return for Its first ring Is the blink of one
eyelid. When it sounds the second time, flvo
minutes later, ho crawls out of tho "hay,"
dresses, breakfasts nnd dashes down to
Logan Hall In time for an 8:30 clnsx. Ho
listens to lectures nnd recites until 12:30
p. m. Then a sprint for tho training house
and lunch.
Lunch over, Howard Jumps into n track
suit and throws the Jaelln for about a half
hour and then hurries to tho showers to
make a 1:45 class. Back to Franklin Field
after class, and at 2:40 he's out on the
field tossing the discus In high arcs. After
throwing the discu3 around for several min
utes ho goes over to tho Jumping pit and
practices his take-off and leap, after which
he reports to Coach Lawson Robertson
and learns the distance which ho Is re
quired to run that particular day. He
warms up and takes his sprint.
Baseball for Two Hours
At 4 o'clock ho Is in baseball uniform
and prancing around shortstop on the var
sity team. He Is detained on the diamond
until close to 6. After dinner at the train
ing house he hurries off to somo fraternity,
scholastic or athletic meeting and 9 o'clock
usually finds him In the library boring
over some assignments for the next day.
Being that the library closes at 10 o'clock.
Howard goes to his room nt that time
and continues his studies until 11 or pos
sibly 11:30. Then he turns In nnd takes
the sleep of the deserving.
Berry, tho untiring, Is tho man you'll
see defending his pentathlon championship
tomorrow If you wander nut to Franklin
Field and deposit the price of admission
at the box office. Also he Is tho jamp chap
who will run on the ono and two mile
teams for Pcnn on Saturday. Hero's luck,
Howard!

CHEWING GUM PUTS
fflLDUFFONGIANTS
Pete Gets Chance to Make
Good When Herzog Kicks
at Cud and Hurts Back
TODAY'S GAME POSTPONED
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
Up to yesterday morning l'cto Klldurf,
the latest scnsatlqn sprung by tho (Hants,
bad no more Job than a rabbit. He was
listed as "among those present," and had tho
same social standing as the other Miction
But when Charley Herzog tried to kick that
piece of green out of the way and hurt his
back Kllduft was cased into the limelight
and Muggsy McGrnw decided to purchase
him from the Omaha club In the Western
League. Thus wo llnd a perron who gained
famo because carelesji gum-chewers luul
their cuds In the public highway.
Peto was more or less of an experiment
He was discovered by sinister Dick Kin
Bella last year and, after the Yankees turned
down tin- prospect. Mcflraw was given a
chance Muggsy seldom passes up a chance,
but hesitated n long time In the KUduff
case, because Omaha didn't nek a million
dollars for his nervlces. McOraw. you know,
has a habit of outbidding ecrybody else and
INSISTS on spending hugo gobs of coin for
his players.
Muggsy Falls
Anyway, Klnsclla put across the sob
stuff and Muggsy fell llko a ton of brick.
Ho reluctantly consented to glvo Puny Pete
a trial, but what ehanco would he havo
with Herzog and Fletcher In the gamo? But
the kid was shipped South w here ho showed
flashes of form In spots, bV did nothing
that could attract unduo attention. The
Omaha club seemed too anxious to get rid
of him and allowed him to go under an
optional agreement. Tho Giants were to
uso him until lato In April and If t)i didn't
mnko good, ho was to be shipped back to
the bushes and not ono cent would be
charged for his services. But If he hap
pened to como through. McOraw could blip
tho club a small parcel of legal tender and
every ono would bo satisfied
Kllduft Is the cheapest player tho Olants
havo purchased In many a day, and his
debut Is what tho picture writers would call
Impressive He played a wonderful game
against the Phils nnd exposed the earmarks
of a future great His fielding was good, but
tho biggest hit was made when he operated
at the plate. He grabbed off n single In the
third inning, but any ono Is likely to do
that In tho game. In the eighth, however,
when ho slammed that homer Into the center
field bleachers the wise guy3 sat up and took
notice.
Crossed the Great
Alex was shooting 'em through and de
cided to send the rookie to tho bench. Two
hits had been made, and Big Pete thought
It time to call a halt.
A strike went over and the next was a
fast one with a hook attached to tho end.
This did not bother Pete. Ho stepped Into
that curve ball and busted It out of tho
lot. Now. any kid Just breaking In, who
deliberately steps Into one of Alex's
twisters, is a guy who will bear watching.
Xo wonder McGraw Is pleased this morn
ing. He will uso Kllduft a whole. lot this
year nnd tho club Is strengthened consider
ably through tho acquisition ot a utility In
llclder. Passed Up by Scouts
Kllduft played with Omaha last year and.
although he had bosn looked oor by
numerous scouts, ho didn't look good
enough to enter tho big show. Kcry one
admitted ho was a swell fielder, but his
hitting wns on the blink. In mlds-eason ho
wasn'.t hitting his weight, nnd it looked ns
If he would remain in tho sticks for tho
rest of his days. Ho took n hrnco In the
last month, however, and finished tho sea
son with a swatting nvcrago of .290. Kven
this made no Impression, as theie weio
forty other players who hit .300 or better
In tho league.
Sinister Dick Klnsella entered tho picture)
ono day last summer and ho foil for Kllduft
from tho start Sinister Dick wasn't a teg
ular scout that Is, ho didn't havo a Job
with a big leaguo club. He was traveling
on business nnd did his ivory hunting on
the 'side. Ho immediately got Into com
munication with Captain Tilllnghast Hus
ton, of tho Yankees.
"Gotta swell second baseman," wired
Dick. "Better grab him."
"Nothing doing, and llkewlso nix!"
slanglly retorted tho wcll-l.nown captain.
"Don't try to work off any Imshers on tho
old Cap."
Muggsy Takes Chance
Thereupon Richard gumshoed IiIh way
to McGraw and told (its story. Muggsy fell
nnd Klnsella has been slipping Huston tho
laugh ever since.
Tho Yankees certainty mimed a good
ehanco to get a second sacker, the club Im
woak In that position nnd Peto would havo
fitted In nicely.
Tho rainstorm which called off today's
gamo gavo Charley Herzog another day's
rest. Charley's back Is much better this
morning, but It Is doubtful If he will get
Into tho gamo ngaln for nt least ten days.
His back Is badly wrenched and while It Is
not yet known whether the splno has been
Injured, If his recovery Is not rapid enough
tho X ray will be used tomorrow. Herzog
was up and walked around tho hotel this
morning.
Phils in Last Place
Pat Morrfrt gavo his players a heart-to-heart
talk In tho clubhouso while the rain
pattered on tho roof and somo harsh words
were spoken. Pat was not nt all satisfied
with yesterday's gamo and the tlmo has
come for the players to wako up and do
something. The boss of the Phils docs not
relish his position In last place and wants
to get out of It as soon as posvlble.

ONE CREW HAS ADVANTAGE IN RACE
OVER THE HENLEY ON SCHUYLKILL
Angle at Start and Finish Has Mental Effect on
Men in Boat Behind Otherwise Local
Course Is Advantageous
TItn historic Schuylkill Ttlvcr course,
with Its rowing traditions which In
clude thoso of tho great Centennial Regatta
and ot man unlvorMty races and na
tional championships is In dancer of Bet
ting n severe jolt If something Is not dona In
tho near future to eliminate tho diagonal
starting and finishing lines of tho Henley
distance section of It.
With tho starting lino on tho angle, which
It has now. Instead of helng straight across
the river, as It should be. one crew has a
decided udvantagc over the others nt the
start. While It Is true that tho eastern and
western courses aro of exactly tho same
length, still tho mental effect on both the
men who aro starting ahead and thoso who
are commencing the jouiney behind Is tre
mendous. In boat racing, mote than in any other
sport, does tho psychological effect ot being
behind count against u man. In all other
branches of athletics thoso behind. In actual
position or score, havo at least a look nt
what Is going on with tho leaders, and, more
or less accurately, can tell bow tho battle
la going. In rowing not a man In the
hlndermost crew after tho rudder of the
leading boat gets out ot bis sldo vision
knows a tiling about tclatlve positions ex
cept what he gets from the coxswain, who,
notoriously, Is a polished liar ns to dis
tances when ho is uiging his men on.

Alexander had a terrlblo time. Ho got

team mates tie It In the third. The Giants
got another In the fourth nnd then the
l'blllles gavo him a four-run ndvantage It
lasted until tho seventh, when the Giants
got another run. Then the mighty Alex
forgot everything. Four Glunt runs scam
pered over and Alexander took his bath.
After the Dodgers had trotted out their
entire batting order for Itudolph In the
second Inning they followed It In tho sev

bases ngaln. Art Nchf rescued tho weary
Itudolph.
Cicotte got a start on the other two. After

of runs had greeted him In sK Innings, he
