one of the main
topics of conversa

giate track and
field games, not to
it- r.t'on ttie i,;...k nal, when men from
all sretinns of the-country who are
identified with athletics congregated
in Chicago.
During; the spring satisfaction was
expressed from all quarters over the
work of the three "hew coaches in the
western conference. Presence of these
mentors will undoubtedly add more
interest to the games because the
other coaches have little or no idea
of the style of game to be used by
the men who have stepped into the
big league.
Satiafied at Minnesota.
At Minnesota, where Dr. Harry L.
Williams coached for so many years,
alumni and undergraduates are sat
isfied with the progress made by Bill
Spautding, who learned his football
at Wabash and afterward coached at
Kalamazoo Normal of Michigan. It
does not necessarily follow that a
successful coach mtist have been a
great player or been a member of
one of the country's leading elevens.
Some of onr best football mentors
are those who were not stars in their
pitying days.
In Minnesota, Spaulding's work has
'. been watched by critical persons, fans
who at first wanted to belittle Bill's
ability to turn out teams which will
make better showings than those of
recent years. As Spaulding began to
accomplish things all of Gopherdom
hopped into t"he band wagon, with the
result Minnesota will make a great
effort to regain the place it held in
western football when Johnny Mc
Govern, Batson, Wyman, Rosenwald,
Marshall, and others were members
of the teams.
Glen Thistlethwaite, who left Oak
Park High school, near Chicago, to
take over the football job at North
western, has also received the support
of alumni and students of the Purple
institution during the time he was di
recting the spring practice. The play
ers seemed to grasp his ideas intelli
gently, and they displayed more de
termination than has been seen for
years at Evenston.
Is Thorough Instructor.
The new Purple coach is a thorough
instructor. He knows a. lot of foot
ball, and as his contract calls for five
years he can be relied upon to de
velop a team which will be a credit
to the institution inside of this time.
Large crowds turned -out to watch
the daily workouts, one of the surest
signs the undergarduate body is back
of the ne mentor.
James Phelan, who learned his
football at Notre Dame, soon won
the support of students at Purdue.
Phelan previously coached at Mis
souri, where he had more than ever
age success. Like most players de
veloped at Notre Dame, Phelan has
taught his men how to charge, block,
and tackle. This only can be accom
plished by long drills at tne tacKiing
dummy and charging machine. At
the close of the spring session the
Purdue squad was divided into skele
ton teams and they trotted through
v signals at a lively clip. The men
handled the ball in an accomplished
manner, and on the whole Coach Phe
lan has frequently stated he is more
satisfied with the practice than 'any
spring work he has ever directed.
Fans in the middle west are look
ing forward to some great struggles
in which Minnesota, Northwestern,
and Pudue will be contestants. Show
ings of these teams will be watched
with interest because of the new men
who nave been engaged to direct
-tiir fnrtnns. The three teams will
play the usual contests, most of which
will be with squads which have been
on the schedules for years.

Travers Island, the summer home
of the New York A. C, has been se
lected as the scene of the final track
and field tryouts for the Irish race
games. The day selected is Friday

Walter Higgins of Columbia, the
intercollegiate two-mile champion,
has also announced his intention of
tryi.ig for the team. The distance
race on the program above the mile
is a four-mije race, and 'these two
college stars will try out in that
event.
Bezdek Favors Change
in Football Rules
Hugo Bezdek, coach of the Penn
State football eleven, which was con
ceded the title of eastern champions
at the close of the last season, has
come forward with a new idea re
garding rule changes. In the opin
ion of the mentor of the Nittany
Lions, the present rules should be
changed to permit of four downs
regardless of time when within the
10-yard zone.
''When a team has brought the
ball to within scoring distance," says
Bezdek, "there ought to be a rule
which will give him the right to
make four trials for a touchdown
without the clanger of the calling of
time depriving them of the chance to
score."

TEE,FAIR$&y
.Somewhere I read just the other
day a new comparison of the golf
swing, having to do with its .relation
to the billiard stroke. I cannot re
call who made the comparison, but it
is so good that I want to repeat it
for my readers. He spoke of the
crescendo of the billiard shot. By
this he meant the action of the cue
from the start of its stroke to the
finish. I had never known it before,
but the billiard stroke is much like
the golf strode. Its crescendo means
that the cue tip starts easily and then
gains in speed until the billiard ball
has been struck, after which the tip
of the cue passes right on through
the ball. I was so struck by this
that I went into the billiard room at
my club and watched some expert
cueists. The good billiardists do use
this crescendo. The golf swing is
identically the same. You must start
the clubhead easily, at the top of the
swing, then increase its speed, with
out jerking, until the clubhead strikes
and passes through the ball. Imagine
what would happen if the billiardist
gave his cue a sudden jerk just be
fore striking his ball with it!
While I apt On the subject I might
make note of some' points I have
found it well to brush up 'on during
my practice this spring. For instance:
Do not go through with the club
and arms on the same line; nor go
through with the arms and clubhead
bent immediately after you hit the
ball; that is, do not pull your club
up quickly and sharply after the ball
is hit, for you will probably get a
wabbly flight; also this sort of a slap
is hard to judge. Slap the clubface
against the ball all right, but keep
your arm and club on a straight line
for about three feet and then draw
it back with the body in a bent arm
and club position. You will be sure
to do this if you brace your left knee
as you should.
This method of following through
worked fine for me, but I discovered
a tendency Vo leave out the quick,
snappy siap at the imp-act and to
start the straight arm and straight

ETKOIT, MICH., July 8.-
(bpecial.) Last spring when
young man Hanev blew into
the training camp of the Detroit
Tigers at Augusta, Ga., he discovered
there were about 1 1 candidates for in
field positions. Haney figured only
four could be regulars and as there
were four vets in camp he couldn't
see much chance for a rookie to land
a regular berth or, even a job.
Now, young man Haney is an in-fielder-and
can play every oosition on
the inner line of defense with con
siderable skill and much guste.
Haney is a hustling ball player, one
of the fighting sort, so when he saw
the conditions which existed at train
ing camp he didn't curl up and quit
but immediately began a campaign
to get somewhere. Fred Haney be
gan hitting his way to a job, he kept
at it in training camp practice, iu ex
hibition games and after the regular
season opened and hasn't quit hitting

Georges Carpentier Ready to
Meet Harry Greb for Light-
Heavyweight
Omaha B I,al Wire.
(Copyright, 1922.)
London, Julyv -"Georges Carpen
tier is ready and willing to fight Har
ry Greb as soon as
a match is ar
ranged," Francois
Descamps, the
French cham
pion's manager,
said tonight in an
interview.
"T h e Omaha
Bee can announce
to American fans
that Georges is
ready to meet
Greb or Jack
Dempsey again if
public interest is
shown in the pro
moters arranging the bout. Carpen
tiere cannot meet Greb before Febru
ary, as we are booked up with" film
and theatrical engagements and ex-
s
club follow through before the ball
is hit. Be very careful about this
if you value the result.
B. C. MacFarlane, the Scottish
player who once beat me at Sand
wich in a British Championship had
a peculiar pause at the end of his
back stroke as if to measure the
amount of strength he was to put in
to the shot for the required distance.
He would seem to wait something
like a musician for his first note to
die out before he played the next.
His golf was certainly effective on
the occasion on which I met him.
The effective golf stroke is rhyth
mic, and I determined to try swinging
smoothly and rhythmically, and ' I
found that I had to pause just a little
at the end of the back stroke. Pause,
however, is hardly the word, for that
would cause a stop in the timing and
good timing must be continuous. It
might be more correct to say that it
is a slight slowing up which permits
the wrists to relax slightly up there
and tin turn gives a little dip of the
clubhead and swish of it at the end
of the back stroke. The slight hesi
tation makes you more careful of
the location of the ball and is more
accurately delivered.
I was much interested the other
day in a chance remark about George
O'Neil and his way of hitting them
up with the slight slice spin so as to
get all carry for the slow, or well
bunkered courses. That is to say
that he finishes his blow with the
right hand a little underneath in
stead of turning over as was the old
idea. This method gives the feeling
of hitting the ball up into the air.
You do not have -to have -the ball
farther advanced in order to hit up;
if you do you are likley to increase
your slice spin to a discouraging ex
tent.. The whole idea is to get the
ball as straight as possible. Another
good feature of playing these shots
with the tendency to slice rather han
to pull is that difficult idea of turn
ing the wrists at the right time, and!
also of rolling the body. !

fourth is past.1 Detroit Tigers are
winning games principally through
the medium of. their trusty hickory
bats for there are eight .300 hitters
on the team and F. Haney is one
of them.
Fred Haney began his career in
organized baseball with the Portland
club of the Pacific Coast Interna
tional league in 1918, from thence he
went to the Los Angeles club of the
Pacific Coast league and was with
that outfit in 1919. In 1920, Haney
became a member of the Omaha
club of the Western league and in
that season began hitting the ball in
a very impressive manner for he
concluded that season's work with a
batting average of .310. In 1921, he
was again with the Omaha team and
developed into one of the best in
fielders in that circuit. In the 140
games he played at third he came
through with a fielding average of
.948 and lacked but five points of

and signed contracts which cannot be
broken.
"Don't let the American people
think Georges is trying to avoid
tne ureD bout. It
is simply that we
can't overhrow all
our plans and ar
rangements every
time we receive a
challenge. As soon
as we receive a
formal offer we
will be ready to
sign up right
away.
Asked about a
Dempsey - Wills'
fight, Deschamps
said:
"Dempsey can
knock out Wills' Habbt greb,
in one round if
he wants to. I know all about Wills;
he is not in it with the champion."
Jack Curley was with Descamps
when we interviewed the French
manager at the Midnight Follies here
and Georges was fox trotting with
Jack's Wife and Pearl, White.
"We have reached the basis of an
agreement for a Greb-Carpentier
match," said Curley. "I am starting
for a trfur of Europe tomorrow and
will get down to business in Paris
next September with Descamps for
a fight with Greb early in the spring.
If Georges puts Greb away quickly,
I believe there will be a return match
with Jack Dempsey."

The most unusual ceremony in the

the annals of American sport, took
place at the annual reunion of the
General Alumni association, when
Dr. Dunlap J. McAdams, graduate
of the college with the class of 1868.
was awarded his varsity letter in
baseball.
Dr. McAdams, who is 79 years old,
is said to be the oldest recipient of a

While this youngster didn't come

record in batting decorated with 30
or 40 home runs yet, his arrival
wasn t altogether unheralded for
chief scout, Eddie Herr of the Tiger
organization, had many good, words
for the playing ability of this prod
uct of the Western league.
Fred Haney, with the Tigers, has
made good in many ways besides his
ability to hit them out. When the
clever Lew Blue was out Haney was
sent in to fill the gap and in the six
games he played at first batted. 500

a game on the schedule that this lad

in demand in the big leagues and
this recruit looks good to the Man

20 Scoreless Innings
Pittsburgh and Boston of the Na

tled 20 innings without a score.
In the 21st inning the Pirates col

fray. Detroit and Washington got
together July 16, 1909, and went
18 rounds without a tly.

N 0 consecutive games the De
troit Americans played to nearly
200.000 people. The attractions
were the Yanks with Ruth and the
Washington team with Wa!ter John

team getting in on a Sunday game,
which meant a yard full to overflow
ing. In the scries between St. Louis
and the Tigers over 90,000 fans saws
the series of four games. There
may be some amusements that are
passe in old Detroit, but baseball
isn't one of them.
BABE RUTH has reached the
"trying-to-be-funny period." In
a game the other day, just be
fore stepping to the plate the big
lad, taking out his handkerchief, care
fully and daintily began' dusting off
his uniform, shoes and hat, then gid
dily waved the hanky at the fans
in the boxes, and then at Ty Cobb
in the outfield. George Dauss fin
ished the dusting stunt by sending
ttebig Marylander back to the dug
out with the S. O. mark attached
to him. Tv Cobb. who. by the way,
is getting quite kittenish, mimiced
the "Babe" every time he came to bat
after that. Ty. in passing Ruth,
would loosen his shirt front and
throw out his stomach to imitate
George's crowing waistline. Ty kid
ded the life out of the Bambino and
he certainly bad the big fellow's goat,
for Ruth batted and played poorly in
that series.

credit for the successes of the Tiger

a miracle man, as a psychological
wonder, as an inspiring leader and
one who has instilled inside baseball
into the rank and file of the Detroit
team. This sounds good," continued
Mogridge, ".url there is some truth

Phillippe's passing was one of the
most tragic in the history of the game
from a sentimental standpoint.
For one reason or another the fa

Pirates all left the Pittsburgh club not

Twenty years ago Phillippe was as
famous and popular as "Babe" Ruth
today. Just lister to what he did.
On May 25, 1899, he pitched a no-hit,
no-run game for Louisville against
New York. Time and again he came
within an ace of repeating, but always
some little scratch nit rooneo nun
of the honor. But a year after he
was the grandest hurler of his time.
In 1903. largely due to Phillippe's
great work, the Pirates wen the Na
tional league championship.
In the world series of that year he
won three oit of the first four games
and came near winning the fourth.
The Boston Red Sox won the series.
Joins U. S. League.
The next year Phillippe left 'the
Pirates. The old United States league,
the forerunner of the Federal league,
put the "Deacon" on its pay roll, and
he played a few games, winning some
and losing others.
The "Deacon" was through, and he
silently passed out of baseball. Pat
Moran and Barney Dreyfuss both
agree with a great many others that
the "Deacon" would be an ideal chap
to go out in the bushes and pick out
the new "phenoms." But Barney and
Pat are loaded up with "head hunters"
at present, and there is no place for
the "Deacon."
Drexel Institute Has
Two Crack Rifle Teams
Drexel Tnstitue of Philadelphia,
Pa., had two wonderful rifle shooting
teams the last indoor season one of
boys, the other of girls.
So good was the girls' team that
Capt. T. P. Lyons, the instructor,
said: "I would like to match the girls
against any boys' rifle team in the
country."
When the instructor talks that way"
the girls must be couivted on as real
shots, they .were. They didn't lose
a match.
Next season it is more than likely
that the girls will be eligible to try
for the university team. Drexel won
sixteen of its eighteen matches, lost
one and tied one with Yale. In five
of its matches Drexel' made perfect

T I is a rarity in baseball to see a
I left-handed infielder playing any
other position than that of first
Dase. soutnpaw catcnes are equally
scarce, a few have bobbed up in the
minor leagues, but the fact that they
were left-handed debarred them for
life of ever wearing- the uniform of
a big league club. Jack Clements,
catcher who was with the Philadel
phia Nationals frorri 188S until 1899,
was the only left-handed catcher to
get in and stay in the fold of big
lcaguedom. Clements was a splen
did batsman and really a great
catcher, for he had perfected a move
ment that he could side-step right
handed batters when about to throw
to second; however, it was Clements'
ability as a batsman that held him in
the big show, for he had a lifetime
batting average in the big show of
.297. There is one instance where a
southpaw infielder received a trial on
a major league club. Hulen was a
shortstop who made good in the big
Western league during 1895 and 1896
and was signed by the Philadelphia
Nationals in 1896. For two seasons
Hulen endeavored to convince big
league managers that a southpaw
could play up to big league require
ments. Hulen was fast and agile,
but his left-handed peg was rather
awkward and frequently balled up
the other infielders. Hulen, however,
stuck in the minor leauues and was,
in many respects, a success as a
shortstopven if he flipped the ball
from the port side.
