Cornell triumphed | overwhelmingly in capturing the . team honors with a total of 451-2 points, but it had to yield a 'great measure of the glory of victory to Ted Meredith, Pennsylvania’s and the world’s most wonderful athlete, who . won both the quarter and half mile | races, the former in time equaling the | record of forty-eight seconds and the ' latter in one second outside of the intercollegiate record of 1:53 2-5. Meredith, by accomplishing this superb feat, did what was believed to be humanly impossible. But the Quaker flier showed that it was pos- Meredith to Lower Marks sible and, pitted aganist the finest and fastest fields that ever lined up for a start, he won both races with what seemed to be consummate . ease. Never before had mortal man done within the space of ninety short min- utes what Meredith did, and it will be full many a day before the achieve- ment is equaled. Meredith was elect- ed to captain the 1916 track team im- mediately after the meet. There are many who believe he will make a wonderful record for himself—one that will always be remembered by Pennsylvania men. Meredith has not definitely decided as to whether he will compete in the various meets in New York this summer. Upper illus- tration shows Meredith winning the 880 yard run at the intercollegiate meet. TY COBB SCORES | ENOUGH TO WIN Geargin Sineak Stals Everything Not Spiked Down.

The. firm- ness, permanence and otherwise im- mutable nature of this lead was such that the Red Sox stayed in front all ! the time after it had been established and defeated the Yankees, 7 to 1.

An Owners Viewpoint. Colonel Joseph Lannin, proprietor of the Red Sox, figures the American league race a 83-33-33 proposition among the White Sox, Tigers and Red Sox. “There’s not enough to choose,” he sald, to establish any opinion that isn’t most guess., Chicago and De- troit are both far better than for several years—and the Red Sox soon | will be as they are now, pointing to- | 1 ward their normal stride.
