everybody was glad to be able to get a
good nights sleep before going into todav,s
double header with the Athletics. Manager
Mack and his crew also arrived from Cleye
land yesterday afternoon
Both managers had hard-luck stories TO
tell this morning when seen by an Evening
Star reporter, the weather being the chief
cause OF complaint Manager Cantillon is
somewhat appeased over his clubs showing
in the west. as New York won only one
more game than the Nationals on the trip
and played three more, and the Yankees
had the best showing of the eastern clubs.
."The fact of the matter is that our pitch
ers did not stand up as well as they should
said Manager Cantillon. Il mean by this
that Smith. Falkenberg and kitson failed
to deliver the goods, while Hughes and Pat

men been able to cop but one game apiece

Mike Kelley reported to Cantillon again
this morning and was the first player out
at the park and the first in uniform He is
anxious To get down to his playing weight
and true form and practiced hard for three
hours. He stopped over in Cincinnati yes
teTday to see President Hermann OF the
national commission. and after a couple
hours talk continued his way to this
city. President Hermann assured Kelley
that his case would probably be settled in
side of three or four days. and that he
would doubtless be given full liberty TO pIay
with the Washington club.
All the players are old acquaintance of
Kelley's and he is certainly among friends

It may be stated without reserve that no
set Of track ard field sports in this country
ever attracted the attention that Is now
being conferred on the thirty-second annual
intercollegiate championships to be held in
the Harvard stadium on Friday and Satur-
day Of this week. Not only is every col
lege man and schoolboy in the east vitality
interested in the results, but the entry OF
the western intercollegiate champions from
Michigan has aroused the whole middle
west. and this section. in spite of the late
unpleasantness with Michigan. is roofing
for the Wolverines to win.
There has never been another year in
which the competing athletes were Of such
uniformly high ability as this year. This
does not necessarily mean that records

present high marks were all made under
exceptional circumstances. But 1t VIII be
strange indeed II one or two records are
not bettered and several others given very
close shaveS. To thoroughly appreciate
the extreme difficulty athletes encounter in
setting up new intercollegiate records 1t Is
necessary only to study the present records
and the number Of years they have stood.
OF the present thirteen records only one
has stood for twelve years, this being the

ANNUAL MEET

Judging from the large number of entries
the annual meet Howard University

eel in attendance and in highly credtable
performances the meet Of last year. Ath-

in the dashes and Williams in the high
jump will be hard to better. 1T seems GER

Three Colleges Favored.

AuISo SO1AoSSS CdVOIcO.
The critics are agreed that the 81 900
championship trophy will be won this year
by Pennsylvania. Cornell or Michigan.
Which one it will be no one dares to pre-
dict with certainty. Harvard, Yale and
Princeton hardly have a chance with these
three. Track athletics are usually more
uncertain than base ball. and although
scores Of tables. showing how the meet
should result. have been made out by
coaches. athletes and critics, no man living
can hope to pick even all the winners There
are so many colleges and athletes to enter
| into the calculation that the making Of pre-
dictions Is a dangerous thing. Even last
year. after the preliminaries had been held
the critics and coaches were much be-
wildered as ever. and not one man in ten
looked for the sweeping victory which Cor
II predictions could be made upon the
records of the athletes as recorded this
spring there Is no doubt that most Of the
experts would be willing to award the meet
in advance to Pennsylvania But the
strength of the Cornell team has been kept
so carefully concealed that it would be both
unwise and impossible to attempt to FORE
cast with any certainty the number of
points Cornell is capable of scoring. The
same Is true OF Michigan. though the
Wolverines have shown what they can do
on more occasions than has Cornell.
To get down to some of the sure things,
Cartmell. the Pennsylvania flyer. duplicat-
ing his victories OF last year in the 100 and
22O-yard events. Last year Whitman also
of Pennsylvania. was second to Cartme1l in
both these races. but the Quaker captain
has shown Unexpectedly poor form until the
last week. and he will be lucky indeed to
get one-half the points he did in 1905
Rulon-Miler of Princeton. who has been
doing ten seconds consistently this year, is
picked for second in the short dash. while
the last two places will be hard fought be-
tween Gamble of Princeton. third last year:
Read of Amherst. Young Of Syracuse, Lock-
wood of Harvard, and Stewart Of Cornell
In the 20 yards. giving Cartmell first, there
will be hard battle for the remaining
points between Dodge of Harvard. Whitman
of Pennsylvania and Young of Syracuse
Dodge has shown slightly better form than
Whitman or Young. and the men are likely
TO finish in this order. AS was the case
year ago, six men will start in the finals Of
the two sprints and this will increase the
uncertainty.
In the quarter mile J. B. Taylor of Penn
sylvania, who has not run since 1901 when
he established his present record of 40 Is
seconds. Is picked to win. That he is rum
ming better than ever was shown last Sat
urday, when he loafed through quarter in
PENIS interdepartment games in 40 1-5 sec
onds equaling his record. Rogers. the win
ner of last years quarter. is picked for Sec
ond place by Cornell, and II he Is in the
form of 1906 this ought to be easy for him.

In the untimely death of Arthur Henry

love seeks an immortal support; in the
persistence of love and longing TO meet
the loved again. the poet argues that
death Is only temporary loss:
But in my spirit will l dwell.
And dream my dreams and hold il true,
For though my lips may breathe adeu,
cannot think the thing farewell
At the foot of the white marble cross
which his wife placed upon the grave Of
Charles Kingsley are craven these
words:
I'VE have loved. we love, we shall love
