RELAYS THE FEATURE.
National Guard Games on March IS
Promise Much Sport.

That the indoor games to be held in the
National Guard Hall on March 2s. under
the auspices OF the National Guard Ath-
letic Association. will eclipse any meet
ever held in this hall is now certainty
Capt c. E Edwards. who is managing
the meet. is booking relay races. which
are TO be the features Of the meet. II
plans carry. the feature event OF the
games will be the two-mile champion
ship race between the BloomingdaIe and
Guriey teams Of this city and the McCul-
Tough A. c. Of Baltimore These teams
have long been rivals. especially the
Bloomingdales and Gurleys and this race
is bound 20 attract considerable atten-
ton. The Gurley club has a number OF
men that are good at the quarter mile,
and as they have not yet entered any
men in distance events in the meets this
year. il would be a hard matter 10 dope
out what they may do.
The Bloomingdales. who make a spe-
cialty of distance running. do not fear
the outcome of the race. II is probable
that they will have on the team the two
crack cross-country runners who will run
in the Johns Hopkins cross-country run
Saturday. The Bloomingdale club will
also have two other relay teams in the
meet, as well as number OF individual
entries in the open events
The National Guardsmen, who are
training hard for their annual meet, are
in good trim. and in the trials 1t is ex-
pected they will turn out fast bunch Of
athletes.
Entries are coming in fast, and from
present indications this meet will have
one of the largest list OF entries ever re-
ceived for a similar event
Prohting by the example Of other meet
managers, Capt. Edwards viii have off,
Gals that will keep the floor clear all
during the progress OF the meet.
