That ts rather an Interesting quer tion, if the series In to be staged in 8t, Louls or New York, or both. It is well .known that the Polo grounds in New York and Sports mans’ park in St, Louls have a cur tailed playing field. Lazy fly balls that would be easy outs on many major league parks drop into the stands In New York and St. Louls for rather tainted home runs. ‘The short playing field at the Polo frounds did not play a part in the outcome of the 1921 series, How ever, it has played a prominent part in other world series staged there, Not so many years ago a two or threerun lead in @ world series would have been considered a com. manding margin to work on.

Hie first efforts be directed against gambling. “Betting at the conference games has been the cause of most of the scandals In athletics, and, Judgment, is the greatest evil tendant upon college athletics,” he said. “Directars of athletics of the ‘big ten’ conference have pledged their eupport in this move, and etu- dents and alumnt will be asked to help.” Major Griffith Indicated that he would seek to bring about a better understanding and appreciation of the value of competitive athtetios, to agsist in the enforcement of the conference eligibility rules and to study the athletic problems of the conference with a view to develop- ing better sportsmanship, improv- ing friendly relations among estu- dents and alumni and safeguarding competitive sports. the GOLF HOLDS NO BARS UP TO POP TIME Golf is the one major sport which may be played with profit and en. joyment by the young, middleaged and old. What a boon was the game for Cap Anson after retiring from #0 many seasons of strenuous baseball, It kept him young body and spirit and he came up to bis three-score years and ten with head up, alert and vigorous. Veritably he died in the harness, says Walter Camp. How will the present-day golfing how up when they approach ?
