ROYAL Y To SEE
SYRACUSE IN
ACTION
Orange Lacrosse Team Will
Play Before King OF
England.
BY CHESTER b. Balm,
international News Service.

SYRACUSE, N. Y. May liking
George, Queen Mary and the
Prince of Wales will see the SYRIA
cuse University lacrosse twelve in
action in England during the tour
of the hill twelve through the
British Isles. This information was
contained in a letter received by
Coach Laurie d. Cox from F. l..
Neylapd, of Pembroke College, OK
ford, England. now representative
of Syracuse in England. Neyland
is captain of the Oxford twelve,
and he is authority for the state
ment that England's royal family
will attend either the Broadhurst or
the Lee match.
Additional contests may be sched-
uled for the Orange forces while
playing in England, according to
Captain Neyland's letter. However,
the scheduling of these games de-
ponds entirely on the outcome Of
the game with the North Of Eng
land team, generally conceded to be
the premier team of the isle. Cap
tain Neyland is arranging the
Orange card in England, and he
is anxious to extend the Orange
tour as much as possible.
According to the letter, the Ok
ford team just won the lacrosse
championship Of the South of Eng
land by defeating Lee and Cam
bridge and that a game with the
North of England has been sched-
uled for tomorrow in which the
All-Eastern championship will be
at stake. =

not only because of its object. but
because the various master associa-
tons, under the auspices of which
the games are held, have provided
entertainment of a high order to go
with and supplement the ball game.
Several bands, clowns, funmakars
and stunts always add to the attrac-
ton of the game itself. So large
was the crowd last year that seats
had to be placed around the outfield
to accommodate the spectators and
the game was played with ground
rules.
Andy Walker, captain of the nine
from Almas Temple, and Joe Lever
ton, who bosses the Grotto nine,
promise well-developed and carefully
drilled teams and a ball game which
is a contest, so that ticket buyers
are assured not only the conscious
ness of charity performed, but an
afte noon of good sport

A barrage of hits which sent two
pitchers to the showers gave the
Yankees an easy victory over the

but they went for naught.

The Golden Bears have just COM
pleted their season of dual meets
with a record of overwhelming vic
tories over Stanford, the Olympic
Club of San Francisco. the Univer-
sity of Nebraska, and the Univer-
sity of Southern California.
The Southern Californians were
routed twice by the team from
Berkeley, many of their points in
each meeting being credited to the
redoubtable Charlie Paddock, who
ia now in Paris exhibiting his
speed in training trials for the
benefit of the French athlets and
fans.
The CalifOrnians have held the
/. C. A. A. A. A. championship
cup for two successive years.
and they are determined not To
LET IL come back east before they
score enough victories to keep 1T
permanently. That is quite an
undertaking, but Cornell almost
succeeded i'm winning the last cup
by capturing an unbrOken string
of championships.
What has almost been done once
can be done, is the feeling they
have at Berkeley, and they are oe-
termined to see it through, al
though the expense of sending the
team from coast to coast strains
the athletic treasury to the limit.
Brick" Muller, the California
leader, has not been jumping SO
well since breaking a bone in one
of his ankles playing football, but
he is the sort of jumper who is at
| his best when the test is the hard
| est, and Leroy Brown, the Dart
mouth indoor and outdoor cham
pion. will again be compelled to do
some record breaking if he is to
! beat the Californian. Muller is
also a first-class broad jumper and
| has been a fairly consistent point
winner with the discus all spring.
The events in which California is
/ the strongest this year are the dis
Gus, broad jump, tWo-mile run,
shotput and javelin. They have a
corking understudy to Muller in the
high jump in Treyer, who will
come east with the team, so that
| it is reasonable to assume they
will score heavily in that event.
NeufeIdt is likely to break a rec
ord or two on Franklin Field when
he begins throwing the discus, be-
cause he has already bettered Glenn
Hartranft's record with throw @

Manager Bush is disappointed
that blizzard had to come in
and spoil the party he was fran.
ing for the Tigers. Dauss and
PiIIette are the only pitchers de-
livering the real goods for the
Tigers right now, and Bush was
hopeful of winning three of the
four games booked here on this
trip. Now it looks as though
there might be three dOuble-head-
ers when the Griffs reach this
section of the country in July.

Cobb is expected to send Ray Fran
els after the Washington scalps
He relies on the oft-heard theory
that a player always looks best
against the team which dropped
him. He believes that Francis will
prove a puzzle to the Griffs and
that the Tigers will be able to BAT
out the victory, no matter what
hurler performs for the Griffs.
Manager Bush says his pitching
staff has not looked so good this
year as it does right now. He has

Pete Japan and Dad Hawkins
two lads to get marching orders
for Memphis are today on their way
back to Washington where they
will clean up their personal affairs
before hiking to the Southern AS
sociation. There they will be joined
by Bobby LaMotte, the third Griff
man to be sent to Memphis.
A week ago or so Dangerous
Dan McGrew, was sent to Mem
phis. At that time President
Griffith announced that Zahniser
would be permitted to report to
the Washington club IN September.
Since then the deal has been
changed. Japan and LaMOtte
have been turned over to Mem

kins have been sent there sub
ject to recall.

kins, both of whom need plenty

the diamond, the Washington club
obtains first pick of the Memphis
players next fall. Therefore, Clark
Griffith will keep his eye on the
Memphis club all season, preparing
to make his choice when the South
ern Association season nears its
end.
The new Washington hurler
won twenty and lost twelve games
for Memphis i'm 1922, earning for
himself an efficiency mark of 2.75.
He ranked seventh i'm the league.
Zahniser pitched 269 innings in
thirty.nine games, issuing seventy
three free passes and tanning
eighty-five batsmen. He hit two
batsmen and came through with
two wild pitches. OF the l16
runs scored against him, eighty
two were earned.
Going to bat in fifty-eight games
Zahniser hit for .273, getting forty
one hits totaling seventy-two bases.
He had six doubles, five triples and
five home runs.
"Lamotte isn't with U.S." explains
Manager Bush "Hankins is rust
ing on the bench. Lapan is a good
catcher, but you can't get anything
for nothing. Even with him gone,
we've still got three catchers, every
one of them horse for work.
