triotic organizations in various
communities, members of The Amer
lean Legion have made substantial
progress toward raising the per-
mancnt endowment fund to provide
for the annual decoration of graves
of $4,000 dead in cemeteries OF Eu-
rope.
Contributions received at the
Office of the Legion national treas
urer in Indianapolis now total more
than $4,000, which with the amount
raised by Legion men in France
raises the sum approximately to
$4,000.
One of the largest donations re-
ceived recently came from the peo-
pie of Providence, r. L., who sent
check for $l,203.6G. The sum was
obtained by Providence post of the
Legion with the assistance of var
ious community organizations.

Topic Of Dissension.
The existence of the white zircon
has in the pest been a topic of some
dissension among geologists and gem
experts. 1t was known that the stone
existed in blues, grsons and all shades
of browns. and there was a consid-
erab,e demand for 1t among Euro
pean jewelers.. There Is still some
doubt expressed as to whether the
white stone Is not artificially pro-
duced by heating specimens of zircons

them.

every purpose of the diamond except
that it does not give the reputation

Catholic University broke its long
run of hard luck losses in baseball
yesterday by soundly trouncing
Harvard University at the Brook

led by George Owen, first baseman,
four-letter man, and considered one
of the leading lights in baseball in
college circles.
The hard-hitting Brooklanders
chased two pitchers from the hill
before Cordingly was sent in. He
proved to be effective enough to
stop the scoring. Altogether the
Brooklanders got fourteen hits.

: The worthy Daniel il quite right
so far as he goes. He could go
further, however. The writer has
in mind the occasion, some seven
teen years ago, when the late John
B. Taylor first came into prom
inence as a quarter-miler at Penn
sylvania. Taylor, one of the pio-
neer negroes in track athletics,
created something Of a commotion
by jumping out of pocket" and
running around his field to win the
title in 48 4-5 seconds at the Inter
collegiates.
Taylor was the first real track
celebrity of the colored race. He
had an unusually lengthy stride
nine feet from toe to toe.
Almost overnight Franklin
Field, Philadelphia, where Tay-
lOr did his training, was mum
dated with negro quarter-milerS,
some promising enough, some
otherwise. and all of them used
that long, lazy Taylor stride. even
II they had to dislOcato q care.
less hip.
Taylor's brother.in-law, Malson
by name and initiative by nature,
picked up his every mannerism
within a comparatively few weeks.
But he overlooked the rather vital
matter Of speed. He couldn't run
fast enough to keep warm.
In fact, the negro at large was
not q successful quarter-niler, nor
has he since been able to travel q
distance with the best Of the white
runners. In consequence, when
Taylor lost caste by finishing
fourth behind Carpenter and Rob-
bins. the Americans, and Lieuten-
ant Halswelle, Of England, In the
famous 400-metre race at the 1908
Olympics, quArter-mile running
ceased to be a vogue among the
colored athletes.
Shortly thereafter Howard Drew
flashed across the public retina
as the fastest sprmter In America,
and immediately every negro was
Sprinter. ...- H..
The baclwash Of that movement
is still with US today, the negro
being thus inclined as much by
choice as by the suggestion Of
Drew's prominence. Even Butler
and Gourdin themselves started
out to be sprinters. They merely
drifted into broad jumping as a
side issue when they found the
going a trifle too fast for the par
ticular kind Of brunette heels they
possessed.
At that, it is doubtful whether
they would have amounted to any.
thing If they had not taken a whirl
at the sprinting game. More than
ordinary speed of foot Is required
to get up above twenty-three feet
in the broad jump.

The Griffs got two ''last years
home runs" i'm the opening game.
Goose GOslin got one and Roger
Pechinpaugh the other. Under
1922 conditions Peck's drive would
have tied the score in the ninth.
Under 1923 conditions it went for
two bases, and the MackInen
cOpped their opening clash.
Yesterday there was perfect
Gock of last years home runs. !"
Under 1923 conditions the Macl1men
walloped the Griffs second time
IA the same place, this time by a
score of to Q. But how those
'Iast years home runs did fly
off the bats of the boys in uni
form.
Joey Evans got the first one in
the third inning, betting a long,
high fly out to Bing Miller, who
camped under it with his back
well nigh against the bleacher wall.
A year ago that wallep would have
been for the circuit.
Sam Rice got the second one,
his coming I'm the fifth. Bing
Miller misjudged the drive and
lust as IL was passing over his
corrugated dome, leaped up and
speared it with his gloved hand.
Pat Charity got the third last
years home rum in the ninth,
Matthews camping under it about
where the old bleacher seats began
their upward climb.
Oh, well, what's the use? They
were not playing back in 1922 yes
feriay and those terrific drives
were merely outs instead Of put
ting the Griffs in front.
Now the rough thing in this is
that the Griffs have suffered IN
two days from the changed condi-
tions of the Shibe Park just about
as badly as they used 70 surfer
from real homers by the Mackmen
q year ago. In 1922 the Mackmen
were banging, the old apple out
among the tobacco-chewers all
afternoon. This spring the Griffs
are sIamming the onion out where
the customers used to sit and roar
last year.
Jimmy Dykes is the one guy
able to surmOunt the new wall.
He waIIOped one among the fish
IN the opening game, putting the
MacIxmen ahead. Yesterday he
repeated, his homer in seventh
breaking a tie existing from the
third. Once ahead, Mackmen re-
manned there, too.
Today Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary
or Jack Hollingsworth will climb
the hill to face Connie Mack's lads.
Walter Kinney, a southpaw, and
I'd Rommel, the slow ball finger,
are said to be most likely to at.
tract Comics attention.
Figuring the second game OF
the year on it's merits, and forget
ting all about 1922 conditions, it
must be admitted that Bob Hasty
