Charges that Princeton, Cornell,
Harvard and other big universities of
the East have been guilty of poor

have been received at the Hilltop, and
ALL despite the fact that they had
entered teams, reiterated that they
withdrew solely for the reason that
they felt that their men would have
a better chance in some other event
InsinuationS from one quarter that
the reason for the withdrawal of the
college entered in the two-mile event
was because of the ineligibility of one
of the runners is too ridiculous for
refutation, according to Director of

had an entry in that event is en-
phatic in his denial that eligibility had
anything to do with the drawing out
of their teams, according to Little,
who asserts Harvard, Cornell, Prince

tain terms that the question of eligi-
bility did not enter into the with

Recently it was reported that Car
roll had applied to Base Ball Com
missioner Lands to be relieved of the
agreement he had entered into with
Detroit. 1t also had been reported
that Carroll would not play profess
sional ball when he finished college.

But the general opinion among base
ball men is that Commissioner Lands
would not grant such a request as
Carroll was reported to have made
and the Detroit management is conf
dent Carroll will not decide to forego
the call of the big leagues altogether.
Carroll has no disagreement of any
sort with the Detroit management, so
far as is known, and the Tigers ex-
pect to see the young college star
pitching his head off for them before
the fourth of July milestone OF the
season has been passed.
1t is long time they have waited
for Carroll. Detroit may have thought
the lure of professional base ball
would coax the young pitcher into its
ranks at once, but he would not leave
college until he had completed his
work there.
OF course the fact that Carroll has
been on the reserve list of a major
league club for two years brings up
the point as to what amateur base
ball means in college.

keIly's World Record.

AS president OF the Professional
Golfers Association, l was so busy
that I didn't have much time to fol-
low the matches in the national
championship at French Lick. Ind,
last Summer, but 1 did have time to
keep an eye on my old friend, Jim
Kelly, the Indianapolis sport writer
and publicity man, who contented
himself with viewing most of the
tournament from the shade of the
clubhouse.
Jim holds a golf, record which prob
ably never has equaled by any other
man.
In his younger days he was quite a
base ball player, being a southpaw
pitcher and batter, and when he took
up golf he naturally got himself a
set of left-handed clubs. Then, one
day, while playing over the public
links at Indianapolis, he made a short
hole in one.
Time passed. Jim decided to
switch around and play right-handed
golf He got himself a new set of
clubs and started out. Not long after,
he made another hole in one.
Has any other player ever made a
left-handed hole in one and right
handed hole in one?

wholly mistaken attitude as to so
called Summer base ball constitutes
one of the worst evils that college
base ball has to face. Moreover, 1t
has had a bad influence over the
amateur spirit in other college sports.
1t has happened on more than one
occasion that a college player, not
wishing to jeopardiZe his standing on
his school team, has entered into
private agreement with a big league
club to join it. 1t also has happened
more than once that he has sought to
get out of that agreement later, when
some other club came along and Of

OF course, this situation didn't eX-
list in CAROLS case. He tied himself
up with the Tigers in a legal way.
Another college pitcher expected to
report to the big leagues in June is
Farrell Of the University of Pennsyl-
vania. He is on the reserve list of the
Giants. Carroll has been letting his
college opponents down with about
five hits per game and has batted
remarkably well. There has been no
college pitcher in years better pre-
pared to enter the big show.

On the 400-yard second hole. in the
first round, his drive went into
bunker about 10 yards from the
green. He decided TO use a straight
faced club in an attempt to reach the
green on his second, but smothered
his ball. 1t hit the bank of the
bunker and bounced off Is feet to the
left, still in the trap.
Dutra, thoughtful of any players
following him, smoothed the sand from
which he had Just played before going
over for his next shot. Whereupon
the referee penalized him a stroke.
But this was not the end of it.
When the round was completed the
tournament officials considered the
case and decided Dutra's penalty
should be two strokes.
1t speaks well for Mortie's golfing
temperament that he went on there
after and played as good golf as
before. finally finishing his 70 holes
with a score of 290.
However, those two lost strokes
were rather tragic. They cost him
the championship. Neil Christian, the
Yakima, Wash, expert, won the title
with 2S9. If Dutra hadn't been
penalized he would have had 2SS.
