BY ]. l.. HUGHES.

Another game was added to the
growing list to be played later in
the season as parts of double-head-
=ers, as a result of the heavy down
: pour at l o'clock yesterday after
noon. The playing field which had
: not recovered from the saturation
q of Tuesday was rendered well nigh
impossible so far as playing d
game of baseball. The sun appear
ed later in the afternoon but not
enough time was left in which to
give Old Sol a fair chance to dry
up the excess of moisture.
( Manager Jimmy Drohan and his
Ottumwans departed on the eve
ming train for Cedar Rapids, thor
oughly satisfied with the results of
their visit to Rock Island. Two
games won out of two played is
nothing to sneeZe at, especially
when victories were few and far
between before the break in luck.
Waterloo Here.
Waterloo will oppose the Island
ers in four game set, the first to
be played this afternoon, weather
permitting.
The Black Hawks have been
playing $3.50 baseball, and accord
ing to those who claim to be on the
know will show even better when
hot weather settles down in earn
est. Ragan has a number of real
veterans on his club who are said
to need midsummer atmosphere to
bring their best qualities to the
front
The Hawks will he the islanders
opponents until after Sunday. Aft
er them will come Billy Speas, the
hard hitting manager, and his crew
of pace setting Dummies, to play
three games in four days. There
will be two games Tuesday. Me-
mortal day and present plans are to
play them as morning and after

Wild talk going the rounds that
Harvard is trying to force Prince
ton out of the Big Three, that
Princeton is on the verge OF
break in athletic relations with
Harvard because of feeling grow
ing out of the construction OF the
Yale-Harvard-Pri agreement
concerning eligibility and other rot
Of the like may be set down as the
vaporings of those who do not know
what they are talking about Ger
tain alumni, who should take pains
to know their facts. are included
in this statement
Inquiry brings to light the fact
that there is no feeling among Har-
ward undergraduates against Prince
ton, that they enjoy going to Prince
ton for the various games and re-
ceive Nassau representatives as
welcome guests. And certainly Har
wards New York alumni at least
value HaFvard's Princeton engage
ments if only because it gives them
opportunity of seeing the Crimson
in action without taking the long
trip to Boston.
So far as the disbarring of sew
eral star Princeton athletes is con-
cerned, action was taken because
there was no possible doubt that
they were representing Princeton
in violation of a certain clause of
the Big Three agreement. Prince
ton, it would appear, regards her
self in the position of having had
troubles enough of her own with
out messing into the affairs of her
two friends. That is strictly the
buiness of Yale and Harvard and
their good faith is not doubted.
Every American has been follow
ing John G.. Anderson's progress
in the British amateur at Prestwick
with the keenest interest. Whether
he wins or loses now the Siwanoy
and Grassy Sprain crack will have
upheld the prestige of American
golf With the field at 80 ON Thurs
day, it looks as though Friday will
see the semi-finals and the final on
Saturday.
The way the blacksmiths, store
keepers, schoolmasters and clerks
have been going at Prestwick ii
looks as though soon the British
gentry would be crowded from the
top flight of golfers. In the north
of England and Scotland they are
keen on encouraging artisan and
other plebeian players.

PLAY is BETTER
: FOR KIDS THAN.
FORMAL DRILLS
Experiment Proves
benefits of Games
for Young.
BY WALTER CAMP.

copyright, 1872, by Inc August
Several times 4 nave sta-eG in
this column tnat in the matter
OF physical education nine-tenths
should be devoted TO play in the
form of athletics and games and
only one-tenth to formal gymnas-
tics. Never should that one-teuth
ztrespass upon the nine-tenths.
An experiment was recently tried
and reported before the ply steal
education society by which it was
intended TO determine by actual
measurement the comparative val
ues of formal and informal physi-
cal training. The. informal train
ing involved play athletics and
games. Children of equal mental
intelligence and a normal ability
did informal play and 80 did for
NAL gymnastics.
The period covered the eight
school months. Tests were then
employed to determine the relative
ability of each division in acts of
skill, judgment of distance, re-
Spouse, accuracy, precision, pos
ture, etc. In general it was found
that in nearly all the tests the
group that had taken informal work
received higher ratings.
But-and this is important-the
formal group showed a slight gain
over the other il the posture tests.
Herein lies the conclusion of the
whole matter, that children i'm
prove more through informal means.
except insofar as their posture, or
physique, is concerned, and that
certain definite results can be OBJ
tanned at a minimum expenditure
of time.

AROUND . the olRCUIT
JAMES L. HUGHES -

Yesterday was an off day all
around the circuit by force of cir
cumstances, said circumstances be-
ing chargeable to the playful atti-
tude of our esteemed friend, Jupi'
ter Pluvius.
Two off days in a row on account
of rain, added to the fact that the
Islanders lost the only two that
Jupe permitted, are not calculated
to leave the locals in an amiable
mood. The fur is bound to fly in
the present series with Waterloo
The news hound at Marshall
town refers to ~BOyle's hope
fuls," whether in defeat or vic
tory. 1t begins to look as If the
siIver-haired veteran will have
to rely on hope to pull him
through. Now that the other
clubs of the circuit are round
ing into form, Boyle is having
difficulty breaking into the win
column with any degree of reg
ularity.
There is. one very good reason
why Cedar Rapids is now percheG
at the top-Billy Speas has led his
crew to victory in seven starts
without a break. He swept the
series with Ottumwa and took three
games from Marshalltown.
Speas is said to have the prize
infant pastiming for him. The kid S
name is Lewis. About II years old,
they say, although he could pass
for less. But don't think he can't
play ball. Those who have seen
him in action say he handles him
self like finished product already.
He is a regular ball hawk in the
field and swings a nasty war club
at the plate.

New York, May 25.-It is prac-

and Carpenter will meet on
Boyle's Thirty Acres this summer.
In all the world there is no pair
that would promise so much in the
way of real fight. The men are
evenly matched as to weight, Car
pentier having an advantage OF
about eight pounds and both en-
ploy the same tactics. The French
man will stick a good bargain on
the money question, but Greb will
be inclined to let him have the
larger end.

straw.

Tunney is not through by any
means. Greb's style of action
puzzled him, as it did Gibbons and
he never could solve it He made
more of a fight than Gibbons did,
for that matter, showing a willing
ness to take the initiative himself
upon many occasions.

Gene Tunney showed a knightly
spirit on two occasions in their
fight when Greb slipped half way to
his knees in coming in and left
himself open. Tunney could have
walloped him good but on each oc-
casion held back his waIlop. 1t
showed the finest sort of sports
manship.

Announcement is made that Curt
Norton of Moline will work out
with the team during the next few
days but will not be rendered a
new contract until Manager Con-
zelman is satisfied that the young
ster's charley-horse ailment has
disappeared.
If Curt can get back into condi-
ton it wouldn't be surprising to see
him placed in left field in the place
of McDonough, for the time being
at least. Norton, while formally
an infielder, is gifted with natural
speed and pair of good hands.
Pitcher Charles Friedl, for
merly of the MarshalltOwn An
sons, was expected to join the
Islanders today. With his ar
rival it is said Pitcher Sam
Holden will receive his release.
Friedl was released day be-
fore yesterday by MARSHALL
town. for what reason Manager
Councilman of the Islanders is
unable to determine. Jim was
impressed with the ability of
Fried in two starts the young
ster made against the Island
ers. Therefore when the OPP
portunify presented itself to
gain his signature to a con-
tract, Boss Jim grabbed the OPP
portunity.
