ASEBALL dress rehearsals are, going right along despite the fact that the Giants and the Robins made a plumb bust of their plans to give the loyal home. boys. a treat over Sunday. iA The Giants took a final trimming at the bands of the White Sox, our Mr. Pet Shea being right, smartly shot apart in the sevgnth inning, It came just as our loyalists were get- ting ready to stretch and say “‘heigh- ho." They did stretch, at that, but the score of 3'to 2 against us stood. In the ‘mean time'the Robins, while still trying to explain how it came that they won down South and got nicked at home, set themselves up ‘and got mauled again. Sunday plans at the Polo Grounds and Ebbets’ Field were practically ruined by the homeless Yanks and the Wandering Sox. Just the same, preparations for the big opening on ‘Wednesday go right on undiminished. The Giants enter collegiate circles to-day,and take on the Fordham team. The Yanks, have still another chance to kill the ruingrs that they got licked to a fare-you-well dr wn in ‘Dixie,and will finish up their, third .game with the Robins at Hb- bets Field. The World's Champs and their loyal supporters were right smartly. taken back yesterday. The way things were going when Jess Barnes was pitching and Ralph Sbinners was. hitting made it look nice and pleas-)| ant. But when they took Jesn’ out to let us see Pat Shea the Sdx, rebelled.

In regard. to. the present athletic situation in the college, Dr. Spaeth ‘said that, “If our ideal was to prevent athletics from interfering with studies, we ‘ought to have all our baseball games in the summer, football during a long Thanksgiving vacation and rowing after commencement.”’ “But that is not our ideal,"’ he con- tinued, “The value of athletics is that they offer a legitimate change from studies, both for the players and the spectators, just as studies offer a legitimate change from athletics. 1 don't believe in athletics without stud- {es any more than I believe in studies without athletics of some kind, Men now go from an orgy of cramming for football to an orgy of cramming for academic tests, “IT believe in wholesome alternation every day between strenuous intellec- tual. work and strenuons physical work of some kind.

Yankees Take Big Brace By Thornton Fisher 18 PRINCETON And Defeat the Dodgers In Two Straight Games The New York Pitchers, Es- pecially Mays, Display Mid- Season Form, By Robert Boyd. HE atmosphere of the big town ap they, repregent, that is written prominently across their gray travelling uniforms, has evidently in- tilled a winning spirit in the Yankee players. When they rolled into our midst from their spring sojourn below the Mason-Dixon line Wilbert Robin- son's scrappy Dodger team was show-' ing the American League champions up before the fandom of the South. In the pre-season exhibition games before the Yankees and the Robins opened up at Ebbet's Field Saturday afternoon, the standing was eight. to three games in favor of the team from across the river. But the Yankees have taken two straight games from Squire Ebbets’s hustling 1922 Dodg- erd-not ‘because they’ played superior baseball—but because they received better pitching. It reminded the 35,900 fans that have witnessed both games more of July twirling than pitching this early in the spring. Dutch Reuther, who has turned over & hew leaf, pitched like the great little southpaw he was when he helped thé Cincinnati Reds win a National League pennant and later a World's Series. In Saturday's game. he was on the mound for six innings and the best the Yankee batters could do with his, deceptive southpaw delivery, was four hits. Reuther’s performance Saturday on the mound and the way he has been shooting them over down South has re-established him solidly in the good graces of the Flatbush fans. . Rating second to Reuther's: mid- summer pitching was that of the il- YALE NINE AT MACON, GA., FOR THEIR SPRING TRAINING MACON, Ga,, April 10.—Thirty-eight candidates for the Yale baseball team are due to arrive here to-day for their spring training.
