games held by Johns Hopkins University
at Baltimore, last week were open only to
Maryland athletes, and being SO informed
at the last moment, Manager ulius Walsh,
OF Georgetown Varsity, did not take over
his string of athletes. sprinters and run
ners, as he intended doing. The great
attraction of the meet was to have been
the relay races, open TO all college teams,
but in this, too, the hustling manager W as

star team was to have run-the Harvard
varsity team-declined to meet any team
in an indoor relay race. 1t seems very
strange that "Pennsy,' which has the
reputation Of fearing none, and willing
at all times to meet all comers,

another of Manager Collins wise moves

getting out his team for that affair, and
