GR|FF NOW WILL START
HIS CONTESTSAT 3:45

Griffith has decided to drop even
farther behind the daylight-sav-
ing procession. Close in the wake
of his announcement that the $50
starting time on week days would
be adhered to despite the general
advance of sixty minutes for work
in Washington. comes another an
nouncement to the effect that, be-
Georgia avenue will not get under
way till S:45. relatively an hour
and a quarter later than under the
old-tirne schedule.
Griffith believes this twilight
base ball idea will prove, a big hi.
with fans who toll in the depart
ments, az it will give them fifteen
quitting work at $3.50. That Is
hardly enough time. A 4 o'clock
start would allow half an hour
for the necessary street car trans
portation and enable practically all
game bound federal workers to
see the battles start and eliminate
objections to uneven time.
1. might even be possible to have
the games start at $40, and there
by accommodate the business
house employees who now finish
their daily labors at 5 o'clock. but
then 1t might be trif1e dark at
the finish Of some of those long
games. Unless a further change

morrow. for American League

Ty Cobb, in 1911, at the height of
his brilliant career, made the modern
record for both major leagues with
ninety-H.x stolen bases. The best per-
formance IN the National League, as
it now is composed, was eighty, made
by Bob Bescher of Cincinnati, in 1911.
Last year Frank Frisch of the Giants
led the way with forty-nine thefts.
but handicapped this year, by late

MAKE BUSINESS
Of FTHE|RSPORT
English Opinion ls That Ameri-
can Boys Do Nothing
Except "PIay."

Americans have become 80 skilled
in sport that the impression abroad
IL that the youth Of this land of the
4 ee do nothing from sunrise to sun
set but perfect themselves in golf and
tennis. Some Of the English com.
mentators explain the failure Of their
athletes on the courts and links by
the fact that here they make busi-
nes OF golf and tennis.
When the American youth goes out
to play he also goes out to win. He
thrives on competition, not pastime.
Competition is keener here. and the
American athlete perfects his game
as quickly as possible. Sport here
Is intensive. People often ask what
becomes of many Of the youthful
champions who blossom during their
college days.
The answer is that they have
dropped out of the public eye for the
simple reason that they have taken
up the sport Of making an honest liv.
ing seriously.
The decline Of tennis In ENGLAND
may be accounted for by the fact
that they go In very little for hard.
court play. The asphalt courts In
San Francisco probably do as much
as any other one thing to speed up
American tennis and make Il the
fastest In the world.
Abroad they play pretty much all
the time on turf courts, and the turf
isn't as good as 1t used TO be. They
play indoor tennis here more than
they do anywhere else. and this
game encourages speed.
or course. our superiority in golf
cannot be accounted for by speed.
II may be accounted for, however,
by the simple explanation that when
an American youth goes out on d
golf course he Is Immediately fired
with an ambition to play better than
anyone else on the course. The old
er men may play golf leisurely, but
not the youths. They play hard and
for all they are worth.
Golf to them is something more
than an afternoons outing. II Is q
game to be won or lost. II IL a mis-.
taken idea that competitors do not
get as much fun out Of trying to
win as they would get In Just going
out to get the air. Over here q golfer
gets a heap Of fun out of being de.
feated, provided, Of course, that he
In beaten by better player.
