PHILADELPHIA, July 3.-with
an entry list Of nearly ESQ athletes
from all sections of the United
States. the National A. A. u. junior
track and field championship meet
this afternoon in the s~esquicenten-
NAL stadium promised to be the
greatest junior meet ever held in

as Eddie Swinburne, Georgetown
half miller; Tommy Cavanaugh, $50
yard and mile star of Boston College
and Maurice Speers of the Univer.
sity Of Iowa.
Every event in the Junior program
has several outstanding stars. In
the 100 yard dash, one who will be
watched by every official and col
lege coach is George Simpson, the
East High School sprinter Of Co.
lumbus, Ohio.
Simpson won the national inter
scholastic 100 yard dash two weeks
ago in Chicago in Q $40 seconds. He
is looked upon as one Of this coun-
try's best prospects for the 1928
Olympics.

Babes Legs Go Back on

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July 3.-Checked
in his attempt to better the season
record of f1fty-nine home runs that
he established in 1921. Babe Ruth
may have to take a vacation for a
couple Of weeks.
Since early in June the big clouter
has hobb1ed about on two bad legs,
playing mainly on his nerve despite
the advice of Yankee trainers and
Manager Miller Higgins. He was
kept out of the lineup here Friday
save for a pinch-hitting appearance
in the ninth inning, and after the
game Higgins announced that Ruth
would be withdrawn for an in.
definite period.
The formation of blood clots in his
right leg have necessitated the rest,
the Yankees manager said. The
Babe will have his legs X-Rayed
and may have to take treatments
for them.
Ruth's obviously poor condition
has interfered but little with his
play this year. He is only four
homers behind his 1921 pace, having
26 circuit blows to date as compared
with 80 In his record year. He is
leading the American League in
batting with a percentage Of 800 and
is first in runs scored with 10.

Hill pitched great ball, but his
opponent, Lyons, got the "breaks''

though the cellar Senators were 60

Lyons over two rough innings, but
in the last stanza the Indians
jumped on him after one out and
battered out five runs.
