Von Tress Resigns As Alumni Secretary Os I. U. I Bloomington, Ind., June 9 I United Press) —Edward C. Von Tress. Jr., alumni secretary of Indiana University for the past two years, has resigned to go into the real estate business in Florida.

June 9 —(United Press) —New York and Philadelphia, moving easily in the second intersectional skirmishes of the season, are still holding first place and a comfortable advantage in the major pennant races. The performance of the Giants in holding a 4*4 game lead in the National league >ith a team that has been almost wrecked by injuries, has been the big feature of the season. At no time has the full strength of the four-time champions been available for any protracted period. The reserve strength of the team became so exhausted that Pep Young, the star outfielder, had to be used at second base in several games but the Giants went on winning. This performance strengtl,ens, ttte opinion that the Giants are in with another pennant. The Brooklyn Robins and the Pittsburgh Pirates are in good stride now ami they will furnish what opposition McGraw's team may expect, but there are no grounds to believe that they will scare the champions when Lindstrom and Kelly and the other disabled regulars get back in the game. The Athletics are also showing I class in fighting off the Senators with a team that has been crippled with heavy losses. Many cities thought the Athletics would take a fop when Sammy Gray, one of the aces of the pitching staff, broke his hand, but the spirit of the team has kept on going. . American league players believe that .the Athletics are up around the top for the season, but many of them believe that they will not be able to outlast the fine team that Bucky Harris has. The Jkew York Yankees are get-' ting back into something like their old form since Miller Huggins heard; (he call of youth and benched four of his veterans. The Yankees improved when Babe Ruth returned to the game and they will get better as the Babe gets stronger. Ruth may not be able to, play his real, crashing game for weeks, however, as he is still weak. The Detroit Tigers, figured as a sure contender, are still trying to get started but the team lacks the balance of a pennant winner. The players seem to be brooding and there is not enough real spirit on the clttb to overcome its several weakness o Indiana Beats Purdue Again; Leads Big Ten Bloomington, June 9—By defeating Purdue University in a wetsern conference baseball game here Monday afternoon 8 to «. Indiana University gained undisputed possession of the conference lead. The game was Indiana’s last of the season and'brought their standing for the year to nine won and two lost.
