DIFFERENCES IN LATEST AND U. 5.
 RULES FOR TENNIS

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The code of lawn tennis rules framed by the in ternational rules committee in Lon don, December 30, at a meeting at tended by representatives of II na- tions, will be submitted for adoption by the United States Lawn Tennis association at its annual session here February 3. Copies of the new code, brought back by Henry W. Slo cum, American representative at tho London gathering, were made public today
 While a majority of the rules in the new code conform with those now recognized in this country. sev- eral depart from American regula- tions These refer to the ball, the foot fault rule and regulations gov- erning the rest period between sets in prolonged matches.
 Comparison of the differences be- tween the American and new inter- national rules governing the weight and size of balls shows that the in- ternational standard fixes 2i5 inches as the minimum diameter, whereas the American minimum is 9-1G inches. The maximum diameter, 3 l0-16 inches. is the same for both codes, as is the minimum weight of ounces ana nldXlnu unl WclBnL )1 2 1-16 ounces. The minimum bound lander certain fixed conditions, is 45 inches under the American rules, and 50 inches in the international code, but the maximum bound, 60 inches. is alike,
 The Foot Fault Rule
 Changes in the foot fault rule are confined to phraseology, both requir- ing the server to stand with both fee. at rest behind the base line before commencing to serve and to keep both feet behind the base line and at least one foot on the ground until the racquet strikes the ball.
 Regarding rest periods, both codes agree in allowing an intermission of not more than 10 minutes after the third set, or where women take part. after the second set. but provisions for delays due to accidents or un- ayoidable circumstances differ. The international code would leave to the discretion of the umpire the time of suspension of play while the Amer ican, rule provides for a cessation of rlay not 60 exceed two minutes.

TEE, PARKWAY
 AND GREEN
By CHARLES tcHIcD EVANS. JR.


 Who is the worlds greatest golfer? ? If you are one of the hundreds of thousands of golfers who manage to get in one and sometimes two aft ernoons a week out on the links, and if you swell with pride when your score shows under 100, even though you did cut a few corners on strokes then you are the answer to the question above.
 You are the worlds greatest golfer and you can tell the world that I said so, because you are the boy who makes the game possible for all of us.
 Introducing Mir. Dub
 We hear lot about MT. Champion but we don't hear anything about MT. Dub
 l sometimes regret that I am not just dub golfer. I often see the boys of the club" go forth joyfully, with every drive hooked, sliced or dubbed, and nearly every iron foozled, and the Sheer pleasure they get out of it makes me contemplate them sometimes much as a prize fighter must look over his audience and wonder what a prize fight fan thinks about"
 Game of Extremes
 Golf is a game of extremes, the dub player and the expert standing out most prominently. Only in this case the lower extremity, to twist a term. gets the better of it. He gets nothing but unalloyed fun out of the game. and this, l suspect, is what makes golf the sport it is. If we were all unduly accomplished d players the game would develop into national rivalry with everybody involved. As it is, I have never heard of golf destroying a friendship. It cements friendships and makes them richer through the happy hours amid delightful and restful surroundings of the worlds greatest playground, the golf course.
 MT. Dub Dubs Shot
 When MT. Dub dubs shot 1t means nothing in particular in his life. He expected to dub It in the first place. If he accidentlly makes a fine shot he gets more out of 1t than the finished player can ever find in his whole card that glitters with it's near-par total. Let Mir. Dub make one good shot in IS holes of golf and he not only thrills at the moment but he lives with it for weeks His fine shot represents This game at least for himself from then on, however hard 1t may be for him to persuade others to see it in that light. His score of 100 to 12O or more means merely a delightful afternoon of pleasure on his part while the expert player eentemplates card of six or seven above par and has a misery for week be- cause of it.
 We hear about the champions and the champions. but here's my hand for the hundreds of thousands of players who go in for golf just for the fun there is in it. They make the clubs, they make the social life of the game and. for the most part. they represent the finest citi- zenry in the land
 If you are MT. Dub I'm for you You are the worlds greatest golfer

That naturally ought to give me pretty good line on him.
 I might say right here that we caught Ruth in one of his dumps and we did everything we could to make it worse for him. He is a bali player of the freak type that is likely to bust up game at any moment. Nobody ever could hit ball as far as he, and it was my business to see that he didn't get hold of one. Under those circumstances the natural thing to do was to pitch him slow ones. It is difficult for a long hitter to brace himself against ball that barely Jobs over the plate.
 McGraw Signnlled Balls.
 I signalled for every ball that was pitched to Ruth during the last worlds series. In fact. gave the signals for practically every ball that was pitched during the series by our pitchers. They preferred that I do it. 1 think ballplayers, as rule, can do a more workmanlike job when they feel that some one else is taking the responsibility. Those who watched the games may have noticed that the catcher invariably turned and looked at the bench. l gave him the sign which he in turn gave to the pitcher
 This was not. done in any slipshod or guesswork manner. To give you an idea of our thoroughness, we pitched but nine curves and three fast balls to Ruth. throughout the series. All the rest were slow balls. Of those twelve-the nine curves and three fast balls-eleven of them set the big fellow on his ear, as we say. He got just one foul off those twelve strikes. And usually we crossed him with the curve when there were men on bases. Our respect for the way he tears into a fast ball is indicated by our giving him but three to hit at during the entire series.
 The trick. though, that broke the Tanks in two was brand new play that we pulled on them and repeated on the two occasions when they be- came the most dangerous. The pub lie seems to have overlooked this play in the excitement.
 But I am running into my second chapter.

HUSTON DECIDES TO RETAIN SHARE OF YANKEE CLUB
By Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.--Col. T. k. Huston has decided to retain his part ownership of the New York Ameri- can league baseball club, which it was announced some time ago, he would dispose of to Col. Jacob Rup- pert.
 Colonel Huston, himself, con- firmed the report that the negotia- tions with Colonel Ruppert had broken down. He asserted he would retain his part ownership indefinite ly, although his stock is for sale to "any reputable person." He denied that the deal failed over the pur- chase price, reported to be $1,125.0OO.
 Colonel Illusions decision came as surprise for it had been an nounced a month ago at the joint meeting of the major leagues here that the sale had been agreed on.
 Colonel Ruppert was entirely sincere in announcing he had ac- qured my stock, as we both believed that the deal would go through, Colonel Huston said. My stock can be purchased by any reputable per sons who will pay the price.
 Colonel Huston said his decision would not alter policies of the club or change the status of Miller Hug gins as manager.

Student Traps Cat for Schools Mascot


 LEXINGTON, Ky. Jan. 4.-Fresh from the foothills of Tennessee TINT Jr," paced the mascot's cage at the University of Kentucky today. the exposure of campus. The young wildcat was brought to the suniver- sity yesterday by Robert Johnson who trapped the animal while spend ing Christmas vacation at his home near Chattanooga, Tenn.
 Johnson trapped and brought to the school the first ''TNTn original wildcat mascot for the university's athletic organization. The first cat was full grown when removed from his highland home, and never was able to become accustomed to the campus atmosphere. He weakened and died. Wildcat enthusiasts point out that the new mascot was caught young and probably would become accustomed to his post.

 TEAM NEXT YEAR
Former Tech and Penn Men, tor Signs Three Year Con-
 tract Thursday

WASHINGTON Penn, Jan. A. of Pennsylvania and Georgia Tech football coach, has signed a three year contract to coach the Washing ton and Jefferson gridiron squad, it was said here tonight by R. M. Murphy, graduate manager of ath- letics at w. and J. He succeeds Earl E. Neale, the big league baseball star.
 Heisman will be assisted in his work with the W. and J. team by David .. Morrow. a Washington and Jefferson graduate, who coached the Bethany, w. Va, collegeN team last season. Morrow will have charge of the linemen.
 During the last three years Heis- man coached the University of Penn sylvania eleven. Before taking charge at Pennsylvania he developed the wonder team of the south-the Col den Tornado" of Georgia Tech. While piloting the Tornado he became fla nous for gridiron play which was termed "the Heisman shift" He also coached the Clemson college eleven.
 For some time it has been known that W. and J. was angling for a coach to replace Neale. In 1921, Neale developed a wonderful team at w. and J., but during the past season, the Presidents, after winning spec tacular> game from Lafayette in New York, lost their punch. The first setback came when Carnegie Tech of Pittsburgh held w. and J. to. a tie.
 The athletic council and we'll known w. and J. alumni claimed there was a weakness in the line and asked that it be remedies. Neale announced his work was being ham pered by Interference" Then fol- lowed defeats at the hands of the Universities Of Pittsburg, Detroit and West Virginia.
 John Kellison, who was Neale's as sistant, was also discarded by Wash ington and Jefferson, Morrow talk ing his place.

That is all that ever said to them.
 It might surprise many to know that. at no time did we have the sli ightest fear of Ruth. There seemed to be an impression that l was un familiar with the playing of Ruth and Schang. As a matter of fact knew more about Ruth. Schang and Baker than any other members of the Yankee team. My club has played in fully twenty games against Ruth.
