TO SAVE THE SITUATION.

some of those who were crying loudest
against the United States entering the League
bf Nations, declaring that what goes on in Eu-
rope is none of our business; that we should
withdraw from European affairs entirely and at
lend only to our business, are becoming greatly
alarmed over the way things are shaping up
throughout the world. They are realizing at
last that the United States cannot escape no
matter what her intentions may be, and that,
,fter all. the United States can help herself most
" helping other nations solve their problems.
Among those who were the most bitter against
he policies of President Wilson in devising the
League of Nations was the New York Herald.
Nothing was too bitter for the Herald to say
against our entering the league; no sarcasm was
90 biting for it to utter against President Will
sons policies,
Butvwhat do we find in the Herald today?
On Sunday, in its leading editorial, the Herald
expressed grave concern over the political situa-
ton as it is shaping up in Europe, due to the
German indemnity. The Herald says:
'"This now dangerous question goes very
far beyond the relations of France to Ger
many and of Germany to France. 1t is no
more local than was the great war itself.
1t interlaces with the whole world.
1T is possible that we are too far away

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason.



/ hear men saying every day. as 1
loaf round the village square. "Oh.
paying rent has made me gray. and
filled my life with carking care. The
rented house in pre-war years, was
something people might endure. later
came the profiteers. who raised the
price and made men poor. l live in
yonder dingy shack whose shingles
flop in every gale: the rent l pay
has ~sprained my back and used up
all my hard-earned kale. And now
I plan to build a home. however
humble it may be. and life therein
will be a pome. a picnic fraug,t with
harmless glee. Long years I've trod
the same old rut. which rut l shall
no longer tread: I'll build myself a
lowly hut, and bid the landlord soak
his head" Methinks a million weary
guys. from whom the rent hogs drew
a groan. will in the nearby future
rise, and put up shanties of their
own. The bitter years have made
them long to w their rooftrees and
their homes. wherein to chirp the
evening song, and swat the flies upon
their domes. The mani in disorder
stand. for they've been charged and
soaked to death. but they will build
throughout the land when they've
had time to get their breath. And
they will spend long peaceful years
in their wi shacks of tin or wood,
and so the crimes of proiteers may
in the end bring lasting good.

Once upon a time there was a
great big giant; and IL you do not
believe 1t, l will tell you his name.
1t was Antaeus. If you will say that
name over two or three times you
will find that it is not hard.
There IA another giant, and his
name was Hercules. He was the
strongest man who ever lived. I'M
ess it was Samson. Hercules carried
a club bigger than the big stick of
Teddy Roosevelt.
Hercules challenged Antaeus to
wrestle, and Antaeus accepted.
Hercules was the stronger. But
every time Antaeus touched the
earth, he felt a thrill of new
strength. So finally Hercules lifted
him up from the earth. and held
him up till he strangled Antaeus
to death. That was the worst kind
of hold-up.

THE Q OF A GIANT
By DIR. w. e. BARTON

This Is a true story, and Antaeus
is the man of today who lives in
doors and keeps books or sells goods
err has an Office or teaches school
or prepares m or edit newspa
pers. And Hercules is this modern
life of ours. this struggle and wres-
tie and restlessness. He is choking
the life out of us. Town life kills
people; the third generation disap-
pears. That is the hold up and
strangle hold of modern life.
But we Antaean folks. though we
he not giants. have this remedy,
which we learned from Antaeus and
from Adam, that to touch the soil Is
to renew life.
The spring is near Get out and
make a garden. 1t may not be much
of a garden so far as vegetables are
concerned, but it will do you a
whole lot of good.

Football Crowds
 Afford Princeton
 Serious Problem
7o,ooo Applications, With Seats for Only 42,ooo, for Yale
 Game.

- Princeton, N. J., May 2o.-Limi- tation of undergraduate tickets seems to be the only solution 10 the prob lem confronting Princeton in the complaints of many alumni that they have 10 witness every ale-Princeton football game from behind the goal posts.
 Ii is generally believed that many students, particularly freshmen, do not use their allotment of tickets per sonally, but pass them on to out siders. so that less fortunate grads have to take "back seats"
 pointed by the graduating council reported at a recent meeting of that body that it had made a full inquiry into the matter i'll cOnjunctoin with Dean Howard McClenahan as chair man of the board of athletic control Athletic Association, and had found that the distribution is made abso- lutely according to the rules laid down.
 The whole problem arises from the need of accommodating the appIica- tions of more than 10000 persons with less than 42,ooo seats in Palmer Stadium. When half of the 20 sec tiOns have been allotted to the wis iting team, only 10000 arc left Prince ton, and although half of these go to the student body. It is too late now to change the distribution sys- tenn for next fall, but a change is not al all unlikely for 1922

Syracuse Captain
 Dropped From Boat

Syracuse, N. Y, May 2o.-When the Syracuse University crew meets the Navy two weeks hence 1t is not likely that Captain Gus Rammi, stroke on last years varsity, will be in the Orange boat.
 Rammi has been rclcgated to the junior boat and his seat taken by Hol- comb. Coach Ten Eyck at first shift ed Rammi from stroke to No. G in the varsity and then showed him out of the boat altogether into the sec ond string crew
 This is but one of the steps in Ten EyCk's campaign to shift his men around until he has the strongest combination regardless of who Is eff fcctcd. Every combination Ten Eyck has got together so far this season has been beaten by the freshmen and this has served to force the veteran coach to take drastic measures to pick his best men.
 Tn the class races recently the freshman crew again came up winner over the socalled varsity and junior crews, repeating it's performance of former days.
 In Ten Eyck's opinion there is nothing wonderful about the fresh man crew. He says it is not par tiCularly fast, but that it shows prom isc of developing.

Holy Cross Again
 Turns Back Yale
Tunney, Big Purple Hurler, Whole Show in Game at
 Worcester

Jim Tunncy, the sensational Holy Cross freshman pitcher, who hcaved the Purple to a win over Harvard at Cambridge Wednesday, turned back Y ale for the second time this season at Worcester, Saturday. The score was : to ?, some different from the II to I count registered in the pre- vious game played by the same teams,
 The all-round work of the big Holy Cross yearling pitcher was a revela tion In four times at bat himself he knocked off an equal number of base hits, two more than he allowed the entire \ ale team during the nine innings. He scored one of the Holy Cross runs, threw out seven Yale players himself an dstarted a pretty double play.
 The bespcctacled Coxe was hit hard by Holy Cross throughout and had he not gotten out of tight holes on numerous occasions the score against him would have been much larger Coach Barry's team had 10 men left on bases. Len Dugan was a close second with three safe blows to his credit.
 Crane got both of Yale's hits, a brace of slashing singles. In the IS innings he has worked against Yale this season Tunncy has allowed but five hits.

 Bcnne was the envy of all the race drivers on the coast tracks last year because his car had sclf-startcr and numerous other comforts uncommon to race cars, but the car was miles an hour slower than most of the speed boats. When the drivers would swish past him they'd shout "Taxi!' to Bonnie and the nickname has re- maincd with him.

ENTIRE FIELD IS DISQUALIFIED IN
 BIG RACE MEET
Jockeys All Punished for Foul Tac- tics in Steeplechase Ending
 in Riot.
The strange spectacle recently was

The strange spectacle recently was offered at the Berlin stccplcchase at Karlshorst, remarks the Berlin cor respondent of The London Times, when the entire field was disqualified in one race and the race committee decided that all jockeys concerned should be recommended for punish ment.
 The race was the Frcdcrsdorf Stakes of 2I ,ooo marks, the distance being two miles and two furlongs Four horses, Wettcrscheide (the ia vorite), Milton, Liesc and Barbar started. They went away at a com fortablc canter, and as one horse after another tried to draw away the jockey, leaving nothing to chance, pulled him back. This went on for nearly half the distance. The favor ite followed an elegant bending course between the jumps. He was soon "out of the race" but afterWard the remaining three horses would not be denied and finished, all hard pull ed, in the following order: Barbar, Liese, Milton, with the favorite no where.
 A scene of great disorder ensued, and the jockeys were pursued to the weighing room by an angry mob of disappointed packers, Wcttcrschcide having had great following.
 The cream of the event was to fol- low. The jockeys committee de- clarcd all disqualified on the ground that the time had been exceeded, but it was found that the totalizator rule provided that bets must be paid even if horse was disqualified to win or for place owing to the time limit being exceeded Clearly the rule ncv- CT contemplated the performance. En- trance fees and stakes were contis- catcd by the committee, but packers of Barbar were paid at IS 10 10.

YACHT RACING SEASON TO
 OPEN HERE IN TWO WEEKS
More Than 700 Sailing Craft Will Take Part in Matches in Sound and Nearby Waters.
