IN THE WORLD OF SPORT

Ramsdell, Who Is Showing His Heels to Englishmen.

Tex Ramsdeil, the crack sprinter of the University of Pennsylvania, who has been iu England for the past month, is demonstrating that he is of the speediest men in the world today. In a recent race against several English cracks Ramsdeil won in hollow fashion. This is his second time abroad Last year he won nearly every race in which be started on the other side of the big pond. Ramsdeil intends to remain abroad until September. Work of College Players Watched. College players by the score are joining the major league teams, and it will be interesting to note what a small percentage of them will be able to hold their own. Last year there was also a big crop which came up from the colleges, but only here and there have they been able to hold their positions. The difference between college and major league ball is even greater than the step from the high grade minor leagues to fast company. This Is particularly noticeable in the college pitchers, who establish great records at school and then fail .when they become professionals. This is because the college teams do not hit and consequently do not wait out a pitcher. It is different when they come into fast company, where the ball must be put over for nearly every man that faces them. This results in letting up and aiming, and when a pitcher does that notiling can save him.

Hera’s a Great Strikeow# Record. In the act of discussing strikeout records, Jjere is one worth looking over. In a battle at Shippan, Conn., recently King’s school played Stamford. The contest ran to twelve innings, during which time Earl Sarcka of King’s school fanned trwenty-nine men, while Daniels, the rival slabman, totaled twenty strikeonts, thereby running the total up to forty-nine strikeouts for the game. , ■'»-,* While Sarcka whiffed twenty-nine of his rivals, holding them to six hits, he ■was beaten 3to 2. When an athlete can strike out twenty-nine of the thir-ty-six batsmen who face him in a twelve round game he must be somewhere close along. Forty-nine for the been approached.

rpHE country! Tbo country, 1 Vast, free, un “alined. Away from the city, Its greed and its grind! Bo charming the landscape, So balmy the air. Except for the sinner Who spent his youth then! One who has known only A citified flat. Has lived all his lifetime In places like that. Is sure and for certain He'd take to the soil As bees take to honey Or lamp wicks to oil. But one who was nurtured And born to the sod. The years of whose boyhood Were close to the clod, * He blesses his fortune And doesn't go back. Though trains may be running That stay on the track. It sticks in his memory And also his craw. Those five o'clock breakfasts The sun never saw. Let innocence venture Its fortune to shape At amateur fanning; * He's made his escape.
