CARDS MENAC|NG
SLIPPING GIANTS
Only a. Games Back, Taking

Rally Beats Leaders.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,


THEIR National League lead
melting away rapidly before
the thrust of the Western
clubs, the New York Giants
sought to apply the brakes and avert
a dangerous skid today.
The situation was not yet precarious,
but the world champions were doing
no cheering over the 1act that the
juicy seven-game lead they enjoyed
over the st. Louis Cardinals four days
ago had shrunk to four. Not when
they are confronted by a four-game
series with the Cards in general and
the Dean brothers in particular start

X|ALE will play no fewer than six
I of the others this year. Prince
ton, Harvard, Cornell, Columbia
and Dartmouth will meet four. Penn
and Brown have scheduled three
games with other teams in the un-
official league.
The unwieldly number of so-called
major college foot ball teams in the
East-there are 80 of them-for many
years has brought suggestions of vari-
Gus grouping along the lines of the
western Conference, the Pacific Coast
Conference and other similar organi-
cations.
But widely divergent athletic aims
and policies as well as the necessity
for maintaining traditional rivalries
of ancient standing have contrived
to kill off these plans before they
were even well started.

nj Although still entirely in the

definite formation.
Tentative plans leading toward Or

LONDON, May 26.-John Bull is steeling his heart against his for mer countrymen who have become citizens of the United States and returned to Great Britain.
 Appli cations from naturalized Americans of British birth for re- turn to the mother country often are granted-but only on condition that they will not take any em- ployment, paid or unpaid, during their sojourn here. s-
 Hundreds of cases have occurred, says the Home Office, where former British subjects have come back from abroad, looking for jobs.
 Requests for permission to work are rejected fin the interests of our own people, who have borne the brunt of the depression" The rule against foreign workers applies mot, only to aliens of foreign origin but aliens of British origin"

POPPY SALE IS
 BR|SKEST HELD
 IN MANY YEARS
Many Purchase Little Rec Flowers from Legion
 Auxiliary Members

Members of the American Le- zion Auxiliary are to be found on all streets of the business section of the city today selling red pop pies, for the benefit of all disabled veterans, and suffering families of World War veterans.
 Sales were proceeding briskly all morning with the largest patron- age recorded in years as shoppers, business men and women and children bought the red floral in signia.
 The poppies are all made by dis abled veterans who received one cent apiece for their work. All of the money not spent on actual expenses is expended to provide help for needy veterans and their families, both through the local American Legion post and the na- tional organization.
 This is an annual occasion and is observed throughout the Eng fish speaking world. It is one char ity which has practically universal appeal and always receives whole hearted support. Nearly every busi- ness house in the city has on dis play one or more poppy wreaths, purchased from the Legion Auxil- iary to commemorate those who suffered in the world war.
