BOYLEMEN HIT
BALL HARD TO
WIN, Il TO 8
Home RIM by Lenahan With Bases
Loaded In Sixth Causes
Locals Downfall
Especial to The Argus.)


MarshaIItown, Iowa, May 20
The Ansons clouted the ball hard
yesterday and won the second game
Of the series, IL to 8. The Island
ers played ragged fielding game,
but IL was Lenahan's home run over
the centerfield fence in the sixth
with the bases loaded that was the
deciding factor againstshe visitors.
Radloff worked the first three in
nings against the locals and was
found for five hits and as many
runs. Hoeft, who relieved him,
proved no mystery TO the Ansons,
who were out to revenge the to 0
defeat of Wednesday.
The day was raw and cold and
this fact seemed to affect the play
Of the Islanders more than the
Ansons.
Holsclaw lasted four innings
against the vicious bats of Rock Is
land. In the fourth the islanders
took the lead by one score by
counting three runs, but Marshall
town came right back in its half
OF. the inning and counted a brace
OF tallies.
With the count IL to 6 against
them in the ninth, the Islanders put
over two runs, but Schweite set
tied down and retired them in the
midst of what appeared to be a
dangerous rally.

peculiar angle. Even some of
those who say that Ruth got what
he deserved insist that he should
have been suspended for a year
Tor not at all. Others think that
he should have been fined huge
sum and not suspended. None of
that alters the fact that he has
proved as an individual to have the
attraction of world series. or
its character the rush to see him
lis a demonstration without preced-
ent in the history of the game.
Cleveland's Indians have the
rheumatic" That's what ais
them. They are no longer young
men not afraid of their shadows
but old men who turn their heads
the moment that they hear a sus-
picious sound behind them. They
have been overtaken SO often from
the rear that they are as nervous
as a flock of wild ducks bombarded
all the way up the coast on their
flight to the north.
The Yanks trimmed them in their
last appearance in New York for
the first trip east with such over
whelming ease that folks couldn't
believe they were looking on the
Cleveland team. The Clevelands
lack pep and pitching.
Cobb Not Worrying.
Detroit lost its second game on
the eastern circuit, being defeated
by Washington. Yet why should
Cobb worry. His players fought
Washington up to the finish of the
ninth and he has lost only twice
since he left home. Chicago turned
on the Athletics but the Sox were
due to win sometime. It's against
the percentage to say you must
lose all of the time.
The National league passed an
uneventful day with Brooklyn los
ing as usual, ST. Louis being the
winner, and the Cincinnatis after
long siege of rain were so re-
freshed that they defeated Philadel-
phia.

Signs of the times are always in
teresting to study One of the most
legible signs just now is the pro-
gress being made by track sports
st the expense of college baseball.
There are not few seats of high
err learning where baseball is not
played. where interest in track and
ffeld sport has grown amazingly.
Thirty Thousand spectators at the
Pennsylvania Relays is a sigrifi-
cant indication of the trend.
The fact that various nations
have track sports as common
possession has been a factor in the
growth of the popularity Signifi-
cant international meetings which
tend more than many realize to the
drawing of alien peoples together
in the bonds of friendly under
standing have been in large meas
ure responsible for the current
slant. Then, too, opportunities for
large numbers of students to rem
resent their universities are in no
sport so abundant Consider that
some eighty men are involved on
each side in a dual track meet.
Harry Hillman, the great Dart
mouth trainer. says that IL a boy
VIII come out and labor faithfully
for four years. no matter how mea-
gre may have been his original en-
dowment. he is bound to show
development that will win for him
the award of his college letter.
While there will be no regular

.GREB LOOKS TO

FOR CHAMPION
Possesses Ideal Build
For Job of Title
Holder.
BY FAIR PLAY.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, May 20. - Watching
Harry Greb work out for his Tues
days battle against Gene Tunney,
for the light heavyweight title, one
gets ever more clearly the impress
sion that Greb is in the class. You
feel, watching him move lithely
about the ring, that here is a boy OF
what the champions are made. His
build is ideal, and curiously
enough, the muscles of his arms
show like those of a blacksmith In
most fighters the muscles do not
show under the skin.
Greb never showed more graph
cally what separates a first-class
fighter and man of lower class than
he did in his battle against Al Rob
erts. Here was Roberts, a big,
strapping fellow with terrific
wallop and yet Greb stood toe to
toe with him, ducking the danger
Gus blows and plastering Roberts
so swiftly that the Staten Islander
thought boxing glove factory had
exploded within the near vicinity
The fans are all excited over this
Tuesday encounter and there is no
doubt the Garden will be filled to
the limit. So far the betters have
been cagy and few wagers of any
large sums have been announced
Tho tendency 81 far has been toward
2 to L on Greb, who gave the long
end artists bitter lesson in the
Gibbons affair.

Dubuque fans are radiating en-
thusiasm over the showing of Larry

anything but a losing proposition,
Mullen began his winning streak
against Rock Island and has been
going strong since then. Yesterday

but it would seem Larry was
not satisfied. So far rs we
know, Wilson was not given a
chance on the mound.
With the exception of Ottumwa,
all teams of the league are closely
punched in the standings. That club
has hit a streak of bad luck in the
last week or ten days. Drohan, how
ever, intends to assume part of the
pitching burden, which should help
