Greatest Gathering Of College
 and School Athletes in Modern
 Sports History at Pennsylvania

Philadelphia, April 27.-Probably the greatest gathering of feet-footod college and school athletes in the his- tory of modern sports assembled here today to test their mettle. their speed and their ability in the Pennsylvania relay carnival. There were approxi- mately $500 of them from north. south, east and west. Not only were all the leading American colleges represented but rivals from overseas and from Canada were here. Rum ners from Oxford, heralded as nearly, if not quite as speedy as the com bined Oxford relay team that estab- lished worlds two-nile record in the 19.) carnival were entered ir three events. two today and one Sat- urday.

 Some of the greatest ball players
 in the game are wearing the White Sox uniform. am proud to have been chosen as one of them, and humhly hope I can fulfill the hopes Mir. Gleason has placed in me. But I am only one player-a "busher" al that-and it takes at least nine men to win a game.
 A high figure was paid for my con- tract, but that act alone can't i'm prove my playing. All l can do is play my best and hope for the breaks
 Imagine, then, being suddenly made the target of batteries of cameras, being pointed out as that s100,000 player" and watched as though I was going to do something desperate any minute.
 This had me nervous for awhile made me seem all hands and feet. Even my voice seemed strained. ] guess I was a little over-anxious at the plate. A little piece of paper flew in front of me at third base. Ordinarily, I never would have mo- ticed it. I finally had to pick it up, it bothered me so. Now l know how a zoo animal feels!
 Manager Gleason's cheerful assur- ances to the players helped lot. Then Speaker. Collins and other real stars began furnishing thrills and I began to shake the peculiar feeling. got to comparing the occasion with my first day with the San Francisco Seals and then got down to my job of trying to be a cog in the machine Manager Gleason is leading toward a pennant.
 But why this "phenom" stuff? A baseball player can only do his best with eight other men to win a game, regardless of whether he costs a mill lion dollars or nothing at all. (OTHER SPORTS ON 18TH PAGE)

HIGH SCHOOL CLASH
 WITH MERIDEN SAT.
Each Team Has Won First Game
 and Hot Fight Is Likely

The second game of the N B. H. s. baseball season will be played against Meriden in that town tomorrow after noon. Both teams are hard hitters and so there will no doubt be plenty of action along the batting line when they meet. This is the second game of the season for both teams. Each team has won it's opening game.
 The Red and Gold team will be rep resented by the same line up that caused so much trouble for the South Manchester High school team. Neipp, who never caught until he jumped into the mask and chest protector of the High school team, will again wind the padded init around the shoots of Jackie Conlin who is scheduled to twirl them from the pitchers box again this week. If they both do as well this week as they did last week there will be noneed of worry. Beagle. the hard hitting first base man will position where he has proved his worth on more than one occasion. Kania will take care of any stray balls that may wander his way at second base Reynolds and Hjerpe will round out the irfeld at short and third base respectively
 Weir, the captain and speedy left fielder is sure to be heard from against the Silver City team tomorrow. His base running, batting and fielding are all that could be asked for. Johnny Grip, who doesn't have to take his hat off to anybody at the school, whether 1t is football, basket ball or baseball, is down to pick them out of the air in center field and to bat them over the the fence from the

ALLOWS But One Hit
 The outstanding feature at the Polo Grounds was the tremendous ovation accorded to Christy Mathewson, presi- dent of the Boston Braves. The peerless "big six" came back to the scene of his greatest playing triumphs which he left nearly three years ago. His charges were beaten by the world champions to 3. Southpaw Art Nehf allowed only one hit but com- hination of errors and passes brought three tallies. The failure to fill the park which can accommodate over 10000 patrons, was a disappointment to the management.
 The New York Yankees in its open- ing game last week played before a capacity audience of over 7o,000.
 Tanks Back to Second.
 Although the Yankees tied the game in the first half of the ninth with two run rally, the Boston Red Sox retaliated with a hit barrage and walked off with to victory and shunted the New Torkers to second place in the league statnding.
 Stanley Coveleskies superb twirling carried his teammates to to victory over the Chicago White Sox and the Indians again resumed the leadership in the league race. Um- pire Rowland, one time manager of the White SoX. was presented with flowers by Chicago fans.
 Cubs Lose Again
 Washington defeated the Athletics to i. Pittsburgh scored its second consecutive victory over the Chicago Cubs to 2. After six straight losses Brooklyn came to life and fell upon the Philadelphia pitchers, trim ming the Quakers + to 4.
 The St. Louis Cards defeated Cin- cinnati to 4. The hitting of Eddie Roush, the Red outfielder, was a bright spot in his teams downfall. He poled out four safeties in five times at bat, two of them doubles.

Cleveland. April 27.--What diff ference sl00.0OO makes.
 Four years ago. Willie Kamm, 6 slight youngster, made the jump from the sandlots to Glass AA ball out tr the Pacific Coast league. It was ar occasion to make the youngster em- barrassed and almost a victim oi "buck fever" but
 It was nothing at all to what Will lie Kamm, highest priced rookie ir the history of baseball, had to face when he played his first American league game as third baseman for Kid Gleason's White Sox.
 More than 23,000 fans pointing at him and continually watching him; batteries of cameramen sweeping down to urge him to pose: movies clicking every time he moved; recipi- ent of the only floral piece passed out at the game; playing third base with a half dozen cameras continually trained upon him from the base line-these are just a few of ihe or deals a naturally retiring and thor oughly unspoied boy had to contend with. Besides, there was the natural self-consciousness of any players major debut
 To kamm's everlasting credit, let it be said that he met it like a thor oughbred. He played the game This in spite of an umpire to the left of him. an overflow crowd behind him and cameras to the right so close the baserunners nearly stepped on them.
 The crowd was not hostile. It vas intensely curious. So much so that hush fell every time a ball was driven Kamms way, or he went to bat. The fans wanted him to do brillient fielding. He handled his chances gracefully. The fans wanted brilliant battling. He cracked the right field fence with double after two attempts
 He'll do," was Cleveland's fandom verdict.
 And Kamm has to go through the same ordeal in seven more cities.

hour last night on the Investigation.
They had several talks with young
Cline.
It was announced this morning
that an inquest over the bodies OF
the couple would be held Monday
night. In the meantime, authori-
ties hope to clear up the mystery
surrounding the crime.
Word of the murders spread
quickly through the county and last
night several hundred persons gath
cred near the Cline, home. Fearing
that curious persons might ransack
the home, guards were placed
around it last night.
The Cline home is a stone 5truc-
ture which was erected more than
fifty years ago. 1t stands about
100 yards from the pike and only
the top of the two-story house can
be seen from the road. There IL
a lane which leads from the house
to the pike.
Although placing little credence
in the report that a maniac killed
the couple, authorities are not over
looking this theory.

was committed about 11:30 or IL
o'clock, a few minutes before the
son came home. When the boy
reached the house, cabbage was
boiling on the stove. The mother.
authorities believe, went into the
cellar to get sausages. The sau-
sage pan was found near her body.
1t is further believed that the
murderer was hidden in the cellar.
He probably attacked Mrs. Cline as
she reached the bottom of the cellar
steps. Then the husband, hearing
his wife's cries, rushed down the
cellar to her aid. The asSailant is
believed to have met him at the top
of the cellar steps, which lead into
the yard, and felled him with three
blows, dragging his body into che
cellar and laying it beside that of his
wife.
Efforts of authorities to find per-

been unsuccessful
Birthday Party Was Planned.
The death of the aged couple has
broken up plans for a party to be
held at the Cline home tomorrow
night in celebration of the seventy
first birthday of Mr.. Cline. Mr..
Cline's nine children, eight of whom
are married, were to attend the
party.
The children of NJ" Cline spent
most of yesterday aiding the au-

They were not, however, able TO

any definite clues regarding the
crime.

FIREMAN REScUES WOMEN
LOCKED HOURS IN SCHOOL

WILMINGTON. Del, Oct. IL
Three women frantically attempting
TO attract attention from passersby
succeeded after four hours and were
released from imprisonment in the
Friends School.
The women, cleaning the school
rooms, were locked in by the JAM
tor, who departed at 3:45 Tuesday
afternoon. He thought no one was
in the building.
Finally man passing by told the
women to climb down the fire es-
cape. This they did, only to find
they could not scale the school yard
fence. A fireman eventually got
the women over the fence.
