The Robins were displaced by Chi- | eago which has been cavorting near the first division for two weeks. The Cubs managed to take a game from the lately troublesome Quakers 16 to 1 and are within one point of St. Louls which dropped another to New York 7 to 5, giving the Giants the edge of the series. The easy time the Giants have had at St. Louis has been very comfort- ing to Manhattan fans who thought they foresaw the Pirates replacing them in the leadership. The Giants rest today and then take on the Braves and their margin should grow. American League Elmer Smith, the Yank pinch hitter who has hit nine times out of 14 times at bat this season, delivered in the crisis again yesterday, doubling with the bases full and enabling the Yanks to tie the score with Detrolt but the Tigers, despite a weakened in- fleld came back and won, 9 to 7 and as Philadelphia beat Chicago 4 to 3 in 11 innings, the American league situation resolved back to its day be- fore status.

'EACH CREW IS TRYING 10 AVOID GREAT HEAT Both Warvard and Yale Oarsmen Have Finished Their Practice for Big Contest Tomorrow New London, June 21.—Effort to avoid the effects of the intense heat was the principal task confronting the Zale and Harvard crews today. With the routine practice finished, the oars- men of both camps awaited tomor- row's regatta hoping the weather would be cooler for races. The fresh- man race is scheduled for 10:45 a. m. daylight saving time and the junior varsity for 11:15. Both these events are to he rowed up-stream over the two miles course on the Thames. The big race between the varsity eights is scheduled for 7 p. m. daylight saving time, down-stream over thé four mile course. Referee Willlam J. Meikleham is to watch the crews go through racing starts today, which will constitute the only work done for the men. The referee will instruct the oaremen in the rules for starts. Eight oared crews of Yale and Harvard meet today in the usual pre- liminary event of the regatta. Church- |11 Peters, '20, will be stroke of the Yale grads and Cutler will pull that oar in the Crimson shell. Captain Ladd of Harvard won all the tosses for position last night. He announced that Harvard would row in the west lane in the two morning races tomorrow and on the east side of the river in the varsity race. Worum Disposes of His Holdings on Columbus Club Columbus, O, June 21.—Clarence M. Worum, Columbus attorney who has been acting as president of the Columbus eclub of the American asso- elation since the club was purchased a few weeks ago from Thomas E. Wil- son of Chicago has resigned and dis- posed of his holdings it became known here today. His successor probably will be selected at a meeting of the board of directors either today or to- morrow. Considerable difticulty is be- ing experienced according to local sportsmen in the effort of the backers of the club to dispose of §400,000 worth of stock, the money to be used in refinancing the club. Yale added another | WORLD SERIES FAME PASSES SOON; FORMER HEROES ALMOST FORGOTTEN | { | ‘ By Bllly Evans Thres world serles heroes, Johnny Rawlings, Jesse Barnes and Hank Gowdy, recently passed through the alsle of the trade market, John Willlam Rawlings, who choked the last ounce of life out of the New York Yankees when the | Giants won the 1921 series from their American League rivals, has depart- ed from the family of John J. Me- Graw. | There have been others before Rawlings and the recent transfer strengthens the trade-mark in base- ball. It reads: “It isn't what you were but what |you are." The Pittsburgh Pirates now own Rawlings, having obtained him re- cently in a trapsfer with the Phillies when they pacted with Pitecher Giaz-| |ner and Infieldes Tierney and also drew Pitcher Le> Meadows. One Play Wins Fame The Phillies drew Rawlings from the Glants via purchase and were forced to arrange a trade for him when he refussl to asenciate himeelf with the Natienal League tall-enders. The play that turned Rawlings from obscurity to fame -wvas the last thriller in the final game in 1921, The Giants had won four and the Yankees three as they teed up in the eighth battle. It was a battle, too, with Art Nehf Three American Women in French Golf Tournament Chantilly, France, June 21.—Thirty- four women golfers including three Americans will compete in the inter- national women's golf championship beginning here next Monday. The en- try list closed last night. Mrs. A, B. Graves of Fontainebleau, Miss Fair- banks of Dieppe and Mrs. Waddell of Chantilly, the three Amerlcans enter- ed have resided in France for many years, but are hardly believed to have a chance to reach the semi-finals, The other players are French and Eng- lish.

National Leaguers scored one run in the open- ing Inning and that was their lead, 1 to 0, when the ninth opened. Ruth, a cripple, was hauled out of the coop to start a winning rally but was retired on a grounder to Kelly. Ward next drew a walk. Frank Bak- er put on the hit-and-run play and drove a grounder that was bound for right field when midget Rawlings went fast to his left, and with a nose dive skidding along the ground, came up with the ball, and tossed to Kelly a step anead of Baker. Made Thrilling Finish Ward was racing on his way to third base and Kelly with his back to the play heard Rawlings shout: “Third base, Fred, third base !” Without looking Kelly fired his re- lay to third base. It was a trifle high, but Frisch, leaping in the air, stabbed the ball and tagged Ward, who was sliding for the bag, a spectacular double play at a big moment, Jesse Barnes, the pitching hero of the 1921 serles, goes,back to Boston. It was Barnes, not figured good enough to start, who stopped the Yanks dead in two games in which he agted as relief pitcher and won. Hank Gowdy, the big star of the 1914 series, in which his great work featured the four straight wins of the Boston Braves over the Athletics, goes back to the Glants, 7hat ought to please Hank.

Taber established the world's record of 4 minutes 12 3.5 seconds for the mile in 1815, falled yesterday in a great effort to break the mark. Ray's time was 4 minutes 15 1-5 seconds, He has twice run the distance in less time. “Soapy" Waters of Harvard was given a handicap of 150 yards and he made the running for the Chicagoan in the last quarter, He did not suc- ceed in getting all the running out of Ray's system, however, as the latter was comparatively fresh at the finish. J. V. Harrls and Al Coburn with handicaps of 110 and 85 yards, re- spectively, made the running in the first half. BIG BEN ARRIVES, READY T0 BOX WITH J. DEMPSEY Seven Foot Oklahoma Youth at Jack's Camp Anxious to Don the Padded Gloves By The Associated Pross. Great Falls, Mont,, June 21.—Jack Dempsey is looking forward with an- ticipatory grin to boxing with “Big Ben" Wray, 24 years old, who arrived here from Sayre, Okla., with a erav- ing to trade a few punches. Wray is seven feet two inches tall or as he puts it "six feet, 14 inches.” Two months ago Wray was a cow- boy and oll rigger down in Oklahoma. He never had a glove tled to his wrists. Three weeks ago he knocked out Tex McCarthy and when Tex, a fairly good heavyweight came to his first act was to sign as Wray's mana- ger. Previous to knocking out Me- Carthy “Big Ben" had three fights. They all ended within four rounds with Wray looking down seven feet two inches to where the prostrate forms of his victims decorated resined canvas. Carl Morris, the Sapulpa glant and original white hope was stopped in four rounds. Wray has a phenomenal reach of 87 inches and tips the beam at 2560 pounds. Previ- ous to the last 30 days of training he scaled 291 pounds. The champion has begun to taper off hia training boxing only four rounds yesterday.

Yale today, is reported as somewhat of a favorite over Harvard in their annual race on the river Thames, at tomorrow. Harvard, however, has won the toss and h the cholce of positions which 1is slight advantage. Each crew realiz [that there is a tough race ahead and but few predictions are being made though, of course, each crew is eon- fident. These two universities have been |rivals on the river for more than a half century and more than 50 crews have pulled their way over the four mile course, cither at New London or some other hody of water Today, Yale admittedly has one of the finest crews in her rowing history, the men |having rounded into wonderful form under the guidance of Ed Leader, for- merly coach at the University of Washington. Incidentally, the crew uses an original L siroke. The Blue eight has already beaten such great crews as Columblia, Cornell, U. of P., and Princeton. Harvard, however, is not to be taken too lightly and the Crimson has a far stronger eight than faced Yale a year ago when the sons of Elf won by three lengths. Anyway, past ex- periences have shown that pre-race records avail little when the two meet for both Yale and Harvard are only at their best when competing against each other. The ctanding at present gives Yale ene more win than Harvard in the long string of races since the first in 1852, as up to 1922 each had taken 27 victories. Although it may have béen forgot- ten, all racés have not been rowed on |the Thames For instance, the first |one was over the T.ake Winnepesau- kee, N. H., course. Others have been rowed on the Connccticut river at Springfield. On Lake Quinsigamond at Worcester, Lake Saltonstall at New |Haven and on the Housatonic at Der- iby. | "Also, it is interesting to note that all during the Civil and Spanish-Am- erican wars the races were rowed each year without a break and the only break in the long string came in 11917 when the World War claimed so many college athletes that college ath- letics were virtually abandoned. At the present time the fastest time ever made in this contest was by Har- vard in 1916 when the Crimson flash- ed over the line in 20:02 | | YESTERDAY'S FOMERS Hellmann, Tygers .
