SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
in TODAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, July Il. kU.D
Those men in blue who, while on
the ball field are combination OF
Mussolini, Stain and a supreme
court judge insofar as authority Is
concerned, are having very tough
time indeed this season, especially
in the National league.
Mister William Klein of the infal-
lible Klems, who swears by all that
is holy that he never called one
wrong in his life, probably would
tell you that all this rumpus about
the umpires being not only blind,
but deaf, dumb, crippled and un-
reasonable in the bargain, is silly
chatter; that most of it comes from
managers and players who are dis
appointed in their standings and so
have to do something to keep the
cash customers awake.
Maybe so, but we doubt it. There's
been entirely too many complaints
from all the clubs, from the cham
pions to the boys in the cellar.
These kicks which have been 60
ing on all season reached climax
a day or two ago in ST. Louis when
Manager John McGraw of the
Giants. and Umpire Clarke ex-
changed pleasantries that resulted
in McGraw's suspension by Presi-
dent John Heydler This incident,
the most spectacular of the season,
was preceded by others in which
such wild hammered men as Lefty
O'Doul of the Robins and Coach
George Burns of the Giants, were
fined and suspended.
The belief that umpiring in the
National was not all that might be
was strengthened when Heydler
forbade three of his arbiters work
ing behind the plate. Also it might
be mentioned that Umpire Lou
Jorda was dismissed near the mid
die of the season.
Old John Pincus Quinn who, 1t is
reported, has been approached by
scouts from the Smithsonian insti-
tute is going quietly about his busi-
ness of being the most remarkable
pitcher in baseball.
John Pincus, who admits as years
but who must be every day of so.
has done remarkable relief work
for the Brooklyn Robins all season.
His splitter, which seems to become
more battling with the passing of
each day has accounted for at least
a dozen of the Robins victories.
Baseball men will tell you that
Quinn has the easiest, freeest mo-
ton of all the pitchers in baseball
like honey pouring out of a jug in
summer time-and that this perfec-
ton of form is the main reason he
has lasted SO long.

HIGH SCHOOL CUNTS
RESUME TOMORROW
Basket Ball Outfits Tied After
First Round Promise Keen
Title Scrap.

Business and Western and Eastern
and Tech basket ball quints, opponents
tomorrow in opening games of the
second-hah series in the public high
school championship races, were tun-
ing-up today. Business and Western
will come to grips at $3.50 o'clock to
open the program.
First-hah competition ended Friday
with all five teams tied at two wins and
two losses, convincing evidence that all
are well matched.
Should the teams in the second series
continue to cut each others throat so
far as title aspirations are concerned,
Tech will beat Eastern and Business will
hang it on Western if only for the rea-
son that Eastern and Western were
winners when the teams met recently
in the opening series games. Eastern
vaEQuiShed Tech, u to %, and Western
was 1928 victor over Business.
Aside from the championship games
Just one match is scheduled tomorrow
among scholastic quints of the District
area 1t will bring together St. Johns
and Georgetown Prep, lusty rivals, who
are certain to put on spirited scrap.
The game will start at 3:l5 O'Clock in
the Georgetown Prep gymnasium at
Garrett Park.
They're a happy bunch today those
youngsters up at st. Adams School.
They are tickled pink over the drubbing
the Cathedral School basket ball quint
handed st. Christopher and Christ
Church School, old rivals. over the past
week end. Should the st. Adams team
win not a single game the remainder
of the campaign 1t will look upon the
season as a big success. The victory
over ST. Christopher was especially juicy
as the Richmond ScholaStics, for years
st Adams dearest athletic foe, have
been taking the measure of the Cathe-
dral School in all sports in recent years.
Bob Freeman, former all-high center
at Western, who is preparing at ST.
Adams to enter Pennsylvania in the
Fall, is the player who has been largely
responsible for the Cathedral School
teams success.

TT IS the graduates associations, the

Y NOTE that some educators are going
into the foot ball rules business
The fact that few of them ever
played varsity foot ball permits
them to approach the subject with an
open mind.
Among other things, I believe that
some of them favor the abolition of the
forward pass. This certainly would
suit your Uncle Gil Dobie, up. above
CayugaS waters. l have heard such
students of the game as Zuppke and
Warner maintain that, If the forward
pass were eliminated, Mr.. Dobie would
chase any opposing team right of the
foot ball field and down into South
America.
The forward pass is the only thing
which gives the little fellow a chance
against the big fellow. The educators
say that the little fellow should pick
somebody his own size, and they prob
ably are right.
The pass is not complicated play
What is complicated, in this day and
generation, is line play blocking, feint-
ing, cnecklng, charging. ThlS must De
done in perfect time with the backs.
Team play. speed, perfect coordination,
those are the things which take prac-
tice and more practice.
Interest Would Go.
WITH the forward pass abolished
w and no means at hand to open
the defense, foot ball would re-
turn to the close. plunging game of
years ago. One thing would be accom-
plished bS throwing out the pass. 1t
would make the game less interesting
and perhaps diminish the gate re-
ceiptS and so remove some of the over
emphasis.
They might take a first step by de-
claring the ball dead at the point where
the receiver of a pass caught it. But.
If were on the governing board of
professional foot ball, I'd simplify the
rules by permitting a player to run
with any loose ball on which he could
get his hands. That would mean more

Of the leadership yesterday en- the
strength of four victories as two Chi
cagoans Allen Hall and Arthur Thurn-
blad, received their first setbacks.
Thurnblad lost his first game in five
starts, so to 49, to the defending cham
pion, Johnny Layton of Sedalia, Mo. in
memorable battle, while Hall suffered
his first defeat in four matches, so to
AZ, at the hands of the veteran Tiff
Denton of Kansas City.
Layton'S victory sent him into tie
for second place with Thurnblad with
record of four victories and one defeat,
while Hall dropped to fourth.
Match Well Contested.
The Layton Thurnblad match was
one of the most exciting in the tourna-
ment history. Layton opened up with
a run of eight and led by a COM
Portable margin of 20 to IA in the
twenty-second inning. Thurnblad then
staged a sensational comeback. Stop
ping Layton with a great safety game,
he kept clicking off points until he
gained the lead, 38 to 81, in the thirty
fourth inning.
BY a slender margin of point or
two, Thurnblad held his lead until
Layton tied it again at 49-all in the
forty-Seventh inning. Thurnblad,
nervous under the strain, had three
easy chances to score the winning point,
but missed. Layton missed his first two
opportunities, but connected with his
third in the fiftieth inning. Layton's
high run was eight, Thurnblads seven.
Denton'S victory his second in five
matches, was one of the big surprises
OF the tournament. Denton took the
lead after the sixteenth inning and held
it. although Hall came close. The
match ended in the f1fty-third inning
when Denton made a pretty cross
table shot
In a match for cellar honors, Hess
Jacobs of st. Louis defeated Charles
