By WALTER ECKERSALL.
Itefoir the virions sectional inter
'illeijiiitr track anl field garnet are
''rid next year and the national col-1
h'Ki.ve on June 1, efforts will be
Made to have better acconuuoda-
:ion for jn!gr and timeri for the j
lr nt anil hurdle race.
In t!i? r.ili rii intercollegiate, i
'm-I'I .it Harvard last May, and in!
'l.e n.ttional fo!lei.':ate. decided on '
MajtK tail June 1". the racc were i
so cloe tlut tiie judge were un-j
able to dttcrmii.e the place winner
with any decree of certainty. In fact.
t it in secret that athektes were j
h." in both mrt. I
As many as seven runners were '
mt away in heat', and finals in both
tneeis. It hapin'jied that all racer ,
were of about eitial ability, with the :
i c stilt they were on the tape at prac- '
tical'y the fame time. The judge
were able to catch the runners on the i
sides of the track, but they "lost" the i
men in the middle lanes.
Suggestions for Chuijea. I
Coa.-hes are seeking some way of
rectifying such mist.'.kes in the fu
ture, with the result many sugircs
tions have been offered. Walter
Christ i;-. coach of the University of
California team, which won the east
ern and intercollegiate and the na
tional collegiate games, has offered
a suggestion which is meeting with
favor.
The Bears' mentor believes the
best way to overcome any such repe
titions is to have two stands built
and set back about 15 yards from
each side of the track. If necessary,
Christie said, a section of the grand
stand should be used if the track is
close to the structure. These stands
should be high enqugh to permit the
judges to look down and out at the
finish line.
Coach Christie also favors two
finish lines. He asserted one line
should be drawn across the track,
while a tape should be stretched
across the track about eight feet from
the ground. With two finish lines to
look down upon, and from a dis
tance far enough out so that all men
will be in the same range of vision,
Christie believes the racers can be
caught without mistake.
Judges Fail to Follow. -
Another pronvnent "coach asserted
mistakes happen because the judges
do not follow their men through
after they have passed the finish line.
The men go by so fast that it is
easy to become confused unless a
judge keeps his eye on the man who
he is to. pick and follows him through
and down the track a short distance,
to make certain he has selected the
proper place winner.
When the national meet was held
in Chicago a pole vaulter was elimi
nated from further competition for
failure "to clear a certain heieht.
After the event had been decided
this same vaulter, with the aid of
officials, cleared the bar at 13 feet,
six inches higher than the mark at
which the event was won. Coaches
were bitter in their criticism for per
mitting; this man to perform and
.Ipa -i-tiic .'n iiirlcrinc the
. . -
event. Regardless of what record tne
nerformer liliKlit nave made, it woum
not have counted, and his work only
detracted from that of the two men
who tied for first place. A rule will
undoubtedly be injected next year to
prevent such an occurrence at future
meets.
Rules Often Violated.
Although a rule exists which for
bids a runner to take the pole by
cutting 'n cm ne inside, the edict
has been violated so many times this
year that some mentors intend to
ask for a more strict ruling. It hap
pens that on some occasions the pole
runner may swing wide enough to
permit the man behind to cut in and
take the pole, hut it more often hap
pens that the rear runner tries to run
through and squeeze the field out.
This is contrary to the rule, which
states a man must take the pole from
the outside and be at least two strides
in advance before he cuts in. This
has been a trick of one of the leading
teams in the middle west for a num
ber of years.
Interest in track and field athletics
is increasing, and the rules need a
little changing to protect the athletes
and coaches. Narrow margins have
separated teams in the point columns
and such things as losing a runner in
a race, taking the pole on the inside,
or trying to hook a leader's foot may
mean the loss of points and the con
sequent loss of a higher position in
the final team ratings.

George Stern, who rode Ramus
to victory in the French derby at
Chantilly, smiled broadly asi he pock
eted a large bonus which the owner
of Ramus, Marcel Boussao, handed

"Brokers are more generous than

"Thanks, I'll give this, to my val
et." Stern is reported to have said,
adding, "As for me. I want 10.000
markf.
A long discussion ensued and the
majordomo made several trips be

jockey before the emperor finally
accented the rider's termt.

Proper Breathing Helps Golfers
to Get More Distance With Their
Drives, Says New York Critic
New York, June 24. Harry Cross i way by golfers it might do away
says that the theory has been ad- with much of the superfluous talk
vanced that the reason so many peo- ing on the links. Of course, that
pic play poor golf is because they seems almost too much to expect.
do not breathe correctly. Players I
have known for some time that they
did everything else connected with
the game wrong, but this business of
breathing is a new one.
According to this theory, if the
player inhales a deep breath just be
fore he makes his swing on the tee
and exhales as he goes through with
the shot the result will be a long,
Straight ball of some 200 yardr. It
sounds reasonable enough.
Heretofore goners have used their
respiratory organs for the exclusive
purpose of letting off surplus steam
when they make a poor shot. Much
breath has also been expended in
controversy over scores on certain
holes.
The ordinary golfer will probably
tell vou that the only time hard
breathing ever aided him on the links
was whep he talked his opponent
into submission ina heated argu
ment about whether he was playing
the eighth stroke or the ninth.
There are great possibilities to
make golf a more attractive game in
this newest theory about breathing.

Minnesota Lures the Canoeist and
Angler.
If there is any section of the north
central states that has superlative at
tractions for the canoeist and ang
ler it is northern Minnesota. Miles
and miles of virgin forest, crystal
clear lakes and streams teeming with
fish, and big game to be seen along
the way what more could any rea
sonable man ask?
The region we have in mind and
want to tell you about is reached
from the little town of Ely. It is
sort of a gateway to the big woods
playgrgound, the premier canoe
country, the land of the "forest
primeval." The routes that are be
fore you as you strike out from Ely
are almost without jiumber. You
may go northeast from Ely and
push up through Basswood lake to
the boundary and then 011 east to
the waters of Knife, Birch and Otter
Track lakes until you come to the
big Saganaga (there's a lake for
you.)
If you can tear yourself away
trom tne torest-ciaa snores os mis
beauty you will turn south and ex
plore the real honest-to-goodness
bush country, untouched by fire or
axe. Then through Seagull and
Ogishkemuncie and series 'of smaller
lakes, practically all of which will
make you tarry because of the good
fishing, until you enter the waters
of the Kawishiwi, which takes you
back to Elv aeain.
The boundary and Dahlgren river
route is a dandy canoe trip which
offers plenty of fishing and adven
ture to any outdoorsman. After out
fitting at Ely you start going and
in a short time reach basswood laKe,
which offers an eight-mile cruise,
and then you arrive at the boundary

Languid Interest in
Davis Cup Prelims
New York, June 24. Lawn tennis
followers in this country are looking
on the Davis cup preliminaries and
preparations with a sort of languid
interest. To them the entire affair
simply means that some nation or
other will come to Forest Hills next
September in the challenge round,
play the United States, perhaps make
one or two sets interesting, but lose
out. There is a feeling of com
placency which is quite natural, in
view of the return to form on the
part of Bill Johnson, the ripening of
Vincent Richards, and, of course, Bill
Tilden. But in Australia, there is
something of a different notion.

and Basswood falls. Here are for-

the effect that you should not try to
run the rapids without a guide. Too
risky. Incidentally this is a good
place to try your hand at getting
some pike. A number of small por
tages come in here as you continue
your journey below the falls until
you come to Crooked lake, a twist
ing stretch of water that is well
named. It is sixteen miles long and
there are some corking fine camp
ing sites here on the shores of the
lake. Wall-eyed pike and northern
pike are quite plentiful in this lake
and good catches can be made.
Continuing from Crooked lake on
to Iron lake and Battle lake you can
portage onto Lac La Croix (Lake
of the Cross), one of the prettiest
bodies of water you will see any
where. It is twenty-five miles long,
and don't hurry when you hit this
stretch of water. You won't be able
to, anyway, it's so pretty you will
want to tarry, there is an Indian
village on the north side of the big
bay which is worth a visit, and if
you are inclined you can get some
interesting photos here.

Fistic Followers Refute to
Recognize Title Claims of
Boxers Only Way to Win
a Cnmn Is Heat Champ.
By RAY PEARSON.
Perhaps it if all right for a boxer
to claim a title without winning ii
in the orthodox way, vhicli mean
beating the man who holds tin
crown, but to the great majority oi
fans the business of claiming honors
which at bect are doubtful, doesn't
make a hit, and seldom do we heat
of one of these claimants being rec
ognized as the simon-pure blown-in-thr-bottle
champion.
At the present time we have as
middleweight champion Johnny Wil
son of Boston. Wilson won the title
all right by beating Mike O'Dowd
to the decision in a bout at Boston.
Then later he repeated by trimming
O'Dowd in New York, thereby prov
ing that his title-winning feat wasn't
a fluke.
Downey Claims Crown.
Wilson, since ascending the thnne,
' however, hasn't given any evidence
that he is a great fighter. The fact
that the middleweight rank show
no clarsy millers enabled Wilson to
become champion and also enables
him to hang onto the title. Then
along came Bryan Downey, who
graduated from the welterweight
class and got a match with Wilson
at Cleveland. That bout was about
as messy as ever has been staged,
and after it had been finished Dow
ney claimed that he had knocked out
Wilson, but wasn't permitted to take
the title because the referee vas
frendly to Wilson and wouldn't
count Johrwiy out when he was
knocked down.
We have no doubt that Downey
won that bout, which was a no-decision
affair, but that didn't help
Bryan's case at all. However, Dow
ney had to get even some way for
the bum deal he claimed he received
at the hands of the referee, and so
he claimed the title held by the Bos
ton Italian. Bryan also was backed
nn hv the Cleveland boxinir commis-
, jon jn this claim, but whether or
,,nt Downev was justified in makine
the claim made no difference, for
Wilson still is recognized as cham
pion. 3nd will be until some fellow
comes along and knocks him out or
wins a decision over him.
Couldn't Win on Foul.
A few years ago Kid Williams,
then bantamweight champion, fouled
Johnny Ertle, an aspirant for the
title in a 10-round no-decision bout
in St. Paul. The bout ended with
the landing of the alleged foul and
the Ertle forces claimed that Ertle
had won the crown on a foul. The
Williams crowd denied that a foul
had been committed. It was an
other' of those unfortunate mixups.
Ertle claimed the title, but few peo
ple could be induced to recognize
him as the legitimate titleholder and
Williams went along as champion
until Pete Herman stepped in and
won a decision over him which gave
the New Orleans Italian the title.
There have been many 'similar
cases of boxers claiming the title
without having won it in the ortho
dox way, but there is a brighter side,
when one permits his mind to dwell
on some of these scrappers, 'who
don't want a crown unless they can
win it as it should be won. .
For instance, there is Johnny Dun
dee, the junior lightweight cham
pion. Dundee wants to drag Johnny
Kilbane, ,the featherweight champion,
into a match with him and Dundee
believes that, if he could do so, he
would "take" the Clevelander for
the title and become a "double
champion." Kilbane, however,
shows no inclination to get in the
ring with the Italian, even though
the New York boxing commission
threatens to forfeit Kilbane's title, if
he refuses to fight. But this is what
Dundee says, which shows how he
feels about grabbing a forfeited title:
Seeks Title Honestly.
"I don't want a forfeited title. I
want the featherweight champion
ship and I can get it, if Kilbane will
fight me. But I want to fight for it."
Now take the case of Benny
Leonard, lightweight champion. To
morrow night in New York Leonard
is going to climb through the ropes
to battle Welterweight Champion
Jack Britton. Benny also wants to
become a "double champion," but
he wants to win it and win it legiti
mately by either knocking out Brit
ton or winning a decision over him.
Britton, of course, is going to have
a lot to say about whether Benny
succeeds in this colossal task, but
just the same, the point we are
trying to drive here is that Leonard
isn't going to claim anything unless
he can get it the way he should.
We have a bit of information that
if Leonard is able to cop the welter
weight title we may look for his
early retirement from the ring.
Benny aspires to knock out Britton,
then win on points from Rocky Kan
sas at Michigan City on July 4, and
finish up by knocking out Lew
Tendler' when they meet in Jersey
later on. Then he would bid fare
well to the boxing gloves.

Gibbons' Defeat by Greb Puts
Him Out of Fistic Limelight
New York, June 24. Tom Gib
bons of St. Paul was in line for
matches with Georges Carpentier
and Jack Dempsey until Harry Greb
clawed his way to a decision over
him. Since that affair Gibbons has
gone back to the bushes and he has
resumed his knockout career, flat
tening all comers, but attracting no
particular attention.
Gibbons was a great disappoint
ment' in his bout with Greb, but his
performance was not so poor that he
deserves to be cast aside. Heavy
weights are so scarce these days that
the fans cannot afford to ignore him.
Gibbons is not all that he should be,
but he is a great deal better than
the average.
It is not at all likely that if Demp
sey were to tackle Greb, the cham
pion would emerge from the eucouii;
ter with fresh laurels. Greb has an
unpleasant way of making all hit
opponents look far worse than they
really are. The tactics he uses are
so peculiar that ordinary boxing
methods cannot prevail against them.
Gene Tunney says that Greb is
not a boxer at all but a contortion
ist. "Why he can't hit hard enough
to knock over a lightweight," de
Glared Tunney. "Honestly, I thought
he was pulling at first. They told
me he was a man-killer, but his hit
ting was so light I could not believe
he was trying."
But, although Tunney charges
that Greb won the fight by using
the top of his head, he admits read
ily enough that the Pittsburgher is
Big Ten Initiates
Sport Cleanup
Selection of Athletic Head Is
Declared to Be Forward Step
in Correcting Athletic Evils.
New York, June 24. Perhaps the
biggest and most drastic forward
step taken in the campaign to clean
college sports was that taken by the
Western Conference colleges at the
Iowa City meeting, says Hugh S.
Fullcrton. The decision to select one
man, a man of high standing and of
force, to act as commissioner, is the
first real movement toward efficient
cleaning up.
The decision of the conference to
put a check upon long trips and big
intersectional games is another move
in the direction of curbing the evils
that have crept into college athletics,
especially into football. There is no
thought, evidently, at least not at the
present, of stopping the normal in
tersectional games, but the effort is
to prevent such trips as Ohio State,
W. and J. and other teams have
taken, to the coast principally.
Harvard Varsity Crew to
Row in Homemade Shell
The Harvard varsity crew rowed
on the waters of the Charles in a
homemade eight-oared shell built en
tirely at the Newell boathouse by
William Lutz and rigged by him un
der the supervision of Head Coach
Heber Howe and his graduate com
mittee on rigging. The shell was
satisfactory and Dr. Howe said that
he planned to use the boat in the
race against Pennsylvania.

A. He should. He waa out for Interfer

Q. There Is a runner on first and one
out. The catcher drops the third strike
on the batter and the runner starts for
second. The ball is thrown to the second
baseman who does not touch the runner,
but after touching th base, throw to
first for a double play. The umpire re
fuses to allow a double play. On what
grounds?
A. The rule about thl play say the

Attention!
Kennedy
AllStars
Corning, la., June 24. (Special
Telegram.) On Sunday. June 17,
the Kennedy All-Stars of Omaha
gave a splendid exhibition of base
ball on the local grounds but were
defeated by Corning, 3 to 4.
After returning to Omaha the
All-Stars laid their defeat on the
ocal umpire, which not only shows
poor sportsmanship but lack of
mental intelligence by the person
making such statements to the
Omaha papers. This is merely an
alibi for their defeat.
Corning will be only too glad to
meet the Kennedys at the Omaha
Western league park with both
teams using same lineup for all
gate receipts and $500 or $1,000
side bet and as much more as the
All-Stars wish to put up. John
Conding of Omaha to umpire.

Death Hat ClitinwNi Several
Prominent American League
Moguls in I,at Few Years
ClevelamlLott Three.
By I. E. SANBORN.
Death lus been particularly un
kind to the American league in tak
ing away o many of the highest
type of good citizens and good
sportsmen who have been included
in the roster of its club owners.
It will be 20 years next season
since the young organization com
pelled the recognition of all as a ma
jor league by locating a team in New
York and in that time more than half
its clubs have been bereft of promi
nent men who have been identified
with their ownership and leaders in
the councils of the league. Some of
the clubs have been in mourning
twice.
The lo,s of James C. Dunn, late
owner of the Cleveland club, will be
mourned by the entire baseball
world throughout which he was
known by reputation at least. This
is the third time Cleveland laus have
known grief over the loss by death
of a sterling character. The first
time was at the death of J. II. Kil
foyle. who was associated with
Charles W. Somcrs in the days when
clean sportsmen with good nerves
were required to back the league
through the baseball war. The sec
ond time Cleveland mourned was at
the death of Ray Chapman, one of
the world's greatest shortstops and a
great credit to the game personal!.
Mourn Ben Schibe.
Another death within the year
which has removed a veteran sports
man from the American league ranks
was that of Benjamin F. Schibe. a
baseball pioneer in more ways than
one. Ben Schibe also was the first
to risk investing in a steel and con
crete baseball stand, which was
named after him.
Washington lost two club owners
by death. The first of them was
Tom Loftus, himself a graduate from
the diamond and a practical baseball
man. The second was T. C. Noves,
who, although a newspaper publisher,
managed to find time to devote to the
sport which he liked best, just be
cause he liked it.
During the years of its greatest
success the Boston American league
club was owned by Gen. Charles H.
Taylor, publisher of the Boston
Globe and for many years one of the
leading citizens of New England.
He, too, became interested in base
ball because of his liking for it, and
because his son, John I. Taylor, was
able to take care of the routine busi
ness of the club.
William H. Yawkey of Detroit
wan another club cwner whom base
ball was called upon to mourn, al
though it was fortunate in having a
man like Frank Navin, already long
and closely identified with the af
fairs of the Detroit club, to step into
Mr. Yawkey's place.
Like Jim Dunn, most 61 these
men came into baseball because they
loved the game; not for the money
there was in it, but for the sport of
it. They were men of wealth and
prominent in the affairs of the na
tion. Dunn Ideal Club Owner.
None of them typified the ideal
baseball club owner more than Jim
Dunn. Although the headquarters
of his construction company was in
Chicago, he entered the American
league in the role of an alien owner
a great handicap always. He be
came one of the "first citizens of
Cleveland" in a very short time.
Business men, professional men,
and every class of men liked "Sunny
Jim," as they called him, because he
was not only a clean sportsman him
self, but a strong exponent of the
square deal. His players liked him,
as he liked them, and he established
a record of signing a team of world's
champions without a single case of
holdout. They expected the square
deal and they got it, as did every
man who dealt with Jim Dunn,
either in business or sport.
