PLAN TOURNEY
T0 SELECT SOUTH
BALL CHAMPS
ATLANTA. Ga.. Feb. 28.—}Ieroic
efforts are about to be used to save
collegiate baseball from extinction in
the southern states.
A big collegiate
ment. with 30 teams
elimination series. the plan
ranged. All colleges have been
vited to meet here in March to
range the big series.
Dr. Thoranll Jacobs. president of
Oglethorpe College. is behind the
idea. It follows the lines of his suc-
cessful basketball tournaments.
"College baseball in the south is
doomed to pass out unless something
tourna-
the
ur-
in-
ar—

entc red in
is
is done." says Dr. Jacobs. ““‘ith
the professional season starting at
the time college seasons get under
way. public interest is shifted from
the campus. Teams rarely make ex-
penses on the road. and many have
abandoned trips altogether.
“Through a gigantic tournament.
with several games a. day. thousands
will attend. a. financial success will be
scored and the real southern college
championship will be found."

Track and field records are shat-
tcgeri nearly every year. until some
of the marks that were set a. quarter
of a century ago are equaled in high
school meets.
There is one track record. though.
that has stood the test of time. In
1898, Alvin Kraenzlein of the liniver-
sity of Pennsylvania negotiated the
ZSH-yard low hurdles in 23 3-5 see-
onds. The mark still stands.
A few meets have brought a 23 4—5
mark. and the 25-year-old record was
tied in 1913 by J. I. \Vendcli of “'03-
lcyan. But Kracnzlein‘s famous dash
over the low sticks still stands as
the greatest the World has ever seen.

Silent sympathy, instead of
"razzing" and jeers. is the custom
among the Japanese when an
athlete has a slip-up in fielding.
Even umpires are safe. big
leaguers who have been “base-

ing to this story as told to Billy
Evans of NEA Service—
‘ BY “'AITB HOYT
Pitcher for the New York Americans
and \Vorld Series Hero
The Japs are good sportsmen,
though. like Americans,
thrive on defeat.
“Hills the Japanese players are fast
learning the traits of the American
players. the Japanese fans are slow to
adopt the tactics of the American fan.
At present the Jap ball player is a
big idol in the eyes of the native fans.
They look up to him as a. sort of an
athletic god and accord real hero wor—

stead nf boots and jeers when some
Jap player fails in the field on a hard
chance, or strikes out in a pinch such
an act causes a. hushed silence on the

a way of extending their sympathy in
