Berry was beaten in the discus by both Dambly, of Penn State, and Hoot, of Swarthmore.

BIG IiEAGUE SCORES National Jinimia Lavender chucked a wrench into the New York scoring machine yesterday and the Giants only secured five hits two of which were flivvers, while the Phils lam med'Tesreau for seven. The final score read 5 to 1. Both the Pittsburgh and Cincin nati pitchers got away to a poor start yesterday because of the cold weather. Pittsburgh scored three in the first and Cincinnati scored two in the same frame and three in the second. Neither team scored after that. Final score, 5 to 3.

"Stuffy" Mclnnis Is Staging Comeback; Hitting Shows Strong iii rtnr~~ . * ~ i*'** M'INfclES, PHILADELPHIA ATH LETICS. New York, April 28.—Stuffy "Mc lnnis has come back, just as Connie Mack said he would. The lone mem ber of that famous SIOO,OOO infield is hitting the ball with vigor this year, his average to date being around the .350 mark and that against some of best early sea son pitching the' American League has ever seen. Last year, for some uncxplainable reason, Mclnnis got away to a poor start. He was barely able to bat in the .200 class during the first two months of the campaign. Then he climbed to .295 as the season closed. His 191(! slump at tho.bat was his lirst in seven years of active service. He hit over .300 in all other seasons. Mack refused to part with Mclnnis, despite his bad slump last year, and his judgment is being upheld. The fact that the Athletics as a team have formed the habit of maikng onslaughts the pitchers in one big inning has nothing to do with Mclnnis hitting. He hits when other members of the team are turned back to the bench. SOMEBODY LIED By SULLIVAN (do?! 5 { H I FORMER OFFICER HERE TO COMMAND FT. NIAGARA CAMP Col.
