A large detachment of midshipmen

The soccer crowd numbers from 100

Indoor Polo Finds
Favor Among Colleges

Indoor polo bids fair to become one
of the most populfr OF collegiate
sports. Experts are Of the opinion
that this new game which is being
taken up by most of the big Eastern
institutions, will soon become pop
ular. The college polo game is fast
coming to the front, and the indoor
game with three players on a side il
fast gaining many supporters.
Indoor polo Is played with a softer
ball than is used in the outdoor game,
and the playing surface Is covered
with bark in order that the ponies
may have a secure footing. The game
is very fast and the fewer number
4 players makes the individual work
more conspicuous.
The main objection to the indoor
game is the lack of space and the
sporting atmosphere that is secured
in the open, and that is the reason
why the colleges will get together
in the future and try to play the
game on the football fields of the
various colleges.
There is no reason why It should
not become extremely popular as a
college game, and could be played in
connection with some of the big
track meets, as an extra feature.
The University OF Pennsylvania,
Yale, Princeton and Cornell have or
ganized an indoor polo league, and
Il Is expected that Harvard will also
Join soon. AS the schedule runs, each
team viii play each other team in the
league two games. thus the teams will
have half of their games at home
and the. other half away

JOHN McGRAW
MAY RETURN TO
COACHING LINE
Has Given Fans Little Chance
To Slip Him Twice-over in
Last Two Seasons.
By W. s. FARNSwORTH.

NEW YORK. Jan. 21.-John ].
IN McGraw baseball,s greatest
manager. is seriously consider.
ing returning to the coaching lines
the coming season.
During the pennant fight of the
Giants last year the little leader
remained on the bench. The wear
before he seldom went to either
the first base or third base box, al
though in two or three tight games
he did 20 out and afford the fans
a chance TO give him the we'll
known north and south.
Last spring he announced that hence.
forth he would be a bench manager
strictly. He admitted that Il was
sure hard work TO SIT there under
cover when the battle on the diamond
was raging wildly, The nervous
strain wns tough on the veteran Of
many q tough game.
During the past/two weeks McGraw
has received over a hundred letters
from friends, asking him to get back
on the coachipg job in the coming
campaign, and right now he is try.
Ing to figure out just what he win do.
In Hughey Jennings and "Cozy''
Dolan the Giants manager has two
corlxing Assistants, yet neither has
earned the reputation of McGraw
as a field director.
President Stoneham Is anxious tn
see McGraw back on the lines again
''But Mac had better take off O
couple of dozen pounds or get steel

McGraw, by the way, plans to leave
for Havana within a week or ten days
and does not intend to return to our
fair city until about a week before
the Giants start for the training camp
at San Antonio. This does not mean
however, that the manager is not
planning another trade.
II is almost sure thing that within
the next month the local National

other first-class pitcher. McGraw ad
mits that he wants to strengthen his

NEW HAVEN is
TAKING CREDIT
FOR JOE DUGAN
Declares Town Has Given Birth
To Another Great Player" In
Latest Boast.

NEW HAVEN. Coan-. Jan 21.-
~ From this city. the home Of
world champion shortstops.
has came another hve-wire posi-
bility- Joe Dugan.
Treading IN illustrious footsteps,
he has been transferred to the
Boston Red Sox. for his first play
ing assignment with a pennant con-
tender. with the blessing of his
native town and the assurance and
prediction that il he treads the path
of the New Haveners who have
graduated from the same home
town position he will reach world
supremacy.
New Haven has come 20 feel that
when It contributes a shortstop to
the major leagues his future is as
sured. II has given more leading
shortstops to the big circuit than any
other minor league city-mure than
some of the major league towns
and when IL stamped Joe Dugan with
it's seal of approval II placed him as
the likely next of long line OF mon
archs In his infield station.
Peck Also Member.
Just a decade ago the Elm City
contributed another SON to the majors
Roger Pecldnpaugh. His career Of
distinction and achievement in Cleye-
land and New York eliminated In the
American League the past season
when he contributed invaluable CO.
operation to the league pennant cop
ped by the Yankees.
Ten years before Freddy Parent ex-
changed the dust of the Elm City for
that of the Hub, exactly the route
now being travelled by Joe Dugan,
and the result was an infield for the
Red Sox that spelled world and league
titles.
Slipping back another decade into
the contribution OF New Haven to
the big show, slender Monte Cross,
won his diploma from the home town
OF Yale University, and romped to
Philadelphia. He was a pinion wheel
in the Machine OF Connie Mack that
ground out American League and
world championships for nearly ten
years.
Back to Corcoran's Days.
One step farther back takes the
student Of diamond research to Tom
my Corcoran, a name not so familiar
to the present generation Of fans, but
a kingpin among the top-notchers OF
the game from 1890 to 1905. Tommy
led the league in the Cincinnati,
Brooklyn and New York shortstop
positions for a generation with hard
ly a rival for all-round playing
honors.
The mantle of Corcoran, Cross,
Parent and Peckinpaugh seems about
to fall on Dugnn. Since he received
his schooling on that breeder of
shortstop champions, the New Haven
diamond. he has been buried in the
American League morgue, the Ath-
letics. Dugan believes the time is
just ripe for brace in the Red Sox
standing

WOMAN
HEADS LIST OF
TRAP-SHOOTERS
Mrs. C. e. Groat. of Long Beach,
Is Perhaps Smallest in Stat
ure of Women Marksmen.

NEW YORK. Jan. 21-Despite
IN the fact that she Is perhaps
the smallest in stature of any
of the great women stars Of trap
shooting, Mrs. C. E. Groat, of Long
Beach. California, during the sea-
son Of 1921. proved herself the
mightiest with the shotgun.
At 1925 registered targets. Mrs.
Groat made the splendid average
of 1921, and thus is ranked In first
position of the women trapshootcrs
of North America.
Secretary Stoney McLinn, of the
American Trapshooting Association,
made this announcement yesterday at
the New York headquarters, and like
wise made public the complete list OF
women who, by their skill with the
shotgun, won a place on this roll of
honor, which is annually composed Of
twenty-five names.
1000 Targets Qualify.
No shooter was considered for a
position unless she had shot at 1000
or more registered targets. for that
number Is required to obtain an Off.
cial average. To top this list Of the
IlrbJ LWenIy-IlVe, MIS-. tTOaI was
compelled to beat out many worthy
rivals, and among them was Mrs.
Toots Randall, Of New York, who
holds the women's championship at
single targets of North America.
Mrs. Randall stands third on the
list with an average of .9036.
Tenth in the standing Is Mrs. Lou
Percy, of Jersey City, N. j., who won
the indoor championship at Madison
Square Garden last winter.
Among the women who are given a
rating this year are many who won
their State or their zone champion
ships. Some were fortunate enough
to win both. There also are four
former national champions who sue.
ceeded In making places. They are.
Mrs. L. @. vogel. OF Detroit, who
stands seventh; Mrs. A. II. Winkler,
Chicago. eighth; Mrs. d. J. Dalton,
Warsaw. Ind, eleventh, and Mrs. ].
II. Bruff, Pittsburgh, Pa. fifteenth.
OF all the former champions, none
ever hung up the remarkable record
which Mrs. Randall did in the Grand
American Handicap Tournament at
Chicago last August, for she broke
SO out Of 100 to capture the national
title. /,

Powers came to Rusk county

Instead OF the sound of picolos
