New Ball Revives Heinie Webb
Typo Pitcher Thinks He Can Still Be Winner After
Twenty-one Years on Mound.

The Union Printer star greatly
reminds one Of Sam Jones OF the
Nationals. His ability to cut the
corners and cross up batSnen makes
up for what speed and stamina years
have taken away.
The raised stitches on the new
base balls may or may not hinder
batters no little. 1t wiz be deter
mined in a few weeks. But should
1t live up to expectations and aid
the pitchers, Heinie Webb can be
counted on for his share OF victories
this Spring and Summer. Should
it not, Webb still can take o turn
on the mound and make trouble.
Heinie's not the only "old boy" on
the local sandlots who is anxiously
looking forward to trying out the
new pellet. Lefty Kuhnert, who
ranks second only to Webb in point
of years, still has an abundance Of
zip in his left wing, but his Navy
Yard teammates, like the Typos,
think the new ball win enhance his
effectiveness.
wesley (still the great) Mcdonald
is another veteran finger who would
relish a little more resistance on
his ball against the wind to increase
his curves. Yves, Interstate manager,
pitcher and coach, has been keep
ing fit by bowling this Winter. Reese
Hair, McDonald's teammate, is an
other.
But new ball or not, the Govern,
ment Leaguers already are feeling
the urge to take to the diamond.

Virginia Fe Visit for THO Contests Big Ten Explosion Rdiculed
On the Sidelines
With the Sports Editor
BY Denman Thompson

r VOW much difference the
~ new base ball will make
in the quality of play re-
mains to be seen, but it
would seem that to whatever extent
it affects the game the Nationals
will benefit.
It generally is agreed that the
change, particularly so far as the
American League is concerned, is
not drastic enough for any radical
decrease in hitting. However, if it
does result in greater pitching eff
cheney it should prove helpful to a
team Ike Washington, whose chief
defensive strength is in the high
caliber of its slabbing.
And, If it serves to decrease the
number of home runs, whether of
the trick" or legitimate variety, it
likewise should impose a minimum
of handicap on an outfit such as
that representing the Capital. which
last season with a total of 81 circuit
clouts got fewer than any rival in
the loop with the exception of one
the lowly Boston Red Sox.
Since Leon Allen Goslin was
shifted to the Browns last June the
brigade bossed by Walter johnson
has boosted nary an athlete capable
of humping the horsehide over the
barrier with any degree Of con-
sistency. Heinie Manush. obtained
along with Gen Alvin Crowder in
exchange for the Goose, who found
that short right-fleld fence at
Sportsman's Park so much to his
liking that he wound up the 1880
campaign with a total Of 81 round
tripperS, was able to evolve only 9
all season long and this mark was
bettered by only two of his team
mates, Joe Cronin collecting II and
Joe Judge 10.
On the other hand, the use by the
American League of a sphere sewn
with coarser thread and having the
stitching raised instead Of sunk, as
formerly, is calculated to enable sew
eral members of the local curving
corps to do more with it than they
have in the past.
Such veterans as Sam Jones, Fred
Marberry and Al Crowder, for in
requiring expert manipulation of the
pellet, rather than employing sheer
stuff" may be expected to utilize
the better grip obtainable TO great
advantage and it also should result
in improving the control of the
younger fingers who lack their de-
gree of stead ness.
The major circuits ran true to
form in not taking identical action
regarding the steps to derabbitize
the ball, but in the light of the
home-run crop harvested in each
the National League, in adopting a
heavier cover for the additional
deadening effect that it is expected
to produce, theoretically went just
about as much farther as is calcu-
lated to equalize matters in this re-
gard. This, at least, seems logical
conclusion In view of the fact that
the parent circuit last season evolved
an aggregate of 1872 home runs. an
average of nearly IS more per club
than the junior loop.

FILLING BIG SHOES
BY the Associated Press


~ HIO STATE dominates JACK
Keller, a sophomore hurd-
Ter, to fill the flashing,
point scoring shoes OF
George Simpson, the sprinter, who
ended his college career last Sum-
mer.
Keller's high school career was.
even more promising than that OF
Simpson.
Kell6r, a slender, blond, handsome
youth, standing six feet three inches
tall, is a Columbus boy, as was
Simpson. Ohio's track team will
be built around him, as it was
around Simpson.
Not only is Keller expected to at
tack records In the high and low
hurdles, but Coach Frank Castleman
hopes to use him in the dashes OF
indoor meets.
When Simpson was graduated he
held two national intercollegiate
championships at 220 yards and one
at 100 yards. He set the N. G. A. A.
century record of "a seconds, OF
which Frank Wykoff Of Southern
California is a co-holder. Simpson
was not defeated on his home track
in the three years Of his college
racing.
Keller broke all State high school
hurdle records: won both high and
low hurdles at the national inter-
scholastic meet In Chicago in June,
1929. :.

NJ HE1NIE WEBB, with 81

~ l. HEINIE WEBB, with Al
sandlot base ball cam
y y paigns behind him, thinks
he can be a big help to
the Union Printers this coming sea-
son when the Government Leaguers
begin their annual quest Of the
pennant.
That is, If reports on these newly
adopted American and National
League base balls are what they're
cracked up to be.
Last year, for the first time since
he began pitching, Heinie did not
take active base ball seriously-unti1
: the rest Of the Union Printer pitch
erS fell down.
Webb, who managed the Typos
for nine years, was on the side lines
at every game last year, serving as
a coach. He found much of the old
time zip gone from his soup bone.
At that, when the race In the Gov
eminent loop waxed hot near the
end, he stepped in and twice beat
Naval Hospital, the team that won
the championship, and once beat
Navy Yard, winner Of the first half
title and runner-up.
And he beat Detroit in the Typos
national championship.
Heinie Is not alone in his convic@
ton that he'll win games for the
Printers this season. His team
mates share the vets enthuHiAsm.

Boston u. Reaches
Foot Ball Crisis

BOSTON, February 12.-Lack Of

may result In the dropping of foot
bali at Boston University in 1882.
This was the announcement made
by Dean Alexander Begg, head OF
the athletic council, and George v.
Brown, director of athletics.
Just what will be done Is as yet
undetermined, but the schedule for
next Fall will be carried out and
plans will be made for 1882. De-
cision probably will be made at the
conclusion of the 1881 schedule,
which virtually will amount to a
final test for the sport.
