n r EW YORK, January 2l.-The
IN art of base stealing should gain
some adherents during the 1881
4 season, in the opinion of base
ball men who have been study
ing closely the revision Of the rules that
was made following the December
meeting of the major leagues.
If ne keeps a sharp eye on the pitcher,
the alert player should be able to i'm
prove his record for pilfering bases, as a
resulbzof the rewriting Of the rule which
defines the position or the pitcher when
he delivers the ball.
During the rules committees ses-
sion there was some reference TO the
lack of base running now as compared
with former days Clark Griffith, the
washington club owner. VINO was once a
pitcher Of note and has the prejudices
Of the pitcher thought the runners were
able to take care Of themselves and be-
lieved that less base stealing. or at
tempted stealing, takes place these days
because the style Of play calls for less
sscrihcing. When the sacrifice pre-
rallied the runners were more alert TO
steal because every base gained was
an added assistance to a run.
When the old rule defining the pitch
er's position was reached, President E.
S. Barnard of the American League had
q new one to take its place. 1t did not
give the pitchers more leeWay than
they now have. 1t does define the pitch
erS position better than it was en-
phasized under the old rule and because
of the directness of its terms 1t may
help base running little.
The new rule permits the pitcher to
throw the ball as he always has thrown
1t, with no relaxation of the rules
against the mutilated ball. There had
been an occasional suggestion from
some sources that the pitcher should
able practice of expectorating on the
ever be permitted again.
The new Barnard rule establishes SO
much better regulations for the place
ment of the feet of the pitcher that
the base runner, If he is clever and
smart, can make a better study Of the
possible intent of the pitcher.
The famous base runners of old were
adept in studying the pitcher. They
were clever in taking start at the
exact moment when the pitcher was
about to deliver the ball. and he had
to 60 through with 1t or make a balk.
In the old rule the wording was so
loose that pitcher could have stepped
with both feet in front of the rubber
and might have been strictly within
the rule He could face the batter
with both feet squarely on the ground
and in front of the pitchers plate, "
which literally meant that he might
have both feet in front of the plate,
and then would have 10 take a hitch
back in order to have one foot in con-
tact with the plate when he delivered
the ball.

stretch and in winning the world series
from the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Sewell was on his way to a major
league record for durability when his
continuous string of games was broken
at 1902 by an attack of influenza last
Spring. He was ambitious to beat Ever
EFT SCOTS string of 1907 straight
games.
Joe, whose brother Luke has been
catching for the Indians for nearly as
many seasons, never got going after
that illness. His speed Of foot and
keennesS of eye, which had made him
sure .300-plus hitter and top-notch
inf1elder, were deserving him. This was
the reason given by the club for making
him free agent.
Sewell was notified by letter to his
home in Tuscaloosa, Ala, of the clubs
action. It was not known whether he
would seek berth with q minor league
club or retire.

Pointers on Golf
BY SOL METZGER.

est golfer, winner of both national
titles IN 1915, brings out another in
teresting point about the position of
the ball In iron play that every player
should know. We have already seen
that the shorter the shot to the
green the farther forward we must
stand in addressing the ball.
The principle of play that Evans
brings out is that we should also
be closer to the ball as the distance
lessons. In other words, Evans knows,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-01-21

as do all sound golfers, that. the
swing must be compact. In short,
do not reach for the bail.
AS our clubs descend IN length
from driver to mashie -ninlick, we
either must move closer to the ball
TO play the gradually shortened
distances to be gained or We must
reach farther out with our arms to
strike 1t. Stand closer as the scale
descends in order to play. your
shots compactly Is the point Of
Chicks arguments.
Bobby Jones is a consistent win
mel because he Is a consistent puCter.

CAMERON DISCUSSES COUNTY
CHARTER AT KIWANIS CLUB

Analysis of a charter form of
government, the need for it and
how it would function in Imperial
county provided the subject of an
address given by j. S. Cameron at
Kiwanis club luncheon at the Bar
bara Worth hotel at noon yester-
day. Members of the board of ed
ucation and a committee from the
county grand jury joined Kiwani-
ans TO hear the discussion of this
important matter.
A study of the human mind in its
relation to government, said the
speaker. is necessary in order to
understand economic trends and in
order to seek remedy for existing
conditions.
THE American people are prim-
tive in their attitude toward gov
ernment. The government recog-
nizes the old king idea" which
still persists in spite of the devel-
opment of the last 100 years. The
form of government outlined by
the founders of the nation failed.
The fathers of the country worked
on the theory that the mass of the
people were not capable of govern
ing, not even of electing presi-
dent. That is the reason for the
electoral college which does not
function and never has functioned,"
Cameron explained.

pended abou. 1860 feet above

rosy future in aviation 1 might

an even keel. L thought sure

After dangling for an hour,
Osborne was saved from almost
certain death by veteran pilots
and an army regulation requir-
ing students to wear two para
chutes on their first attempts.
BY skillful maneuvering,
Lieut.. A. A. Stiaubel, in a sec
ond plane, lowered a knife to
Osborne, who cut himself from
his first parachute and floated
safely to earth with the emerg-
ency one.
He landed in a cornfield and
was caressing the earth when
instructors ran up TO tell him he
failed In his examination and
must take 1t over.

ANOTHER JURY
'SC0RCHED' BY
JUDGE FINNEY

For the second time in three days,
Judge A. C. Finney today "bawled
cut" II Jurors, individually and col
lectively, for letting their sympathy
override their judgment in consid-
ering the guilC or innocence of a
youth on trial for driving an auto
mobile without the owners consent.
Occasion for the courts remarks
was given when Frank Dudley. l8,
pleaded guilty to the charge against
him after his trial was already fin
ished and the case in the hands OF
the jury, which deliberated from 3
O'Clock yesterday afternoon until
10:45 this morning without reaching
a verdict.
Surprise was the predominant
feeling shown on the faces of the
Jurors when they we're called in this
morning to. be informed that Dud-
ley had pleaded guilty, and their
services were no longer necessary.
Judge Finney scored the jurors for
weighing the penalty instead of the
facts of the case, and informed
them that any decision as to the
penalty to be imposed rested with
the court after the verdict had been
returned He had previously in
formed the jury it was not to con-
slider the penalty in reaching a
verdict.
Elmer w. Heald, district attorney,
listened to Judge Finney's remarks
with a bread grin. He had des-
paired of gaining a conviction, al
though evidence presented to the
Jury conclusively proved Dudley's
guilt.
After dismissing the jury, Judge
Finney called the youth to the
stand, warned him that another
conviction will probably result in
life sentence to prison under the
habitual criminal act, since Dudley
has already twice been convicted of
felonies, and granted him probation
until he is 81 years old. The slight
est infraction of probation rules will
result in a sentence to San Quentin,
Judge Finney told Dudley.
Dudley was given into custody Of
an uncle. and directed to report to
the probation officer at stated in
terYals.
