A, the mem- bers of the Nutmeg quintet have every reason to feel proud of the record attained. Starting the league season with several players of an inferior brand, the boys under Captain Charlie Miller made a gallant try to keep up with their faster opponents. Along toward the end of the season. Eddie Seigrist and Steve Dudack were'added to the Solomon, Pickop and Miller trio, and immediately the other teams —_— ) White at the fifth, but won the sixth , Peterkin, went skip and jump and mile run. The prize for this is the award of the late President Yuan Shikai replica of the | famous ten widows' arches in. a Chinese temple, each representing one of the athletig events, There will also ; e a swimming meet-of nine events, a twenty mile bioycle race, tennis tour- naments, baseball jzames, association football, basketball and volleyball. Jay Weakness, Japafi’s weakness is in the track and field events that require form, such as the hurdle races and the pole vauit. The Chinese and Philipinog have had the advantage of long coaching in foreign schools for these events. The edge is given Jipan in the bicycle race and also the tennis tournaments in which Kumahae will compete. The victory in tennis will be decided} on percentage rather than elimination. In baseball Japan stands an équal chance with the Philippines but in association foot- ball has no chance as the game is little developed. Valleyball and basketball are also conceded to the other eountries as they have met slow encouragement. In the swimming events Japan expects to take the honors. From the foregoing it will be seen that the teams are to be nearly evenly matched and Japan will be nearer to the fore than at the last meet. When the European con- tenders lay down their arms and an- nounce another world’s Olympic- it is expected that the East will have a say in the medal awards. Noted Men Interested. Marquis Okuma is honorary presi- dent of the Far East Athletic Asso- ciation, Professor Kano, director of the Tokyo higher Narmal school, is president. Professor C. Takeda, an old Tokyo Imperial University athlete, and Dr. S. Kishi, are vice presidents; Elwood 8. Brown of the Manila Y. M, A. is secretary-treasurer and Franklin H Brown is honorary contest secretary and adviser to the contest cammittee, which has charge of the whole affair. Ground at Shibaura is being pre- pared for the track and fleld events and such contests. The track will be a quarter mile cinder. In China a fund of $15,000 will be raised to meet the expenses of the team, of this sum the committee will ask the govern- ment tor $5,000. RAIN HALTS GOLFERS Torrential Downpour Causes Cessation of Activities at Pinehurst—Carter Playing Poorly When Time is Called Pinehurst, N. C., April 6.—A heavy’ rainstorm drove every one to shelter for the outset of the second round of match play in the North and South championship tournament at Pine- hurst yesterday, and although the sun soon shone again the round had been postponed in thé meantime. Phil Carter had a bad start in his match with W. C, Fownes, Jr. He lost the first two holes and was down at the fifth. He won the sixth and seventh, however, and was 1 down when the match was stopped going to the eighth. F. W. Dyer was 2 up on W comb at the seventh. Maxwell was 2 down | A.

Slater; Pickop, c; Solomon, 1. g.; C linton, r. g.; Miller captain, r. f.; Dudack, Lf. realized that the green N. lads wel to be feared at all times. The record of the team shows that of ‘the eleven contests played, victories were secured. Of these the Pioneers and Kenilworth fell on the last meeting of the quintets. The All-Stars, the best that could be selected from the league proved easy picking for the Nutmegs. Much of the credit for the won- derful finish of the team is due to the work of Dudack, Solomon and Sei- grist. The former, a clever forward scored many points for the team, while “King” Solomon and Seigrist manager; s\ented. Selgris®, were rated as two of the best defen- sive players in the league. Pickop at the speed which made’ him famous back in the state league days. The complete record of the Nut- {megs for the season is hs follows: | Nutmegs 20, Pioneers 35; Nutmegs 10, Co. E 13; Nutmegs 38, Vikings 22; Nutmegs 18, Kenilworth 27; Nutmegs | 26, Ploneers 38; Nutmegs 32, Vikings | 26; Nutmegs 27, Kenilworth 30; Nut- :megs 23, Pioneers 21; Nutmegs 41, i Vikings 28; Nutmegs 62, Kenilworth :20; Nutmegs 41, All-Stars 20. just before play stopped. E. C. Beall led Robert Hunter by 3 up at the fourth hole. The feature match in the first beat- en eight—between John C. Anderson and Paul Gardner—was interrupted at the fourth, where Gardner was 1 up. RANGERS WIN Y. M, C. A, Bowlers Go Down Twice on Actna Alleys Before Superior Work of South End Lads. The Rangers club whose activities on the alleys have been rather limited of late, signalized the return to the Aetna strips last evening by handing the Y. M. C. A. bowling quintet a beating last evening. The boys from the South End got away to a start when the Christians defeated them in the first game, but in the art { of c. b. the Scotch settlement lads showed they are proficient. Hogan featured for the victors, while Jack- son performed in similar capacity for the losers. The scores: Rangers.

Ehmke, who started for Detroit was an enigma to the Giants most of the time, but, with the advent of a young man by the name of Jones, the |- Polo Grounders began to use bats and were creeping up to the last trench at the finish. The game was sown with some of ithat truculence which marked the {vattle of Dallas. After being nearly i beaned twice by Ehmbke, Helnic Zim- merman tossed his bat at the offend- ing pitcher, but being unfamiliar with the workings of the boomerang. i Heinie missed by several yards, and charged with a strike. With the score 6 to 5 in the minth, {there appearcd a chance for a rally 'in which the Gianis might forge right | through.
