DISPUTED ADVANTAGE.

Is a short right field fence an ad-
vantage or handicap to a home team
This thought is occasioned by the
rather short right field fence at the
beautiful new Sportsmans park in
ST. Louis.
The right field stands are Is feet
farther away than last year, but due
to the fact that a 15-foot screen
which was on top of the old wall has
been removed don't believe the
drive is as difficult.
1t might be argued that since the
home team plays n games on the
field, it has a batting advantage if
the team has number of hitters who
drive them to right field
However, 1 believe the strain on
the home teams pitching staff more
than nullifies any batting advantage
should such thing exist.

} The contest today will start at

the loser will fall into the Copper
league cellar for the time being at
least.
Buck" Weaver and his men are
hoping to take the Bees into, camp
this afternoon but Bisbee is greatly
encouraged after it's double victory
over Ell Paso last weekend and is
ready to show the Blues some real
baseball.
1t is likely that Fred Baugh, new
pitching acquisition of the locals who
has arrived here from Nogales, will
hold the mound for the Blues against
Bisbee this afternoon and it is be-
lieved he will give a good account of

take a fling at his former teammates
or perhaps Bell will hurl for Bsbee.
At any rate, Manager Stradley Of the
Bees is confident that his nine will
give a fine account of themselves.

The Blues realize that their backs

DERBY ELIGIBLES.

Not in years has there been so
much interest in the Kentucky Derby,
due largely to the fact that the race
seems far more open than usual.
The news that Carlaris, so-called
wonder horse" might not start has,
of course, added much zest to the
affair." since it removes one of the
decidedly outstanding entries.
The recent showing of Bubbling
Over and Boot to Boot in finishing
first and second in a field made up
of Derby eligibles, has caused the
stock of the E. r. Bradley stable to
soar.
In fact, some of the experts are
inclined to the opinion that Bradley
colts will run one, two, three.
That would be a most amazing and
unusual performance and yet it is
possible.

EAST VERSUS WEST.

EAST VERSUS WEST.
That there is little if any differ
ence between the athletes of the east
and west, is indicated by the marks
hung up at the Drake and Penn
games recently staged.
majority of the Drake entries
were from western colleges, while
eastern athletes predominated at
Penn
Track conditions at the Drake re-
lays were bad, due to much rain; as
result much better time was made
at Penn
In the four feature relays, the half
mile, two-mile, three mile and four
mile, the easterpers turned in the
better marks.
However, in the field events, the
westerners as usual topped the best
showing of the Penn athletes in most
of them.
Roland Locke's record of $40
seconds for the 100 yards was easily
the. most sensational performance of
the day.
Summing up the showing made at
the two meets proves it was about a
$3.50 proposition as to superiority.

LoCKE,s RECORD FEAT

Prior to Lockes record perform
ance at the Drake games the best
time for 100 yards was 3-5 seconds.
That official figure is shared by
several sprinters.
Locke's feat of being timed in az
seconds stands alone. Due to the
fact that he had the wind at his
back, it may not be allowed. In all
probability no one will argue that
the slow track offset the advantage
of the strong wind that was blowing.
In this connection I recall a re-
mark that the late Mike Murphy
once made to me. At that time he
had charge of track at University of
Pennsylvania.
81 really think it is physically inn
possible for any sprinter to over 100
yards in better than 10 seonds,' said
Murphy.
'It is my belief that any marks
under that figure should be credited
to faulty timing rather than unusual
ability"
1T will be interesting to see what
Locke does in the 100-yard dash at
the national collegiate championships
in June.

PRINCESS NOW
HAS A HOME OF
HER TRULY own

LONDON, June 12. - Queen Mary
and the queen of Norway have put
the finishing touches on an attractive
cottage home which Princess Victoria
has ACQUIRED in this quaint village
of Ever in Huskinghamshire. The
princess is now recuperating from
recent attack of pneumonia and soon
will take up her permanent home in
the cottage.
This will be the first time Princess
Victoria has ever had a home Of her
own. She was always the devoted
companion of her mother, the late
Queen Dowager Alexandria, and lived
most of her life at Sandringham or
! Marlborough house.
! Many of her treasured possessions
have been moved to her new cottage,
including her favorite portrait Of
her mother, which used to rang in
Marlborough house. Her Grand
piano, a gift from King Edward has
also been transferred to liver.
There will be only women SER
wants in the new house, all of them
being from the staff which served
the princess at Sandringham.
Copies of the Murillos, Rubens and
VeIasquez in the Dulwich gallery
will, never be worked off on sue
ceeding generations as originals be-
cause the officials in control of the
gallery will not permit artists to
make copies on canvasses the same
| size as the original pictures.
Americans visit the Dulwich gal
| lery in large numbers during the
tourist season and seem to be more
familiar with the masterpieces than
British visitors are. The gallery is
attached to Dulwich college. 1t was
! established in 1910 with pictures
