need for continued help for Russia in

there, and urged re-establiShment OF
peace and order throughout the world.
In regard 20 Palestine he recalled the

SOME OPPOSED
To REPEAL OF
SERIES RULE
One Magnate Says He Never VIII
Stand for Modification
of the Law.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, Jan. 20.-Repeal Of the
rule which says world series con-
testants shall not play in exhibition
games after a series, which got
Babe Ruth and his associates into
trouble, is not favored unanimously
av the major league club owners
and perhaps that is one reason why
the topic has been sidetracked for
the moment. One major league
owner, whose players after world
series, gave a very bad account Of
themselves by engaging in games
with good, bad and Indifferent
teams, and usually for 25 cents ad-
mission, said today that he would
never agree to modification OF the
rule.
The fact that Commissioner Lam
dis Is said to have suggested that
the present rule is too severe does
not have any effect on the mind of
the owner. He said his experience
in baseball is long and varied and
that he had his money in the game
for a longer term of years than
two or three, and knows what IS
best for his interests. If the sub
ject of permitting world series
players to go transforming after
series is brought up in his pres
ence he will vote against il and
talk against it.
1T seems to be forgotten" he
said, that this rule was not passed
because the owners provoked it.
The ball players made the rule nee
eSsary. There was no such rule
when the world series began in
1905 and the thought of such rule
was in the mind of no one. The
conduct of players of certain clubs
after the world series had become
q fixture is what brought the rule
about. There would be little or no
talk about it now if it had not hap
pened that Babe Ruth was the
player to violate the regulations.
To my mind Babe Ruth is no big
ger than any other ball player. He
Is a better batter of home runs,
but that let's him out. He does not
belong to my team and is of no
more Importance, perhaps not -as
much as the best catcher that I've
got 1 do not wish to be quoted in
person and so be accused of stir
ring anything up, but if the time
comes when the question is brought
before the owners I'm going to call
their attention to few little things
which happened when ball players
did as they pleased and see wheth-
er. they are satisfied with my dip
insb ancient history"

passed through the gate of the ma

He went to the coast and has
been there ever since, a sIugger

RULE CHANGES
IN BASKETBALL
ARE SUGGESTED
BY PAUL STERNBERG.
intercollegiate Basketball Refer

intercollegiate Basketball Referee)
Too much Importance is placed
on goals from foul. The field goa
is far more difficult. There should
be a change in the scoring rules
Three points for a goal from field
and one point from foul. is a better
rating than the present one, which
allows only two points for a field
goal.
The dribble is absolutely nee
essary to keep up the action of the
game.
Some years ago the dribble was
barred in intercollegiate basketball.
It's elimination killed off much of
the action in the game and basket
BAN lost much of its popularity.
In 1910 the dribble was restored
on probation. A player was per-
mitted to dribble the ball to the
basket, but was compelled to pass
1t to another player before a shot
could be attempted.
Speed Up the Game.
This helped speed up the game,
but the real punch of the dribble
was destroyed by forcing the play
er who had pulled the stunt to pass
the ball. In 1911 the player was
allowed to shoot after the dribble.
The game has prospered ever
since, and the elimination OF the
dribble as proposed by some ex-
perts would be a step backward.
The circle from which the CEN
tiers jump should be enlarged. A
two-foot radius is too small. It
should be increased to three. That
would give the centers more space
in which to jump for the ball with
out personal contact.
The rule compelling players to
have one hand behind the back is
a poor one. 1t handicaps the jump
ing power OF the player because of
the false position

Statz Like Burns.

Arnold STATE, the outfielder, who
will go to the Cubs from Los An
geles for the season of 1922, is in
Worcester, Mass, visiting his folks
in company with Mrs. STATE, who
is a southern California girl. Statz
plays the outfeld as nearly like
George Burns, formerly of the
Giants, as any other ball player
could. His method of coming in
after a ball is almost the exact
counterpart of that employed by
Burns and he handles fly hits with
the same assurance as the former
Giant.
STATE is the best golfer in base
ball. He, uses his golf clubs with
the grace of a pro. His driving is
excellent and he puts with accu-
racy. When he was with the New
York team he began as If he might
bat well but the pitchers of the
National league quickly found
where he couldn't hit them effec-
lively. That's where he got them.
What makes STATE a more likely
possibility is the fact that he has
changed his stance at bat He no
longer hits right-handed but has
Joined the left.hand batting sprint
ers and is said to have increased
his ability at least 25 per cent.
Reports from California say that
he is not wholly sure of himself
just yet batting from the first base
side of the plate, but they also
state that he never has indicated
the slightest tendency to relapse
into an Indifferent batter since he
changed over.

Ten years ago If that question
was put to some major league star,
he would first give a very careful

the mark. That would be to de-
termine the sanity of the individ-

After having satisfied himself on
that point he would probably rid
his system of series of loud

he believed some one was trying to

HUDSON RIVER
MAY LOSE BIG
REGATTA EVENT
Fate of Poughkeepsie
Rests With Rail
road.
By LAWRENCE PERRY.

copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, Jan. 2O-The fate of
Poughkeepsie as a setting for the
1922 regatta of the Intercollegiate
Rowing association, it was learned
today, largely rests in the hands
of the West Shore Railroad COM
pany, whose authorities are now
considering a request from the
Poughkeepsie stewards TO operate
an observation train along the Hud-
son river course, June &c. 1t is
limited that the attitude of the rail-
road people thus far is not encour-
aging. If the railroad declines to
run train, as was the case last
year, then permission will be asked
for the use of the tracks and an eff
fort made to borrow the New Lon
don observation cars from the New
Haven road. Failing in this, the
regatta may be moved elsewhere.
In the 1921 regatta the West
Shore refused to operate a train,
but gave the various crews the
right to occupy the boat houses
which stand on railroad property.
1t cost the intercollegiate Rowing
association a lot of money to re-
pair these quarters and rebuild the
floats. Money would have to be
spent again this year to put them
in shape
Assuming that it is found impos-
sible to hold the regatta on the
Hudson this year, where could it
be held? The Poughkeepsie stew
ards have been looking into the
course at Springfield, Mass, and if
they lose out on the Hudson it
would not be surprising if the New
England course were selected

, ball. are hitting the golf ball around
the field.
| Is golf a good thing for ball play
ers?
That has been a much debated
| question since the game took such
a hold on the players. There are
some managers who do not approve
of it, Others think it is all right,
if not INDUCED in to excess.
The swing in golf is entirely diff
ferent from that of baseball
That is the point on which some
managers object to the golf game.
They claim it has a tendency to in-
jure their batting eye.
On the other hand it can be az
gued that golf requires great con-
centration, which must necessarily
work to advantage on the ball field.
It trains the eye, say the golf sup
porters, it makes the player keep
his eye on the ball.
Those holding negative opinion
say the golf ball is a stationary OBJ
ject, while the baseball travels
through the air at a high rate of
speed.
Crack Hitters Play GOLF.
If one delves into the records,
however, he can find plenty of proof
to show that golf doesn't hurt a
ball players game. By that l mean
the style used in golf doesn't hurt
ones batting form.
If a player goes out and reels off
IS, 81 or SO holes before game time,
as is often done, that player is GER
tain to report a bit tired for the
game. He isn't going to have his
usual pep"
The records show that Babe
Ruth, who is an ardent golfer. is
the worlds greatest home-run hit
ter. Ty Cobb, who has led the
American league for about Is sea-
sons, likes his golf as well as base
ball. iris Speaker, Rogers Horns
by and George Sisler are also golf
bugs and equally great hitters.

Players Like Golf.

IdycfS AIke U0iI.
Golf is an obsession with a ma
jority of the major league players.
Some of them play it to the dis
traction of their manager. Getting
a ball player out of bed in the
morning was once the hardest thing
in the world. Now the suggestion
of golf game for the next day will
invariably result in four or five
players leaving a 6 O'Clock call and
playing Is or more holes before
game time.
If you visited any of the major
league club houses during the sea-
son the lockers of the different
players would probably show as
many golf sticks as baseball bats.
