SPORTING NOTES

Two coaches may handle the Ameri- can Olympic track and field team.
 Harvards eight-oared varsity crew will be entered in the Olympic re- gatta.
 Eddie Meehan of Notre Dame is likely candidate for the 80O-meter hon. ors at the Olympic games.
 It's a pleasure to watch Hugh Brown pitch. He's as graceful as he's good.
 
 Jack Gillespie, despite his size, is about the best dizzy corner guardian in the Eastern-and he hits 'en, too, where they ain't.
 Johnny Nagle IS playing the game of his life this season. He is in class all by himself when 1t comes to blocking a runner.
 Frank Moran, the Pittsburgh blonde, will take his famous Mary Ann" to London shortly, where he is booked for go with Joe Beckert. Moran IS con- fdent he can beat Beckert and IS very enthusiastic over the good news.
 
 Larry Doyle, sandwiched in between the youths Kelly and Frisch, has taken on new lease of life and Is playing a bang up game for the Joints" The change from Slowtown to the metropo-, lis has been life saver for Frank Ban croft, also.
 Willie Lewis, the boy who showed Georges Carpenter how to use his dukes la Americaine, was visitor to town recently, and was greeted by his New Haven friends in great style. Willie wears the old smile still, and looks fit enough to clean up some of the wou1d-be middles.

 The Boston Braves and the Cleve- land Indians each boast of catcher named O'Nei1. It develops that both are brothers, and stars of the first order. Some years ago the St. Louis Nationals had the famous Jack and Mike O'Neil, elder brothers, as a battery. They say Mike used to talk Irish to brother Jack when some one got their signals. The O'Neil family claim Avoca, a small mining village near Scranton, Pa, as their home This same little village was the home of Hughie Jennings be- fore the auburn hued boy became fam ous with the old Baltimore Orioles. < The controversy between President Dan O'Neil and Big Ed" Walsh is causing lots of interest among the fans. The suspension of the big fellow has caused the Bridgeport papers to come out strong for President O'Neil to step down from his official position and save the league One Bridgeport paper says the league will crumple up like house of cards etc, unless Dan gets out. Poor Dan O'Neil-we say. Poor Dan O'Neil. We have heard the howl before.

MAeEE's UNIQUE STUNT


 Sherwood Magee, so the Reds say, pulled a stunt against Earl Hamilton, Pirate southpaw, couple of years ago that is unique.
 Hamilton was trying to fool old Sherry and threw him slow ball.
 Instead of striking at it or letting it go by, Magee reached out with his right hand, caught the ball and threw 1t back at Ham as hard as he could.
 And as he did so he shouted:

shining weapons raised on high, in the
faint hope that one well-directed
thrust might penetrate through the eye
to the brain of his grim foe.
"But to the unutterable astonish-
ment of all, the beast seemed not even
aware of the presence Of the Grim
inal. At the first moment of its re-
lease it halted abruptly in the arena,
raised itself half on end, snuffing the
upward air with impatient signs; then
suddenly it sprang forward, but not
on the Athenian. At half-speed 1t
circled round and round the space,
turning it's vast head from side to side
with an anxious and perturbed gaze,

leap up the parapet that divided it
from the audience, and, on failing, ut

deep-toned and kingly roar. 1t evinced

tail dropped along the sand, instead Of

escape, it crept with moan into its
cage and once more laid itself down

keeper:

prick him forth, and then close the
door of the den.'

to obey, a loud cry was heard at one

was a confusion. hustle, voices of
remonstrance suddenly breaking forth,
