Game Has Improved.


THE steady improvement in
baseball is usually seen in
the fielding rather than in
the hitting. It is doubtful if
present day batters or pitchers
have much on the ancients, but
in a fielding way there is consid-
cradle improvement.
The principal reason for field
ing betterment comes in the dia-
monds themselves, just as better
sulkies and smoother, faster
tracks have helped the harness
horses.
Beginning with Paul Hines
stunt in 1878, just exactly twenty
four years passed before Harry
O'Hagan repeated the plav for
Rochester against Jersey City in
the old Eastern League.
The next decade, 19O2-1912,
saw no fewer than seven un
assisted triple plays, six Of them
in the minor leagues.
Between 1912 and 1922 eight
more were added to the record,
seven in the minors.
Seven unassisted triple plavs
have been the record in the last
four consecutive seasons, which is
a record well worth considering
by lovers Of the game.

Before getting away from foot
ball in Washington, it might be
said that everybody seems intent
on giving Jackie Maloney the air
as the Hilltop coach-that is,
everybody but the folks at the
Hilltop.
AS the matter looks to lis, who
have no prejudices in the premises
whatever, Jackie Maloney is mere
ly unfortunate and, if canned,
will be but a goat. The system
at Georgetown, rather than Ma
lOney, appears weak to us.
Facing a typical Georgetown
schedule last September, Maloney
had to find line and a back
field. Outside of that, his work
was nothing. Capt. Paul Florence
and Wiggy King. his best ends,
played seldom. His young back
field was shifted around from
week to week, largely because of
his injuries, until it was almost
impossible to show much team
work.
The Hilltoppers were a griev-
Gus disappointment in 1928 foot
ball, it does not seem quite fair
to shoulder all the blame upon
Maloney.
