music has to offer. Tunney, of course, has done all these things since his final night of fighting when he bathed in. the blood of poor Tom Heeney. The chances are that before he finishes with the quiet life Armstrong will have outdone Tunney. He in- tends to be creative in a literary way. Already he has started work on The Road to Glory" his autobiography. He has written some poetry but does not feel that he has yet done his best work.
 Armstrong makes it clear that he is not retiring this year because he feels he is through as a fighter, but because the atmosphere of gymna- siums, training camps, and the like, are not conducive to literary out put.
 Hard on Henry
 Tt is the long training grind for fights that runs Henry crazy" Eddie Mead, Armstrong's manager, told me. All he really needs to get ready for a scrap is five or six days. Take the one he is going to have with Ceferino Garcia here this month. He could start work a week before the fight and be in top shape. But he must start a month early so that the newspaper men can write about him and the fight fans can go out. and see him work. This sort of thing is particularly hard on a fellow who knows it is all useless and that he he just working for nothing"
 In regard to Armstrong's fight with Garcia for the middleweight cham pionship, Mead, one of the most sen- sible managers in the game, doesn't lightly dismiss the chances of the Filipino.
 Garcia hits so hard that he will have a chance against anybody as long as he is able to climb into 8 ring" Mead said. '"That bolo punch of his, which is nothing more than a dressed up right hand uppercut, is a heller. When Henry fought him in New York, Garcia caught him back of the ear with the bolo in the 18th round and Henry started dropping. He managed to come out of it before falling, but he wouldn't have, had the punch caught him on the chin. Garcia will stiffen anybody he hits Squarely"
 Did Mead think Henry could go against the bigger and better Gacia of today and still win?
 T honestly do. Henry never looked better than he did in stopping Mon- tanez. He weighed nearly TAO and was punching harder than ever. He didn't throw as many punches as he usually does, but he wasn't wasting any. Every one he threw landed and meant something. He won't be quite as fast against Garcia as he was in New York, but he'll be much surer and stronger. don't think the Fili- pino will be able to get to him in 10 rounds. Henryll get his fourth title, and, after one or two more. bouts call it quits."

 New York. Feb. 13-(UP)-Pitts- burgh Pirate Outfielder Paul Waner's first hit of the 1940 season will be the 2,S00th of his major lea gue career.
 This and scores of other facts can be gleaned from the 1940 edition of the Green Book, official glossary of the National League, published specifically for baseball writers. who annually wonder why it's 52 pages of baseball 'do you knows" aren't printed for public consumption. Paul Waner is the only active player with three major league bat ting crows-1927, 1884 and 1936--to his credit but needs three more sea- sons of 200-hit production to come close to Honus Wagner's all-time National League lifetime record of S.430 hits.

 Every time Mel Ott clouts a homesr this year he'll break q rec ord. He finished one behind Johnny Mize, Cardinals, for season honors with 27 but advanced his lifetime total to 369 for . new National League record. He batted in 100 runs last year, the ninth time in his l4-year career that he's belonged to the "100- or more" club. Two more such seasons and he will ex- ceed Roger Hornsby's lifetime rec ord of l.582. Ott now has l,se6.

GRIFFITH HEADS MOVE TO HELP
 ALL PITCHERS
More Leg Motion to Be Al- lOwed-NOthing Done
 on Intentional Pass
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff COrresp0ndentl

Belleair, Fla, Feb. 13 = UP0 = The theme song of baseball pitch CTS next season will be swing and sway" if Clark Griffith of Washing ton, an old-time finger himself, and the rules-makers have the right idea in their latest legislation.
 In an attempt to give the pitch CTS some relief from the lively ball, cheap home run and other rules aiding the batter, the major league rules committee yesterday passed new amendment permitting moundsman the free use of his left leg to take a backward step Cor his right leg if he is southpaw) in the act of delivering the ball.
 Under the rule in force last sea- son a pitcher was allowed to have one foot of the rubber but he had to keep it stationary. Under the 1940 legislation, he can take a back ward step enabling him to pitch with a rocking or swinging motion.
 Aids Smart Pitchers
 The rule was sponsored by Clark Griffith, the old fox who pitched in Jack Chesbro's time. He is certain it will help the smart pitchers who'll concentrate on taking ad- vantage of its possibilities. The rules committee, composed of seven mem- bers and presided over by Commis- Sioner K. M. Lardis, did ont pass the rule unanimously.
 The lone disSenter was Eddie Col- lins, general manager of the Boston Red Sox, who opposed it vigorously on the contention it would bring about more cheating than ever among the pitchers.
 "The next thing we'll have is thet pitchers cheating with their pivot foot" said Collins. T don't think the rule will serve the purpose for which it it's intended. If we are go- ing to give the pitcher any help, let's bring back the spitbal."
 Mere mention of the Spitball brought opposition from several fronts, especially from Griffith who said: Nobody would ever get hit of good spit-ball pitcher k Both league presidents, Will Har- ridge of the American and Ford Prick of the National, believe Grif- fith's rule will prove of considerable aid to the pitchers.
 Ed Barrow's suggestion to allow a batter to be given his base auto matically when pitcher wanted to walk him purposely was voted down unanimously. Bob Quinn's effort to give batter two bases when he passed deliberately with men on bases was tossed out by the com- mittee before they could put it to a vote.

 Five Indicted By Jury

Boston, Feb. 13-CUP)-Leaders of three groups operating two Grey hound racing tracks since pari- mutuel betting was installed six years ago today considered new steps to secure permits to conduct dog racing in Massachusetts this year.
 Though they offered no immediate comment on the state racing com- missions reection yesterday of their applications for 1940 meet dates, they complained that the decision left them no choice but to reorgan- ize or sell their holdings.
 The commission in its decision concurred with Governor Leverett Saltonstall's edict that dog race tracks must be operated only by reputable Massachusetts citizens. It denied applications of the Bay State Greyhound Association, Inc, Old Harbor Kennel Club, Inc, and the Bristol County Kennel Club, Inc.
 New Group ...
 A new organization, known as the Massachusetts Coursing Association and headed by Arthur (Jocko) Con- lon, former Boston Braves shortStop and Harvard graduate, plans to ap- ply for dates soon.
