Herrmann's Long Tenure Elided 9 9. 9, 9, 9, 9. 9. 9. 9. 9, 9 9. 9, 9, Did Much to Help Diamond Game NKW YORK. Feb. $. LI. N. S.) Though Garry Herrmann's ' long tenure of office as chairman of the na tional baseball commission will come to an end in February he will still be a power in major league councils, for he 4 naa done much for the national game. Herrmann's advice has generally proven golden in times of stress in the big leagues. For T8 years he has been head of the triumvirate whose arbitrary powers were established when peace was made between the National and American leagues, and his regime has been harmonious for the most part. OWN LEAGUE PKOTESTH ' It was largely through Herrmann's efforts that the warring leagues were brought together at the peace table. It was Herrmann who drafted the national agreement, under which the'' big leagues operate today, and it was Herrmann who wrote into It the provision for the annua world's .series, which is the big best single sporting event in the United States each year. For the last year Herrmann's col leagues In the National league have opposed his continuance as chairman. It was this opposition that brought about his resignation. But though they were against Herrmann retaining the chairmanship the opposition went no further, for they have not forgotten the things he has done for the game. It would be impossible to study the his tory of baseball since the inception of the American league and fall to appre ciate the part Herrmann played In 'carrying out the duties of a most diffi cult post to handle. TROUBLE STARTED IX 1014 The first ripple of opposition against Herrmann occurred in 1914, when the famous Slsler case caulked such a row between the Pittsburg Pirates and St. Louis Browns. Branch Rickey, now of the Cardinals, obtained Slsler's signa ture to a contract with the Browns while coaching at Michigan university. Later Pittsburg claimed that Slsler had greed to report to the Pirates, and the fight was carried to the national com mission. Ban Johnson and Governor John K. Tener, then president of the National league, refused to vote on the case, as each had one of his own league clubs to consider, and the matter wan left entirely to Herrmann, who' decided it in favor of the Browns. This action in censed Barney Dreyfus, president of the Pirates, and he has never been friendly with Herrmann since that time. In fact. It Is claimed he worked incessant ly to unseat the Cincinnati man as chairman of the commission. PERRT CASE TOUCHY Another touchy case that caused Herrmann much embarrassment was the Scott Perry case, which involved the Philadelphia Athletics ariti the Bos ton Braves. This case was decided in favor of the Braves by Herrmann, but Connie Mack took it into court at Cleveland and got an injunction which permitted him to keep the player. This time Herrmann got in bad not only with Connie Mack but some other American league magnates, and the theory grew that it was advisable to replace him with somebody entirely disinterested in the game. Despite any attitude the dis appointed clubs took in the two cases, however, Herrmann's effort to be fair was never questioned by those on the outside. It was simply his connection with the Cincinnati club and his posi tion as a National leaguer that caused sentiment to crystal ixe among a ma jority of the club owners. WORK WELL BONE And now the major leagues must choose a man to fill Herrmann's shoes shoes that, when all is said and done, have been well filled. That the task may be a rather difficult one is easy to imagine,- particularly if each league should strongly favor a different candi date. And it must not be overlooked that In getting the right man for the place there must be absolute harmony between the two, for the average man of the caliber the big leaguers will seek to fill the office ' would very probably hesitate to accept the berth unless as sured that he would have the united support of the 16 clubs. In future councils. In which both leagues have planned to discuss prob lems at least once each year, Herr mann's voice will carry as much weight as it ever did. He will not have the mantle of commission chairmanship to clothe him with authority, but he hardly needs it Reed College Co-ed Hoop Squad Named An epoch in Reed athletics was marked with the announcement of ffce first women's varsity basketball team. Miss t)orothy Elliott, head of the girls' gym nasium, made public the following se lections for Reed's all-star basketball team which will meet O. A.

Farrell TVTEW YORK, Feb. 2 (U. P.) Amer---' ica, so to speak, is putting on the gloves. Millions of robust young Americans came out of the army confirmed "boxing fans. They boxed as a part of their fighting education. They saw boxing conducted on a high standard and they want to see more boxing. The United States is strong for the gloved sport, but the states individually are afraid of it. Only a few of the 48 are conscious of its elevation from a back-of-the-barroom orgy to sport ap pealing to the best in the highest type citizen. GAME -WEEDS REGULATION Boxing needs no recommendation as a builder of strength in body and char acter. What it needs, however, is regu lation. The state of New York, is now scratching Its head over the best way to regulate a spert that the entire state is saying "we must have." The boxing bills now before the leg islature are matters of concern not only for New York, but for every state that does not permit the sport, not only be cause New York is the pulse of the na tion, but because New York tried box ing once and ordered it out. The legis lature is about to consider its retrial and the outside States are waiting to see what it does. COMPETENT MEN .NEEDED If New York is to adopt boxing again and get the best out of it. the subject of supervision is of first and funda mental importance. Boxing is a lot like an automobile.' If it gets loose without a hand on the wheel it will create havoc and end in ruin. The guid ing hand of boxing should not be poli ticians, but competent, experienced men of hisrh standing In their respective com-tr.unitiAa. Women Golfer Plunges in Pond; Ball Wings Way Piaeknrst, N.
