Fat, who was ill and not in condition to patrol I the mound, was indignant when advised by Boss Liever to keep off the hill A quartet is miscues on the part of the Readingites played a great part in I permitting nine of the Morgantown swatstick artists to cross the scoring station. Pat Liever's infallible infield (he says so himself) staged two snappy double i plays, to Salzman to Kolodzynski and Salzman to Joak to Kolodsynski. The Morgantonians outhit the visitors 15 to The Columbians pilfered eight sacks. Three of these were made by Kolodzynski. Muhlenberg and Peyton, who per formed.

This being conceded by all and sundry; American amateur boxers figure to make what Is technically known as a clean up in the Olympic bouts. Proportionately the amateurs In this country are as skilled as the professionals.

It may be assumed that this is true rf)f other countries. England has no Pempsey or Leonard or Stribling to fire the imagination of combative youth.

Expect Real Fight From Denmark In this connection it is interesting to find that the Denmark team Is one of the favorites and Is expected to lift a large arid terrifying paw in the tournament finals.

Either that or they one not competent. Wrestling, hitting on the breaks, rabbit punches and kidney blows seldom draw more than a reprimand. Mostly they are overlooked entirely. The Olympic Judges will hardly be this lenient, and there will be no reprimands. Any foul will mean a disqualification.

From Cradle By RECK Pat Troup, genial pilot of the Riverside clan, gonfalon contenders of the Berks County League, will soon be qualified to hang out a shingle, "Pat Troup's, school of baseball." And when he advertiser in the press, he will starU "Among our graduates areo and so of the so and so league team, etc." Why the splurge? Well, Pat has been icking up young material for quite some time and in doing so has produced a champion ball club. Strange that the big league magnates lei him run around loose, as there is a need for scouts! The yearlings who are starring on the Riverside nine are Scoop Graeff, shortflelder; Bill Mallrizzi, alias Mertz. moundsman: Haas, ditto, and Stauffer, centerfteld. Scoop, who is captain of the Douglass and Weiser Junior 1 High school b. b.

team was singled last year by Pat, the wily tnember of the "Riverside Engine 1 Housa No. 1, Stove League." Yesterday Scoop hit .500 and accepted a trio of chances safely. Master Graeff has" patrolled the hot corner for the team for quite some time. Bill Mertz, for short, heaved Saturday for the Troupmen. He held the Shillington team to six runs despite the fact that he had seven errors behind him.
