Everything is in readiness for the
annual championship events OF the Cen
trail A. A I. this afternoon at Marshall
field. under the auspices OF the Chicago
Athletic association. The meet is ex-
pected to bring together more college
stars than any other event Of this char
acter held IN the west for several
years The First Regiment. University
Of Chicago, and c. A. A. are among
the leading clubs to seek the team
championship. Coach Wilson of the
First Regiment squad viii have large
team in the field, and has figured that
his men will be able TO carry home
the point banner. He has speedy ma
teriaI IN his relay team and should
make the Cherry Circle squad run in
record time to capture this event. The
University of Chicago is looked upon
as sure place winner with such stars
as Lightbody, Merriam. Iddings, and
Jacobs Lightbody is against a fast
field in the distance runs, and while
il is not thought probable that any
one viii be able TO clip the honors
from him, it is expected that he Will
be compelled to show record time to
capture the prize. Merriam viii be en-
tered in the quarter mile as well as
the hurdles, while Iddings and Jacobs
will be the Maroon representatives in
the jumps and pole vault Lazear and
Watson Of the University Of Illinois
are also looked upon as possible point
winners. Harvey Blair, the ex-Ham-
mond high school sprinter, will run
unattached in the 100 and 220 dashes.
All enthusiastic baseball fans should
turn out tomorrow to see the locals g &,
| up against the Chicago Edgars. The
| Chicago Edgars have the reputation of
being one of the best semi-pro teams
in Chicago and have made a remark
able record so far this season. In the
| former part of the season the locals
won from the Edgars by the score of
| 2 to 0. Last Sunday the Edgars played
| the LaPorte team a fifteen inning tie
| game, and the Sunday before the Ham
mond bunch won. from LaPorte by a
| score of l to 0. Figure out the dope.
Manager Randall said this morning
that his team was confident of putting
it over the Edgars again tomorrow.
Joe Longs Colts so far invincible this
season and practically undefeated. will
meet the w. B. Conkey team tomorrow
The little aggregation of colts have
| been putting up a class of baseball this
/ year that has been uneQualled by any
| of the other young teams. Clarke and
Elder will be in the points for the To-
Gals Sunday against Kaine and
| Munster
Chargined by two defeats at the
hands of the Maps, Manager Jones is
determined to take today's game. Two
straight defeats at the hands of the
| Maps seemed to put crimp in the Sox
and the team has begun to wear the
down hearted look. If Cleveland wins
the worlds champions drop to fourth
place. If the Sox win and the Athletics
lose. the Sox will jump into the second
position by one point. Jones, in Civ.
ing an explanation of their two sue
cessive defeats at Cleveland, said tha
the Maps fielding was too much fol
the White Sox. THE work of thu
Cleveland f1elders is nothing short o
marvellous" said Jones, but neverthe
less we will come back home with tn,
pennant safely tucked away Manage
Jones is said to have declared that thi
is his last year of baseball There i
already much speculation as to tn
next years manager and the name o
Billy Sullivan has been submitted a
his probable successor.
