|HARVARDGRID
DATES NEXT FALL

| Cambridge, Mass. Dec. S.-The Har-
ward Athletic Association tonight an
nounced the tentative Crimson football
| schedule for next fall. For the first
| time since the war the inter-sectionai
element was totally lacking in the list
of seven games made public. These
dates are:
Oct. 6, pending; 10, Middlebury; 20.
Holy Cross; 81, Dartmouth; Nov. 8,
Tufts; 10, Princeton at Princeton; II,
Brown: 2i, Yale.
The schedule, cut to eight games as a
result of the big three" agreement
that football practice should start only
one week before collepe opens, contains
two newcomers compared with last
season-Middlebury and Tufts. The
last meeting of Tufts and Harvard was
| in 1919. University Of Florida, Centre
and Bowdoin, which met Harvard dur
ing the 1922 season, are missing from
the schedule.
Difficulty in making arrangements
foc the first game has been encoun-
tered, it was indicated, for the JASON
that officials are attempting to arrange
a soft game to open the season and
smaller colleges have not been eager
to tackle the Crimson so early in the
football season. 1t was understood
that Virginia and North Carolina have
been unable to accept the opening en-
gagement.

VAN GLIDER Is
The VICTIM OF
FIRST BY BABE
Bambfno Accepts One on Inside to
Give 1t a Ride Over the
Barrier.
BIZ JOHN d. FOSTER
Copyright, 1892, by The Argus)

New York, May 23.-Ruth has
made No. 1 home run for the sea-
son of 1922. Van Glider of st.
Louis was the chattering victim.
He was withdrawn from the game
after Ruth did it, not because OF
the home run, for it would have
been uncharitable TO put pitcher
on the bench merely because Ruth
had made one home run, but for
reasons of strategy.
Van Glider pitched low and on
the inside to Ruth, but not quite
enough on the inside. He half
grooved the ball. That won't do.
The ball must snip the corner of
the plate to be really effective, and
it must be dropping and not sailing
on a line.
The second extra inning game OF
the series was played by the
Browns and the Yanks, and the
Browns lost it, as they did the 9TH
er. Yet there is nothing to be re-
tracted about their appearance as
a live championship factor.
Cleveland won and Chicago won.
That brought. glum and gloom to
Boston and Washington. Detroit
and Philadelphia played a tie, and
that strengthens the opinion that
Detroit and Philadelphia are i'm
proved ball teams and full of spice.
Giants Shaky.
The Giants are shaky and spiral
ing. All their excess percentage
gained in the east has simmered
away in the stew pan of the west.
Had they another western city to
play they might not even come
home in the lead. Cincinnati is
booming away like a Texas town
sitting over an oil we'll. The Giants
can't break even on the trip. Two
defeats in St. Louis, two in Chica-
go, one in Pittsburgh and two in
Cincinnati out of II games includes
seven ickings. They have won four
games and haven't enough left to
go to make it an even split with
the west and gossip is beginning to
circulate in the National league
that perhaps the New York team
can be beaten out after all.

Boston Has Some
thing to Say or, the
Subject.
BY FAIR PLAY.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus
New York, n. Y, May 23-There
is a report circulating up Boston
way that the New York Athletic
commission, which controls box
ing in the state, is getting set to
take Johnny wilson's title away
from him. This, it is said, is one
of the underlying reasons for the
new rule that champions must de-
fend their titles within six months
Wilson is debarred from fighting
and will not be permitted to fight
within the six months period. So,
say Bostonians, New York intends
to take his title away without Civ
ing him a chance to do battle.
Montreal. which made an offer
for a Dempsey-Wil battle. will
not permit Dempsey's declinaticn
to dim the boxing spirit up there
Authorities have received, by re-
quest, from Boston the code under
which fighting is permitted in the
Bay State and will, it is said, model
their rules upon the Massachusetts
system.
= Massa chusetts, by the way, won't
let Dempsey box in that state. They
have nothing against Jack, but their
theory is that a big heavyweight
battle has a reaction which hurts
boxing for at least a year after the
big fellows have decided their is
sue.
Plans are brewing whereby
Benny Leonard will be asked to
get into the ring against Mickey
Walker, the Newark welter, in the

HOMER IN 9TH
ACCOUNTS FOR
VICTORY NO. 2
Stalker Takes Advantage of Slow
Fielding OF His Drive TO
Flag Pole.
BIZ ]. L. HUGHES.

The cardinals from Ottumwa
came right back yesterday afte--
noon and slapped the Islanders
again. this time for TO victory.
1t was a close, hard fought game
all the way but the visitors had a
wee bit the better of the argument
in the tight places and that was
why they finished with a one run
advantage.
Lefty" Hoeft was opposed by a
brother southpaw in the person OF
Mr.. Beisser. The Islander port
slider pitched a creditable class of
baseball, although nicked for 10
hits, but Beisser's offerings were
in the nature of the form displayed
by Zubay on Sunday. The locals
simply couldn't acquaint them
selves with his assortment OF twls-
ters.
The contest was a see-saw af-
fair, Ottumwa finally taking the
lead in the eighth inning when
Stalker, a new man. hit the ball to
the flag pole, and by reason Of
slow fielding on the part of McDon-
ough completed the circuit. At
that he would have registered a
moment later, for the next batter
poked a single to right.
Ottumwa jumped away in the
lead at the start Of festivities,
counting a tally on Kennedy's sin
gle, Croake's sacrifice and Mann's
safe swat to right field. A fast
double play, Jelinek TO McEwan to
Belz, checked the visitors at this
juncture
Locals Have Lead.
The Islanders assumed the lead
in their third, scoring two runs.
Swenson opened the inning by
drawing a pass. Campbell laid
down a sacrifice on which Beisser
elected to make a play at second
and both runners were safe. Hoeft
tried hard to sacrifice and finally
missed connections on a third
strike However. Jimmy Jelinek
slashed a wicked liner over second
TO scoreA Swenson. Councilman was
passed purposely to get at McDon-
ough, whose fly to right field was
good enough to score Campbell
from third.
Ottumwa knotted the count in the
fourth. Bases on balls to Mann
and Jude. a sacrifice. to Stalker,
and singles by Schuster and Cor
coran did the work.
The Islanders broke the tie in the
sixth Councilman beat out an in
field hit and reached second on
Corcoran's overthrow in a belated
attempt to cut him down at first.
McDonough sent Councilman to
third With a sacrifice. Newell was
Intentionally passed. bringing Belz
to bat. Belz singled past second
to register Councilman.
Count Is Tied.
This advantage of the locals was
short lived, for Kennedy's single,
stolen base and Croake's bingle to
right field in the seventh again put
the score in a knot And Ottumwa
put the game in the win bag in the
eighth when Stalker hit his home
run with one out.
In the Islanders eighth a prom
Using situation was clouded by Ne
Donough's inability to pilfer second
base after being hit by a pitched
ball. There was one out at the
time and Newell at bat In the
ninth. Gray hitting for Belz. was

1t was learned today that Har-
ward has found no reason to believe
that any of her athletes are having
their college expenses paid on any
basis other than scholarships,
which are regarded as perfectly
legitimate This decision follows
no special investigation but is re-
ported to be the fruit of that con-
slant espionage which is said TO
obtain at Harvard.
Comparing times made at the
Princeton-Harvard dual meet and
the Illinois Wisconsin dual meet
last week, shows that Princeton
and Harvard athletes showed su-
periority in eight events, Illinois
and Wisconsin in six events and
one event, the 100-yard dash, a tie
at 10 seconds. Superiority of the
fasteners was shown in the fur
long, the quarter mile. the half
mile, the mile, the 120-yard hur-
dies, the 220-yard hurdles, the
broad jump, the discus, the ham
mer. The middle westerners le,l
in the shot put, the javelin, the
pole vault, high jump, mile and two
mile runs.
There are dopesters who profess
to be able to figure out a Princeton
victory in the opening inter-colleg-
iates at Cambridge, while Illinois is
regarded as likely to win not only
the annual conference meet, June
? and 3 at Iowa City, but the big
National Collegiate Athletic asso-
citation games at Stage Field, Chi
cago, june II.
Just how strongly the east will
be represented at Stage Field is not
as yet clear. But there will. of
course, be representation. From
the west coast California and Lee
land-Stanford are expected to par
ticipate.
Mile. Lenglen had a heart at

against an opponent but the trouble
evidently disappeared when she be-
gan to win. The best thing Suzanne

intimates she may do. Her heart
certainly is not right, but the
chances are no stethoscope would
detect the precise trouble.
