Campus Sport Comment
BY KNUTE ROCKNE I OFFICIATED the relays at Austin and Dallas. Tex., where Claude Bracev on one day ran ' J yards in 9 5-10 seconds and the next day in 9 4-10 seconds. Both races were run with the wind. This fast time no doubt will revive the age old debate as to whether or not any human will ever run the 100 in 9 seconds. Personally, I doubt it very much. Bracey ran a legitimate 9 6-10 re-
gardless of what any one may say. The conditions were ideal, just sunny and warm enough to put a man at his best. The track was lightening fast. Scoffers from every section of the country may ask “Well, how about the timers?” From
...vfv ' * J \ J|' t
Hockne
mv observation the timers appeared very competent and were as much surprised at the fast time shown by Bracey as the spectators. On both occasions Bracey beat Simpson, the best sprinter in the Big Ten and as good as the best in the East, by over three yeards. In the four-mile relay, which was won by Illinois in 17:40, a world's collegiate record, the eight timers did not vary more than a fifth of a second, which I think is unusual. Chicago won the mile relay in 3:18 2-10. and again the eight timers varied just one-fifth of a second. Bracey. last June won the 100 and 220 in the national collegiate meet, which is open to any college sprinter in America. The way he ran last week he looks better than ever. His performance was legitimate, above suspicion in every way, and it is my guess that the only Ameri--1 can college sprinter who looks good enough to have any chance of beati ing him is Borah of Southern California. It is too bad the two will not meet. iCopyright. 1923. bv The Times.)

were on hand for the cold weather fracas of Friday, but the few present witnessed a real struggle, as the big leaguers made desperate efforts to stave off defeat by a “double A’’ club. Pete Monahan. Tribe first sacker, was the hero by slamming a home run in the ninth that tied the score at four and four. It was a soaring sock over the small section of low fence near the scoreboard in right field.
Fete Leads Hitters Pete also produced two singles and was the day's leading swatter. And he played his usual strong game around the first sack with the exception of one time when he went
“hay wire” on a high fiv that the stiff breeze grabbed. Manager Blackburne of Chicago used the lineup he expects to start in the American League opener and was feeling rather blue when his team got nosed out. Fe r and Scliu p p pitched seven rounds for the A. A. champs and dazzled the visitors to the extent that

good support would have given the veteran lefty a seven-inning shutout. He held the Sox to six hits, some being lucky blows that fell safe in the sun and wind. Byron Spcece hurled the last three innings and touched for only two hits and no runs. Thomas, Weiland and Dugan operated on the Sox mound. The hits were eight apiece.

Warstler walked after one Indian was down in the extra round. Jffatty sent him to third with a single and the Sox handed Layne an intentional pass to fill the sacks.

He brings with him the combined hope of France that he will have a repitition oi the successful invasion Jules Goux began in 1913, when, as the first foreign driver ever to appear here, he won the 500-mile race and began a series of foreign victories which were unbroken until 1919 when the late Howdy Wilcox, ’n Indiana product, stemmed the foreign tides. After Goux in 'l3, came Rene Thomas, another French ace in 'l4, Ralph Dc Palma in 15, Dario Rcsta in 16. and in 'l9 Wilcox when the speed dueling was resumed alter a two-year lapse because of the war.

Babe Ruth Says: •A Ball Player Shouldn't Rank as a Curiosity.'
NEW YORK, April 13.—1 always get a big kick out of an exhibition tour, and the people who flock to the stations and the hotels to c .V tall players. I suppose I always will The thing that gives me the greatest kick is that th.- y . p.r seem to be expecting something unusual and d;;-
ferent. and they always look a little disappointed because the fellows win get off the train aren't any different from other people. The other da in Houston. Tex.. I got a big laugh. We got in there about 9 o'clock in the morning and •-ere were a lo ot fans down at the station. One of them spotted me and yelled ' Hel',< Babe." I waved at him and then he asked me to pmt out E. : Combs
“He's my idea of a ball player.'' the fan explained. T pointed Earle out and tiie man took one look. Then his face fell. "Aw gee whiz.” he said. "He don't look like a ball player. Why lie looks just like a bank cle.k.” Perhaps A Sign? T suppose Earle lost a fine supporter right there, just because he wasn't wearing some trick vest or a sign saying he was a ball player or something of that sort. Personally, I don't know what ihe fans expect ball players to do or how they expect them to act. Even the railroad people are that way. too. Making a jump a few days age Waite Hoyt got to talking to one o; the. Pullman conductors. “You know you fellows surprise m*- ” he said. "Why if I didn't know this was a ball club I'd think it was a lot of business men going somewhere for a meeting. I've carried Rotary clubs that made a lot more noise and a lot more trouble than you fellows.” I get a lot of letters each year, too, asking me what ball players do off the ball field; how they behave; what they eat; how they amuse themselves, and a thousand other things like that. The answer to that is easy. They do the same things that other people do, dress the same way, eat the same food and have just as many troubles and worries. It Isn't a Circus! A ball club isn’t a circus. The ball players have wives and families; they have friends, too. They sleep and eat and play and work just as other people. Os course you find a lot of different types of men on a ball club. They come from all over tiie country, and from all types of places. Some of them come off the sand lots. Some of them come from the college campus. Some of them live all their lives in cities. Others have never been in a big town until they come up to the major leagues. But then that's true of other professions as well. Which perhaps is the best answer I can give to some of the fans who write me letters wanting to know what ball players are like off the diamond.
