n YEw YORK, December R.-
M While the Ivy League" may
N be organized formally some
4 day as an Eastern foot ball
circuit, 1t isn't likely to be for some
time.
That was the opinion generally
expressed by athletic oficiak Of the
seven colleges-Yale, Harvard, Prince
ton, Cornell. Dartmouth, Columbia
and Pennsylvania-in commenting on
the proposal revived yesterday by the
student newspapers of the schools.
James Lynah, Cornell athletic d.
rector, whose invitation of representa-
tives of the six other colleges for q
hunting party at his Southern planta-
ton, gave rise to the rumor the
plan might be discussed there, came
out with a fiat no"
Say They Don't Want 1t.
ID EMARKING that it was moi prac-
~ tical because of schedule diff
culties, Lyman said: I'VE won't dis
cuss an Eastern foot ball league. None
of these men want one. I don't
want one either"
Reynolds Benson, Columbia's ath-
letic manager, and one OF those in
vited south. said Lion authorities
never have considered the matter"
Favorable, though non-committal.
comments came from DR.. Edward s.
Elliott and H. Jamison Swarts, ath-
letic directors at Columbia and Penn,
and DR.. E. Leroy Mercer, dean Of
the Penn department of physical
education. who agreed that the idea
had merit and that the favorable
undergraduate sentiment should be
considered.

of a ball club to have beaten those
Tigers, who registered their thir-
tenth victory in Is starts.
Detroit bounded the ball, and
the Bengal defense reached its
peak when Gehringer made a
backhand stab on Stone and
turned it into a double play. There
was no time to shift the ball, so
Gehringer flipped it with his
gloved hand to Rogell and the lat
ter completed the play.
Just so far as hits were con-
cerned, or the number of hits were
concerned, Washington had no
excuses to offer. The GriffS made
IA blows, not all of them robust,
but still legitimate hits. There was
one by Travis that struck Geh-
ringer on the shoulder and an
other by Bolton which hung and
then ducked as Owen reached for
it. Perhaps more rigid scoring
might have charged Owen with a
boot and taken a blow from Boil
ton. But there was enough to be
said on the other side to sway the
scorers judgment.

r FISHING
According to Tzaak Walton

Doc Holland of the District Pub
lie Health Service, is as CONSTANT
in bringing home the (bacon), as
he is in fishing the upper Potomac
and it's tributaries.
A few days ago, with ]. B. Pig
gott of Clarendon. he fished that
stretch of Difficult Run between
the road to Great Falls and the
river. In addition to Is cats, all
in the neighborhood of Ia
pounds, they caught Is bass, II
of which we're smallmouth, the
largest weighing two pounds. The
one lone largemouth Of the day
was also the kingfiSh. 1t scaled
21a pounds.
If you haven't tried this fish
ing, do so by all means. The
hordes of locusts have brought
thousands of catfish, many of ex-
ceptional size, up these runs,
where they strike a bass bug or
fly in a manner that leaves moth
ing to the imagination.
Actually Leave Water
Some of them actually leave the
water as they make the strike,
and the following fight is as good
as that of any bass, provided of
course that your rig is what
should be used for bass fishing; a

light bait-casting rod, or better
still, about five ounce fly rod.
Should you prefer to use bait, it
is right there, lying on the ground
in profuSion, the shells of the To-
Gusts. At this time there is moth
ing better.
Just how long this fishing will
last is not to be predicted. because
the reason for it is on the wane.
The live locuSts are practically
gone.
Contest on July Is
July Is is the date for one Of
those contests, that although
slightly goofy, still supply real fun
for the contestants and much
laughter for the gallery.
Usually between trap-ShooterS
and fly-caSters, this one will offer
a slight variation. A team of Skeet
enthusiasts of the Kenwood Skeet
Club and headed by J. B. Clark,
who recently won the club handi-
cap match. will oppose a team of
golfers, headed by Whiffy Cox,
the KenWood Club pro.
The idea, of course, is for the
contestants to play so many holes
of golf and shoot so many rounds
Of Skeet. The winners will be the
ones that have the least strokes
and knock down the most birds.
The losing side will pay for the
dinner.

The former star of the New

Bill Terry Seeks
First-SdCker

Announcement by Bill Terry
that he will go into voluntary re-
tirement as a player as soon as
he can find another first base
man seems to indicate that the
manager of the Giants has made
it absolutely unanimous by agree
ing that the club needs consider
able rebuilding.
AS it stands today, it Is so bad,
in fact, that Terry, comparatively
old and more than half crippled
with a splinted finger and a leg
that won't stay hinged, can't quit
now for fear he will be needed.
Singing Sam Leslie, in danger
of getting seriously injured by
every ball that comes in his direc-
ton, is not much of an improve
ment at first base on even one
legged Terry. The infield has
gone to seed. The pitching has
been indispensable so long that
it has become a habit, and even
against the second-raterS the
Giants are just another shoddy
club.
RumOrs Persist
Rumors persist that Terry will
be taken into the Giants front
office and that Stonewall Jack
son, straining at the end of his
tether at third base, will become
the active manager. They say
Terry would like to have it that
way.
Whether that is the plan or
simply a vague possibility based
on what the Giants have not
been doing for the last few years
probably will be answered by the
end of this season. 1t is obvious
that whatever they need they
haven't got and another clout on
the chin for them yesterday
strengthened the conviction.
The st. Louis Cardinals did 1t
by 6 to 3, Roy Parmelee scoring
the victory, Medwick and Terry
Moore helping out. the former
with a homer and the latter with
a baSe-cleaning triple.
That victory enabled the Cards
to remain in the National League
lead but by the scant margin of
a half game. The second place
Chicago Cubs made up some
ground by whipping the Brooklyn
Dodgers twice, 4 to in 10 innings
and to 4. A single by Bill urges
with Demaree on won the opener,

in the tenth.
PhiIs Swamped
The Pittsburgh Pirates beat
Philadelphia, Is to S, and in a
night game, another of the
Leagues anniversary celebrations,
the Cincinnati Reds lost to the
Boston Bees, 6 to S.
Detroit picked up a game on the
Yankees in the American League
by beating Washington, 10 to Z,
while Cleveland was trimming the
loop leaders, II to 4. The Indians
made five home runs, three CON-
ing in the third, to tie the major
league record. Two were hit by
Hal TroSky, who boosted his total
to %. Lou Gehrig hit mis- twenty

The Boston Red Sox got steady

When Charley Gehringer pulls a
boner, that's news

series with the BengalS. Rogell,
the second man at bat, got
an infield single on a ball that

hill could not field it. Gehringer
then grounded to Kuhel, who
threw to second, forcing Rogell.
For some reason or other Geh-
ringer rambled off first base and
was out on KreSS' return throw
to Kuhel. One of the Detroit
coaches yelled: "Oh, Charley" in
a voice that told its own tale Of
suffering.
Chapman either underestimate
Walkers throwing arm or was a
bit too fond of his running ability
in the first. He loafed going from
second to home and was thrown
out.
I'll bet a penny that if a coyote
took out after a jack rabbit yes

just plain hot.
Ben Chapman, the Flaming
Arrow of Alabama" ripped a
double through Owen in the third
inning and fairly burned up the
track scoring when Lewis singled
to center.
Gerry Walker stole second and
went to third when Bolton threw
into the dust in the fourth inning.
Hayworth's single scored the Tiger
SpeedSter.
Gehringer made one Of those
plays which are nothing short OF
superhunan. He made back
handed scoop of Stones bid for a
base hit and turned it into a
double play by a fine back hand
toss to Rogell, whose relay to first
was just in time.
Simmons blocked KreSs' vision
in the second inning when Owen
slid a single just out of the short
stops clutch. It was an impor-
tant thrust, for it scored Walker
and put Simmons in position to
count on a fly by Hayworth.
Bottoms hit in the fourth frame
was one of those flukes that be-
devil the lives of official scorers.

but it just wasn't fine fielding.
Fast running and a fine slide
gave Joe Kuhel a double in the
fifth frame, despite fine return
from the outfield.
Stone juggled Walkers hot
single in the sixth, but when the
Tiger runner attempted to reach
second base he was out on per-
feet peg. There are few arms in
baseball better than Stones.
Mike Martin was busy through
out the sizzling afternoon with
iced towels and wrist packs for
the suffering athletes.
Whitehill pitched six innings
before skying the wipe in favor
of Bill Dietrich. Six innings in
that heat was about enough for
anyone.
Buddy Lewis made sweet stop
and throw of a battling hopper
