SWIM MEET TO
HAVE FIVE
EVENTS
Two for Girls and Three for
Men Is Program at Ward
man Park Saturday
By ROSS L. CONKLN.

The question OF whether or not
fish perspire ought to be demon
strated to a conclusion Saturday
afternoon when in the cool Of the
pool at Wardman Park mernaids
and mernfen partake OF an A. A. U.
sanctioned meet of five events.
The omnipresent Captain Eldridge
Colby and Jim Sprigman. always
a silent partner in some athletic
contest, have arranged the meet
with an eye to completeness anu
finesse. Therefore, there will be
two events for girls and three Tor
men.
Jerry Mangan, ex-captain OF the
Catholic University fish, is acting
as the officer in charge of the
Wardman Park Hotel pool. He has
full charge of the meet.
The first of the program calls for
some sixty-yard-dash action from
the ladies. They are free to use
any and all styles Only running
on the bottom is tabooed.
Following that there Will be a
sixty-yard back stroke swim for the
ladies, and then comes fancy div
ing contest for the opposite species.
A 21O-yard free style race for men
and a ninety-yard free style for
men are the concluding events on
the program.
Captain Colby and Jim Spring
man are the swimming representa-
tiyes of the Amateur Athletic Union
in washington. Both will be at
the meet and will act as officials.
Bv that same token anything done
in the way of records will be Of
fetal.
The pool at Wardman will be
kept busy with swimming meets all
summer. An ambitious program
has been tentatively mapped out
and dates for meets will be an
nounced within a week.
The pool does not measure cor
rectly for standard events, but by
letting q rope down into the water
the regulation distances can be
marked out and the races made Of
fetal. The Central pool Is the only
one in the city where ropes do not
have to be used for the dashes and
distance races. Catholic University
has to use a rope on some races,
and so does Congressional and Co
lumbia.
The Wardman Park Swimming
Club controls the pool. Members
can take in guests, anl the meets
are held under the auspices OF the
club.

Walker complained bitterly at
Worcester over the deal he got
last year. 1t is understood that
his professional championship
Melted him something like $78.
This is offered in vivid compare
son to the $4,000 earned by
Gene Sarazen following his vic
tory at Skokie.
Just about as much difference
existed between Walker and Sara
zen as existed between their re-
spective profits. Walker, a
phlegmatic Englishman, lacked all
color. He was just a professional
golfer who won a title. Sarazen
was, oh, 80 different!
What Washingtonian who wit
messed Sarazen's exhibition at
Potomac Park could ever forget
him? And remember his visit to
President Harding at the White
House? It was a wham!
Gene had just emerged from
the rank Of caddie. He was the
good-looking son of an Italian
immigrant, supporting his moth
er. He had just come Of age.
Life was sweet to him and he
gathered it to his youthful breast
with all the abandon of his blood.
There wasn't a caddie in the
land who did not secretly hope to
be another Sarazen," as he read
of the triumphal march of the
young open champion from club
to club. from coast to coast.
Many" caddies hardly knew
Walkers name a month after his
victory. It threatens to be the
same thing for MacFarlane.
Sarazen had a skillful publicity
agent, too, something Walker
could not understand. Sarazen,
hardly more than a boy, had a
real Italians appreciation of the
theatrical and he went through
gladly with whatever his publicity
man demanded of him. They
were a winning combination and
Sarazen coined gold dollars.
Cyril Walker complained that
American golf writer's boosted
Sarazen because he was a home
bred and neglected him because
he wasn't, but Walker is wrong.
Sarazen had the color that at
tracts publicity without a pub
licity agent. Walker had moth
ing and MacFarlane is said to
offer little Improvement.

TllLlE WALKER SEIZED
FOR BALTIMORE ORIOLES

So frightened is Jack Dunn that
his sixfime champion Orioles are
about through that he is grabbing
players on all sides. His latest
grab is Title Walker, who was re-
leased outright by Minneapolis last
week.
, Tillie was Clarence to his ma and
pa, but when he went into profes-
sional baseball, many years ago, he
became Title to the fans from Coast
to Coast. And how they did love
to watch Walker throw: Ha = as
one of the games greatest arms.
Walker will be used in left field
when southpaws are sent against
the Orioles. When right-handers
pitch Home Run King Johnny Roser
will look after left garden. Jack
Dunn never was strong for the
shift system but he figures Roser
can hit the ball into the right field
stand and that the left field fence
will be soft for Walker.

SIX HORSEMEN
To COACH IN
SOUTH
Former Notre Dame Players
In Demand as Cridiron
Tutors

ATLANTA. June 9.-Shades Of
the Four Horsemen Of Notre Dame
will gallop this fall over the green.
tufted gridirons of Dixie.
The theory Of football pro-
pounded at South Bend by that
eminent educator, Knute Rockne,
has SO captured the heart and
fancy Of Southern gridiron fol-
lowers that no less than six former
Notre Dame stars have been signed
by Dixie schools to spread his doc
trines of attack and defense.
Included in the list are Don NIL
Ter and Jim Crowley-both mem
bers of that great quartet or back
field stars whose brilliance- during
the season Of 1924 made the name
"Notre Dame" a trademark for
gridiron speed and cleverness.
The fleet Don, last Of the five
famous Miller brothers, OF Notre
Dame, will spend his days this
fall teaching the budding backs at
Georgia Tech how to run where
thew amt and block EN- where
they are" His brother ball-carrler,
Sleepy Crowley, who sleeps like
a small boy at a circus, will per-
form a like task at Georgia UNI
versity.
Also at Georgia will be Harry
Mehre, line coach, whom knute
Rockne taught never to allow OPP
posing backs to rip up a perfectly
good defense the way his backs were
wont to do. The Mayor" remains
at Georgia, while Frank Thomas.
his co-worker of last fall. goes to
Chattanooga University to spread
the gospel of Rockne speed and
cleVerness.
Thomas will take over the duties
of head coach at Chattanooga, and
for assistance he will have the
"pigskin" brains Of Charlie Collins,
a young man who learned the rudi-
ments and elements and few
things more about football from
one Knute Rockne, instructor in
the science at Notre Dame Univer-
sity, Indiana. Collins was a team
mate of the Four Horsemen on
last years famous eleven, playing
one of the extremities.
The other member of the sextet
who will attempt to raise a crop
of "Rockneed" gridiron warriors on
Dixie soil is John Weibel, the
midget guard. who will join the
coaching staff at Vanderbilt Uni
Versity.

TENDLER INDICATES
ONLY K. o. OF CAREER

PHILADELPHIA, June 9.-Lew
Tender, Philadelphia fighting ace.
indicated himself for the only
knockout he ever received when
he decisively defeated Jack Civic, of
Pittsburgh, the man who knocked
him out, in ten rounds before a
crowd of more than $4,000 al
Greater Shibe Park last night.
Tender, much like the Lew OF
old, at no time seemed to fear the
blows Of the man who had stopped
him. Tender fought with greater
assurance as the bout progressed
While it was clean victory for
Lew, nevertheless he had to fight
hard to win. The Pittsburgher
never stopped battling.
Tender was hit and hit hard
but he showed no signs Of these
blows other than rocking a bit
once or twice and having a slight
cut at the corner of his mouth.

HORNSBY GIVES
FORMULA FOR
PENNANT
Wants Confidence to Reign
Among Players of St.
Louis Cardinals

ST. LOUIS. June 9.-''Play every
pitch as a pinch and figure always
that you're going up hill.'
That is the formula that Rogers
Hornsby. new manager OF the Car
d!nals. has laid down for his play
ers. the formula with which the
champion ,batsman Of National
League will endeavor to give st.
Louis pennant.
Il have some pretty well defined
ideas Of how I'm going to run the
Cardinals" said Hornsby I'm the
first place, I'm going to let my play
ers do a little thinking OF their
own"
Hornsby said he assumed a man
knew how to play his position. or
else the player would not be on q
big league payroll. On that as
sumption, the manager said, he will
want his men to go into the game
with confidence in their own ability
and with the understanding that
there will be few orders.
"Of course" he continued, "I1l
be boss and make decisions as to
attack or defense. and II they go
wrong Ill take all the kick-back
and criticism.
Nervousness Is a serious handicap
to ball club. I'll strive first Of all
TO have everyone in calm. conf
dent mood.
I've asked the men to play the
game with the scoreboard. That is
always to know how many strikes
are on batrer. how many are out
and to figure ahead-always to
know what to do with the ball in
case it comes their way.
IT'S all just a case Of always be-
ing on your toes" Hornsby con-
cluded.

retary at 2 o'clock, June Is. or
small and insignificant note Is the
fact that So must accompany the
fIIled-in blank.
The new Maryland Country Club
has offered the privileges Of its
course to contestants from June is
to June %. Five days is enough
for the average golfer to fully ac-
quaint himself with the traps, bunk
ere and out Of bounds. The knowi-
edge will probably become more
exact after the tournament play has
started.
Because Of Cliff McKimmie's in
ability to defend his title there win
be more than the usual scramble to
win. The title holder being out

crown and wear 1t for year. Nc

Duster Mails Grooves
Tough Question

ROCHESTER, N. Y, June 9.
buster Mails, st. Louis Car
dinal southpaw, in town for arm
treatment, pulled this one on the
Tribe bench the other day.
what do you think CHR
ruped the Buster, "a major club
paid $50, 900 for pitcher and
another club paid 100000 for
an, outfielder. Now they expect
this cheap $4,000 pitcher to
keep this 100000 outfielder
from hitting. What do you
make of it, anyway"
IS there any sense, any fair
ness in it," the Buster sput-
tered on. "What do thes. base

There was deep rejecting all

Gibbons Is Through.

THOUGH he has postponed
i making a final official state
ment to that effect, Tom Gibbons,
st. Paul's famous family man, is
through with the ring. He went
as far as possible. No man can
do more.
Tom Gibbons has been a credit
to boxing. No scandal has ever
been attached to him. He has
lived a clean life; has saved his
earnings instead of frittering
them away in idleness and carous-
ings, and is now entitled to calm
retirement with his famous family.
Gibbons never achieved cham
pionship, yet he has made much
more money than many titlehold-
ers. He believed in keeping busy.
He travelled all over the country,
picking up a thousand here and a
thousand there. He carefully in
vested his profits in St. Paul real
estate, so that today, as he faces
a private life, he can see only
comfort for himself and family,
with college educations for his
children.
Despite the wild rantings and
roarings of enemies of professional
boxing, there is good in it. Tom
Gibbons is one proof. He devel-
oped natural abilities to a point
where he earned a good living in
the early days of his life. He stole
nothing. He minded his own bust
ness. He will ask for no charity.
Enemies of professional boxing
would have us believe that only
the lowest scum of the earth en-
gage in it. They make much
noise, just like a whistle.
Neither Tom Gibbons nor his
opponent, Gene Tunney, represent
the scum of the earth. Neither
is ashamed of his chosen profess
sion. Neither need be. Indeed, a
good ditch-digger has a place in
this life. So has a professional
boxer.

LAsKER SELLS INTEREST

CHICAGO. June 9.-A. d. Lasker,
former chairman Of the Shipping
Board, has sold mis- large holdings
in the Chicago National League
Baseball Club to William Wrigiey,

By the transaction, contaminated
some time ago, but which did not
become known until last night, Mr..
Lasker retains only q few shares Of
stock, but he keeps his place on
the board of directors and stiu is
a trustee of the club.
A friendly disagreement over the
question whether training methods
should be Spartan-like and rigorous.
or a little moro free and easy, was
understood to be the reason for Mr..
Lasker for selling his stock. He ad-
yocated strict training.
