Holy Cross Has Swat King
 of the Collegiate. World
Kenneth "sy" simondinger, Rivals Bambino's s Hitting in Upper Circle of Baseball.

Fans, meet Kenneth "Sy" Simon dinger of Holy Cross, the Babe Ruth oi collegiate baseball
 "Sy" busted into the hall of swat fame recently when he crashed out three tremendous circuit wallops in a single game off a couple of Eli Yale's choicest tWirlers.
 Now big league scouts are Hooking to Fitten Field, Worcester, to give him the once over along with two or three other of Jack Barry's Purple nine phe- nOmS.
 Everyone that followed football last fall heard of the dazzling feats of Holy Cross rip-tearing halfback with the rather uncommon moniker, Simondinger came unheralded to Holy Cross from Lehigh University, where he spent a year. Cleo O'Donnell was not long con- cluding he had real footballer in the freshman class stranger, whose home is until the Purplc's objective contests that his ability was fully appreciated
 The baseball season rolled along and little more was thought of his putting i'll an appearance with the diamond can didates than when he first turned out for the varsity eleven. Few figured for moment he would displace any mem Der of the 1920 nine which won the Eastern intercollegiate championship, and which rc-appeared intact again this spring, However, "Sy" was not wor- ried over the fact he must oust a vet eran to get a berth He went out and showed Jack Barry, who Is enjoying his trst year as coach of the Worcester college team, succeeding Jesse Burketr.
 This bird Is lightning fast, a sure catch and has powerful throwing arm, combination that makes him a gar dener of rare class. He could bust 'err7. too, and when the team went on its i'll center field, sandwiched in between the Dugan twins.
 In the early season games Simonding- CT, a -r1ghtf1and fielder and batter, failed to startle anyone by his long hitting. In fact. Coach Barry did not fancy SSv's" style at the plate and consequently had him shift his batting form His con- meeting for three terrific horners in the ale game was the result and now his mates have tabled him the ''Bambino''
 His only baseball experience previous to this year was picked up while he was with a shipyard team during the war. As he Is only 20 years old now, he was quite a bit too young to be found in the regular service during the late world conflict
 He is blessed with a fine physique, standing feet 9 inches in height and tipping the beam, in good condition, at l05 pounds He is natural athlete, be- ing a star in track as well as football and baseball. He has been forced to give up the Cinder path to devote his attention to baseball. but after watch ing him step around in uniform we figure he would in short time be able to step the century in close to 10 sec onds.
 Major league scouts have been talk ing turkey with Simondinger in an at tempt to land him. "Sy" is an enter ing class student at Holy Cross, and has not the slightest intention for pro- fessiOnal baseball for a good while yet
 'Sy' entered the Worcester institution. knowing that in addition to football he would receive a fine baseball training under such men as Burkett or Barry.
