STATE TEACHERS

Association Is INDICATED
When Bussewitz Dis
misses All Claims.
OLD LITIGATION ENDS

The Wisconsin State Teachers assoc
citation has scored complete vlndica-
tion in the several suits brought by
NJ. A. Bussewitz, former secretary,
when the plaintiff withdrew all of his
claims in the circuit court at Milwau-
kee, according to Attorney Villas Wha-
lev Of Racine, member Of counsel Of
defense.
The case is Of interest to local teach
ers who are members of the associa-
tion. Guy F. Loomis, Kenosha's SUPER
intendent Of schools, is treasurer Oh
the state association and in his official
capacity was brought into the case as
witness. Several sessions in connec-
tion with the case were held in Ke-
nosha
Bussewitz withdrew his claim for
$1,000 which he had claimed was due
for back salary when the attorneys for
the teachers moved for a directed ver-
dict after completing the arguments.
He also withdrew two other suits
against the association, one 100000
libel action against the association
and E. G.. Doudna, present secretary,
which was pending in the supreme
court, and a conspiracy case against
Doudna and two other officials of the
association.
Deposed as Secretary.
The ex-secretary brought his first
action for $4,000 when he was replaced
as secretary by Doudna. Doudna was
made full-time secretary at a salary
of IS, 900 year. Bussewitz had served
as part-time secretary at salary OF
$3.50 year from 1912 to 1922.
Judge Fairchild entered demurrer
to the libel action which was later
started and Bussewitz appealed it to
the supreme court. The conspiracy
case was started three weeks ago in
the Milwaukee court.
"Action Of Bussewitz in withdrawing
all his cases completely vindicates the
teachers association" Villas Whaley
stated in commenting on the case. The
plaintiff gets nothing and each side
has agreed to foot the bills for the
three years litigation.
william F. Hannah was the chief
for the defense, assisted by
Villas Whaley and T. W. Brazeau.

The blue waters of the old Potomac
will be churned up considerably on
the afternoon of Saturday, August Is.
when the Corinthian and Capital
yacht clubs hold their regatta over
the course from Key Bridge in
Georgetown to Highway Bridge in
Potomac Park.
Six events make up the program
arranged by the regatta committee
headed by w. A. Rogers of the Corin-

A free.for-all for cruisers and an
other for speed boats will draw heav-
lily from the ranks of the two organi-
cations. while handicap races for the
same craft should provide some close
competition.
For those to whom mere speed is
no novelty, thrills will be provided in
large quantities by an aquaplane
event in which girl swimmers will
ride the swaying boards in the wake
of tipping motor launches.
While power craft occupy a major
place on the program of events, hui
man muscle will come in for a test
in a race for single blade canoe fours.
The regatta is to be held under the
sanction of the American Power Boat
Association.
II. A. Rogers of the Corinthians and

The impact of the bat on the ball
gives the primary acceIeration 10 the
flight of the ball when the pitch is
met. When the ball is batted down to
the turf the greater its bounding ca
pacity the farther it will travel, all
things being equal. The drive behind
the ball when it is met by the bat
varies according to the strength of
the players and the accuracy of their
eyesight in making contact with the
ball.
The actual test of bounding capac-
ity was determined by experimenting
with different balls under SIMILAR CON
ditiOns. The bound Of the 1925 ball
was exactly the same as the bound of
the 1914 ball to the decimal part Of
an inch, both being 165.
Playing Tactics Changed.
The National League agreed that
of playing the game. Pitchers are
not so good as they were. That is
conceded, and, in addition, they are
not pitching with the liberty in the
rules which was permitted them prior
to 1920, when the spitball and all NAL
treatments of the ball We're abolished.
Manufacturers of the ball have held
from the outset that it was made ex-
actly as the specifications demand.
The unusual number of home runs
are attributed to the home-run mania,
which resulted in too many short out
fields. 1t is admitted that the IegaIiz-
ing of the home run at 235 feet. an
obsolete Standardization brought about
years ago, is farcical. The standard

"LIVELY BALL" STAYS
IN NATIONAL LEAGUE

NEW YORK, July 16.--The So
called lively" ball will remain in play
in the National League, according to
an announcement from the offices of
President John A. Heydlsr, following
the regular Midsummer meeting of
the club owners here yesterday
The decision is understood to have
been made after a discussion of the
recent epidemic of home runs. attrib-
uted by some to the resilient base
balls used this season and by others
to the reduced size of the outfields by
the er-encroaching bleachers.
The club owners also adopted the
rule which provides for share of the
world series money to teams finishing
in fourth place by cutting the players
pool from rs to 70 per cent. Players
Of teams finishing in second and third
places will lose nothing by the new
ruling. The per cent, which
amounts to about a $3.50 reduction for
each player on the winning team and
$3.50 for those on the losing, accord
ing to averages of the last five years,
will go to the fourth place club.
Two reports were presented on the
ball now in use. One was from Prof.
Harold A. Eales of the chemistry di-
vision at Columbia University, and
the other by Julian Curtis, president
of the A. G. Spalding Co., who manu-
facture the balls.
Prof Eales had been asked by the
league to analyze the base ball now in
use and those used in 1914 and 1920
and to report on the difference, if any,
in their texture. The report he pre-
sented, it was stated, declared he had
found no apparent difference in the
various horsehide spheres. 1t was
added, however, that he still is ana
lying the balls to ascertain if the
material used is of a better grade
than in other years.
The report of Curtis maintained the
attitude taken by the Spalding COM
pany that there has been no change
in the structure of the ball except
possibly for the use of finer material.

Bluege, who went back to sixth po-

the ball savagely on three occasions,
but got only one safety, a single to

great stop by Fred Haney and in

Rip Collins must have a sore neck

a hot smash from Goose Goslin's bat

Adams apple and the lobe of left ear
and bounded back of first base for a
single. Rip Topped, but came up smil-
ing and did some hurling thereafter.

Goslin q fine chase. The ball caromed

wall, then to a pile of knocked-down
circus seats near the scoreboard. with
the Goose in hot pursuit, but he got it
in time for a throw that compelled Lu
who had turned second base, to hustle
back to that station.
Ruether's wicked smash in the fifth
almost knocked Tavener off his feet.
but the Tiger shortstop recovered
quickly enough to get the slow.run-

Cobb was the leading batter of the
fray, with a brace of doubles and a
single in three times at bat He also
walked once and scored two runs.
One of his two-baggers was down the
left field line and the other over first
base.
Scott made snappy play on Haney
in the sixth and held Woodall at third

the round.

fun was made of the home runs batted
on that field.
President Heydler is of the opinion
that if an attempt We're made to in
crease the legal home-run distance It
would be impossible TO extend il
farther than the shortest fence now
in existence on a major league park,
which is about 260 feet, whereas the
legal distance should not be less than
$50 feet.
The world champion Washingtons
are suffering one of those variations
in winning ability which so often have
proved to be conspicuous of winning
teams in the American League. But
the temporary absence of Walter
Johnson would be a heavy handicap
for any ball team to shoulder.
The most interesting phase of recent
developments in the American League
however has been the demonstration
by the Philadelphia Athletics that the
team has a comeback" The Mack
men were slipping badly when they
hit Detroit, but they have been going
great guns since then.
While the trip of the Athletics to
date has been overwhelmingly in their
favor and the WashinGtons still are
up in the race, the season must go
much longer than it has TO prove that
one of the stronger Western teams is
without hope of being a possible con
tender for the pennant. Long and
successful drives are not impossible
ities in the league.
