WALSH. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 27.—The moot question of whether the shank of an Englishman can outstep that of a Yank will be determined this afternoon. The occasion will be the annual relay games of the University of Pennsylvania on Franklin field, where the two-mile international run and the spring medley relay, representing Oxford University, Eng land, versus the field of American colleges, will come down to a definite decision just as it did in 1914 and again in 1920. In those years, it was a chest that broke the tape, but, according to the best local rules, this cannot happen again. The good word is that Oxford will be lucky to finish third among Syracuse, Georgetown, Kansas, Ohio State, Pennsylvania, and others in the sprint medley and that C. B. Morgan, the Oxford distance, hasn't the chance of a steam roller in the two-mile run. Morgan, they say, is a perfectly good cross country man but lacks the speed to step two miles with Halier Higgins of Columbia; Helm, of Georgetown; McLane, of Pennsylvania; Bonsall, of Cornell; Douglass, of Yale, and Booth, of Johns Hopkins. Oxford, of course, will be dangerous in the sprint medley. Any team that can muster a man like Bill Stevenson, ex-Princetonian, to run a quarter in 49 seconds or less and Milligan to skip over the half mile distance as fast as 1.56 is THE BEST THING YOU EVER STEPPED INTO! A semi-brogue, expressive of the latest Spring fashions, made of solid leather throughout, equipped with best grade rubber heels. A footwear value that keen men will be quick to appreciate. Regent Boot Shop 943 Penn. Ave. WASHINGTON TIMES SPORTS Bound to command respect, even though Renwick and Miller, their teammates, be victims of club. However, the odds favor Georgetown and Syracuse. Other events of more or less importance are: Importance are on the first of a two-day program. Perhaps the most noteworthy is the Pentathlon championship in which Taylor, of the Navy, Norton of Kansas, and Elkins, Os Haskell, are expected to stage a triangular battle for the honors. Taylor is Walter Camp’s all-American choice for end on his 1922 football team. Norton, the Western conference champion, and Elkins, a full-blooded Indian, who is said to be the kitten's cuffs, or some such. Other likely entries are Tom Lieb, of Notre Dame; Plansky, of Georgetown, and Kipp, another Haskell Indian. The possibility of new records in the 440-yard hurdles and the hammer throw is imminent. In the former Gns Desch, of Notre Dame, holder of the world’s record for the distance, will start against a fast field. Taylor of Princeton and Hile of Penn State, if given any kind of competitive encouragement, may rush through the tape to another record. On the hammer throw, Too tell of Bowdoin battered 181 feet in practice yesterday, and if he can repeat will better the record by many feet today. The University of Kansas, which ran within 1-5 of a second of the world record in the 880-yard relay last week, is the popular favorite at that event today, but through misfortune may not be denied its chance. As the team was working out yesterday, Eirebaugh, one of its first string men, was informed of the serious illness of his mother at St. John, Kans., and may decide against waiting over for the race. Norton, the all-around man, will be named as substitute if Eirebaugh decides to start West to his. Mother's bedside immediately. Weather conditions were ideal for record-breaking, a warm sun being tempered by the tang of a late spring day. TIGERS ENGAGE I CORNELL ON NEWFIELD ITHACA, N. Y., April 27.—For the first time in a number of years a Princeton baseball team will come to Ithaca Saturday to meet—the Cornell nine on the new field. The Tigers, by their fine showing so far, have demonstrated that they have one of the best college teams in the East, and the Cornell varsity will be hard put to it to meet them on even terms. Although the Cornell team made a disappointing showing in the opening game with Columbia, local fans, are confident that the Red and White pitching ace, Walter Rollo, will be in form in time for Saturday’s game. Rollo had an off day against Columbia and the team therefore got away to a position as a pitcher. The showing of several other pitchers, notably Knipe and Fred crick, is encouraging, and it may be that if Rollo is not up to snuff Saturday, Coach Carney will find it desirable to use one of them. If the Cornellians get good pitchers, they believe that they will give Princeton a genuine battle for honors. Milan in Line-up.

NICE, France, April 27.—American women play tennis for pleasure; French and English women adopt tennis as a business. That’s the outstanding impression gained by following the winter tennis season on the French Riviera, a season in which women played a much larger part and drew threefold more attention than the men players. American players came and went, entering one or two tournaments, playing through until defeated, enjoying themselves, and then were gone. Not so with a little group of French and English players, who dominated every tournament from the season’s opening last December to the close this month. Every Monday morning found the same group—wives and daughters of tennis professionals and tennis club officials and women who never do anything but play tennis—entering each new tournament that opened. Nowhere did the different attitudes of American and foreign women to the game show more plainly than in their respective styles of play on the courts. The foreigners played careful, accurate games, waiting for the faults of their opponents. American women, on the other hand, played slam bang games, taking chances, trying to win on their own merits rather than their opponents’ demerits. The foreign school was perfect represented by Mlle. Suzanne Len Glenden, the remarkable world champion; the American school by Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, the American champion. True, Mrs. Mallory was off form during most of her Stay on the Riviera and the only time she met Mile. Lenglen resorted to the French ‘champion’s own game, at which she was easily mastered. But in her other matches, in which not so much was at stake, Mrs. Mallory used the American style and even though frequently beaten was a more interesting player to watch than any other woman player on the Riviera. “Kitty” McKane, England’s ranking player, also used the foreign style of play exclusively, as did Mrs. Satterthwaite and Mrs. Beamish, veteran English stars, and Elizabeth Ryan, the former California girl. Miss Ryan still showed traces of the American style, but has lived so long in England and played in so many English and Continental tournaments that she has few American characteristics left. The foreign players cannot be accused of being professionals, but they learned with consideration after Mrs. Mallory arrived on the Riviera that the American champion had politely refused to accept the many favors which hotel managers and others tried to force upon her. TAGGING ALL THE BASES The esteemed Kenesaw M. Landis was one of 25,000 fans who saw the Giants trim the Boston Braves, 7 to 3, in the first home game on the Polo Grounds. Coming to life, the Brooklyn Dodgers ran wild and defeated the Phillies, 14 to 4. Osborne, of the Cubs, was knocked out of the box by the Pirates, Pittsburgh winning easily, 7 to 2. A record crowd for Detroit — 36,000 — saw the St. Louis Browns nose out the Tigers in the ninth. Score, 4 to 3. Pat Moran’s Reds fell before the Cards, 8 to 4, in a loosely played game. The Red Sox defeated the Yankees in a hectic finish, 5 Stanley Coveleskie pitched invincible ball, and the White Sox, with the great Faber in the box, lost 3 to 0. ATTA BABY, ZACH! PHILADELPHIA.

April 27. — American League folks looked over the homemakers figures after five big league combats had been staged in each circuit and then began to ask: “Are the National League batsmen passing ours in long-distance hitting, are the National League pitchers easier to “belt for circuit smashes — or are they using a solid rubber ball in the Heydler circuit?” There’s a reason for the mystification which has come over the fact that the National League compiled thirty-nine home runs in the first five games of the year, against fifteen for the American League. If this terrific stick work were maintained through the year, the Nationals would turn in something like 1,200 home runs, against less than 500 for the American League—a disparity which would be bewildering. In 1922, the majors banged out a total of 1,054 home runs. Of this number, the Nationals amassed 529 and the American Leaguers 525. All of which shows that the rival outfits ran a neck and neck race for the slugging supremacy. Inasmuch as the Nationals so far have hit out more than twice, many home runs as have the American Leaguers, the adherents of the latter organization feel that there is something wrong somewhere and they have the suspicion that the National League ball has been made infinitely livelier than it ever was before. Teams Are Weaker. American Association teams are weakers this year than they have been for some years, according to veteran writers in that circuit. Satisfying the critical with style, workmanship, and manner of doing, Street N.W. JAILORS AHEAD COSTLY PLAYER SLAMS SINGLE IN LAST FRAME Sammy Hale, alleged to have cost Connie Mack $75,000 in players and cash, was exhibited to Washington fans yesterday as a batsman hitting for Hauser in the final frame. Hauser is a southpaw swatter and so, seeing that Zach was sailing along nicely against left-handers, Connie called on Hale, a right-hand hitter. Hale made up his mind quickly and, slamming one of Zach's fast. ones, poled it into right field for a clean single. He was wasted. UfWONDER 25 Seasons Eliminating Middlemen’s Profits!
