ATEST NEWS= FOUND FLOATING IN HUD PPED BOY ON NT, OFF NYAGK BRONX SCHOOLS WIN THE PALM IN ATHLETIC MEET Boys From Above the Harlem Run Up 28 Points—Nearest Competitor ’ Totals 23: By Robert Boyd. In point of the number of competi- tors, the nineteenth annual track and field events of the Public Schools Athletic League of Greater New York, to-day on Brooklyn Athletic Field, in Flatbush, was the greatest athletic meet ever held in the United States. More than 2,800 boys from the ele- mentary schools took part Nevertheless, under the capable di rection of the officials and the co- operation of the boys, everything moved smoothly. Event followed event with the regularity of clock- work. About 10,000 enthusiastic spectators rooted from the crack of the pistol in the first event to the close of the final contest. The boys of Public Schoo! No. 37 in the Bronx swept the card, winning a sufficient number of events to total twenty-eight points and beat out all the other schools in the greater city by a decided margin. Brooklyn and Queens and Rich- mond fell down badly, Manhattan School No, 10 finishing second, with twenty-three points; No. 62, third, scored twenty-two points; No, 184, fourth, had 18 -nints; and No. 169, fifth, had 12 points. While. no elemegtary school lotic records were broken, there hax never been a meet in the history of the P. 8. A. I. that produced more | spirited contests. Outstanding among the hard fought events were the un limited weight class 100 yard dash, with 1% entries; the unlimited weight class running high jump, and the 880 yard unlimited weight class and 440 yard 115 pound class relay races. The 100-yard dash was won by E. |Paraeo, of P. 8, No. 8%, Manhattan; FE. E. Liebman, P. 8. No. 169, Man hattan, was second, and A. Gorogo- rich, P. S. No. 72, Queens, was third.

By William Abbott. GARDEN CITY, June 11—Grant Peacock of the Cherry Valley Club led Gardiner White, Nassau, by two holes at the end of the first round in the thirty-six hole finals to-day for the Metropolitan gdlf title, over the Garden City Club links. White, veteran of many hard battles, was visibly nervous and unsteady. Pea- cock, practically a new comer in big tournaments, was steady to the point of being deliberate, He carefully studied and rehearsed every shot be- fore making it Peacock was helped by @ rare oc- currence that happened on the long sixteenth, Tho hole in actual play was divided, each taking five strokes. Just before driving on the next tee, White discovered he had played dif- ferent ball. Players, officials and spectators went baok to the sixteenth and a search found White's ball buried in the rough near the green. A golf rule covers playing a wrong ball with the loss of the hole, Pea- cock generously wanted White to re- play the hole, be ficlals ruled that White lost the hole hecanse of the error, ‘The golf played by both Peacock and White was below Metropolitan standard, Conceding holes was al- most a habit as both finalists were guilty of novice-like work escaping from trouble. Peacock on the thir- teenth especially was in bad, A sliced drive fell In the rough, which was es- pecially troublesom The young Cherry Valley star, after only going 30 yards in four wallops, picked up his ball in disgust Because of these frequent poor holes the medal scores suffered, Pea- cock was 87 out; White 42, Peacock was always in the lead. At the turn he had an advantage of four holes. His veteran opponent player, how- ever, continued to plug away and cut this in half at the end of the round. Both negotiated the first hole winning 4 to 5, when Peacock wi the short second ovér a wide gap holed an eight-footer for a birdie two, The third was halved in regu- lation fours. White sliced into trouble on the long fourth, losing 6 to 6 The noxt one was halved, Peacock making a clover putt, On tho alxth, White, slicing badly, was atl in the roug on his third whot, Haolng his oppo tent on Becond Page.) the tournament of- | once in person to the Secretary ef Mr. Denby’s action was taken with- out waiting for a reply from the officer to the Secretary's cablegram asking whether he had been correctly quoting as attacking Sinn Fein sym- pathizers in the United States in a speech delivered in London this week. | Admiral Sims had announced that he would sail for home from England om June 15.

SIMS STILL SILENT ON HIS MESSAGE Admiral Says Reply ‘Is Between Secretary Denby and Himself —Contents Withheld. LONDON, June 11.—While his ree Ply to Secretary Denby has been for- warded by cable, Admiral Sims flatly refuses to reveal the contents of his message. He said simply: “It was my duty t reply to that cable. That, of course, is a matter between the Secretary of the Navy and myself, and I cannot make any comment on the actual message.” Commenting on Sims's Tuesday speech, the Pall Mall Gazette, a strong Government organ, said: “There are few American politicians who are not obliged to dabble in the dirty traffic of the Irish vote; and the storm Admiral Sims provoked by hia candid references to that merchandise blows from every quarter, The Ad | miral, however, is undismayed, and | stands by his opinion of ‘nyphenatos* and those who curry favor with them,” ASBESTOS PAPER NEEDED TO PRINT DANIELS ON SIMS.
