That Are Suggested by Chick Evans, Expert. ' Define the status of a substi player who enters the game 3s pinch hitter or fielder without informing the umpite' of the subst tution. A clause which makes getting on {the rubber by the pitc without { the ball in his possess a balk, A rule that does justice to the | batter who hits a ball over the fence {or into the stands, in the final or extra inning, and yet fails to get { credit because the run of some play-§ er on thg hases decides the game. A clause that will prevent disputes that now arise as to status of a run- Ler who scores a run when a preced- ing runner has failed to touch a base on his way to thé plate. When tha infield is drawn in for a | play at the plate, and the batter hits {a ball that gets by the first line of | defense, uo further play being pos- | sible by any member of the infield, | such a ball should be considered in | play if it comes into contact with | the person ¢f the umpire back of the Linfield. ; { When a batter hits a ball that is | fair when It passes over the fence j or into a stand, it should be consid- ered a fair ball. All jurisdiction over | it- should end when it passes .out | of the playing field, instead of com- | pelling the umpire to watch its { course until it disappears. y With first and second base, or first | second and third base occupied an; ! lil Hil of a fresh pattempt to bunt a ball that goes fair should not be regarded as an infield iy, though the attempt reslits in a dy ball that goes to the infield. Define just what the phrase "held he ball" means, in connection with play in which an infielder touches & Dase runner. Clarify the rule that governs the coacher at third base, so that the rule will have no application on any ball hit out of playing territory, which realy renders a play on the base runner impossible. A batsman shuld be considered 2+ having {llegall® batted a ball only when he hits the ball with both feet outside the .lines of the batter's box. Determine the best penalty to in- flict when a catcher interferes with a batsman. . + A rule that will clearly state that a base runner who holds his base shall have the right t6 advance the moment a fly ball strikes the hands of a fielder. Lipton's Challenge. Definite announcement of the ac- ceptance or rejection of Sir Thomas Lipton's challengé for the American Cup, the racing classic of the yacht- ing world, will be'made at a meeting of the New York Yacht Club on Ja- nary 15. The committee in charge of the challenge announced at the annual meeting that negotiations with the Royal Ulster Yacht Club for the proposed race were progressing satisfactorily. J. P.

Dempsey made his debut at the Robert Brunton stddios in Los Ange- | les a few days ago,~and began work | on a serial which is to run for 15] episodes entitled "Dead and Alive." Dempsey in his motiom picture role is cast as a sturdy young athlete who is working his way throtigh an eas- tern cdllege. The action begins inthe college town and is carried to the western country. ~ > Public Wants Carpentier to Win. Georges Carpentier will at least meet with this pleasant experience when he meets Dempsey-- whether the battle is in America, France or England he will find the bulk of the crowd pulling for him to win. A re- cord of five years in uniform against a4 record of no minute in uniform where both men were slightly over twenty doesn't admit of debate, This friendliness of the crowd will help the temperamental Frenchman, but it won't affect Dempsey, who, at the age of twenty-two, in 1917, when war was declared, proved weil en- ough the amazing thickness of his hide. e Once Was Enough. The Vancouver ily Province says:--""The National Hockey Asso- ciation will not declare war on the Pacific Coast Hockey Association. The St. Patrick's officials hoped for such a declaration at last Saturday's meeting, but having in mind what happened when the leagues went to WAr a few years ago, the represen: tatives of the remaining Eastern clubs decided there should be no break. On that occasion one ledgue was shaken to its very foundations, and the organization was not the one Christmas Is Coming - ~ 'ROBT. J.
