With the big meet In which the Yale
Harvard and oxford-Cambridge track
and field teams recently competed for in
ternationai honors, the regular outdoor
season for the star class of competitions
may be said to have closed.
The finish of the Baltimore Athletic
Club games at Baltimore last week and
the meet OF the Metropolitan Association
of the A A. u. next. week, and of the
Atlantic Division, A A u, October 26,
are the last of the series at this end of
the country.
The season has not been prolific of new
records. Indeed, ver,' few new marks
have been placed with the official record
er of the Amateur Athletic Union or the
intercollegiate Association of American
Amateurs
This lack of new records must be at
trbuted almost, II not entirely to the
fact that both track and field men, those
that are now in the game. have reached
their limit, especially in the former line
of sport. and 1t is question if any of the
newcomers-and none now appear on the
horizon-will be able to do better than
the time that now holds in the 20. 60, T5
100 and 30 yards as fixed by owen, Vef-
ers and Duffy.
The latter, at last Saturdays A. A. U.
meet at Louisville for the fourth time
this season. equaled the world s record of
9 As seconds for the 100-yard dash. At
this same meet John Flanagan. formerly
of the N. Y. A c., and now a member
of the Irish-Arlericans Athletic Club, of
New York, broke his own record Of I69
feet inches in the hammer throw by
throwing the implement 40 feet 5-S of an
inch. He also broks his own worlds rec-
ord of lis feet 8 inches in the discus by
scaling it at 11s feet IA inches. This is
winding up the season in great fashion,
and will give the A. A. L. record official
something to do, after all.

the man who will be looked to to show
new marks in the jumping events

In the event that the committee ap-
pointed for the purpose finds that salts
factory arrangements cannot be made
about the Baltimore end of the inter-ctty
basketball and baseball leagues, spoken
of last week, then the local teams will
form league which will be composed OF

ran Cadets. and Arlington Wheelmen
with either the Mortons or Capron Cadets
as the final teams.
F. w. Moore, manager Of the Arling
tons is very anxious for membership
in the inter-city league. If 1t is formed,
and promises to put in strong baseball

Carroll Institute Gymnasium.
The interest Of Carroll Institute mem
bers will this season be divided between
the gymnasium classes and the basket
ball and indoor baseball teams. Last
yeaf it was sought 20 encourage the gym
nasium work only and the team games
were rather a side issue. This season,
however, each will have an equal show,
but the games will not be allowed in e1y
way to interfere with classwork and body
building exercises.
Especial interest is being taken by the
members In the development of the base
ball team which viii represent the In
stitute in the inter-city and local leagues.
Several practice games have been played
with local teams and the players have
shown up well. The team and substitutes
will probably be about as follows: Jnck
Johnson, Stokes Thompson, Jack Shee-
by. Dennis Sweeney, Smith. Ciary. Atz,
Harding. Murphy. Bayley and McNalley.
