They play the game “for blood,” but in all other respects there is nothing but the friendliest of ri- valry in attempts to do ridiculous things and to stage deliberately t proceedings. And they succeed, as any one will attest who watched their efforts The strongest appeal in all id is the appeal that ch make, and it is to answer that appe that Masonry, embodicd in the Shrine | and Grotto, work to make the field day a success. I answer to, that 1 that Masons dig down in their o pay for tickets they are sent each vear, have already been sent this Spring, and if there be one thing for which men and women deserve real credit and for which they will get credit it is for the extent to which they answer that appeal.

An| hour later, in a driving rain and through pools of water, Newman of the same school won the half in just 8 fraction over 1 minute 57 seconds. And Elliott of University of North | Carolina ran a mile in 4 minutes 21.2| seconds on a wet and heavy trac And he won by 75 yards. Had he been pushed he most certainly would have done better than 4 minutes 20 sec- -onds. Tate of Georgia. Roberts of | Georgia Tech and Smith of Alabama can beat 9 minutes 50 seconds in the Watt of North Carolina and | nsistently bet- ter tha seconds in the 220-yard low hur and two or three others can come below that mark occasion- ally. In the conference meet, in the rain, O'Dell of Clemson and Brady of Ken- tucky did better than 12 feet in the pole vault. Snider of Auburn, Cum mings of Virginia, Bridges of Louisi ana State and McPherson of North| Carolina are fine sprinters. Matthews and Endslow of Maryland are among the best middle distance men. Two or three men throw the discus more than 140 feet and put the shot around 44 feet. When the time for the next Olympic meet comes, the South will have some candidates. Take Elliott, for instance, who is én his first year of college com- petition, ye: can beat any other mile yunner in the East. Snider of Auburn is in his sophomore year, and as a 220-vard man he is a comer. Mat- thews of Maryland has a great future as a_quarter miler, and if he and Roy of Clemson take care of themselves they will go North to the mnext Olympic tryouts as two of the great- est quarter milers the country has. Cummings of Virginia has much the same form in sprinting that has Murchison, undoubtedly the greatest indoor dash man in the world. He has an apparently short, choppy stride that actually is long, vet in which his feet hit the ground with great rapidity And in comparing Southern sprint- with those of the North there is alw 2 possible discrepancy in dif- ference in_timing. In a quarter, half or mile a difference of a fifth of a sec- ond timing does not amount to mnuch, but in the 100 it means the dif- ference between a star sprinter, a great sprinter and only a good sprinter. In the recent Southern Con- ference meet three consecutive heats were run in 0:0.9 seconds. Those heats were fast, but whether or not they were that fast is a question. - 4 Last year Foster of V. M. 1. did 9.8 seconds in the Southern Conference championships, but later was beaten in much slower times. It has hap- pened in any number of instances where a runner did time like that and went into competition with Northern sprinters and got whipped in slower time. It may be that these runners have hit their peak and do not run so well again, but some are inclined to believe that the timing of the dashes in the South is just a little faster than in the North. The writer believes that comes in catching the yunner just before he hits the tape. Jt may seem an easy matter to catch a runner at the exact fraction of a t Clark Griffith Stadium. and it generally is believed that, with the efforts to be put | seventh to make the score Sall. | their ic field day, the major part of which is he Shrine and Grotto, is to be held Preparations are being made of those of previous years, and all know that stern Star Home. as a way of raising revenue for this Back in 1914 Robert H.

No doubt, watches held on Southern rinters are all right. 8ix watches aught Foster last year in the same time. Four watches all had the same time on thé sprinters in the recent Southern Conference meet, but it would have been interesting if the six men who faced the starter in the final of the meet at Chapel Hill could have faced the starter against six of the best in the North at the Penn relays. Catholic University’s nine, that ends its season today in a game with Prov- idence College at Providence, R. 1., was defeated, 8 to 1, by Tufts at Med- ford yesterday. The Brookland batter$ got but five hits off Shuman, two being credited to Foley, while Byrne was reached for 13 by the Tufts bat- ters. Catholic University did not score until the ninth inning. Georgetown, 9-t0-8 victor over Loyola at the Hilltop yvesterday, plays its last home game of the ar to- morrow when Mount St. Mary’'s nine will be entertained. The Baltimoreans gave the Hilltoppers a tough tussle, putting three runs across in the In batting turn in this inning, Georgetown shoved over the decistve tally. Each side used twe pitchers during the contest. WORLD MARK MADE | BY MARINE.SHOOTER| SAN DIEGO, Calif., May 19 (#).— Corporal Francis J. Shannon, United States Marine Barracks at Bremer- ton, Washington, has established what marine officers believe is a new world rifle range record. Shannon yesterday made 347 points out of a possible 350 to lead the fleld of 118 riflemen competing here in the annual championship competition for the Western division of the Marine Corps. ~ His mark is two points higher than the previous championship score for the standard United States regulation course. He dropped 3 points of the 50 in the 200-yard slow-fire event, turn- ing in possibles in the remaining six ranges at slow and rapid fire. .

Another interesting en- counter will be the meeting between Clarence Char:st and Gwynn King, ated for 4:30. Charest, the one-armed ar who won the tourney three vears azo, will match his experience against the youthful skill of King, one of the most promising com recently gradunited from the junior ranks. Two matches were completed 3 terday before rain checked operations. Bob Considine figured in a brilliantly fought battle in which he rallied with his back to the wall to take the match from Milliard Lewis, Western High School coach. Lewis had Considine —0 and 40-love in the opener before the latter found his stride. Fighting his way, point by point, he took that game and the next five in a row. Aft- er the score had been twice more tled up, Considine captured two straight for the decision. In the second set Lewis showed the effects of the long strain, and Considine outsteadied him for a 6—4 victory. Teo Nusbaum scored over W. Ben- ton, 6—2, 6—1, in the other completed encounte Drawings in the doubles will be made today, and play will start tomor- row, according to the committee. One match in the women's tourney is scheduled for this afternoon. Mary Hall will meet Jennie Doolittle in the semifinals. The winner subsequently will meet Corinne Frazier for the title. Miss Frazier defeated Beatrice Ziegler of Marjorie Webster School, 6—3, 6—1, in the upper bracket semifinal en- counter played off yesterday. ITALY DEFEATS HOLLAND AND WILL PLAY ENGLAND ROME, May 19 (®).—Italy’s tennis stars eliminated Holland from the Davis Cup competition when Baron de Morpurgo defeated M. Timmer in the first of yesterday's singles, 6—4, 6—2, 6—3. In the second singles, which had no-effect on the outcome of the tie, Van Lennep defeated Serventl of Ttaly, 6—3, 3—6, 6—1, 6—4. Italy will face England in the quar- ter finals for the European zone. NEW YORK, May 19 (®).—The State Athletic Commission has ap- proved a 10-round match between Stanlslaud Loyaza of Chile and Jack stein of Yonkers at the Queens- tadium, in Long Island City, BASE BALL SECRETS By Sol Metzger. To Catch High Ball on Your Right. b3 DO THIS NOT _THIS Many young players are unable to catch a ball thrown high to their right in the correct manner. Consequently, they miss some. Invariably, they take the ball on their bare hands. This frequently causes them to drop it because of the resulting pain. The right way to catch such a ball is shown by the player on the left in the illus- tration. He takes it on the pad of his glove and then traps it with his bare hand. The player on the right is taking such a throw in- \ team: K Men WILL be Comfortable. so they’re DE- strikes a string TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats EISEMAN’S, 7th & F MOTOR CO.

Four players have reached the semi-finals, however, and will compete for place in_the title round early next weck. Nancy Crayen Jones, Julia Yates, Mary Carolyn Henry and Alice Bowie are the four who still remain in the race. Miss Yates, ranking player in the school, is also a skillful horse- woman and rode Henry Stevens’ filly, Richmond Girl, in the local horse show this week. Her equestrian ac- tivities prevented play in the net event during the past few days, but she will get into action on the courts again Monday. Rain upsets the best laid plans of mice and men at times and yester- day was one of those times. Many outdoor sporting events were inter- rupted by the mid-afternoon shower, which made necessary the postpone- ment of the Majorle Webster field meet, the last two events of which were scheduled to be run off at 4 o'clock. ‘This afternoon, if old Sol continues to smile, Miss Webster's fair athletes will compete for honors in the broad and high jumps, which will be the deciding factors in the interclass track and fleld contests. As points now stand, the two classes are neck and neck for first honors. The victory will be a double one, as it will place the winning clasg in the lead for the athletic cup. The Seniors now lead by 2 points for this trophy. Beatrice Ziegler, holding two first places and tying for a third in the five events which have already been staged, is the Seniors’ hope in the jumping event. Trinity College mermaids will com pete {n the final meet of the season tomorrow night In the college tank. This meet is an allimportant event, as the winning class will receive five points toward the athletic shield and this number of tallies will determine the champlons, as Junior Sopho- mores and Seniors are running. a close race, The Junlors are now ons point ahead of the Sophs and the Senfors are close on their heels.
