Chauca’s time of 29 minutes 44 seconds, as recorded by two official timers, broke the previous 6-mile world record, 29 minutes 5945 sec- onds, set in 1904 by Alfred Shrubb, English runner. Chauca is a stu- dent at the Riverside Sherman In- dian Institute. Robert S. Weaver, in charge of the Southern Pacific division of the A. A. U, announced that the race was under investigation as a result of variation in times recorded. Sid Foster, the third official timer, reported that he had clocked Chauca in 31 minutes and 44 seconds.

The hits| that came his way he returned with | the smooth speed that marks your pol- ished performer. He had only one op- | portunity for a putout and this couldn't | have been classed as a chance by most | collegians. Wearshing dove for Johnny Scalzi's line drive and came up with it after a side somersault. | That shot appeared to be a certain | three-bagger, but Wearshing turned it into a double play. With a quick re- | covery and zippy throw he doubled Dunn off second base, Johnny was nearly to third when the ball was | caught. | A healthy triple and ringing one- baser were Wearshing's contribution | .10 the Temple attack. Incidentally, this husky youth is captain of foot ball and basket ball. The game was called after the seventh because of rain. Temple stowed away victory in the fifth with four runs. Packey White was relieved in this in- ning by Poole. Neither was effective but Peole came back strong in the last | two frames. Bob Cooper went the route for Temple. Only one Hilltopper liked | his offerings. This was Dunn, who hit | a couple of two-baggers. Johnny Scalzi of Georgetown is at- | tracting more and more attention. ‘There has been no game in which the stocky inflelder hasn’t made a brilliant play or two. He is particularly skilled in going to his left for ground balls and frequently cuts into the first base man's territory. His whip is lightning- like and he is adept on the double-play pivot. He Is a slugger too. Johnny, however, is a trifie wild on the throw. Harry Milburn, sophomore, has been the leading pitcher at Maryland this season. He was not counted upon heavily at the outset, but has come through when others failed. ~Milburn went to Maryland from Central High. Maryland's mile relay team, which ‘was nosed out by Fordham in the Penn carnival, was an unusual combination in that there were only two regular quarter-milers in' the quartet. Urban Linzey, who ran first, and Bob Havell who ran _second, are 440 men, but Walter Plumley, the third runner, usually runs the haif or mile and, Bill Kinnamon, anchor, who all but made up a deficiency of 10 yards on the last Fordham man, is & hurdler. Eric Kjellstrom, the Georgetown hurdler, is showing marked ability as a sports writer. His articles in The Hoya, dealing much with national and international athletics, should increase the circulation of that snappy little publication. They ring with authority. Kjellstrom, a native of Sweden, is a crack scholar. He was one of five honor students who acquired distinction in the reading of the last quarterly marks. Arthur Hauver, who has started all five of the Maryland freshmen's base ball victories, let down Charlotte Hall with one hit, a single, and won an 8-to-0 decision. Bozey Berger, who went to Maryland from Tech High, made four hits, including a double. Maryland’s varsity ball game with Virginia Poly yesterday at Blacksburg was prevented by rain.

BY QUINN, RED SOX BOSS | President Bob Quinn of the Bos- ton Red Sox is advocating a shorter season. The usual postponements caused by rain and cold weather are the reasons. The Red Sox's mogul contends that an abbreviated schedule of 140 games would be much snappier for | all concerned. Wiih the opening | contests billed for May 1 several clubs could do their Spring training at home, beginning April 1. The attendance should be large from the start, because the fans would be on edge to see their favorites without shivering in the polar breezes. o Se | Grounds (base match).

Golf is a matter of balance. There must be fixed points for the swing and pivot else it would be impos- sible to strike the ball true. Sway- ing causes a great many faults. Barnes holds that the head is the point to watch to prevent swaying. When next you have an opportu- nity of seeing Jones or Farrell or Horton Smith drive stand in front of them and center the tops of their heads on a tree back of them or s me stationary object. Watch this point carefully all through the swing. You'll find that it remains a fixed one against the fixed object behind. There is a trace of head sway among some very fine golfers.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 7.—Five di- rectors of the Pacific Coast Base Ball ll.enxun, constituting a quorum, have passed ‘a resolution calling upon Wil- | liam Wrigley, owner of the Los Angeles Club, to discontinue the practice of ad- | mitting women free to ball games in Los Angeles on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Directors of the Portland, Seattle, | Hollywood, Oakland and Sacramento | clubs instructed Harry Williams, league president, to notify the Los Angeles club of ‘their detion. Los Angeles has 10 days to reply. Should Wrigley refuse to abide by the decision, the case will be carried to the National Board of Arbitration of Minor | Leagues. | It is understood the Los Angeles club { will take no notice of the directors’ ction or any taken by the national | board and that eventually the problem of allowing the fair sex to attend all | games gratis in Los Angeles will be threshed out in civil court. The Los Angeles club is the only one of the eight in the league which gives free admission to women every day. ‘The league constitution says women are not supposed to be admitted gratis on_Tuesdays, Saturdays or Sundays. ‘The other clubs have free admission days from one to three times a week. | | = TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats EISEMAN’S, 7th & F O in their new foil wrapping, as striking an appeal to the eye as they always have to PANETELA. trim, slim, distinguished, finds much favor with the younger smokers.

NNAPOLIS, May 7.—After two Saturday programs of less than the usual interest at the Naval Academy, a list of special in- terest will be presented on the coming week end. Of outstanding interest is the boat race against Syracuse, After defeats by the crews of Massachusetts Tech and Columbia, the Navy is getting des- perate as to its crew and expects its Orange. to give the Navy plebes their first race | of the season. The plebes have a fine | looking crew coached by Buck Walsh, who has developed the winners of the | freshmen events at Poughkeepsie the | last two years. Another big event will be the track | meet with Georgetown. The Midship- men have won three events with ease and will get a real test from the Blue and Gray. . Teams of the Naval Academy and Pennsylvania State will exchange visits. The Middy nine will go to Penn State, while the latter’s lacrosse team will op- pose the unbeaten Navy twelve. The Navy tennis team will also travel, going to Philadtlphia to play Pennsylvania, while the Middy rifiemen meet the National Guard of the District of Columbia at Annapolis. The plebes also have a good bill of sports for the day, including lacrosse against the Maryland freshmen, base | ball against Bellefonte Academy, track against the Georgetown freshmen and tennis against Gilman School. There will be three events here ‘Wedensday, the opponents of the Navy teams being all from the District of Co- lumbla or vicinity.

There must be some pretty close con- nection between the calming in- fluence of a good cigar-and that clear, calm thinking which brings success.
