NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-{United
Press).-Six months after an un-
fortunate incident during tho 'Ulym-
pic games at Paris marred for a
time the good feeling between
French and American athletes. tho
times comes to set ourselves straight
on the matter. and give somewhat
belated credit where it is due.
Tho recent return OF Dick Hyland,
California rugby star and Olympic
hero. is the occasion for publishing
the true story of the wild afternoon
last summer when the Americans
won the rugby championship ard
the "star Spangled Banner was
Missed by French spectators who
were busy breaking every American
head In sight.
Hyland was the star of the Yam
kee team which downed the French
in the finals in n game featured by
smuggling and other demonstrations
Of exceedingly bad craftsmanship.
The French team and spectators
earned q bad name that day which
has lasted pretty much ever since.
Il is only fair TO point out that Hy-
land. who had most cause to resent
this attitude OF his opponents and
the spectators, has completely
changed his mind and has expressed
hope OF returning to Paris and play
ing rugby on a French team.
1t was Dick who nailed the
French ace" Jaureguy. with n
beautiful flying tackle early in the
final game and upset the crack
player so severely he never got
back into the game. Hyland repeat
eddy raced through the entire
French team. lodging and hurdling

Naturally, Dick couldn't take a

flag'raising, he hurried in search OF

MINORS STILL
UNSAT|SF|ED
IS Players on Option
List for Majors Is
Opposed.
By JOHN b. FOSTER.

Copyright, 1926. Casper Tribune)
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The minor
leagues are not reconciled to the
major leagues placing 15 players
each on option with minor clubs, as
has been the case since 1921. The
matter came up for discussion at
the Hartford meeting. but Secretary
Farrell washed his hands of the
matter by saying that Commissioner
Lands had authorized it and that
he. as secretary, was compelled to
obey orders from the commissioners
office. The minors went on aboard
as insisting that eight players be the
maximum placed on option and they
have not given up their fight to
bring 1t about. despite the fact that
it is evident the majors intend to go
ahead and place 10 on option this
year as in the past.
A minor league authority brings
attention to the fact that when Com
missioner Lands took office 1t was
agreed that tho major leagues could
make rules to govern them But SO
far as the majors and minors were
Jointly concerned. their rules were
TO be made co-jointly and no amend
ment could be made except by con
current action.
1t Is claimed by the minors that
under the rules which were adopted
for the government OF the majors
and minors, the number Of cases in
which optional agreements may be
made is limited to eight for zach
major club. 1t also is asserted and
not denied that in every year since
the agreement went into effect one
or moro major clubs has sent u
more than eight players under OPP
ton and that the majors. by some
process of their own. have amended
the rule so that Is men might be
placed on option.
In the official guide book that
m from the office OF the com
missioner, the rule about optional
agreements reads:
1.-THE number Of cases in which
such optional agreements may be
made is limited as follows: Eight
players by eacl. major league club"
Minor officials say hat this still is
the law of baseball and they want
to know why 1t is not being lived
Up to. They r complaining that
the l5-player limit is placing so
much of the player material in the
hands of the majors that the minors
are becoming mere training schools
for major league players.
