Ban On Chewing Tobacco.
Worries George Mare
Than His Debut With
By DihI6Ni tsHAiiAM
AP Features Sports Editor

Alp Features Sports Editor
NEW YORK, Mar. l9--As time
approaches for his debut with the
Yankees, George Stirnweiss is
wondering not how he'll go in the
majors, but how much he'll miss
his big chew of tobacco.
A large plug for his jaws to
work on has been as much of the
standard baseball equipment for
George as his knee length pants
and spiked shoes. But not this
year; Georges stomach can't take
it anymore. A couple of years
ago he was operated on for ulcers
Since then, he has had to waite.
his diet.
And tobacco chewing is out
George doesn't know whether
chewing gum will satisfy him OF.
whether he'll feel lost out there
on the diamond without, some
thing between his jaws. 2 =
Up From Newark - B
Stirnweiss, in case the name
isn't familiar, is a young in
fielder, up from Newark, and
there is a growing impression in

University of North Carolina,
that he was actually contacted.
Down at Chapel Hill, George
was known primarily as a foot
ball player, and he was good
enough to be selected as ALI
Southern quarterback. But he
played baseball and basketball
too, and captained both of those
teams. He broke into pro ball
after graduation in 1910 with
Norfolk. The next year-the
Yankees having already decided
he was a. young man going
places-he played 100 games at
second base for Newark before
being hospitalized for the stom-
ach operation.
Last year he was the spark
plug of the Bears infield, one
of the loop leaders in runs batted
in. He batted .270, and when
you suggest that isn't a very
fat average, he reminds you that
Joe Gordon at Newark didn't
compile a, thick average either
and that he did all right in the
majors.
II think can hit major league
he says Il hit pretty
long ball to all fields. l was
really scared two years ago when
/ made the jump from way down
in the minors to fast Class "A
ball but I'm not a bit appre-
hensive about my chances in
the majors. / guess the extra
years of experience have given
me more confidence"
Bill MYer is high on Stirn-
weiss. He called George "one
of the best players in the mi
nors last year. a second base
man with an exceptional abil-
itY to go to his right one of
the best in getting the ball
away from all positions. and
the best base runner I've seen"
George is %, 5 feet 8. and
weighs 178. He coached sports at
Canterbury School, Kent, Conn.,,
for the past several months. He
has supported his mother and a
young brother since his father
died three years ago. Early in
March he married Miss Jane Pow
ers of Newark.
His nickname is Snuffy. Keep
an eye on him.

points out that in the future the
public will not be annoyed with
senseless and burdensome de-
mands from bureaucratic busy
bodies.
He cautions, however, that tax
returns and other information es-
sential to the operation of the Blu
reau of Internal Revenue do not
come under the act which is aim
ed at the promiscuous demands

fiber to be used for cordage in
manufacture of synthetic rubber
tires next year.
The action was designed to re-

fabrlcators feared might wreck plans
for manufacture of millions of tires
for both military and civilian use
in 1914. 1t will make civilian rayon
