Officials Promise Action on
Cases Like WiIIie's and
Mrs. MaIIory's

One OF the things done by the
recent meeting Of the Amateur
Athletic. Union was interesting. "A
promise Of action to prevent in the
future cases such as that Of Willie
RitOla was made by the delegates
as they brought the meeting to
close. Ritola received the benefit
pr some American training and then
went back to compete against this
country in the Olympic games.
1t is hard to see how this can
be prevented, unless the Olympic
rules are changed. 1t is probable
that Ritola would have been willing
to represent this country, for he
has announced his intention of he
coming citizen. But he was barred
from doing so by the rules. The
case Of Mrs. Molla Mallory in tennis
was similar one. Mrs. Mallory
played her best tennis as an Amerl-
can, but was denied place on cur
team, forcing her to compete for
Norway.
In the case of Ritola, however,
it would seem that the American
training did not have so much. to
do with it as the natural ability!
Ritola, in company with most of the
foreign distance runners does his
own training to a great extent.
The northern races Of Europe seem
to have the basic stamina for ex-
ceiling in the longer runs. It seems
TO be a racial superiority, rather
than national one.

Because Washington fans like
to keep in touch with their team,
here are those players reserved
by the Griffs for 1925:
Adams, a second baseman
drafted from the San Francisco
club.
Lefty Brillheart, southpaw
hurler who finished the 1924 cam
paign with Richmond, covering
himself with glory.
elise Dudley, a right-handed
pitcher at Tampa last spring.
Dad Hawkins, who was at Tampa
in 1923, a tall right-handed hurler
of considerable promise.
Vean Gregg, veteran south
paw hurler, bought recently from
Seattle, champions of the Pacific
Coast League.
Harry Kelly, a young right
handed hurler from Memphis.
Leo Moon, a young southpaw
pitcher at Tampa last year and
sent to the Texas League where
he had fair success.

Mcmillan Has Two
Roles to Fill at
Centenary

"Bo" Mcmillan, the chap who
did more than any one else to
make Centre College known in
college football, is still an in
teresting figure in the game.
He is the coach of the Gen.
tenary College team which de-
feated Boston College last Sat-
urday, and he combines his
coaching with the task Of
training his team.
When, players are hurt, Bo
comes running out on the field,
hatless and excited. He stoops
down over the player. 'You
all right, SOM" he inquiries in
a Texas drawl. "Feelin' kinda
tough, Ell? / guess I'd better
take you along with me, but
perhaps you can come back in
the next half If you're feelin'
better. Come on along"

Eddie Gill, for instance, declined
to accept a transfer from the
Washington club to some South
ern Association outfit. He kicked

carried on the Washington clubs

Four years ago little Tony Mar
hefka went to Florida with the
Griffmen. It was impossible for
him to make good. He was then
well beyond thirty years of age.
He declined to stay with the Flor
ida State League, went home to
Shamokin, Pa, and played in

About the same time Jerry
Conway, young pitcher up in

tract and refused to report, pre-
ferring to play basketball to try
ing for big league berth. Uncle
Nick Altrock vouched for Conway
after watching him in action, but
don't blame Uncle Nick.
Bill Conroy is the Chicago boy
who was making good at third

was coming to him for sticking
around. Then he developed some
physical ailment and stung the
