SAYS CORNELL
 WILL WIN IN
 REGATTA RACE

PCUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June 16 -One crew, in the opinion of Bill Haines, coach of Massachusetts h. stitute of Technology, will dominate the Hudson River today whe n nine universities race in the annual four mile Varsity classic.
 That crew is Cornell, said Haines.
 Cornell has great crew. It is the only crew on the Hudson wor- thy of the name" continued Hainas. Wisconsin looks powerful al- though the crew has not raced in competition this year. California is big and strong. Washingtons crew is too stiff. There is no body swing there but the crew will row a high rate of speed and perhaps lead for while. The Navy does not look like the Navy of old. Co., lumbia does not appear dangerous. Cornell is big and heavy, almost too heavy, but the boys have the actions of light men. It looks to me like the Cornell load is con- posed of perfect oarsmen. I do not see how the crew can be beaten"

Prize fighters are fragile fel- lows and W. L. (Young) Stribling has been beset by his share of ail- ments calculated to affect his per- formances in the ring.
 It is good news, therefore, to learn from the ballyhoo m aile d from Geauga Lake, Ohio, that the southern contender for worlds heavyweight championship honors has recovered fully, from an injured hand, strained fragments in his left shoulder and neuritis in his right shoulder.
 Moreover, Stribling has promised Pa he will stay away from air planes, speedboats and motorcycles until after he fights Max Schmel- ing at Cleveland July 3.
 Young Stribling probably will need his full health and strength to whip Schmeling over the 15,- round route. The distance favors the German, if there is enough of it left after the early rounds for him to catch up with the fast-step- ping Georgian.

CHICAGO, June 9.-Bill Cissell, the ex-cavalryman from the Unit ed States army, is back riding 'en high and wide with the Chicago White Sox this year after three dis appointing campaigns.
 When Charles A. Comiskey, own CT of the White Sox, startled the baseball world in 1925 by buying Cissell from Portland of the Pacific Coast League for $123,OO0, fans ex- pected Cissell to do a lot of startl- ing things.
 He did them, but they all startled the White Sox instead of the oppo- sition. He fielded poorly and his batting was under the 300 mark for his first three seasons.
 So far this year, however, Cissell has come back in big style. He has been winning game after game for the White Sox with long hits in the pinches and has turned in some of the choicest fielding to be seen around the American League.
 He looks like he has arrived" at last to pay dividends on the large Comiskey investment.
 Cissells rise in the world of Dase- ball was story book romance. Back in 1925 he was with the Unit ed States cavalry, where he gained the attention of a scout from the Des Moines club of the Western League.
 The scout talked with Cissell. learned that he would rather play baseball than ride horses any day, and forthwith purchased his release from the army for $8o.
 C.ssell burned up the Western League in 1926 and Des Moines re- ceived a fancy dividend on it's in- vestment by selling him to Portland for $13,000 After two bright years at Portland, he was sold to the

POLO'S GROWTH

One of the best examples of the extent to which polo has developed among the youth of the land is fur nished by the University of Arizona team, now in the east on tour financed largely by the funds of a benefit performance given in Tue son by Will Rogers, who can smack a polo ball himself as well as spin a yarn.
 The Arizona boys call themselves the wildcats Taking the IT mounts where they can find them, they have compiled an impressive record. They play all year in Ari- zona, taking on Army teams for the most part and roaming afar for intercollegiate competition. In less than three years the Wildcats" have developed from scrub outfit to a first-rate team, handicapped around 10 goals. This is a contrast with the situation at Yale, where the Els have been mastering pow erful teams of 25 goals or better, including international talent, own ing their own strings of thorough bred ponies. The Wildcats, how ever. have done well enough with out the benefits of wealth and aris- tocratic polo background.

POTENTIAL INTERNATIoNALs

It may not be. long before Ari- zona and possibly New Mexico join Texas and California in contribut- ing to the fold of international polo stars.
 Eric Pedley broke through the ancient barriers last year to be- come a member of the American Big Four" and strike a firm blow for California as well as the U. S. A. His companion, Elmer Boeseke, has assumed top-ranking stature in recent seasons.
 Texas sent H. w. (Rube) Will Hams and Cecil Smith into the thick of high-goal play last sum- mer and they probably will be on hand again. Smith is regarded by no less an authority than Louis Stoddard, president of the U. S.. Polo association. as the best No. 2 in the country, now that Tommy Hitchcock has moved to the back field.

VIII be the second time in the last
few years in which the authority
OF a senate investigating body to
examine private citizens has been
tested in the United States supreme
court.
In the former instance, the ap-
peal Of Harry F.. Sinclair, who had
refused to answer questions on the
ground that the evidence given
might be used in court proceedings
pending against him, was overruled
and he was subsequently convicted,
sentenced and confined to jail for
contempt.
BY the action of dismisssing
Bishop Cannon's petition for a writ
of prohibition against the Nye COM
mittee, the way was cleared for the
Nye committee to go ahead with its
projected hearings on the handling
of anti-Smith campaign funds by
Bishop Cannon in the presidential
campaign IN Virginia.
The appeal will be based on the
ground that the Nye committee does
not have the authority to investi-
gate the acts of a private citizen
and furthermore that presidential
electors are state officers and the
federal corrupt practices act does
not extend to them.
The senate committee which ex-
amined Harry F. Sinclair was with
in its rights in interrogating the oil
man, the bishops attorneys argued
because he was a witness in legal
ly constituted probe of the acts of
the interior department. The Can
non investigation, however, it is
contended, being conducted under
resolution, is aimed directly at
private citizen.
