SHIFT RULE
IS GOOD
THING
BY CHRISTIAN tRED) eagle

The rule requiring all players
of the team in possession OF the
ball to come to an absolute stop
in all shift or huddle plays and
remain stationary for at least
one second before the ball is
snapped, is undoubtedly a fair
regulation. Nevertheless, much
justifiable criticism is directed at
the committees suggestion that
in the absence of stop watch the
period of one second may be
measured by the referee counting
rapidly 1-2-3-4-5-6.
The rule is a reasonable
provision. It is aimed at the
rapidly growing practice Of
developing a backfieId to the
extent Of obtaining a flying
start and consequently an
unfair advantage over the de-
'fensiye eleven.
However, no matter how salu'
tary a rule may be, 1t must be
uniformly applied if the players
are to guide themselves properly
A second" is an exact time limi'
tation: and the count will vary
with the rapidity of its computa'
ton on the part of the various
/ referees.
A team may be completely
within the rule according to the
measurement of time on the stop
watch, but with an improper
count by a conscientious referee
may draw an unjustified penalty
The same time for the
shift may be used by a team
in one game and be judged
perfectly legal and yet in an
other game with a different
official the same play exc
cuted in precisely the same
manner and similarly timed
may be penaliZed.
It is fair to assume that the
count, if allowable, will be used
by the referee to determine the
time almost wholly to the exclu'
sion of the stop watch. In the
excitement of a game few Off
cials other than the time keeper
think of using a watch. This is
especially true of the referee. be.
cause it is his more important
duty to watch the players on the
offense. 1t is difficult, although
not impossible. to look at a watch
and still observe the players.

The Washington times., 1930-08-28

Publicly, Mr.. B. Ruth, whose
dominion IS thus assailed for the
first time in four years, takes a
most singular stand. He stoutly
maintains that Wilson is a great
hitter. Privately, however, it is
understood that Mr.. Ruth is some
what more interesting. He, too,
is believed to feel that Lewis
Robert Wilson will stop like an
exclamation point when he hits
the cement with the Cubs for
the month of September.
I suspect that in this case Mr..
Ruth is taking the wholly par
donable stand that, of any two
home run hitters, he likes himself
the best and, at that, I don't
say the local sharpshooters are
wrong about Wilson. All I say is
that anybody who thinks he is
right about Wilson is liable to be
wrong. The man violates almost
every precept of behavior.
He is a right hand hitter, yet
he hits to right field where the
home runs grow. He is what the
ball players call Toner" i.e., a
gentleman who prefers company,
provided it is his own; yet he is
very popular with the ball club.
In appearance, he is a sort of
daschund on two legs, yet those
grotesque legs carry him very
rapidly and not ungracefully over
the ground
For twenty-fOur hours sew
eral years ago, he went
around shifting random Gin
cinnati players upon the
muStache; yet they say he is
a peaceful, even dOcile, man.
So 1 contend that, if Wilson
has hit only .16 of his home runs
out side Chicago, it doesn't neceS-
sarily signify that he won't hit a
dozen or so on the road this
time, just to be contrary; Mr..
Wilson is very much like that.
It behooveS him, of course, to
keep moving right along the line
of march, for Ruth hasn't hit
one in so long that steps may
be taken to declare legal holi.
day to commemorate the last
occasion. There is nobody more
sinister than a Mr.. Ruth who is
overdue with an epidemic of home
runs. He was on his way to a
new record late in June when Ee
flung himself CALAMITY into the
screen at the Yankee Stadium
and almost forgot to bring his
The Washington times., 1930-08-28

This, it might be mentioned,
was the year in which Gehrig
came forward to challenge his
monopoly, much as Wilson is do
ing today. However, Gehrig
stopped in the stretch and, in
spite of what they say about
the mans road record, I am not
so sure that Wilson will do the
same.
He still has eight games left in
Chicago. He has three each in
New York and Brooklyn, where
the fences are short, and four in
Philadelphia where the fence is
shorter. It isn't too far away
in Pittsburgh, either and four
games will be played there. All
in all, see no reason why he
shouldn't hit at least six more
before October and thus be the
first man, other than Ruth, to
break into the 50-a.year class. If
he does better than that, he
might beat Ruth himself. If he
does only as well, he will have
an outside chance. If he doesn't
he will have practically none.

GROUPS WORK
TOGETHER
SMOOTHLY
BY GINO SINH

Dy OANO SANA
The crack that too many cooks
spoil the broth was given the
lie in the recent National Public
Parks tennis championships when
five organizations co operated
smoothly in running the nam,
moth event.
Here it wouldn't be amiss if
we repeat a question we heard
quite often in the course OF the
tournament. It caused us to
start an investigation which
brought out the facts in this
article.
Everywhere you turn there
is a president or chairman"
was the common query. They
are strewed all over the lot.
How Gomez"
First and foremost, the tourna.
ment was under the auspices Of
the United States Lawn Tennis
Association, and that august body
has two committees taking
charge of public parks tennis.
The most important is the
National Public Parks Tennis
Committee, under the chairman
shin of Dawson Obear, Of st.
Louis. This committee is di-
rectly responsible for running the
tournament and enforcing the
y. S. L. T. A. rules.
The other U. S. L. T. A. body
is the National P. P. Champion
ships, of which Winfree johnson,
of Washington, is the head. The
business of this committee is to
make all arrangements for the
annual championship in the city
selected for the tournament.
Johnson's powerful influence and
position made him the ideal man
for the position this year and ne
took full advantage of all means
at hand to arrange what is con-
sidered the finest tournament
conditions in the history OF pub
lie parks tennis.
Both of the above named
committees are named by the
II. s. L, T. A. executive di-
rectors and are directly under
their jurisdiction.
Then there is the National
Public Parks TENS Association,
which elects it's own officers. and
acts as independent Of the U. .
l., T. A. as an amateur tennis
body can and still carry on Tor
the greater glory and peace OF
the game. Harry P. Eichoff is
president of this organization.
Two local organizations com
plete the circle.
The D. C. Public Parks group
under the direction OF BOD
Newby, president, assisted by
FELIX M. Silva, secretary, and
Herbert Shephart, treasurer, bore
the brunt of the work OF actually
running the tournament, provld'
ing the officials, arranging
schedules, recording scores ano
lastly but most certainly not
least, footing the bills.
Winfree JOhnsOn's Welfare
and RecreatiOnal Association,
furnished the. courts, kept
them in spick-span condition
throughout the tournament
and saw that everything was
In ship-shape all the time.
The excellent condition OF the
courts brought Johnson CONSIDER,
able praise, as did the big time
refereeing of Louis L. Doyle ano
Bob Newby, and the score keeping
OF. Felix Silva, genial little I'll
nino tennis enthusiast.
So that proves too many COOKS
can get along very nicely. If they
Know Just what they are sup
posed to do. Besides we Wash:
ingtonians can be justly proud OF
the part our home-trained cooks
played in promoting the whole
affair. They did a very. very sat
isfactory job, according to the
outsiders who had to work with
them.

EVERYTHING!
MhEH0LMAN

The Apache and Mohawk clubs
are willing to virtually divide
their 1880 Sunday football dates
at Griffith Stadium-that is if
these clubs are permitted to char
ter that spot.
Manager Seymour Hall, of the
Apaches, and Patsy Donovan, of
the Mohawks, have intimated
that they will both arrange the
remainder of their schedules for
out of town points.
Entrance in a proposed Dis
trict unlimited league to be made
up of six teams does not interest
either of these representative
teams, however. That is unless
all entrants agree to post a $500
membership fee which will be
turned over to the championship
team at the close of the season.
Donovan, outspoken, in his
sentiment, is backed up solidly
by Hall and the Apaches. He
said today:
"The MOhawkS and Apaches
have tried to build up foot
ball for years now. We have
plenty of expenses and good
material costs money.
"I'm convinced that not
enough local teams with draw
ing power can be banded to
make a league a success.
Whatever gate receipts were
derived would be attracted
by either the Apaches or
Hawks. Before we give in to
such a proposition the Mo-
hawks will diSband!"
Donovan declares, and rightly
so, that the Mohawks and
ApacheS have never lodged
logical District contender. Rather
ALL promising elevens have been
encouraged by these Standout Dis
trict combines.
If some worthwhile dark horse
shows up. Patsy declares. the Mo
hawks will personally allow it a
couple of dates.
Last year. with Griffith Sta
dium contracted, Donovan readily
stepped aside to permit the pres
entation of the Apache-St. Mary's
CelticS clash for South Atlantic
independent honorS.
Deprived of a playing fielo

a year ago, the Apaches. woul6
