of Sports with the lowly Cincinnati Reds. Un- less the Pirates play better ball thanf they did against New York theirj chances to retain the lead will be small. In the American league the Yankees are keeping up their steady pace and are always threatening to overtake he Indians, but never seem to have quite the punch to step into first place. The Cleveland pitchers have rot been going up to their usual, 'orm, and unless Bagby regains his old stride the Indians will have a hard time keeping ahead of the New York- ers when they meet them next week. Middleweight Title in Dispute Who is middleweight champion? This is the question being asked since the meeting of Champion John- ny Wilson and Bryan Downey in Cleveland. According to the Cleve- land boxing commission, and sport writers, the title belongs to Down- ey, who acquired it by a knockout over Wilson in the seventh round of their 12-round tilt. Referee Gardner, of Lowell, Mass., declared that Wilson retains the title because he was fouled by Downey. All of the leading sport men who witnessed the bout say that there was no foul committed, and that the title rightfully belongs to Downey. At any rate the present title holder was badly beaten. Meet Ends in Ties Track athletes representirg Oxford and Cambridge tied yesterday with the combined Princeton-Cornell team. The English combination won five firsts and six seconds, to the Ameri- can athletes' five firsts and five sec- onds. None of the records made in this meet were as outstanding as the one made. by Gourdin of Harvard in the recent meet between the Englishmen and the Harvard-Yale combination. In general the results were only aver- age. Abrahams, of Cambridge, was the individual1 star, winning the 100 yard dash and the broad jump., The sen- sation of the meet was the running of Foresman of Princeton, who out- classed Seagrove, the British star distance man, in the three mile run. Seagrove had been conceded a first in this event but the little Princeton runner kept pace with him until the final lap and then drew away. lie won in 15:18 3-5. CRITTIQUE rrr "The Sworn Brothers" A book which pleases me more than a little is "The Sworn Brothers", (Knopf) by Gunnar Gunnarsson, translated from the Danish. It is at once a romantic and hu- man novel of the ancient Norsemen. Up to the reading of this book every Viking whom I have encountered in print - has been a plaster of Paris fellow stuffed with dead wadding; he has been an unyielding person, al- ways striking picturesque poses. I was for believing that he had no human prototype. In "The Sworn Brothers" I began to suspect that these ancient Norse- men liked to eat, to make love, and to touch a beer mug to the mouth and eyebrows. One Quite Modern . Indeed, Leif, one of the sworn brothers, is quite modern in spirit. He has" a sardonic snicker for the, gods and has less love for Thor than a Frenchman has for Hindenburg. When he goes Viking he momentarily forgets the girl back home for a pretty wench on the English coast. Leif is inclined to quarrel easily, he does not understand himself, he does the most foolhardy things, escaping harm in a miraculous manner. yet there is no charmed-life nonsense to disgust the reader. He finally falls from a sword thrust by a serf. Ingolf, the other brother, is more reserved, more traditionally Nordic, except that he somewhat favors peaceful pursuits; but he is courage- ous and a valiant fighter. He thor- oughly venerates the gods of his an- cestors. The fathers of the two boys# are. truly human. Their fighting days are done, their limbs are weary, and they point to the times gone by as the times when the best of the breed lived. They are, in short, in their dotage; they relate adventures Hy- perborean, they bury their noses in cups of red wine and beer. Thus we see that between the Norsemen's fighting days and Valhalla there is senility, a thing almost unheard of in Viking tales.A Women More Conventional The wives of the two brothers, however, are thoroughly convention- al figures and they are less human. There is no question of their faith, honor, and virtue, and they are, in the main, uninteresting. There is finally a feud in which the two 'brothers are victorious over their enemies, but they are forced to leave for Iceland, where Leif dies and the story ends. All in all, "The Sworn Brothers" And is a good book; it is realistic romantic, it is interesting an structive. Of all the stories w have read of ancient Scandina is the best.
