YANK BOSS SEES
BIG YEAR AHEAD
OF PITCHER JONES
Higgins Predicts Sam VIII
Have One of Best Seasons
of Career.

BIZ &EA Service
NEW YORK, Jan. 22-Manager
Miller Higgins of the Yankees pre-
diets Pitcher Sam Jones will have one
Of the best years of his career the
coming season.
Jones, who was somewhat Of a dis
appointment in 1922 with the pennant-
winning Yankees, came back strong
last season.
Good Entire Year
Jones was one of the mainstays Of
the club throughout the race, pitching
consistently good ball.
Late in the year Jones came
through with no-hit game. In the
world series he pitched brilliantly
against the Giants, only to lose, to
o, when Casey Stengel pulled a high
fly into the right field bleachers for a
homer at the Yankee stadium.
Jones is a master workman" says
Manager Higgins. mo pitcher in
either league has more poise than
Sam.
Has Fine Control
me poSsessor OF great control,
Sam often makes the mistake of
pitching too carefully, in the slang
of baseball. getting the ball too good.
1t is when Jones loosens up and
pitches with a careless style that he
is most effective. When he is just
bit wild he is harder to solve His
speed is just enough to keep the bat
ters from digging in and taking a
healthy swing"

Basketball
Problems

Ques-Is it necessary for the referee to
count aloud the ten seconds permitted for
a free throw. and the five seconds for an
out-Of- bounds playf
Ans-The rules do not require either but
it is customary for officials to count the five
seconds but not the ten.
Ques-Our baskets are set on uprights.
What is the penalty If the player shakes the
upright while the ball is on the edge of the
basket
Ans-This is the same as interfering with
he basket itself. covered in Rule ID Sec. II.
If the offense is committed at opponents
basket it is declared a goal whether made
or not. If committed at players own bas-
Eet it IS no goal whether made or not. In
both cases the ball goes to center. If play
ers of both teams commit the offense on the
same play, it is no goal and center ball.

The past year saw Zev~crowned as
undisputed king of the early and mid
season racing, at least, but next year,
unless several horses train off, an out
standing champion will haTe to show
more than Zev did.
Suburban Handicap
Nominations already in for the SUI
burban handicap at Belmont Park, for
instance, give some idea of what is
to be expected in the line of racing
contention. The mighty Grey Lag
kept away from the races last season
by weak under-pinning, is entered and
will in all likelihood draw the top
weight assignment.
Zev, now a 4-year-old; Mad Halter,
Prince James, My Play, Martingale,
Dunln, Diogenes, Wise Counsellor.
Sarazen, Rialto, Transmute and sew
eral other winners Of famous races
in the past, are entered for the Su-
burban.
With such a number Of first-class
horses already entered for just one
of the big eastern races, it seems clear
that 1924 will produce the best kind
of racing.
Epinard Coming
Then in addition to all of the year
to year fixtures the coming of the
French champion, Epinard, for at
least two weight-for age sweepstake
events at New York. tracks is certain
to bring out the best competition
among American horses in the 3-year-
old and up division.
Never since the abolition Of open
betting has a racing year appeared
so promising as does this one. That
it at least the opinion of the men in
closest touch with the New York rae
ing situation.

INDIAN CITIZENS
STILL U.S.PR0BLEM
Commissioners Say Confer
ring of Rights Last June
Increased Obligation.

The act of last June comforting cit
iZenship upon all non-citizen Indians,
numbering some $4,000, did not end
the Governments interest in the In
dian problem, but, on the contrary,
increased it's responsibilities, 1t is as
serted in the annual report OF tn:
Board of Indian Commissioners, sub
mitted to the Secretary of the Interior
today.
The granting of citizenship did not
change the status Of the Indians as
wards of the Nation, il is stated. The
United States is still their guardian
and trustee to their properties, 1t is
pointed out.
These facts are presented, the re
port explains, because there seem"
to be a somewhat widely spread i'm
preston that when President Cool
idge signed the Indian citizenship 4
he, then and there, with sweep OF
his pen, ended the Indian problem and
laid it away in the archives of his
tory; that there now is no further
need of Federal guardianship and
trusteeship, and, consequently, no
further excuse for the continuance Of
the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
This board holds views exactly to
the contrary. We are OF the OPINION
that the formal merging of the Indian
people into the citizenry of the coun-
try is distinct challenge TO the
Government to intensity its Indian
Service activities in order to hasten
the day when all supervised Indians
may safely pass from under super
vision by becoming the unrestricted
owners of their property and the
equals, in all respects, of all other
American citizens. We are firmly of
the opinion that this change in the
civic status of the 1875. 600 Indian per

Noted Conductor
Drops Baton to
Become Composer
Friends Say Furt,Uaengier
Has ''Stuf" to Become
NetU Beethoven.

! Correspondence of The Associated Press
LEIPZIG, November 23.-Win WI
helm Furtwaengler, director of the
Gewandhaus Orchestra, go down in
history AS another Beethoven or viii
! his fame be limited to that of a
! worthy successor to Arthur Nikisch,
the late conductor of the Leipzig 0r-
| chcstra?
Musical circles all over Europe are
debating this question in view of
Furtwaengler's decision to limit
greatly the number of concerts he
will direct outside of Leipzig. 1t is
an open secret that he is busy com
posing, and that musical literature is
to be enriched by his first symphony
| before the concert season 1924-2o is
over.
1t took much urging on the part Of
his friends to persuade Furtwaengler
to take this step. He is of modest,
retiring disposition, diffident about
his own abilities and hesitant to pro-
duce himself as a composer. But those
who have seen two minor efforts OF
his. "Te Deum' and string quar-
tet, believe that he has the stuff III
him to rank by the side of Beethoven,
Brahms and Strauss.
F'urtwaengler already enjoys the
reputation of being one of the most
able orchestra conductors in Europe.
When he took over the position LETT
vacant by the untimely death of Ar
thur Nikisch in 1921, everybody was
exceedingly critical of him. Nikisch' $
place was regarded as one that could
not be filled. After three years as di-
rector of the LeipSic orchestra, how
ever. Furtwaengler has established
the reputation of being in every way
a worthy successor to Nikisch.
Musical critics point out that great
composers have been usually notori-
ously poor conductors, and that sue
cessful conductors rarely find time
to do much composing. The musical
world is now waiting to see whether
FurtwaenEler will prove one of those
rare geniuses.
