SAN FRANCISCO. February a.
From the laughs going the rounds IN

Bay District, Carl Zamlock, coach at
the University Of California, believes ne

store some Of the former interest TO
college base ball.
Zamlock, without consulting Car
Lands or any national or international
rules committees, amateur or profeS-
sionaI. introduced a simple tnnovation
into the great American pastime Tnlcn
caused players participating in the nrst
regularly scheduled contest to run ABOUT
in all directions. That is meant literal.
~. as the change was that batter,
after clouting the ball, could run 70
either first base or third base, as ne
chose.
The only limitation placed on this
choice was that when there Is q run

the runner. being "out" If he fails 70

many amusing situations caused by un.

critics at the game commented also that
the change makes players use their

MANDELL GETS Even
BY WHIPPING FIELDS

CHICAGO. February "a tP.-Fighting
himself into condition to defend the
lightweight championship. Sammy Man.
dell has evened TIE score with Jackie
Fields, California junior welterweight,
by decisive victory.
Fields won newspaper decision over
Sammy last May In Los Angeles: Man.
dell turned the tables before a packed
coliseum last night.
For two rounds 1t seemed that Fields
was due to repeat his victory, for Sam
my was receiving considerable body
the range in the third. and his long
lunging left soon had one headlight
dimmed for the coast lad.
The champions repeated shots at that
left optic kept Fields mostly on the de-
fensive, and the last half of the battle
saw considerable infighting and clinch-
ing. There was not mark on the
lightweight king at the end of the 10
rounds when Referee Ed Purdy raised
Mandell's hand as the winner.
After Fields early squirt. Mandell
took over the pace-setting. Fields tried
to turn the tide in the ninth. which
wound up In a furious exchange at the
bell. Fields clipped the champion
twice on the head with rights just as
the bell rang and the referee had TO
tear them apart TO end the round.
Mandell tripped once In the seventh
and went down. and in the closing
round Fields fell In Mandell's corner,
as he missed the champion with wild
swing.
The crowd filled the coliseum more
than comfortably. with total receipts Of
approximately $4,000.

Deeds of Valor.

Award Of the Distinguished Flying
Cross to five Army aviators recalls to
the public deeds Of daring in the air.
On May 2. 1923. Capt. John A. Mac
Ready and Lieut.. Oakley G. Kelly
started out from Long Island to fly
to San Francisco. After rough jour-
ney they arrived in the latter city the
next day, thereby becoming the first
transcontinental nonstop flyers. On
June % Of the next year Lieut.. Russell
L. Maughan electrified the world by
crossing the continent in faster time
than any human had made before or
has made since. Leaving New York
early in the morning Maughan arrived
in San Francisco Just after the sun
had set that night. covering more than
twenty-five hundred miles in twenty
one hours and half Next on the list
OF awards comes Lieut.. Arthur c.
Goebel who proved his mettle in VIM
ming the Dole race from San Francisco
to Honolulu-the race which cost the
lives Of several daring airmen who
sought to match their skill against the
elements. The fifth award is made
to Mrs. Marian Gray. widow OF Capt
Hawthorne c. Gray. who scared in a
balloon higher into the skies than any
other human, but who lost his life
in accomplishing the feat.
So many thrilling events have taken
place recently in aviation that some
times the public forgets those that
have gone before. The men to whom
the awards have been made are heroes
of the first order and their deeds should
remain as vivid as the deeds of those
who come after them. Each one has
done his share to promote the great
science Of flying and each one is en-
titled to the plaudits OF his fellow men.

The Nations Ideal.

IN It's annual ceremonial observance
OF the anniversary Of the birthday of
George Washington the American Ma
ton maintains a memory that steadily
becomes more vividly established of
personality that rose far above those ut
his time and that stamped itself per-
r1anent!y upon the historical records.
One hundred and ninety-six years have
passed since the birth OF the child who
was to become the foremost figure Of
the Western World. Time has not
dimmed. but rather glorified him. The
great changes that have occurred have
not lessened the significance Of his
qualities or the value Of his services.
Nor will additional years. or decades.
reduce the stature OF the man who,
when the crisis came in the life of the
colonists. proved to be the iablest Of
them all in point OF generalship and
craftsmanship.
Efforts to depict Washington in terms
Of human frailities and shortcomings
are resented. There is no warrant or
occasion In thus seeking to portray the
faults Of character or conduct that may
have occurred in the course of the long
life Of the man upon whom the des-
TIMES OF the new republic rested, in
the making and in the maintenance in
the first dangerous and difficult years.
It is idle 10 attempt to set forth the
trifing. Insignificant personalia. Mali
cious gossip ran its course during his
lifetime. He was the object OF bitter
criticism, and at times of persistent op-
position. But he rose high above his
critics and his opponents in spirit and
In performance.
The supreme test Of Washington
came IN the early days. when upon his
courage. his fortitude and his faith de-
pended the fate OF the new venture
He withstood that test. emerged from
Ii triumphant. The peccadilloes of hu-
man nature were OF no moment In that
contest. The supreme qualities counted.
And it is the Washington who won the
great fight, the Washington who proved
himself equal TO the task which fortune
had set for him. who held the balance
Of affairs even when selfish counsels
and sectional prejudices and personal
ambitions made for disturbance and
failure. whom the American people re-
spect and honor today.
It is well thus TO pause annually to
consider the man who gave vitality to
the bocy polite Of the new state a CEN
tury and a half ago. There is no mere
hero worship in thus deyoting day TO
the individuality OF the military genius
OF the Revolution and the statesman Of
the process Of Republic making and es-
tablishment. In George Washington
the Nation OF today sees its ideal, and.
despite detractors. despite the lengthen-
!ng perspective Of time, it recognizes
him as the man every male American
would like 10 have been.
