A games that may be recommend
ed as interesting and yet not so ex-
citing as to cause heart strain,
heart pressure and concomitant
ills, is herewith suggested: to-wit,
find an American golfer, amateur
Or pro, who is going to play in Eng
land this summer. Jock Hutchin-
son? Maybe, but just now the under
standing is that he will follow Bill
Tilden's example in tennis and not
defend his title as British open
champion. Jim Barnes, it is re-
ported, will also remain at home
Walter Hagen may go. He is not
certain about it. Who else? Any
body know?
1t is a pathetic tale that Bill
Spargo of Boston has to tell about
Tommy Mcnamara, the Princeton
baseball captain, who was barred
from play because he had accepted
loans of money to pay his way
through college. List summer
Tommy received offers from several
summer resorts who wanted good
baseball players. Being a fair and
square boy he went to the college
authorities with his offers and was
advised not to accept So instead
he went out west and worked all
summer in foundry. Other base
ballers who received similar offers
did not work in foundries. Tommy
is out of intercollegiate ball on a
technically and the others are in.
AS in spring practice at various
colleges throughout the country,
so at Columbus, the Ohio state uni
versity players resorted entirely to
drop and place kicks to score points
following touchdowns. The indica-
lions as to what will be done in the
fall after touchdowns have been
made are too clear to overlook.
In figuring ON the title in lawn
tennis singles this summer, let it be
understood that the difference
among the best of the top notchers
is only a matter of half a dozen
points in five set match. Tilden
may make that margin look like a
mile when the championships begin
in the summer, again he may not.
The Lexington, Mass, golf club
is ably solving the problem of long
waiting lists through the establish
ment of limited membership sys-
tenn whereby those on the roster
of walters may play golf every day
from Monday to Friday, inclusive,
holidays excepted. May the idea
spread.
The movement for municipal
golf courses is spreading like wild
fire, particularly in the middle west
where they have more enlightened
attitude toward the public than
they have in the east. New York
has only four municipal courses
while Chicago has just opened her
eighth. Toledo, Ohio, will soon
have four courses.

What is this about a man in one
Of our university crews having been
allowed to row for some days with
an infected foo? Certainly the
medical authorities of this univer-
sity could not have sanctioned any
sports the authorities in addition to
sports the authorities in additionto
other duties have a grave respon-
sibility in making certain tina: the
health and well being of athletes
are guarded constantly. In this
instance there appears to have been
a case of boys life jeopardized
simply to prevent a break in the
boat.
DIR. Ravenel, professor of proven
tive medicine at the University of
Missouri, comes out fatty with the
hard and too fast" He adds that
the chances of death after so years
of life are increasing rather than
diminishing.
This is quite a long line of
thought often set forth in this col
umn. 1t is to say our preventive
work is improving chances of life
in the first five years, but that civ
ilization is killing off increasing
numbers of our men at so. When
one stops to think what a frightful
economic waste is involved in the
education and training of business
and professional men only to lose
them in their middle careers one is
appalled,. Yet, what wonders mild,
regulated exercise will do to pre-
vent this.
l am often asked by men whose
affairs confine themselves closely
to their offices what may be done
to give them better digestions,
smaller waist lines and more pep.
The daily dozen exercises may be
as an absolute solv-
ent. Or a morning and evening
walk to and from the Office, two
miles a day, say, will work the as
tonishing results.

WILL KILBANE
take A CHANCE
With VINCENT?
Must Be Well Paid for His Title
Against Puncher Like
Martin.
BY FAIR PLAY.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, May 4.-Will he?
Won't he? The questions apply to
Johnny Kilbane and the talked OF
meeting with Vincent Pepper Mar
tin. 1t will all be oil down to a
question of money. Martin has a
bold, bad right and left wallop and
if Kilbane meets him he will be
taking a chance with his title.
The refore he will expect to be we'll
pad for the risk.
Johnny is so careful about his
title that lots of folks think he is
really a piece of cheese. Which
he amt. Kilbane is nifty fighter
and has both skill and a punch. In
the ring before a referee not of his
own choosing he would fight his
head off and make a rugged show
ing against anybody.
Charley Wienert says a boxing
expert was stopped by Harry Fo-
ley. thanks to the referee. Tommy
Gibbons stopped Foley in six
rounds. How about a bout be-
tween Gibbons and Wienert to see
whether Wienert really outclassed
Foley or whether the New Orleans
referee was right? Which is what
may be termed a real brainy sug-
gestion, not.
This Tommy Gibbons. by the
way, appears to have been forgot
ten in the east Just the same he
will bear watching. He is gamely
lighting his way back to the front
and he will be figuring in the head
lines before long, make no mis-
take.

bringing out a large crowd. The
usual parade of automobiles and

Manager Boyle of the Ansons re-
leased P. Howard, an outfielder,
last Sunday only to recall him to
the team His reason for change
of heart is not made known but
it is probable that the Arson out
fielder does not exactly suit the
silver haired pilot.
Manager Councilman of the Is
landers yesterday released Catch
err Bill Erickson and First Base
man Clarence Hepner. Boss Jim
is showing lot of pepper around
the initial cushion. 1t is the logi-
cal place for him from which to
direct the play and keep up the
old fight.
The Islanders show promise of
being a hard-hitting crew, prac-
tically from end to end. In spite
of the fact that Dubuque maintain
ed a substantial lead until the
ninth yesterday, the locals were
dangerous at nearly every turn of
The game. The fans sat back fully
expectant that the break would
come sooner or later, and it did.
It's about time for Rock Island
fandom to awake to the fact that
baseball in the Mississippi Valley
league is going to be the real ar
ticle. After two bad starts, Cedar
Rapids turned on Waterloo yester-
day and won, 10 to 1. That the "a
to defeat received by Ottumwa
Tuesday from Marshalltown, was a
mistake is shown by the alright
battle these clubs staged yesterday.
Both clubs had strong pitchers on
the mound. The large scores of
the first day or two we're due in
no small part to the fact that the
managers are experimenting with
twirlers. BY May Is each team
must be down to the player limit,
and consequently they have to
work fast wedding out the excess
pitching talent.

wheat and BARLEY
SOWN DURING WEEK

Crop and weather conditions
in Kentucky during the past
week are summarized by the I.
S. Department Of Ag iculture
from reports Of the bureau at
Louisville as follows: ?
The first five days were un-
scasonably warm, but the week
ended with temperature con-
Siderably below normal. Good
showers, occurring generally over
the State near the end of the
week, caused Improvement in
pastures and insured germina-
nation of grain and alfalfa that
has been soWn recently.
Considerable wheat and barley
were sown during the week, but
most of it was done in corn
stubble; as the soil has continued
too dry for much progress with
plowins. termination has been
unsatisfactory, some grain dying
soon after sprouting. Better re-
suits are now possible in seeding
and soil preparation; but con-
siderably more rain is needed to
thoroughly soften the ground,
also for pastures, clover, alfalfa,
and for repIenishing stock water.
Cutting late corn and housing
late tobacco is nearly finished.
Conditions have been excep-
tionally favorable during the pc
Rod of harvest for drying out
the corn and curing tobacco. As
a result corn will be ready to
crib earlier than usual, and the
color and quality Of tobacco has
been improved. Some late po-
tatoes that are still green will
be benefited by the rains; but
the high temperature of the last
ten days caused premature dy-
ing of the plants and lessening
Of the yield. Considerable sor
ghum is also in the field; other
wise crops are e from frost
injury.
