rectOrs Rideout and Beckett. and the in
| dications even now point to a widespread
| interest
| Mr.. Beckett has a request from the
| Baltimore Athletic Club. through b. Mer-
rill Hopkinson, to add a 56-pound weight

| Baltimore, and Wilmington Y. NJ C. \
| The splendid showing made by the as
sociation's entries in last weeks George
town games reflects credit upon Mr.
| Beckett, who had the runners in charge.
1t was expected that the local Y. NJ c.

| timore association, but it was hardly ex-
| pected that it would win so easily Each
man gained something on his lap and the
! Orioles were never in il.
| The Juniors too. made a great showing
and the youngsters flying around the track
was somewhat of a revelation TO the au-
dience. The three teams Of youngsters
entered were SO clc sely watched that in
their trials day or two before the meet
/ there was only one-lfth of a second be-
tween them.

brighter. All the players OF last years |
