Talking It Over BV JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. March 20. THE director ol physical education at Wesley university has contrived a code of sportsmanship under which it is hoped *at least by that- director' that the college baseball games ol the coming season and subsequent seasons will be contested. “The code.” he writes, “is intended to emphasize the fart that baseball is a game to be played without interference from spectators, without chicanery through the noisy disconcerting of players and with a rigid respect for the precepts of ethical conduct.” Listed among the solemn ambition* of th* rod* of portrman*hlp a rr: I. A tradition of court**v to visiting foams on the part of thr most as well a* thr spectator*. 2. The abolition of shouts from thr stands drsirnrd to rattlr and unnerve pitcher*. 3. Thr discouraging *of roarhrs on thr base lines from addressing onseemlv remarks to the opposition. t. Thr urging of plav*ra not to protest derision of the umpire* bv discourteous words or actions. ft. The discontinuance of such sharp and sinister practices as yellinr "get back ’ or "lookout ’ to an opposing plaver about to make a catch with the view of confusing him. ft. A strict departure from the tawdry professional manner of cmploving freak deliveries In the ho* or stopping to pick op dirt at the hat in an attempt to disconcert the pitcher and thus draw a bas* j on ball* a a tt

All of which Is perfectly lonely and very fine as far as It goes, but I hardly think It goes far enough. No .specifications are made for uniforms. Naturally, It would be heathenism to wear ihe vulgar flannels which the professionals effect. Perhaps silk middles, velvet rompers and hair nets would do. And. of course, there should be an interval for the serving of tea and Jelly wafer*, in the English cricket manner, and instead of a dugout the players should be provided with divans upon which they may repose between innings, nap THE current idioms of the game would have to be discarded in favor of a softer and more eloquent speech. If I properly sense the spirit of the suggested reform the mere mention of such vulgarisms as “socking the old tomato” and “buzz one past his chin” would be sufficient to spoil the whole afternoon for everybody. It places no excessive burden on the imagination to picture a faithful account of a game played along the lines of courtesy for all and fun for none. It would read something like this: "The Violets met the Pansies here today j In a baseball match and a very delight- j a ful time had by all. There was a . ■ plethora of splendid tossing on the part i Ilf both of the hoimen, and frequent ■ manifestations of speed upon the base j ■ lines. 1 "Throughout the match the hitsmen Kept up an inspiring drumming with ■ heir maces and many long graceful Imashcs were dispatched to the territories, a feu of which were captured And firmly held by the adventurous per- j pons stationed in those distant points, i "The match was marked hy a warming display of friendliness and etiquette and was conducted in the chivalrous spirit of one for all and all for one. Your correspondent believes that it can truthfully be said that the thirteen spectators, eleven of whom left after the second inning. never saw anything like It before." tt tt tt My apologies for the foregoing tosh. Courtesy and friendliness on the field o£ sport arc all right. Nobody has any quarrel with the idea, whether It applies to professionals or amateurs. But I believe there is such a thing as carrying these idealistic theories to hilarious lengths. a a a IAM hoping secretly that the first game played under the Wesleyan parlor rules breaks up in a beautiful riot and the umpire is chased into the next county. Too many of our fine old native institutions have been legislated into decay already. a e a I’m for keeping baseball—or what's left of it—pleasantly rowdy and at least reasonably virile.

BUTLER WAITS FOR ALL FACTS BEFORE ACTION ON OUSTER Butler university officials today awaited return of Dr. J. W. Putnam, dean of the university, from Chicago Friday with a complete list of facts concerning the action of the North Central Association of Colleges in expelling Butler from the association Wednesday. Jack Atherton, financial secretary, said a complete statement from the board of trustees probably would be made as well as one by Dr. Robert Aley, president, after Putnam's report is received. Dispatches from Chicago where the executive committee of the association was in session at the time of the action against Butler, stated the expulsion was made because Butler’s endowment fund was cut below the association standard as a result of the erection of the new fieldhouse and stadium.

The athletic plant at Butler against which the action of the executive board of the North Central Association of Colleges directs a major share of its criticism, is regarded worth more than $500,000, exclusive of the forty acres of ground on which it is VWiilt. It consists of a large fieldhouse in which the past three state high school final tournaments have been played to capacity crowds, a swimming pool, running track, women’s, gymnasium and offices of the athletic department. Adjacent to the fieldhouse is a concrete football Stadium which at this stage of completion, seats 35,000 spectators, but which never has been filled. Plant Is Incorporated The athletic plant is incorporated with forty-one local business men as the incorporators. According to the incorporation. Butler university has twenty-five years to retire the bonds. Part of this retirement plan was to lease the fieldhouse to the Indiana State High School Athletic

Do not report to San Antonio until you have answered the foregoing questions to me.” The White Sox offices here said the contract Shires accepted was the original one offered him, which called for a $7,000 salary.

Claude Jonnard

Claude Jonnard, the veteran right-hand speed ball artist, surprised Tribesmen in training at Sarasota, Fla., when he displayed a dazzling change of pace during batting practice Wednesday. The former Cub hurler who joined the Indians late last season, has been working on the new delivery, made in the same way he throws his fast ball, during the winter months, and Wednesday's performance was the first trial. He intends to test it further when he takes the mound against the Detroit Tigers Friday at Tampa. Manager Corriden, other members of the squad, and Claude himself expressed satisfaction with the new change of pace.

Tribe Manager Names Jonnard to Start on Mound Against Detroit Veteran Right-Hander Perfects Baffling Change of Pace to Be Tried on Harris’ Squad at Tampa: Hoosier Pastimers Anxious to Repeat Victory. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor SARASOTA. Fla.. March 19.—Much in the manner of a footbn i coach, Manager Johnny Corriden practices the system of “pointing” hiIndians for the next engagement and planned to tune up the boys today for the second conflict of spring with the Detroit Tigers at Tampa Friday. The Tribe pilot realizes the fans back home enjoy seeing thenteam upset big league opponents, and if he can repeat against Bucky Harris’ aggregation it will mean another victory feather in the cap ol the hard-working chieftain. When the Indian mound staff held Detroit to two hits here last. Monday, Florida baseball tongues were set to wagging and the Corriden crew received widespread publicity over the state, Cvengros and Payne operated in that contest and Johnny has slated Jonnard and Cvengros and either Hall or Wolf to do the flinging in Tampa Friday The park in the Cigar City has short fences, the barriers having been moved in by Tampa authorities to increase the home run crop, and there probably will be numerous base hits chalked up when Indians and Tigers resume their series.

Claude Jonnard will be the Tribe's starting pitcher. The veteran right-hander, famous for fast ball pitching, supplied Corriden and Ills mates with something to rave about Wednesday when he experimented with a slow ball delivered with the same motion as his fast ones, and convinced his mates the change of pace will help him. Crouse on Receiving End Catcher Crouse handled Jonnard during the test, while Manager Corriden and Umpire Larry Goetz stood by and looked for flaws. All the critics were pleased with Jonnard’s ability to “hide” the pace change, and Claude himself declared the experiment encouraged him. If a batter fails to detect when a slow ball is coming, he usually is thrown out of stride and falls a victim if the thrower has control. Jonnard has been in baseball a long time without bothering with fast ball change of pace, for h& has depended entirely on speed and more speed and a curve occasionally Hurlers seldom reach the heights of the diamond profession and remain up there unless they master the art of tricking the hitter. Corriden Exhausted Corriden was exhausted when he left the field Wednesday. It was a hard workout on a scorching hot day and he grew impatient at times during the drill on defensive tactics to be used when balls are hit to the outfield with the runners on the sacks. At, one time, when the infielders failed to click properly on the handling of throws, the Tribe boss halted action and announced practice would continue all day if swifter thinking was not forthcoming, and

the athletes produced to perfection after that speech. Long batting drill was taken and some of the hurlers came in for closer Inspection. Oral Hildebrand was asked to take more time when he pitched and to cease working too fast. The former collegian has all the earmarks of a future great. Corriden declares, and for that reason he is giving the youth lots of time to find himself. For discipline and physical condition the Indians don't have to doff their caps to any team in Florida this spring and some of the presure will be taken off of fielding practice during the remainder of the stay in the sunshine state. Lack Reserve Strength Some of the Tribe pastimers have reached form unusually early and with heat weather on tap now it becomes necessary for certain players to guard against overexercise. However, there will be no letup in the grind for the few who have some poundage to reduce. With only twenty-three players in camp and eleven of them pitchers. Corriden must be careful about the conditioning process. He is short of reserve strength on the infield and in the outfield and would be placed in a mighty tough spot if one or two regulars got crippled. The matter of reserve power in baseball is an important item and lack of if often punishes managers with sleepless nights. KNUTE ROCKNE TO SPEAK Bu Times Spr< ini SOUTH BEND. Ind..
