CRACK ATHLETES
CONTEST TODAY
PARSONS WILL SHOW HIS
SPEED AT BERKELEY
California Representatives for James,
town Games to Be Selected
from Winners in Great
Track Meet

Amateur sportsmen throughout Cali
fornia are turning their eyes today to-
ward Berkeley oval, Which il to be
the scene OF the P. A. A. meet.
Los Angeles will be interested to
learn of the record ma e by Charles
Parsons, who left Thursday evening in
order to participate. Considerable dis
appointment has been manifested in
view of the fact that Dan Kelly, the
Oregon runner will be unable to COM
pete because of a severely sprained
ankle.
If Kelly really holds the marvellous
record of 3-5 for tho hundred yards,
battle royal should have occurred
when he met Parsons. The latter has
been running in AS repeatedly.
Before leaving for the north Parsons
said:
IT don't believe it does a fellow much
good to keep at this athletic business,
but would like to get that 8 3-5 mark
before 1 quit the track
The local runner has entered for the
100 and 1920 dashes, and if he is
pressed in either event viii stand bet
ter show of attaining his ambition.
Southern sprinters have given Par
sons no contention, and the fact that
he has made 8 4-5 hanGiiy g:ves rise to
hopes that he may clip the mark when
under fire.
California representatives to the
Jamestown exhibition games will be
chosen as a result of today's Berkeley
contests.
