900 ATHLETES To
BATTLE AT PARK
Public Schools Meet Difficult TO
Forecast by Reason of Many
Ordinations
By HERBERT HAUSER

Today will be an eventfuT one for
the grammar school lads of this city,
for it is the day of the annual track
and field meet of the Public Schools
athletic league Some 500 lads from
every section of the city will be headed
toward Golden Gate park from early
this morning until late in the after
noon. At 10 o'clock the preliminary
heats will be promptly started by Ref
cree Sidney s. PieXotto, and at z p m
everything will be in readiness for the
finals.
Though the Croker grammar won
the big outdoor meet of last year, they
met with defeat in the final indoor
contest in November. The new Croker
officials have held a number of try
outs, but have found it difficult to NIL
numerous vacancies caused by grad
uation. These losses have made the
boys more determined than ever, and
if training and hard work counts
Croker should be away up in the point
column. The team will be strongly
supported by an organized band or
rooters under the leadership of Sanford
NJ. Moose.
The John SWEET grammar team, in
door champions of the league, have
also lost quite heavily. Steuart Laist,
varado the 100 and 40 unlimited
champion; Frank and Ned Daugherty'
Will Hearst, and all but one member
of the champion unlimited relay team
have graduated. To take the places
of these lads the school is figuring on
Abe Langendorf in the so pound %
yard; Arthur Bowlan, the so pound re-
lay captain; Herman Kurtzmann. 80
pound high jumper; Will Schmidt, 20
pound 220 yard runner; George Hop
per, lis pound 20 yard dash, and John
McKittrick in the unlimited half mile.
Pacific Heights, which has always
been a strong contender, is going to
make a bid for first honors.
The Spring Valley grammar is an
other school that is looked upon as
a dangerous contender in any of the
league contests. Like several of the
other leaders, the school has lost heay-
lily through graduation. Nevertheless
% husky little athletes have entered
the meet.

COPPERFIELD, AT
20 TO |, BREEzES
Son of HandbaH Gains Early
Lead i'm Fourth and Is
Never Headed

Long shots were in evidence at
Emeryville yesterday in three events
but the success of two favorites and a
second choice helped the talent to some
extent.
One of the biggest upsets of the aft
ernoon came in the fourth event, when
Copperfield landed at odds of 20 to 1.
The son of Handball had proved a dis
appointment on several occasions re-
Gently and he was allowed to recede
while Colbert and DR.. Downie received
the bulk of the support. Van Dusen
took Copperfield to the front early and
he was never in any trouble, winning
cleverly from Colbert and Wap.
After Pacifico at odds of 5 to / gal
loped home in front of Lovely Mary
and Schmooser in the first race there
was great demonstration in honor of
Owner A. K. Moropoulos. All season
Moropoulos, who is a Greek, has been
trying to win a purse with Pacifico and
he has been the object of much joking.
When the Emperor of Norfolk gelding
finally landed his owner was very
happy and he was quickly surrounded
by cheering crowd. The ovation con-
tinued for some time after the finish
Collector Jessup proved the best of
the field in the second and, closing
gamely, won by a head from Charles
Green, who was well supported. Anne
thyst the favorite, tired and was third.
Miss Naomi had no trouble in defeat
ing the field in the third. She led Mike
Jordan by over three lengths at the
finish. Cock Sure, who did not have
clear sailing, was third.
There was an upset in the fifth, for
which Rosamo was heavily played
favorite, going to the post at 9 to 10.
Kirschbaum was of little assistance
and he was beaten by Biskra and Mol
lie Montrose, two outsiders
Titus II was an easy winner Of the
last going to the front at the start
and leading all the way. Cantem beat
Jillett for second place.
