Clam-Diggers Loafed On Job
of Beating Them-Great
Crowd at Auto Races
SeaMo, Wash., April 8. Defeated,
luit offering no excuses, the Stanford
University crew started for Palo Alto
today while thousands of University of
Washington students cheered them for
the game race, they owed on Lake
Washington late yesterday.
Beaten from the start, Stanford 's
eight fought their way over the three
mile course losing at every stroke. Witi
Washington several lengths ahead and
steadily gaining with n powerful, machine-like
pull, the cardinal veterans
never failed to respond to Coxswain
Lyon's appeal for more speed. Stan
ford crossed the finish lino 31 seconds
behind.
Because of its victory over Washing
ton last year and its sensational show
ing at Poughkeepsie, the Stanford
crew was a favorite before the regatta.
Its chances went glimmering and the
bottom fell out of its stock, however,
in the first quarter mile. Washington's
crew was obviously so superior that the
Seatil'i eight actually loafed after i
had established an unbeatable lead, loi
tering along at a stroke of 30. Stan
ford spnnked the water at 32 in a series
of desperate, heartbreaking spurts, al',
of which failed. As the fi-iish nenred
the southerners' oars wobbled and
splashed, three men drooped in their
seats, utterly exhausted while fiv
lengths ahead the sun glinted on eight
white tipped blades steadily cutting in
to the water with only smoothness.
The time was: Washington, 17.0(1:
Stanford, 17.37. The record for Lake
Washington is 10.23.
In spite of Washington's victory,
which makes dopesters believe the Se
attle crew could outdistance anything
the east has to offer, the faculty will
not let the eight invade foreign terri
tory this year.
TJ. of 0. Team Defeated.
Missoula, Mont., April 8 The defeat
ed University of Oregon debating team
left for Eugene today, still unconvinced
on the subject of naval preparedness.
A unanimous vcridct was awarded to
the University of -Montana debaters last
night after an argument on the advisa
bility of naval expansion in the United
States. Montana too the negative.
The Pitching Records of a
The value of pitching to a team has
been variously estimated as from 10 to
70 per cent of its defensive strength.
Whatever it may be, there is no ques
tion that the twirler is the most val
uable man of the nine, and usually the
one who looms largest in the public
eye.
From the days of Aristotle to those
of Charley Van Loan, figures were con
sidered impeccable, and even yet some
benighted business man drools forth the
bromide that "figures never lie." They
do in baseball, though. No one believes
that fielding averages nearly approxi
mate the fielder's skill, and even bat
ting averages are deceiving. But the
following statistics really tell a true
story.
A pitcher may win 20 games in a sea
son because he has an extraordinarily
strong team behind him, nnd because
his opponents were hand picked for the
laughter. Over a term of years, how
ever, this would not hold true, and '
will be. noticed thnt the greatest" pitch
ers in the gamo monopolize the glory ii
the records of the past decade.

Grudge Match Was Tame.
Portland. Ore.. April 8. Wrestling
J fans were somewhat disappointed today
'at the outcome of the alleged "grudge
jmntch" between Frank Vancj of Seat
tle and Eddie O'Connell of Portland,
last night. The atMitr wm called a
draw, although Vance clearly tiad the
best of the milling.
After one hour and 47 minutes of
grappling, Vance secured a toe hold on
his smaller opponent and R.'feroe Mike
Butler awarded him the first fall over
tho protest of O'Connell, who said
Vance couldn't hurt him with the hold.
Again they wrestled for minutes,
then it was midnight, and they 'uit in
accordance with a previous agreement.
Gunboat Smith Done.
Tulsa, Okla., April 8. The extent to
which (iunboat Smith, once formibadle
glove battler, has slipped was revealed
today when fight fans reflected on the
fact that even Carl Morris, tho Sapulpa
giant gained a decision over him in a
10-ronnd bout last night. Smith was
badly punished.
Welsh Has Speed.
Milwaukee, Wis., April 8. Freddie
Welsh's speed is all there, in the opir-
ion of fans who unw him gain a decision
over Ritchie Mitchell in a 10-round bout i
here last night. The champion pounded
Mitchell's stomach badly but could not
reach his jaw.
Turn Out to See Corbett.
San Francisco, April 8. Joe Corbel t
will make his Coast league debut for
l'.Mti tomorrow morning when the Seals
and Portland meet at Oakland. A large
number of fans is expected to turn out
to see the veteran perform.
Darkies Drubbed Se.attl?.
Seattle, Wash., April 8. It can't be
said that the Seattle Giants ire in mid
season form. The locals took an 1 1 to 3
drubbing yesterday from Rube. Foster's
Chicago darkies. "Bab" Moneymaker,
recruit catcher for Seattle

Charley JSchmutz, former Vancouver,

"Anything between 00 and 100 miles
an hour," was the general prediction
for the final avernge speed. Hughie
Hughes has hurtled his 12-cylinde.r Sun
beam around the circle faster than 100
miles an hour. Practically every en

"You sav." writes a rabid non-com

SEN! EACH OFFICIAL
Basic Principles Governing
Determination of Important
Point Given Out Officially
Now York, April 8. The pitcher al
ways has been the dominant factor in a
baseball game. More rules govern his
work and prescribe how it shall be
performed than handicap or enhance
the efforts of the other eight players.
I he baseball public, even that part
of it which is usually well informed in
the rules, never has thoroughly under
stood tho rules for determining the
rung earned off pitchers and the basic
rules and principles governing the de
termining of names won and lost
where two or more pitchers participate
for the same team in the same game.
These rules are the result of years of
experience and are considered as near
perfect as expert baseball knowleilg
can devise.
John A. ITeydler, secretary of the
National league, will send this week
to each official scorer of the league
copy of the rules, to determine the
perplexing questions arising under
these two heads. These rules are or-;
warded annually to the official scorers, !
vet there are frequent iliciepancies in
. . . -i.-'- .i i ... in... 1
me niierpreiaiioii or. murines, x uc ;
rules follow
Determining Games Won and Lost.
While it is not. possible to make
hard and fast rules for determining
which pitcher should be credited with
winning, or charged with the loss of
a game, yet there are certain funda
mental rules in arriving at a decision
which have stood the test of criticism,
and which are lis follows:
1. When one pitcher is relieved by
another, with runners on bases, charge
up all such runners, in case they score,
to the first pitcher. The relieving
uitcher. coming into the game "cold"
and possibly in the midst of a battingl
rally, cannot lie neicl responsiiiif
tor
rnnneis lie fun y linn on inc oases;
should he be charged up with the first
batsman he faces reaching first if such
batsman had any advantage because of
the wild pitching of the first pitcher.
2. Where the relieving pitcher goes
ill Wltll IllO score lie ou i-en
he must, win or lose the game, regn
ro-
less of the number of innings, or how
effectively- the first pitcher may have
pitched. If the first pitcher is relieved
with the score in his favor, and Inter
the score is tied up off the second
pitcher, then the hitter wins or loses.
A tie game at any stnge (with no one
on bases) must be considered to all in
tents and purposes as the start of a
new game for the second pitcher.
:i. Where the first pitcher is retired
after pitching, say, seven innings, he Ts
entitled to the benefit of all runs scored
by his sid in an equal number of in
nings. For instance, Brown, of the
home club, has pitched seven innings,
with the score 2 to 0 against him. Hi
is taken out, when his turn at bat comes
in the seventh. Before the close of
that inning his team has scored two
runs. Brown retires with the game a
tie and the next pitcher becomes
responsible.
Credit for Game Won.
4. Do not give the first pitcher the
credit for a game won, even it score is
in his favor, unless he has pitched at
least the first half of the game. A
pitcher retired at close of fourth in
ning, with the score 2 to 1 in his favor,
has not won a game. If. however, he
is taken out. beecause his team having
secured a commanding ami winning
in a few innings, ho is then en
titled to the win. The good judgment
of the senref must determine in such
leases, ns much depends ou whether the
.pitcher is relieved because of ineffec-
jtivenoss, or because he has inland-
ing lead, or because it becomes neces
Isary at a critical stage to replace linn
t K '(, atronoer batsman.
5. Ifegardless of how many iunints
the' first pitcher may have pitched, he
is charged with the loss of the game,
if he is retired with the score ngfiinst
him, nnd his team is unable thereafter
either to tie or overcome that lend.
No attempt has been made in tne
foregoing to cover all of the many
situations that, present themselves to
the scorer in games where pitchers arc
changed. In isolated eases the applica-
lion of these rules may work hardships
to one pitcher or the other; but on the
season's play, coupled with your good
judgment, results following observance
of these rules should prove as satis-
factory as thev have for years past.
The following rules mid suggestions
are submitted for your guidance in
determining runs earned off the pitch
er:
Rule.
An earned run shall be scored every
time the player reaches home (before
fielding chances have been offered to
retire the side) by the uid of;
1. Hne hits.
2. Sacrifice hits.
3. Stolen bases.
4. Kases on bulls.
5. Hit batsmen.
0. Wild pitches.
7. Itnlks.
The intent of the rule is ti include
under the heading of tarred runs all
the factors thnt produce runs for which
the pitcher is chiefly i sponsible.
I'se your bct judgment where dif
ferences of opinion arise regarding
earned runs, particularly when one
uitcher wilistitutes for another. Give
the pitcher tho beni-.ni of th doalt
ou fielding errors and in determining
tho base to which, a runner should
have been held with perfect support on
part of fielders.
Charging of Errors.
An error made by pitcher is the
same as though made by any other
fielder, and should not be charged
against the pitcher's earned run recoi'
No run can be earned that scores as
result of b'ltsman having rearnec'
ed first j
on a fielding error or a passed ball
No run can be earned after the
fielding side has missed a chaneo or
chances to retire the side.
Following are examples, presuming
thnt perfect play has preceded the
plays outlined:
Before two are out runners on third
and first; outfielder drops fly ball, but.
recovers and forces mini at second, the
run scoring on play. Do not score run
as earned on that particular play if the
fielder had an easy throw to head off
run at plate.
Before two are out Smith base on
balls; would have been forced out at
second but. for error on Krowu's
grounder to short; Wilson triples.
Only Brown's run earned, as Smith
should have been out.
None not Smith hit by pitcher; to
second on an out; to third on wild
pitch. Scores ou another out. Earned
run.
Before two out Smith singles; steals
second; should have been out. at. third
but for an error. Brown hits home run.
alonlv last run earned
Smith first on balls: second on
p,,.mvil being hit; two more bases on
,jis force' Smith home. F.atiied run.
.mo out Smith singles; Brown
,.,,.1;fi,.,i. Smith scores
'
when third
,nsimiH makes error
on Wilson's
grounder; Green doubles. Ninth s Tun
becomes an earned rim, as he would
have scored from second on hit with
out help of the error.
In cases where runner advances as
result of poor judgment by fielder, but
where no actual fielding error is made,
the same must be scored as perfect
plav. Krrors and passed balls can be
construed only as designated in sections
and 10 respectively of scoring rule S.".
In case of doubt as to scoring of an
earned run, please refer to headquarters,
givini' outline of the play.

Bands Scattered, Army
Will Be Withdrawn
By Carl D. Groat.
(United Press staff correspondent
Washington, April 8. The I'liife-I
States will regard its mission in Mexico
as completed when the de Licto gov1
eminent is able to relieve tho American
expedition in its undertaken task, .'
when "Villa's baud or bands are bred
en up." This became Known today
from the original orders wliici the win
department gave Major General Fred
Funston.
Aiiked whether a time limi had beet
placed ou tho American expedition','
operations in Mexico, the war dopnil
iiient today replied by revealing its
filial orders given Major Gm'-ial fro.4
Funston at the beginning of the cam
paign, March 10.
In substance, they directed Funston
to "organize an adequate force under
Brigadier General John J. Pershing and
instruct him to go neros-s the bonier io
I pursuit of Yillistas who raided Colum
bus. Hie troops will be withdrawn i
American territory as soon as the tl
facto government is able to relievo
them of their work. In any event, jhe'r
work will be regarded us finished whet
Villa's bund or bauds are broken up."
Army men said the hunt, must still fpv

it is necessary for Americans to .iinsrt
Villa to the end of Mexico. His trail
is clear, although he appears to be iniluji
chead. Tf he is heading for Turret. n, in
reported, General Trovino will cnnfririt,
him there. Eventually, the iron ring
ot American riders is expected to over
take and annihilate him.
Publication of the war department '
original orders when border report's said
Cnrranzu might request withdrawal of
American troops was interpreted h.y
many as moaning that the ndiuinistrn
tion was preparing to grant this rc-
quest.
It is ldnin that, according to the bin
