The Mountaineers' coach is bent on winning tills game, and appears to be worried as much over the result as one of the important struggles back home.

WHY do clever fighters all have elephant ears? Freddy Welsh was about as nimble as any fighter who ever toured the ling. Yet. when Fred quit dodging leather violence, his left ear looked like some hippo's platters. That's where he used to take ’em. He had to let ’em register somewhere, so he gave up his ear to Queensbury science and research. Other less diplomatic fighters might prefer ’em on their chins and beaks. But that’s where microbes of IC. O. lurk waiting for some punch to start ’em Soiling over. There is no fighter who can slip every punch over his epaulets. Some of 'em reach their right addrewes. But those tiiat do get home, generally wipe tluir feet on that ear doormat. Most fighters being right-handed, that left crystal receiver gets its quota of Children’s Bedtime Slams. It grad ually starts to puff up. In about two \ ears, it's in full bloom. When punches are coming thicker than your landlady's words, friend ear blossoms >ut like semaphores in rush hour. Fred's ear got so big that even w hen he was alone, he looked like lie was talking with some friend. But r.ow, that he has quit fighting, his vegetarian waffle is slowly resuming its prewar size. It will gradually simmer down. But It will never look ihe same. Before you get into any arguments with any strangers in subways or l inousines, look at their left ears. If they look something like a fried oys ter. change the subject. Tt takes many years for an ear like that to lose its bouquet dimen sions. But rest and good air will cure anything.

Basket ball is so essentially a game of motion that the consideration and analysis of motion is very necessary. The ability to start quickly, to stop suddenly, to out jump an opponent, to dodge or pivot nway from him and then again to guard him, if he has the ball, are all more or less natural movements; but because they are so natural, they are little under stood. and consequently little herded.

Belden gave Frank Isbell $9,000 for permis sion to transplant Carl East from the Wichita outflekl to a place In the garden of the Minneapolis Mill ers, he took away the Babe Ruth of tho Tearney Circuit. Like the mighty Bambino, East broke in ns a pitcher. He was toiling along on the mound staff of the Sioux City club four years ago when Isbell grabbed him, southpawing with very poor success. He had plenty of stuff on the ball and plenty of speed, but he had difficulty locating the plate as a record of 100 liases on balls in tys 27 games would Indicate. He man aged to make up for some of his poor pitching, however, by going in as a pinch hitter or outfielder in a number of games. Isbell tried him again in 1920 as a pitcher, and lie did better, winning nine and losing six against six vic tories and 11 reverses in 1919. But before the season was finished, Isbell definitely had decided that Carl was worth a wrole lot more in the game every day so that his bat could keep busy, for he finally got into 93 games, turning in a batting percent age of .377. It was in 1921 that East "arrived” as a slugger. He got into every one of the 168 games his team pluyed that season and came out with a batting percentage of .383, the best in the league for players participating In a majority of the games. Not only that, but he smashed all previous records for the Western league by registering a total, of 418 bases, cosisting of 132 singles, 69 j doubles, right triples and 20 home runs. Official records of the Western league for 1922 which have just made their appearance, show that again he has set a new record, adding 13 bases 1 to his total, and bringing the league mark up to 433. He dropped off eight in bis doubles and two in his triples, but he banged out 21 more singles and ! lour more homers. For his four years in the circuit he | goes out with a grand butting per centage of 383, each year showing a j marked improvement over the previ ous season. Another indication that the behe mothic swatter is just finding his stride is that whereas he did not steal a single base In his first two seasons, lie swiped three in 1921 and then last ! year pilfered 15.

Deal With Coast Club Is Delayed New York, Dec. 2k—The deal where by the Yankees were to acquire Pitch er Jakie May front the Vernon club of the Pacific Coast league, in ex change for four players, has run afoul of certain complications anil / will be delayed for some time until the difficulties can be ironed out. This was the sum and substance of re marks dropped by Business Manager Barrow today. The hitch which has developed in the negotiations, is caused by the modest demand of the Vernon offi cials that the Yankees go on a shop ping tour through the American league and buy from other clubs, two players whom the Coast team wants included in the deal. The Ver nonites-have specified that these play ers be included in the four which will be swapped for May and the Yankees are the least bit dazed by the request.

"YVhy, if we could get these two players,” he exclaimed, "we w’ould keep them for ourselves, they are so good.” Two Million Is Lost by Track Followers on Nag Worth $700— Is Known as “Bookies’ Friend” By FRANK G. MENKE. In all the years that the turf game has endured In America no horse ever has been a greater friend of the bookmakers than Lord Her bert, the 7-year-old gelding, owned by Ed Arlington. There's no way of estimating defi nitely what Lord Herbert has cost the boss players this year alone. But it's reasonably safe to say that over $2,000,000 has been plunged upon his chances for victory through 1922— and never once has the gelded son of Fitz IJerbert-Manzanita galloped home in (front. Beyond $2,000,000 wagered and lost in a single year upon a $700 race horse—that's the story. Lord Herbert 'is the "lure” horse of his generation. lie runs every race in a way to force the conviction that he surely will triumph in his next start. But always—always— through 1922 lias he fallen short of the mark. And yet those who backed him at the start of the year are still backing him. Lord Herbert has disappointed —has crimped their bankrolls—as has no other horse of the year. But they are still playing him—and will con tinue—in the hope that some day he will win and they will get back some of the money that has been lost in backing him. Great Finisher. But the hope, as time flits* seems barren. The public, which has back ed him in something like 25 starts this yeur, could not recoup unless Lord Herbert some day won at 23 i or 30 to 1. And he’ll never be that price. For the "bookies'' never have laid better than an average price of 1 (i to 1 against him. Always slow to get under way. most always a sufferer from interfer ! ence or pocketed in the early run j nlng. Lord Herbert never fails to hit j the stretch with the speed of the 20th century express. Through the I last sixteenth or eighth of a mile In I every race that he ha* contested this ! year. Lord Herbert always has run ever his field, as the finish line neared, taking two leaps for every one of his rivals. * But his spurt always has been timed too late. Seven or eight times he has come from far back to finish second or third; upon other occasions lie has picked up 10 or 15 lengths in the last 200 yards and caused the form sheet writers to pen that “Lord Herbert finished fourth, running like a wild horse, and would have been a winner if the race had been 50 yards longer.” Those who bet on the veteran in that duel remember that remark about “if the race had been longer"— and the next time Lord Herbert starts in a race an eighth or sixteenth of a mile longer, they double their plunge on him. But always it’s the samo story. • "Fans "Down” on Him. “Lord Herbert, off poorly, trailed the field until the turn for home and then ran over the other horses at the finish, but couldn't catch the leader.” At times during the year' certain races seemed made to order for the old fellow. The distance was 11-8 or 1 1-4 miles—his favorites—ajid he dropped into competition with horses much slower I him ones lie was ac i customed to meeting. On the face of things it looked like a ‘'shoo-in" for Lord Herbert. . The public whioh had played Lord Herbert In vain in nil lii« previous races felt the same way about It. They fell for the “lure;” they doubled or tripled the size of bets they had been making on him, figuring thut here at last was the spot to make a killing. But always—always—it was the same old story—Lord Herbert didn’t win. The “Bookies Friend.” And so the bookm.'Vers have grown richer and richer—while those who have remained faithful to the most disappointing horse that runs today, have grown correspondingly poorer. Lord Herbert may win some day In the sweet bye and bye. But when he does, it’s likely that the price against hint will be something like 6 to 5 or 2 tp 1. For this Lord Herbert boss seems to be the friendliest friend the "book ies" have ever known—and he'll prob ably tip ’em off In advance as to his winning plans so that when he does time a spurt which isn’t too late, there won't bo much financial en richment for those players who have trusted in him, believed in him—and always found him to be nothing bill I "the bookmakers’ friend."

LIEB. Suppose anyone told you that Wil bert Robinson, the roley-poley man ager of the Dodgers, once stole 42 bases a season, would you believe it? But let’s get, this right. Robby, in his younger days, dashed around the bases faster than any other catcher in the game. In his first season as a big leaguer, Rojtby stole 42 bases for the old Athletics in 87 games, and he did it on a batting average of .20.1. How’s that for base running'.’ Uncle Robby did not always carry a half ton around with him, for in his younger days he was a lithe and lean man, and built for speed. Robinson was one of the really great catchers of the game, and a catcher, I who wore wonderfully well. In his early minor league days he caught the offerings of John K. Tener, later president of the National league, in Haverhill. He stuck 17 years os a big league catcher, and after Balti mure was dropped from the American league, he continued to catch for his home town, joining the forces of the Baltimore internationals. Bobby has not the battipg record)} to boast of that belong to some other subject of this series, but he was a steady, consistent thumper and climb ed above ..TOO four times. And ho has his record too. Bobby made two major league records on the same day in a game played June to, 189J, while a member of the Baltimore Nationals. Hobby hit safely seven times In seven official times at bat In the same game. His seven lilts drove in eleven runs, more than ever were socked across the plate in a single game by any other major league batsman. Hobby played his first big league gauie with the Philadelphia Athletics in a game played with the Metropoli tans of New York at Philadelphia on April 19, 1XSC. Hobby caught Ed Kennedy and made one of the three hits which the Mets gathered that day off the pitching of Ed Cushman.

In 1921 he won 16 and lost 23. but as the Macks finished last with 53 vic tories and 100 defeats, they did not have a pitcher who was above the .500 mark.

New York, Dec. 24.—(Special.)—It 1 the suggestion which will he made by I the American league magnates to th« I Joint rules committee is. approved the home run crop of next season and suecreding years will he smaller than those of the last few years. At theit meeting in the Belmont hotel th* club owners in Ban Johnson s circuit agreed that the public is tired of see ing only mediocre Iwitters drive out home runs day after day and so they put into action a movement that wil, eliminate the abnormal home run hit ting which has infested major league ball parks during the last two or three | years. The American league is going to suggest to the rules committee that the ' present laws regarding home runs be changed. It the suggestion meets with favor zones will Is? estub I lislied in the parks and a ball batted ' into one of the zones will net the bats | man a three-base hit, where under I ilie present system he receives credit for a home run. For example, under the present rules a batter who drives a ball inside 'the foul lines and into the right field stands at the Polo Grounds is credited with a home run in spite of the short distance the stands are from the home plate. I.iinit on Bases. If the plan suggested by the Amer ican league goes through part of the - right field grand stand at the Polo Grounds and sections of other parks will be turned into threelbase hit zones and a ball driven into these sec tions will limit the batter to three bases and not a home run. Under the present rules a fair bat ter ball that goes out of the park or into a stand entitled the batsman to a home run unless it should pass out of the park or into a stand at a less distance than 235 feet from the home plate. If the drive is less than that distance the batter is entitled to'only two bases. ^ Nearly All Parks Affected. In making known the plan to stan | dardlze home runs the American I league magnates did not say exactly 1 how much further than 235 feet a ball , must be driven in order to entitle the j batsman to a circuit wallop. Nearly all the tall parks will be affected by the change if it Is made. As A’atikeo Field, the Yankees’ new ! ball park, will have a short right field j the horpe run hitting will probably Increase next season unless a change i like tjie one suggested by the junior [ league is made. If the plan goes j through of course home run hitting | will he made more difficult, and sub I sequently the scoring of runs will be j less frequent than heretofore. Before the lively ball was introduc i ed into the game home runs meant i something and real good batters did | not •’collect very many of the circuit wallops. But since the lively hall has been in use players who did not know what it meant to get 10 home runs in one season have been knocking out 15 to 20 circuit drives each season. Two baggers and three-baggers have been frowned upon by the home run hun gry batters. Home runs have been so common that the fans no doubt will welcome a rule iRat will eliminate : many of them. . If the rules regarding home runs | are changed Babe Ruth’s record of driving out 59 four-baggers during the season of 19*1 will no doubt stand for | many a year. _ Stronger Eleven for Ohio State in 1923 .
