TIGER lNFIELD IS BIG
 PROBLEM FOR FY COBB
Detroit Manager Having Hard Time to Get Good Defensive
 Hitters

Detroit, Dec. 6.-George Me- Bride, former star shortsop and manager of the Washington club, is to be Ty Cobb's assistant at Detroit next season.
 In selecting an infelder for this job, Cobb is altering his system of previous years, when a veteran catcher has been his first lieutenant in matters of strategy.
 Dan Howley, who managed the Toronto Internationals with great success last summer, saved Cobb in such q capacity for two years. Since the departure of Howley, Fred Carisch. old time big league catcher. has assisted.
 Cobb feels that his inneld is his big problem. Weakness at every posi- tion, with the possible exception Of first base, has handicapped the Tygors.
 The Detroit leader is hopeful that Mcbride will be able to bolster Up the Tigers inner defense.
 Rlgney a great prospect at short years. Cobb. who in his first year as manager, said Rigney would soon rank as one Of the greatest infeld- CTS in the game, has almost weaken. ed on the Texan.
 "lf Mcbride polishcs up the play Of lligney in It's weak spots, he will have earned his salary" is the view point of Cobb.

Tanks Are Most Feared
 By Athletics Leader

Philadelphia, Dec, 16.-Connie Mack says that any one who figures the New York Americans out Of the 1925 race are making a big mistake.
 The Yankees are going to be a different ball club next season." says the astute Mir. Mack. "I look for them to show a spirit that was lack ing last season.
 Too much success made. the Tanks ovcrconndent, caused them 10 be careless at times in the belief they could step out and win when the pinch arose.
 'The setback the team received is sure to work for good. The strength Of the team is too well known 10 need comment

BASEBALL EXPERTS LOOK
 FIREWORKS TOMORROW
Many Think That Storm Will Break, Resulting in Resignation of Landis, Johnson, or Both.

Chicago. Dec. 16.-A calm that gave scant indication of what was to follow prevailed today as officials of the American and National Baseball leagues gathered here for a joint session tomorrow.
 In some quarters, however, 1t was taken as the forerunner of a likely storm that would culminate the con- troversy between President Ban Johnson of the American league and kencsaw M. Landis, commissioner Of baseball, in the resignation of either or both.
 Most National league and some American league officials were fear ful that Landis, in opening the meet ing, might submit his resignation If Johnson would remain as head of the junior circuit. Johnson went to St. Louis Sunday 10 confer with officia Is there, but was expected back for the meeting.
 An effort at reconciliation between the commissioner and President Johnson was expected to be made prior to the meeting by a commit tee composed of Colonel Jake Rup- pert Of New York, Tom Shibe Of Philadelphia, and Barney Bernard of Cleveland.
 President Harry Williams of the Pacific Coast league, en route to his home, has asked Commissioner Ian dis to turn over 10 him any evidence filed by Johnson in support of his charges that gambling existed in the Pacific Coast league last season. None had been filed.

FORWAqn PASSES
 SCORED BY COACH
Gore Thinks TOuchdOWns Re.
 Sultin6 Worth But 8 Points

Amherst, Mass, Dec. i6.-Dcclar- Ing that tho forward pass. in its modern variations. is an "cyi" 10 'he game and slowly rclcgatinr Icothall into outdoor basketball. Harold M. tKidl Gore, grldiron coach at the Massachusetts AgricuI- rural college, suggests that q toucb- io"n resulting from a forward pass SCOT" only three points, the same as Held goal, instead of six. as now provided. He also suggests that as q further remedy the elimination Of any run after a pass Is received tbus allowing only the ground actually gainci by the pass.
 Coach Gore believes the forward pass at present constitutes q bar rl"r to team play in that a team with a pass" specialist can nullify the work of a whole opposing team not so equipped. The Aggie coach makes the point score suggestion after having coached the best team the Massachusetts Agsies has hao m % years anu which did not use the forward pass 10 any extent.
 Coach Gore outlines his sugges- tions as follows
 Tt will perhaps be recalled that football had only a fighting chance 10 keep alive at the end of the sea. son ot 1895. At that time there was a big movement on foot 10 re- form football and many changes were made. Among the innovations were the forward pass and the on- side kick.
 The onside kick, incidentally has gone its way after a chance-t taking life of lS years. And the forward pass is liable to have a similar fate in the near future.
 The elimination Of the run af- fer the pass is caught and the re- duction of the points credited for q score directly resulting from a forward pass 10 the same basis as that now given to a feld goal, namely three points, might help re- lieye t1e present "open" game.
 Tt is realized that there are at- tendant difficulties in deciding or not score Is the direct result of an aerial attack; however, undoubtedly some means of arriv- ing at a correct solution can be de- vised, until such time as the rules committee decides to remove the for ward pass entirely from the rules"

 Many of the officers Of the w. G, A. hold important positions Tn the L. s, c, A. and this allegation was strengthened when Henry A. Gard ncr, brother of Robert A.

PADDOCK UPH0LDS
 WRIST WATCH USE
ThinksU. s. Runners Will Adopt
 Nurmi'S System

New York, Dec. 16.-Paavo Nur- mi, Finn. Is the most remarkable runner of all time.
 Charley Paddock tells you that.
 Yet Nurmi will be beaten the zrst race he runs in this country next month.
 Paddock also tells you that. This bewildering paradox needs an ex- planation.
 "Nurmi will be beaten in this country" says Paddock, chiefly be- cause he will be running indoors. Nurmi is an outdoor runner. In Finland there is no indoor tracks. Very likely Nurmi has never run an indoor race in his life.
 Hard Running Indoors
 'The difference is greater than you'd suppose. The air is heavier. The track is harder. Usually the straightaways are shorter and the turns more abrupt. Continuous practice will minimize these handi- caps somewhat, But Nurmi will get little practice"
 Paddock thinks Americans must soon adopt Normis unique system of self-timing. The Finn runs with watch in the palm of his right hand. He knows exactly how fast he Is going. how many seconds 1t takes him to do a lap, how close he sto a record, or how far away from one.
 ITO some this system may sound too complicated to be practical" says Paddock. but think 1t has its good points, especially in the middle distances and the long runs. There is such a thing as regulating the human body to a maximum speed for a certain length of time, and that is what Nurmi has done.
 Has Unique Idea "Of course 1t takes a terrific amount of practice to do this. Nurmi got the idea himself. Day after day he would time himself over a given distance. Finally he hit upon a speed which he thought best fitted to his power, and this became the standard speed
 Tn the races that followed he would run the last lap as fast as the first lap. The pace throughout was uniform and even. That was how he ran in the Olympics. He was marvel to us Americans.
 We were accustomed to see dis tance runners come staggering down the stretch, puffing and snorting, their faces twisted with agony. Nurmi, however, finished with out visible effort. with an easy, steady stride and breathing as light ly as If he had been out for a stroll" "
 Who'll beat Nurmi in this coun- try? Paddock thinks 1t will be Willie Ritola, another Finn. Not that Ritoa Is greater runner, but that he is used to indoor running. Nurmi beat Ritola in Paris on an ! outdoor track.
