Challenging Nations for Davis

New York, May 1.-THE sclec-

longing nations in the international

fcials are busiiy engaged in pulling
wires so that Zenzo Shimidzu, who
is now in Calcutta, may secure six
months leave of absence to take his
place on the court beside Ichiya Ku-

A storm of criticism has burst
forth in England over the. selections.
1t made itself manifest a few days
ago when F. M. B. Fisher, famous
New Zealand player, who has re-
sided a number of years in England,
was requested to participate in the

would determine the final selection OF
the four nominations for the British

Report That Kauff
Is Practiciing Daily
Benny Was Ordered Out of
Base Ball Until He Could
Clear Himself.

New York, May Hugh S. Full
lerton says that Benny Kauff, who
was ordered out of base ball until
he can clear his name Of the ac-
cusations raised against him, is back
on the scene. He has been attend
ing the CRANES at the Polo grounds
and practieing on the same field with
the Giants in the workouts.
The presence of Kauff on the Polo
grounds after the decision of Judge
Lands has raised question of his
status in base ball and of the atti-
tude of the Giant management to-
ward him. Judge Lands, after in
terviewing Kauff, recommended that
he should not rejoin the team dur
ing the spring training, but wait un-
til his innocence of the charge of
theft of an automobile be established.
1t is reported that Judge Lands
is in possession of the evidence re-
garding Kauff's connection with the
worlds series scandal of 1919. He
has at least one affidavit stating that
Kauff was the person who ap-
preached Arnold Rothstein with
proposition regarding the series. In
his decision in the Kauff matter
the head of base ball made no ref
erence to the alleged connection of
kauff with the Reds-White SoS
scandal

member the first time he faced me, |
made him hit dinky little tap to
first. Then l gave him everything

me on that high wide ball and hit
it a mile. There's no telling what
he'll do. He's just great natural
hitter with an uneanny eye and more
power in his swing than any other
player in the history of the national
game"
And it is safe to say all other
pitchers who have yielded home runs
to the Babe agreed with Romlnell.
Yes, indeed, Ruth is hitting as we'll
as ever.
Some fans believe that Ruth will
make record OF Is homers this

New York, May Iii Babe
Ruth maintains anything like his
present pace he undoubtedly will
shatter last years record of 54 homo
runs. Last season May II arrived
before he had hit a home run. In
April this year he collected four in
a few days. 1t looks like a big year
for him. The Babe himself is conf
dent he will surpass his mark OF
1920. He aims now to hit at least 90
homers, but he won't be one bit
surprised if he should go beyond
that number. He has found the spring
pitching very much to his liking. His
eye is as keen as ever, if not keener.
His timing is we'll nigh perfect. He
gets tremendous drive into his bat.
One thing is certain. Ruth has not
gone back in hitting. He may be
somewhat overweight. He may be
trifle slower on the hoof, but just
a trifle His batting, however. is
just as powerful as it was last year
and unless rival pitching improves

Columbia May Pitch
Fall Grid Quarters
AT Military Camp

The Columbia university eleven of
New York will do its preliminary
training next September at foot
ball camp to be established near
New York by Coach Buck O'Neill.
O'Neill is on a search of suitable
sites within a radius of SO miles of
Gotham.
Columbia elevens have enjoyed the
benefits of such camps in the past,
but not since the gridiron sport was
brought back to life on Morningside
Heights in 1915.
The site most favored is Camp
Vail, at Lake Silver, N. J., about
40 miles from New York. Camp
Vail is an aviation field, with large
body of soldiers quartered there now.
If Columbia completes its present
tentative arrangements, the foot ball
squad will live in one of the soldier

Halsey, Neb., May 7.-The Great
Blue Herons are back. Two colonies
of these big, awkward looking, long
legged uish-colored birds have ar
rived at their summer homes in the
sandhills of Nebraska and may be
seen daily standing in the shallow
water of the Middle Loup river be-
tween Dunning and Thedford on the
lookout for fish to come within reach
of their long sharp beaks attached
to the end of correspondingly long
neck.
The great Blue Herons form an
interesting feature in the way of bird
life in western Nebraska.
Visit State Often.
A large number of these birds, Or
ganized into two colonies, have been
coming here for many years to spend
their summers. For the same num-
Der OF years they have been using
as meeting places two clumps OF
native blackberry trees, one located
about three miles back in the rough
hills south of the Middle Loup, and
the other colony about the same
distance north OF the Dismal river.
The Great Blue Herons, along
with all other birds and small band
OF white-tailed deer, are the pets of
Jay Higgins, supervisor of the Ne
braska National forest near here. 1t

and deer make their homes.

Fighting Fans Buy
Many Fight Seats
Apply for $4,000 Worth of
Tickets-Great Interest
In Match.

New York, May IA surprising
amount OF interest is being shown in
the Dempsey-Carpentier fight, even
though it is two months off. For
some time past Promoter Tex Rick
ard has been receiving requests for
seat reservations, but these have
come from persons known as regular
fight fans here in New York. They
represent a considerable amount vi
money, but is the steady flow OF let
tiers and kilograms which has been
pouring into Richards Office in
Madison Square Garden, since Jer-
sey City was named as battle
ground, which indicates that the
bout is likely to prove a record
breaker i'll point of attendance.
These applications are from all
parts of the country, from cities, vii
lagos and hamlets. The demand
for choice seats from Canada tops
them all at this early date. Rickard
can hardly understand it unless it
reflects the desire of some Canadians
to stage the fight when the promoter
was i'll the market for bids for it..
So far seats totaling about S25,0W
have been applied for by sports from
across the border. Carpenter is
big favorite among the French Cana
dians, and it is said they will back
him to man to beat Dempsey. 1t
is even said that no matter what the
odds on the fight are now in this sec
ton, the Frenchman is regarded as
an even money chance in Canada.

lack Britton Turns
Down Large Offer

Milwaukee, Wis, May 7. - Jack
Britton, welterweight champion box
er, turned down an offer of $4,000
and a percentage which, it was ex-
pected would have netted over $15,-
900, to box, 'Pinky" Mitchell of Mil
waukee in 15-round title contest
July 4, according to Tom Andrews,
local promoter!
According to Andrews, Britton de-
clined the offer on the plea that he
could get as much money in the east
for the same match and for 10 rounds
with no decision.
Mitchell went through as10-round
no decision contest against Britton
in Milwaukee few months ago and
while the majority of the sporting
writers credited Britton with shade,
some thought Mitchell entitled to an
even break.

Paddock Is Only Holder of
Four Worlds Records and
Joint Possessor of Two Others

New York, May Charley Pad
docks sprinting feat, accomplished
at Redland, Cal, ON April %, un-
der conditions that are said to have
been most exacting, means that his
name will go down on the Amateur
Athletic unions record books as a
joint holder in the l00-yard dash
mark, and a lone holder of the 220-
yard, 200-meter, 200-yard and 800
meter distance.
Bob Weaver of Los Angeles, pres
ident of the Amateur Athletic union
of the United States, took the trou-
bic to run UP to Redlands to see
Paddock perform, and will doubt
less add his affidavit to those of the
timers and other officials that ham
died the meet in which the Olympic
champion gave Father Time such
terrific jolting.
1t is interesting to note that one
of the records that Paddock is cred
tied with smashing was that for the
200-yard run a mark of 303-5 sec
onds, made by Bennie Wefers, at
Travers Island i'll 1896. This mark,
though made on track that is none
too fast and around big iield, was
one of the most respected on the A.
A. u. lisr and the fact that Paddock
beat it by the best part of four
yards, indicates the tremendous
speed that the Californian has de-
veloped.

Enter ChicagoMeet
Americans to Get Men Pre-

Next Olympic.

Chicago, May 7.-Thc national
track and field meet which will be
held in Chicago, June Is. will bring
together the best collection OF jave-
line throwers in the history OF ath-
letics in this country.
The defeat of the American javelin
throwers in the recent Olympic
games has evidently spurred college
throwers to greater activity, and al
ready number of conference records
have been broken in various Sec
tions of the country. Some OF the
best records so far this season are as
follows: McBce, Baker college, Isl
feet, 5 inches; Tuck. University of
Oregon, 1877 feet; Curtis, Oberlin
college, los feet, 7 inches: thinner
man, University of South Dakota,
lS5 feet, and Whitlow of the same
school, 40 feet; Mahan, Texas A..
and NJ, 1856 feet, 6 inches; Brede
University of Illinois, l85 feet: Ma
jors. University of California, l85

versity, l7S feet; Dunno, University
OF Michigan, 18l feet; Patrick, Uni
versity of Minnesota, ~ feet; Sundt,
University of Wisconsin, l64 feet.
The Missouri Valley conference
has added the javelin throw to the
list of events for the Missouri Valley
conference meet this year and In
ternational Collegiate American
Amateur Athletic association has
announced that next year they will
add the javelin throw to their pro-
gram.
The javelin throw is a compare
lively new event in American sports
and this accounts for the poor rec
ords in the past. This year, how
ever, should see all of the past
American records bettered.

Great Blue Herons Make Annual
Visit to Nebraska Sandhills

lployes at the Bessey nursery. Each
year the Blue Herons return to their
old home to nest and rear their
young.
Last year, Mr.. Higgins says, the
Hord company which has been
grazing a large number of cattle in
the surrounding hills, fenced off one
of the clumps of trees used by the
the birds to protect the nests OF eggs
and young birds from the live stock
which in rubbing on the trees vigor-
ously shake them, to the detriment
OF the eggs.
The nests, which are rather crude
looking affairs, made of coarse sticks
and grass, are retouched each season
by the addition OF little new ma
terial. The same nests have been
used so long that the blackberry
trees which ordinarily have a very
symmetrical shape, have been fat
tened, bent, and are more or less
stunted from the weight of the nu-
merous nests and continued use by
the birds.
Live on Fish.
At present the birds are nesting.
The eggs are about the size OF
ducks eggs and are of a delicate
greenish blue color. The birds sub
sist largely upon fish, which they
find in the shallow waters OF the
Middle Loup and Dismal rivers ad-
jacent to the Heronry
After the young birds are reared
and the cool days of fall arrive, the
sandhills are deserted by the colony
for the warmer regions of the south.
