The paramount issue on the eve of | opening of the le: gns —will the 1924 pennant winners re- peat? If McGraw pilots the Giants to another pennant it will be the fifth straight flag for the New York club under McGraw's management. In swinning the 1924 flag McGraw created a record in the major leagues. Back in the palmy days of b before the reign of National League, Boston won four stralght races in the National Association, 1872 to 1576, and St. Louls duplicated this feat in the American Assoclation from 1885 to 1889, but these achievements were outside of so-called organized base ball. Jack Dunn's feat in piloting the Baltimore Orioles to six straight pen- nants in the International League is the only record in organized base ball which surpasses that of MecGraw. Keen Flag Fights Likely. Though there is no reason to doubt that the New York Giants and the Washington Nationals are as strong 4s they were last season. it i ex- pocted the opposition will be stiffer this year, the Giants facing such strengthened clubs as Brooklyn and Pittsburgh, while the Nationals look for trouble from the New York Yankees and the Detroit Tygers. The Giants last season won by a margin of one and one-half games over Brooklyn, with the Pirates a similar margin behind the Dodgers. Winter trades, however, have proven advantageous to both’ these clubs, Pittsburgh particularly having been strengthened Dby the exchange of players. Chicago, 1 feli o ng the latter ha A cted fo bs In the fighting from the start, despite the injury which will keep Rabbit Maranville, star in- felder, out of the game until May 1. The Reds will start with high hopes and reports from Boston declare that Bancroft has assembled the best a gregation there since 1914 Phila- Gelphia and St Louis are not expects ¢d to be in the thick of the figh season. E m)"(:ar‘s Vietory of the Nationals has been likened in some respects to the miraculous rise of the Boston Braves in 1914. The Nationals go away to a bad start, but a flurry dur- ing the last of June and the first part of July landed them on top. The Iaiddle of August found them in thi place, but when the Yankees and Tygers began to slip Harris' men be- came imbued with a winning spirit which swept them to a victory in the l6ague racc and a subsequent triumph over the Giants in the world series. Yanks Seem Stronger. The acquisition of Urban Shocker to the pitching staff and the sens tional training camp play of Earl Combs, former Louisville star, will glve the Yankees a strengthened team. Although himself on the sick list, Ty Cobb has gathered around him a celebrated array of talent, and strong opposition is promised by the Detroit team this year. There appears to be some question now as to whether Cobb will be able to start the season. dle Collins, celebrating his first year as a major league pilot, has an uncertain quantity in the Chicago White Sox. St. Louls, Philadelphia, Cleveland and Boston will present changed lin ups this year and all expect to im- prove their standing of last year when only 52 points separated the four clubs as the curtain dropped. ATHLETICS LAND POOLE, PORTLAND FIRST SACKER WINSTON-SALEM, N. C., April 11. Jim Poole, former first baseman of o Portland club of the Pacific Coast YLeague, left here today to ‘join the Philadelphia Athletics, Poole, a hold-out from the Port- land club, sald that he had been ad- vised of his sale to the Athletics Last year he hit .356 with the Ore- gon club. ANDERSON TO MANAGE ST. STEPHEN’S SENIORS Morton Anderson, former president of the Washington Base Ball and Athletio Association, who has been elected manager of the St. Stephen’s senior nine, requests that all candi- dates for the team report at the clubhouse tomorrow afternoon at 1:45 for practice. The team is to be made up of mem- bers of the National Athletic Club aggregation of last season. Joe Duvall, at West 1006, is booking games for the Saints and is challeng- ing all senfor and unlimited teams of the District and meighboring ter- ritory. Duvall hopes to slgn Peck McCullins *o play with St. Stephen’s. PETWORTH DIAMONDERS TAKE FIELD TOMORROW Buck Grier, manager of the Pet- worth unlimited base ball nine, is calling out his sluggers for their first practice tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock at Hanley Field. Former members and candidates are request- ed to report. The Petworths expect to round out & strong combination this season and are considering entering the unlimit- ed dlvision of the Washington Base Ball and Athletic Association. How- ever, the northwest aggregation may stick to strictly independent ball. Crupp, Edelin and Brinkman are counted on to pitch this year. which fell off noticeably last season, YALE WINS AT POLO.

He join the club in New York. Jenkinn, who finished his studles at ® flitop last June, went to the Baltimore Orloles after that time. During his caréer at George- town he was ranked amomg the leading college pltchers and com- plled an enviable record. He was the mainstay of the staff in 1022, when the Hilitoppers went through the season unbenten and were erowned intercollegiate champions of the East. RUTH, MUCH BETTER, HAS NEW AMBITION VEW YORK, April 11.—Babe Ruth, home-run_ king, has only been confined to a hospital bed for a little more than one day, yet he already pines for the great outdoors. But not to play base bail! Babe has confided to his nurse that he longs to tradc places with an en- gincer who is operating a noisy steam shovel near the institution. Although the rattle and jangle con- stitutes a major disturbance to many of the patients, Babe has admitted that running one of the big shovels has been an outstanding ambition of his life. Ruth, pronounced out of danger by the physicians, is far improved. His doctors were of the opinion that he would not be in condition to play against Washington Tuesday, and one of them sald he would be lucky if he was out of the hospital in a week. However, officials of the Yankees are hopeful that Ruth will be in the line-up on the opening day. FOWNES PLAYS YATES IN GOLF EVENT FINAL PINEHURST, N. C,, April 11.—W. C.

The Yankees have already clinched the latter series, 9 to 6, with only two games remaining to be played. The Glants also have the edge on the team of Bucky Hairis, 6 to 4, with two games remaining to be played in New York. Indians Play Reds. CINCINNATI, Ohio, April 11.—The Cleveland Indians, scheduled for ex- hibition games with the Cincinnati Reds at Redland Field today and tomorrow, were the only American Leaguers to make a clean sweep over the Reds in the South, having won both games played in_Florida. Manager Hendricks expected to start Pete Donohue against the Indians as a preliminary to his probable appearance on the mound against the St. Louis Car- dinals next Tuesday. Hendricks is especially pleased with his infleld line-up. “I think,” he said last night, “our infleld is going to be the strongest in the league, with Bressler, Critz, Pinelli and Caveney as regulars and three giant utility men in Bohne, Dressen and Fowler.” Dressen's arm has vielded to treatment, and he appears ready to fill in at any time. Sisler Likes His Team. ST. LOUIS, Mo., April 11.—Base ball in major key held the attention of St. Louis today, with the Cardinals and the Browns on the program as the big num- ber at Sportsman’s Park. It was the opening date of a two-game series for the city’s pre-season champlonship. Returning home with his squad of Brownies yesterday, Manager George Sisler smiled and rated his club four- fold stronger than last year. The pitch- ing, catching, inflelding and outfielding all have been improved, he said. Manager Branch Rickey, howsver, made no reservations in declaring him: self leading the best aggregation of Car- dinals in years. Especially was he pleased with Charles Rhem, young right-hander, who he sald was a find. Tribe Routs Collegians. CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 11.— Manager Tris Speaker sent seven of his collegians against the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa yesterday and the Cleveland Indians defeated the Southern intercollegiate cham- pions, 9 to 3. Joe and Luke Sewell and Riggs Stephenson, alumni of the university, were instrumental In the defeat, Jos getting three hits and scoring two runs; Luke walking twice and scor- ing a run, and Stephenson smashing out a double and single, which sent in three. Nichaus of Pirates Hurt. PITTSBURGH, Pa., April 11.—The Pirates defeated the Travelers 7 to.6 at Little Rock, Ark. yesterday, but their victory might prove a costly one, Al Niehaus, their voung first baseman, injuring his right leg, and might not be able to play in the opening game at Chicago next Tues- da Niehaus had batted out one home run, and was trying to make another off a drive into right field. As he tore toward second base, he jerked his leg and fell. His was not the only casualty of the contest, for “Sawmill” Joe Brown, pitcher, was struck by a batted ball and went to his home, about nine miles from Lit- tle Rock. He planned to rejoin his ts Field, Brooklyn, the Yankees and lock in the sixteenth game of their Cuyler and Pooch Barnhart contrib- uting two others. If Niehaus fis unable to open the season, the Bucs will ba seriously handicapped. Eddie Moore, who was picked for second base, is also out with an Injury which may keep him out of the open- ing lineup. Cubs Have Close Call. CHICAGO, April 11.—The Cubs had a close shave in Kansas City yester- day when the Kaws rummed up a ninth inning rally and the Chicagoans barely escaped with a G-to-4 victory. The veteran, Grover Alexander, was touched for seven hits In five innings, and Wilbur Cooper, who replaced him, allowed four safeties. Jim Zinn, former Pirate, did mound duty for the Kaws. Aftor games today and tomorrow the Cubs entrain for Chicago to open the season Tuesday against Pitts- burgh. Rain, which has pursued the White Sox across Indlana, prevented the scheduled game with Terre Haute yesterday. A two-game series with Indianapolls was to start today. T for about 5 'milcs. waves washed them up. Quail in many States have suffered terribly from the cold this Winter. Rain during January that fell in many sections and then froze was partly responsible. Reports from California, Connecticut, Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, Idaho, Missourl and other States indicate that the quail were cut down appreciably. Farmers and organized sportsmen saved millions of them, however. A bill intreduced into the Wyoming Legislature recently provides for the killing' of bull elk only in the Jack- son Hole country, the greatest elk hunting ground in the world. The killing of the cow elk has heretofore been permitted, and the annual kill, ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 animals has been about 50 per cent cows. The cows are killed for meat, usually by residents of the State, while only the Eastern sportsmen kill the bulls. The bill is taken to indicate that the killing of elk for meat, rather than for sport, must not continue. Sportsmen everywhere in the North- ern States and Canada report that each year more ducks stay all Wi ter in the North. It is sald that this is because the ducks fear the migra- tion and are doing everything pos- sibie to avoid it because of the dangers. s TENNIS AT DUMBARTON.

TRIO OF FOOT BALL EVILS POINTED OUT CHICAGO, April 11—Physical in- structors must take it upon them- selves to remove the evils of inter- collegiate foot ball or collegs pres dents will some day abolish it, Prof. W. C. Savage, head of the depart- ment of physical education at Oberlin, told the Middle West Society of ;’I\)'siual Education at the convention here. “I have been pictured as a Bol- shevist because my position has been misconstrued,” sald Prof. Savage. “Don't get me as wanting to abolish intercollegiate foot ball—I want to save it. 1f we do not correct it, its reform will be undertaken by persons less sympathetio with it, who will probably do away with it altogether. “There are three evils. One is the emphasis on victery which dismisses a coach if his team loses a few games. It was a fine act of the trustees of the University of Minnesota to in- vestigate the complaints of the M lub against Bill Spaulding before permitting him to be dropped. They found that there was nothing to it except that some of the alumni were too greedy for victors, and they told them so. “The second evil is commercialism and the excessive sums spent on’| intercollegiate foot ball. I under- stand Ohio State spent the most of last year on intramural foot ball, £13,000 for all their students engaged in intramural foot ball, while for the few students on the varsity teams I will venture they spent as much as $250,000. The third evil is that too few students benefit from intercol- legiate foot ball, despite the dispro- portionate amount invested in it.” Competitive athletics can substitute for war, in so far as the satisfaction of certain human instincts angd feel- ings is concerned, Coleman G&riffith of the department of physical educa- tion, University of Illinols, said. Patriotism, courage, moral and mental discipline and physical hardi- hood, he said, concerned generally as among positive influences of war, can be supplied through competitive ath- letics. His subject was “Athletlo Compe- tition, an Influence for Peace in In- ternational Relations. Willlam J. Bogan, a: tendent of Chicago public school: another address, said that physical education is probably as good a men- tal disciplinarian as the studies of mathematics or the classical lan- guages, pointing out that the disci- pline derived from the latter does not carry over into other subjects. The whole program of studies, he sald, may be overturned in a few years, to include among the essen- tial subjects for students that of physical education, adding that the program of physical training should be based on the Nation's non-military needs. Competitive athletics for women were 'said_by Dr. H. E. Arnold of the New Haven School of Physical PENN FOUR SECOND, CAMBRIDGE WINNING By the Associated Press.

NAVY IS IN RUNNING IN SWIMMING MEET CHICAGO, April 11.—Northwestern and the Navy by qualifying eight men each in the preliminaries of the national collegiate swimming meet at Northwestern last night loom to- day as the strongest contenders for the natfonal title in tonight's finals Ralph Breyer, captain of the pur- ple, and Dick Howell, on whom rest Northwestern's hopes to retain the crown, won last year at Annapolis.

Both games were to start at 3 o'clock. Both Princeton and Yale were de- teated in their last games, but each is capable of giving its opponent a keen battle. Princeton was blanked yesterday by Virginia at Charlottes- ville, while Yale lost to Georgetown here on Thursday.

FRED W. KNIGHT TELLS Walter Reynold’s Great Shot Under Pressure. HE most effective shot under pressure that I ever saw was made in the Whitemarsh Club, Philadelphia, my home club, two or three years ago. Norman Maxwell and Walter Reynolds were the finalists, and their match excited especial interest because Maxwell had two legs on the cup | and if he could win that year the trophy would pass into his permanent Well, it turned out to be a most excit- ing set-to, and when the eighteenth hole was reached the two players were all square. At this point Reynolds got a bit off form, and, while Maxwell reached the green in two, leaving himeelf with two putts for a par 4, his opponent took a stormy trip down the course which end- ed in ais running up 3 strokes and still not getting on the green. More than this, he had a very difficult shot. His third had placed him in rough at the top of a bunker on the right side of the green. To top off his difficulties, his ball was in a hanging lls. Also the flag was set very close to the opposite side of the trap, the sids he would have to clear to reach the green. In fact, not more than 10 feet separated the trap from the cup. As the bunker had a width of about 10 feet, Reynolds had a play to Lh;thols nlr about 20 feet. certainly was a nasty situation Reynolds. On the other hand, Mxxw':lrl was sitting pretty.

But he wasn't. He pitched over that trap, and his ball went into the cup on the bounce for 4 par 4.
