SPORT 1S IN BG NECESSARY PEOPLE RIWCREATION TO WELL-BEING OF Colleges Showing Way----Amateur and Professional Amusements in Open Air Attract Large Crowds, The great demand for outdoor sport was again exemplified last Sat- urday when, it is estimated, more than one million persons attended sporting events in the various cities throughout the United States, The Harkness Cup handicap at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway, won by Ralph De Palma, who drove his mo- tor car 100 miles in 568 minutes and 21 seconds, attracted 50,000 specta- tors, according to the promoters of the big automobile race. Racing at Belmont Park, N.Y., and Douglas Park, Louisville, drew a total of 40,- 000 persons, about equally divided. Major and minor league baseball games were liberally patronized. The National League battles attracted 20,000 to the Polo Grounds, 10,000 to the Phillies Park, and 7,600 each to Ebbets Field and the home of the Boston Braves. In the American League the Kilties played to more than 10,000 fans at White Sox Park, the Athletics drew 15,000 in St. Louis, while the Red Sox in Detroit and the Washingtons in Cleveland each received payment]. for 10,000 admissions--the total ma~ jor league attendance, therefore, be- ing slightly under the 100,000 mark, Games played by the leading min- ors--the New League, American As- sociation, Pacific Coast League, and the Southern Association---recorded abouy 65,000 in trunstile figures, The college baseball arena also was active, with 10,000 fans watching Yale defeat Harvard at New Haven and half a dozen other fairly impert- tant contests on eastern college dia- monds attracting at least A 20,000 more, Perhaps 10,000 Harvard and Yale men saw the Crimson Varsity crew outrow Old EH over a two-mile course on the Housatonic River, at Derby, Conn. The intercollegiate track and field championships at Philadelphia, won by Cornell, were seen by nearly 10,000 spectators. "Kid" Williams defeated George Chaney in an open air boxing bout at Baltimore in the presence of 15,- 000 fans. There is no way to compute the Fattendance at other professional and amateur ball games, track meets, rowing regattas, golf and tennis matches throughout the United States, but it is believed that the figures greatly excelled those speci- filed above. Briefly, the American public still favors sport as a neces- sary recreation, . APPROVE OF THE TOUR. Australian Authorities Give Cone sent to Lady Swimmers, According to a cablegram received at the national headquarters of the Amateur Athletic Union, New York, the Misses Durack and Wylie, who have arrived from Australia at San Francisco, are eligible to qompete in this country. The cablegram, signed by W. W. Hill, of the Amateur Swim- ming Union of Austria, reads as fol- lows: "Tour approved. Girls carry cre- dentials," This was In answer which stated that the Australian Un- fon must approve of the tour-in ac- cordance with its affiliation with the A.A.U. and the International Swim- ming Federation before the swim- fers would be permitted to compete in the United States. Earlier cables from the New South Wales Ladies' Swimming Association, a minor or- ganization, indicated that the tous of the Misses Durack and Wylie was unsanctioned, TRIPLE PLAYS RARE. Miller Huggins Has Seen Only Two in Fifteen Years. n An idea of the rarity of the triple play in baseball may be gained from the experience of Miller Huggins. It was about twenty years ago that Huggins began his baseball career and this is his fifteenth Season in the major leagues. After the Yan- 'kees reeled off a triple play a few days ago in a game against the White Sox, Huggins remarked that it was the second such play he had seen since he put on his first base- ball uniform. The other occurred when he was a member of the Cin- cinnati Reds and Hulgizins played a hand in this performance. When it Is recalled that Huggins has been Player or manager in close to 2,500 major games, it becomes evident that the iriple play is Indeed a rarity. soldier to get sport in all eircam- stances is exemplified by a com- munication which has just reached us from East Africa.

Connie Mack lost a player who was destined 'to be- come one of the great stars of base- ball in a legitimate way last week. He is OQutfielder Merlin Kopp, whe quit the team Friday night by orders of the draft board at Toledo, O., who ordered him to a cantonment. Kopp played wondérful ball for the Athletics, It batting, fielding, base running and throwing he was high grade, Shertly before being called to the colors, he won a game by mak- ing a clean steal of home.

The Leafs have made a claim for the play, the necessary evidence in the matter hav- ing been forwarded to the National Commission, When the Boston Nationals bought Hearne from the Toronto club they agreed to pay the sum of $1,500 for him. The first payment, one of $1.- 000, was to have been made on the 1st of March, and the remainder on the 1st of May. Neither payment has been made. Yesterday the Boston management learned of the action the Leafs had taken, and endeavored to settle the whole matter by for. warding the long overdue payments, The Toronto club declined to take the case out of the hands of the Na- tional Commission. As one of the clauses of the agreement to purchase Hearne was that the payments would be made or the player returned to Toronto, it is altogether likely that the big left-hander will be ordered to rejoin the Leafs. President McCaf- frey said last night that he would rather have the - player than the money at this juncture, There is another matter between the Braves and the Leafs that will not help the Boston case. Outfielder Bailey was sold to the Leafs on a $500 optional agreement on the rep- resentation that the player was in good physical condition. As a matter of fact Bailey hurt his leg while with the Boston club, and reported to To- ronto a criple. His usefulness here was very much minimized thereby, and he was returned to the Braves. Stallings thereupon disclaimed any title to ¢he player, and maintained that he is the property of the Toronto club, endeavoring to collect the $500 stipulated in the optional agree- ment. This matter has also been turned over to the Commission for its decision, Manager Arthur Irwin of the Roe- IRGINIA ELE I \'% p LEER "The Cardinals have landed a new pitcher named Stanley Reese, of the University of Virginia.
