Under Present Rule.

)H1CAGO, Dec. 14-Legislation
Is needed to stop the "mer-
CHESS, reckless punishment"
of forward pasSerS in college
football games, Clark Shaughnessy,
head coach at the University of Chi
cago, declared today.
ShaughneSsy will advocate changes
in the rules at the meeting of Amer
ica's gridiron coaches at New Orleans
December % to bring about action to
protect the passers. He will propose
that passes be permitted from any
point behind the line of Scrimmage
as allowed in professional football, in
stead of compelling the college player
to toss his shots from at least five
yards back of the scrimmage line.
If passer is trapped, he may be
forced to run 10 to Is yards back,
subjecting him to even more dangerous
punishment, before throwing
Emphasize Rushing Passer.
THERE has been an over-emphasis
of rushing the passer,' yet
nothing has been done to protect
them" he said. He, after all, is a
potential tackler because if his pass is
intercepted he is in position to tackle
the intercepted"
Drawing diagrams. Shaughnessy
showed that If passer in a collegiate
game were allowed to fire his shots
anywhere behind the line of scrim-
mage he would be In less danger of
injury.
Shaughnessy pointed out that if a
passer could throw two or three yards
back Of the line, the ends and other
chargers, circling to reach him, could
no more than push him down rather
than charge him violently.

Yves Is Conspicuous, Anyway.


THE leagues busiest pitcher was the
one Washington eventually OBJ
tanned in trade for Newsom. He was
Wesley Cheek Terrell, the handsome,
temperamental Highlander who came
to the Senators in June.
Yves has the dubious distinction Of
leading the league in most hits made
of his delivery, 1926; in most runs
scored off him, 1T, and in most runs
earned of his pitching, 1873. Not so
dubious were his other high lights.
Yves led the league in most innings
pitched, 28l, and in most batters faced,
LIPS.
Newsom was not without something
to bring him to the FORE Loquacious
Louie from Huntsville, S. c., dividing
his time between Washington and
Boston, took the lead in most bases on
balls, with 1877.
In keeping with his other high. total
records, Ferrell again led the league
in starting and finishing games. In
1887 he started IS games and pitched
as complete contests. In 1885 he
started 80 times and had % full
games.
Gomez was second high man in
1897 with - starts and rs completed

PROMOTERS SEEK
GOLF KINGS DUEL
See Sure-Fire Hit in Tilt
Between Cooper, Cotton in
U. S. Next Year.
BY w. r. McCALLuM.

ny W. N. VuCSALLUM.
TINE golf promoters are trying to
revive a sure-hit of the BOOM
ing COS in the form of an
unofficial world championship
professional match, slated to be PLAYED
some time during the spring of 1898
between Harry Cooper of the United
States and Henry Cotton, the high
hating British open king Cooper
never has won the American open
title, but his brother pros rate him
on top of all American professionals
by his consistency in major tourna-
ments.
OF COURSE, there1l be no dice if
~ they can't get Cotton to come to
America, for Henry. who nouts British
professional tradition by appearing at
the first tee in swanky motor and
by attending first nights at the opera
clad in evening attire, is Britain's
No. l man in pro golf.
In case you don't know, in Britain
the pro is classed as a servant of the
club, and Henry's antics In the high
hat sector have stirred up no end of
comment.
In America, where pro golfers long
have gotten over the idea that they
are social interiors, it causes no dis
cussion when Walter Hagen or Tommy
Armour don swallow-taiis for an eve
ning's diversion, but in Britain it's
hardly cricket However, Henry goes
his way, playing the social game to
the hilt and getting away with it.
|CoTToN generally is rated the top
pro among the golfers of Europe.
He has twice won the British open
title with fine scores, has won every
thing else, and gets high prices for
lessons and always is booked far
! ahead.
He has flair for showmanship
| now which he didn't show five years
back when he came to America to
play the pro tournament circuit and
finished behind a lot of our better
pros. But he has improved tire
mendously since then.

COMEz, pacing the Yankees to the
pennant and world championship
with 81 victories as against IL de-
feats, was the only American League
pitcher to win more than 30 games
Ruf1ng, his teammate and a holdout
until well after the season was started
was second with a record of 20
triumphs and defeats.
Second to Gomez in the earned-run
column was Chicago's Monty Stratton,
the long, lean boy who throws over
hand, sidearm and even underhand
Despite a lame arm through the late
part of the race, Stratton finished with
a mark Of 2.40. Allen, with ass, was
third.
The greatest single games contrib
uted during the season were by Bill

TINE Washington Senators almost
got Pitcher Lefty Gomez for
Pitcher Buck Newsom last
March and therein lies a sad,
sad story.
Newsom, as determined holdout at
the time as was Gomez Of the Yankees,
wound up the 1887 season in thirty
sixth place among the earned-run
average pitchers.
Blushing Buck, later to be sent to
Boston. won IA games and lost 10.
Gomez sulked in Bermuda, came
North to see Col. Jacob Rupert on
the salary question, signed after taking
= cut, went to Spring training {.
and finished as the only American
League pitcher to win more than 20
games and the No. l pitcher in the
earned-run average list!
The figures, not the backgrounds
are furnished today by the American
League Service Bureau, releasing the
oficial pitching records for 1887.
Lefty Also Strike-out King.
7 asst season was the year for Gomez,
Terminate Red Ruffing and For
mer Terminate Johnny Allen, now
with the Cleveland Indians.
Allen compiled the highest Won
and-lost percentage in the history OF
the American League when he won
IS victories before losing the final game
Of the season.
Gomez, making a comeback after a
mediocre campaign in 1886, showed
the lowest earned-run record in the
circuit with mari. of 233, which was
the lowest in the league since 1894,
when Lefty again led the league with
exactly the same figure.
GomEs' fast ball also was responsible
for the most strike-outs in 1887, with
1874, but this mark is far below the
record of 343 made by Rube Waddell
Of the Athletics in 1904.
Allen, who had won his last two
games in 1886, ran his consecutive
game streak to II before Rookie Jake
Wade Of Detroit beat him, to O,
with a two-hit performance in the
final tilt of the 1887 season.
Aliens new record of ISL supplants
that Of Lefty Grove, who won 81 and
lost for Philadelphia in 1880 for
. 1886 percentage. .
As rookie pitcher in the league
with New York in 1882, Allen led the
circuit with percentage of 80
His ISL record for 1887 gave him a
1898 percentage.

All Of the witnesses except Secre-
tary Ickes were asked by Representa-
tive Grove Of Indiana whether they
thought the proposed Thomas Jeffer-
son Memorial and the proposed audi
torium should be united into one
structure.
All replied emphatically that they
believed Jefferson rates q distinct
memorial, which should be eminently
dignified and artistic, and that the
contemplated auditorium would not
be typical of the third President
Secretary Ickes expressed the same
opinion In q less pronounced way
way when he said that the two studies
for an auditorium and for q Jefferson
Memorial might be pursued concur
rently.
Secretary Ickes advocated erection
Of an auditorium ito accommodate
as many as you can get in consistent
with their ability to see and hear"
He mentioned particularly the audi
torium in Kansas City. P. W. A.
project. He estimated that 10000
persons might be accommodated IN
the proposed auditorium here.
In this he differed from Moore,
Bloom and Heaton, all Of whom esti-
mated that . capacity OF $4,000 would
be sufhcient. Bloom explained that
If there was a much larger auditorium
it would be about only half filled 80
per cent of the time.
While Secretary Ickes considered
cost Of approximately $4,000, 900,
Bloom said an entirely adequate audi
torium could be built for $4,000, 900,
outside Of the cost Of land, with $4,000
seats in the auditorium. He said the
outside measurement should not ex-
ceed $50 by 400 feet.
