weather during the past week had ten
dency to drive the few remaining indoor
| athletes in some of the gyms out doors.
| Those who had the courage to continue
| indoor work will 10 doubt feel the better
| for it, for at no season of the year does
one need gcpd regular exercise more than
| at this time.
| With this season Genes that heavy slug
/ gish feeling from which one can obtain
the best relief by taking exercise to open
| the pores and take all the kinks out OF
| joints and muscles.
The outdoor season promises to be an
| unusually active ore, the more so since the
Columbia Athletic Club has announced its
intention TO give open handicap outdoor
! games about the latter part of June. The
spirit of rivalry in this sort of work is
very great, and the lew material that has
come out since the last open games here,
! over two years ago, comprises at least lone
comer' in each event, and the Older ones viii
| have to continue to do at least as well
| as on their last appearance.
! 1t is unfortunate that the Carroll In
stitute has not good athletic grounds upon
which to develop track and field sports.
| IT has the maternal, but lacks a place to
dGvelop-it The same condition of affairs
applies to the Y. NJ G. A.
lNTERCoLLEGE GAMES.
Nearly all the colleges who oproposemaking
entries in the Mott Haven intercollegiate
games have held theirsprng championships,
the winners OF the several events of each
to go to Mott Haven for the college cham
pionstips.
Most OF the work done at these games
| during the past week was only fair, but III
nine sets of games held three records were
! broken, which, for so early in a season,
| speaks well forthe work. The championships
on the 25tb at Mott Haven will bring out
some remarkable performances on track and
| field
COLUMBIA ATHLETIC CLUB
Athletcally speaking it is indeed dull
at the Columbia Athlstic Club
But little is being done at the gym. and
| less is being done ION Columbia Field, be-
cause OF the unfinished condition of the
field ana track, but which Prof. Crus sIey
| promise Will be completed during this
| week.
Everything points 10 successful bicycle
! meet on May 80 and the committee holds
frequent meetings TO work up the details,
arrange the prize list, and other details.
On account of the large number of entries
| pronis ed the prog farnme Will be arranged
to run off the trials in the morning and the
finals in the afternoon.
What has become of the annual baseball
game between the Longs" and ''Shorts?"
| Will IL be played this season?
