YALE PREXY To
URGE LESS
SPORTS

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Aug. 81
James Rowland Angel, president Of
Yale University, in his annual re-
port, delayed by the illness which
prevented him from attending the
last commencement exercises, de-
plores the influence of athletics on
the average undergraduate, togeth-
err with the tendency for elaborate
and costly entertainments and So
cial functions which interfere with
the scholarship of the student.
Stating that although the asso.
citation Of the men outside of the
college in athletics and outdoor
recreations constitutes an essential
part of the university, he urges
that a time limit be set upon the
students for the participation IN
sports, declaring that a danger lies
in the burdens placed upon them
in the various competitions.
He states that an organized sys-
tenn Of requirements has grown up
that tendss to make the students
submit themselves to preparations
not necessary for the duties of the
place and which constitute a very
: imperfect measure of fitness, add
ing that they absorbed so much OF
. the students time that he finds i.
a difficulty to maintain a passing
grade, much less do work that de-
! serves the name Of scholarship.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27.-That
RED" Grange, Illinois football star,
may have a perfect field or turf
upon which to make his dazzling
runs October 81, the University or
Pennsylvania athletic council has
spent already in the neighbohood OF
$40, 900.
From a. veritable sea Of mud last
spring, through the diligence or
James German, assistant to Grad
uate Manager Ernest B. Cozens,
Franklin Field gridiron has been
transformed to a velvety plot or
grass. And the turf now on the
Penn Field will not disappear. after
a few games have been played.
After consulting all the grass ex.
perts in this vicinity, German found
a formula which would grow roots
long enough to- Withstand rough
treatment.
After spending practically the
same amount Of money in the last
two years to grow grass on the
football field in season, the labor
and expenditures proved a loss.
After a few games were played,
blade Of grass became as scarce as
seats for a big game.
Penn did not want Western
eIevens to come here and play on a
sparsely grassed field when Middle
Western colleges are accustomed to
playing on fields that are not used
at all during the week. So it was
decided, no matter what the cost,
Penn was to have a perfect field
for Grange and his Illinois team

George Sisler Has
Built a New
Playing Team

Whoever invented the wild
warn that George Sisler would
be deposed from the leadership
of the st. Louis Browns must
have overlooked the progressive
moves of that famous player.
Sisler is recognizing his team.
Since the beginning of the sea-
son he has developed Outfielders
Rice and Bennett, Infielder La
Motto, Catchers Hargrave and
Dixon and Pitchers Giard and
CASTOR, all new men.
The Browns manager didn't
err when he traded Shocker to
the Yankees inasmuch as the
once invincible "spitball" finger
seems to have lost much of his
cunning. Sisler got one of the
finest young catchers in Har-
grave, for whom he gave Sew
ereid to the Washington. In
short, the Browns are under a
course of reconstruction that
ought to bear fruit in 1925.

Eddie Collins.
Bluege, third base-Is the best
Of his lot in the game today; a
truly remarkable performer-makes
the hard ones look easy-is the per-
sonification Of consistency.
Wright, shortstop-Surely Is the
main cog in the Pirates infield; re-
sponsible in a great measure for
their great showing.
Speaker. left field-Performing in
great style and batting at a re-
markable gait.
Combs, center field-A sensa,
tional outfielder; ranks with the
best in the game today.
Simmons, right field: Has batted
the Mackmen to their present posi-
tion-fielding in a most remarkable
manner.
''Not wishing to appear the least
bit selfish, here's hoping I can do
the repeat act in great style. IL
the treat in store for this year s
winners is a little bit as good as
it was for the fortunate ones last
year, then they're in for a great
time. To have seen the world Sc
ries last year was in itself a rare
occasion, but as a guest of The
Washington Times, it indeed was
one of those things you read about
but seldom see. With best wishes
and trusting this will be another
Washington year, beg to remain,

BIG CROWD SEES GODFREY
BEST coNRoY ON COAST

Los ANGELES, Aug. 27.-George
Godfrey, coIored heavyweight from
Philadelphia, proved one Of the
biggest drawing cards ever seen IN
a local ring when more than 1900
fans saw him stop Jim COnrOy. a
comparatively unknown heavy
weight in two rounds at the
Olympic Auditorium last night.
Godfrey gave the white heavyweight
an unmerciful beating for two
rounds but failed to have him on
the floor. AS the bell sounded TO
end the second round Referee Larry
McGrath waved the boxers to their
corners and gave the bout ~

Connecticut's First Big
Fight in Years

WATERBURY,, Conn, Aug. 81
The vanguard Of the army OF box

necticut's first title fight in almost
a quarter Of century began pour
ing into Waterbury today from
The championship fight tonight be-
tween Kid Kaplan. featherweight
title holder, and BaDe Herman, of
California, and New York, chal-
lenger, has made this little city
metropolis least for q day. Only
unlike a metropolis the home
folks, are solidly behind Kaplan,
the home product.
It is estimated that close to 20,-
O00 fans will attend the fight at the
ball park tonight, half Of them from
out of town. Waterbury expects
to handle the biggest crowd that
has ever descended on it with speed
and ease.
Connecticut's one-man boxing
commission, Thomas 3. Donohue.
arrived yesterday to take charge of
ali arrankements. While he will
not announce the referee until to-
night, it is generally understood
Dave Fitzgerald, of New Haven, will
be chosen.
Connecticut is solidly behind
Kaplan, defender Of her lone ring
title. Despite stories Of his trouble
with weight, Kaplan's hackers, say
he will wear the challenger down
in ten rounds and perhaps knock
him out.
The kid is ring freak. He can
trim down fine and then keep go
ing for fifteen rounds at top speed.
This is the first time he has started
over the long route at the weight,
however, since he won the title last
January by knocking out Danny
Kramer.
Herman is suDremely confident

BY BABE RUTH

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-I don't
like to write too much about N.Y.
self. I've had bad year. Every
one knows that. Stories have
been printed saying, I'd never
again be able to play any real
baseball. I guess those sort of
stories always are printed about
veteran players. They've been
putting Cobb out of the league
for years. But he's still there,
and fighting for batting cham
pionship in his twentieth season.
And that's eight more seasons
than I've seen in the American
League.
Anyway. / had letter from
to know how I'm feeling, and
whether i expected to regain my
form, and what I was going to
do to get in shape, and all that
sort of thing. Maybe. if he's in
terested, other people are. too. ANY
how, I'm going to write about
Babe Ruth this time. And il you
aren't interested, don't read any
further.
Right off the bat let ME say
I'm not through by a long shot.
But / do figure I'm pretty lucky
to be able to- play at all this
summer after that run Of bad
luck in the hospital Right now
feel better than I have all year.
I'm getting my strength back, and
I'm getting my legs in shape.
They're, not entirely well yet, or
strong, but I'm a lot better.
And this winter I'm going to
work harder than L ever have
to keep in condition. As quick
as the season. is over I'm going

hunting and fishing. I'm going
to stay out of doors. TIM going
to tramp around the hills and
woods. That's the best thing
I'm the world for a man who is

do me a lot Of good.
It's a funny thing how hunting
has taken on with ballplaycrs as
a means of getting in condition
and keeping in condition. Why,
this fall I'll bet there will be forty
or fifty leaguers on trips like I'm
taking.
Bob Shawkey is taking a big
party. Bob Meusel is organizing
another one. Eddie Collins, Muddy
Ruel, Joe Bush and George Sisler
all are going. Probably Benny
Bengough will go too and maybe
Sam Jones. And after six, weeks
up there in the woods they'll come
back as hard as nails.

Florida. That's a great climate
down there-and maybe can keep
away from the flu. And I can
spend a lot or time out or doors
there, too-playing golf and fishing
and doing a lot Of things to keep
