Says National Not Affected

New York. May IA (AP)-Speaking
for the eight clubs in the National
League, President John A. Heydler
tonight declared there had been no
violation of the minor league limit
on optional players this season and
that an order by Commissioner X.
M. Lands requiring teams to call in
all but eight 'farmed" athletes would
not affect the senior circuit.
Mr.. Heydler said that the National
League had made preparation from
the start of the season closely to
observe the rule limiting the num-
Der of optional players to eight.
This, he pointed out, was in accord
ance with the action taken by the
minor leagues at their Hartford
meeting. at that time a close check
on the number of players sent to the
minors on options was ordered kept
and it was the belief of baseball men
fere that an order to major league
clubs requiring them to observe the
maximum eight has resulted there
from.
Close observers of the major league
game said tonight that the rule may
have been violated in the American
circuit by one or more teams through
4 misunderstanding.

New York, May 14-(AP)-A new

in his farewell American race at the
Yankee Stadium on May 26, his
friends announced here today. The
flying Finn has already begun train
ing for the test. in which he will
match strides with the brilliant
Penn State athlete, Alan Helffrich.
Nurmi is confident that he can de-
feat the college middle distance star,

is one of the few American stars
against whom Nurmi has not match

Cambridge, Mass, May 14-(AP)-
Outlining Harvards athletic policy
and needs, Henry Pennypacker,
chairman Of the University commit
tee of the regulation of athletic
sports, in an article prepared for
publication tomorrow declares:
There may be just ground for the
remark that we have lacked in re-
cent years plentiful supply of ath-
letic material" Much of this ma
terial, he points out, is found among
the class of boys "of scanty finan-
cial means" and that as a result of
inferior employment opportunities at
Harvard these may have been forced
elsewhere.

ming by a near riot which took sew
eral policemen to quell. Morrison
turned back Boston with five hits,

came embroiled in an argument with
w. ]. Lewis of Boston, spectator.
They were preparing to mix" when,

New Thrills In
Owning Racers

Newmarket, England, April o!
"a. p. by mail \-Women IN England
have taken greater interest IN morse
racing this spring than ever pelore.
There are nearly 800 women owners
of fiat or straight running horses'
while a great many others are eA-
tensively interested In steeplecnas-
inc or other forms of the sport COM
ing under national hunt rules. A
hundred years ago there were but
very few women race horse owners
in this country, but the fad within
the last 25 years has spread through
out the British Isles, and every rae
ing center now has its quota OF TAR
owners who take an active part IN
the sport.
The latest addition to the list OF
women who possess running steeos
is Mrs. ]. B. Brunei Cohen, wife OF
a member of parliament, who pur-
chased Hideaway at Kempton after
he had won her a ten to one bet In
the Ashford Plate event. Mrs. Cohen
had but $3.50 on Hideaway, but she
was 50 overjoyed at victory that she
purchased the winner at the auction
following the race for $1,700. II she
is successful, she says, other horses
will be purchased with Hideaway's
winnings.
In connection with the world-fam-
Gus Derby. 1t is recalled that no wo-
man has ever won this event, al
though for years they have been
among the competitors. Lady James
Douglas, however triumphed in the
substitute race Of 1918. her colt
Gainsborough winning the 1000
Guineas and the substitute st. Leger,
x1~~k IN
Douglas was the first woman to win
The Oaks.
In regard to steeplechasing, Lady
Nelson won the Grand National in
1915. while Mrs. Henry Peel was sue
cessful in the substitute race of 1918.
Women owners. however, have won
numerous other big races. the records
for the last year alone showing
that for the third successive season
Mrs. c. Softer Whitburn headed the
winning women owners and came
eighth on the general list. In the
one year Mrs. Whitburn's colors
came in for place in % races. bring
ing in nearly 100000 as prize money.
With all these successes, however,
she did not win a single first class
event. On the other hand, Eleanor,
Lady Torrington, won the City and
Suburban, Mrs. r. Jeffrey the Royal
Hunt Cup, and Mrs. J. Rudd the
Ebor Handicap.
Women for years have been inter
ested in the raising Of blooded hors-
es. and in this regard it is recorded
that Lady Sykes headed the list of
winning breeders, just beating Lord
Derby. with n races Of a total Of
$4,000. There is no record here Of
woman ever having been licensed
as public trainer, but during the
war women frequently carried on for
the absent trainer men folks who
were at the front. No woman either
has ever been licensed to ride under
Jockey Club rules, but there is talk
That they may. sooner or later, and
ride in such events as the Newman
ket Town Plate and point to- point
races generally.

COLBY BATMEN
MEET Bates Nine
THIS AFTERNOON
Especial to Kennebec JournaD


: Waterville, May 1.-THE Colby
baseball team will leave Waterville
tomorrow forenoon for Lewiston to
face the Bates crew in the last state
series games between the two col
leges this year. After the win of the
locals over the Lewiston collegians
last week. the Blue and Gray nine
is determined to repeat the act and
in this way will take the top berth
in the state league.
Coach Roundy will probably start
Jack" Corbett, his premier south
paw twirler who turned back the
Garnet last Saturday on Seavern's
field in a most efficient manner. Cor
bett is the most likely bid that the
Blue and Grey mentor has in his bag
and with Heal along to take over the
hurting honors should anything go
wrong, the locals have a most for
midable pitching staff. Chase will be
behind the bat for the Waterville
collegians and by his clever work
last week, he greatly aided in win
ming the game.
The workout this afternoon was
light because of the poor weather con-
ditions and all that Coach Roundy
required was some light infiefi and
batting practice with a little side ex-
ercise for the outfielders. Several of
the men complained this afternoon of
stiff arms from the cold and as a
result the practice was stopped early.
1t Is hoped that the weather condi-
tions tomorrow will be better than
today SO that the team will be in its
best possible condition to meet the
Bates nine.
The men who are to make the trip
are as follows: pitchers, Corbett,
Heal, Mason and Trainor: catchers,
Chase and Fletcher: infielders. Cap
tain McGowan; Robert Fransen,
Hannifen, O'Brien, Smart and E,rick-
son; outfielders. Everett Fransen.
Callaghan. Fagerstrom. Peabody and
McCroary. The team is to leave in
the large White Line bus shortly be-
fore ten o'clock and will return to
Waterville directly after the game.
