and Track Meet Engages
College Followers.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, July 23.-It
was America versus Britain at Har-
ward stadium today when the joint
Harvard.Yale team met on this coun-
try's greatest cinder path to contest
athletic supremacy with Oxford and
Cambridge universities Of England
For the day two ancient intense
rivalries were forgotten. The Crimson
and the Blue fought under one stand
ard, as did the invaders, who seldom
do so at home.
Each team was conceded about an
even chance for victory. This showed
turn of opinion. as when the games
were first spoken of a British victory
was generally predicted.
Since that time, however, at least
six of the original British contestants
have been forced to withdraw, either
because of injury or Illness.
Only first places will count in the
scoring unless a tie results. In such
an event, second places will be scored.
Many expect such nn outcome and be-
lieve the Americans have good
chance of winning on such a basis.
British strength in the 440-yard
dash, the SS0-yard run, the one-mile
mer throw is expected. The Ameri-
can athletes should excel in the hur-
dies, shot put, high jump, and broad
Jump, with an even chance in the
century dash.

FRANTIC SEARCH
MADE FOR WAIVERS
PLAYERS SIGNED
Carbon Copies May Be Produo-
ed II Papers Said to Have Been

CHICAGO. July e3.-A frantic
search is on today for the i'm
hunity waivers supposed to have
been signed by, Eddie Cicotte. Claude
Williams and Joe jackson, three of
the former White Sox ball players
who are on trial for conspiracy to
throw the 1919 world series 20 Gin
cinnad, when they made their al
legged confessions before the grand
jury which indicted them.
The waivers are vital. Judge
Hugo Friend has ruled that the con-
fessions may be admitted as evil
dence IL IL can be established they
were offered voluntarily.
Discovery that the documents had
disappeared was made when attor-
neys for the State sought to intro
duce the confessions. Defense
counsel objected and the State was
unable to produce the waivers il de-
clared the indicted players had
signed.
In an attempt to prove the con-
LESSONS voluntary, Harvey l.. Re-
plogle, a former assistant States
attorney, who conducted the inves-
tigation before the grand jury was
called as witness. Replogle testi-
fled that the confessions were made
without promises Of immunity.

copies of the confessions said to have
been made by the players were miss

Judge Friend Is expected to make
a final ruling on Monday as to the

ruled that the confessions, If admit

Barnes Is Long, But
Not On Stuff
Sartorial

Long Jim Barnes, open cham
pion, doesn't look a thing like
golfer. His shock Of hair is sur
mounted by flat cap. He wears
an ordinary shirt, perhaps a
striped one occasionally, a soft
collar and ordinary tie. His sleeves
are rolled down. His white trous-
ers, the ordinary kird men gener-
ally wear in summer, are held up
by black belt. He wears brown
shoes, which unless you looked at
the soles for the golf calks, look
like ordinary shoes. Jim Barnes
might have stepped from the yard
back of bungalow, where he was
looking over his pet hens, or he
might have just walked out of tho
house and over to the corner groc-
cry or to post a letter, instead of
stepping up to President Harding
at Columbia to receive the open
championship golf trophy. Com
pared to sartorial golfing delights,
Jim Barnes doesn't class. 1t might
be mentioned in passing, however,
that he sings a mean set of clubs
against what is known as fifty"
