JUNE WILL WITNESS LAST OF SEASONS
 AMATEUR SPORTS
Month Will See Finals in Many Forms of Athletics, From
 Baseball Down to Rowing.

NEW YORK. May 30.-In the ath- letic calendar the present month . might aptly be termed the month of travel since it is the period of the year at which the movement of amateur sport teams and competitors Is at it's maximum No better illustration of the remarkable growth of intersec- . tional and international competition can be cited than is shown in the thousands of miles of land and water covered by entrants iOuueying to cen-| tral points for competition in a score cades ago a trip of @ few hundred miles for the purpose Of entering a
 sport event was a mile stone in the life of an amateur competitor So rap idly have conditions changed in re- cent years. however. that the average member of a school team sees nothing unusual in such a tour of conquest Since their elder brothers travel thou sands of miles for the purpose of competing in boat race, track meet or baseball series for the school boy , with his modern athletic ideals, views his little journey of two or three hun ed miles in the same light that his grandfather planned to cross a city
 or township for a baseball game in the long ago
 That the picture is not overdrawn Is proved by the fact that many college or club combinations as well as pri- vate competitors are today speeding over long stretches of rail or water | and the same situation has prevailed ] for several weeks and will continue ! throughout the month of June Be- ginning with the college teams 1t is 1 possible to gauge the present varsity | athletic activity with a few striking examples The University of Califor-
 mia track and field squad, consisting ] of dozen of the best athletes of the ] Pacific Coast are today on the home
 ward swing of a 1000 mile circuit
 after competing in the Intercollegiate track meet in Harvard's stadium at ! Cambridge on Saturday. Long before ! these spiked shoe athletes reach Berkeley. Cal. the University of Washington eightoared crew win be journeying across the continent from
 Seattle to Poughkeepaie for the Inter collegiate Regatta at which the col- Ilege rowing championship of the
 United States Is decided Twelve oars .men and Coach Conibear win comprise
 the squad which will travel more than
 6,000 miles for Che purpose of meeting Ithe best crews of the east and middle
 west for rowing supremacy. The trip
 win cost at least S4 900 and the trans .portation Of sixty odd foot racing
 shell is not the least of Che problems Iof Conibear and his ncrew captain. IThe case of the University of Wiscon-
 sin crew is a parallel one with the eX- ception that the Badgers travel but one-half the distance that the Wash Iington oarsmen must cover.
 The crewmen are not the only ath- Iletes to make transoontinental tours, however. for Leland Stanford uniyer. .sity is sending the best members of

NEW YORK. May 3O- Federals are cutting into the National league in Chicago. but nowhere else. is the opinion of John Tenet, president of the older league.
 This latest expression of Mir. Tener attracted considerable attention and discussion here today He said the National league is doing well-bar- ring Chicago-in all cities, even St. ! Louis.
 The Cubs have not drawn well" said Mr. Tener "There is no deny ing the fact that Joe Tinker's club is ! far more popular in the Windy City thar. chat of Hank ODay. There are two good reasons for this. Perhaps the chief one is that the Chicago ! Nationals have made a very disap- pointing showing SO far All winter the experts figured 1t would be a very promising factor in our cam 1 paign.
 "Then. too. there is a general be- lief in Chicago that Charles w. Mur- phy is still interested in the Cubs. No one can get that idea out of peo- ple's heads. The selection of Thomas as president unfortunately has placed that gentleman in a false light Chi cagoans argue that as Thomas was a personal friend of Murphy, the lat ter must be interested in the Cubs still

 Taft has assured me that he pur- chased Murphy's entire holdings The one share of stock until the re-or- ganization of the club following the change of ownership. He had to do SO in order to serve as president When his successor was chosen he resigned title to even his small in- terest"
 Has not the St. Louis Federal league club injured the National league in that city?' Tener was asked
 "No. indeed" as the reply. CT am sure it has not. The Cardinals did not do well last year, you must re- member. and could not be expected to attract the patronage of a winner. But up to the present our attendance in st. Louis has been better than during the early part of last season" ,"
