VERY STRANGE, INDEED

There have to be some rules and regulations, of course, for the Sul- livan Award or any other contest of this kind but it does not seem that a subsequent change in vo- cation or avocation can alter the performances which originally qualify a candidate.
 The case would be different, oi course, if Tolan or Didrickson, ol even Vines had been demonStrat- ed to have violated amateur rules BEFORE they turned in theeir achievements that put them in the spotlight. That was what cost Jim Thorpe his 1912 Olympic med als. But no such accusations con- cern the athletes considered here nor is there any suggestion that the medals or trophies won by Didrickson, Tolan or Vines be re- turned.

WOOD? METCALFE?

At least two other sources of eyebrow-lifting in this proceeding are the inclusion of William Barry Wood, Harvard's former all-around athlete and Ralph Metcalfe, Mar quette negro sprinter, in the fa- vored list.
 Woods literary efforts for 1882 hardly would qualify him for dis tinctive as an outstanding athlete. True, he did not finish his college career until last June, but his ma- jor athletic exploits for Harvard reached their peak in 1881, when he was selected All-America quar- terback and subsequently, nominat- ed for the Sullivan Award. Barry Wood, in short, will not be re- called as a conspicuous figure in the 1892 picture of sporting &C., tivity.
 Metcalfe, of course, has better claim to distinction. Up to and including the final Olympic try outs and national championship!

DIVIDES UP
 ON SCORING

SEATTLE, Dec. 30. = It was something of an Alfonso and Gas ton" act when University of Wash ington football players gathered around for touchdown play this season.
 In the first sox of their seven conference games Washington grid ders chalked up nine touchdowns and all were made by different men.
 It was a brotherly affair until the final contest when Quarterback Johnny Cherberg apparently ran out of touchdown n-makers and had to start from the beginning of the list again, and Paul Slkosky, full back, tailed two more and Art Ahonen, halfback, his second ot the year.

By one means or another, the Amateur Athletic Unions attempt to select the years outstanding amateur performance has been complicated.
 The list of ten "finalists" in the contest, which carries the Sulli- van Memorial Award with it, fail ed in the first place to include H. Ellsworth Vines, Jr., the world tennis champion for 1892 and by all odds one of the two or three outstanding American amateurs.
 The only clue I have to this strange proceeding is that the A. A. U. itself regarded somewhat suspiciously the fact that Vines left other pursuits for a tennis campaign carrying him halfway around the world, from early spring to winter. Apparently it was felt this subjected the Californian's amateur standing to some question, yet it seems hardly possible this gratuitous attitude could have been sufficiently widespread to keep Vines out of a list of ten leading amateur performers in any open balloting. It is a dangerous pre- cedent.
 Babe Didrickson was, of course, among the ten finalists announced by the A. A. U. but it now seems the Texan wonder girl has auto maticelly been eliminated from the decisive ballot by reason of her suspension, for the time being, on evidence arising from the publi- cation of an automobile advertise ment carrying her picture and en- dorsement.

PAR FIVE HOLE
 CALLED HARDEST

MIAMI, Fla, Dec, 30-At least TT of the 121 golf professionals who entered the Miami -Biltmore open tournament here this year, can offer their testimony about the 550-yard 18th hole being a jonah.
 For just that many had scores of seven or more on their cards for the hole during the tourna- ment, and some of the cards were as high as 12 strokes.
 Local golfers are of the opinion this hole must be just about the worlds hardest, for Gene Sarazen, winner of the open last year, and Denny Shute, his successor, both had sevens on the 18th. Others taking sevents included Walter Hagen, Johnny Farrell, Tommy Ar mour and Paul Runyan

 He has been drilling the island "collegians" for about two weeks.
 Captain Pitts is out for the squad again.. with "Whitey" Stokes, speedy negro halfback. Several members of the freshman class look like corners.
 Law is teaching the squad the Rockpe system of football, and he said last night they were un- usually adept to fearing trick plays. The backfield material averages 160 pounds and is fast.
 The 1892 team will feel the loss of John Martone, gunman and ban dit, who played center. He re- gently lost three fingers of his right hand in the prison tin shop.

ABDOMINAL PAINS MAY KEEP RUTH
 OUT OF SERIES

Detroit, Sept 8.--UP)-Babe Ruth, basebalrs heroic slugger, returned to New York to-day for examination and treatment of ab- dominal pains which he feared might result in appendicitis.
 The New York Yankees famous home run hitter was seized with the ailment yesterday afternoon. When the pains grew worse, he telephoned to Manager Joe Me- Carthy at Buffalo, N. r., for per- mission to g ohome.
 Ruth and his wife left Detroit aboard a Michigan Central train at 8:3O D. m.. the seriousness of his ailment will not be known until he is examined by his personal physi- clan in New York. He declined an examination in Detroit.
 In view of the approaching world series, in which the Yankees are al- most certain to participate. many of Babes teammates viewed his illness with alarm. They recalled his collapse at Asheville, N. C., in 1925 after a somewhat similar at tack. He was in the hospital for more than a month then.
 Ruins absence from the world series would be a-severe blow to the Tanks because he is their lead- ing hitter. He averaged .348 this season despite his 3S years. He ranks 9th among the major leagues leading hitters. He Is second in home run honors, with 40, while Jimmy Foxx of the Philadelphia Athletics banged out 51.
 Because of his careful diet and systematic exercising. the Babe has managed to slug away in recent years despite several injuries and illnesses.
 Babes most recent injury was on July IS when he pulled Char ley horse" in ihs right leg at the Yankee stadium while sprinting after a fly to short right field. This kept him out of the game more than a week.
 The Yankees arrived here yes terday to open a five-game series to-day with Detroit's Tigers. Man. ager Mccarthy is expected to-day.
