WILD JOY OYER
THEIR VICTORY
Chicago Is Enthusiastic While the
Wolverines Have Sore
Spot.

Chicago, June 5.-The national college track
championship wouIv go to the University of
Chicago tear We're the maroon conference Vie
tors to meet the eastern champions this year,
according to the belief of Coach A. a. Stage.
The maroon director declared yesterday that the
showing of his men in Saturdays meet entitled
them to be classed unqualifedly the greatest
team in the country, and capable of capturing
the United States title in addition to the west
ern championship.
Chicagos chances of winning the conference
next year are regarded bright by Stage,
altho the maroon team will lose the services
of six men, three of whom totaled II points
Saturday. If the western pennant remains in
the maroon camp, he is satisfied that Chicago
will hold the national title next year, in case
the talked-of meet between the eastern and
western leaders is arranged. If this contest
is not scheduled by the college authorities it
is possible that Stagg may take his team east
for dual meet to decide the honors.
"Our team this year is the greatest team
the west ever produced without a doubt" said
Stage. II believe it could defeat Cornell, Yale,
Harvard or Pennsylvania in dual meet. The
marks made Saturday certainly compare favor
ably with those hung up in the eastern inter-
collegiate. Six of records were better
than those made in the east, and the others were
very close. Chicago alone bettered four marks. "

High Speed Sets the Motorists to
Gossiping Other Auto
News.

The Pence Automobile company received the
first stevens-Duryea car for the season today.
1t is a popular car in the east, and has been
victor in several contests.
The road from Shakopee to Excelsior Is re-
ported to be In poor condition, and chufers who
nave passed over 1t say that the sod from
the side has been plowed up and heaped in the
middle The road from Minneapolis to Shake
pee is good.
Warren Walker, who made the wonderful run
to the lake with Mayor D. P. Jones, believes
that the high speed developed by the Locomobile
is partially due to the fact that the electric
connections are make and break instead OF the
jump spark This does away with any chance
OF shutting the spark plugs. The make and
break connection is common in foreign cars.
There were seven people in the car, and each
one swears that the went six miles In six
minutes Probably there has never been run
made in the city which has stirred up SO much
discussion. Some Of the 1ncredulous have de-
cided to measure the distance, and there were
at least, twenty cars over the distance an
