BY FRANCIS E. STAN.
r GLIDING a three-game win
ming streak today, the Mats
went back to finish their
L L warfare with the Athletics,
while wondering how well they can
do for the next few days with Cecil
Travis sitting on the bench. Looking
back over the deeds the young hit
ting sensation has done in the last
several weeks it must be stated that
no records for optimism were being
established.
Travis truly is the hard-luck guy
Of the Washington ball club. He is
leading the American League in hit
ting, yes, but today he frets ion the
sidelines while nursing his tenth
spike injury of the season. And how
he managed to play in as many games
rs he has, not to mention hit 1876,
can be tribute only to gallant
heart and determination.
Cecil was spiked painfully on the
left ankle in the sixth inning yester-
day and not only was it not an enemy
who did the spiking but it was Team
mate Buddy Lewis his roommate and
off-the-field buddy. Both youngsters
went after a slow-roller hit by Bill
Werber yesterday, as the Mats won a
5-to-4 decision over the AS. and they
collided Lewis finally came up with
the ball, but Travis did not come up
at all. He remained on the ground

Predicts unney|
Former Champion Believes Nazi
Pugilist Can Pin Bomber's
Ears Back Again

New York, Dec. 8.-(R)-After Tues
day at Madame Bey's training en-
porium, there can be no further doubt
that Gene Tunney is expanding and
mellowing in the ripeness Of his 80
years.
No one out at Madame Bey's re.
treat in New Jersey would believe It
when word arrived that the former
champion was going to watch Max
Schmeling work out. Nine years had
passed since he had hung up the
gloves, and In that time he never had
done more than bow stiffly to the
business that made him his fortune.
But he showed up on time. hustled
genially into the heart Of the camp
Madame Beys dining room-and for
two hours appeared to enjoy him
self like kid out Of school.
He sat and slipped wine and swap
ped loud talk with score Of sports
writer's and roundly deplored the local
movement to boycott Schmeling's bout
with Harry Thomas Monday night at
Madison Square Garden, because he Is
a Nazi.
The little gymnasium was packed
with townsfolk when Gene climbed
the hill to watch Schmeling toll. They
gave him a humping welcome. He
watched the German keenly, and
didn't hesitate or split an infinitive
in picking him to knock out Joe Louis
cold again next June.

High Court May
Pass on Football

Washington, Dec. The SUI
preme court may be asked to decide
whether football IS an essential state
function"
The question arose in. connection
with federal taxes on tickets of admis-
sion to college football games.
Four state universities-Iowa, West
Virginia, Minnesota and Georgia =
have challenged the governments
right to force them to collect the tax.
One has won a suit in lower courts
to prevent payment Of the taxes to the
federal treasury. The government
won another, and two cases are pend
ing. The four suits involve total OF
$1l9,332 in admission taxes.
Amusement tax laws levy 10 per
cent on all admissions of more than
40 cents. The government has ruled
that the state universities must COL
lect the tax and pay 1t to the collector
of internal revenue.
But, the universities contend the
government Is without authority to
tax a state institution performing an
essential state function - football is
essential, they say.
The internal revenue bureau sued
the University Of Minnesota for $10s,-
157; West Virginia for $2,029, and
Iowa for $4,335, while Georgia sought
to avoid paying $4,8l0.

National League to
Return to Dead Ball
Junior Circuit, Blessed With
Heavier Hitters, Votes to
Retain Lively Pellet

Chicago, Dec. 8.-(R-American
leaguers will keep on their primrose
path Of happy customers and home
runs for 1898 while their National
League cousins go back to the old skin
game Of squeeze play, shorter hits and
photo finish games.
A bit sore at each others wilfulness
in the matter, the American League
voted Tuesday to retain the old lively
ball whereas the National Leaguers,
unblessed by such home run hitters as
Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig and Jimmy
Foxx, decided to go back to the deader
horseshoe.
Thus, after four years Of agreement
on the ball, the two leagues again find
they have agreed to disagree.
What the difference in the baseball
will be Is anybody's guess. One ball
manufacturer said the American
League ball would travel but few feet
farther than the National brand, while
another said the difference might be
as much as 200 or more home runs for
the Americans. In manufacture, the
new National League sphere has q
slightly heavier cover and five strands
of thread instead Of four.
Both league heads blamed the other
for the split.
Both leagues meet In joint session
Wednesday, final one Of the annual
convention, and there is bare posi-
bility the Nationals may relent and
decide to use the old ball for another
year.
A few major league pilots and club
owners still hoped to swing a. few last
minute deals In the final hours Of the
deadest trading bee in years.
The Boston Red Sox landed very
promising recruit Tuesday night by
buying Ted Williams, 19-year-old out
fielder, from the San Diego Padres.

Fans Blame Officials
When Bruins Are Beat
lBy the Associated Pressl

The Montreal Canadiens, although
they faltered through the first few
games, are off to the same kind Of
start that gave them the international
division title in the National hockey
league last season. And the Boston
fans are the same kind of superheated
rooters they have been for good
many years.
Those facts were brought out Tues
day night as the Canadiens won and
the Bruins lost in the only two games
on the league schedule.
The flying Frenchmen walloped
their Montreal rivals, the Maroons,
81, before crowd Of 5000, the larg-
est Of the season at Montreal.
The Bruins, yielding to the Detroit
Red Wings, 80, suffered their first
defeat Of the season on their home
rink and the cash customers blamed
It on the officials.

Three-Year Regulation in Force

Adopted at Point

West Point, N. Y, Dec. 8.-(P-1he
athletic eligibility "ghost" that has
haunted Army's football relations with
Navy, the Big Ten and virtually all
of its major gridiron rivals for years.
was laid to rest Tuesday.
In move that made 1t appear
Army was definitely giving ground
particularly in view Of the recent Big
Ten decision removing the ban from
West Point as gridiron opposition, the
military academy changed its eligib-
ility rules to conform with the STAN
dard at Navy and "the leading civilian
colleges in the country"
The switch, announced Tuesday
night by the academy's superinten-
dent, Maj. Gen. William D. Connor,
would put Army athletes under the
three-year varsity eligibility rule in
force on the squads of every big time
college.
Up to now, Army has permitted its
athletes to play three years at West
Point, regardless of previous varsity
experience at other colleges before en-
tering the academy.
Under this category have come
Light Horse" Harry Wilson, among
Army's greats, who played at Penn
State before entering the Point: Tiny
Hewett, who went to Army after per-
forming for Pitt, and Elmer Oliphant,
who completed his career at Purdue
before matriculating at the academy.
Aside from raising the question of
the status of those former college
athletes still In West Point, or plan
ming to enter, the change went q
long way toward explaining the Big
Ten conferences recent decision to
renew relations with Army.
