THE cANMAKERs COMEBACK


That heading seems to pretty
well cover last Sundays ball game
between the American Can Co.
team from Seattle and Vashon s
own Leghorns.
After having lost to the Leg
horns l to 0 earlier in the season,
the Canmakers came back and turn
ed the tables to the tune of a IL
to 4 licking for the Home towners.
Despite the big margin of win
shown by the final score it was
more or less pitchers battle thru
out, both chuckers tanning good
iy number of the stick wielders.
Erb's support in the first inning
was nothing to write home about
and due to this the visitors pushed
four scores across, none Of which
could be called earned runs.
More new faces in the Leghorn
lineup last week. Cliff Page who
gave such a fine account of HIM
self last year was back and altho
lie got away to bit of bad start
he got going much better as the
game heated up. We are expecting
more of his last years form be-
Fore long now.
Martin Dannewig gave up his
bricks and hod for enc day and
showed that the brick singing
keeps him in form, by the way he
handled the ball and bat.
Carl Bridgeman took a rest from
his grocery delivering for the day
and did his share of delivering the
goods in right field.
Between the second and eighth
innings it was pretty tight ball
game but the Canmakers started
and finished too lucky for the Leg
horns, so that's that.
Next sunday-same time, $50
p. insane place, Vashon II. S.
grounds, the Leghorns will take
on the Dudley Motor Co. team of
Tacoma.
Sec" Erb is pretty well ac-
quainted with lot OF these play
ers from Tacoma and its quite a
kick 10 see him fan a bunch of the
fellows he has played ON the same
team with.
Come ON out to the game Sun
day and have a look for yourself.

doors, if at all. When the issue came
before the floor Of the N. G. A. A. con-
vention, the 1923 appointments we're
ratified unanimously and without dis
cuSsion.
After it was accomplished, Hall, who
had filed the committees annual rules
report earlier in the day, expressed
confidence that the changes would meet
widespread approval.
"It provides a much fairer represen-
tation,' Hall declared. "The members
now represent large districts rather
than their particular colleges. The
coaches also have bigger voice"
The prospect of any further changes
in the gridiron rules for 1923 has
dwindled as result Of Halls report,
in which the committee chairman ex-
pressed satisfaction with the effect Of
the changes made this year and de-
clared no alterations were favored for
next season, beyond such action as
may be needed to clarity and codlfy
the present regulations.
There may be some fireworks when
the football coaches hold their annual
meeting tomorrow, overhauling the
rules among other affairs, but the con-
sensus among gridiron men gathered
here appears opposed to "tinkering"
with the rules or considering any radl-
cal alterations.

WARD HERO OF FIRsT

1t is baseball tradition that the team
that wins the first game of a short
series, nine times out of ten emerges
victorious. That explains why the
players are, under such mental strain
in the opening of any big series. The
big stakes and the Importance of the
game have tendency to make the
players tighten up and, therefore, not
do their best
In the first game of the 1912 series
Joe Wood, then an outstanding star
of the American league, went into the
last half of the ninth inning with his
club holding 4-3 lead over the Giants
McGraw's club, in an effort to avert
defeat, staged desperate rally. In
the twinkling of an eye Wood found
runners on second and third and only
one man out.

Trained to the minute, Pennsylvania
and California let down sharply today
in practice, going through light signal
drills for the game Saturday which
will mark renewal of football relations
between the two big universities after
an absence of three years
On January l, 1925, the Pennsylvania
Quakers came west to suffer 14-O
trouncing by the California Bears.
This year, Coach 10y Young has a
team that was a threat on eastern
gridirons Pennsylvania supporters al
ready are counting on a victory over
California, whose regular season was
not impressive.
All Of the Pennsylvania squad are in
great condition after nearly two weeks
practice on western soil. In the 1925
game, Coach Young had but a couple
OF days to whip his men in shape.
Memorial Stadium has been covered
by canvas for week and with dry
field assured, both teams are expected
to cut loose with a wide variety Of
pays. Both feature an open style of
play, with Pennsylvania boasting one
of the finest aerial attacks seen in
years. To offset the threat from the
air, Coach "Nibs" Price has drilled the
California squad intensely in defensive
tactics. On the offense, the Bears also
will rely greatly on a passing game.

FOOTBALL FANS
BUSY FIGURING
new YEAR GAME

PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 30 H94-An
football fans with a, statistical turn of
mind shook the dust off seast-wess
game records of the past here today to
find a probable guidepost to the QUIT
come of the Pittsburgh-S Stanford clash
January 2 in the grand finale Of the
annual tournament of roses.
The first flop of the pages of the
record books indicated that a Stanford
victory is needed to bolster the vests
claim to football honorS. The west
has not won a tournament of roses
game in the last four intersectional
engagements. The east has won twice
and two games were tied.
Last year the Cardinals from Palo
Alto played Alabama to z to tie.
In 1925, Alabama came up from be-
hind with a big push and defeated the
University Of Washington 20 to 10.
In the roses battle of the preceding
year, Notre Dame went home with a
81 to 10 count over Stanford to its
glory. Navy tied Washington IA to IA
in 1924.
The vests best snowings in the New
Years day classic were in 1921, when
California defeated Ohio State % to o
and in 1923 when Southern California
trimmed Penn State IA to 8. But the
records show Penn had been trimmed
three times that season.
The figures likewise show that if
Pop" Warmers stanford team takes
the frosting off the New Years cake,
the westerners !, will have earned it..
Pittsburgh is generally regarded as
providing the best seledtion of the
casts football material for the east
west battle The Panthers scored eight
victories in nine games this season.
The ninth game was tie with Wash
ington and Jefferson: On the western
side of the ledger, Stanford has won
seven games, tied once and lost twice.
Pittsburgh scored 279 points against
144 for the Cardinals and was scored
on for only 20 points, where SO mark
ers were rung up against Stanford.

The 1928 New Years classic, sched-
uled for Monday, will see Stanford

formidable an opponent developed In

championship.
Two other times, Stanford has head
ed southwark with high hopes, only to
have them blasted first by defeat, then
by a last minute tie. In 1925 Notre

27-l0 trimming; Alabama fought the

domination of the national football
rules committee, effective ever since it's

bear by gridiron forces throughout the

In meeting the demand for re-or-
ganization, the committees member
ship in 1923 was reduced from 13 to 10
and apportioned on more representa-
tive national basis by the annual con-
vention of it's parent body, the Nation
al Collegiate Athletic association
The east has its representation cut
from six 70 four under the new method
of selection, based upon one member
from each of eight N. G. A. A. districts

same time the demands of college
football coaches for greater representa-
ton are met by the inclusion OF five
mentors Who thus compose half the

The two present officers OF the COM

JOE DIDN'T BLOW

What did Joe Wood do? Blow? /
should say not. He went about his
work in business-like manner just as
if it were an ordinary ball game. In
the most approved style he set down
the next two hitters, the dangerous
Fletcher and the remarkable pinch-hit-
ting Otis Crandall, on Strikes, and he
didn't waste many balls doing it.
1t was thrilling finish, for Wood
had been pressed hard throughout the
game Going at top speed from the
first inning to the finish, he registered
IL strikeouts.
Hod Eller's six straight Strikeouts in
the 1919 series between Cincinnati and
Chicago was easily the most sensa-
tional bit of super pitching / have
ever umpired. In the second inning,
and third as well, he set six White
Sox players in a row down on strikes.
Some Of the glory that should go
with such a performance was some
what dimmed by the fact that Eller
used a trick delivery, the emery ball,
to fool the Chicago batters.

FOUR GREAT FINISHES

During the six world series in which
I have officiated and the many more
that / have seen in the role of So
called newspaper expert, have wit
messed perhaps. a score of well-pitched
games, involving various phases of
what might be well termed hurting
efficiency.
think it would be well for me to
class the greatest world series pitching
have ever seen in four distinct
classes.
First, game featuring a thrilling
ninth-inning finish; second, a game
featuring a sensational extra-inning
finish; third, a feat of super pitching
involving six consecutive strike-outs;
fourth, a near perfect performance
having to 90 with almost machine like
precision.
