Executive Director, Central once for East
ern 1ntercollegiate Athletics.
NEW YORK, Jan. lion Janu-
ary 8, the first working day of 1898,
the central Office for Eastern inter-
collegiate athletics opened for busi-
ness with a membership of II leagues
and associations representing 50-odd
colleges and universities in seven
sports

so rapidly, in fact, that last month
we had to move into larger quarters.
Today. as we move forward in our
second year, we have 13 groups rep
resenting So schools in nine sports.
The purpose behind the formation
of the central Office was twofold:
TO achieve greater efficiency in our
ahiliated groups at less cost to them
and their component colleges; to
centralize the administrative func-
tlons OF as many intercollegiate Or
ganizations as cared to avail them
selves Of the services Of such an
agency.

Successor 10
be|ting Lou
Trio Of Minor Sturs
Also Are Held in
Reserve by Club
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE cham
pion Yankees are counting on Lou
Gehrig to play first base for only
one more season, or two at the out
side, so their scouts and minor
league managers are under orders to
come up with slugging replace
ment for the 35-year-old iron
man."
At present there are four pros
poets on tap, with Tommy Heinrich,
the clubs hard-hitting right-fielder,
more than likely to be converted
into Gehrig's successor. Heinrich
was given lot of practice around
the bag last year and convinced
Manager Joe Mccarthy he could
fill the bill.
The only flaw in this plan is that
the Yankees might not be able to
spare Tommy from their outfield.
1t all depends on how well Charley
Keller, the brilliant young outfielder
from Newark, lives up to his press
notices.
Three in Line for Job.
AS additional insurance against
the day when Gehrig's legs finally
crack under the strain of playing
million -or-so consecutive games,
the Yank scouts have reported en-
Enthusiastically on three Of the Yank's
chattels. They are Ed Levy, who
was with Binghampton last year;
Johnny Sturm, who was at Louis
vile on option, and Leonard Cab
rielson, who slugged the ball for
seattle.
"All three are fine prospects, so
good that we don't need to worry
much about Lou's dropping out"
said one Of the undercover agents.
Both Levy and Gabrielson are big
men and distance hitters of the
Gehrig type, and Sturm hits well
enough. Levy is stepping up either
to Newark or Kansas City this sea-
son. Well know more about him
after year Of class AA experience "
Meanwhile Lou, the object of all
this solicitude, is devoting his days
to fishing out in Long Island Sound
and makes no predictions on how
much longer he will last. AL he
knows is that he still loves to play
baseball. especially at his current
salary of $500 a year.
Lou Loses His Foot.
Considered by many the greatest
first baseman who ever lived, the
Iron Horse slowed perceptibly the
last two campaigns, and for the first
time in his big league career his
batting average fell below 300 last
year. He was forced to make a
great rally in the closing month to
bring it up to a respectable .2e5.
1t is believed likely that the Yam
KEGS, for old times sake If nothing
else, will offer Lou another contract
for $4,000 and let him be the games
highest paid player for one, more
year.
Gehrig's admirers here are wishing
he would break an old rule and 20
South few weeks ahead of the
main squad to work himself gradu-
ally into condition. But they know
he won't do it. He'll be there exactly
on opening day, throwing the bail
hard from the start and generally
acting like a colt in fresh pasture.

Henry's Punch Decides.
He had just finished his SD round
opposite Henry Armstrong with
never a knockdown scored against
him; nor had he been seriously
hurt.
In the final counting it was Arm

several times for his jerky shoulder
movements in the clinches and his
bobbing head, Armstrong lost at
least one round for accidentally
butting.
From the first to the last 1t was
a battle made both monotonous and
gripping by the constant, never
ending exchange of blows, with
neither able to hurt the other.
Twice in the fourth and again in

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Babe Ruth.

was under treatment in French Hos

Believing cheerfully at visitors,
the 45-year-old Babe was more wor-

former boss-Col. Jacob Rupert,
owner Of the New oYrk Yankees
than his own ailment.
Heck, I'm all right" he said.

totaling the average expenses of
each Of our leagues during recent
years, and we managed to complete
the IL months about 8 per cent un-
der that figure. However, the true
test Of success will come not merely
In reducing expense and doing a
better job for our members than
they could do for themselves, but in
giving them greater service. It is
along these lines that we intend to
expand in 1899 and in future years.
Another way in which the central
Office may grow is through admis-
sion of new organizations in
branches of athletics which we now
cover or in other sports on the in
tercolleglate program. Personally, I
feel we should move slowly in that
direction, guarding against the pos
sibility of overburdening ourselves
and then finding that we are doing
only a fair job for a great many
members rather than an outstand-
ing job for few.
1t Is difficult to generalize about
the work of the central Office, since
each Of our 13 member organizations
has Its own peculiar problems and
distinctive system of operation. But
we try to simplify their administra-
ton, make one job cover two or more
leagues wherever possible, name Of
f1cials for their events and expedite
their schedule-making.
Our two largest members are the
Intercollegiate A. A. A. A. (track and
f1eld) with II colleges and the East

balD with "a.
For the former, our chief task Is
conducting the three championships
Indoor and outdoor track and field
and cross-country. In doing so we
attempt to provide a better show for
the spectators, better competition
for the teams and more satisfactory
conditions for the athletes. Two i'm
portant steps in that direction, I
believe, were the addition of a 1000
yard run to the indoor program and
a mile relay to the outdoor. That
produced a better balance between
track and field events.

small group Of top-grade officials
with each getting more assignments
than at present. The success Of this
work depends on the manner Of
selection Of this reduced staff, but
during the last season We collected
an immense amount Of data on the
qualifications of our officials and
therefore hope to be able to choose
the outstanding men without in
justice to any.
Whether the accomplishments of
the central of11ce's first year have
met or fallen short of what might
be considered normal expectancy,
the member leagues and associations
must Judge. am hopeful that the
agency has justified fully its estab-
lishment. for even my short expert
ence with the work convinces me
that 1t offers great opportunity for
future benefits to intercollegiate
athletics.
