SHORT PEGS

William Conklin, star pitcher of the 1922 Sing Sing varsity has been recalled for six E.onths because he broke his parole. On reporting back to the coach, Bill said he wished the season was over.
 Although he is In better shape than ever, Babe Ruth has been hav- ing trouble with his coordination and timing on the training tour. He has been slicing and pulling and top ping his slabs-mostly topping them, to judge by the frequency of his in- field grounders.
 Until the Babe took up with golf he had never heard of coordination and timing to him meant something about clock. Golf has filled his nerves with technique and his head with fears. The mightiest natural hitter of them all has been golfing at the plate.
 Frank Chance of the Red Sox and Donnie Bush of the Senators forbid their men to golf during the season. The interlocking grip may be an elegant apparatus for work on the meadows but the thing to do with baseball bat is garb 1t by the larynx and swing.
 In Ruth's case, his batting hasn't made him star at golf and the golf has only impaired his hitting. They seem to be antipathetic pastimes but tennis and golf apparently are sym pathetic. At any rate, Miss Mary K. Browne, of California, though a champion at neither. is a star at both and is improving steadily with the racket and the bandy.

PANTHERS WALLOP CUMBERLAND NINE, ALTHOUGH " FAN

LEBANON, Tenn. April 5.-{Spe- cial.-Before hundreds of shivering ,students on Kirk field this after noon, and in a veritable sea of mud, the Cumberland Bulldogs dropped their first game of the season to Birmingham Southern by score Of ? to 0. The two runs came Tn the second inning, when Caldwell, first baseman for Birmingham Southern, copped two-bagger and brought in two runs.
 Harper, who occupied the mound for Cumberland, struck out 17 men. The Birmingham boys pitched Hodge, and he kept the Bulldogs down to a few well scattered hits. Hodge and Goodbee show up well as a battery for Coach Charley Brown. With the exception of the second inning, the innings of the entire game were of the three men variety.
