But Dickey got his second single of the inning to score Ruth with a seventh New York | | | run. The Nationals, who had picked up a tally in the first session with a brace of infleld hits and an error by the Yankee catcher, then added two in the fourth inning with a pair of passes, a double by Bluege and some smart base run- ning, came back in the latter part of the fifth for a fourth marker. A pass to Stewart, Myer's single and Rice's sacrifice fly turned the trick. After that the Nationals stood by while the Yankees sewed up the game. A single, triple, double and single with only one out occurring during the barrage accounted for three runs off Brown in the sixth round. In the seventh a pass, a triple and a single off the same pitcher ncited the Yankees. two more tallies, their last block of scores in the fray. It was enough, for the best the Na- tionls could get with a rally in the eighth, when they drove Wells to cover, amounted to only three runs. Hayes’ single, Gooch's two-bagger and a dou- ble by Spencer accounted for two of them. Spencer’s blow chased Wells and Barnes, in a pinch-hitting role, greeted Fred Helmach, relief hurler, with a sh:}le. to send over Washington’s last mafker. Both sides swung their bats freely. The Yankees made 16 hits for 21 bases. The Nationals banged 12 for 14 bases. Dickey made four of the visitors’ hits. Koenig and Combs each smote three safeties. Myer continued his hitting streak. Singling at the start of the first inning, he ran his total of consecutive games in_which he has made one or more safeties to 21. In the fourth inning, the Nationals got & run in an odd way. With Bluege on third and Ruel on first a double theft was attempted. Wells stepped from the slab and threw to get Muddy, but the side-retiring out was not made before Ossle crossed the plate. Manager Johnson used 16 players in an effort to stop the Yankees. An extra second baseman, extra catcher, three extra pitchers and two pinch-batters were employed. In the sixth inning, Bluege slipped as he ran back on the grass to take a throw from West and again hurt the left knee that was injured severely enough to put him out of action not long ago. He had td turn his job over to Haves, but is not likely to idle long this time. Judge's stomach still was squeamish, 50 Gooch played first base for the Na- tionals.

DOWN THE LINE WITH W. 0. McGEZHAN. A New Intramural Sport. UCH emphasis has been placed on the advisability of intramural sports as agamst intercollegiate sports, with the vast stadia, the tendency to e the importance of games, the exalation of the gladiatorial T believe that the University of Dubuque has reduced itself intramural sports entirely. it has remained for the University of Illinois, according to “The s Targum,” to evolve an entirely original intramural sport. This is a beard-raising contest of iwo weeks' duration. It is said that 3,000 undergraduates entered the contest with wild enthusiasm. But tger: I gather that it is an interclass contest, which does not seem quite fair.| it would seem as though the seniors would have a walk-over in such | Norm 0 a struggie and that the freshmen would be a sure thing to finish fourth. Buu returns from the contest, which apparently still is in full blast, are not yet in, so there are no conclusions to be reaches An Inexpensive Pastime. T THE affalr is the success which its sponsors believe that #t will be, there may be some intercollegiate contests of the same nature. One thing that might be said in favor of the sport is that it takes no time at all from other activities, and it does not require any Spring training., There are no expenses for coaches or trainers. As yet there are no evils that can be charged against it. But these will come with the increase in popularity. If it should reach a certain stage it will be no time before there will be charges of proselytizing for beard- growers, and the three-year rule will have to be introducd. It does not seem that this sport could lead to any break in relations. Still, one never can tell. contest Harvard might claim that Princeton used rough tactics and hair restorer, New College Courses. T WILLIAMS COLLEGE, they made golf and tennis compulsory for the undergraduates. Not only must all of the students play these games, but they must qualify to certain specified stapdards. They also have horseshoe pitching at Williams, but this is not compulsory, and-an undergraduate may be a dub at the barnyard game and still get by. I cannot see what happens to a student who does not pass his golf and tennis exams. Perhaps he is given the opportunity to bone up in these courses under special tutors. This will give Walter Hagen and Vincent kichards a future as members of the Willlams College faculty. It seems a pity that there are no provisions for a naval officer keeping up on his game after graduation, especially on long cruises. It is up to Congress to make an appropriation for a number of special golf ships with decks big enough to saccommodate miniature links in order that the Navy men will not forget what they learned at the Academy.
