TO ENTER OLYMPlCS

ANNAPOLIS, Md, November 2S.-A
crew of the Naval Academy will at
tempt to qualify to represent the
United States at the Olympic games
to take place this summer at Paris.
and to emulate the mighty crew of
1920. which at Brussels won the
Olympic and worlds championship.

was for twenty-one years mentor of
Naval Academy rowing, who handled
the championship crew of 1920.
Young Glendon has already won his
place as a rowing coach. Last sea-

sumed charge of the naval squad,
with but one regular of the previous
year on hand. With seven men row.
ing their first varsity season he won
all his home matches, defeated Har-
ward and Princeton on Lake Carnegie

at PoughkeepSie. He lost only to the
great crew of the University of
WaShingto
This year Glendon will have six of
his varsity oarsmen of last year and
an abundance of other good men from
his junior crews of the same year.
The academy crew will not enter t
PoCghkeepsie this year, but will take
part in the national regatta to be
rowed at Philadelphia between the
9TH and 10th of June, at which the
representation on the water of this
nation in the Olympic games will be

first rules designated. 1t took the
pitcher long time to free him
self from such restriction, but the
freedom came from a liberal in
depreciation of the rule, through
certain discoveries OF little tricks
that might be practiced-the out
ward obedience to the underhand
throw, but a little twist to the

see. Fast and slow balls gave rise
to change of pace. If the batter

out a pitcher by refusing to strike
at balls-often requiring a pitcher
to send fifty and sixty balls to
batsman (there were no three
good balls and out III those times)

i'll every way possible to confuse
him. James Creighton OF the
Brooklyn Excelsiors was a great
pitcher in his day. 1t was he,
during the late Sos, who discov-
cred the use that could be made

together with Arthur Cummings

the modern pitching on a fair

Heilmann is not the only candidate
this year for the American Leagues

st. Louis club furnishes three and all
OF them outfielders-Tobin, Jacobson
and Williams. Some stunt. that, for
the entire outfield Of one club to go
up together, and it shows the batting g
power of that trio, although they
can't win st. Louis a pennant to save
them.
Sam Rice Also Promoted.
Two other American Leaguers who
are promoted to the five-year class
are Pratt OF Detroit and Rice of
Washington.
Heilmann's .402 record for 1929 was
legftimately earned. He batted the
ball to get it. Back in 1897, when 400
batters bloomed in more or less pro-
fusion, things were different. The
difference was that in that year a
base on balls was regarded as a hit.
This was because the rules committee
was one of the more or less unthink-
ing fanatics-the same kind of over
jealous enthusiasts who bob up from
time to time attempting to change
the rules of the game.
Recording base on balls as a base
hit was just silly as giving a hit
| on missed third strike or giving one
because the batter was hit by d
pitched ball. 1t was not a test of the
batter's striking ability. If there
were demand for an average based
on the number of times a batter
reached first base, the base on balls
might be worth while as factor but
there is not.
The rules should never he permitted

GOLF CODE CHANGES
OPPOSED BY BYERS

PITTSBURGH. Pa. November 2S.-J.
Frederick Byers. president Of the United
States Golf Association. voiced oppo-
sition to n movement to amend golf
rules in an address before the Wom-
ems Golf Association of western
Pennsylvania yesterday.
These people are trying to make
the game easier instead of gaining
success by skill" declared Byers.
They would experiment and tamper
with the very fundamentals OF the
game. which have stood the test of
centuries. Some of the rules may be
ambiguous and probably should be
slmplited. but the fundamentals of
the game OF golf are sound and should
not be tampered with"
