ATHLETIC NEWS AND NOTES.

The representatives of the South Allan
tic Association did not show up quite as
well as was expected of them ih the jun
Tor events of the national championships
which were held at New Orleans Friday
AFTERNOON. Gill and Horrax were incl
igible for this class. so did not compete.
The other member Of the South Atlantic
team Jack Sterrett, should have won the
event had he been in his best form. His
record of eleven feet six inches would
have given him top honors by one-half
on an inch. Anything close to his record
would have given him the place. AS it
was. he landed third. with a vault of
eleven feet to his credit. Henry c. FL
phinstone of the Baltimore Cross Country
Club took the trip on his own account
and showed up very we'll in the five-mile
run. taking third place from big field
The Washington Grove Athletic Club
has just finished successful year, the
clubs Golfers showing big financial
gain and it's athletes having made a
cleanup in Montgomery county. In base
ball the Grovites made clean sweep,
landing the championship. It's representa-
tives in tennis captured the title for dou-
everything in sight, including several
South Atlantic championships. Alonzo
Tweedale, one Of the officials Of the
Treasury Department. has just been
elected to the presidency, succeeding DR..

1t has been annouced that a new scheme
will be tried with the Grove track team
next year. The idea is to make it an all
star combination. to be limited to eight
men. From this eight the relay team will
be selected. and the other four men will
be entered in the individual events. In,
case the men picked for the eight do not
get in condition or do not show up as
well as some of the other members of
the club they will be displaced and the
best man not on the team will be given
the vacancy. 1t is figured that by adopt
ing this plan the men will keep in better
condition and will take more interest in
their work, while the men not on the
team will have something to work for.
At the start Of the season the following
men will probably be named as members
of the team: Capt. c. E. Smithson.
Adams. w. B. Young. B. NJ. Hildebrand,
Jack Sterrett and Pete" Herring.
1t was certainly hard luck that
leans DEAL The junior event was won
with p feet s1s inches. "Mugsy" jumps
that far every morning before breakfast
just to scare up an appetite. There is no
doubt that he would have won the
event. In the championships of 1908,
which were held at Travers Island, N.
Y, he took second place in this event,
and it has always been his ambition to
win 1t. He expects to get it next year.
His record of 23 feet ranks up with any
in the country just about now, and
should he be able to come anywhere near
it he should win next years meet.
Badly" Brame is considering taking
up the running game again. In 1908 he
was one of the best men on the George
Washington University relay team, and
he should still have some good races in
him. He will again represent the Buff

The South Atlantic delegation to the
annual meeting of the national body of
the A. A. Il. has been instructed to ask
for an Interpretation of the rules gov
erning protests. There has always been
some doubt as to how these rules should
be construed. and consequently this sub
ject has caused lots of trouble at diff
ferent times.
