This is the reason for the recent trading In which various club owners have tried to bolster their pitching staffs. Better pitching and a less lively ball -will be relied on to curb tBe excessive activities of Babe Ruths and other home run artists. There is a growing notion in base ball circles that something must be done to bring baseball back to where the team and not some Individual star la the attraction. It's all right, from a gate receipt angle, to have a Babe Ruth around the ok! ball park. But suppose for , some reason or other Babe doesn't perform? The attraction is gone. From a magnate' viewpoint It's better to have a whole team as a drawing card. Babe was all right for p-t. 1""0 llMM .710 j J;? ; a season or two. or perhaps three.

The "back to baseball movement has started. John McGraw says pitching has slumped In late years and that man agers must concentrate on develop ing curve ball pitchers of the Christy Mathewson type. John a'lso says with out hesitation that there never has been a second Mathewson. or any other pitcher who combined so many elements of greatness, since Matty's time. If he could develop another Mathewson, says John, other clubs may have the Babe Ruths. Speaking of Ruth, people are be ginning to wonder if Babe's suspen sion until along In the playing season is going to stick. It is a general opin ion that Ruth is victim of a sort of baseball peonage system and that there never was any right or fair ness in the rule under which Judge Landls deprived him of his world series money and his chance to start another assault on the home run rec ord next summer. The public's view of Babe Ruth and the Landia decision Is quite natural to Americans brought up on the idea that this Is a free country. Just why any ruling baseball body should as sume the right to govern the per sonal actions of baseball players after the ending of the baseball season and before spring training begins is a pusxle. And even if that right were conceded it would be difficult to ex plain why a rule should be made, pen alizing members of pennant winning teams by denying them liberty of action allowed other players. Baseball's reputat'on for fair play hasn't been enhanced by the harsh treatment accorded Babe Ruth. e Jack Kearra wasn't much excited over Billy Brady's offer of a J200.000 purse for a Dempsey-Wllls match, to be fought In England. For one thing Kearna remembers that Brady was one of the promoters of the Dempsey against a boxer fully as skillful, twice as strong, and fifteen pounds heavier. Jimmy Murphy, the American auto racer wno won the Grand Prix In France, la not enthusiastic over French sportsmanship. sThere was no money prise, but the Grand Prix gold medal always heretofore has been awarded the winner. Murnhv was J unable to get his medal after the race in wnicn ne lea ttaiph le Palma and all' others home by 15 minutes. At the Automobile club of France he was told the medal wasn't "available." Murphy returned to America. After arriving he was notified that the medal couldn't be sent to him De cause of the strict laws prohibiting exportation of gold, but that if he wisned be could .have the dies for warded, and get a gold medal struck off here at his own expense. e Bat Levlnsky's defeat by Gene Tun Jiey Is spoken of as "the passing of Levlnsky." and Tunney is Boosted as a coming champion. In plain fact Le vlnsky "passed" year ago being merely a fat. soft relic when he was knocked out by Carpentier. As for Tunney. he looks like a champion, but he'll have to do something more than beat poor old Levlnsky before he can be classed among the real battlers. July S last year Tunney made a rather second-rate showing in a pre liminary bout. He seemed then to lack aggressive fighting spirit the thing above all else that makes a champion.

' As for the $303,000 offer from Eng land for Dempsey s end In a return match for Carpentier, to be fought in England, that may be on the level Queer things happen In these times. But English promoters never have gone into the big money class, and aren't in the habit of putting up large sums for anything less than a gold mine with enough gold in sight to cover the Investment. Perhaps, considering Carpentler's great popularity In England, they think a championship bout with Car pentier as a chief figure would be a gold mine. It might be. But it's my opinion that the many capable Eng lish sporting writers and other know ing sportsmen who came to America filled with the belief that Carpentier would knock Dempsey out in a couple of rounds and saw what happened to Georges would tell the English public the truth. Carpentier would have just what he had in New Jersey a bare out side chance to win by getting home a dazing right-hand punch on the champion's chin. It would be a chance so slim as hardly to be worth a bet at odds of less than 5 to 1. Carpen tier ls a fine fellow and a remarkable fighter at his weight.

(Special.) Spring football practice will start the first week in March for the Aggie warriors, with prospects bright for a large turnout. Nine of last, year's lettermen will not be back in college next fall. Spring football has been very suc cessful in the past and last year Mickelwait, who made his letter on the line, was discovered in thfc spring turnout. The entire college will be combed for likely candidates by the coaching staff, while possibilities found in the wrestling, boxtng, tracK and general gym work have been in vited to report when the first call is made. All of the fundamentals of foot ball will be taken up, with regular scrimmage in uniform. Two or three teams will be made up to compete against each other, said Coach Rutherford. A team that will be In good condftion next fall is the aim of the coach. Tryouts for positions will be held and special training will be given those who will try for the line. Cantain-elect Locey has reported and is eagerly awaiting the time for scring training. Last year s fresh man eleven are expected out. and any new men who have entered college since the last football season. Compe tition for passing, kicking and tack ling will take part of the time dur ing the training period. A survey of all likely candidates scholastic standing is being made, as it Is the desire of the coaching de partment to have all athletes' aver ages above that of other students. Several football men who have de clared their intention of turning out for spring football are training now in the wrestling classes. Powell, Kasberger. Hughie Mc- Kenna, Heyden, Stewart, uroweii, Christianson, Summers and Daigh are the veteran men who will not be in the traces next falL Speed will be one of the most important factors worked for. said Coach Rutherford. The Aggies have only three open dates from the time they open the season in October until their last game. December s. ijeBioes me con ference schedule a post-season game with some mid-western eleven is ten tative. Whitman Wins at Basketball. WALLA WALLA, Wash., Feb. 12. Superior ability to shoot fouls gave Whitman college its second victory over the Universfly of Montana bas ketball quintet by a score of 18 to 17 here last night. Montana led in the first half, 10 to 6, but was unable to AGGIE NINE NEEDS HURLERS Veteran Catcher to Report to Minor Baseball League. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Feb. 12. (Special.) Nineteen recruits are trying out for the battery positions on the Aggie baseball team with Captain Bert Babb and Duffy as the only veterans from last year to take the burden of hurl ing and receiving. The fact that all but two of the men who are turning out are green material is causing Coach Rathbun considerable worsy. The loss of Hughie McKenna at shortstop will be a hard blow to the Aggies. Keene also, will be absent from the first-base position, and Whit Gill, veteran catcher, will re port to a Coast league team. New material will have to . be worked in to fill the places of Hub bard, Hartman, Miller and Hughes also. This leaves the baseball coach ing staff a considerable job. Of the new men who are working out now 15 are hurlers and six are catchers DEHTfiL WRESTLERS WIN FOLK OF SIX MATCHES TAKEN FROM X. M. C. A. t ruary 17 and 18 at Palo Alto.
