Mats Easily Trim St. Paul

Leonard and James Henry Dean
due tomorrow Harris and Pres
ident Clark Griffith still stand firm in
their belief that in Leonard, Sid Hud-
son. Ken Chase and Masterson, they
have the nucleus of good pitching
staff. What worries them is the
second flight of slabmen.
Arnold Anderson was not exactly
ball of fire yesterday at Leesburg.
Neither was Hudson, for that mat
ter, but he left Anderson with a
6-to-1 lead when he retired after five
innings and Andy, lacking his fast
ball, had tough going. He was
nicked for seven hits in the last
four innings and gave up st. PauTs
final three runs.
The Mats clinched the affair, more
or less, in the two opening innings.
They climbed on Harry Taylor for
six runs and after this lead was
compiled, they contented themselves
with making singles on doubles,
doubles on triples, etc.

b. e Staff Correspondent OF The Star
OCALA. Fla, March 25.-Witl the
Mats riding the victory wave and
holding a record of four straight
wins, Bucky Harris is going to defy
the managerial rule by changing his
lineup. In championship competi-
ton he probably would give it no
thought but the substitution of
Mickey Vernon at first base now
comes under the heading of scientific
experimental ton, or something.
Vernon, the guy who wasn't
wanted and then who was wanted
when Draftee George Archie didn't
behave like a major league hitter,
will make his 194l debut tomorrow
in Orlando when the Mats, reSuming
their campaign against American
Association teams, play Kansas City.
Jack Sanford has done all right so
far. He is hitting .30l for five games
and if Vernon wasn't so hot in
batting practice, Jack probably
would remain at the station until
Archie delivered or was released.
Button, Button, Etc.
Until the Mats embark later this
week on a three-day tour of Miami
and Miami Beach against the
Phillies and Giants, Vernon likely
will be the big news. The games
against American Association teams
mean nothing. Under sharply de-
fined wraps, the Mats licked st, Paul
yesterday in Leesburg, to 4, and
here today they were to play Mil
waukee. Tomorrow the opposition
will be provided by Kansas City.
Harris is inclined to favor Vernon
as his first baseman but this does
not mean the others, Sanford and
Archie, are out of the running. Of
the threesome, Archie is the best
fielder. He is as good, or better. on
defense as Joe Kuhel. Vernon is
ranked second afield but Sanford
has tremendous hitting possibilities
Archie is more experienced, Vernon
is second. Archie is by far the best
base runner, Vernon is second. San
ford promises more at the plate,
perhaps, than the others. Vernon
again is second.
Figure that out. Harris has been
trying for many days. As he puts
it, "All I've got to do is play the
three of them until, one by one,
they eliminate themselves"

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, March 25.-If
there was anything wrong with the
present code under which girls baS-
ket ball is played, Lee Hodgins OF
Kansas City would know about it
and would have suggested change.
Hodgins has refereed in every one
of the II National A. A. U. tourna-
mentS. He attended the 1885 rules
meeting in Wichita, KanS.. at which
the tie-ball rule was liberalized and
a rowing guard permitted to cross
the center stripe and participate in
the scoring.
Each change was designed to
speed up the game and make it more
interesting for the players and spec
tators," HodginS explained, once
they were incorporated, a hand
off policy was adopted and adhered
to religiously."
Approved by DIR. Naismith.
Hodgins recalls that DR.. James A.
Naismith, the games inventor, at
tended the lawmaking session and
approved the changes.
IF I had my way, the men would
also adopt the same rules that gov
ern women's play. The code you
have set up for the conduct of wom-
ems play puts the game on the exact
basis that I had in mind when in
vented it" Hodgins quotes DR.. Mai
smith as saying.
Before the tie-ball rule was lib
eralized, a girl in the act of shooting
anywhere on the floor could not be
molested. Now the shooter faces
the same guarding tactics as her
brother athlete.
First-round play in the 18th an
nual tournament was completed yes

started at noon and lasted until
early today.

Rules Proposals Up Today.

The outcome Of Yesterdays argu-
ment was that the Rules Committee
suggested that the blackboard be S
feet by 4 feet with no options as
TO its shape, but that didn't mean all
the coaches we're convinced. The
rules proposals will come up for a
vote of the convention today and,
if approved, will be presented to the
National Rules Committee at Kan
saS City next week.
Other recommendations concerned
Standardization of equipment. Sam
Barry of Southern California
summed up the general idea when
he said a survey he had made
showed the coaches were more in
terested in uniformity than in the
kind of equipment used. The COM
mittee's suggestion was that the
playing surface be standardized at
90 feet from end to end, or "a feet
from basket to basket, and so feet
in width.
