American Team to Try for Inter

- BT WALTER CAMP.
(Copyright. 1921, by The Oregonian.)
NEW YORK. Jan. 15. (Special.)
America, weighed In the balance,
found herself during the war with
a mass of manhood "physically unfit"
fo active service. Out of her amaze
ment and chagrin has grown the
great movement of physical educa
tion which is sweeping away the old
conventional idea., of physical train
ing and has found legislative ex
pression In the Fess-Capper bill Just
placed before congress.
Although undoubtedly the United
States has blazed the trail for all
nations with her athletics, she was
content until the war came to fol
low the old. worn-out system of
physical exercise. The unfortunate
results were evident in the whole
sale rejections for physical Unfitness
In the draft. For years the youtn
of the country has rebelled against
standing in a gymnasium and strik
ing out into the empty air with one
hand after the other for 40 or 60
times, or gding through all sorts of
leg rigamarole. Young men natur
ally preferred to play out of doors
and what they preferred, experts
have at li st concluded was right.
I?od y Work Being Done.
Recognition of this fact is rapidly
spreading and ' what Is being done
in the way of calisthenics itself is
being done for the body, for the real
engine, and being done simply and
effectively.' No longer need the tired
business man feel that he must do
an hour or so of enforced and com
plicated calisthenics, or youth be put
through endless arm and leg drill.
Body work is being used almost ex
clusively for postural defects and
out-of-door play has been substituted
in a large measure for formal indoor
exercises.
BTLR GREGORY.
HOW Cincinnati ever hypnotized
the other big-league clubs into
waiving on Maurice Rath In the
deal whereby Seattle acquired Rath
in part payment for Sammy Bohne,
later selling him to San Francisco in
a cash transaction, is one of the mys
teries of baseball. Rath not only led
the National league second basemen
in fielding last season, but actually
hit better than such infielders as
Rabbit Maranville, Olson, Cutshaw
and Kopf.
Moreover. Rath is a smart ball
player.' When he played second base
for Salt Lake some years ago he used
to count the number of steps it took
each player in the league to run from
the plate to first base on a batted
ball. With each player's speed thus
catalogued, he knew exactly whether
he had to' hurrv a. throw to first or
i could take hi time. That shows how
carefully he studies the game.
The only reason Seattle let 'him go
tc San Francisco is that Manager
Kenworthy expects to be able to
maintain his last season"s lick at sec
ond base, and Rath is too good a
player to keep on the bench for util
ity purposes.
Sacramento ought to be a contend
er from the jump In the coast league
this season. Bill Rodgers got off to
a woozy start last year, but at the
end his club actually was playing
better ball than any other team in the
league, which is most unusual for a
tail-end outfit. It will bo remem
bered that Sacramento went so fast
toward the finish that it closed a big
gap and crowded Portland into the
cellar in the final week. Usually in
a season as long as that in the coast
league a team down at the bottom
near the finish is all through so far
as pep is concerned, which made the
Sacramento fighting spirit all the
more remarkable.
Bill Rodgers is angling with Eos
ton for Charley Pick to play third
base. Pick wants to come to the
coast. Like Rowdy Elliott, he can't
see the big show and would far
rather play on the coast. Sacramento
would have a corking infield with
Mollwltz on first, McGaffigan at sec
end. Orr at short and Pick covering
third. It also has a goor" catching

Lew Moreing of the Sacs also is
hot on the trail of Oscar Stanage,
the veteran Detroit catcher. Moreln
hiked east especially to get Stanage
as a running mate for Rowdy Elliott
but it looks as if Los Angeles has the
first call on him in part payment for
Johnny Bassler.
Old Truck Hannah also will be In a
coast uniform next year, in all like
lihood The New York Yanks finally
have asked for waivers on ,the big
fellow. Hannah isn't the fastest man
in the world on his feet, but he is a
i good catcher and he can bust' th
cational qualifications of a college
but not the football team.
"There should be men with a sense
of humor and a sense of proportion
in charge of iijtercollegiate football
men. for instance, of the type of
Big Bill Edwards, who know the
game and the undergraduate spirit,
and who also have rubbed shoulders
with life. They should preach that,
while football is the greatest of the
games, it is only a game, and merely
a part of college life not the whole
of it. Otherwise one of these days
there will be no Intercollegiate foot
ball games."
All that isn't limited to the east,
by any manner of means. Here in
the northwest over-enthusiasts in va
rious of the colleges are continually
crying that some other college is
"getting the best of It." Every sport
writer knows the old tune: "For
heaven's sake, just give us an even
break, can't you?" What they really
want is not an even break, but all
the best of it.

Now that Ty Cobb holds the reins of
the Detroit club, look for a change
from the time-honored scouting sys
tem whereby ivory hunters are sent
wandering all over the country in
search of baseball talent. Cobb has
expressed himself very forcibly
against this system. Some of the
rookies recommended by these scouts,
he says, have been pitiful, many of
them not even knowing the rudiments
of the game. His idea is for Detroit
to name one scout for each league

to follow this man s advice on players
