Queen's will soon be preparing its grounds for the fall sports. This year the oollege will &tart better equipped in grounds than ever in its history. The rugby squad will be able to start practising on the stad- fum the first of the year. Last yeor the grass was too tender for any early practicing being done there. The lower campus which for years has accommodated the various squads will now be for the exclusive | use of the soccer players and will ba appreciated by this group of enthus- iasts, who last year used the cricket field for some of their practices. This summer, half of the lower cam- pus has been made into tennis courts 'but these will soon be cleared for the fall sports, the middle campus courts and the new courts on ihe upper campus being sufficient to supply the wants of the tennis play- ers. The rugby games between ths various years and faculties will like. | ly be played off at the old athletic | grounds. It is also hoped in time to make the ground west of the stadium fit for the use of the scrub squads of rugbyists. The winter sports will find 'the college well prepared, the Harty ar- ena being completed and shape for the opening of the year The finishing touches were put on it this summer. The open air rink which was built on the site of tho new tennis courts will also be like ly due for a change. The site of the 'old curling rink would probably be a good place for the rink as it is near the gym and in a good situation. The track team will find good fa- cilities for their needs in the stadium and the gymnasium. ony LTTE BITS. | 3 Tex Rickard will seek permission of the New York boxing commission to stage .the Jack Dempsey-Jack Brenngn fight in New York, it was announced, Phil Douglas, banished pitcher, is 41] with nervous trouble at his home and legal efforts to get him a hear- ing from Commissioner Landis have been suspended temporarily, Appeal of John Von Elm, Seattle, to be reinstated as an amateur golfer was turned down dy the U.S. Golf Association, Von Elm was recent- ly declared ineligible because of his commeotion with a sporting goods firm.

In a short time he lost all interest in pok- ing a baseball around the lot and spent his spare time trying to see how far he could clout a golf ball. Babe Ruth once said he preferred golf to any other game because he "liked to see the ball sail." There's a fascination about hitting a golf ball and watching it rise slowly and ride on towar@ the horizon as if it never was going to come down again. A home run with a big fat baseball is a comparatively clumsy and nu- spectacular feat. Hagen felt that way about it when he deserted ba!l playing and went in for golf. During the past two or three years several big league managers have prohibited golf playing during the baseball season because of the sup- erior fascination ball players found in "giving the pill a ride." They lost interest in hitting a baseball less than half as far. Moreover, golf playing hurts bat- ting because ball players who are devotees of golf try to bat with a regular golf swing. John McGraw says that a batter hits a baseball with a "chop," while a golfer has to take a long, loose swing -- conse- quently ball playing and golf playing in the same season don't mix. Old timers are beginning to re- member a lot of stories about Hag'n now that Walt has British championship. Hagen's first tournament was at Brooklyn in 1913 --the same in which the youthful Ouimet defeated Vardon and Ray, British professional stars. At on» time in that tournament Hagen ac- tually led the fleld. But lacking ex- perience he faded toward the finish. Hagen doesn't fade now. His game grows stronger when he's in ditfictl- ties. About a year ago Hagen met Bar- nes in a match in New Orleans. They had competed several times before, and usually had an agreement to split the prize, no matter which won. This time Hagen, just down from Detroit and shy of practice while Barnes was in great form at the fin- ish of a long exhibition trip, sug- gested that they make the usual ar- rangement. Canny Barnes thought Walter would be away off his game, picked off the | So why give up money that was al- ready half won? "If y6t don't mind, Walter," he said, "I'd just as soon play it out this time. 1 think I can veat you here." Barnes led all the way and at the seventeenth had Hagen dormie two. Stepping up to the seventeenth tee Barnes remarked smilingly that he certainly had the right dope in re- fusing to split the first prize. "Don't get any foolish idea you have this match won, Jim," said Hagen. Hagen won the next two holes and beat Barnes on the twentieth green. Greenleaf-Allen Pool Match.
