If en efficiency man were asked to find out what ails all sport in this country, his report would sum up as '"roo much government" Then he probably would recommend the for nation of uper-government to gov ern all the cluttering little govern ments, which would complicate the existing complication still further, such being the characteristic method of efficiency.
 Regardless of whether Charlie Pad dock should apologize to the National A. A. U. for saying he didn't like the cut of the jib of President Prout, the squabble has revealed a condition of too much government in amateur athletics. There are the A. A. U. and the N. c. A. A. A. A.. and the I. C.. A. A., and the Y. M c. A. and a whole alphabet of bossy bodies. some of them officered in part by men who think the 40 is a suburban local on the Lackawana. There are jurisdictiona1 jealousies and sniping feuds over the delimitation of govern ing powers, and the net gain of sport from their fussy ministration is mic- roscopic.
 In the business of baseball, whose owners for the most part couldn't slap a fungo past the pitcher with a willow bat, the government is far less orderly than the most riotous misbehavior to be seen on the ball field. Ban Johnson warns in his plethortc bosom a feud against Judge Landis. Club owners bear petty anil mosfties against helpless ball play ers and arrange whispered boycott agreements, as in the case of Rube Benton. The majors wrangle over matters of commerce with the minors and the minors wrangle right back The relations between player and club owner are fraught with unfair ness. favoring the owners invest ment. and the government is devoted almost entirely to the preservation Of business monopoly. with only perfunctory attention to the sporting aspects of the enterprise.
 Boxing government has always re- flected the outlandish pomposity of a royal group in musical comedy. When William Muldoon was commits sioner in New York, he must have laughed at himself that time when he suspended a man for failing in respect for the omnipotent and om- nfscient commission. Charlie Chap lin himself never conceived more sub- tie o!oiiSry than some or the official decisions of William Muldoon. And once the boxing government took a swing at Jack Dempsey and hit itself smack on the chin. That was the time Dempsey complied with a royal order to sign for fight with Harry Wills. Dempsey having inside infor- mation that the political situation would not permit the bout.
 Even golf has its governmental troubles between the Western and the United States associations, re- spectively. and. in football, the "big three" says to all the world: You must do our way or we'll pick up our marbles"

sure that they got the pitching signs. Billy could hit. field and run base and was never bothered by any kind of pitching. in other words. Billy Sullivan was a great catcher.
 Lou Griger was another old star that I would want on my ball club. He liked the game and knew every fine point. He was cool and deliber- ate and had an arm like a whip. think Griger was as good a catcher as I ever saw on breaking up the double steal. He seemed to have a knack of knowing when the runner would start and whether the man on third was really coming in or was merely making bluff at it. He picked off many one of them. Gri- ger was a good hitter and base run ner.
 Yes, I think that would be win ming all-American leagre team. No doubt of it.

a member. Peyser intimated that

charged that DIR. Ballou had con-
