Babe Ruth hit his 15th and 16th home runs of the son while “Jumping Joe" also smashed out two. Rube Wal- berg, Eddie Rommel and Daney were pounded for 15 hits. Waite Hoyt turned in a neat eight-hit per- formance for the champion: Forty thousand saw the double bill.

May 26 (P — Given weather conditions as good today as they were for the trials, Sabin Carr of Dubuque, Towa, Yale's | great pole-vaulter, “will win the in- tercollegiate title again and break the world's record,” in the opinion of his coach, Al McGall. “Carr has rounded into wonderful | form. He is at his best when the competition is hot and it will take over 14 fcet to beat him,” McGall predicted. | Carr beat his two foremost rivals, | Lee Barnes of Southern California and Ward Edmonds of Stanford, last year by clearing 14 fect for the first time in athletic history. Sub- sequently he vaulted 14 feet 1 inch | indoors but Barnes, this spring, sail- ed 14 feet, 1% inches.
