, to suggest notifications in pres
ent immigration rules and regulations
on the basis of his investigations
abroad.
Dr. Constas asserted today that the
health of Americas future immigrant
population can only be assured, and in
turn the health of American commu-
mites safeguarded, by imposing severe
medical tests abroad. He believes the
United States, by joint action with for
eign powers. can so tighten the inspec-
tion rules at foreign ports that trans
portation of mental or physical de-
fectives out of those countries to the
United States can be stopped.
The suggestions of DR.. Constas may
later be laid before President Harding.
Before his departure for Europe, DIR.
Constas discussed with the president
! the object of his mission abroad and
the latter expressed desire to learn
the results of the survey both oflabor
and immigration conditions as they
now exist,
Europe Needs Labor.
Europe, now struggling industrially,
needs practically al of her surplus la
Dor to help in rehabilitation, Dir. Con-
stas declared In some few of the
countries of Southern Europe, includ-
ing Italy, wherein the large popula-
tions do not permit of much expan-
sion, there is a surplus, of laborers
who might make useful citizens in this
country If they were admitted. he de-
clared.
While in Europe DR.. Constas. iby
special request of the Greek govern
ment, introduced American methods
into the Greek hospital system and su-
pervised the setting up of new Red
Cross units upon the American plan.
For this service he received the thanks
OF the Greek government and was the
recipient of honors fro mits highest Of
ficials.
