TINE team of 1926 was the one Navy
team in its athletic history to be
- generally accorded the leading

The four young officers who will become
assistant coaches were among the out

Hamilton, also a crack basket ball
and base ball player, was the winner
of the Navy Athletic Association sword
as the leading athlete of his graduating
year. He stood out as player of great
knowledge of the game. He probably
will be the head backfleld coach.
Cross was a fine running guard.
HardWick was considered the best Navy

GENERAL USE SEEN
FOR LIVELY SPHERE
Cooperation Of Minors Will
Give Majors a Better
Line on Players.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

N IEW YORK, February -
M Equally important to the
l Y major leagues as the
adoption of standard
ball for their own competition, is
the prospect that most, if not all,
of the principal minor leagues
will use a similarly constructed
article for 1884.
The International League ball will
come from the same Philadelphia fac
tory that is now turning out the new
standard sphere for the majors. Ths
American Association and the Pacific
Coast League, the two other douole-A
circuits and chief sources OF major
league playing material, also are ex.
pected to fall into line.
There are some patented features OF
the ball standardized for the major
leagues, including a 'cushion-cork"
center but other manufacturers have
the specifications ana equipment re-
uuired to turn out a ball that will
behave similarly thus achieving the
object Of putting performances through:
out the ranks Of organized base bau
on an approximate party.
Big Help to Game.
"THE minor leagues, in cooperating
with the majors along this line,
can do a great deal for the ad-
vancement of base ball. said John A.
Heydler. president of the National
League today. Distorted averages and
performances, due to the previous rad
ical differences in the lvellness and
makeup of the ball used. will largely
be eliminated. A better estimate on
player values will be gained.
'Of course this does not mean all ths
play Will be standardized. Local con-
ditions, the size Of parks, distance OF
fences and caliber Of the players will
still be important factors in any league.
But We hope it will help eliminate the
chance of freakish performances over
a full season and produce better base
ball. from the standpoint of players
and spectators alike

Reds TO Retain Hafey.

UNTIL lately Chick Hafey, slugging
backbone of the Cincinnati Reds,
~ was much in demand. but the new
Redland control has now let it be
known they will not part with the
former batting champion.
The Reds some time ago turned down
a highly tempting offer from the Chicago
Cubs for Hafey's services. That was
before the Cubs finally swung the deal
for Klein. Subsequently Boston dickered
for Chick. who might have meant the
difference between pennant and fourth
place for the Braves last year, but Gin
cinnati's owners decided to keep their
big gun at home.
AS one observer puts it: without
Hafev in their present lineup, the Reds
might drop right out OF the Na.iorAA
League"

weight championship of the
world at Miami there will be memories
of more than a few Georgians who
found the top of the hill.
My friend Gus Castle tells me that
Bobby Walthour of Atlanta was the first
Southerner to win world champion
ship. Walthour cleaned up this coun-
try more than 25 years ago and then
mopped up Europe on the cycle track.
There is no individual world cham
pionship in base ball. but Ty Cobb made
one for himself from 1876 to 1920 when
he led his league in IL out of l3 years.
Cobb finished his career with the great
est collection of runs. base hits and
stolen bases ever made, and that should
be good for some form of crown, coro-
net or scepter.
Then there was a young fellow named
Bobby Jones who swept the world of
golf in 1880 with four major cham
pionships in a row. That's as close to
being a world champion as you can get
in golf.
Young Stribling reached the final
frame of heavyweight championship
when he met Max Schmeling. but that
was his closest bid for the big title
Georgia Tech turned in Rose Bowl
victory after an unbeaten season for
another claim.
What with Bobby Walthour Ty Cobb.
Bobby Jones, Nap Rucker. Alexa Stir
ling. Young Stribling. Tiger Flowers
and few more, the red clay hills OF
Georgia can offer Young Knight all the
inspiration a challenger needs.
Whether this will be enough to keep

another matter. The insiders around

RANCH" Babson decided, and drew
down from its case a map of the
county.
Mr.. Babson made most surprising
discovery. He had always assumed
that Rance Kershaw owned no land
east of the fence that divided the
Circle K from the Bar FL. To his
amaZement he had now discovered
that Lorry Kershaw was the owner OF
four thousand acres, more or less. In
that portion of Eden Valley which,
in the event of dam being built in
the gorge, must constitute all or the
greater portion of the area that must
be inundated. when the dam filed up!
And Babson had always thought Nate
Tichenor owned that landl
He could have cheered. No matter
what Nate Tichenor might do with his
dam-site now, he would have to con-
suit Lorry Kershaw before selling II
to power company, and Babson
thought he knew what the girls an
swer would be. A deadlock between
the two survivors of the feud!
Got to get that four thousand acres
more or less" Mr.. BabsOn exulted.
The girl will sell to me. You bet she
will. And then I'll do some trading
with Nate Tichenor."
Within the week he had arranged
his personal finances and purchased

to the local hotel upon the veranda

institution held on the Circle K ranch.
With the mortgage in his possession,
Babson dictated to Ranceford Ker-
shaw a letter as firm as granite and
as cold as a penguin's tail He in
formed Kershaw that unless the mort
gage was paid within five days suit
in foreclosure would be Instituted.
Then he dictated another letter. which
he signed as president of the Bank of
Valley Center, calling some thirty
thousand dollars Of Kershaw's notes.
He was striking at Rance Kershaw
over the shoulder of the latter's daugh-
ter, quite confident that she would pro-
that, in return for renewal of the
unsecured notes and mortgage. she
should sell him at a reasonable price
that four thousand acres with which
he planned to embarrass Nate Tiche-
mort
He realized he must keep such a
deal in allegiance until he could or
ganize the ForlOrn Valley Irrigation
district, for, with the district formed
before Nate Tichenor could complete
his deal with the power company, the
district could enter a condemnation
suit against Tichenor, and thus block
the aspirations of the power company.
He distrusted the local legal talent
in crisis loaded with potential legal
dynamite, so that night he went to
San Francisco to engage the services
of legal firm noted throughout the
state for its knowledge of water law.
Indeed, Babson was rather in hurry
to get out of town, for he considered
it good strategy to be absent when old
Rance Kershaw should come into the
bank to argue and plead. Leave a
frightened worried man alone for four
days and he's much easier to handle
on the fifth. So Babson departed, un-
conscious of the fact that his bluff,
complicated with the sudden return of
Nathan Tichenor to Eden Valley, was
to kill Rance Kershaw and turn the
current of the Kershaw hatred upon
Silas Babson and all his works and
pomps.
