DOPE ON RACES In DUCKPIN LEAGUES

off the attack of the King Pin club and
placing itself one game in front of its
arch enemy in the race for the Dis
trict League flag for 1929. Jack Whalen
was easily the star of the match with a
1863 set, topped off by game of 152
in the curtain dropper.
Stanford Paper Co. took possession of
third place by taking three games from
Petworth, while Curb Cafe was forced
to lose one game to Arcadia Stanford
used three new bowlers in Heffelfinger,
Swain and HarVille The latter, an old
timer, did creditably well with a 355
set Mandley, however, rolled 383 for
high score. All Petworth bowlers were
below their usual average. Mag Wood
OF Arcadia and Henry Hiser of Curb
staged thrilling battle as these two
clubs met. Hiser won the decision with
a 389 set to Woods $50.
Northeast Temple continued to keen
above the 500 mark by winning two
games from Meyer Davis and held onto
fifth place. Temple has been a disas-
trous opponent for several clubs this
year, and will doubtless have much to
say as to which club wins the pennant.
The scores of the last match were not,
available at this time.
Progressive Printers consented to
postpone the match with Cornell's Lunch
as the latter's ranks have been de-
pleted by sickness.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 15.-Colum-
bias Lions of the basket ball court
make their seasons bow in the East
ern intercollegiate League tonight
against the Tigers of Princeton. The
game is to be played In the Columbia
gymnasium.
Although they have yet to show their
wares in league competition, the Lions
are strong favorites to win on the
basis of the early season record, which,
while not impressive, is much better
than Princetons. Columbia has won
four games and dropped decisions to
New York University. Army and st.
Johns of Brooklyn. Princeton has lost
seven games in 10 starts.
Tonight's game Is the Tigers third
of the league season. They dropped a
decision to Yale in their league debut
but conquered Cornell last Saturday
night.
Columbia hopes to emulate three
other metropolitan area fives, New York
University, Fordham and City College
of New York All these trounced
Princeton by Is points or more. Co
lumbia rooters, in fact, are getting q
bit of comfort out of the fact that
N. Y. u, which beat the Lions by two
points, drubbed Princeton by 16.
George Gregory, CoIumbia's Sopho-
more center, possibly will draw down
the major share of popular attention
He has scored 26 field goals and %
fouls in games and, some observers
believe, will be the sensation of the
league.

ON THE SIDE LINES
With the Sports Editor
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

40 long as base ball remains the
immensely popular sport 1t Is,
suggestions for changing it
~ will continue to be made. One
would think the revisionists
would devote their attention to
games which are waning in appeal,
on the theory that the facts indi-
cate they are in need of tinkering
with, but not so.
Here is the So-called national pas
time, surviving scandals that rocked
its foundations and showing a
steady increase in attendance as
well as receipts in addition to an
ever-increasing higher plane of SAL
aries for players, yet suggestions for
improving" it never cease.
Not all these proposals emanGtes
from mere fans, tUho are undc-
Qudinted NTH the intricGcieS OF the
sport. That OF President Heydler
OF the National League to haze it
made optional NTH manager
whether pitcher bat for himself or
glue tDGy to a pinch hitter is a case
in point.
Some of the suggestions have
cable, but all doubtless are advanced
by jealous individuals who are sim
cere lin their desire to help the
cause.
It seems to make no difference to
the progenitors of these ideas that
executing anything but minor
operation on the rules of base ball
is one of the most difficult feats in
the world of sports. They keep
trying.
1T is our 0fhdnd recollection that
the abolition of freak deliUerieS such
as spitbGll, emery ball, sinner, etc,
is the only change OF note made in
the regulations governing diamond
play since the tould strike rule 1UGs
enacted, before our sandlot days.
1t is true an attempt was made
not so many years ago to curb the
intentional-pass evil by the stipula-
ton that it should be unlawful for
a catcher to step out of his box to
receive a pitch-out before the
pitcher delivered the ball, but unani-
nous n-Observance made that a
dead letter from the start, and all
the other proposals, even the good
ones, such as numbering the players
to help spectators in following the
game, have been given the go-by.
Some of these schemes are ad-
vanced, thoroughly ignored, and
then hauled back In the hope more
favorable consideration, if any, will
be accorded them.
Such a one is the plan Which its
author claims tCiH effect q better ball

It is commended that in this age
Of the "lively ball." with three, four
and more pitchers frequently being
knocked out of the box as a result
Of cann0nading that has placed a
premium on smuggling and practically
killed the art of base steling, the
fans would welcome change.
It is asserted having a foul on the
third strike constitute an out would
conserve pitching talent, lessen the
number of hits, save numberleSS
balls now knocked out of the lot as
home runs. shorten the playing time,
encourage bunting. reduce the num-
Der of passes and help materially
toward the shrinkage Of high-score
games.
That's the gist of the plan of one
retormer Which recently found its
Ray to our desk UiG Uncle Sans
mail. and another which GrriUed at
about the same time urges that if
the big leagues Wdnt to experiment
they might try conducting free
base bah school, supervised By a
paid er-big league player, and there
by assist the kids by teaching them
the right tUGy to play the game.
Base ball doesn't need any To-
man teams" asserts this correspond
ent, adding, mine made it. Ten
will kill it, Then he goes on:
why hitter for a pitcher? A
better idea would be to teach the
pitcher how to bat. Let them take
off those sweaters and go up to the
plate like other players with the
idea of hitting the ball and not to
look at three Go Over and then sit
down. AS matter of fact a catcher
does far more work during game
than pitcher and has to use just
as much exertion. If not more. But
how would you stop them laughing
if a hitter was suggested for a
catcher?"
Base ball is made great due to
the fact that the Son is seeing and
playing the same game his Father
did. To get dWGy iron, this iOould
certainly hurt not help base ball.
Let the game stand as it is today,
the leader OF all sports.
