them Jun 30. Head Coach Adams and
John Kennedy have nothing but words
Of praise to say of the Crimson crews.
In both quarters there Is an unusual
air of confidence which fOrebOdes bitter
disappointment when the race is over.

Personal Comment on Men and
Things in the Field of Sports

Chicago will miss Second Baseman
Evers, who is now on the hospital list
with two weak ankles.
Wild throwing among the inhelders
is a Chicago weakness.
The Boston inhelders complain Of the
lumpy condition OF the grounds. The
players fresh from minor leagues are
always bothered with turf grounds. 1t
wouldn't take much to trim the South
End grounds 40 that the second base
man and shortstop could play mostly on
the dirt.

team these days. He plays any position

CLEVELAND, June 1S.-Case Patten

him from the start. and why he was not
