PRESS COMMENT

IS
Some years ago a certain physician
who made a speciality Of diseases u
women wrote q book on diseases %
women IN which he declared that
women must discard corsets and heavy
skirts and must wear fewer clothes.
Had that dear old man lived Ia 81.

the women were dressing TO suit hin.

concerned. The women. however. have
gone him one better: they have dis

wear so little that they have gotten

)-S. M A. GAME IS POSTPONED :
HARVARD TRACK TEAM
 CALLS OFF THE MEETS
 WITH DIXIE COLLEGES

Cambridge Mass. January 1.-The Harvard university's track team. which had planned southern trip for tho spring recess, will not go below the Mason-D Dixon line as a result of the ac- tion by University of Virginia and the Naval Academy. To a communication from Maj. Fred W. M. Moore, graduate manager of athletics at Harvard, say
 ing that the Crimson team included two athletes of negro blood, both institu- tions reslied that they considered it best under the circumstances that track meets with Harvard in April should not be held.
 The cancellation has been made by Harvard. Major Moore said today, add ing that the initiative in the matter was taken by him. When the dates were arranged, the fact that Harvard's negro members might not be welcome was not considered, but subsequently, both Vir- ginia and Annapolis were told that the Crimson team included negroes and that unless Harvard would be welcomed with them, it could not come without them
 Both the Naval Academy and vir- ginia replied that there were so many southerners on their teams that the con- test might prove embarrassing not only for them, but also for the negro mem- bers of the Harvard squad According 1y, the southern trip has been can celled," said Major Moore.
 The track team will have a spring trip, however. Penn State college has invited the Crimson to dual meet 1 there, and one or two other colleges north of the Mason-D Dixon line may be met during the spring recess.

Lindsey Tells Tale of Funniest Finish
 In Racing History
By JAMES J. coRBETT

Jimmy Lindsey, famous as jockey a quarter of century ago, issues forth from his home In Spring field. Ill.,, with this humorous story of a race which took place in the pygone days:
 Tt happened in 1890 at the famous old West Side track in Chicago, later known as the Garfield. track, during the running of the Chicago derby It was not long before the breaking out of the big feud between Garfield and Flaw thorne, wherein the well-known and picturesque old Texas" Brown lost his life. At the time of the derby, in 1890. Waldo and Corrigan were running the West Side track.
 Ten or twelve horses were entered in the derby, the shining lights among them being Pilgrim, owned by G. w. Poole, and the famous Prince Fon.N,, ridden by Monk Overton. On Pilgrim was Bob Sodon. who ranged with Over ton as fine finisher.
 From the very beginning of the race the two classy mounts led the way At the quarter pole they were well in front of the rest of the field and racing it neck and neck At the sixteenth Pill erim went into the lead by q nose.
 PULLS TRICK"
 Then Bob Sodon, on Pilgrim, pulled his trick +.,ffl.
 mere always was a sort of common understanding among riders in those days that when one fellow reached for his whip the jokey nearest him would follow suit.
 Bob Sodon knew this. He knew that also the Jockey who reaches for his whip must have one hand off his mount momentarily. That means the horse runs free and is very likely to lose several strides So Sodon blpffed at grabbing his whip. Overton saw the ac- tion and immediately made snatch for his own whip.
 "Sodon never drew his whip Overton did. As result, Overtons moant fal- tered bit and fell back slightly while Pilgrim kept along on even stride
 "Overton began whipping Prince Fonso who. inch. by inch. began to re- gain his lost ground. Sodon saw this and. applied the steel spurs to the side of his horse. Deeper and deeper did the steel tear into the sensitive skin of Pill grim.
 "Pricked into a nervous furv just a few strides from the wire, Pilgrim turned her neck suddenly and fiercely and seeing Prince Fonso alongside gnashed out and sunk her teeth into the Princes jaw Pilgrim wanted re- venge on somebody. and Princel Fonso was nearest.
 And in that fashion they crossed the wire-with Pilgrims head turned side ways and with her teeth in Prince Fon- so's jaw, with Prince Fonso's head thrust forward-Prince Fonso a victor by a nose.
 The Sodon strategy had failed, and ever afterward Sodon used the whip in : stead of the spurs when the finishes were close,'

Babe Ruth Saued
 Eighteen Games
 For Tanks Himself
By IRWIN M. HOWE

heretofore unknown accomplishment Of George H. (Babe) Ruth of the New York American league club during the 1920 season was his individual respon- sibility for averting IS possible defeats to victories. It was fortunate for the New York Yankees that Ruths name appeared in the lineup for those dozen and half battles, or a much smaller per- centage for games won and lost would have greeted Higgins players at the end of the season.
 As might be readily adduced, Ruth $ circuit drives aided him in adding to his present list of laurels. For in the IS encounters in question he failed to hit homers in only three, but triple on two occasions and double in the third in- stance served to defeat his teams op- po1ents.
 1O7 RUNS TO 76
 New Yorks opposition compiled 76 runs for the mentioned number of tussles whereas Huggins' athletes accumulated TOT markers. Of the Yankees total, Rutk's nefarious hitting enabled eight of his teammates to cross the home plate, besides registering an additional 31 runs himself. It is interesting to note that the slugging star, dispensed IS homers during the act of saving that number of games to his club. Included in this list of four-ply clouts are three engagements wherein he hit the sphere to oblivion twice in one afternoon.
 TIMELY HITTING
 In the work of preventing these possi- ble defeats. Ruth delivered his bingles either at a time when g run or two was soiely needed, or slammed out a drive that clinched the contest. He was for tunate to be the recipient of only l5 bases on balls for the IS games, or this excellent bit of service to his employers might never have been heralded to the baseball world Of the total gifts Ruth was compelled to accept three on two diff ferent afternoons, and for the remaining meetings pitchers allowed him free pas sage to the initial sack only once in each game.
 The Detroit club had reason to deplore Ruth's name in the Yankee lineup more than any other team in the league. Six games which might otherwise have aided the Tigers in their pennant chase were lost because of the unmerciful hitting of the New York home run artist. Boston was conscious of the presence of their former idol on four occasions when his wicked willow spelled defeat; St Louis Washington and Philadelphia took two beatings each at the hands of the para gon of swat. while the Chicago White Sox were vanquished once by the lone efforts of Higgins scintillating perform CT Ruth. however, did not find an op- perfume moment to commit his destruc- tive deeds against Cleveland.

CENTRAL HIGH FIVE ROMPS ON LEAGUE LEADING QUINTET
SIoss- Sheffield Bunch Loses Out In Last Half of Game.
 Final Score Is 28 to 22

In game replete with thrills from start to finish Central High school s basketball team defeated the City league leading Sloss-Sheffield aggrega- ton, 2S to 9 It was one of the best and most interesting games seen in Bir- mingham this season, barring none.
 The Crimson basketeers gave an ex- hibition of fight and never-say-die spirit that was remarkable. Overcoming a six point lead obtained by the Sloss-Shef- f.edA quint in the first half the Central men swept through to nara earned victory in the second half of the en- counter
 Sloss-Sheffield scored only one field goal and four goals srter fouls in the second half while Central made IS of their points in this period of the game.
 The pass work of the Crimsons was excellent. Very few long shots were at tempted practically all of their field goals resulting from fine teamwork, which worked the ball underneath the basket where 1t was tossed through the loop for goal
 Coach Meyers boys also had the Tive man defense" working just right. This style of play was brought into use by Central in the latter half and it's ef- fectiveness can be judged by the fact that only one field goal was scored by the City leaguers in this period of playy.
 Mule Stubbs was the highest point scorer of the afternoon. He rang up four field goals and six goals after fouls, q total of 14 points Lawley and Anderson were also offensive stars.
 For Sloas-SheffIeld Montgomery was Jthe best offensive man, scoring eight points. Whatley caged three field goalss
 The defensive work of the Central stars. farrell, Copeland. Goldstein and Knight was good.
