- Betting on Horses. j By Robert Boyd. BOSTON, Mass., June 27,—‘'Ball- players cannot bet on the horse races. stay, up late at night to witness the “@lories of an early morning sunrise ‘amd expect to play good baseball,"’ @aid Judge Kennesaw M. Landis to tHe players of both the Yankee and Red Sox teams at Fenway Park. “Good baseball,” remarked the Judge, “that is what each of you athletes are getting paid large salaries ‘for, for you are no different than the @ay laborer who toils 8 hours a day digging @ ditch. “You receive more money for your @Mdeavors, but like the laborer you ‘Must give in return the best you have. If the laborer spent the whole night waiting to see the glories of nature {fm an early morning sunrise he would be unable to work the next day. Ball Players are no different. They cannot @ive their best if they, do not keep regular hours.'’ “There are a few players, some of bered in this gathering here to-day who play the races, and view the rising glories of the early morning sun. It is hurting them and thetr playing. Millions of fans pay yearly to see you men perform—per- form at your best. When a player {e worrying about what he has un a certain race or what he has lost it affects his work in the fleld and at bat. He is not at hie best, neither oan he play if he has not had the Proper sleep. He is not 100 per vent eMcient. He may be down to 75 per cent. or 60, That is not what the fan pays for. He is paying to see ‘the player at his ‘best 100 per cent Brimeore. The players owe this not only to the fans of the nation but to themselves and their employers, “Do you know," shouted the Judge surveying the players “that there is a clause in your contract that demands that you players keep in the best Physical condition. If you don't ad- here to this you break your contract.” Judge Landis read the clause to re- mind the players of what he was re- ferring to. “I have traveled more thap 1,500 miles to talk to you players here to- Gay. If it were not necessary that I be here to-day I would be back in my office in Chicago. The occasion demanded that I come to ‘3oston to- day and speak to you men on what has been going on since the opening of the season. ‘For seventeen years I have pre- sided in the Federal Court. Nothing has touched me as much as me hav- ing to come so far to-day to tell you Mi piavers that you must behave in the ‘future. “Do you reallze the millions of peo- ple who never saw any of you play- @rs but whom you are idealized by? Think of those boys on the farm and Beacoast who only can read about you. If they knew how some of you men acted they would refuse to have anything to do with you. . ‘Baseball will be straight and clean when you and I are dead and forgot- ten. If you can't keep it clean, there fre others who can. ‘Remember now, boys, don't say I failed to warn you. The players who continue to disregard the laws of baseball will be placed on the in- eligible list for five years. There are some players here I may have occa- sion to suspend for five years. I will not tell them personally about their wuspension. The information will come direct from heacquarters in Chicago. Stars are not excepted in that edict either.” After addressing the players for thirty minutes the Commissioner of Baseball picked up his hat and cane and viewed the game from a box close , : : t JMDGE LANDS WARNING PROBABLY AIMED AT RUTH Baseball’s Big Chief Journeys to Boston From Chicago to De- mand Yanks and Red Sox Refrain From Late Hours and to the Red Sox dug-out.

By Joseph Gordon. ry3 HAT is the matter with Yale W athletics?’ was a question which only a few week ago deminated the conversation in all cir- cles interested in college sports. It worried partisans of the sons of Eli and furnished an interesting study to outside- observers. Meetings were called by the Chairman of the Ath- letic Board and a number of alumni organizations threatened to take a hand in the matter in an effort to “save"’ Yale athletics. Just a few days ago theBlue varaity crew repeated last year's miraculous victory over Harvard. It upset all predictions by showing great power and finesse and beating a supposedly superior Crimson eight. It was just a way the Yale athletes had of en- swering their critics and a “nothing” to the question of “What is the mat- ter with Yale athletics?’ This answer was emphasized more emphatically than ever at the Polo Grounds yesterday, when before a crowd of 10,000 enthusiastic rooters the Yale nine defeated Harvard, shut- ting them out 5 to 0, The Yale men were superior in the box, in the field and at bat. They held the Crimson at their mercy all the way. It was the third and final game of the annual seri@s between the two institutions, and the New Haven men made it two out of the three. Mack Aldrich, the captain of the Yale nine, dominated the contest. It his last game with the Blue, and his fielding at short made it an event that will not soon be forgotten. He is unquestionably one of the greatest college athletes in the game and Is just as important a factor in the Yale baseball organization as he was, for the past two years, in the footbail eleven. He made miraculous one- handed catches and handled his ten chances, as cleanly as any big league shortstop in the game. When Aldrich came up to bat for the last time all the Yale rooters ana many of the Harvard well-wishers, stood up and gave him a rousing fare- well. They waved their hats, cheered at the top of their voices and sang his praises to all the world. After the game, a group of the more en- thusiastic Yale rooters lifted Mack to their shoulders and carried him over to the Harvard stands to show him to the spectators who rooted against him. Harvard applauded the graduating star with a liberality that amounted to more than good sports- manship. Ted Chittenden held the mound for Yale and pitched a very fine game The breaks were with him, but he showed a lot of stuff on the ball and his hits were well scattered. Besides that he received very brilliant sup- port from his team-mates, who got him out of four embarrassing situa- tions. In two instances the bases were full with none out, but he managed to pull out without allowing his op- ponents to break in to the run col- umn Goods, Harvard's star right-hander, started for the Crimson, but was knocked out of the box after Yale scored three men in that inning and one in the second. Yale began its attack upon the luckless Goode with O'Hearn'’s double, Desibour walked and Aldrich beat out a bunt, filling the bases. Warren also walked and O'Hearn was forced in with a run, Eddy's single to right scored Desibour and Aldrich, At this juncture Goode was taken out and replaced by Rus- nell, who finished the game. Rusvell pitched weli enough, but the game was too far gone for him to be of sny material advantage to Harvard. It was rumored around the Polo Grounds yesterday that several major league teams are after Aldrich in effort to procure his services for next year, but that he had decided against a baschall career, Some of the best judges of players pronounce Aldrich one of the best shortstops and all- around ball piayers ever produced at an Americas university.

While not exactly a second Rogers Hornsby yet he looks like a pretty good third. Parkinson was really introduced in 1921, but didn’t get squarely in his stride until this spring. Another new bird on the Phillies is Leslie, the first baseman. He has been going great guns since the jump- off in April. One way or another this has been a great year for youngsters. Instead of budding as the morning glories in the spring they have bloomed right on through. Oddly enough every club in the two leagues has picked up one or more bright sparklers except the champions —Giants and Yanks, This is great for baseball in general but doesn’t make Charlie Stoneham or our two Colonels sleep nearly so well, For a while we thought McMillan of the Yanks and Shinners of the Giants, two very rare finds. Some- how, they have recently taken up More space on the bench than in the top section of the batting averages. They may come yet. Still, it so hap- pened that when our two clubs got right down to cases and had to have some hefty shoulders to the wheel the Yanks had to get Whitey Witt, well worn vet, and the Giants came up with Casey Stengel. Casey has been set adrift more than Captain Tom Robert's old fishing boat in the Great South Bay, but at last he has found a mooring and is popping home runs and out-heroing the noblest heroes of our day and time. Those boys are not youngsters. Just glance at this crop, though, and see how ‘bout it: Vance, Deberry and Bert Grimth of the Dodgers. Statz, Miller, Aldridge, Osborne and Steuland of the Cubs. Clark, Rigney, Pillette, Stoner of the Tigers. Traynor and Gooch of the Pirates. Caveney, Pinelli, Harper and Couch of the Reds. Goslin of the Senators; Heimach of the Athletics; Robertson of the White Sox. There are lots more, but that’s a good start. Take a look when tho clubs come around here and you'll see more big league material than you ever saw before in your life. Olsen and The clubs are getting pretty close to the half way mark now, the turning point, and it looks as if the Giants are bound to repeat. Even with their ragged playing of late they manage to pound their way ahead. Their pitching has been very wobbly, eae even with that nobody seems stop them. Once they get on a cath stride again those boys are likely to make the National League race a tow-rope affair. ‘The partial colla) of the Yanks is hailed with great joy throughout the American League, the belief being tMat it will be a great thing for base- ball all over the country. That, how- ever, brings no gladsome smiles to the faces of our Colonels. Maybe we can straighten the thing up when they get back. Already there is rumor of Miller Huggins being deposed—there always is when a team is slumping— but you cun bet the Colonels will stick to what they've started, That the baseball now in use ‘s livelier than it used to be is attested by Hughey Jennings. In batting prac- tice Hughey says he can hit fungo files a third as far with the present ball than he could in his palmy days as a regular. Incidentally the home-runnage of the season hus now reached .890. Can you imagine all the big leagues— major and minor—hitting four hun- dred home runs in two and a haif months a few years ago? CRIQUI TRIES FOR EUROPEAN TITLE 27 (By The Asso ciated Press).—Eugene Criqui, French featherweight, wants to win th championship of Europe from Arthur Wyns, the Belgian, before golng ¢ the United States. Efforts have beer under way to sign up Criqui for 4 bout with “Pepper” Martin in New York in July, but it now appears from statements by Criqui’s manager that this affair will be held later in the summer. Duke Decazes has offered a silver cup for the fight here between Criqul and Wyns on July 7. Criqui's amb! tions are to whip Wyns, then Mar tin and finally tackle the world’s champion, Johnny Kilbane “I am not interested in the money to be made in a trip to the United States; it is a matter of pure sport,” said Criqui, whose short eight punch has given him the title “King Knock- out.

Roald Amundsen ts to at- tempt his airplane flight actoss the North Pole without further delay, ae- cording to advices that have just reached New York. If all goes well he will try {t next month. John M. Larsen of No. 347 Madison Avenue, from whom Capt. Amundsen obtained the JL all-metal monoplane Elisabeth that ts part of his equip- ment, has received a letter from Nome tn which the explorer sald he was setting out at once for Point Barrow, on the northern coast of, Alaska, whence he will “soon.” as these advices put it, start his fight, This marks a decided change from his plans when he was in this city. Bearing directly on this informa- tion is an Associated Press despatch from Christiania, Norway, received yesterday. This read: “Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer, has changed his plans for his attempt to fly to the North Pole, it was reported here to-day. He now intends to land at Spitzbergen. tn- ' stead of Cape Columbia, as had been planned. A Norwegian air officer Ie going to Spitzbergen to mark out a suitable landing place.” Cape Columbia is in Grant Land, the northern projection of Grinnell Land, which les to the west of Greenland. Spitzbergen lies almost in a direct Hine from Point Barrow ficross the Pole. The distance be- tween the two is about 2,000 miles, Capt. Amundsen took with bim, in addition to the JL monoplane, a Curtiss Oriole. Which he will use on his pain flight cannot, of course, be said. It has been assumed he might use the Oriole for a prelim- inary flight in the course of which he would attempt to establish base for fuel and other supplies, and then return to his main base for his major attempt in the JL. The JL is being depended on for the long flight, according to this assumption, because of tests it al- ready has been subjected to under conditions approximating those of the Arctic, A JL has been flown to @ point just below the Arctic Circle, On Dec. 29 and 30 last a JL made a world’s record for endurance by remaining aloft for twenty-six hours nineteen minutes through temperatures far below freezing on the ground and which went below zero at the altitudes at which Eddie Stinson held the plane on her rounds, Although Capt. Amundsen holds a pilot's license, he is taking with him two meno of long experience in the air, One ts Lieut. Oskar Dahl of the Norwegian Navy; the other, Lieut. Elmer Fullerton, a Canadian Army aviator, The Elisabeth has been equipped with tanks holding 400 gallons of gasoline, which will be suMcient for a cruising radius of thirty-four hours, or from twent; x to thirty hours at higher speeds. Under reasonably favorable conditions she should be able to make a flight to Spitsbergen in ‘from twenty-two to twenty-five hours It is the hope of Capt. Amundsen that he may be able to keep in com- munication with the populated world by wireless during much of the flight.
