Through no particular energy of their own. the New York (Hants wen forced to take the lead. The Pittsburgh Pirates obliged by dropping the Cincinnati Reds and the (Hunts sue tied to first place without playing a game . Like that veteran turfman who used to tell his Jockeys "(Jet out in from and stay there," John Medraw, the driver of the four time champions, may tell ids players “You're In there now, slay then 1 !” I'nless the dope goes wrong, the (Hunts will he in there or around there for the rest M the season. One week of actual competition isn't enough to prove anything hut there Is little about the National league champions that needs proof. While the Reds have lost llvst place in Hie National league it does not mean that the club has exploded. There Is too much pitching class on the club to go on the rocks so early in the pennant race. The rally of the Pittsburgh club made a tall ender out of a club that was picked one or two by nearly every critic in the | country. Bill McKechnie has not been getting the pitching he expected but Meadows showed yesterday that at least one member of the staff Is coming around. The Cleveland • Indians continue to he the surprise of the major leagues. Speaker seems to have found a new combination thtu cannot lose. The team is hitting and getting fine pitching and the Indians surely will he op there as long as It lasts.

Why Few College Ball Players Make (Jood By Henry L. Farrell. (United Press Sports Editor) New York, April 21. — (United Press.! — Considering the mental equipment that they should possess, the opportunity for a technical education from three to four years under an experienced teacher and the financial inducements for success, it is rather strange that so few of the college baseball players who hit the big leagues are able to remain there. The list of college players who have made good in the major leagues has been printed so many times thut it Should have been memorized long ago. The outstanding examples are Eddie Collins, manager of the Chicago White Sox, George Sisler, manager of the St. Louis Browns, and Frankie i Frisch, captain and star second baseman for the New York Giants There are others that might be mentioned, but the list of successes is dwarfed by the pages of those who tried and failed.

There must be a reason why so many college men cannot play baseball against players who have had no educational advantages — players almost of the Babe Ruth type, who came from an orphan asylum and became the most discussed star in the history of baseball. It ought to he reasonable that a young 'man with a college degree should be a smarter and better hall player—granting that he had some natural ability of course—than a lesser educated player of the old rough and ready days. Some major league scouts who spend their summers traveling from college to college will tell you that it is the possession of brains that handicaps a college player, that he tries to think too much and pays too much attention to “inside baseball.’’ Most of the college baseball teams are coached by former major league players. The case of Holy Cross, coached by Jack Barry, is a good example. There are more scouts checking in and out of Worcester during the baseball season to look over Barry’s boys than there are in any other college town of the country, especially since the baseball magnates began to realize that the college type of player was a good type for the game. Trester Explains Stand On National Net Tourney That Indiana has a real name as a basketball stale is shown by the fact that Harvey Woodruff, conductor. of the “Wake of the News” in the Chicago Tribune, recently was spurred by his contributors to write to A. L. Trester, I. H. S. A. A. Secretary, to ask why Kokomo, Frankfort or others of the Hoosiers are not permitted to participate in the national basketball tournament at the University of Chicago. Trester’s reply was characteristic to the effect that twenty games and- two

Arc Invading England London, England April 2J.»-(Unlt-j ed Press.) —Criminals of the worst class, thrown out of the United States, have entered England In large numbers und are a troublesome com plication to the crime <|uestlnn In Britain. Hunted out. of America, crooks of the most dangerous character, according to Scotland yard, now infest London. They are believed to be responsible for almost the whole of certain classes of crime that have been increasing lately especially pickpocketing, op prating of eon games, and hold-ups by motor-bandits — and English detectives find it difficult to capture or baffle them. When they are caught, they are deported if American citizenship is proved; otherwise tried and sentenced to British jails. The inroads of these Americans have added vastly to the difficulties of the London police. Until an American crook performed a “safe-blow-ing job,” the metropolitan authorities had never had a case of precisely similar nature to encounter. |Tlie same is also true of raids by motor bandits, which is considered here a peculiarly American form of

crime. New legislation affecting aliens may be the result of the situation. “ldlewood” Is Bad Name For A College Town University Heights Village, 0., Apr. 21. —(United Press. )4-This is a new town neat Cleveland—lnsofar as the map is concerned. But physically, this town has been here for some time. It was listed as ldlewood. Residents disliked the name ‘‘ldlewood.” For an upstanding, progressive (own. boasting a university, it had the wrong cognomen. Who would want to send their sons to ldlewood to college, they asked one another. So the other day Judge James B. Ruhl acted on a petition signed by most of Hie residents and changed the name to University Heights Village. John Carroll University and Notre Bailie Academy are located here.

"The Thundering Herd” is one of the few really great epic pictures of America in the making—a worthy successor to “The Covered Wagon" and "North of 3G.” Produced on the sam<i spectacular and gigantic scale, it deals with another tremendously important period if American history. It illustrates ihc courage and sacrifices of those men and women who, in 187 G, left their farms in Illinois and Indiana to settle in the far west, which today includes the states of Wyoming and Montana. The picture vividly creates the west as it was then-*-a vast wilderness ranged by great herds of buffalo and inhabited by fierce, nomadic Indians.
