THE SPORTEICHT
BY CRANTLAND RICE.

If he stays out until next June, the
| ring game will see the astonishing
proposition OF q champion listed at
| or to /, possibly greater odds (all bets
| on in case of fouD. Schmeling went
back a long way from his last years
form. He will slip still farther In an
other year II he doesn't practice his pro-
feSsion.
And it isn't wise for any champion
to wait too long, with the fight game
| tottertng along the foul line, with q
precipice on either side. In another
year 1t might be too late, where the big
money Is, anyway.
In the Meanwhile.
IN the meanwhile, Sharkey, Campolo
L and the winner of the Striblng-
Won Porat affair in Chicago should be
able to furnish suitable entertainment,
provided some agreement is made to
insure the public complete protection
against the fouling germ.
If no such arrangement can be made,
there will be no use in promoting any
Others fights.
The Stribling-Von Porat contest may
bring out something of interest, and
Campolo will be heard from before the
Summer Is over If he gets his chance.
He is nobody's powder puff.
College Base Ball.
In the first days qualifying round
George Won Elm played Is holes in 6
under As. Diegel came back in SO over
! Hoylake'S toughest nine. Here are two
men who have the flame, If they can
only keep it burning. That old night
mare of one bad round often haunts
both. Either can make par look dizzy
over any course when at his best. The
toughest part of an open championship
Is being at your best with the pulses
trying to jump sideways.
THE formation of an Eastern college
L league more than doubled interest
in base ball along the Atlantic, so far
as the college game happened to be
concerned. A year ago Yale and Prince
ton played a ball game before a few
hundred spectators. At their last game,
a few days ago, the attendance was
reported to have been 10000. Cornell
and Dartmouth played before 1900 at
Hanover. SO the game that was Slip
ping in the East year ago has come
back. 1t IS too fine college game to
be lost having all the physical adj
vantages of foot ball, without the over
emotionalized side.
Dartmouth'S team set q pace too
fast for the others to follow, and there
were more good teams than usual.
The Navy Record.
THE Navy has no kick to offer for
| l. its athletic record this last season.
Its undefeated teams included boxing,
wrestling, water polo, crosS-country,
gymnasium and rifle outfits. The fenc-
| ing record is won and lost; the
tennis record, won and lost; SWIM
ming, won and 2 lost; lacrosse. 6
xxyOy, NJ 70 =
lost to Columbia and has beaten Har-
ward. Pennsylvania, Syracuse, M. I. T.,
California and Princeton. The base ball
team won IA and lost 3 games.
This general average among long
list of competitions Is strictly high
class.
Both Young Stribling and Otto Won
Porat have great chance Friday night
| If either can win deciSively. But neither
will make any Roadway with Just an
other one Of those things winding up
in another argument
As Mr. Adams once remarked upon the
KtplinO trail,
Wen find out somewhat shortly IN the
old NeU England Udle
II "the HARVARD OF the species 70 az
deadly as the Yale"
A year ago Johnny Goodman, the
| young Omaha amateur, led the qualify
ing field of the United States open
with 140. Later on he stopped Bobby
Jones abruptly at Pebble Beach, largely
by winning the first three holes and
then making a brilliant finish down
the stretch.
More than few regarded this latter
, episode as fluke, but Goodman has
proved again he is no fiuke golfer. He
turned in 141 for the 36 qualifying
holes this week for the open and this
score was within one stroke of the low
est score made by over LOO entries.
With practically all the leading
American and British stars safely in
the fold at Hoylake, the scrapping that
starts today should be one of the most
interesting events in golf history. Any
battle that draws together such stars
aS Jones. Horton Smith, Diegel, Comp
ston, Mitchell, Cotton. Won Elm, etc,
is bound to carry a story worth read
ing, with an aftermath worth check
ing up.
