The difference was that in that year a base on balls was registered as a hit. This was because the rules committee was one of more or less unthinking fanatics the same kind of over-zealous enthusiasts, who bob up fronj time to time, attempting to change the rules of the game. Recording a base on balls as a base hit was Just as silly as giving a hit on a missed third strike or giving one because the batter was hit by a pitched ball.

It was not a test of the batter's striking ability. If there were demand for an average based on the number of times a batter reached first base, the base on balls might be worth while as a factor, but there is not. The rules should never be permitted to be changed except by men who have studied rules and their effect upon players and games. In 1920 impractical men who forced certain changes in the rules, not realizing what they were doing, drew the majors Into a mess from which they were forced to extricate themselves In mid-season by going back to the old rules.

18 Johnny Dun. dee, 30 year old veteran who participated in more than 500 ring battles, today sported two boxing titles. The first, the world's feather, weight championship which he won last summer from Eugene Crlqul of France; the second, the American junior lightweight championship he regained last night from Jack Bernstein of Vonkers, N. V. Dundee was awarded the judged' decision after 15 rounds of continuous but uninspiring milling in which the newspaper critics agreed he had been outfought.

The old timer was considerably off edge, entirely lacked his springiness, wag light in his punches, weak in his defense and did not respond to attacks with sustained forays as he did when in his prime. Bernstein was the aggressor al-most entirely during the first 11 rounds, but was Jabbed out of the lead in the 12th. Several times the defender staggered his victim with his harder blows but he was unpMe to avoid clinches In his follow-ups. He gave Dundee a severe body beating and brought blood from his nose and left ear. Bernstein was unuhle to ward off Dundee's sudden battering, that began in the 12th, until the later part of the 15th round.

That bout was the feature of a program for Christmas charity. In the semi-final Sammy Mandell of Rockford, 111., and Sid Terris of New York fought a 10-round draw, in the preceding bout Babe Herman, formerly of California, suffered broken rib in the eighth round and was forced to concede a technic knockout with only two more seg-scions to go and an accumulation of points big enough to guarantee the decision to him.

Special to Tht Ithaca Journal-NM. New York, Dec. 18. The 1923 batting record of Harry Heilmann of the Detroit American's has been computet! unofficially and probably will be set officially at .402. This puts him in a class which few players in his league have been able to reach.

The few rivals include Cobb, Sisler. Lajoie and wayward Joe Jackson. The figures also give Heilmann another claim to the baseball hall of fame, for they put him in the ranks of Immortals who have been able to bat above .300 for five consecutive years in the big leagues. In 1919 he batted in 1920, in 1921, 30i- in 199.9. nnrt fn 192.1 more than .400.

1 Heilmann did his most sensational batting, perhaps, in 1921. The first part of that season he was hitting at a .500 clip and the pitchers could not stop him. His batting was the moBt furious ever seen in either league. It was his habitual hitting on the Pacific Coast that earned him his place with the Tigers. Heilmann is not the only candidate this year for the American League's five-year lodge of big hitters.

The St. Louis club furnisheg three, and all of them outfielders Tobin. Jackson and Williams. Some stunt that for the entire outfit of one club to go up together, and it shows the batting power of that trio, although they cannot win St. Louis a pennant to save them.

Two other American Leaguers who are promoted to the five-year class are Pratt of Detroit and Rice of Wnshington. Hei'mann's .402 record for 1923 was legitimately earned. He batted! the ball to get it. Back in 1897. when 400 httprs Wnnml in morp or less Yale Crews to Meet Cornell and Princeton Oarsmen on May 17 New Haven, Dec.

IS. The financial report of the University of Pennsylvania Athletic Council for the aca demic year of 1922-23. made public last night, shows that during the first year pf the new stadium the receipts were almost double the total for 1921-22, the last year of the old field. The revenue for the first year of the stadium reached a total of with expenditures of the net profits were This amount was left after paying all the expenses of 19 teams which furnished supervised athletic competition for more than 4,000 athletes and recreation for as many more students, as well as paying ap proximately $75,000 carrying charges on the new stadium. These figures do not Include the football season just endd.

It is understood that the receipts this fall were considerably in excess of those for 1922. Only three of the 19 sports earned a profit. They wore football, track and basketball. Football, as has been the ca.se for many years, paid the deficits incurred in pearly all the other sports. The gridiron game earned a new profit of $183,263.50.

Track, due to the popularity of the Rflay Carnival, earned a profit of $3,724.53. Basketball, with receipts of $20,356.57. and expenditures of $19,691.90, finished with a balance of $694.61. the smallest profit this sport ha3 turned in for many j-ears. Colgate Ineligible Given Varsity Letter Hamilton, Dec.

IS. As a tribute to the spirit that Ray Burke, Ineligible halfback, has shown during the year in scouting, coaching and aiding Dick Harlow at Colgate in rounding into condition the Maroon team, the student body has voted to award Burke a letter in the sport. He will also be given a gold football with "Colgate 16, Syracuse 7" in scribed on it, and a Maroon sweater. One of the Mysteries.

Because of a change in the Christmas recess period the basketball came between the Cornell and Syra cuse quintets originally scheduled to be held Friday night at Syracuse win be held Saturday instead.

For Cor nell it will be the first game of the white the Salt City aggrega tion will already have played three contests. The Orange has lost to Clarkson Tech and has defeated St Eonaventure. The St. Lawrence uni versity five is scheduled to play at Syracuse tonight. Coach "Howie" Ortner of the Red and White five as not decided on the team which will face Syracuse.

Captain Capron has been used at both forward and guard in the practice sessions to date. Wedell is again playing a forward position. None of the other positions are a certainty and it is' unlikely that the Cornell team will be selected before Thursday or Friday. Ten players will make the trip and it is expected that all of them will be given an opportunity to get into the opening game. Waite, Rutgers: Welch, Detroit; West, Wilson, White, Va.

IS Conspicuous among Major league leaders entrenching for the 1924 campaign is Connie Mack, tall tutor of the Philadelphia Athletics. Within the past fortnight, Mack has startled the baseball firmament by purchasing three of the most sought-after players in the minor leagues.

For a cash consideration of about $100,000 and several players, the Athletics obtained Max Bishop, Baltimore second baseman, and two outfield stars, Paul Strand of Salt Lake City and Al. Simmons of Milwaukee. With this material Mack hopes to emerge from the American League depths in which his club has been submerged since he wrecked his famous champions after the 1914 season. Departing from his long established policy of developing players, Mack loosened his purse strings last season when he acquired among others. Sammy Hale, Pacific Coast star, for a reported $75,000.

So far, as a result of his new policy, he has spent probably close to in addition to the value of players exchanged in several deals. Last season, the Athletics spurted early in the campaign but injuries and other mishaps brought the team down, although it finished sixth, one notch higher than in 1922 and the highest since 1914. Difficult Schedule For Hobart Eleven Geneva, N. Dec. 18.

The most difficult schedule ever arranged for a Hobart College football team was announced today by Graduate Manager George A. Roberts. Before November 1st the Orange and Purple will meet three of the strongest teams in the East, Syracuse, Colgate and Lafayette, and the calibre of the remaining six teams on the card precludes the hope of any "soft spot" or a single day's rest.

One thing is certain if his gift comes from Brown Brown, good taste will be reflected in your choice and he will appreciate it all the more. 4 3 .5 1 'J h- i 13 i Two Cornell varsity football players, Captain George Pfann, quarterback, and Frank L. Sundrstrom, right tackle, are given places on Walter Camp's all-American eleven, published in the current issue of Collier's Weekly and released for publication in newspapers toda3'. The only other Cornellian to Te named is Charles Cassidy, fullback, who is given honorable mention.

Yale is also given two places on the first team while the other universities and colleges to be honored are Van-derbilt, Penn State, Michigan, Rutgers, Harvard, Illinois and Minnesota. In selecting his first eleven Mr. Camp says of Pfann and Sundstrom: In Milstead, the first of my tackles, Yale had a giant who had the catlike movements of the big ranther a man GEORGE PFANN'. big enough to be immovable in the smother of interference, and yet with extraordinary speed, not only down the field, but in interference, and a man whose value was so recognized that two and sometimes three men were played against him by the opponents. With 210 pounds of weight, a big chest nd neck, the thin flank of the fast man and with all the vitality and agility that go with these attributes, he is a demon on defense and a tremendous power on attack.

Selecting a mate for Milstead 13 a difficult Job, but, fortunately, we have in Sundstrom of Cornell a man who stands head and shoulders above com petitors. Powerful, aggressive, and schooled in that modern province of the game, the sweep interference which calls for extraordinary speed and acu Jneu in a tackle, Sundstrom has been the keystone of the Cornell line in year when that team has simply over powered and swept down to defeat all opposition. He is broad and heavy.but fast. He is a stalwart on defense, in addition to all bis powers on attack, And he has endurance. So with these four ends and tackles, the wings of the All-American Team are filled for modern play.

The quarterback position goes to Pfann of Cornell because lie is as good a field general as there is on the gridiron, with a thorough knowledge of the weapons he has to use. and an abil ity to seek out the weak places in the opposing team. Then, in addition to this, he is available as, a runner of the highest quality. He is one of the cleverest receivers of the forward pass we have ever seen. 5 True, there are theorists who believe that the quarterback should be only general, and the other ten men should play the game, but when a coach can find a general like Pfann.

to whon the mere fact of doing sterling w-ork in Other departments of the game is -incidental, he has the ideal combina tion. Plann has the necessary sturdi-ness, as well as brain, to do both jobs. The three elevens selected by the reteran football critic and the players who received honorable mention follow: First lleTon End Bomar, Vanderbilt Tackle Yale Guard Hubbard, Harvard Center Blott, Michigan Guard Betenk, Tenn State Tackle Sundstrom, Cornell End Hazel, Rutgers Quarter Pfann, Cornell Halfback Grange, Illinois Halfback Martineau, Minnesota fullback Mallory, Yale Second Eleven End Syracuse Tackle Weiderquist, W.
