Bu United Press CHICAGO, June 6.—The greatest of the country’s track and field athletes were ready today for competition in the ninth annual national collegiate games, which promise the stiflest individual battling of all time and some new records. As the competitors went into action in the preliminaries, the dashes as usual took most of the play. Always a thriller, the dash events this year will bring into action the greatest of the country’s sprinters. George Simpson, the Ohio State marvel, is favored to win both the 100 and 220-yard dashes, but he will be facing the hardest competition he ever has raced against.

A well balanced team from Illinois was the hope of the middlewest. In today’s preliminaries the athletes were scheduled to qualify in all field events, the dashes, quarter and half-mile and the hurdles. Finals are scheduled Saturday in all events. Riverside Fight Show Tonight Approximately 1,000 fight fans were disappointed Thursday when rain necessitated the postponement of the boxing card at Riverside. The same card, headed by eightround scraps between Sergt. Craig of Ft. Harrison and Matt Burman of Indianapolis, heavyweights, and Scotty Scot ten and Kid Woods, local featherweights, will be staged tonight.

CHICAGO, June 8. IT begins to look as if I was all wrong on my guess about the Brooklyn Dodgers. I picked them for seventh place, you may remember, and here they are right up there fighting for the lead and playing bangup baseball day after day. And personally I hope they stay up there. There's no

Babe Ruth Says

man In baseball I’d rather see on top than Uncle Robbie and there’s no man In the game whose victory would be more popular either. At that, I still can’t see how the Robins do it.

AC ccac, X SCIIX call l. ... , . They've got punch, true enough, and they have been getting good pitching for the most part, but I figured, in doping them, that poor defensive play would take a lot away from them The start they ve got now will make them a tough club to beat all season, and it just goes to show what a good early start does for a club. It gives them confidence and pepper 1 We’ve got a similar case right in our own league in the Washington Senators. No one figured Washington would be a contender. Even Walter Johnson himself doped them lor the top of the second division. But they got away to a good start, got a lot of confidence in their own ability, and now they’re battling in second place. I’ve got a hunch they’ll keep right on going well all through the season.

I’ve been through a lot of seasons but I don’t believe I ever remember one where the breaks have played so much a part as they have this year. Some of the boys were checking up on the lfst of injuries and the illnesses that have hurt clubs this season, and the list was surprising. Take the Cubs, for instance. Hornsby out with a broken ankle; Bush out with illness; Bell laid up by a training camp injury, and now the death of Hal Carlson, to top it all off. The Giants have been hurt by an epidemic of mumps, the A’s have been handicapped by sickness and injuries; the Yankees have had a string of charley-horses one after the other. However, that’s the sort of thing that goes to make baseball and keep up baseball interest. If all the clubs played on the field the way they dope out on paper you could award the pennant in April and let the boys pitch hay instead of playing out the season. The next two weeks ought to give us a pretty fair line of just what to expect in the way of pennant contenders. Once each of the clubs has made 1 the complete round of the circuit you can size up the race pretty well. A lot of teams you know, who look mighty good playing in the home neighborhood, can’t get going on the road, and in a pennant race the team that can do; best on the road, is the team that grabs the bunting. ! One thing you can bet on right now. That race is going to be plenty tight in both leagues. There’ll be no
