Owen's latest achievement was con- tributed last night when he robbed the Elis of a chance for the hockey championship. This is the third year he has been a party to Yale hockey defeats. His record against Yale in football and bageball “is' too well known to set forth here. Suffice it to say Yale recognizes his prowess and sportsmnanship. for in the leading edi- torial of the News today it did some- thing that it has seldom done before, pald a personal tribute to an athlete of another university. !

M. Chicago, March 9.—The controversy over Pitcher J./C, (Rube) Benton was settled last night by a declsion by XK. M. Landis, bascball commissioner, de- claring Benton eligible to play in or- ganized bascball, approving his trars- r to the Cincinnati National lcague eam by the 8t. Paul club of the Am- erican assoclation, and severely orit- fcizing those ‘who brought charges against Benton nearly two years after the alleged irregularities occurred. The National league had objected to the transfer of Benton on the grounds that he had knowledge of the 1919 world series scandal and failed Ito bring it to the attention of the | proper authorities and failed to sus- tain charges filed by him against an- other player. The question involved, the com- missioner said, was whether Benton iwas eligible to play anywhere. The | standards of the American association were as high as those of the majors, he ruled, adding that if Benton was ineligible to play with Cincinnati he was ineligible to play with St. Paul.
