Greatest CrotOd in History of
New York Baseball to Welcome
Babe Ruth on Return to Scene
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

copyright, 1872, by Inc ArguS-D
New York, May 19.-Babe Ruth IS
presumable return to baseball in
this city tomorrow has gone be-
yond the curiosity of the fan-at-
large. 1t has become a craze on
the part of New York baseball pub
lie to be present when he plays his
first game in the regular season
of 1922.
Before the offices of the New
York baseball club were opened
Thursday morning a quarter of a
mile of would-be ticket purchasers,
over 10000, extended down the
late in the afternoon. Every box
in the stadium was purchased be-
fore the tickets had barely been
offered. There are only two re-
served seat sections and those were
sold. The fans clamored for tick
cts of general admission to the sta
dunn and to the bleachers.
Babe Ruth souvenirs were sold
and the owners of the Yanks were
told to play him no matter what
the decision might be from head
quarters. A greater demonstration
over one ball player probably never
has been made than was shown in
the advance rally for Ruth. The
police officials are preparing to take
care of a larger crowd than ever
saw a world series game in New
York, both on Saturday and Sun
day, and with favorable weather it
is expected the stands will be filled
by 1 o'clock on both days.
Speaker Worried.
Iris Speaker looks worried. He
is fighting as hard as ever and the
greatest inspirational manager in
the game never gives evidence by
word that he is fearful over the
outcome of the American league

IN GOLF THEY
CAN COMEBACK,
BARRY PROVES
Champ of 20 Years
Ago Licks Pres
emf Holder.
BY WALTER CAMP.

Copyright, 1922. by The Argus.)
Twenty-Five years ago a youthful
golf prodigy came down from one
of the English universities to Prest-
wick and succeeded in winning the
British amateur title. This last
week, while C. Hunter, present
holder of this honor, played in a
match against A. G. Barry, now
Major Barry, who won the title 20
years ago, although Hunter was up
at the tenth and apparently a GER
tain winner the veteran Barry,
playing the same phenomenal golf
which he showed in his college
days, developed a brilliant streak
iand won the match. And they say
they never come back"
Last week I remarked that youth
was in the saddle in our educa-
tional institutions. The case of
Principal H. Eugene Cox, of the
Westport high school, New Bed
ford, would seem to add confirm
alton. Recently he took his stu
dents to a ball game instead of a
health meeting. FOT JH1S he Was
dismissed from his position.
On Monday the dismissed prin-
Icipal came to school at the usual
hour, disregarding his dismissal
and two-thirds of the students fol-
lowed him out of the class rooms,
despite the pleas of the new prin-
cipal.
Radcliffe's new order concerning
students should be needed by the
authorities of all girls colleges.
The edict is that all candidates for
an A. B. degree must be able to
dive, swim and float before they
can be graduated.
At most mems colleges know
ledge of swimming and life-saving
is essential to a degree and a very
wise rule it is, since water sur
rounds the land animal on all sides
and there is never any telling when
he, or she, will fall, or be pushed

finding that cares rest heavily on
his shoulders, after his experience
of last season and the i'll luck that
he has found in the east. 1.-The
whole thing is" said he, that the
eastern teams are not so weak as
they looked in comparison with the
runaway start of the Yanks against
Washington, Boston and Philadel-

Courage Is Said
To Be Commodity

EVANSTON, Ill. June 24-Cowardice
is a matter of physiology and not of
mentality and character. according
to a theory advanced by DIR. Charles
Louis Mix. professor of clinical
medicine, Northwestern University.
Fear" is caused by the suspen-
sion of secretion by the adrenal,
which are just above but not con-
nected with, the kidneys. 1t is this
stopping of the secretions at the
moment of fright that causes the di-
lated pupil of the eye, the dry mouth,
shaking knees and soaring heart that
are the symptoms of fear" says DR..
Mix
after the first moment of alarm,
the glands renew their secretions
with more than normal activity,
thus restoring the balance of courage
and enabling the animals under OBJ
servation to cope vigorously with
the situations confronting them
The new discovery opens the possl-
bility of making all men highly cou-
rageous, eliminating congepital cow
ardice and establishing absolute tests
of the capacity of individuals for
perilous ventures where the individ
uals safety depends upon quick, cool
headed action, the doctor asserts.
The scientists who are following
the investigation expect to evolve
some means, medical or surgical. that
will increase the flow of deficient
adrenal glands and speed up the re-
actions if the glands are tardy in
their discovery from the fright inhi-
bition, he adds.

Bic DEMAND IN
CAMP INC GOODS

The great call of the out-of doors
to motorists has made an increased
demand upon the camp comforts that
can be made which go to make the
trip more pleasant and work much
lighter, according to Mr.. Barnum OF
the Phoenix Tent and Awning Com
pany.
People this year are going 10
travel with all the comforts or nome
that it is possible to take with them
without taking too much space IN the
car or adding excessive weight TO the
necessary luggage" says Barnum'
land we have decided to make all the
comforts with the one idea IN NINA
of conserving space and lessening
weight" We carefully went over all
the items that are necessary for the
completion of a modern camp and
are manufacturing them according to
the latest designs of equipment.
In the list of camp comforts we
have included the house for the
camping party, the tent, folding
chairs and tables, portable Kitchens
with different size stoves that fold
into compact packages, stools, chairs
and reclining chairs, cooking uten-
sils that are easily handled and can
be folded; canteens, water buckets
and wash pans, in fact everything
that can be thought of that viii
make the camp out in the woods, in
the mountains or beside the trout
streams seem more homelile.
The greater portion of the camp
ing paraphernalia that is found at
the Phoenix Tent and Awning COM
pany is manufactured in the local
plant which is one of the best
equipped of its Kind in the entire
southwest By making the goods at
home the management is assured
that quality and Workmanship is
absolutely dependable and special or
ders for special sizes of any article
that the purchaser may desire may be
obtained without any delay. The
olant is so well stocked that any size
orders may be handled efficiently
upon demand and the mail order
business of the company is growing
daily. Arizona people these days are
demanding Arizona Made products
