SELECT TEAM
MAY co EAST
Sufficient Money on Hand
to Send Three Athletes
to the 0lympian Games
MEN WHO ARE ELIGIBLE
Two May Be Chosen From
Dole, Plaw, Dunn, Cadogan
and Snedigar, the Sprinter

The officials of the Pacific Athletic
ing the sending of representative Cali
fornia team to the Olympian games at
the ST. Louis Exposition. The first an
nouncements from St. Louis last year
were to the effect that the Exposition
management would pay all travelling
and living expenses of athletes COM
peting there.
This was followed by another an
nouncement that the finances of the
Exposition were so involved that no
expenses could be allowed athletes 1t
WAS thought the California COMMITTEES
could lend some support, but the de-
mands upon it's resources were so great
that it was unable to do so.
After several entertainments the Pa
cific Athletic Association officials have
$500 on hand. This would pay for only
three men, whereas it is desired to send
between seven and ten. If three are
sent Dole of Stanford, with his worlds
record of twelve feet one and thirty
two hundredths inches would surely
go. Plaw, the University Of California
hammer thrower, would also be Sc
Iected. He threw farther than $50 feet
at his first attempt last Saturday but
it was void, as he just stepped outside
the circle.
Third place is said to rest between
Dunn of Stanford and Cadogan and
Snedigar of the University of Cali
fornia. Snedigar has covered the
hundred in ten seconds and has
jumped twenty-three feet one inch
Cadogan and Dunn can run the "220'
in twenty-five and three-nfths seconds.
They are both clever quarter -milers.
If complete team We're sent, Hall OF
Oakland High School would surely go
for the high jump He cleared six feet
in competition last Saturday and is
pronounced the best high jumper on
the coast.
Miller of the Bakersfield High School
is another recently developed wonder.
He ran the mile last Saturday in
4:39 As. the fastest time the distance
has been covered here in some years.
Miller showed excellent judgment.
although competing against seasoned
campaignerS.
Hagerman of Occidental College, Los
Angeles, is another possibility. He
cleared twenty-five feet two inches in
the broad jump. which is a meritorious
performance.
1t is hoped some opportunity may
present itself to have all these athletes
sent to ST. Louis. but the hope seems a
forlorn one at present.

and seventy yard handicap at Oakland
yesterday, after stumbling to his knees

pacemaker, and Modicum.
While the former horse began to
show signs of firing, Veterano is a

journey begins to stretch out, and in
a hard drive he took the measure of
Forest King by a head. Modicum, the
Burns handicap winner, was third.

winners, and he repeated the perform
ance yesterday. Joe began with drop
ping Eva D in winner of the first race
and followed with taking the two-year-
old scramble on Sea Air. His next
win was with Veterano, and in the
concluding event on the card the little
New Yorker landed G. w. Trahern in
front.
The track was slow and heavy, and
four public choices were dethroned. The
usual crowd viewed the sport
Resigned went to the post a mild
favorite for the Introductory sprint
and was beaten out easily by Eva D.
The latter filly ran several fair races
at Los Angeles, and the heavy going
was just to her liking. Well handled
by Jones, she won by four lengths.
Miss May Bowdish finished in the show.
