Oech Of Gophers
Ruled Ineligible
Investigation Costs Big Ten
Champs Fifth Player.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-Vernon Oech,
Minnesota guard, has completed his
intercollegiate competition under
the recent affirmation of the Big
Tens transfer rule, the United Press
learned today.
Minnesota coaches we're under the
opinion that Oech played only one
year at Montana University before
coming to Minnesota, where his
father formerly played. Investiga-
ton of the records at Montana, how
ever, reveal that Oech played on
the freshman team there in 1881,
and the varsity in 1882, leaving him
only one year of competition at
Minnesota, which he used the past
season.
Oech joins Kosta, Svendsen, Bill
Bevan and ClarkSon as the fifth
player Minnesota loses by applica-
ton of the Big Ten rule, which states
that intercollegiate competition as a
freshman counts as year of compe-
titiOn.

BASEBALL players agree 1t is
ID much more difficult to solve
the delivery of a good curve ball
pitcher than a good fast-ball pitch
er. For instance, Al Simmons and
Lou Gehrig are the only other
American League hitters who are
distinguished as curve-ball hitters
Bing Miller was. another. And so
was Joe Harris. the shell-torn war
veteran who played first base for
Cleveland and Washington.
Cy Perkins recalled game in
1927 between the Athletics and the
Yankees. At that time Perkins and
Cochrane we're catching for Connie
Mack. In this particular game RUDE
Walberg was pitching, and Coch-
rane was catching. In the sixth or
seventh inning Ruth hit fast one
out of the park for home run.
A situation developed later in the
game which prompted Mack to send
Perkins in to bat for Cochraue. and
he hit one out of the park himself
to tie the score and send the game
into extra innings -.
I'm the twelfth inning Ruth
came up" recalls Mr.. Perkins. Il
still had vivid memories of what had
happened when Cochrane called for
that fast ball against him, so 1 was
very determined that I would not
be betrayed into the same error. 1

curve. And what happened? Ruth
slammed it over the fence for the
longest home run ever saw in my
life
IT was this kind of smuggling that
i caused Waite Hoyt to remark
that the Babes only weakness at
bat was a base on balls. Still it
was interesting to know that prac-
tically in self-defense he had be-

in baseball and that, according to
Cochrane's guess. fully 80 per cent
of his home runs had been made
of curves.

National Loop
Votes to Play
Night Baseball
Limited Number of Games
to Be Under Lights as
1885 Experiment.
BY LAYTON CARVER
limited Press STAFF Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. 13-National
and American League officials went
into joint session today under the
eye of Kenesaw Mountain Lands,
high commissioner, for the final
blowoff of the major league meet
ings.
The National League concluded
its separate sessions yesterday by
voting to permit a limited number
of night games, the first ever played
in the majors.
Powell Crosley Jr., whose Cincin-
natl Reds are appropriately named,
he observed, for the color in which
most of the clubs finances are writ
ten, led the fight for night games,
hopeful of boosting attendance.
Seven Night Games Is Limit
But it will be only an experiment
in 1885. The league limited each
club to seven home games at night,
permits the visiting club to refuse
to play at night and provides a pen
atty clause calling for 1000 fine
and confiscation of gate receipts for
each game over the limit of seven.
Pittsburgh, New York and Brook
Ign were definitely opposed to going
bush league. Philadelphia was luke
warm. st. Louis, Chicago, Boston
and Cincinnati thought it a good
idea.
Crosley said night games were an
absolute necessity at Cincinnati.
The tail-end club doesn't draw and
his plans of rebuilding already have
cost him S25O,O00 for new talent.
Attendance Hike Reported
Might games doubled attendance
many times over in some minor
leagues and it looks like a solution"
he said.
The National League also voted
to retain the jackrabbit ball through
1885, Notwithstanding some oppo-
sition; increased the player waiver
price from $4,000 to $4,000; de-
creased the waiver term within the
league from five to three days and
decided to give annual passes to all
retired players who have seen ten
years of major league service.
The American League concluded
its get-together with an announce
ment that paid attendance last year
topped 1888 by $4,000, and signed a
new 25-year agreement to continue
the circuit with the present eight
clubs.

Indiana Edges HamIine


BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Dec. 49,
Indiana broke 29-all tie in the
closing seconds to defeat Hamline
of st. Paul in a basketball game
here last night, 81 to 90.
The winning points came on a
long shot by Willard Kehrt, acting
captain for the Crimson.
Indiana held a 16-to-9 lead at
the half, but Wally Zimmerman,
200-pound forward, led Hamline in
a rally which enabled the visitors to
forge ahead for the first time at
20 to q.
Lester Stout, Winamac, tied the
score with an under the-basket shot
and Kehrt tossed his only goal of
the second period to give Indiana
victory. Summary:

half last night and trounced the
Tigers, 38 to Is, as Boilermaker

Purdue played with several re-

half. Hickman put the Tiger five

period and Coach Lambert of Pur-
due sent his combination of Cotton,
KesSler and Shaver into the tilt.

work behind the plate, still have per-
feet hands. Between them they
have caught about 5000 games and
yet neither has yet to suffer a single
broken finger. This is remarkable
considering the unpredictability OF
foul balls-to say nothing of such
freak deliveries as the splitter and
the knuckler.
The secret? There's no secret
about it," insists Mr.. Cochrane
Except in rare cases, a catcher
should never suffer finger injury
When he does get hurt he has
brought his bare hand over too
quickly. This Is common mistake
with some catchers. They do not
let the glove do enough work, and
it so happens that's what the glove
is for"
A LARGE percentage of finger
IA injuries among catchers grows
out of stops made to the right of
the plate where the position is I'M
natural and the bare hand instead
of the glove becomes the main tar
get Mr.. Cochrane, if you have
studied his technique, minimizeS
this danger by twisting his wrist
and catching the ball back handed.
True, a number of catcherS do the
same thing, but the Detroit man
ager does it better than any other
man in baSeball-which is another
reason why 1 think he can prol bly,
be styled the best backstop in the
game.
There has been talk that Mr..
Cochrane, who needs another out
fielder worse than Gertrude Stein
needs an interpreter, would add Al
simmons to his lineup =. I'D like
to, but there's no chance. The White
Sox are going to be sold at the end
of next season and in order to make
a profitable sale the club must be
built up. Simmons is the hub around
which the building will be done.
You can bet all the gloves in
Gloversville he won't be sold-to us
or anybody else"

tically the same lineups of last sea-
