He beat Etruscan “a block. That day Etruscan was practically an even money choice with Compadre, with the wisest of handicappers puzzled as to which one to play.

It was on the skilful- ly guarded Garden City lUnks in the amateur championship of 1913 that Oulmet first mado his bid for nation- al prestige. The Brookline youth, practically unnoticed in the rush to see how Jerry Travers, Chick Evans and other prominent stars perform, came near winning the qualifying round, @ sensational burst of form by Evans beating him out. Further along in the tournament Ouimet fell a victim to Travers, who eventually captured the title. At the time Trav- erg predicted a wonderful future for his defeated adversary. This predic- tion came true just three weeks later at Brookline, when Oulmet defeated Vardon and’ Ray in the memorable play-off for the national open cham- pionghip. It is possible the match Saturday will be the last for Oulmet for some time as it 1s expected his contingent from Camp Devens will shortly sal! for the other aide. F. _H.

There Is mo| doubt that 90 per cent. of Evander's victories were due to the sterling per- formances of Hirshfield in the box and Jordan at bat. Hirshfield, one of the greatest schoo! boy twirlers in Greater New York, is responsible for most of Evander's vic- | tories, While many a run was scored by Jordan's mighty bat. Without these two youngsters Evander, in stead of being the leading team in thelr division, would be lucky to get fourth place. ‘Tho same conditions are true about Clinton, Though the Red and Black have one or two fair players besides De Stefano and Stack, they would make a sorry showing were these two to be lost to the 59th Street team. As it is, they are now fighting for premier honors in the P, 8, A. L. tournament. Over in Brooklyn, Manual without Juceam tn the box, is a much in- freshman team Harvard has had ina long time.

De Palma wants to be placed on scratch in this 100-mile classic aud has made such a request of Promoter William H, Wellman, Thus far Louis Chevrolet, the Speedway champion of 1917, 1s the only driver of the twenty or more who are scheduled to start in the big race who has received an as- signment at scratch. It is because of his victory last vear that the French. man has been given this disadvan- | tage, De Palma contends that he is just as good a driver as 14 Chevrolet, even though the latter holds the record for the track in @ “century” race which | he made in the Harkness Gold Trophy last September before a crowd of be without the services of their star twirler Hageman, the prospects for a championship would be lessened 60 per cent, Every one of these young- sters is doing much to boost their school’s won column Every year New York schoolboy | stars are gobbled up by some college or other, In most cases it is the out of town college that gets the cream of these future greats.
