Several other high class men,
including Ekelund of Sweden, who
tied with Muller OF California for
second place in 1920, and Louden of
France, a consistent performer, will
strive for honors in this spectacu-
lar event in the big games next
year, but it is expected thai the real
struggle for first place will be be-
tween the four members Of thee
American team.
Beginning with the first annual
indoor Intercollegiate, held at the
Twenty-second Regiment Armory,
New York city, on March II, 1922,
up to and including the I. C. A. A.
A. A. games of last June, Brown
has won nearly every big jump IN
college circles, and he has also add
ed several important over A. A..
U. wins to his credit.
His most remarkable win in A.
A. U. circles was the National title
at Chicago less than four weeks
ago, and while striving for the
crown, Brown leaped over the hcri-
zontal bar placed at a height of
6 feet 5 So inches, a leap which
erased from the books the former
A. A. U. championship figures of
feet 5B inches, made by Harold
Osborne of the Illinois A. c.. at
Weequahic Park, Newark, N. j.,
last year.
One week later Brown defeated
fine field at the WilcO A. A.
games, held at the Yankee Sta
dunn. His leap Of 6 feet 5 inches
ON that day was q gem.
Following his win Of the indoor
Intercollegiate with a leap of G
| feet AZ inches on March II, 1922
Brown met defeat at the hands
of Johnny Murphy, former Notre
Dame star, and at that time gener'
| ally regarded as one of the great
| est high jumpers ever developed
anywhere, at the Penn Relays. held
at Franklin Field, Philadelphia
April 1929. 1929.
The Dartmouth jumper redeemed
himself. however, in the I. c. A. A
A. A. championships, held at the
Harvard Stadium one month later
when he defeated, with a magnifi
cent leap of 6 feet 4 So inches. r

John j. McGrRW, aStuEe Judge
Of playing ability, must smile up
his sleeve az he hears the same
old phrase circulating in the same
old paths. No pitchers. You nay
as well say he has no infielders,
no outfielders. Perhaps the Giant
pitchers, man for man, percentage
for percentage, may not stack up
100 per cent against their Yankee
opponents.
But-these same pitchers, hailed
now as weak and ineffective, have
pitched their club to first place
through q season Of hard fighting.
They have let down at times, it is
true, but when the going was hard
est, then they have responded with
all they had! Men who do that
cannot be entirely discounted in
any comparison.
There are other angles, too.
DOpeaters, sizing up possibilities,
have compared these pitchers as
individuals. In their figurings,
&c has been HOyt, Jones. PennOck
and ShawIsey against Scott, Nehf,
Watson, Ryan and McQuillan.

The other one will be on the
bench-a gray haired, ununiformed
man, watching every play, calling
every ball pitched, debating every
move and foreseeing every break.
And that pitcher will be John
4cGraw, clever, shrewd, wise to
baseball ways and baseball faiIings.
1t won't be Yankee against Giant
II will be Yankee against Giant

That's one angle. Then here's
another. The Giant pitchers in this

and team they already have

Of the Gold Cup Managers, asserts
there is no doubt about Gilmore's

After Hoover won the Gold

the English Henley last year and
won the Diamond Souls. In that
contest he was pitted against the
best oa.emen in Europe and his vic.

champion.
When Hoover roWed in the Dia-
mond Souls race this year and was
defeated by Golland, the deaf mute,
after the champion broke blade,
the Gold Cup was not up for compe-
titton. am certain that the Eng
lish rowing authorities conceded
that Hoover still was the best anna
teur oarsman.
Any of the European oarsnen
who could show they were of the
proper caliber could have entered the
Gold Cup race in Duluth. But we
received no challenge from abroad
and Gilmore was the only American
sculler who entered.

President Planning

Washing ton, Feb. S-President
and Mrs. Harding, closely con-
fined for many months to the ex-
ecutive mansion, are, keenly au-
ticipating their coming trip in
Florida-their first real vaca-
ton in nearly a year.
Already the President and his
wife have begun their arrange
ments for the journey. Happy
that they are at last able to take
q rest away from the trying off
cial life of the capital, President
and Mrs. Harding are discussing
in the evenings their plans for
the trip.
Unless there is an extra ses-
sion Of congress, tentative arrange
ments provide for departure OF

Public ownership advocates in

They all realize that the situation
in Washington the capital city, IS
significant, because congress deals
with it, by reason Of the fact
that Washington has no city gov
eminent chosen by its people, who
are voteless. What congress does
about car fares here is likely to
affect the efforts in other COM
munities to obtain adequate serv-
ice at a reasonable fare, they be-
lieye. =.

the other way, the senate would

The capital city has two trac-
ton companies, one Of which is so
prosperous that its officials did
not wish to accept a recent fare
increase. The other, however, IS
so poor it is constantly clamorlng
for more fare. Efforts to get
them TO merge have thus far
proved unavaiiing. So also have

Washington, Feb. S-The cause
OF the great American straphang-
fer is to be channpioned anew in
congress.
Cities that have been trying
ever since TIE war TO get car fares
back to something like the pre-
war level are watching with much
interest the fight that is being
waged in congress to bring back
five cent fare in the District of
Columbia.
This fight, Senator Mcclellan,
Tennessee, said today, is just be-
ginning, in spite OF the setback
he and other advocates Of lower
fares sustained the other day.
Mcclellan announced he would
soon present two measures upon
which congress will be put on
record as to whether it stands
with the great army of automobile
less straphangers, or with the
street car companies and other
public utilities corporations. These
measures are
Providing that the street
car companies in the District OF
Columbia shall not be allowed to
charge rate of fare higher than
that fixed in their original chart
ers, namely, 5 cents, with Tree
transfers.

he replied: "Well, 1 yust tell YOU,

Verify Magnus has other than
vocal qualifications, a shrcwdness
that has and will he found very con-
vcnicnt under the lmelight, and
there is about him certain evidences
of a hard, common sense. which
given time, is likely to convince him
that his idea of keeping all bankers
off the Federal Reserve Board is no
nearer sensible than would be a sug
gestion to exclude farmers from all
committees of awards of agricultural
premiums. Nature did something
for Magnus. it seems, other than en-
dow him with unusual vocal chords

proftabiy to all concerned. Mean
