Ciezynski, and will become a dentist. &he is a third year student at Tufts Dental college and is the only young lady out of a class of 70. All the others are young men. Although emeshed in the web of studies which attends the course, Miss Clezynski manages to find time to still enter swimming meets and she very often carries off prizes. She first attracted attention as a swimmer about six years ago while a student at the New Britain high school. At that time, the New Ha- ven Swimming club staged a three- mile race and Jean entered. She spent several weeks in training and she engaged a pilot. The pilot deserted her but, noth- ing daunted, she started without a pilot and went the entire distance with no one to guide her. She soon got out in front and was never head- ed. It was her first and her greatest triumph. She soon got into a class all by herself and competition was scarce. Then she took to diving. 8he entered all sorts of meets and in short time, she was diving champion along with being the title holder among the swimmers. After graduating from the local high school, she decided to follow in her brother's footsteps. She entered Tufts but she was urged to keep at swimming. She joined the Boston Swimming association and in the past three years has won many cups and medals. A week ago she won the junior diving championship at Lynn, Mass., and it is predicted that, be- fcre long, she will win the coveted scnlor honors. cation in Island Brionl London, April 16 (M—Mutual friends of George Bernard 8haw and Gene Tunney today belleved several interesting discussions lay ahead of the two celebrities, who both, possi- bly by chance, will spend the next few days on the Island of Brioni in the northern Adriatic. The possibility of the two wives, Mrs. S8haw and the former Polly Lauder, finding one another interest- ing companions, also was suggested. Mr. and Mrs. Shaw left London yesterday for Brioni for a month's stay. Mr. and Mrs. Tunney are spending a week on the same island. Last August the playwright was quoted a saying he would be “de- lighted” to meet the former heavy- weight champion. “All T know s that he disapproves of ‘Cashel By- ron's Profession’ (a work of Shaw's in which he discusses a hypothetical marriage of a pugilist and aristocra- tic woman),” Shaw said at the time. “So do 1.

(BY JIGGER) A few veurs agc critics of Ameri- can life were leveling their shafts at an aspect of sports which offered a wide-open mark. They told us that Wwe were a nation of spectators. They said we took our games and exer- cise vicariously. They marshalled hosts of figures to prove their point. 8o many thousands followed professional baseball. The crowds that attended college football provided ammuni- tion for their guns. They pointed to the “sell outs” at prize fighting events as evidence of their conten- tion. Probably they were right. The tremendous increase in urban popu- lation crowded the cities. There was little room left for play. A changed mode of living deprived men of the exercise that they got naturally in| the course of their daily duties, when they were living in other than the surroundings of the office build- ing and the apartment house. But the inherent competitive spirit | would not be downed and when it showed up in the grandstand and bleachers. It was the throat muscles | that got the exercise. Competition | could only be had as it was reflected from the field and arena. The war provided a throw-back more primitive conditions. Men lived in the open, fought and played. In the 10 years since they | came back, sports have strode on more gloriously and folks have moved to new paths, The Golf Course The open road crossed the golf course. The new devotees of exer- cise got a close-up of green sward | and the emerald velvet of close-| cropped grass. The fairways and it is true today that golf is the Ereatest outdoor game in this coun- try. Though indoor and outdoor sports criticism that we are only an au- dience is not valid. We will turn out over the fence, trail with our alma mater if Cagle is in the line-up, travel to Madison Square Garden or Miami to see the maulers fight and even follow around in the wake of champion golfers as they shoot their stuff. But from April Fool's day to Hal- lowe'en or Thanksgiving. the great golfing pack struggles from rough to sand traps. tops its irons and flops its drives, altogether satisfied that the game is tough e¢nough to be called a “he man’s” sport. Exercise and Play Tt has proved to be the best com- bination of exercise and play man has yet invented. In it there is some- thing that satisfies that primal de- sire of man for open-air competi- tion. On ghe golf course he Adopted by Legislature Harrisburg, Pa..

No referee ever lived who could satisfy everyone and most gen- erally, the referee is wrong in these days of sentimental judgment in a prize fight ring. N 014 timers who followed the fight Giants the Cardinals and the White | record. game in the same hall on Church street that is now being used, tell us that Willis was the one and only referee upon whom the gamblers in those days would depend for an hon- est decision in a fight. The story goes that when any other referee but Willis was in the ring, the bets were off. With Willis in, the bets were on and the loser took his beating with the invariable remark, “Well, I got an honest shake, anyway.” As the years passed and the fight game flourished, Willis had the con- fidence of the public so tightly held that one night, when he was intro- auced as “Honest John" Willis, the name fitted good and it has stuck every since. We do not always agree with Wil- lis when he renders his verdicts but we have secen many a referee, with a big reputation, who couldn’t hold a candle to him. Then again, there are just as many who think he is right as there are those who think he is wrong. ‘The performances of some of those who feel that they would like to arbitrate in the ring, has furnished many of the fans with a comparison between them and Willis and we know of several who have changed their attitude toward the old timer. ‘They now think Johnny is a pretty good official. A party composed of Thomas Quinlivan, Bob Carlson, Gus Nelson, Roy Spencer and Emil Nelson, one of the ‘“deck-hands” at city hall, went on a trout fishing expedition to Canton, yesterday.

ENTER MARATHON Three More Long Distance Veterans Have Joined Field for Boston Event Friday. Boston, April 16 (UP)—Three more long distance veterans today had joined the field for the Boston A. A. marathon to be run Friday be- tween Hopkinton and this city, in- creasing the entry list to 158. About 200 runners ars expected to start. Among the 33 entries received yes- terday were the names of Karl Kos- ki and Willie Kyronen, both of the Finish- American A. C. of New York, and Carl W. Linder of the Boston A. A. Clarence De Mar, six-time- winner of the event, and Johnny Miles of Hamilton, Ont., who fin- fshed first in 1926, already had en- tered. tion to make talking moving pic- tures. Hammerstein said that those associated with him in the venture were Arthur Hopkins, Sam Harris, George E. White, Lawrence Webber and Winthrop Ames. Hammerstein, who was here in connection with the opening of a new musical comedy, said that ne- gotiations were Dbeing carried on! with the Radio Corporation of America, and the present plan is to make the movies at the corporation studio at New York. Dorothy Dalton, former movie ae- tress and now Mrs. Hammerstein, will probably star in the first “talk- je” of the new corporation, Hara merstein said. SEEKS FRANCHISE Paddy Harmon is Attempting to Purchase Pittsburgh Pirates Icc Hockey Club. Detroit, April 16 (UP)—Paddy Harmon, Chicago fight promoter, is attempting to buy the franchise of the Pittshugrh Pirates, one of the clubs in the National Hockey league. Harmon conferred at length with the governors of the league at a meeting here last night, but refused to pay $200,000, the asking price for the Pittsburgh club. He said he was hopeful of obtaining the franchise. The Montreal Maroons purchased Mike Neville and Jack Arbur of the Windsor Bull Dogs, who retain an option on the two players in case the initial outlay for constructing a course has been met. Of course it Is often otherwise in country clubs, hut in them, other considerations than golf for its own sake or for the purpose of exercise, hold sway. A fair player could go to Good- | win Park with a golf outfit costing | five dollars, play with a quarter | ball and turn in a tolerable score if | he were hitting the old pill on the | nose and sinking his putts the day | he chose for the experiment. i The same man might play with a | hundred dollar outfit at Shuttle Mea- dow or Sequin, use dollar balls and, it his game was not clicking. make | a terrible showing.
