| L 10 HOMERS IN BIG LEAGUES; 229,000 WATCH FIRST GAMES Crowd Of 74,217 Helps Yanks Dedicate Sta- dium With Win—Babe Ruth Delights With Round Trip Wallop — N. Y., Phila,, Cleve- land and Detroit Tied in American—Giants and Dodgers Lead Nationals. Wednesday, April 18, was a big day for the various candi- dates for the crown of the King of Swat in the National and American leagues, no less than ten home runs having been scored in the eight games played. Babe Ruth made the opening of the Yanks’ stadium more auspicious by poling out a circuit clout while up in Boston Pitcher Scott of the Giants did an almost unheard of thing for a pitcher—he got a homer. Ken Williams of the Browns showed he was in mid-season form when he hit for the circuit and Harry Helimann also put one over for the Tigers. Others who connected for a four base wallop were: Dykes, Athle- ties; Kelleher, Cubs; Grimm, Pirates; Mann, Cardinals; Wheat, Dodgers; Sand, Phillies. Record Attendances New York, April 19. (By Associated Press) —More baseball hungry humans sat in the Yanks’ new stadium in the Bronx yes- terday and saw Babe Ruth and Bob Shawkey win a ball game than attended the other season openings in the three American league cities combined. That'’s only half of it. The other half is that half as many fans helped dedicate the Yankee three-tiered grandstand and comprise the largest crowd that ever saw a baseball game as stood, sat and leaned in all the other seven major leag‘ue cities combined on their two opening days—Brooklyn, Boston, Chicago and Cincinnati in the National and the three other American league cities. 229,000 Saw Openers Because the two leagues had separate premiers this year the significance of the total figure is not lessened. The approximate total of 229,000 in all eight cities—restoring the municipality to Brooklyn and subtracting that borough from New York—prob- ably stands as the high mark of baseball. Figures for other years are unavailing but unquestionably they’re smaller. The Yank total officially was 74,217, the largest baseball erowd of all time and 30,000 more than the last biggest which squeezed into Braves field at Boston in 1916 to see a world series game.

The lid has been clamp- ed on professional bouts for some time. The mayor’s ultimatum was the result of a demonstration staged at an inter-city show last night at which he was a ring- side spectator. Several hundred persons protested against the de-| cision of the judges which awarded a verdict to Morris Kleinman, | Cleveland, over Jerry McManus, Boston national amateur 135 | pound ohamplon, with a barrage of hisses and booes. The show was stopped until several leaders in the verbal at- tack were ejected. “When fight attendants decline to act like gentlemen and per- sist in acting like ‘bums’ it is time to close the doors on the game here entirely,” Mayor Kopler said. | clubs of the majors will be affected.

No Classes Organlzed Thus Far This School Year In comments anent athletics at the High school it develops that a pecu~ llar situation has arisen there inas- rauch as physical training, which is on the curriculum, seems to be absolute- ly forgotten. This should not be tak- en as a rap at Physfeal Director Cas- sidy, as it is explained in some circles that he has been compelled to teach classes in other subjécts, thereby hav. ing no time tp devote to physical edu- cational work. However, if that iz the case it would appear that an ad- ditional man, a physical Instructor, should be engaged in order that this important” phase of school work | should not be neglected, As a matter of fact, it is sald at | the High school, there has not beem | a single class organized or called to- | gether In physical training among the boys this school year, Already three | semesters are over axd the fourth is | on its way. Instead ol going to physi- | cal training classes a# scheduled, the students simply remak in their sec- | tion rooms and study. | Another peculiar unqle to the situ- ation is that all male| puplls, unless | excused, are supposed \to take one | period of physical cuture work a ‘, week. A period consits of 75 min- | utes, And for this work in the physi- cul training classes the pupil receives | a certain credit that caints towards | the total number neceunf ation. Thus, this year| the boys | graduating will have counting toward | their graduation mark i credit for which they did not do asingle thing to earn. ‘'Gee, it's pretty poft for us” | one or two have been heard to say. State Statute, Chapter 399 of the Publc Acts of Connectigut for 1921 states f Sections 1 and 4 that physical training is com- pulsory in the public schook of this state, Children in the kindergarten grades are excepted but all others trom the first grade in the elementary schools to the last grade in High school are required to take yphysical trainfig as a part of thelr jlegular studies. L The state board of educatioy has || already issued a course of stujy in physical culture for the elencyin grades and it is understood board is now preparing a cou, the High school grades to becoma ef« i Unlike his manag has refrained from picking the win- § ner of the Willard - Johnson bout.
