they could stand. without really decId-

The fact that the SuIlivans have been

dicate that the affair Will prove a big
success.
While 10 Is trihe early TO figure
On The number Of entraL-I, yet f. is a
safe prediction that Washington will
see one Of the biggest cards ever wit
messed at an outdoor meet. As Wash
ington has not seen any open outdoor
games for long period. the last big
meet having been given under the aus
pices OF Georgetown University for
the benefit or the crew. on Labor Day
four years ago. the local athletes have
taken 20 the events with readiness.

School Boy Run.
Another novel feature OF the day VIII
be the 1000-yard run for the school
boys This event is popular in the
North, but is not so wei known here.
There Will be a determined effort TO
get out the middle distilnce men and
the mllers to compete In this. The
distance is just 40 yards over the
half mile and the outdoor record is
held by the famous runner, Lon Meyers,
who went the route in 1881 at New
York on an outdoor track IN two min
utes and thirteen seconds.
The indoor record WIS made, and
is now held by Melvin Sheppard, who
at Madison Square Garden in NoVem-
Der 1906, tTaVerSed the distance I'm two
minutes and seventeen and fOur-fifths
seconds. Considering the dill- renee in
time this indoor record Is really
wonderful piece OF work. The manage
ment will make every effort 10 allow
some of the local boys 10 take a try
at this distance. The high schools
have some ambitious youngsters, and
this number should bring out the best
that the educational institutions can
offer.
Seitz May Compete.
A strenuous effort is being made to
secure Charles Seitz. the indoor cham

that he Will be entered in the sprints.

Perhaps for the same reason that no

because they are not supposed, not

boys efficiency would be spoiled and
the interest he proyokes as a phe.
