Pip" Koehler, former Penn State athlete who has paid his own expenses in order to don 6 Giant uniform in the south, went all the way from Pennsylvania to be crowned king of the orange blos- sons festival at Sarasota. Jack Bentley pounded out long drives on three occasions only to see Koehlcr take them on the run. The col legian had been placed in right field where the danger is perhaps less, but convinced the OnlOokers that he could take care of himself when shots drifted his way.
 Hal Frisch and Frank Frisch, the unheralded and unsigned brothers with the Giants, played together around second base in nine-inning tussle, in which the Orange Bios sons defeated the Manhattans, II 10 s, Maun, Manners, Greenfield, Nchf, Scott and Wisner did what pitching was done, each side gathering twelve hits.

Mack said Inc last contingent of the Athletics to arrive had made such rapid progress in their workouts that l> felt they were rraGy for a regular baseball game. Heretofore practice has been confined chiefly to batting and pitching. Manager Mack indicated that from the present showing of his squad the regulars would include Hausrr, Bishop, Gal 1oway and Dykes in the infeld and Lamar Simmons and Miller in the out6eld with Cochranc and Fox added to his catching staff and a number of promising rocky pitchers, Mack believes he has the strongest team in several years.

New York, March 4.--Football last fall had its -Four lIorscmcn" in the famous Notre Dame backhcld. Well, here's the Zig Four" in base ball-Cobb, Speaker lTornsby and Ruth. Balloons four trump cards, as it were.
 Over a stretch of 10 seasons or from 1915 to 1924. inclusive. these Goliaths of Swat have hung up combined batting average of .S51, remarkable record for consistency of performance.
 During that period they have copped II batting championships, Hornsby having five. Cobb four and Speaker and Ruth one apiece. They have scored 100 runs or over on 19 occasions; made 200 or more hits 15 times and topped the 400 mark in swatting thrice.
 Ruth and Hornsby rate two of the greatest sluggers in all baseball history. They stand supreme in their respective circuits. They hold practically every slugging record for modern play.
 Ruth holds the worlds mark for home runs in q single season with 59; for scoring the most runs-1T7; for most total bases on hits-457, and for batting in the most runs 170.
 Hornsby holds the National league record for homo runs with 42; for most total bascs-450; for batting In the most runs-l52, and last season established q new batting figure for pr"sentday baseball. hitting .424.
 Cobb still holds the base stealing honors for modern times with 9G thefts in 1915 and Speaker the two base hits per season with 59 made in 1923. Moreover, Cobb and Speaker set numerous other marks before the 1915 season which are not taken into consideration. as Hornsby and Ruth were not in the majors in those days
 'Basoballs Big Four" is a mighty appropriate appelation for these four great all-around stars-Cobb l Speaker Hornsby and Ruth. The game doubtless has never known such q solective group all things considered.

It was a n0-dcCiSion 12 round bout in Jersey City, but Wills gained stainless verdict although his meth eds have been criticized by boxing experts iQ that he ''holds and hits"
 When Wills and Tirpo entered the ring that night battle with the champion was reported to he the prize. Today the negro faces an other preliminary test before he can hope to meet Dempsey. His chal- lenge is in the hands of the New York state athletic commission which promises 10 take some action Friday. Other papers, signed by Tommy Gibbons of St. Paul. are be- fore inc commission. and the result may be stipulation by the New Yors boxing body that Wills and Gibbons meet for the right to fight the champion,
 Wills first came 10 light in 191t when ho knocked out Battling Tay- Tor in seven rounds. For several years he fought through the small timber, finally coming upon sam Me Vcy, Sam I.anFfor1 and Jeff Clark in 1918, McNcy went 10 tho canvas in six rounds, I.angforl stoCl ID for seven and Clark wont down in six.

SH|PBU|LDING IS BEING SETTLED
British Admiralty Crisis EVi-
 dently Smoothed Out

London, July 20 tPt Premier Baldwin has been busy over the weekend endeavoring 10 smooth oai the differences aEtoug his iAius'r:s on the cruCla problem Of nnN a, ship. building, and in the opinion o' nos, parliamentary writers tine fesigna- tons of ". C. ltrilgcmnn, as first lord of the admiralty, and Of Al. miraI Earl Beatty and the other sra lords, which were threatened al one time, will be withheld.
 The differences hinge on tho ad- miralty's demand for new naval con- struction involving q fleet or fast cruisers 10 cost from two million 10 three million pounds apiece, The chancellor of the e&ch"quer, Winston Churchill, supported by Lord Birk- onhead and various other nlinist CTS. has been strcnuously opposed 10 hi6 making the plea that the state of the country's finances should govern fu- ture construction.
 If was the task Of the premierAto find a way to reconcile the differ ences of opinion, and one of, the things he had to bear in mind was that 10 give up plans for naval con- sthuction on an elaborate scaIp fouid mean the losing of an oppor- tunlty 10 find places for the large number Of unemployed men, But ii is reported promise has been made that there will be modification of the admlralty's program, and that when the cabinet meets today. the difficult ties will be overcome.
