In his heat of the e was placed against slow merely breezed down the away in comparatively slow time Two other heats were run in faster time than the New Yorker aceom- Plished his, and a great final was predicted A great final came about, but it was a great final mainly because Hussey made it great. He jumped out in front of Pugh and Ziegler, in whom many pinned their faith. £radu adened the dis until he strack the tapethree or four yards in front of Pugh and a_ good 8ix yards ahead of Ziegler. It was Temarkable running, and everybody knew that the event had been pro- ductive of a splendid effort not only on Hussey's part, but on the part of the Washingtonians who opposed him, nt Hussey men and straight- Hussey Given an Ovation. When the time was announced 97-10 onds the young star given splendid ~ ovation. Two Watches caught the time at 9 6-10 and four at 97-10, and the fact that the’| time w made on a track SOgRY with rain and on a cold, wet after- noon makes it all the more remark- able All three records in the field events were made by Central men. Baker bet- tered his own discus mark of a year ago, at that time throwing the plate 116 fe 11 inchs Not satisfied with that Baker then went out and put the twelve-pound shot 44 feet 3% inches, which was neariy two feect farther than the record set by Palmer pf Greenbrier Military Academy last spring, when he attai a distance of 42 feet 5 inches. In the final field event,” the Jjavelin throw, Gordon broke the mark hitherto adden, threw the spear 142 feet 8 inches in . Central High won the meet, only one point of doubling the score of the next best equad. The Blue and Whits rolled up a total of 47 DfiinLl".

Two watches for the highest num- ber of points scored in the events by individuals went to Pugh ofy Tech for the track competitions and Baker for the field. Pugh won the 20-yard dash in 23 seconds and got a | second in the 100 in time that must have been perilously close to 10 fla Baker's points went to him as a re- sult of his victories in the shot and Pugh's second place in the | ounted almost as much for him | as victory in any ordinary event be- cause he beat Ziegler, the Central star, who was thought to be faster. And’it was Ziegler who was expect by most of those present to give Hus- sey the closest race. Bckel, who won the $50-yard run for Central, threw away a fine op- portunity to set a new record in the half mile by running too fast in his first quarter. As a result he slumped in the last 220 of the event and prob- | ably ran a full three seconds slower than he could had his pace been bet- ter judged. At that, he covered the distance in 2 minutes 3 and a frac- tion seconds. . Events for Girls Held.

BAKER HITS AT McGRAW | IN NEW BASE BALL ROW HILADELPHIA, May 10.—President Wi delphia National League club, in a statement tonight replying to | a recently published article by Manager McGraw of the New York | Giants criticisiug the playing ability of the Phillies, said that it was “very | bad taste for McGraw, vice president and manager of one club, to criti- cise publicly a club in his own league.” P McGraw in his oriticlsm said that if waivers were asked on the Phillies three-fourths of the players would not be claimed by other major league clubs. - “Let us look closely for his mo- tive for his criticism of the Phillies," Mr. Baker's statement said, “and per- haps we may find something sinister behind it. Let the fans of Philadel- phia remember the Meusel and Sten- gel episodes. What was the iuvisible influence surrounding those men that made their playing so poor that the fans voiced their disapproval against thes S o e the case of Meadows, whose work for the Phillies was not up to his ability. It has never been made public, but it Is true that at the end of July, 1922, one of the offi- cials of the New York club called me up at night at my home and offered me $100,000 cash and two young play- ers for Meadows, and I refused it “‘We are now at the beginning of a long season, and with the fear con- stantly in his heart that the Yankees may win in the American League and he won't, this little Napoleon of base ball is becoming panicky.” “Who can tell” the statement fur- ther said “if his criticism of the Phillies should create discontent YALE ROUTS TIGERS IN MEET, 81 T0 54 NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 10.—Yale found Princeton an easy opponent in the annual dual games of the univer- sities today, winning 81 points to 54, when many of the followers of college sports had forecast a close result. Yale was strong on the track, taking 52 points and in the field its strength was unexpected, getting 29 points as against 34 for Princeton. Three Yale-Princeton dual meet records fell and one was tied. Scat- tergood of Princeton won the 22 vyard low hurdles in %4 3-5 seconds, which breaks the previous gecord held Jjointly by three Yale and’ Princeton men by a fifth of a second. He also took first place in the 120-yard high hurdles, his time being only one-fifth of & second from the record. Norton of Yale took two firsts when he won the century dash.and tied the record at 21 3-5 seconds in the 220-yard dash. Comins of Yale broke the rec- ord in the broad jump with a leap of 23 feot 7 3-4 inches, cutting off more than 6 inches from the record made by Sheffield of Yale in 1904 at 23 feet 11-2 inches. Capt.

The leader of YRUS RAYMOND COBB and the game of base ball were glowingly eulogized last night by members of the United States Senate and House of Representatives, of the newspaper fraternity and of the the Detroit American League club was honor guest at a dinner given by Representative Robert H. Clancy of Michigan at the Hotel Roosevelt and tribute was paid_him by many of the most gifted orators of the legislative branch of the national government. As Senator David I. Walsh of Massachusetts declared in concluding a laudatory address, it was “Cobb’s night and nothing too. good of him as an exponent of the national pastime and as a gentleman could be said. At the head table with Cobb werebetter sportsman ever graced base Senator William J. Harris of Georgia, the Tyger manager's native state; Senator §Voodbridge N.

Cobb averred that “no greater pitcher mor ball than Walter Johnson,” while the National moundsman was equally emphatic In naming Ty as “the most remarkable player ever in the game President Griffith, too, accorded to the Detroit manager the premier po- sition in base ball. In speaking of his team, Cobb said that “no rules are needed on the club; the men know how to conduct themselves. The present day base ball is played by a high type of man.

Raymond Cobb yesterday re- warded his admirers by hitting viciously, playing a scintillating game afield and displaying all his old-time spirit and acumen in directing the a‘thlc!es he bosses.

Cobb _showed mo signs of weak underpinning when he sprinted far over into right field for Rice's po- tentfal triple. Ty’'s other two put- outs also were recorded in this frame, Leibold and Harris being the victims. The extra base blows of Goslin and Jones both carried against the right field barrier on the fly.

CUBS TRIM DODGERS IN TWO BIG INNINGS CHICAGO. May 10.—Chicago con- centrated its attack in two innings today and defeated Brooklyn, 7 to 5, in the first game of the series, Alexander issued his first base on balls after pitching thirty-nine con- secutive innings.

Staged under low-hanging clouds that leaked continuously from the second inning on. and in a tempera- ture more suitable for ice hockey than base ball, the outlook for the Nationals was as drear as the weather until the fag end of the fray. when they put on a garrison finish which nullified a courageous exhibition of flinging by the veteran George Da and made the 5,000-0dd damp and chill ed spectators forget their discomfort. Alding and abetting the meritorious mound work of Martina were a guar- tet of performers who cavort in local livery—Rice, Goslin, Prothro and Judge. The last pulled up lame and was compelled to retire from the combat, but not before he bettered even the efforts of Cobb as an attack- ing foree by initiating one tally and driving in the other two. Cobb Upsets Old Custom. Diamond athletes receiving the trib- ute accorded Cobb yesterday usually | respond by popping up or whiffing, but not so Tyrus. Presented on his first appearance at the plate, by a £Toup of men high in the councils of the nation, with a set of twenty-one yolumes by standard authors, one book for each year he has been in professional base ball, Cobb acted contrary to custom by pumping a single to center. This blow led to the first tally of the tete-a-tete, but the Georgian needed some unprogrammed assistance from Muddy Ruel to work around to the counting block. It was sandwiched in between aerial deaths of Blue and Manush. Heilmann then walked, and the bases were filled when Prothro was unable to handle Pratt’s sharp roller. At this junc- ture Ruel essaved to nip Heilmann off second, and, on his bad heave to Peck, Cobb trotted home. Rigney then fannéd, leaving mates on third and second. It was Cobb again, in round 2, who was responsible for the second tally hung up by the Bengals. Jones started the session with a line double against the right-field fence and, after Bassler's death, moved to_third when Peck threw out Dauss. Blue coaxed a free ticket and the eminent Tyrus then produced the tally with a siz zling single to right. Martina v timized Manush on strikes to end the threat. Geslin’s Triple Helps. Set down in order in the opener, tho Nationals broke into the run ‘column in the second. Goslin paved the wav with a tremendous wallop that car- ried to the barrler in right field for three bases and Judge promptly cashed him by beating out a rap to Pratt back of the midway. Ruel also came through with a safety and the Griffs looked dangerous when Pro- thro moved up both his mates with a sacrifice, but Dauss was equal to the emergency, taking both Peck and Martina on strikes. On three occasions thereafter th Griffs made menacing motions tha came to naught. In the third Lei- bold was stranded at the far corner following his single, Harris' sacri- fice and Rice's demise when Goslin rolled to Pratt. In the following frame an even more promising start was made. Judge led with a safety over secon and advanced a notch on Ruel's rap down the left-fleld line, only to hav Prothro force Muddy, whereupon Richbourg fanned for Peck and Mar- tina rolled to the box. Again In the sixth the Griffs got A pair on the paths when Ruel beat out & dunt and Prothro singled to center with two down, the flare-up being squeiched by Rigney, who gathered In Bluege's bounder. Big Doings in the Eighth. It was in the eighth that the big do- ings materialized. Rice blazed the trafl with a double to left, moved up on Goslin's suicide and checked in with the tying tally when Judge belted to right-center, this wallop netting two bases only because Josephus was limp- ing on a lame leg. Shirley was put in to run for him, and the break of the game followed ‘when Ruel rammed to Rigney. The latter’s toss beat Shirley to third, but Judge's understudy crashed into Jones with such force that the Tyger third-sacker dropped the ball Then it was that Prothro produced the punch that spelled victors, his rap to right registering Shirley with what proved to be the deciding marker. After round 2 pickin's for the Bengals were lean. They planted athletes at the midway three different times, but found Martina unsolvable at these points, Prothro, Harris and Judge pulling a double play to help him out on one oc- casion.
