By Robert Boyd, rr-i HR Yankee leave New York I to-duy for Washington to atari the championship season with Clyde Milan's Senators to-morrow. Clark Griffith, with the aid of the veteran outfielder, has whipped a jcrcat ball club together this yenr which, with on even break In the pitching, may cause both Speaker and Miller Muggins much trouble In holding the leadership of the raco in tho younger circuit. When the Yanks shako the dust of the big town from their shoes and drift down to the capita, Miller Hug gins, diminutive commander-in-chief of the American League champions, will bo in deep meditation over how the team is going to shape up against the Sonatorn without tho services of their two moat important men on the offense The Yankees with Dob Meusel and Babe Kuth in the line-up was perhaps never the team that lomo folks thought it was, but with the two big guns silenced through the ruling of Judge Landls Well? Hugglns has a reason to worry on the eve of the commencement of another weary and strenuous campaign. Pitching, it is said, makes a ball club. And with Sam Jones, who will probably atart tho season in Wash ington to-morrow, Joe Bush, Carl Mays, Hoyt, hawkoy and O'Doul, Hugglns will ba consoled.

THE Princeton boyis are Inclined to sympathize with Fordham over tho defeat at tho hands of the Giants, but, everything con sidered, they'vo decided it's nil for the best. This avoids any possible complications in the claims for tho all-around baseball championship. All 'tho Tigers have to do now Is trim tho World's Champs to-day and take the ribbon. It is quite simple. ' And the Giants are Just as anxious tp get this Princoton battle, off their . hinds, with that out of the way they cm go right ahead- and open tho rcg ahr Reason to-morrow. Princeton's only regret, according to her manager, Is that in caso they run roughshod over the World's Champs McQraw will not have a chanco 'for a return engagement next spring. That's a thing McGraw had not thought of unUl It waa colled to his attention. "It's something ,to figure ' on, at that," he observed, his brows wrink ling In deep thought.

"I can stand for the boyB getting walloped," said .Hughey, "because I don't think they really expected to win by a big score,' but there's a thing that riles the two of us a thing I can't understand. How comes lb tell me how it comes that men by. the names of Bchermerhorn, Boutot and Cousineau are after making most of tho flno plays? Yes. and doing most ot the whaling of the ball." "But there's a lad named Shankey waving tho ehlllalah quite a bit," . suggested O'Malley. "He gets a two 'bagger and a run." "Well, now ,filnce I've heard the others." said Hughey, "I ain't so faure that he's Irish, at that. I don't remember any Bhankey's coming from tho County Mayo." f'ordhom reallv wotbtrt tu-rd to make a thotdnp ojlrnt the (hauls, but for the flrit vtme, even dtafntt professional, tnev ap-j.-o.-frf to have stage frtghf.

I'ewster will cover left and Elmer MIlorwlll play centre, rewster's hit ting and his fielding is bound to ba steady, but McMillan is tho uncer tainty of the outer works. Ho is really an lnfieldcr, with no reputa tion for brilliancy, yet ho In a hard hitter. Miller has played well in tho spring training trip, and he is likely to have a better hatting season this year than he did last. Tho way Homerun Baker has been hitting tho kill may givo him tho call for third over Mike McNnlly. Ho has showed some of the oldtlme slugging that made him tho Babe Ruth of years ago, creating a good impression with Chief Hugglns. i All told, tho way Jones, Bush, Mays and Hoyt are going, they should car ry tho team over tha first month porhaps tho hardest one of tho race nicely. Tho Infield of last year, with Itoger I'ecklnpaugh at short, was slightly stronger on tho offensive. Bcolt, the greatest mechanician of to-day, la a fielder par excellence, but "Peck" added a stronger punch when runs wero needed.

"At least five clubs in our league have a chanco to win the 1121 pennant, and, since nothing Is certain In baseball, any one ot the other three may spring a sur prise and confound even tho ex perts.

Important changes were made In tho plan for holding the National Open Golf Cham pionship at the Skokte Club, Chicago, at a conference between Robert A. Gardner of Chicago, Vlco President of the United States Golf Association, and George Sargent of Columbus, Presi dent, and Aleo Plrle, Chicago, Secretary of the Professional Golfers' Associa tion. Instead of tho whole field playing eighteen holes on tho first of the usual three days, it was decided to tpllt tha entrants Into' three equal squads of probably seventy-five to 100 players. The first contingent will play thirty six holes on Monday, July 10, the sec ond thirty-six holes on Tuesday and tho third the like amount on Wednes day, Tho best twenty-four scorers In each division will qualify for the championship play of aeventy-twq holes, Originally the play was to extend over three days, July 11, 13 and 14, with an elimination round of eighteen holen on Tuesday. This has been found all but impossible with ever Increasing fields. Under the new arrangement there will be seventy-two or more players in tho regular competition Instead ot tho sixty-four who have' survived tho prelimi nary round heretofore. Tho conference also considered in formally other phases ot tho cham pionship, which would be International to larger extent than ever before.

"Puddln' " McDanlel and his brother Bruce, tho uvenllo members of a famous turf confederacy, spent a sleepless night. They lost their meal ticket. It hap pened at Bowie yesterday, after tho old steeplechaser Fair Mac, horo of many field battles and one ot tho steadiest selling plater jumpers in tho country, had been led off to George Foreman's barn with a. clalmer's halter on him. 'Twos an awful blow to tho two youngsters, who havo been Mac's sole dependency for the last three years. Bruce has worn the owner's badge. while "Pud" cared for the training. When "Puddln'," who, Incidentally, was one ot tho beat riders In tho country about ten years ngo, went off to New Orleans last fall to train tho Lavin and Brown strings, ho left Bruce at Gravesend with Fair Mac and more instructions concerning his care than Ben Block gave Fred Bur low about Morvlch. Bruce did JUBt as he was told, with tho result that old Mac, one of the oldest geldings In tho 'East, got off tho cars to rejoin the Southern divi sion looking and acting like a two-year-old, so well. In fact, that the pair figured it would do htm good to run with somo flat horses again, it only to put tho final prep, on his speed tor the two or three selling steeple chase races they had In sight during the Havre de Grace meeting next week.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., April 11. A definite move for reform in the con trol of college athletics was made here at a meeting of the presidents of eleven New England and. New York colleges when a motion was adopted to form an association of college presi dents to tako wider consideration ot the best Interests ot athletics. It was voted to recommend to the faculties and trustees of the Institutions partic ipating that all coaches, beginning with the fall ot 1923, be appointed In the same way as members of the fac ulty. President Alexander Meiklejohn of Amherst College was chairman and President Remscn B. Ogilby of Trin ity was secretary. After a general vote of approval of such meetings hud been passed It was decided to form an association of presidents. Presidents Meiklejohn. Ogilby and Kenneth C. M. Sills of Bowdoln were appointed an executive committee to arrange future meetings. Besides those named there were present Arthur J. Roberts, Col by; Frederick C. Ferry, Hamilton; Paul D. Moody, Mlddlebury; John A. Cousens, Tuft; Guy W. Bailey, Ver mont; William A. Shanklln, Ww leyan; Harry A. Garfield, Williams, and Chancellor Charles A. Richmond of Union. The moUon embodying the recommendations was: "That, recognizing that Intercol legiate athletics are at present a part ot tho work of tho Department ot Physical Education, we recommend to our respective faculties and trustees that, beginning with the fall ot 192?, all coaches be appointed In the same way as are members of the faculty and other officers of tha Institution.

The Chair men of the HftrVard, Yale and Prince ton athletlo committees meet an nually to discuss matters of impor tance along common eligibility lines, and each is supposed to keep his own territory free from suspicion. Dean Brlggs doesn't believe that there Is any athleto at Harvard who will suffer from an investigation if one is made, he said to-day. He qualified tho statement, however, by adding that If It is' ehown that any Harvard athlete is not what ho has stated himself to bo to the athletic authorities ho would be barred imme diately. Dean Grccnough wished it firmly understood that the recent meeting In' New York City of the men appointed by tho Presidents of Harvard, Yale and Princeton had absolutely nothing to do with the present rumpus.
