EW YORK, April 1—One of the best pitchers of an important eastern university nine has been debarred from representing his alma mater on the diamond because of the discovery that last summer he received money for pitching in the resort circuit. Word to this effect came out of New England today in reply to a query as to why this hurler had not appeared in games played to date. Thus arises again the sinister summer base ball specter. So far as this pitcher is con- cerned, he is entitled to no special sympathy. He knew what he was doing, and took a chance. At the same time we may appre- ciate the unenviable emotions which fill this pitcher when he thinks of the college ball players who last summer sold their services just as he did and yet—their guilt undiscovered —are playing ball on various under- graduate teams. The evil of summer ball was never so alarming in its proportions as it was last summer. College base ball drips with it. Wait Instead of Acting. If college faculty committees are really anxious to extirpate this con- dition, why do they not begin an investigation with a view to general reform, instead of sitting back and acting only when one poor devil, out of many no better than he, is caught? Let them, for instance, investigate the career of summer leagues in moun- tains not so far from New York, with a view to ascertaining whether one lone college ball player was in 1920 the sole exponent of mercenary base and George Duncan, the younger pair of British pros, who are to arrive here in_July. i Duncan and Mitchell, by the way, will run up against Jock Hutchinson and Jim Barnes in their first American en- | gagement, which will take place at Pel- ham, N. Y., July 11. Next day it is hoped that Bobby Jones and Chick Evans will take them on over the same course. Then the pair will work their way _through Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington to Chicago. (Copyrizht, 1921.) CHESS GAME GOES OVER Lasker and Capablanca to Kesume Sixth Contest Tonight With 38th Move. HAVANA, April 1.—Thirty-seven moves of the sixth game between Jose Capablanca and Dr. Emanuel Lasker, who are playing a series of twenty-four games for the chess championship of the world, had been made when the masters adjourned at 1 o'clock this morning. Dr. Lasker, having tasted defeat in the fifth game on Wednesday night, played very carefully after the stereo- typed opening moves, at the same time advancing his king. When adjournment was taken Capa- blanca had one of his rooks in a rather commanding _position, but it did not appear that he had gained any material advantage over his opponent. Lasker had the whites and opened the game with a ruy lopez. The first ight moves were made in rapid time. When Lasker was called upon to make his_fifteenth he required forty minues to make his decision, while Capablanca devoted twenty minutes to his own six- teenth. After twenty-four moves it seemed that the positions would become blocked, but after a few additional moves a block was obviated. BOWLERS SCORE POORLY IN NEWSPAPER TOURNEY Scoring was poor yesterday in the fifth round of the newspaper indi- vidual duckpin championship tour- nament, only three of the eight bowlers who performed on the Rec- reation drives getting sets of more than 300. Walter Collier of the Bul- letin led the field with three games totaling 336 and Johnny Baum of The Star gathered 320, but neither of them advanced to the sixth round being bowled this afternoon. Roy Kluge of The Star made 329 to re- main in the race. Fifth-round scores and tourney totals of the survivors follow: Dave McCarty (Star), 287—1,629: Bubbles Cahoon (Times), 300—1.609; 329—1,60: Jake Cromwell 283—1,597. Bowlers eliminated ye: lerd:y and their round and tourna- nt counts were: Callier, . 336— m ;“Baum. 320—1587; Jimmy Boyd (Times), 285—1,564, and Clarkson Gemmill (Post), 296—1,562. A. B. C.

Either the rule against playing sum- mer base ball for money should be upheld through measures designed to catch college stars who use their pro- ney as a means of adding to their bank accounts, or else it should be abrogated. At the present time the effectiveness of the stipulation rests almost entirely upon the willingness of some one to tell tales upon a com- rade or to double-cross a friend, and a process of this sort is worse than the original fault. There are many estimable persons, indeed, who believe that the summer ball rule is unjust, inasmuch as it pre- vents—or is supposed to prevent—a boy who is working his way through college, as many ball players ar from earning sorely needed mone; They maintain, also, that it has no effect other than converting a lot of otherwise decent young fellows into Yiars and tricksters. There is merit in thé&se contentions; on the other hand, interpretation of spinie of amateurim would seem to the rule. < Amerfcan Athletes Abroad. Four American college athietes have been represented in important Eng- lish intercollegiate meets in_the past fortnight. Trowbridge of Princeton and Nees of Nebraska were members of the Oxford track team in the dual meet _against Cambridge; F. B. Lothrop, who rowed in the Harvard crew last year, occupied the No. 4 Position in the Oxford eight which on W y was_defeated by Cam- bridge, while J. H. Douglas, formerly a Prinoeton student, played on the Cambridge team in the recent golf meet with Oxford at Hoylake. ‘Will Evans Go Abroad? From Chicago comes word that de- spite reports that Chick Evans had decided-“to go abroad on May 4 to compets in the British amateur cham- plonship he has not as yet been able to &rrange his business interests in suoh = Way as to enable him posi- tivel¥ 'to count ypon going. He hopes o be able to make it, and will try to this end. A golf fan writes that if the star does go it will be under vastly different cir- cumstances the a than last time he crossed the pond. 2 the fans say. but, as a of Sact, the last .ti was in 1914, when he ="d‘~n Sandwich. And he crossed good style. What the golf énthusiast evidenfly had in mind was Evans’ first transatlantio jourmey, in 1811, ‘when he .wu‘nuunr onh- u}thm;mp.

Now, course, Miss Stirling neves made any such statement. Those ‘who know her—or know of her—do not have to be told this. One recalls that last year they had Walter Hagen doing and all sorts of absurd things. And he never said nor did any of them. Just what is the idea over there? ‘We deal more fairly with galfing visit- ors from the other side. Last year we paid Vardon and Ray $500 an exhibition per each and sat reverently at their feet. ‘We will do the same with Abe Mitchell $6.ss LEO P. GRADY Let’s Go, Men!| Spring’s Here!
