this question can be satisfactorily set
tied will be In the creation Of q Sepa-
rate coast defense department. 1mme-
date opposition will be raised at the
first mention OF creating new Federal
bureau, but sooner or later, It has been
ventured, with the rapid changes and
improvements made in both land and
seacoast defense, some directing agency
will have to be created. In any such
amalgamation that has been suggested
the Coast Artillery. the Army hlimpS
and the mine planter service OF the
Regular Army would be consolidated, it
is believed, with the naval units having
to do with the naval sea boats. Navy
dirigibies. blimps and mines. Though
the present regulations distinctly define
the duties to be performed by represent
aives of the Army and Navy In any
joint coast defense action, 1t Is felt by
some that q more efficient and econom-
ical defense Of the coast line OF the
United States could be maintained uTl-
der one agency. No announcement In
this respect has come from either the
War or Navy Department, and as far
as 1t is known the question has not
even been considered by either Of the
military or naval establishments. There
is food for thought. however, IN the
suggestion of creating a separate coast
defense department, and any such
movement will be followed with great
interest.
Orders have been issued detaching
Capt William S. Pye from duty in the
naval intelligence Office, Navy Depart
ment, and he will relieve Capt. Alfred

Little Variation Shown By
A. Teams In National
A. A. u. Tourney

KANSAS CITY, March 15.-(P-
Basketball is much the same the
nation over.
With slight variations, the type
of game played by the A. teams en-
tered in the 1929 National "A A. u.
tournament was the same whether
the team hailed from the Florida
Everglades, the Rocky Mountains,
the Midwestern prairies or the Pa
cific Coast. The M outstanding
exception was the Ke-Nash-A five
from Kenosha, Wis, whose stall
ing offense was unlike any other
Of the tournament.
The man for man defense was
used by all teams part Of the time
and by most of them all the time.
The zone defense, so popular a few
years ago, is fading from the pic
ture. Its impotence against a clev-
er team was especially emphasized
when the Kansas City Athletic club,
a tournament ~favorite, tried it
against Ke-Nash-A and was routed.

faces will appear in the regular
lineup. Every indication, however,
points to one new pitcher and if the
young man about to be struck by
major league lightning has a curve
ball. Athletic fans will see a great
deal of him. This promising re-
cruit, Bill Breckenridge, late of
Dartmouth, may be the only player
who will have to be introduced at
Shibe Park.
"Breck" Is he is affectionately
addressed by the other players, has
not yet been called on to show spec
ificationS for a curve ball but there
is little doubt that he has every
thing else a pitcher needs.
Foxx at First
Assignment of the versatile jim
my FoxX, of the extra x Foxes,
to first base will cause a revision Of
the infield plans Max Bishop
would have been renominated at
second base but he showed a disin-
clination to sign. Jimmy Dykes will
play second with Joe Boley at short
and Sammy Hale at third. If Bish-
op gets in at second, Dykes still may
get a chance at a regular job by
forcing Hale from third base to a
utility status. Joe HaSSler and Ed
die Collins again will stand by for
infield emergencies.
The outfield of last seasons close
has been brought over intact, with
Albert Simmons, George Haas and
Bing Miller in undisputed possess
sion Of the field. Homer Summa,
former Cleveland outfielder, will be
a reserve assisted by OSSie Orwell,
who was a pitcher last year and
first baseman this spring. Redman
Hume, Southern Methodist Univer-
sity football player, and John Scott,
Mercer University product and pro-
tege OF the Fort Myers KiWaniS club
are not yet ready.
COchrane to Catch
Mickey Cochrane, the most yalu-
able player in the American league
by official verdict, will do the bulk
Of the catching but Cy Perkins is
available as first aid.
Bob Grove, George Walberg, How
ard Ehmke, John Quinn, Eddie
Rommell and George EarnShaw will
be the chief dependence in the
pitching department with Brecken-
ridge, Stewart Bolen, Carroll Yerkes
and Bill Shores available for relief
roles.
The Athletics have plenty of con-
fidence and hope to do better than
they did last year. One department
in which improvement is expected
is that Of double plays. If the run
ners up had been more adept in
getting two at once, they might
have won the American league
championship.

And information is not advice.
Mrs. Bellew was entirely and ethi-
cally corerct. 1t really was a silly
question to raise.
There are curious twists which
may be applied to the Rules Of
Golf, and not a few trick-questionS.
One time I was playing a round
with Charlie Mayo, the English
professional, and we were talking
about the rules and what a perfectly
literal Interpretation might do,
with some Of them. For example
Suppose you were playing on q
course where sheep were grazing"
said Charlie, land you came up to
your ball and found a lamb lying
down over it. Under a literal con-
struction of the rules, could you
move that lamb away in order to
play the shot?"
Sure, I could" said I, land
would"
Charlie grinned and quoted from
Rule IS:
Before striking at a ball in play,
a player shall not move. bend, nor
break anything fixed or growing"
THE lamb is not fixed" I OBJ
jected.
"No-but he's GROWING!" re-
torted Charlie. So I gave up.

YOUTH SAID STRONG
ON HOCKEY DEFENSE

DULUTH, Mimi, March 15.-R
Hockey reporters around the big
circuit may have something new to
write about before long, for Burr
Williams, who jumped from a high
school team to the minor league
hockey. is expected to be on his way
upward shortly.
Williams, 20-year-old defense
player of the Duluth Hornets, came
to the local American Hockey club
two years ago after his high school
team had won the Minneapolis title.
Weighing almost 200 pounds. six
feet tall, a fast skater and a clever
stick handler. Williams is one of
the best defense men in the league.
Burr is understood to be the prop
erty Of Tulsa, a club in which his
father is interested.
Like a lot of other hockey play
ers swinging sticks In American
circuits, Williams learned his hoe
key in Canada, where he formerly
lived.

Fields vs.. Thompson
VIII Decide Holder
Of Dundee's Title

CHICAGO, March 15.-P-The
National Boxing association will
recognize the winner of the Jackie
Fields-Young Thompson fight,
scheduled for the Chicago Coliseum
March 25, as the worlds welter-
weight champion.
Joe Dundee of Baltimore, the
present titleholder, has been given
until March 81 to defend his crown
by the association, but he has no
title match booked and will not fight
before that date.
Thompson, hard hitting Pacific
coast negro, scored a two-rouud
knockout over Dundee here last
summer, but the title was not at
stake as he was forced to enter the
ring over the welterweight limit.
Fields, a product of Chicago and
who earned his reputation on tn
west coast, won a 10-round decision
over Thompson later at San Fran
cisco.
