PASADENA, Calf, May 27.-Charles
Hoff Norwegian pole vaulter barred
from competition by the A. A. U.
declares here today that he intended
to fight the national amateur or
ganiaztion in the courts Hoff said
Z at is not true that I have been
under A. A. U. suspension since
charges were made against me based
on exorbitant expense accounts and
activities in connection with motion
picture rights.
'"The first accusation regarding
these charges was made on the
seventeenth of April in Kansas as n
llickback from a news real movie
man, but no direct action was taken
against me by the A. A. Uf.
"The A. A. U. action started when
committed the big crime of re-
fusing to start at the A. A. U. meet
in San Francisco, so that the A. A.
U. gate receipts were badly reduced.
$50 far as 1 know, the punish
ment of barring is not legally pros
vided for in any athletic organiza-
tion constitution. If the A. A. U.
committee found it impossible to OBJ
tain certain information, it either
can stop it's investigation or continue
in the hope of succeeding, but it
would be very funny for a court of
judges to hand a defended because
they found it impossible to obtain

clear evidence.
1T seems to me tnat cne A. A. u.
foreign relations committee barring
was premature and after the Ameri-
can public, press and sportsmen gen
orally showed their dissatisfaction it
became necessary to find new ways
for keeping up the discussion.
Il place my case with the public
and ask the A. A. U. foreign rela-
tions committee to come out off
cially and openly with it's charges.
In the meantime, | have decided to
follow the example of the great
American runner, Sheppard, who
years ago went into court against
the A. Z. and was victorious"

A big husky fellow who thrives on

Uses Mack's system.
In the handling Of his ball club one
can see Connie Mack sticking out all
over in the system used by Eddie Col
Inns Of the White Sox.
Collins was trained under Mack. He
leaped into fame as member Of the
Philadelphia Athletics. He once told
me that after being appointed mana.
ger of the White Sox, the first person
he went to see was Connie Mack, to
talk over the situation.
In his selection of pitchers, Mack
prefers to gamble with a second
stringer in an effort to save game,
rather than rush a couple of regulars
to the mound and thereby upset his
teams pitching routine.
Collins takes the same viewpoint.
He prefers to take a chance with a
so-so pitcher rather than disrupt the
workings of the regular staff.
Mack has demonstrated by the sue
cess he has attained, that it is a pretty
good system.

Great Record

Let Alphonse do it,"
; TAat was a by-word last year on
the Baltimore club Of the Internation-
al league, champions of that organi
2ation, when some extraordinary bit
of pitching was desired
And despite the handicap of a
handle like Alphonse, Pitcher Thomas
of the Baltimore Orioles won 80 games
for Jack Dunn, three more than his
closest rival, George Earnshow, of the
same club.
Here are some of the twirling feats
Thomas put over for Baltimore:
Worked in more games than any
other pitcher in the leaguet-56 Work
ed 28 complete gaines. No one else
had better record for starting and
finishing. Was the most-used relief
pitcher, going to the aid of some
falteripg twirler in 1S contests. Led
the league in strike-outs, with 26S.

Is golf good thing for major league
BAH players?
Ten years ago the playing Of golf by
big league stars was matter of no
great concern because only a limited
few indulged.
However, in the last five years the
golf problem has become serious
one for most big league managers. 1t
was encroaching so much on the game
that with some of the athletes golf
conversation had the cali over base
bali.
In spring training, and during the
regular season, golf attire became SO
popular that the athletes, while loll

also told it was question between
Shorestop Boley and Pitcher Thomas
At that time it seemed as if the
Chicago club would have a hard time
getting capable performer at short
Eoley who for five or more years has
been touted as big league, was,
am told, much considered, but the
choice finally fell upon Thomas.
While Thomas hasn't started off
sensationally in the early stages of
the 1925 race, Manager Eddie Collins
thinks highly of his chances to make
the grade.
Thomas has the stuff and knows
how to pitch but must first learn his
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-05-28

looking for short cuts and thrills, we
wonder if a baseball game played ac-
cording to the formula of golf would
speed UP the situation.
For example play the game as if
it were nine holes each inning con.
test Thus;
Chicago and New York scored a
rum in the first inning, this would be
q halved hole
"In the second inning, Chicago
scored run and New York none, put
ting Chicago one UP.
"On this basis we reach the eighth
inning with Chicago three innings or
holes to the good and only two in
nings or holes to play, since nine in
nigs constitute game.
"Golfingly speaking, at this stage
the game would be over, Chicago win
ming three up and two to go. Thus
the fans would be spared sitting
around while the two unnecessary in
nings were played
Thrill Of sport.
While realize the writer was
treating the situation humorously
when he suggested changing the base
ball scoring to the golf system, such
a stunt would never make hit with
the fans.
One of the biggest thrills in base
ball is made possible by the method
of scoring used. That Is, in one big
inning a team that mas trailed
throughout the game can overcome a
big handicap to win.
The home team beaten SO going
into the last, half Of the ninth, still
has chance to pull the contest out
of the fire. Evening the score pro-
longs the game by sending it into
extra inpings, while making more
runs turns apparent dereat into VIC
tory.
The fact there is always a chance
to reverse conditiong until the last
man is retired furnishes the element
of uncertainty on which baseball
thriyes

more like Walker cup golf stars than
big leaguers.
On some clubs golf became such a
menace thai an absolute ban was
placed on the game. While not all
managers treated the subject so seri-
ousiy, golf in moderation was the slo-
gan of the majority.
The chief objection to golf during
the season was not that the game i'm
paired the ability of the player but
rather it took too much out of him
physically and thereby affected his
diamond play.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-05-28
Compares sports.

Along these lines | read a very in
teresting article in Golfers magazine
recently in which Griffith Bonner
draws a comparison between golf and
baseball HNsays:
In golf one usually plays 18 holes,
while in baseball one plays nine in
nings. These innings in the mind Of
the golfer might represent nine holes,
In baseball the object is to make
as many runs or points as possible
while in golf the fewest strokes de-
termine the winner.
Bat boys in baseball are the equiv
alent to caddies in golf, and, like golf,
baseball has it's direction flags.
I'm golf player must drive straight
down the fairway to keep from going
out Of bounds, while in baseball hit
is fair or foul as to it's direction after
it passes the bases>o or over the fence
Baseball has it's bunt similar to the
put in golf A Texas Lacquer in
baseball might be likened to the APP
proach shot in golf"
The writer goes along in this vein
and draws many interesting conc1u
sions between the two sports. He also
makes several suggestions, one of
which would hardly meet with the ap-
proval of the baseball fans. Here it
is:
