JACK WARNER QUITS.
Ex-Tiger Leaves Galveston, Tex. Club
and Man Who Backed Him Is Sore.

GALVESTON. Tex. May 4.Much to
the regret of everybody connected
with the game IT begins to look very
much as IL the Sandcrabs will be out
of the Texas league or transferred to
some other city before long. Jack
Warner has baked on a bad deal and
skipped the country. James j. Nor
ton, who was Warmers hacker. says
he does not want the franchise and
states that II is for sale TO the high
est bidder Pitcher Slater has jump
ed the team and gone to his home.
Norton is quoted as saying that the
only interest he has in the team is
his Endorsement on the back of War
ner's notes and that he wants nothing
to do with the business. He states
that he may go TO Oklahoma City to
find out what shape the team is in
and in the meantime he announces
that If there are those who want to
get in the game they can see him for
so much cash, but 1t will take cash
and not hot air. All he wants is the
$1,000 he loaned Jack Warner. and
when he gets that he is ready TO quit.

HARVARD MAY BAN :
HAMMER THROW
Danger To Spectators One OF the
Main Objections To This Ancient
Form of Testing Strength.

BOSTON. May At looks al pres
ent as II the hammer throw would be
the next sport 10 be abolished at Har-
ward. The primary cause. as In the
case OF basketball and fencing. Is lack
OF sufficient interest by the under
graduates 10 keep II alive.
The hammer throw Is an event
which, from its dangerous nature. ne
cessftates that II should be held In
remote places distant from any appfe--
ciable number OF spectators. ham
lner throw before a large number or
people under existing conditions would
be a very great danger, to life and
limb.
As a result OF the necessity for pull
Ing of the hammer throw in out-ofthe
way places. spectators seldom see
what is going on. The undergraduate
naturally loses interest in what he
does not see The sport suffers from
lack of publicity.
Very few men come out for the ham,
mer throw at Harvard. even after
much urging. Those who come out for
IL work hard for many weeks. and re-
ceive almost no appreciation for their
work. Publicity would no doubt In
crease the popularity OF the sport all
around. The sport must be held where
IT can be seen from the regular seafS
To make this possible. and at the
same time to spare the spectators
from the danger from flying weights
is the big problem. One solution al
ready suggested Is the erection OF a
net TO catch the weights before they
become dangerous.
IL is said that at the Travers island
grounds OF the New York A. @. safely
for the spectators Is secured by a
stout wire netting. There the hammer
throw is very popular.
II is thought that IL n net Is con.
structed at the open end OF the sta
dium. with the throw outward. with
fairly expert men handling the
weights. no other events going on at
the time. that the throwers will do
better. the spectators will see thrilling
performances without any DANCES.
more candidate will come out for the
event. and what Is really fine sport
will be rescued from abolition at Har.
ward
Failing this or some other remedy.
IL would seem that the hammer throw
would have to walk the plank as an
athletic event at Harvard.

Moriarty's trouble is undoubtedly
due TO that same ever-enthusiasm IN

the reputation of being 4 rather in

Youth vs.. Middle Age
IN d bigds l1aIathon

DO middle-aged or young men
possess the greatest speed and
stamina? This question doubt
less will be decided June IL
when the Roy Wheelmen. Inc.
OF New York hold the first bi-
cycle Marathon on Long Island.
Middle-aged men have been
figuring so prominently in ath-
letics i'm recent years that the
question seems hard TO answer.
However. Emile Girard the
Nassau-st restaurateur. is OF
the opinion that middle-aged
men can more than hold their
own with the Younger element.
and so sure is he OF this that he
has offered a case OF wine TO
the first rider over 30 years OF
ago who completes the full dis
lance OF 26 miles 3SJ yards.
Mr. Girard also has wagercd
500 with Val Valiant. the man
ager OF the race, that OF the
starters in the contest. a great.
ct percentage OF riders over 30
years will finish than riders IN
der this age.
