Cleveland, June 10.—Tris Speaker, manager of the Cleveland Indians, is try today. Confined to his bed in a tocal hotel with bronchitis, which for time threatened to develop into pneumonia, Speaker is downcast be- cause he is unable to attend the funeral of his best friend, James C. Dunn, president of the club in Mar- shalltown, Towa, tomorrow. “Jim" Dunn was a pattern of base- ball magnate that exemplifies all that a manager wants in the owner he works for,” was the tribute paid by Speaker. “He has given me every co-operation in the way of getting players. He never complained when we lost. He always seemed to think that the players and not himself should be sympathized with ‘We can't win 'em all,’ were his cheering words."” Plans are under way to raise a fund for a memorial to Mr. Dunn. It probably will be erected at Dunn field, the home of the Cleveland team. WORKOUT FOR HARVARD Crimson Crew Rows Over Charles River Course.

McConn of the Kaceys, in bringing of the Winsted téam here tomorrow afternoon. In stacking up against the visitors, the locals will have to use every bit of baseball ability they possess, if a victory is to be won. The game will be played on the St. Mary's diamond and ‘“play ball” will be shouted by Umpire Eddie Crowley at 8 o'clock. Yale Star on Mound Word from Winsted has been re- ceived that the managéement will use Selleck on the firing line. This boy worked for Yale two years ago, and was classed as among the best the Blue turned out in the pitching line for several years, He won his games over Harvard and Princeton. This season, Selle¢k has been showing plen- ty of form on the mound, and has not suffered a defeat to date.” Torrington Boys in Lineup Rubino and the Conklin brothers were for several seasons thebulwarks of strength on the old Torrington team. They are playing a snappy brand of the national pastime this season. The Winsted fans think pret- ty well of the work of Adams behind the bat, and should be interesting to seejust how he classes with Mickey Noonan, the local star. Budnick With Locals Manager McConn has secured the services of Budnick, the former Fafair star to cover the pasture in right fleld. “Dog" has been known in the past for proficiency with the willow, and his clubbing should be a big asset to the Kaceys. A change has ben made in the batting order, Jimmy Green, whose work has been sensational since the beginning of the season, has been moved up into second place. MecCor- mick, who worked for a part time last Sunday, will undoubtedly draw the pitching assignment for the opening innings. Gerry Crean, tha regular hurler, has recovered his form, and is now in readiness to take his turn again on the mound. HORSESHOE PITCHING Women Now Enter Popular Field of Sports That Used to Belong to Farmers and City Folks. Chicago, June 10—Horseshoe pitch- ing no longer is a barnyard sport for farmérs, nor a sand lot diversion for city folks. It has been elevated to a woman's game and the first national championship tournament for woém- en will be held in connection with the National tournament for men at the Iowa state fair, Des Moines, Ia., August 29 to Sept. 1, it was announced today. Rules governing the women's pitehing will be the same as for men, with the exception that the stakes will be placed 30 feet apart instead of 40 feet. Mrs. J. R. Matthews of Minneapolis, Minn,, who claims the national wom- en's championship title, will be in the competition along with a number of other prominént féminine stars. The HIGH SCHOOL TEAM LOSES TO MERIDEN Local Bascball Nine Throws Away A Perfectly Good Game Through Wrangling ' The local High school team went down to defeat before the Meriden High school baseball niné yesterday afternoon at Walnut Hill Park in the last scheduled game of the present scason. The local team startéd off in whirlwind fashion and seemed sure of the game until they blew up and like the proverbial witd balloon, fail- ed to come down, Costly errors, coupled wnh’ the wrangling between the players ‘on the fleld weére the causes of their downfall. Williams, the local twirler, who started on the mound, pitched good ball until his team went up the chute, He was then retired in place of Gray, who found himself in the same fix as his predecessor. The Meriden twirler, Tony Barcovich, turned in a neat game, the runs be- ing scored, not off his delivery, but through the misplays of his team- mates. In contrast with the local team, the Meriden niné instead of upbraiding the luckless one who committed the misplays, coached him along, gritted their teeth and wen what should have been New Britain's Ball game. De- spite the cautioning of Coach Cas- sidy, the locals continued to crab one another, and in so doing, they for. got that they were playing ball and in consequence of it, théy booted many easy hits that should have gone for outs.

PENSION FOR M'VEY Player Remembered By National League. San Francisco, June 10.—Cal A. McVey haited in his rounds last night as watchman for a San Francisco lum- ber company to answer the telephone. “This you Cal?” queried the voice of a sporting editor, friend of the vet- eran baseball player, whose record as a member of the old Cincinnati Reds antedates the memory of most of to- day's followers of the game. “The National League voted you a monthly pension today Cal,” the voice queried. What do you think of that?" It was welcome pews to the old timer. Jobs have been more and more infrequent and difficult to hold since his retirement from baseball in 1880. Rheumatism and other ills of ad- vanced aged, have meant weeks in the hospital of recent years. Cal is 72 years old. His funds have been low. The idea of a benefit jor the veteran had been suggested aud abandoned for the name “Cal McVey" carries little significance to ihe bulk of 1922 fans. It was a grand name back in the 70's and 80's when it was linked with those of Al G. Spaulding, Jim White and Ross Barnes. Cal was one of that big four on the Chicago White Old Time championship will he conducted under the’ auspices of the National Horse- shoe Pitching association.

Sends Out 500 Entry Blanks Urbana, 11, June 10.—Entry blanky for the second national collégiate A.A/ " track and fleld meet at Stagg felq Chicago, June 17, are in the Rhards o 1600 leading colleges and univérsitie of the country today and Alféady al.. of the western conference and Mis souri vulley conferénce téams, as we| as numerous others, have sifnifie their intention of entering, acédrdin| to reports to Major John L. Grimitl of the University of Illinels. Committee in Charge. Major GriMith is chairman of the arrangements committee, whi¢h alsq includes A. A. Stagg of Chicage and Tom Jones, director of athleties at the University of Wisconsin. The University of California, Leéland Stan- ford, Occidental, Washington, Van- derbilt, Centre, Mississippl and Téxal university havé also signified their in- tention of competing, Major Grifith announced. ; Last year the N. C. A. A. staged the first annual national collégiaté meét in Stagg fleld with 64 teanis repredéntéd and establishéd itself as a gathéring place each year to détermine the na- tional championship track team and also the natiénal champlens in each eevnt. The University of Iilinels, with its well-balanced track aggrega- tion, won last year's meet and has its eye on a second championship this season, although the ecompetition with the expected increased number of entries will be much leener. Five Hundred Invitations Sent. The fact that 500 invitations and entry blanks were sént has a signifi- cance, ‘for all other meets in the country are closed affairs with the exception of relay carnivals. For ex- ample, the 1. C. A. A. A. A. is open only to its members; conferences hold meets for their members. It is a growing feeling, in fact, on the part of the members of the *Big Ten" and other conferences that only its mem- bers should be allowed to compete. There are fifteen or twenty outstand- ing conferences in the country at the present time, and the N. C. A. A track and fleld meet is the only one coming after these are completed. By the date of this year's meet team championships and individua champions in the various states and sections will have been determined, and the national meet provides a meeting place of the title holders to compete for national supremacy. No satistactory scheme has been worked to determine national cham- pions in football, baseball and basket- ball, but in this meet the National Collegiate Athletic association ha# provided a meeting place for thé na- tion's best in the most centrally lo« cated place for a track meet, Chicags. With the University of California, Leland Stanford and in the Univeérsity of Illinois represented along with other crack teams in the nation, the meet this year should establish many national and perhaps world's recérds, the track on Stagg fleld being one of the fastest in the country.
