C. A. A. A. A. cham year in a row. The champion Cardinals ex- hibited quality as well as quantity. Harlow Rothert broke the only meet record of the opening day when he heaved the 16-pound shot 50 feet 3 inches, bettering the former mark of his teammate, Eric Krenz, by two inches. Krenz qualified in the shot-put on his last throw, but led the discus qualifiers in defense of his other title with a throw of 148 feet 934 inches. A third Stanford star, Leo Kibby, topped the fleld in the javelin with a toss of 204 feet 7 inches. “Hec” Dyer, rangy sophomore sprinter, who qualified for both dashes, shared with Karl Wil- dermuth of Georgetown, the best time for the furlong, 21 8-10 seconds, whil Johnny Morrison, Cardinal _quarter- miler, reeled off his heat handily in 49 seconds.

Last year injuries kept Borah out of the I C.'A. A. A. A. com- petition entirely, although he later made the Olympic team. This Spring he was going great guns in the West, three times equalling the World record of 9 3-5 for the 100, until he again broke down. With Borah out of the lists, the sprint_favorites were Jimmy Daley of | Holy Cross and Pete Bowen, Pittsburgh flash, in the 100, with Wildermuth, Dyer and Charley Engle of Yale as prin- cipals in the 220.

HEN the guardisn of the royal and ancient game of golf decided that the golf ball of the future would be bigger and lighter, they informed the world of this fact. Without geiting into the argu- ment as o the advisability of making the ball larger for the benefit little white pellets one can at least concede that the makers of golf law were frank about it. The difference in the specifications for the golf ball necessarily will change the game considerably, but 21l of the golfers of the world and all of those interested in the game are aware that the game is about to be changed. as golf is to be changed through modifications, improvements or whatever you care to call them in the specifications for the official league base ball, But this change has been brought about without the fans and the players being taken into the confidence of the arbiters of the national pastime. The epidemic of home runs which made its appearance five or six ihe other day to note the signs of improvement in the play of the Brooklyn Dodgers 1 was struck by the number of home runs recorded on the tape. Between innings it seemed that the ticker was clicking “Whosis hit & home run.” Glancing at the home run records one finds that there already is & marked increase in what Mr. Willlam B, Hanna This increase in the number of homers is altogether too startling to be accounted for by the restrictions put on the pitchers or to the change in the style of batiing. It must be due to & change in the material used in the manufacture of the base balls and the idea must have been sanctioned by the magnates if the idea did not actually originate with them. near the old type of base ball he became the most popular figure and the greatest box office attraction the game ever knew. The main object of organized base ball is to draw gate receipts. When it became apparent that home runs drew customers the magnates were very eager to have more home Tuns, That is my theory of the cause of the increased output of home runs. to please the customers. . 1 recall that when the forces of organized base ball were fighting to squelch the Federal League the main arraignment against the inde- pendent organization was that the Federal League was using a rabbit base ball.

When Babe Ruth started breaking all home run figures with something The customers seemed to want them and it s the business of the magnates ball which could be driven farther than the ball used by organised 1. The old-line magnates professed a deep contempt for any organization which would resort to such underhanded methods to bid for popularity at the expense of the best traditions of the national pastime and sil that sort of thing. Now it becomes apparent that the magnates in organized base ball are resorting to the rabbit ball. This declaration will draw many tears from Mr. Julian Curtiss and Mr. John Doyle of Spalding’s. They continue to insist that the base ball used today is made according to the same specifications as the base ball of ten years ago. But they have no tangible theories as to what makes it travel %0 much farther and produce such an abnormal number of home runs. Perhaps the change is popular and all for the best, but why not be frank about it? Coliege Vigilantes. HE drastic action of the Western Conference in expelling or suspending the University of Iowa from participation in athletic contests ruled by the conference is an indication of the vigilance that is exereised in con- nection with intercollegiate athletics, Old grads of various colleges are watching one another with suspicious glare in their eyes in the matter of athletics, and foot ball in particular. With these conditions there is a fair guaranty that college athletics will be raised to a high standard and kept that way. But what of the tandards of the various colleges? I do not know of a single here an old grad of any institution has been concerned about this matter. If there have been any alumni worrying over this phase of the the new As it § very easy matter to determine when a foot ball co 15 Incompeient, or derelict in’ his duties.

But there is no way of telling whether or mnot a college president or the head of a department is incompeient or is falling down on his job. Alumni do not scem to be concerned about this phase. I am thinking of the Carncgie Foundation for the Investigation of Teaching. I am not criticizing this organization, for it is doing good work. they tell me. But as far as I can sce the Carnegie Foundation for the Investigation of Teaching seems to be confining fiself to an investigation of the conduct of collegiate athletics. At that the directors of the foundation may be right It may be that there is nothing the matter whatever with the colleges, but college sports.

It sounds like the cue to write Micheal's pugilistic obituary, but that might be premature. About 10 years after I wrote a very touching plece about Charles Weinert, the Adonis of Newark, N.

HICAGO, June 1.—A group of sturdy track and field men representing Froebel High School of Gary, Ind., today sought national recogni- tion, in the face of brilliant com- petition by stars from all sections of the country, in the finals of the twenty-fifth annual University of Chicago interscholastic meet. Froebel yesterday qualified 13 men in elght preliminary tests and its record showed ability to pick up points in to- day’s events. The Gary school finished second to Fort Collins, Colo., last year, but yesterday appeared powerful enough to top the Westerners, who qualified four men. Fort Collins, however, boasted stars who were not forced to compete in trial events yesterday. A brilliant three-cornered battle for victory in the 100-yard dash was fore- cast by the performances of Metcalfe Negro flash from Tilden Tech, Chicago; Foulkes of Muncie, Ind., Ceniral High, and Swift, a powerful sprinter from Lewis and Clark High, Spokane. Wash. Each won his trial heat in 0:09.9, indi- cating that the record of 0:09.8 might De tied or lowered. The three also were the class of the 220-yard dash. Fort Collius had a great chance to pick up several polnts in the pole vault with three men qualified. No records were damaged yesterday, the athletes spending no more necessary on trial heats. However, several of the youthful siars brought | records that, if duplicated, would topple meet marks. Elwyn Deese of Lor- raine, Kans., who qualified in the shot- put and discus, bettered 58 feet with | the 12-pound shot this Spring, giving | him a chance at Dr. Clarence Hauser's | record of 56 feet 2 inches.

In 1900 a tall young Canadian journeyed to New York City to com- pete for the all-around athletic championship of America, He had previously saved his money and | traveled to “the States” to see Sweeney, the champion, high-jump, and had adopted Sweeney's form in place of his own, and profited thereby.

Relies on Right Weight Balance In recent articles about the driving methods of Abe Mitchell, readers wrote me that Mitchell could not possibly take his driving stance with his weight on the balls of his feet and hit the ball correctly. They even said he would fall forward. But Mitchell does take that stance. So does Bobby Jones. I doubt if any- one has ever seen Jones fall forward ‘when he drove. ‘There is a bit of give to Jones' knees, too, when addressing the ball.
