St. Louis had a margin of a half game at the top as a result of their crush- ing defeat of Washington 15 to 2, while Detroit greeted Waite Hoyt with a fusilade of hits and humbled the Yan- kes 9 to 4, for the third straight time.

GEERS, OLDEST DRIVER ON THE GRAND CIRCUIT Hale and: Hearty and 71 Years Old, He Still Trains His Own Horses NEW STABLE THIS YEAR Cleveland,- June 17,—Ed (“Pop”) Geers, the ‘and Old Man of the ‘Harness Turf,” has’ reached North Randall from his Memphis training quarters to put on the finishing touches for the 1922 Grand Circuit campaign which begins at North Ran- dall July 3. Aged 71, Geets is the old- est driver on the Grand Circuit. Hale and hearty he also trains his own horses. : “Pop” has virtually a new stable this year, all but two being trotters. ‘Familiar to Grand Circuit fans are his Sanardo, ‘Peter June and Utah. Peter June, with a mark of 2:04°1-4, is his leading trotter. Geers declared he expects to be seen on ‘the Grand Circuit at least ten more years, The arrival of his stable brings the total horses now at Randall up to 470. The stables of Walter Cox, Lon McDonald and several other prom- inent drivert: are still to come. ~ (Many of the famous Grand Circuit reinsmen. already are here, having arrived preceding the opening of the 1922 harness season which was ush- ered in in the Greater Cleveland dis- trict with the meeting at-the North Randall half-mile track June 5. Among stables quartered here now are those of Johnny Thomas, Charley Valentine; Dick McMahon, Fred Ed- man, Fred Egan, Sep. Palin, Ben Whitehead, Tommy. Berry, Fred Guy- ette, Frank Phillips, Nat Ray, Harry Stokes, Marvin Childs, Will Squire, Will Rosemire and Wil Caton.. The latter two are handling the Pastime stable, Caton having recently return- ed from Russia. That the horses are in exceptionally fine condition for this time of the year is-indicated by races on the San- dusky track, which just ended. Be- fore the first of June, Lenora Watts of the North Carolina stable of R. B. Plaxico. had beaten the 2:10 mark. She was pressed by lyde the Great driven by Clyde Limiline of Louis- Wille, Ky. 4 CONFERENE TRAGK MEETS SCHEDULED Track Will Be Featured Sport of The North Central Inter- Collegiate Conference Fargo, N. D., June 17.—Track will be the featured sport of ‘the North Central Intercollegiate Conference, according to the tentative plans for the organization made at the recent meeting at Brook- ings. This does not mean that the other athletic interests will be slighted, but the formation of the.conférence just at the time when track interests in the United States is at its highest pitch, has resulted in additional attention be- ing directed to that sport. Four conference track meets are on the tentative schedule for the coming year. The first is a cross country meet at Morningside college, Sioux City, on November 11th. This will be followed by an indoor meet at St. Thomas col- lege, on Feb. 24, which will be ‘an in- vitation affair, probably open to all schools that desire to attend. The next mect will be the strictly conference meet at Creighton university in Omaha, some time in March while the outdoor meet will be held at Morningside col- lege ‘on May 26. The interest of the two North Dakota members, it is estimated by athletic en- thusiasts here, will be in the fall cross country ruuns. While the schools have never entered into vnis line of sport, the difference of the season, which makes it almost impossible to get a team in condition for the early spring meets acts ‘in favor of the Northern teams, While the Nebraska and_ Towa members, because of the heat will find training a bad proposition before the end of September and possibly for somo time in October, the Dakota teams will be able to take to intensive training with the opening of the school year. The Dakota and other northern teams should have at least two months of good train- ing, while the southern teams, because of the usual heat of the first school days are nat likely to get more than a month, Practically none of the schools of the new association have specialized in the harriers event. Morningside has held an annual Monument run late in the fall, and has done considerable cross country work in the training of its dis- tance runners, Des Moines university has had some training, but it has been intermittend, and the other schools, the University, of North Dakota, North Da~ Kota Agricultural .college, South Dakota university and Squth Dakota State ‘col- lege.
