Support Team,
Griff Tells
Pupils

Some of the responsibility for
retaining the popularity of base
ball within high, schools Of the
country was handed to the non
playing students by President
Clark Griffith at Eastern High
School this morning when the
student body assembled to hear
him introduce George Moriarty
ambassador Of good will from
the headquarters of the Ameri,
can League.
"The nonplaying students,
both boys and girls, can do
much to revive scholastic in
terest in Americas pastime by
lending their team more school
spirit, more adulatiOn, and by
organizing rallies in behalf of
the baseball efforts" declared
the Washington club spirit.
DON'T LIKE EMPTY SEATS
LADS of the high school
baseball age do not like to
either practice or play their
games before empty seats and
I am sure much Of the Oldtime
enthusiasm for baseball can be
revived by better organized
support for the the teams
within the school.
"ThiS is a herO-wOrShiping
age" declared Mr.. Griffith,
"and our young men playing
baseball are no different then
the other athletes who like
their place in the sun. Football
in schools and colleges has
grown to be a tremendous
movement because support for
the football teams is diligently
worked out through rallies and
pep meetings and the forming
of cheering sections.
'The same psychology, when
placed behind baseball, will
produce a like effect that it
does on football and it is with
in the power of the nOnplaying
boys and girls to restore base
ball in institutions of learning
to its proper place as Americas
greatest recreatiOnal sport.
CHALLENGE TO GRIFFITH
Baseball has always stood
at the top of the list Of games
in which American youths par
ticipate, and when word came
through the papers that there
was some doubt whether Wash
ingtOn schools would have base
ball this spring, it came as a
personal challenge to me be-
cause 1 have spent all of my
life in the game and love it
better than any other.
81 have spent much of my
life furthering the interest of
baseball, other than the pro-
feSsional type. In the schools
and on the SandlOtS I always
have and always will encourage
baseball and to help perpetuate
the great National paStime the
American League is sending our
principle speaker today, George
MOriarty, former player and
manager and present umpire to
Washington, and many other
sections, to do whatever mis-
SiOnary work possible to keep
baseball high in the esteem Of
the youths of our land"

QUITS
TENNIS AGAIN

PARIS, Feb. IA m eric as
chances of regaining the Davis
Cup were frightened today by
announcement of Jean Borotra,
Grand Old Man" of French ten
mis-, that he would not compete
again in the Davis Cup singles.
It was the Bounding Basque
who saved the cup for France
last year by defeating Ellsworth
Vines, American champion, and
Wilmer Allison after Henri
Cochet had been beaten.
Although Borotra said he prob
ably would play in the Davis
Cup doubles, he insisted his de-
cision to get away from the
strain of singles matches was
absolutely irrevocable." He an
nounced he would not play at
Wimbledon nor in the United
States indoor championships.

BIC CUP
HELPFUL To
BUFFERS
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

Baked by the snow, Tony
Sylvester, Bannockburn Club pro,
chartered about the 8-inch golf
cup while awaiting more favor
able conditions to place the big
putting bowls to an actual test
here.
Tony had intended to give the
BIG cups a test this past week
end at Bannockburn. when traf-
fic is generally heavy at this
Semi-public course. but the
weather man poked his nose into
the plans and laid a white
blanket over the course.
This didn't disturb Tony be-
cause the snow serves a helpful
purpose in conditioning the
course for the regular play this,
season.
Appealing to Duffer
Pulling his chair up to the
warm fire in his golf shop, Tony
d.Scoursed at length where the
duffer will benefit from the huge
cup, at the same time denying it
was useful to the skillful golfer.
Tony declares:
"This eightinch cup will prove
appealing to the player who
scores over 100. Let's take the
player who hooks and slices all
over the course.
"HiS tee shot finds him in the
rough. He next takes a spoon,
slugs away which finds him sliI-
ing to the rough on the other
side of the fairway. Maybe. in
trying to get clear of the rough,
he swings too hard, looking up z
at the same time, and the result
is topped shot, the ball going
but few yards.
FIVE SHOTS TO GREEN
"He has used up three strokes
and is still many yards from
the green. Say his maShie nib
lick is short of the green but
gets on with his next. That
makes five shots and he ~
pretty well sick of his bad pla1
ing.
There's an eight-inch cup on
the green and he luckily sinks
a 2O-fOOt putt. The thrill and
satisfaction of that feat removes
the i'll taste of those terrible
strokes up to the green. That's
how this eight-inch cup Sugges-
ton will prove of value to the
duffer.
"Of course, the good player
will turn it down because IL
makes the game too easy for
him. It's taken for granted that
a fairly decent putter can
hardly miss an 8 or 1O-foOter
with an eight-inch cup staring
him in the face"

This athletic scholarship"
regulation had been hailed as
the broom which would sweep
out of intercollegiate athletics
in the area mentioned every one
of the evils which have marked
college sport. The regulation,
according to educators, may"
make ineligible for inclusion in
the approved list Of the Middle
States Association any member
institution which permits recruit
ing or subsidizing Of athletes
BrOadsides Begin
Now, however, the complexion
of the situation has changed
materially, what with the Halls
of Congress ringing to the tune
of "seditious movements" and
"a smoke screen behind which
diSloyal activities are hidden" "
and various university and col
lege professors banding together
to fight against "un-American
and autocratic interpretations"
of the commission which has
judicial authority in the matter
of the regulation.
It is claimed by those opposing
the regulation that it does not
achieve purity, in that certain
colleges and universities may get
around it's prohibitive terms, while
certain others cannot. Substitute
regulations which, it is contended,
actually will achieve positive pur-
ity in the field of intercollegiate
athletics, in the territory indi-
Gated, have been turned down by
the commission. This action of
the commission has developed a
suspicion that the commission is
not exactly displaying the desir-
able ethical characteristics of true
American practice and true Amer
lean craftsmanship.
Similar Attitude
A situation quite similar to the
present one in this area developed
comparatively recently in the
North Central States Association.
A similar "athletic scholarship"
regulation was promulgated, but,
it is understood, members of the
Big Ten took much the same at
titude toward the North Central
regulation as the present opposi-
ton to the Middle States COM
MISSIONS regulation has taken.
All in all, developments in both
academic groups mentioned indi-
cate rather clearly that all the
distrust and lack of confidence
in college are not exclusively the
fault of intercollegiate athletics.
Bulletin Started
Rightfully or wrongfully, the
battle seems to be on, with the
Carnegie Foundation for the Ad-
vancement of Teaching rather
sandwiched in middle at the
moment. Incidentally, it was
the foundations Bulletin %
which formed the basis for two
athletic scholarship" regulations,
which now appears as a cauSus
belli among educators with inter
collegiate athletics officials for
once relegated to a position OF
only minor Importance.
One is rather impressed by the
notion that the athletic schol-
arship" squabble is right now
anything but an intercollegiate
athletic affair, and is the piece
de resistance for college presi-
dents, faculties and academic
authorities at their idealS-smash-
ing festival of fight.

REPEAL WOULD
BOOST crime

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Repeal
of the 18th Amendment and the
federal prohibition law will result
in increased rather than reduced
crime, asserted Judge johnson j.
Hayes of North Carolina to the
press here yesterday.
Citing the success of the led
eral government in prosecuting
the Urschel kidnapping, and point
ing out that liquor undoubtedly
plays a part in the vast majority
of crimes committed" Judge
HAYES predicted. "The withdraw
al of the federal government from
its fight against the manufacture
and sale of lijuor will surely re-
suit in increased production. sale,
and consumption of it, and the
more that is consumed, the great
err will be the tendency to increase
the crimes attributable to the IN
fuence of liquor.
81 have no faith in the ability
of city or state governments 20
cope adequately with the liquor
problem. The facilities available
to those who want to go from one
city or state to another and the
enormous difficulties of detection
by local officers create insuE,,
mountable obstacles for the local
Governments which may be dis
nosad IN wage warfare against
the threat.
eff the majority want to be
wet. we must let them be wet, but
after repeal is all done there will
be many disappointment. 1t will
not stop crime and will not solve
our revenue problems"
Judge Hayes pointed out that
the dealer in legally taxed liquor
will be forced to charge more for
his product than the bootlegger,
and remarked: "The class that
keeps courts busy in North Caro-
lima, as a rule, is the class which
possesses far below the average in
| intelligence, responsibility, self re-
spect, and respect for others. This
element will not buy expensive
liquor. 1t will continue to consume
bootlegged products because they
will be cheaper and perhaps more
readily available.
"The ultimate effect of federal
prohibition repeal will be to give
US in some states liquor that Is
legally manufactured and sold IN
addition to the present boot
legged supply"

oIucK KILLING IN BATTLE

The Importance of the first Battle of the Marine,
the 10Th anniversary of which was observed last
week. has had a tendency to create in the public
mind the idea that that titanic struggle was de-
struetive of human life far beyond anything IN re-
cent history So far as the American forces later
engaged in the World war are concerned, the rate
of destruction in battle never approached that o.
number of the battles of our Civil war.
Take the Battle of Antietam, for instance; one
of the blooder battles of that war. 1t was all over
in less than a single day. but the number of sol
diers killed on the field there 2,100. The de-
struction of human life there per minute was noS
reached even at Gettysburg, or Mission Ridge, or
Shiloh, or Chickamauga, or any other battle of the
war.
These Civil war battles, measured by the ncm-
Der of men involved far exceeded in battle losses
those suffered by American forces in any World
war battle. Two facts stand out here First that
the Importance of a battle may be out of proper
ton to the destruction of life involved, and sec
ond that the invention of new implements of war
does not necessarily make wars more destructive
Means of defense keep closely up with means OF
offense-The Columbus Dispatch.

THE VICIOUS CRIMINAL

The innate vciousness of the man who arms
himself with a gun and sets out to rob commit
some other crime is we'll illustrated by the brutal
and entirely unnecessary shooting of an aged wo-
man in New Jersey.
The thug bandits went to the woman's home in
a rural township and demanded her money, threat
enng to kill her if she did not tell them where it
was hidden.
She ran screaming to the front porch of the
house and there was brutally shot in the back al
though the thugs made good their escape by an
other way.
The vciousness of such an unnecessary killing
unnecessary even from the robbers point of view
shows up the whole malignant fraternity OF
criminals as nothing less than public enemies who
should be ruthessly destroyed.-Rock HILL S. c.,
