ROSS WANTS ANOTHER
CHANCE AT THE DUKE

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, May 6.-Nor
man Ross, Olympic Clubs famous
swimmer. who has just returned from
his triumphant Eastern tour, would
like one more chance at Duke Ia.
hanamoku and Rudy LANCER before
he finishes up his seasons work and
before he applies for a commission in
the officers reserve.
Ross was credited from Portland
with a desire to enlist at once. Now
he says that he isn't going to rush
madly into the army, but wants to see
Just what is best for him to do.
"I understand there is to be a big
meet in Honolulu in June" he said.
-Kahanamoku and LANCER are the
only ones who have beaten me, and
I'd like another chance at them. OF
course, II go into the army that will
close my swimming career"
Under a technicality there is some
slight questions as to the Ross rec
ords. II appears that before he went
to Honolulu Ross left his application
for a renewal of his p. A. card at the
Olympic Club. 1t was not filed, and
under a strict Interpretation OF the
rule he did not compete as a recog-
nized amateur athlete. Since there
was no intention OF so doing. the p.
A. will unquestionably straighten out
the matter.
Ross will swim at the Neptune
Baths Sunday, but says there is no
chance to set a new mark for the
hundred. Kahanamoku's mark of
0 0:53 is was made in Honolulu, where
the water is warm and conditions IA
yorable.

Mogridge, of the Yankees, did not Ll-

hopes of arranging . few baseball
games this spring, especially two with
Harvard, have been dashed by the
decision Of the board OF athletic con-
troll not to modify its original decision
forbidding all sports while the war

that Il saw no reason for changing its
decree that, under present conditions.
Yale sports must be abandoned
Informally, correspondence had been
begun with Harvard discussing .
couple of games. possibly during com

plans have been abandoned because
of the decision of the board Of ath-

BOB THAYER'S GOSSIP
ON. SPORTING MATTERS

The weather demons must be en-.
toying many a laugh this spring as
they consider the evil fate of the
Grifmen. After perfect weather at
Augusta. with the players in first
class condition and ready for any
opponent. the team caught cold
weather on Saturday in Cincinnati
and two rainy days following, thus
cutting down the receipts. Wet
grounds prevented a battle with the
Phillies at Norfolk and snow appeared
at Columbus. Rain and cold weather
called on one game at. PHILADELPHIA
one at New York, and two at Boston.
NOW two games have been held up
here. No wonder the Old Fox is
growing peevish.
Col. Robert Lee Hedges is said to
be angling to purchase the stock Of
700 owners o fthe st. Louis Cardinals.
Branch Hickey. the new president of
the club, is said to be Hedges man. /"
All of which should be interesting to
American Leaguers. Hedges sold the
Brownies for 100000 after long
years of heading a tailender. During
those years he was constantly crit
icised for his backward tactics. and
the whole league gave a gigantic
sigh Of relief when he severed his
