Not wishing to bawl out Gin
cinnati, still at the same time the
writer must acknowledge the
towns faults and tell the world
that Nicholas Altrock still calls
it home, sweet home, the town
where he was raised. The last
time there / was raised again,
which was in a poker game when
/ paid to see three aces after
having got two pairs.
Old inhabitants of Cincinnati,
who have followed ball players
parents, will recall Nicholas Att
rocks father, Benjamin Altrock-
known as big Ben" to his pals.
Well, l want to emphasize that
the writer's father was owner of
one of the best places in town
where one could soak the mou-
stache in foam at reasonable
prices.
In them days-ah, how happy
childhood seems to one who has
travelled so long and dryly to the

NEW HAVEN. Conn. June 10
Before Yale's brilliant Alumni Day
crowd of nearly $1,000 people, Yale
and Harvard today open their an
nual baseball series with the Ellis a
to favorite for victory here,
with even terms prevailing for the
second game in the series in Cam
bridge Wednesday and with Yale
offering odds of 10 to 8 for the

the Harvard defeat by Tufts the
same day.
The mines will meet after the
highest number of defeats in recent
years. Yale has won and lost fiji
teen games each, while Harvard
has been battered to defeat eleven
times and has won thirteen games.

Fish And Golf Yarns
Tax Imagination Of
Sports World

A golfer recently stood on a
high bluff overlooking Lake
Erie and drove "a ball far out
into the water. Nothing re-
markable about that, but wait.
A large fish jumped out of the
water and caught the golf ball
in its mouth.
And that isn't all. A few
hours afterward large fish
was found on the sandy shore
gasping for breath. It was
captured. and taken to the club
house kitchen, where the golf
ball was found lodged in the
fish's throat. The golfer who
drove the ball into the lake
presided at the fish dinner. He
thinks he is now qualified to be
president of the Hole-in-O One
Club.
Fishermen used to be salts
fed to tell fish stories and golf
ers were happy telling golf
yarns" Now that they have
combined, there is no telling
where imagination will carry
them.

The California climate once again
comes into prominence. The recent
triumph of the California athletes
In winning the ]. c. A. A. A. cham
pionships through the superiority
Of their field specialists is nothing
more or less than another tribute 20
the fair weather on the coast.
, Life in the great out of doors
makes It possible for the boys on
the coast to get in condition sooner
than the Eastern athletes, who ex-
pend much Of their energy in the
winter time in gymnasiums and 1T
Indoor track meets. The Cali
fornians do all their training out
of doors. Snowdrifts do not block
their progress, and the jumpers do
not slip on the ice.
The weight throwers and discus
and javelin hurlers on the coast
are in good shape for hard competi-
ton before the frozen steam pipes
are thawed out in the East. The
Eastern sprinters are still trying to
shake off influenza when the Goa st
lads are in the pink
Being able to spend SO much
time out Of doors also encourages
the athletes on the coast to grow
faster and Also larger.
California has always been proni-
nent in the hammer throw. The
coast athletes have taken part in
nine meets in the East and have
scored four firsts, three seconds, and
two thirds in this event. The only
year they were shut out of the
event was in 1921, when Jack Mer
chant was out of competition with
q broken arm.
The ancient javelin and discus
throws were part of the collegiate
athletic program on the coast long
before they were taken up in tht
East. 1t is no new event for them
, lit is a boost for the training
systems used on the coast by
Coach Christie that the Cali
fornians are able to keep in gooc
shape over such a long perod o.
time, because their spring tracl
! season is over out there before thu

b. II. ID. THOMAS.


Members Of The new sandlot
commission to govern the indepen-
dent series look forward keenly to
their work. That is, excepting
one. Charley Moran has been out
of town for some time and is not
fully acquainted with his new job.
He will be, however, before this
hot summer is over.
Baseball authorities delight in un-
ravelling baseball problems. Doc
White, the old White Sox pitching
star: Ed Handiboe, crack umpire
in other days who also won fame
as player and manager, and Harry
Krauss, a good man at most any
sort of problem, snapped yarns
galore during an informal meeting
Of the commission.
Many of these yarns had to do
with odd baseball happenings
that created tough problems. The
commission by next fall will have
lots of new stories to tell. The
sandIOt series is famous for pro-
ducing them.
Missing from the sandlots this
year is the once famous Gibraltar
team. The Gibraltars won the
Independent championship in 1921,
the first year of the big series
While they existed the Gibratars
probably held a record for SQUAD
bles within their own ranks. One
never knew when they had a team,
SO frequently did the team disband
and reorganiZe.
Finally the Gibraltar PLAYERS,
many of whom had played to-
gefher for five or six years, joined
other teams. Alec Weinberg, who
managed the Gibraltars, recently
organized the National Capital
Press team.
The Optometrists, who for two
years fought in the city series, are
gone, too. At one time, it is said
they had the only ball team in
existence composed of eye-glass
makers.
This years series has more
strong teams than any of the two
previous ones, especially i'm the
uHIIUlIteO CLASS. AIP Od1IleI0S,
PetwOrth and Boiling Field do
much to increase the general
standard of the big division.
While Petworth, the Shamrocks,
American Legion, Dominican Ly-
ceum, Mercury, Mohawks and others
are being discussed anent one Of
them winning the unlimited class
title, one hears little in comparison
concerning the Garfields. But the
ball players themselves are talking
about the Garfields. Which is
enough said concerning the Garfields'
rank.
The Corinthian Midgets turned in
their entry to the wrong person and
it was lost in The Washington Times
office. Here is their list of players,
who will be subject to protest for
seven days: Everett Cross, Fred
Potts, De F'illippiss Chanbe, James
Cohen, Robert Williams, Theodore
Chaser, Elmer st. Clair, Frank
