NAVY NOW DEBATING
POLICY IN COACHING

Whether or not the system of re-
quiring all athletic coaches at the
Naval Academy to become regular
employees Of the institution as instruc-
tors in the department of physical
training-a policy which had much to
do with the difference which severed
the relations of Richard j. Glendon,
rowing coach, and the authorities
will become absolute at Annapolis, is
question which Is exciting much in
terest.
That there are strong reasons for
the adoption Of this system is un-
questioned, but its effect upon the
success of the teams and the degree
to which success should be considered
an objective are matters upon which
there is sharp difference of opinion.
However, there is general agreement
that the interests of the institution
are furthered by having the coaching
done by regular instructors wherever
practicable.
Closely connected with the move
ment toward having all coaching done
by instructors who remain at the
Naval Academy all the year round is
the splendid system which is being
perfected of giving every midshipman
not only physical training, but actual
participation in active competition.
To maintain this system, the regular
assistance Of as large a staff as posi-
BILE is imperative.
There are several sports. however,
among them the most important team
competitions, such as foot ball, base
ball and lacrosse. which still are
coached by experts. who give their
time during the actual season only,
and have no connection with the
academy otherwise than their en-
ployment by the Navy Athletic Asso-
citation.

TO WIN OVER TIGERS
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. July 14.-The Ath-
letics were a game closer to the pace
making Nationals today, while the
Pirates continued to keep their dis:
tance from the Giants. In Philadel-
phia's triumph over Detroit, 4 to J.,
Quinn held the Tigers to hits.
Kent Greenfield, Virginia League
product, limited the Cubs to hits
while the McGraw clan topped Chica-
go, to I. Terry made a circuit wal
lop with one on in the seventh.
Meanwhile the Pirates snatched a
4-to-2 victory from the Robins in a
ninth-inning rally which netted runs.
The Phillies forced the Cardinals to
yield, to 2, after 10 innings, on a
double and a pair of singles. Rogers
Hornsby hung up his twenty-third
home run of the season.
Errors and free passes paved the
way for the Braves downfall to Gin
cinnati, to I. Hood, Virginia League
recruit, made his appearance with
Boston at second base.
The White Sox beat the Yankees,
TO 4, in spite of Lou Gehrig'S homer
with Babe Ruth on first in the fourth
inning.
The Red Sox broke through to a
12-to-11 victory over the Indians,
Pinch-hitter Carlyle's homer with a
runner on the sacks in the ninth
inning giving Boston it's margin.

The Tigers had ripping week last
week-ripping, that is, when you take
into consideration the many vicissi-
tudes through which they have pass
ed, but not quite SO ripping when
compared with some other weeks.
1t must be taken into consideration,
of course, that the Tigers probably
will find the fight harder from now
on to the end of the season. The los
ing teams in the race will begin to
find alibis and get down to the bust
ness of playing for their salaries in
1926. There always comes a time
when ball Nayers begin to realize that
a next years contract must be signed.
The day of that discovery this season
will dawn not later than mid-August.
But even so, considering the 3-point-
a-day gain the Tigers have been max
ing in recent weeks, they must be
conceded at least fair chance of
keeping up a 2-point gain for the rest
of the season. The leaders in the race
will find the going just as hard from
now on as the Detroits, II not little
harder.
Gains made at the expense of Wash
ington and Philadelphia naturally are
the most profitable of all for Detroit
The net advantage to be derived from
swatting the leaders is palpable to
Chicago and leave it churning in the
rear is possible this very week. And
then the road is open to give chase
to the real leaders.
Players of the San Francisco team
have been in demand for two years,
but for the most part they have been
held too high to suit the major league
pocketbooks. Now, however, it ap-
pears that the New York Yanks have
dug down and acquired Waner and
Rhyme, sensational outflelder and a
tip-top average shortstop. for delivery
next season. Waner is the Oklahoma
kid who batted his way into fame
two years ago and who now is batting
better than ever. Rhyme Is not so
sensational but is a very steady piece
Of machinery.

have a grip on Lazerre. a sensational

AS consequence, the complaining

and yesterday word came from Prexy
johnson that the pitcher was sus-
pended indefinitely. Manager Harris
did not hesitate to demonstrate with
Reuther after the latter had displayed
his temper Saturday and made the
pitcher realize just how much the club
could be affected by his actions. Dutch,
after calm reflection, understood how
foolish he had been, and yesterdays

pressed upon him more thoroughly
just how carefully one must conduct
himself in the Johnsonian circuit.
