The Ramblers, comprising principally, lads of 20 and 21 years, is under the management of Joehn t-'poerner. He's to confident of his team that he predicts victory for the Ramblers in the opening frame of the season with Hardwell's Colts tit Morris Park, April 23.

April 6 Fast as it nay happen to be In theso parts, tne University of Pennsylvania fourmile relay team win enter the international race ,at Queen's Club. London, as second choice In any wise money that is chanced on the result. This holds good for two reasons, to wit: No American distance runner is ever at his best under climatic conditions that prevail in England. He should be there many months before he attempts to race; the .Pennsylvania runners have been on the ground a matter of days. They will not be acclimated, or' anything reasonably near that stage of development when they go to the post two davs hence.

MACE ROBERTS SAYS HE'S GOING AFTER THEM NOW

He couldn't forget. That's why Mace Roberts is training like a Trojan. Ho couldn't forget tiiat memorable afternoon in mid-summer, 1920, when at the beginning of the second round of his scheduled ten round fight, he staggered weakly into the center of the ouen-alr arena at East Chicago and clung tenaciously to the supple form of his rival. lie couldn't forget the encouraging cheers of his friends out there in tlie hot sun and how they gradually changed to a jeering mob of diea,ppaointed backers as they watcher their idol slump to the ropes and r,it thero doggedly, dumbly aware that if he stepped within range of the swing of his opponent he'd be stretched on the rosin for the count. Thatis the picture he couldn't forget. And he couldn't forget what the mobbed yelled that afternoon and what they said afterward. "I wasn't In training. I shouldn't ever have entered that ring that afternoon. I chested myself. I chested my friends.- But I couldn't 'bring myself to fight, knowing that I'd be knocked out because I hadn't the stamina to last more than on round. And I wouldn't let that four-flusher third rate boxer get I Punch His Nose," Rockne Tells Athletes LAPORTE, April S. -A punch In the nse is the best way to answer 'professional sport promotors who offer college and high school athletes money to play for him, said Aathletic Pirector Knute K. Rockne of Notre Dame tnlversity in a talk to the Ely Club here last night. Heavy gambling on results of games will injure the standing of athletes if allowed to continue, Rockne said. "Spectators will accuse innocent players of being bought if they bare an off day in an important gam." ho said. Athletics are too fine to lose and an effort ihould bo made by those persons interested to keep them clean." PREFERS MAN HE KNOCKED OUT CHICAGO, April 6, Jack Demosey left here today en route to New Tork, where he will remain until he sails for Europe on Tuesday. Pempsey said he expected to fight in Europe but did not know if Hij opponent would be Joe Beckett or Georges Carpentler. He prefers Carpentier because ho believes the French champion will draw a larger gate. The champion reiterated nis willingness to fight Harry WUls, the Negro heavyweight and also declared he would take on Bill Tate, another dusky warrior, if proper Inducements were offered.

me for the count. That's why I sat on the ropes. But how could I explain ill that ? Roberts never tried to explain it In so many words before. Words don't count. Knock-outs will. lib's gathered four to his credit since then. "And I'm going to live down th.t E. C. affair. Vm going to prove to my hundreds of friends that I can come back. I'm coming back, too." That's what Roberts says. So he'e training. In his little gymnasium (which, by the way. will be considerable larger if he gets the location he's after) out there on Calumej. avenue Roberts is mixing the mits with a string of young pugs of .promise. Road work, too. Is part of the daily grind. He showed this writer what walking does. The morning hike to Hesnvitfe dally has developed his calves to such nniKCular proportions that they resem'ble . close-bound bunches of llexible steel. And steely they are. Oh, yes, Roberts Is training all right. . He's In good shape, too. His moit recent bout will come a week from Saturday. He's booked for an American Legion boxing pliow at Renselaaer.

it FAC" AND II S SENIORS TO CLASH Cme of the biggest events of the high school! year will occur when teams represanting the seniors and the faculty will clash in a basket ball game, at the Lafayette school on Friday night. Besides this, there will be preliminary between Junior and sophomore teams. These contests are being played under the auspices of the student council of the high school and have aroused keen interest among the students. Paul Smith, the captain of the seniors, has his team groomed t avenge all the failures passed on the school by the faculty. He sees nothing but a victory for his quintet. On the ether hand. Coach Kelsay, leader of the faculty demons. predicts a big surprise for the seniors. His one reservation Is that the faculty be allowed to take innumerable time-cuts and to make ferquent substitutions. These two requests have "been allowed and each , team Is rarin to go. The student council welcomes anyone and Herbert Bieker, the president says: "The more the merrier." So all concerned expect a capacity house at the first whistle. The first game starts at 7:15. 9

II. S. G. A. REVIVES STYMIE; STE

SHAFTS BARRED

The stymie remains barred by the Western Golf association, composed of somu 300 clubs, according to President Albert R. Gates, who said lac night that while ho personally had no objection to the stymie, general sentiment uppoved it. Steel shafted club has been allowed in play by the western, but I'resldent Gates gaid thu; his assoclattion miht follow the lead of the V. S. (1. A. In charging a nominal admission to tournaments. NEW YORK, April 6. Restoratl6n of the stymie, banning of steel shaft clubs front" tournament play, and decision to charge admissions to all championship tournaments, were among decisions announce yesterday by tin; executive committee of the United States Golf association. In restoring the stymie, the committee mak;s the American game In this respect uniform with the Royal and Ancient play of Great Britain. The stymie was abolished In January, 1921. Explaining its decision the committee says the stymie "belongs in golf" becauxe "it represents the most u-.-ientific phase of the game." RILE OX STYMIE The new stymie rule that will prevail reads: A player la laid a stymie if on the putting groen the opponet's ball lies in the' line of his putt to the hole, provided the balls be not within six inches of each other. The discarded rul read: When either ball is on the putting srreen, the player may remove the opponent's ball; the opponent then sh.tll be deemed to have holed in his next stroke. In preventing the use of steel Shaft clubs, the committee feels that it has nipped in the bud an instrument that the best friends of golf thought would be injurious to proiicieney in play.

"Tackle Is .finding a ready sale You'd be surprised at the amount of flsblng equipment we're selling at this early Mage of the season. "But the same gee for baseball. It'll b a big pall season for Hammond. Especially among thi lads. They are turning out strong. What with the decrease In athletic equipment prices and removal of the 10 per cent war tax the boys are locking to a happy season on the, sandlota" "By the way. Millet, what dees it cost to equip a so-called 'kid' team with suits, baseballs, glove and all the necessities?" "Well.' replies Millet. "1 can outfit a 'kid' team for as low as 350, including everything. And It'll be a good out-fit.too. It'll last more than one season." That ought to encourage the beys. Sunday school teams, scout troop teams, athletic club teams and a raft of other and-lot organizations will get comfort from that low figure. Ten enterprising boys can soon round up S50. And the future baseball star rises from the tuat of the sand-lots. 23 c 87c 75c 38c 38c 38 C 29c 29c 43 c 27c 96c 94c 94c 49c with each $3.00
