Bet. | Already the pair are.at it on the Pacific Coast. Hagen paired with Kirkwood are meeting Sarazen und Hutchinson at stated intervals—these four plavers now being on a tour of that section. One of the big surprises last year was the defeat of Hagen by Sarazen in a special match, labeled the world series of golf. Despite Sarazens’ victory in the U.S. open the general impression prevailed that Hagen Was a better money player. Sarazen beat Hagen after the British open, champion had gotten away to a flying start on Sar- Bzen’s home course. In the first four-ball match played on the coast, Hagen beat the best all of both his opponents, Sarazen and Hutchison.

In baseball the United States has always been supreme. Baseball is the national pastime and naturally uo other country boasts ball players nearly so pro- ficient. In the fight game our country also has a decided edge. With very few exceptions, the foreign champions to invade the United States have met with disaster. Baseball and boxing are peculiar to the United States, therefore it is to be expected that this country should reign supreme. In two other sports possessing an international flavor, tennis and golf, the United States has been making rapid strides. Were Supreme in Golf. Once vnon a time, not so many years ago at that, the British Isles held the golfing world in its few plavers compared with the ex- perts from over there. A similar condiiton tennis, with, Australia, and English possession, vieing ith the mother country for supremacy. How things have changed! Just at present the United States holds a whale of a hand in tennis and golf cireles—four kinds and a quegn—a mighty toach combination to beat. There is King Walter Hagen, who invaded foreign shores and won the British enen—the last word in golf existed in One of the gathered to- gether comprised the entry list. Gene Sarazen at Skokie captured the national open, the golfing classic competition over there. greatest” felda’ ever of the United States. The very cream of the golfing experts opposea Sarazen. Tilden Real Champion. In tennis, Bill ‘Tilden, in the Davis Cup matches, the world series of the court game, demonstrated beyond 1 doubt that he had an edge on th field. Tilden is the outstanding ten- nis player of the world. For the national amateur, staged at Brookline last year, Britain sent some of its best. Jesse Sweetser, collegian, showed the way inst the stiffest kind of competi- tion. Last, but not least, comes that re- markable young player, Miss Glenna Collett, who captured the women’s national event. In the finals, Miss Collett was opposed to Mrs. Gavin Platt, one of England's best. All the more interesting is the fact that America’s five champions—four in golf and one in tennis—are home- breds. Ohio State Shows Way To Big Ten In Intramural Athletics By NEA Service. y Columbus, Feb. 1.—“More students are participating in intramural ath- letics at Ohio State than at any other school of the Western Confer- ence,” savs Grant P. Ward, manager of intramural \athletics at the Buck- eye university and chairman of the Big Ten 'ntramural Association. “A total of 10,595 students were enrolled in the 18 branches of sport during, the school year of 1921-22, ys Ward. “A greater number. is indicated by the enrollments so far for the present year.” According to conference reports, the increase of participants amount- ing to 4.480 in 1921-22 over the fig- ures ‘of the preceding year repre- sents more than the total number of studentsin the intramural depart- ments of either the University of Il- linois or the University of Michigan in 1920-21. Michigan, with its 19 branches .f intramural sport, ranks néxt to Ohio in the size of .its de- partment. Tlinois ranks third. “One of the secrets for the success of ritramurals at Ohio State 1s that the system is based on groups in- stead. of ividuals,” asserts Ward, “More interest can be ‘stimulated among @rolip; than individuals” or even twas or threes. When pfce tle enthusiasm for competition is creat- ed, the department flourishes.’ Intramurals at Ohio State were officially taken’ over by the athletic department in’ 1913-14. Previously, such contests were carried on under the optional challenges of various student groups., In 1913 the school officials established leagues in six major sports and presented trophies to the winning organizations. Eight hundred end forty. students partici- pated that year, In 1914-15, two other sports were added and 1,353 students were enrolled. Since then the growth has been steady with unusual “progress during the yéars following the World War. In 191% 20 the number of sports was in- creased to’ nine and 3,613 students took part.. Three extra sports were added the next year and the enroll- ment jumned to 6,115. At the present time 18 branches of athletics are on the schedule and ofle more will be added -in the spring, according to officials.

An elastic band had been provided to retain the ball, Then the Indians separated and all dropped their arms their side as they raced down the field towatd the Harvard goal. The ‘Crimson players were unable to dope it out. Dillon ran the length of the field’ for a touchdown. The next year the rules commit- tee legislated against the hidden- ball trick.’ It no lomger has a place in the gridiron sport. “Such action has ‘several times been suggested relative to the hidden-ball trick in baseball, but no action has ever been taken to abolish it. The play being legal, Pinelli, who holds the championship on pulling the hidden ball, must be given due credit for the clever manner in which he pulls it. Pinelli, whp \played such a stat game at third for Cincinnati last year, was with Detroit when I saw him pull the trickiest play I ever saw. Washington was playing at De- troit.

D., Feb. 1—In a deter- mined effort to break the alleged ring of narcotic drug peddlers, whica is declared to exist in, the city, federal agents and Minot po- lice arrested a man and a woman on charges of violation of the Harrison | narcotic drug act. They are both held in jail today without’bonds and will be arraigned before a United States commissioner for preliminary hearing. Those arrested_are: Mrs. Lena Ming, 23, white, charged with viola- tion of the narcotic law and ob- structing’ a federal search warrant. Sam Kong, 62, charged with sale of narcotic drugs. Caught, In Police Net The two alleged peddlers of the drugs were caught in a clever net which the. federal authorities and police had anged. The ‘woman, whose home is at Kathryn. N.
