North Carolina got two runs in the first inning and there was no more scoring. Georgetown's mile relay team, with wo of its regulars watching the race, as defeated by Holy Cross yester- y in the relay games held by Loy 1 College, out in Chicago. The Blue and Gray two-mile outfit, though, had no trouble winning from Marquette University, its only opponent. De- spite the absence of resulars on the one-mile team, the Hilltoppers came near winning. Ascher, their star, left the mark with a margin of a yard on Tierney of Holy Cross in the fi lap, but was beaten to the tape by just that margin. No doubt Jimmie De Hart, Wash- ington and Lee foot ball coach, is using good judgment in remaining at Washington and Lee during the coming n instead of taking over duties at Duke University imme diately. De Hart at Duke this Fall probably would have only medjocre material, but at Washington and Lee undoubtedly will go on the field with the best prospects of any school in the section. The Generals have back their entire eleven of last Fall, except one man in the backfield, and some of the men are more experienced than players ever will be n on South- ern Conference teams De Hart takes up duties as head of athletics at Duke next January, and Pat Herron, who coaches Duke this Fall, leaves there at that time to take charge at Washington and Lee. Duke gets & good man in De Hart. He has been successful in foot ball as a coach at Washington and Lee and Georgia, and probably will enjoy success in his new job. Tt seems that there are four good college inters in the South At- lantic section, besides the men George- town has, if stop watches as held by various men are to be believed. It seems that the South Atlantic sec tion tops all other sections in this respect, if times for varlous races are correct. Montague of V. P. I. was Jcredited with doing the hundred last week in 9 4.5 seconds, and Foster of Virginia Military Institute was credited with the same time. Mc- Pherson has been doing the hundred consistently for North Carolina in 10 flat. And the tracks on which the races are being run are not par- ticularly good. The ‘track on which Foster ‘did his 9 4-5 seconds Satur- day at Lexington was in very poor shape, too poor in fact to warrant a belief that anybodv could run the century that fast down ome of its straightawa; However, there’s no doubt that Foster is a good sprinter. OLD ELIS MAY FIND USE FOR PRICHARD BY LAWRENCE PERRY. So far as the writer can gather #from Yale sources there is no strong interest felt by Blue foot ball author- fties in the announcement that Capt. Vernon E. Prichard, the former Army foot ball star and coach, will be trans- ferred to New Haven for work in the R. O. T. C. section. Capt. P rd's ability recog- nized by Tad Jones at its full value, but with his staff organized as it now is there would seem to be not mucl of an opening for the Army man services on the gridiron, even grant- ing that he had the time and the in- clination to take up this work as a side issue. On the other hand, when the Yale foot ball authorities come to know Capt. Prichard all the chances are that they will hardly resist the temp- tation to use him in some way, pro- vided he is willing. For of all magnetic men whom the writer has met Vernon Prichard stands high indeed. He radiates per- sonality, is an officer and a gentle- man of the highest type and will prove an asset to e of highest value, even assuming he never goes to the foot ball field save as a spec- tator. No quarterback, not even that premier Notre Dame hurler Dorals, was more formidable than Prichard when he stood back of the line, ball in hand, waiting for an eligible man to get clear. If things so work out that Prich- ard’s coaching services are made available at Yale it will not be un- likely that the War Department in the future will receive more than a few applications from colleges where the R. O. T. C. course is installed for officers who, in addition to their tech- nical qualifications, have won fame as players or teachers on the plains at West Point. pla e U e 12 ABANDONS CHANNEL SWIM.

SCHARROO TO HEAD SPORT FEDERATION PARIS, April 20.—Capt. P. W, Scharroo, president of the Olympic games committee for Holland, was to- day elected president of the perma- nent bureau of the Internatignal | Sporting Federations. ‘This election is in accordance with the decision of the Congress of the Sporting Federations last year that the president of the bureau be the head of the Olympic games committee of the country where the next Olympic games are to be held. Gustavus T. Kirby of New York City is the American member of the bureau. A campaign is under way in Hol- land to raise funds for the 1928 Olym- pic games, which will be held in Am- sterdam. The Dutch Parliament will discuss this week a bill to appropriate the equivalent of about $400,000 for this purpose. 121 MARATHON MEN IN RACE AT BOSTON BOSTON, April 20.—A field of 121 runners, rated among the strongest ever to compete in an American Marathon race, today was assembled for the twenty-ninth annual Mara- thon of the Boston Athletic Associa- tion, long known as the American Marathon. Coming from nine States, the Dis- trict of Columbia and Canada, the competitors included Clarence H. de Mar, 27-year-old Melrose veteran, four times winner of the classic; three other former winners, and seven of the first eight men to place a year ago. Victory carries with it the National Amateur Athletic Union title. The course is the full Olympic distance, 26 miles 385 yards, from Hopkinton, Mass., to the B. A. A. clubhouse in Boston. For three successive years De Mar has won the event. Last vear his time of 2 hours 29 minutes 4015 seconds was the fastest ever run over the Olympic distance in the United States. QOP honors in the recent kennel T won the local class in dogs and place The owners of Ch. Cloudland White Mist seemed to feel that she could clean up the honors in the bull terrier ring, so she was brought down from Scranton by “Abfe the Agent.” She was placed reserve to Mrs. A. M. Hyler's local winner, Ch. Victoria Patricia, in the special for best bull er bitch. “rank Leach brought out better than his usual crop of Spring puppies for their first schooling in the show ring and at least two of these will help toward the Newcoin Kennels' program of making & champion each year. Mrs. J. T. Helleger's Pekingese, Cum Tu, was winner in the regular classes and second in the toy variety class here, beating Mrs. F. M. Oster- hunt's Maltese terrier, Kuddle Klpse. The Pomeranians, Babe Ruth and Lady Diana, owned by Mrs. M. G. Pope, were placed reserve winners in the dog and bitch divisions of this breed. This same placing went to the Dobermann_pinschers, Rolf V. Eiche- berg and Dolly V. Desenberg, frora Gus Buchholz' Occidental Kennels. Mrs. C. W. Adair brought out an unusually good shepherd puppy in G. V. Stroheim. This dog is matur- ing rapidly and is very hard to fault, heing of good size and gait and lack- ing the clumsiness generally found in a youngster. Willlam Monroe with Else V.

Eastern and Central will fur- nish the second title series game of the week on Wednesday and Tech and Business will oppose each other Sat- urday. Eastern and Central are credited with having the strongest teams in the league and are expected to fur- nish the feature contest of the week. Both were victorfous in their first games of the championship schedule. Tech is to be entertained by the Georgetown University freshmen to- morrow while Eastern plays host to Devitt Prep. Business and George- town Prep were to meet in the only scholastic tilt scheduled for this after noon.

LYNCH IS GOiNG ABROAD TO RUN IN MARATHONS While Mike Lynch, premier harrier of the Aloysius Athletic Club, is not participating in the annual Boston marathon today, James Montague and Leon S. Hammond will carry the I street organization colors and repre- sent Washington in the Patriots’ day run. Lynch is suffering from a carbuncle at present but expects to be back in condition before May 2, when he plans sailing for Europe with Frank Zuna to enter the London marathon on May 30. The two Americans also expect |to appear in a marathon event in Belgium, and the Aloysius runner has hopes of getting into action in Ire land. STENROOS WON'T RUN IN U. S. FOR MONTH NEW YORK, April 20.—Albin Oscar Stenroos, Finland’'s 3§-year-old mara- thon runner, will not undertake any competitions in this country for at least a month. This was the announcement made by Stenroos at the home of Hugo Quist, American trainer and adviser to Paavo Nurmi, at 210 West 147th street, where the Olympic marathon champion is making his headquarters temporarily. Stenroos spent yesterday sightseeing through the city with Carl Koleh- mainen, younger brother of Hannes Kolehmainen, and renewing acquaint- ances with countrymen scattered through the city. Willie Kolehmainen, older brother of the great Hannes, acted as guide for the visitors. Stenroos said he is a machinist, was born at Abo, the birthplace of the in- comparable Paavo Nurmi and makes his home in Helsingfors. He an- nounced his intention of engaging in American competition, racing at dis- tances of from 12 to 20 miles. He plans to remain in this country for at least three months and said that he had abandoned his plans for going to Boston to witness today’'s annual Patriots’ day marathon race. Stenroos is the father of two chil- dren, a boy and a girl. Like Nurmi, he carries a_watch in some of his races. The Finnish marathon star said he carries the timeplece only in races where he is unfamiliar with the course. He is 5 feet 8 inches in height, of stocky build, with light complexion, and weighs 155 pounds. SOUTH AMERICAN WINS RACES AT LONGCHAMP PARIS, April 20—E. Martinez de Hoz, a South American horse owner, yesterday carried off the honors at the Longchamp race course. Three of his horses won races, two of them at long odds, while another finished sec- ond. Jockey Semblat was in the saddle. He brought the colors of the South American first under the wire astride Nyo, Belfonds and Frisette, and rode Tricard to second place. The aggre- gate purses won were 176,000 francs.. HAGAN SIGNS CONTRACT. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., April 20. —Walter Hagen, British open golf champfon and holder of the world un- official title, has signed a contract to retain his office as president of the Pasadena Golf and Country Club of this city and to play as its repre- sentative for two years, beginning December 1, 192 The first officially recorded Greek Olympiad was held in 776 B.

Holz Eck, won the Occidental Cup as winner of the local class, and Tet- reault’s Cup, offered for the best local bitch, was won by Dr. Beverley Epes with Judy’s Lady. Mrs. Marion C. Durfee's 204-pound St. Bernard, Duke of Arlington, was much in evidence as collector for the American distemper relief fund. He was relleved of this duty by Mr. Jiggs, the Marine Corps mascot, long enough to appear in the show ring and be declared winner and best of his breed. Duke was the largest dog entered in the show. Dr. Sterling V. Mead's Newfound- land dog, Mead's Bush Boy, was best of his breed over the entrants from Pittsburgh, Pa., and Oakland, Md., and his pointer, Don Alvaro, was well placed throughout the classes. The most prominent local contend- er in English setters ,was Hunt's Whitestone Freckles, owned by H. J. Hunt, 3d. This dog placed well in several hot classes. He made a cred- itable showing at the puppy meet of the National Capital Field Trial Club in Bradley Hills last month. Among the rarer breeds the follow- ing local dogs were placed winners: Old English sheepdog, John Bull, own- ed by Mrs. S. W, Harvey; Cairn ter- rier, Greenmeadow Meg, owned by Miss F. Valentine; Belgian sheepdog, Mouche, owned by Robert Landry; French bulldog, Gabrielle Deslys, owned by W. N. Dovener; Italian greyhound, Juno, owned by Mrs. L.

Six weeks of outdoor work have put the regular crews in excellent shape, but neither coach is satisfied with 'the form displayed by his charges in the intrasquad races held thus far. Pennsylvania last year won 36| races. Six of last year's varsity eight, which finished fourth at Pough- keepsie, are seated in the present varsity crew. Only Joe Willson, foot ball captain-elect, who suffered an in- jury that necessitated his withdraw from rowing, and Grashof, who was in the bow of the varsity last season, are missing. Thelr places have been takeni by Swan and Hansel, both of whom were members of the Pennsyl-| vania crew that participated in the Olympic tryouts last June.

Palmer and I fought our way into the annual invitation tournament there and had a real battle right down to the home stretch. When we reached the 110-yard seventeenth hole, however, “Tub’ suddenly decided to stage a rally. And he laid his ball two feet from the cup for a sure birdie two. Now getting a birdie two on the hole was harder than you might think. The green was level as far as a strip about 6 feet wide, running from the | front to the back, was concerned. But it sloped downward on both sides of this level territory and the two in- clines did not cease until they tipped off into bunkers. You can see that unless I could piace my ball on that narrow shelf, close to the cup, as Paimer had done, he would take the hole. | This wouldn't be especially pleas: | ant, because I happened to be only two up. If he carried the match to the eighteenth green anything might happen. Luckily, T got a perfect shot. My ball dropped inside his and stopped 6 inches from the cup. He conceded the putt and the match ended right there. LEACH RUNS FIRST | IN ALOYSIUS RACE| Melvin Leach, U.

Often the entire wild life, in seriously threatened by this poisoned Donald Hough, who recently re- turned from a hundred-mile trip b: snowshoe through the Superior Na- tional Forest in Minnesota, told me of one instance along this line. It was during a terrific blizzard, and the party of snowshores, preceded by three dog teams, hiad just cross- ed a portage between two lakes. At the end of the portage they rest- ed before starting the trek across the lake, which was being swept by a blizzard so flerce that it obliterated everything a hundreds yards away, and the dogs, pulling the icaded tobog- gans through freshly fallen snow, were in need of a rest. The drivers looked to the harnesses, fixed up a couple of bleeding paws, scratched their faithful beasts behind the ears and otherwise encouraged them for the hard pull ahead. But a Government wolfer had been through the forest, and one of the dogs, the most beautiful of all, and the hardest worker, found a bit of poisoned fish ‘beneath the snow be- side the trail. The party started across the lake in the blizzard. They had not gone far f when the dog wavered and fell. The dog drivers quickly took him out of the Jharness, but it was of no avail. He stiffened out in the snow, his jaws quivered, his legs trembled and he was dead. Even before he died the snow had begun to drift around him, and when HE wolves do not get all of the poison that is set out for them. They are not the only animals that eat of the poisoned bait that is strewn through the woods and on the prairies in the effort to kill cluding the bird life, of a region is bait. the last tremor had run through his faithful legs his fur was full of snow and the wind was covering him with a white shroud. Within three minutes he was almost entirely covered. The procession of dog teams and snowshoers passed on into the bliz- zard. One of the party who had stopped longer than the rest at the portage caught up to them later. “Did you see the dead wolf back on the trail?” he asked. But it was not a dead wolf. It was the snow-covered form of one of the finest sled dogs in Minnesota—the pet and the pride of the Superior Forest. BOWLERS TO BANQUET.

BY RAY McCARTHY. EW YORK, April 20—The announcement that Bobby Jones would compete in the qualifying rounds of the national open golf cham- pionship at Lido, May 27 and 28, scts at rest rumors current since last Summer that the Atlanta star henceforth would confine his golf ac- tivities to amateur competition. This is certain to cause the professional brigade considerable worry For unquestionably Jones is the foremost contender in a great field, in so far as medal competition is concerned. His appearance in the national open means also that Bobby, who has at least 10 years more of golf ahead of him, will endeavor to surpass some of the records of his renowned pred- €cessors.
