Speaking of Sports Waite Hoyt was knicked out of the box by the Bislerites yesterday as the Vanks went down te defeat. Other games resulted in victories for Bos ton, the Senators and the Athleties, Those pesky Athletics seem to he the worst stumbling block with whom the Cobbmen have to contend, The Tygers can whip the Yankees | with impunity, but against the tail. enders they aré almost helpless, Dazzy Vance copped his twentisth vietory yesterday and added eight | more to his strike out record, | The Giants' lead was eut down yes terday when the contending Pirates gave them a trimming, The Corsairs today are back in the class of olden days when Honus Wag nér was with them and they always were within striking distance of the old flag, Luis Angel Firpo, business man and boxer, is now a student of English, The burley Argentine has pur- chased a dictionary and studies it as sidiously so that he ma be better equipped to carry on his varoius ac tivities here, Last year Firpo found himself fre. | quently at a digadvantage, converss tionally, when conducting negotintions in this country, Now he speaks com- paratively fluent English, Mode Heoldsworth, Big Ten golf champion, found Michigan competi- tion harder than in the Western Con ference, TIn the racent state amateur tournament he failed to get in with | the first 32 qualifiers, A National league umpire who gave the decision, then reversed himself, has in turn been reversed by President Heydler, As far as we know, this may be exactly how the original recipe for chop suey was concelved. You can appreciate the ElgeENS a whole lot better after a long siege the rough. And this goes for life well as golf. 5 as In just another month or so the headlines will be singing “Cornell Outleok Gloomy,” “Yale Fears Mill- saps,” “Nebraska's Hopes Shot,” ete. Next to the professional optimist of the prize ring who Is always confident of victory, the guy who pains us most is the professional pessimist of the gridiron who always expects to be de- feated, Don't let anyone tell you the Eng- lish can't see a joke, More than 80,- 000 of them went to see Jack Bloom- field get knocked out, Golf has it all over grand opera. | The feminine stars of the links are always worth a furtive glance or two. This is the time of the year when ome doubts the sincerity of the pop- eyed fan who throws his old straw lid out on the diamond cheering a home run hitter. The Boston fans are In a sorry fix. The Red Sox are last and they can't blame it on Harry Irazee. If Mr. McGraw's baseball tourists plan to visit Australia, perhaps he had best leave Jumping Joe Dugan be- hind. Mr. McGraw might never be able to pérsuade him to leave the kangaroos. When you hear the shingled silly of today say “My John's got a swell line, you find yourself guessing whather he's a foothall coach or a hammock Romeo. The Falcons practice tonight at St. Mary’'s field in preparation for Sun- day!'s game. Jarvis, who was out of the game last week, is back in the lineup. Jaglowski also is ready to take his turn in the box. Art Johnson, a Torrington cast-off,+ and Tom Tracy, a Bristql cast-off, will oppose cach other in the first game at St. Mary's tomorrow between the Besses and Meriden, Both have rounded into excellent form, In the second game Young “1d" Walsh will oppose Scott, Both are right handers and each has a world of &peed. .

Wood, spokesman for 4he union.
