ST. JOHNS TOSSERS
UPSTATE TODAY;
MEET MOUNTA|NEERS

Coach Lentz. of the st. Johns Col
Iege baseball. squad, this morning set
out on the trip 10 Emmittsburg, where
the Cadets viii engage the nine OF Mt.
ST. Mary's College in a diamond bat
lie this afternoon. An early start WAS
made. the St Johnnies getting of on
the $50 car on the Annapolis Short
Line in order to make their train con-
nections TO the scene OF todaN's game.
The start was made with party OF
twelve tossers, but achievements
were later called for. and Coach Lentz
took a few OF the players by automo-
bile.
Reports from Mount St Mary's are
to the effect that the team there is in
good shape to meet the Cadets, and
the game promises to be we'll con-
tested The Mountaineers will be to-
day making their third try for a vic
tory. having met defeat at the hands
of the Navy and Villa Nova.
1t is probable that either Kozak or
Cush will be placed on the mound in
the game with ST Johns today. This
will be the first experience that either
has had in the actual game, but they
are both eager to-display their wares,
and the fans OF Mount st. Mary's have
every faith in the ability of the two
Youngsters. SO the Cadets. in meet
ing the team are bucking new ma
terial. the calibre of which they are
unable 10 guage beforehand. In ad-
dition TO this the Mountaineers are
said TO be hitting harder than they
have been during the past games.
ST. Johns. however, left with con-
fdence, and it is felt among the stud
ents who are acquainted with the
teams work that the Mountaineers
should be corralled and bagged with
out great difficulty.
One drawback that will doubtless
| prove to be a serious one for the st,
Johnnies, in not only this game but
/ all others on this seasons schedule
/ is the regulation of eligibility for ath-
letics, which recently has been adopt
ed by the college faculty The rule
! prohibits those athletes who fall be-
low a set average in their scholastic
work from making any trips with the
team. Losses were felt in the squad
that left this morning, and the shift
ing of men from one position to an
other, made necessary by elimination
of regulars from the team, seems
bound to bring a disadvantage.

Washington, July 81 - The next
President of the United States stands
to lose more than one-third of his
$4,000 salary by the payment of an
income tax.
= When the existing Revenue Act
was made effective the President, JUS
tees of the Supreme Court and all
other Federal judges were required
to pay the regular income tax just like
ordinary citizens. The rate in the
case of t $4,000 salary was fixed at
So per cent, and the amount would
run just above S27. 900. Much doubt
was expressed at the time regarding
the constitutionality of this provision,
and the feature relating to Federal
officials was eliminated.
When the Supreme Court passed
on thep revision, the opinion was con-
strued as holding that the salary of
no President or Federal judge could

Paris, Aug. 2-"Foch will keep us

Gentry at the Care du Kord recent

bear the French Delegation to Spa
was being shunted on the siding.
An elderly little man. wearing the
undress uniform of a general of di-
vision, Military Medal, War Cross and
Legion of Honor sauntered up and
quite amiably said: "You might at
least call him Marshal Foch'."
The soldier took one glance at the
general, then standing rigid at at
tention replied: zone never says
Marshal Caesar or Marshal Napo-
leon,' Monsieur lie Marecha1."
Smiling broadly, Marshal Foch en-
tered the special train.

Veteran Finishes Great Week With
Horses At Kalamazoo
Meeting.

Ed Geers had one Of the most sue
cessful weeks in his long career at
the Kalamazoo's recent Grand Circuit
meeting. He won the opening race
with Herberline in 2:08A, and the
closing event with Lecco Grafton In
2:09A, while in the interim he picked
up first money with Prosser, in
2:06h; with Peter June. in 2:07h, and
with Goldie Todd, in 203%.
or his other starters Don de Lopez
forced Charlie Rex out in 2:04A; Har-
vest Horn made Great Britton trot a
third heat in 2:10k to win the race
for three-year -olds. and Peggy Jones
was the contending trotter that fin-
ished second to Jane Volo, in 2:12N,
in the race for two-year- -olds, while
Dudette divided Iourth money when
Bay Star set the seasons record for
three e-year-olds at 2:07A.
1t viii be forty three years next
month since Geers drove his first race
on a Grand Circuit track at old Fleet
wood Park in New York. where he
won a memorable six heat race for
three year-old with Alice West, 1926.
For a man to be driving in such form
within six months of his SEVENTEEN
birthday, is something unexampled in
the ANIMALS of harness racing.

ONLY TWO BEATlNGS IN
THREE DIAMOND SEASONS

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Aug. 4.-Win-
ners of tho conference baseball cham
pionship for the third consecutive
season, Michigan's nine this year is
rank ed among the strongest collegiate
teams in the country. The Wolvcr
ines stood head and shoulders above
the other teams In the Middle West
and Coach Carl l.. Lundgren's aggre-
cation showed, in the California
series, that 1t was the equal IL not the
superior OF any team in the United
states.
Michigan won two out Of the three
games played with the Pacific Coast
champions, although the Californians
won two-thirds of their games against
the strongest teams along the At
lantic seaboard.
Michigan's record for the last three
years has been unique in the records
OF Middle Western baseball. In 1918
the Wolverines won all but one game
played with conference opponents.
Last season they won every big Ten
game. This season Michigan won nine
out Of ten conference games.
This gives Coach Lundgren's men
record of but. two conference games
lost in tho three years since the Nol-
verines returned to the Western Fold
record that promises to stand un-
touched for many years.

leave nothing to be desired. Though
Jones has been under my care all

Edgar Is strong in his praise Of

Jones won the Southern title at

We are moved to again make the
inquiry by noting that on June rs
Tom pitched both games of a double
header against Little Rock. the two
games going twenty-four innings In
all, and allowed only two runs in the
twenty-four innings. Tom won the
first game, 8 to 1, and then pitched
fifteen-inning / to 1 tie in the second
