Speaking of Sports There will be s great ao-l missing et 4he nine I:MI 'u‘:e:: Sunday when play M‘V “Miokey” Noonan be- hind the bat, “Starhead” Budnick on second, “Chucky” Wojack oa titird, and “Micky"” Huber in the Tield. ‘This quarter numbers among the most colorful players in the _elty. Noonan, especially, will be sorely issed by the team. His heady work behind the bat and his direc- | Boston tion of plays has made his services invaluable to the club. A question of money has caused his release, it 1 understood. ¥d Hurley, Hartford fight pro— moter, expects to land Tony zoneri to fight “Kid” Kaplan as the next outdoor attraction at Bulkeley Stadium in Hartford. This would be a blue-banner meeting for any date this summer, We have been asked to settle an argument that cropped up in a haseball game recently. The situa- tion is as follows. A man is on third bas: and another on second. The man on second, on a play, runs to third touchirg the bag and run- ning off the man alrcady there, The fielder throws the ball to the ecatcher and the catcher touches home wlate. Both runners return to their' respective bases, one at third and the other at second. A claims that the runner on third was forced at home. B claims that all hands are safe. H ~ B s right under the circum- stances and the rule governing the play is Rule 52 under Base Run- ning Rules and Legal Order of Bases. Section 3 of that rule reads “In case a runner is being run down betwecen bages and the follow- ing runner occupies the same base the first runner has left, the second man cannot be put out while hold- ing said base. It the first runnér, Jiowever, returns safely to the base he left. and both runners are then occupying the same base, the second runner is the man out, IF TOUCH- ED WITH THE BALL. The rule appears to be very clear with regard to the case in question. These arguments crop out every 80 often even among the veteran players and it is a good thing to look into the rvie book every once in a while. BY VERNE WICKHAM The golfer pictured in the tr-e here is simply making use of one of the golf rules which reads, “Yon can stand out of hounds and play a ball in bounds.” Remember the out of bounds sign only affects he ball. The out ‘of bounds limits are usu- ally well marked and the rules and penalties are well defined. The ball is out of bounds when the greater part of the ball lies in the restricted area. Then penalty. according to the U. £. G. A. rules, is stroke and distan unless otherwise defined by local or district association rules. Many golf associations simply pe- nalize a ball out of bounds by dis- tance only. It a ball Hes out of hounds, the player shall play his next stroke as nearly as posible at the spat from whieh the ball which is out 'of bounds was played, adding a penalty stroke to the score of the hole. If the stroke was played from the teeing ground, a ball may be teed; in all other cases, a ball should be dropped. Remember the rule provides for the playing of & provisional ball. Here 18 the rule: “In order to save stroke considers that his ball may delay, if a player after making a be out of hounds, he may at once play another ball in the manner pro- vided for in the rules, but if he dis- covers that the first ball is not out of bounds, it shall continue in play without penalty.” GOES INTO SEMI-FINALS Edgar Dawson of New York Scores " surprisc | Victory Over Framk shields in Tourney.

Three players and the non-play- lln: captain, Fitz-Eugene Dixon of i{Philadelphia, sailed last night board the Berengaria. The playing delegation at sea consists of John Hennessey of Indianapolis, John Van Ryn of East Orange, N. J., and Wel- mer Allison of Fort Worth, Tex. The veterans of past years, Big Rill Tilden and Frank Hupter, al- ready are in Europe. The sixth play- ing member, George Lott, has been detained by his studies at the Uni- versity of Chicago and will follow the team next week. Out of this wealth of material, all ef it good, although several of the players had no Davis cup expers icnce before this year, the combina- tion, or combinations, which will op- rose the winner of . the European zone competition in the challenge round a week later must be chosen. Few plans have been made so far and even Dixon seems not to know what his lkely choices will be, but two things seem almost certain. One Is that Tilden will make a last gallant effort by taking one of the singles posts, the other that the makeup of the rest of the teams depends largely on the showing the men make in the Wim- bledon championships and in a team match against Spain early in July. With his long stay in Europe to get him in top form, it seems sure that Big Bill will be able to equal last year's singles showing when he scored the only victory for ihe United States. Without the strain of rlaying on three,successive days Til- den may be able to better it. Hunter, figured at first as the other probable singles choice, now seems to be the outsider. An exceptional showing at Wimbledon appears the only thing ! that will give the New Rochelle publisher the call over the younger players. Hennessey, Lott and Van Ryn are | the three other possibilitics with much depending on what pair is ichosen for the doubles. Smiling Johnny from Indianapolis made a gallant attempt last year but lost to both of the men he would have to meet if chosen again. In the doubles he has been teaming with Lott while the younger members, Van Ryn and Allison have been working together with much success. The mid-western pair scored bril- liant victories last season in winning the national doubles title althongh opinions have been expressed that they would be easy victims of the French if they pitted their lobbing game against ' Cochet and Borotra. Van Ryn and Alliso. have the great handicap of comparative inexper- ience. Hennessey. who did most of the talking for the team before its de- parture lest night, was inclined to favor lott as the second singles plaver. “When he is playing his Dbest game Lott is a wonder,” he said. “He is much steadier than last year. His tennis has matured. T found that out when I plaved him in Detroit.” 8o far as the interzone final is concerned, few fears were expressed by members of the tcam or any of the tennis fajthful who gathered for la farewell dinner. Although eight nations are left in the running in the European zone, England and Italy are the only ones to get much gon- sideration. Hennessyy expressed the belief that Great Britain would be the successful competitor. *T believe England will beat out Ttaly for the right to play us” he said, “As T see it De Morpurgo will win both his singles matches but his comnanion will lose both of his and the English will take the doubles.” AGAIN WINS TITLE Maurcen Orcutt Will Hold Eastern Women's Golf Championship for Another Year. Philadelphia, June 6 (UP)—Miss Maureen Orcutt will hold the wom- en's eastern golf championship for another year. Totalling 241 for the 54 holes of championship competition over the Aronimink club course here, Miss Orcutt clinched the title for the sec- ond consecutive year. In second place was Miss Helen Hicks, Inwood, N. Y., who totalled 247. Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd, only woman ever to hold both the Amer- ican and British women's golf titles, was third with 250. She set a new course record with a 77 yesterday.

Instead he accepted a job waiting on table and tending a furnace for his board and room at an Towa fraternity with the understanding he would join the fraternity.” Spradling’'s reported testimony supports the charge made by Ever- | ett Case, Frankfort, Indiana, high school basketball coach that Lam- bert went to Spradling's home to | persuade him from matriculating at Towa two hours before he was to leave. i Case was to reveal his charges that Purdue was guilty of proselyt: ing and subsidizing athletes before John L. Griffith, Big Ten athletic commissioner, at Chicago today. PURDLE IS NOW T0 BE EXAMINED Big Ten Spotlight Brought to Play by New Charges Chicago, June 8 (®—The Big Ten volcano today rumbled and seethed with indications of sceond major eruption.

President Bdward C. Elliott of Purdue and Nelson A.

Lambert could not be reached. having started by automobile for Pullman, Wash., where he is to con- duct a summer coaching course. At Towa City, officials of the uni- versity of Towa were going about the business of cleaning house. E. H. Lauer, director of athletics, said no charges had been made against in- dividual athletes, but that he would make a trin ao Chicago to learn if Major Griftith had evidence against any Towa men. Griffith said he contemplated no action against Jowa athletes or of- ficials. Lauer also said that the spe- cial committee of the Big Ten fac- ulty body, which yesterday denied Towa's petition for immediate rein- statement, had not asked that George Bresnahan. track coach and supervisor of intercollegiate ath- letics, be removed.

KID CHOCOLATE GIVEN DECISION Sharp Dilierence of Opinion Be- {ween Judges and Referee Philadelvhia, June 6 UP—Sharp | Gilference of opinion between judges and referce formed a foundation upon which many an argument was Luilt to as to which boy cstab- lished a margin of supremacy in ten tempestuous rounds last night be- wween Kid Chocolate, Cuba's fistic scnsation, and Vidal Gregorio, fiery Spanish ~ bantamweight title-con- tender. Chocolate kept his unblemished ring record unsullied when he won | the decision, but it was Gregorio who was the idol of the crowd of riore than 20,000 persons at Shibe .. The fancy of the epeciators d by the .courageous | ack of the little Spaniard | and at the conclusion of the ten | reunds the rabid thrill-seekers Just- ily hooted their derision of the de- cision, | The two judges voted for Choco- | late, while Referce Tommy Reilly | st his hallot for Greggrio. A chor- | us of protests that equalled the carly showers of rain descended |upon the field with the decision | announcement, »nd it stopped only | when the fiery Gregorio took a bow in mid-ring. - A mighty ovation grected the dancing, bowing little toreador. Tmmed Gutieni: ately after the jam, Louis manager of Chocolate, an- nounced that his charge had injured both of his thumbs in the fourth period. The injuries, he said, would compel Chocolate to cancel a num- wcr of engagements arranged for Rim. The injured thumbs evidently did not hother the Cuban, for he con- tinued to whang away with hoth fists right up to the finish. Fans commented that it didn't look at all as though the Kid had anything the matter with him from the tips of is fingers to the ends of his toes. Chocolate weighed 119% pounds | and Gregorio weighed 1171 | After Gregorio had pelted the col- { orcd hoy about the hody to take the | ! first round, the Kid snared the sec I eeney and the other |is expected to result ond, out-boxing and out-punching the overseas = ringster. The third w an even number and Vi- da flashing tists won him the fourth. Checolate had a slight mar- gin in the fifth, sixth, and seventh. Gregorio’s offensive gave him the edge in the next two rounds. Cho- ! colate won the final round. ! The fight might have been one of those Battling Nelson-Joe Gans en- counters of yore, so similar was the type of battling of the two little bantamweights of the present day to the method of fighting employed by the celebrated fistmen of yester- year. Chocolate played the role of Gans. while Gregoric, dashing, courageous, and with a stout body and stout heart, Nelson.
