Speaking of Sports At & confereqce staged yesterday, plans for the reorganisation ‘of the Rotary Boys' lesgus were made. Gerald McCourt, manager of the eircuit last year, will again be in charge. The league play will start about the ‘second wesk in July and the same -rules that have prevailed in former years. Will be in effect again this yéar. Boys 14 years and un- der will be eligible and these will be ‘mémbers of the various teams to be selected according to the en- tries 'in ‘the.league last season, Playground directors will be noti- fied ‘of the resumption of play in the league. Manager McCourt stat- od today that the reason for the| early start in the plans was so that the playground directors, who wiil also be the team managers. will be able to get the birth certificates of their players in'on time, The rule with regard to the birth certificates will be enforced to the limit this season and no boy whose \ge exceeds the limit allowed by the vcu will be allowed to play on y the teams. Another meeting to further the pltns will be held next Friday aft- ernoon. ttorney Al Greenberg evidently 't very convincing about his ¢3 ln’ igolt scored at Sequin the other day. According to the number of tel- ephone calls the next day, there were ‘many members of the legal atérnity in the ity who didn’t be- lieve that he was capable of doing one hole in ¢3 much less nine. Hatry Ginsburg than whom there is no better or more loyal rooter of Dear Old Fordham, has a new idea in his crop. It happens that there are just nine Fordham lawyers in the city and Harry has selected them as a Boft Ball bhaseball team and he has challenged the entire city to a game. He seeks to get the legal fraternity to get up a team as opposition, then the doctors. then the business men and any others in- terested. There will be some hot times in the old town if these games ever go throu “Tubby" Beloin is home from Fordham undecided what to do about next year. It is very probable that “Tubby" will be named as an aisistant coach for football at Ford- ham next season, although the ap- pointment has not yet been made. ‘The Junior City League opens Monday night at Walnut Hill park with the Y. M. C. A. team playing the Colliers. The game is scheduled to start promptly at 6:15 o'clock. - HOME RUN CLUB By the United Press. Gehrig, Yankees, 17. Klein, Phillies, 15. Hafey, Cardinals, 15.

Leo coupled 71 and 69 in the first two rounds of the British open to head the ligt at the half-way mark, only to run into a heart breaking 82 on his third round, followed by a closing 77 to give him third place, trailing Walter Hagen and Johnny Farrell. The nervous Diegel. who some- times runs after his ball in an im- patient effort to get the next shot over with in a hurry, did not crack up in the professional champion- | ship of the United States last year when he ended a four year reign by Walter Hagen. The player with the queerest putting stance in golf removed the great Hagen from the competition with a two and one de- feat in the third round, and then went on to victory with little ef- fort, disposing of Gene Sarazen 9 and 8 in the semi-finals and Al Espinosa, six and five, in the final. Diegel has won the Canadian open title three times. He finished with a sparkling 68 to win the crown last year from the finest field ever assembled for the event. He made his most sensational bid United 8tates the first time he played when he finished in a tie for second in 1920 with a score of 296, one more than that returned by Ted Ray, who took the title to Great Britain that year. He was tied for third in 1926 and in his seven other excursions in search of the elusive title he has not been a serious contended. He has finished as low as a tie for twenty-ninth and has tied for eighteenth and twenty-fifth places. Diegel. who has roamed all over the United States in following his | | LEO DIEGEL profession, is now officially regis- tered from Agua Caliente, Mexico. Diegel is very young to have played so much golf in so many places. He celebrated his thirtieth birthday during the playing of the Ryder cup matches at Moortown, England, and made the event note- worthy by contributing one of the two victories the United States players were able to score in the singles. Abe Mitchell fell' before the sensational Leo, which was not surprising, as the American scored an approximate 65. INBATTLE TODAY Sixteen of Country’s Crack| Racérs Race in American Derby Chicago, June 15 (#—Turf glory and $50,000 in added money beck- oned 16 of the country’s crack three | year olds today in the twenty-first | running of the American Derby at| Washington Park. Seventy-five | thousand lovers of the sport were expected to witness the struggle. | The stake, once the outstanding | race event of the country, lacked only Blue Larkspur, Edward R. Bradley's winner of the Belmont stakes, of the outstanding three year olds of the season. Clyde Van Dusen, sturdy little son | of Man O'War, winner of the Ken- tucky Derby, was favored to take | the Chicago classic, largely because of a heavy track, similar in condi- tion to the one on which he emerged victor in the Blue Grass fixture 1 month ago. However, Naisapr, which finished second to Clyde Van Dusen in the Kentucky Derby and won the Tiajuana Derby; Karl Eitel, winner of the Fairmount Derby in | muddy going; Windy City and Dr. Freeland, winner of the Preakness, were highly favored. R. T. Wilson's African, W. J. Sal- mon's Dr. Freeland. and Edward B. McLean's Silverdale were to carry the hope of the east against the west's hest. Dr. Freeland won a| good reputation as a mud runner when a two year old. In the draw for post positions Dr. Freeland was most fortunate of the favored entrants, drawing number three. 8. Karl Eitel was number seven, Naishapure number nine, with Clyde Van Dusen number 12. Clyde Van Dusen. Dr. Freeland. Naishapur and Karl Eitel were to carry top weight of 126 pounds. while Dail, an eastern entry of W. R. Coe, still a maiden, was listed |at 114 pounds. | In the saddle in which L. McAtze brought Clyde Van Dusen home v Itory at Churchill Downs, Willie Gar- ner was to ride, with L. Shaefer riding Dr. Freeland, C. E. Allen on Naishapur, R. Leonard on African, and L. McDermott on Windy City. FIGHTS LAST NIGHT By the Associated Press. Eau Claife, Wis.—Harry Kahn. Milwaukee, technically knocked out Reddy Blanchard, Battle Creek (6).

Calloway is the clever pro of the | Pequabuck Country club and a close | personal friend® of Jack Redmond. These two will probably be pitted | against the Bristol local st#vs, Peter | Manning, protessional of Chippanee, | who has just qualified at Worcester for the national open championship | and Herbert Lagerblade, well known | vice president of the Horton Manu- facturing company, designer of the | Chippanee and other golf courses and a player of considerable re- I mown, 1 | Following the match Jack Red- mond assisted by two girls of his company will give an hour's exhibi- | tion of trick shots. Mr. Redmond is considered in almost every respect | | the equal of the famous Jack Kirk- | | wood and will show his absolute | | mastery of every stroke, includln‘{ | the hooks and slices which are the | bane of the average golfer.

Extensive committees have been formed for taking care of the crowds for each of the events and to eliminate confusion on the final day. tickets are now being distribut- ed to club members at their re- spective offices.

Along With the roses. moons, and what have you, June =zlso brings other things, not sung about by the poets. It is the month when the jeweler rubs his hands and lets a contented smile play over his tface. For June, with the cther things, is jalso notorious for June brides and | cach June bride requires a plain gold band, if not a diamond. In iact the ring market, even be- fore June, gets decidedly bullish, and therc is not a bear movement until the latter part of September. when the sweet young things who once were thinking about marriage begin to fear that they will not get a new fur coat for the winter. “The antics of the questing male, when he comes in for the ring, are —well, ludicrovs. He hems and he haws, and fools around. One young- ster I know started in by asking to look at collar pins.
