The National Collegiate Athletic as
sociatlon has undertaken to revise the
rules which govern record breaking
in swimming. All codes devised for
the purpose so far fall short of re
qulrements and it is the aim if the
collegiate solons to try to bring about
the general adoption of fairer and
more adequate laws
The greatest fault to be found with
both the international and American
systems In use is that they take no
account whatever of the advantage
Some objection has been raised to (1)
the foot fault rule, (2) the new scor,
Ing system, and (3) the handicapping
6stem, which goes with it.
The only objection to the new foot
fault rule was that in its proposed
form it might permit a man tq serve
on the run. Players of the experience
of Beals Wright and Dick Williams
think this is a doubtful advantage.
even -in the remote contingency that
a man might make use of It- To meet
every possible objection, however, a
revision of its proposal has been
made by the committee, which will
absolutely prevent such a running
start. The text of the rule as now
agreed upon by the committee is:

The Oakland team seems strong for
the veterans this year, as Indicated by
the signing of Roily Zeider and Blll'v
Purtell. Both have been in the game
many years, and formerly played on
tne coast
Regardless of men whom Klllefer
may secure in the east it is regarded
as probable that Karl Crandall will
be retained on the Angel pay roll
Crandall s chief value to a club Is
that of a utility player and pinch
hitter, and as such he adds a lot of
reserve strength. He had the worst
season of his career last year, but
this Is believed to have been only
a temporary lapse.
Only a few weeks ago Jack Four;
nler, the frenzied Frenchman of the
Los Angeles club, a'ndi Jim Scott Seals'
pitcher, opened an office, in Los An
geles to sell oil, and announced to
the wide, wide world that they were
all through with baseball, unless they
could play with Seattle. Just the
other day. Red Klllefer. manager of
the Angels, got a letter from Four
nier, stating that when he reported
to the Angeles next March he would
bring with him -a nifty young catcher
who would -make a distinct hit In the
Coast league. That's how much Jac
ques Is thinking about quitting the
grand old game. Tou would have to
shackle him and put an Oregon boot
on him to keep him out of the game,
for he is one baby who really likes to
play.
So, Instead of losing the hard-hit
ting first baseman, the Los Angeles
club will pick up a likely young
catcher, just because Jacques does not
forget baseball even In the winter
time. Johnny Powers never thought
for a minute that Jacques was on the
square with his talk of retirement.

were passed on to the Chlrago staff.
Eddie Cirotte worked the opening
contest. Eddie Is a close student of
the pitching game. He works on
every batter. When you make a ba.
hit on Cicotte you earn it Eddie,
after following the advice of Cleve
land pitchers, worked low and out

had been hitting them a mile to right
field. Of course, that was impossible
the wsy Cicotte was pitching. How
ever, In three chances against Clcnitn
he rattled three doubles off the left
field wall.
Someone told Fred Coumbe once
that Ruth couldn't hit a slow floater

year Coumbe was called cn In a Dinrh

me to watch the way pitchers have
worked on Babe Ruth the last two
years, or since he acquired the rep

Three or four years ago Ruth got
little or no consideration from pitchers.
He was known as a wild swinger.
whose favorite specialty was to strike
out Then "Babe" became famous
over night, began to establish records
for home run clouts, and became the
common enemy of the pitchers.
There is Jim Bagby of the Cleve

I makes trouble for Ruth. In a series

the Cleveland pitchers. Despite his
care in working on Ruth. Babe, after
failing four straight times, got hold

it for three bases, and broke up the

the victim of a home run clout the

had suffered equally. The Cleveland
pitchers had. been pitching low and
