Harris Hesit0tes to Bolster
Skdding Mats Infie!d at
Expense of His Garden

Baseman Zeke Bonura can't cover

Lewis is bungling mountainous
percentage OF sWats in his direc-
ton. Travis has performed ac-
ceptably at shortstop. but hasn't ap-
preached the smooth form he un-
raveled at third base earlier in the
campaign.
It's shakv infield and a weak
armed outfleld, but replacements or
wholesale shifting represent no guar
antee of improvement. With four
straight losses gnawing at his usual
calm behavior. however, Bucky is
likely to experiment.
Having captured only four of a
dozen home games and five in their
last 49, the Mats have occasion to
fear the journey they will start to-
morrow. On the road thus far this
season they have given no indication
anything heartening will be re-
vealed on foreign fields.
Leonard Ailing Again.
Not serving to soothe the bat
tered team is the fact Dutch Leon
ard, the clubs one reliable pitcher,
absorbed So lacing from the
Browns yesterday and reinjured an
ailing right leg in the process.
Leonard who may miss turn on
the mound, was dealt his fifth de-
feat of the year when the Browns
shelled him for four runs in the
seventh inning to break a IL tie
to that point. Dutch was nicked for
half of the eight hits allowed in
that frame and failed to finish an
engagement for only the second time
this season.
Meanwhile Washington was being
checked by Vernon Kennedy, of all
people. Kennedy, who dropped 20
decisions last year, stopped the Mats
with nine hits. allowing single runs
in the fifth and eighth innings.
Ken Chase. blasted from the
mound by Chicago in his last start,
was slated to pitch for Washington
today, with Eldon Auker nominated
to toll for the Browns. Prexy Clark
Griffith named today as ladies day.

Atherton Given Gar

Allowed to Interpret

In Code Violations
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
SUN VALLEY, Idaho June 12-
Edwin N Atherton, one time F. B. I.
agent, now commissioner of the Pa
ciflc Coast Conference, was given
new powers by faculty athletic rep
resentatives of the 10-member or
ganization yesterday
At the same time the graduate
managers rejected a proposal to
eliminate spring football training.
The new setup gives Atherton
complete power Immediately in
interpreting rules and making de-
cisions in cases violating the code.
Members not satisfied with his
ruling will have the right of appeal,
but such cases will be taken up bv
faculty men only at regular meet
ings-held semiannually.
The faculty group, however. re-
mains as a court of last appeal.
Abandonment of spring football
training was discussed by the gradu-
ate managers following agitation by
coaches of other sports, who claimed
grldiron routine prevented them
from having use of athletes.
They adopted a resolution to be
submitted to the faculty represent
atives urging retention of spring
training.
Graduate managers also explored
possibilities of eliminating scouting
OF rival football teams and complete
elimination of all freshman athletic
competition. No tions
were made, but an outline of the
discussion was turned over to the
faculty heads.

Is indicating Terry

only fraction Of his old speed, but
possessed control and fine change
of pace.
After failing to win a game in
1887 for the Cards, Dean spent part
Of 1898 in the Texas League and
part of the 1899 season in Columbus,
but in neither league did he even
remotely approach the form he
showed as a Cardinal star.
Rowe, also the victim of mys-
terious arm ailment, won 10 games
in 1896 for Detroit. but could win
only one in 1887. After a bad start
in 1888 he went to Beaumont of the
Texas League, where he won Is
games and lost 9. Returning last
season. he won 10 for the Tigers and
dropped -. Now he looks some
things like his old self, having 4
victories and no losses so far this
season.
Factors in Flag Races.
If Paul Dean and Rowe can move
into the front line again as start
ing and winning pitchers, it might
have a profound effect on the pen
nant races. If dependable once
again. Dean could team with Carl
Hubbell. Harry Gumbert and Cliff
Melton to give the Giants strong
mound corps.
Likewise, the Detroit Tigers would
be as tough as ever if Rowe could
be counted on to come through
along with Tom Bridges, Buck New
som and young Harold Newhouser.

With the trepldatlon of infantry
advancing through machine-gun
fire, the Mats today were visioning
their impending prolonged road trip
as no tonic for the evils that plague
them. Mired in the American
League, the outfit isn't inclined to
regard the journey as a stepping
stone to more pleasant position.
Manager Bucky Harris. who yes
terday removed George Case from
his accustomed lead-of spot in the
batting order was threatening more
momentous moves in the West.
Bucky, at the same time, isn't posi-
tive he'll alter the team, due to the
simple fact he isn't certain he'll
bolster the club with shifts He in

AS the Mats squared off with st.
Louis today in their last home game
until July l, it appeared Detroit
again would be the shake-up scene.
1t was there one month ago that
Harris benched Rookie Jimmy Po-
fahl. shifted Case, Buddy Lewis and
Cecil Travis and sent Welaj to the
outfeld. Unless the club as cur

less will juggle the lineup at that

The Detroit Tigers are in ths
American Leagues fierce flag fight
up to their necks today and show
every sign of staying there.
So it's time for everybody to admit
that the struggle in the junior circui.
Is a fOur-Way affair, Just as the
equally bitter battle in the National
League is at least a three-way race.
The Tigers squeezed into second
place yesterday by defeating the
New York Yankees, 6-1, while the
Boston Red Sox disposed of the
threatening Cleveland Indians, 90.
The Tigers have been strong
club right along. never worse than
third in the American League since
the first week of the season. Yet
they never have won more than
four games in a row or been re-
earded as serious pennant con.
tenders by other than their fol-
lowers.
There were good reasons. At
the start of the season Charley
Gehringer was ailing and the whole
inleld was shakv. Nobody knew
how the experiment of Hank Green.

The pitching wasn't very promising
and. above everything else. the
Yankees, Red SoX and Indians all
were considered better clubs.
Bridges Curve at Best.
Tommy Bridges never had his
curve breaking any better than yes
terdav when he held the Yanks to
five hits. He would have had a
shutout except for an error BY Rudy
York. And his teammates gave him
the help of II hits, including three
home runs.
The Red SoX defeated the Indians
handsomely. They made seven hits
off Bob Feller in five innings and
gave him his fourth defeat of the
season. Jack Wilson kept seven hits
by the Indians scattered and had
the help of the bic bats of Joe
Cronin and Ted Williams. each OF
whom hit home runs with men on
base.
Feller wasn't the only wonder
pitcher to fall into a pit Yesterday.
Bucky Walters. who won nine games
before he was beaten. was pounced
upon by the Phillies. Al. for his

Held Sure to Crack
N. 6. A. A. Records
BY EARL HILLIGAN,

CHICAGO, June l2.-The great
est field in the history of the meet
one which imperils records in II
of the IA events-Will compete in
the 10Th National Collegiate Ath-
letic Associations track and field
championships June 2l-22 at Min
neapolis.
With the Olympic trials cam
celed, the N. c. A. A. meet at the
University of Minnesota Stadium
will draw the cream of the Nations
collegiate crop of stars-many of
whom would have represented the
country in international competi-
ton but for the war. And this
collection of talent promises to
make the Minneapolis meet one of
the finest non-Olympic competitions
ever held.
Some Great Sprinters.
The world and meet mark of "a
seconds for the l00-yard dash may
go by the boards. It's been equalled
by Clyde Jeffrey, the Stanford fly
er, while Mozel Ellerbe, Tuskegee,
and Barney Ewell of Penn State,
among others, have done the GEN.
tury in 9.5. In the 220-yard dash,
the defending champion. Jeffrey,
has done 205 seconds, as against
the meet record of 204. George
koettel of Oklahoma also has done
20.5.
The meet record of 461 in the 440
set by Archie Williams of Cali
fornia in 1886 on a day in which
a stiff wind kept it from being rec
ognlzed as world nark-appar-
emily is safe. But Lee Orr of
Washington State won the Prince
ton invitational 440 last Saturday in
468 and he'll run against such stars
as Michigans Warren Breidenbach,
and Jim Herbert of New York U.
Borrowes Is $50 Threat.
The $50 record is l:5O3. while the
accepted world mark iss1:49.6. Last
Saturday Ed Borrowes of Prince
ton came within two-tenths of that
time and Campbell Kane of Indiana
finished close behind.
Louis Zamperini of Southern Cali
fornia set the meet mark of 4:O8.3
for the mile and he'll be back. In
the l20 high hurdles the great Fred
Wolcott of Rice has been con-
sistently under his meet record of
IA seconds and has equaled the
world mark of 1877 set by Forrest
Towns.
Wolcott already has broken the
world mark of 226 for the 900 low
hurdles, doing the event in 22.5 last
Saturday. The meet mark is 22.7.
Blozis in Two Events.
In the javelin the meet mark is
226 feet 234 inches, and Boyd Brown
OF Oregon has the best throw-one
Of more than 23l feet. The shot put
mark is SIS feet l0ss inches by Elmer
Hackney Of Kansas State. A wrist
injury will handicap him against
the tosses of big Al Blozis, George
town, the worlds indoor record
holder, and Stan Andersen of STAN
ford.
The high jump promises a real
battle. The meet record is feet
634 inches. while John Wilson of
Southern California has gone 6 feet
95s inches. Don Boydston, Okla
homa A. and M; Don Canham,
Michigan: Gill La Cava of Southern
California and Clark Mallery of
U. S. c. will be much in the running.
Archie Harris, Indiana, plus
Blozis and Andersen. may threaten
the 173-foot meet record in the
discus, while Jackie Robinson of
U. c. L. A, possibly the finest all
around athlete in the land, may
crack the broad jump mark of 26
feet 1as inches.

CHICAGO. June IA lot can
happen in six years. and usually
does, especially if you're a baseball
player.
It was Just six years ago that a
22-year-old fireballer, Schoolboy
Rove, was pitching the Detroit
Tigers to their first American League
pennant in 25 years. That was 1884
also the year pair Of Arkansas
farm boys, 23-year-old Diz Dean
end his brother. Paul, were putting
the st. Louis Cards in the World
Series.
Trio Won 73, Lost rs.
This spectacular trio won a total
of 73 games and lost only 26 that
year. Three years later, blighted by
sore arms and worried over their
diamond future. this same three
some could show only IA victories
as against 10 losses.
Now all three are on the long,
hard road known as the comeback
trail. All three, as we'll as dozens of
other ball players. will tell you few
attain success once they have hit
the skids.
But Rowe and Paul Dean have
shown signs this season of making
the grade all over again. What's
in store for Dir, no one knows,
especially since he dropped into the
minors only last week to give his
wing a thorough test as sidearm
pitcher.
Paul Dean. now 27, gave the first
hopeful sign that he isn't through
yesterday when he pitched 3-to-1
victory. allowing the Chicago Cubs
only four hits in his first start of
the season with the New York
Giants Manager Bill Terry picked
him up for the draft price last fall

S P Q R T S
Vote On Players Cut
In Series Is Called

DURHAM, Jan. 22.-R-W. G.
Bramham, minor league baseball
car, today ordered a mail vote to
determine whether the present bar
against players sharing in the re.
celpts Of so-called Shaugnessy an6
other -post-season playoffs should be
retained or abolished.
The regulation against giving play
ers a part of the gate applies to all
leagues of a lower than AA classifi
cation.
Bramham said a unanimous vote
OF all members Of the National Asso
citation of Professional Baseball
Leagues was required to change the
rule. Votes must be received, he
added, not later than February 4
and if no ballot is received from any
league that circuit will be recorded
as voting in the negative.
The proposal upon which the vote
was ordered was submitted by thu
Three-k league.
