GREAT TRACK MEET To
BE IN NEW ORLEANS
(By Hal Dexter.)

What promises to be the greatest
and most representative champion
ship track meet that was ever held
In this country is the one which will
take place at New Orleans on October
il and Is.
For the first time in the history of

wondering what the ultimate effect
Will be on southern athletics, The
athletic association OF that city are
Sparing no pains TO make the event
huge success.
In former years when the national
championship events were held in the
east very. few clubs, outside OF New
York and New England contingent
competed, At this year's meet en-
tries have been assured from every
section of the country and San Fran
CISCO will have as many athletes at
the games as New York and Boston
The opening gun in the campaign
for entries was fired when James F.
Sullivan sent out the official entry
blanks for the games The meet Will
be held on the Tulane University ath-
leuc field. which is being put into
shape by the committee In prepara-
ton for the big races. All OF the
modern improvements Will be In
stalled. so that there will be no kick
coming from any OF the visiting ath-
letes.
The Southern Association has de.
cided to give the $4,000 which was
raised TO help perfect arrangements
to the national body to distribute
among the clubs throughout the coun-
try that Will send athletes worthy OF
consideration to the games This com
mittee is made up OF two men from
New York. Boston and Chicago. and
representatives OF other associations.
A strong team is being mustered by
the Chicago A, A. which will include
such stars as Craig, the Michigan fly
er. HorDer OF the same school, John

Mr., and Mrs. a r. Haywood re-

The party has been visiting Hcidel-

OF Germany, and had spent number

In commenting on the more inter.

BASEBALL DIAMOND
PUZZLES STUDENTS
(Bx Dudley Porter.l

W0en the original designers OF a
baseball diamond made the distance
between the bases ninety feet they
put q problem TO the coming genera
ton that for forty years has puzzled
the brains of the greatest students of
the national game.
And 1t appears that these men have

belts of Brooklyn says the game is
still in Its infancy.
The pioneers of tho game of baso-
ball little knew on what fine lines
they were figuring when they fixed
the distance between the bases Tho
distance was based on their c,rcula-
tions as TO how long it would tako
q batted ball to be fielded and thrown
TO first base.
The speed of the runner was also
taken into consideration. The accu-
racy OF their calculations is proved
by the fact that they have not been
changed one iota since the first game
was played by the old KnIckcrbock-
ers on the green's around New York.
As the runners developed I'm speed

with Little. a try-out twirler from the
Lake. in the box In the first and
fourth the new man permitted too
many festivities with the ball and
was withdrawn after the fourth and
the more dependable Toner climbed
upon the mound.
Toner was assisted by Helmle, a
steam shoveler, who catches like a
hay rack and apparently needs oiling
In his major joints, but nevertheless
he received without an error and
got one hit His throws to second
and first were superior TO Lumley's

some practice and grease Helmle Will
make a valuable adjunct TO the local
team.

Judge George G. Armstrong in the
district court, asking for an extension
of sixty days time In which TO serve
and file bill of exceptions This
motion was granted and there will be
TO double execution September 9.
In any event, yesterdays action in
the case will give Riley few months
ruore on earth, inasmuch as the sixty
days granted yesterday Will not ex.
rire until more than a month after
the date originally set for the execu-
tion. Then, as tho case is to 90 to
the supreme court. 1t will mean an
other month or more before Il Is
known whether a new trial Will be
granted In case now trial should
be ordered, Riley has possible
chance of getting off with a life SEN
tence This chance, however, is re-
earded as extremely remote.
Gives Change Of Venue.
Riley, In company with Harry
Thorne and "Curley" Morgan, killed
George w Fassell. grocer. while
they were robbing Fassells store on
the night OF March 26. 1910, Both
Riley and Thorne we're arrested the
same night, and both confessed to
the murder. the confession of Harry

On account of delays when Judge T.
ID. Lewis suggested that the attorney
for Riley apply for a change or venue
because the confession of Harry
I'horne had been published In the
Herald Republican, the trial of Riley
lasted two weeks. and 1t was not until
juno % that a verdict of guilty was
rendered.

hey for Riley. was allowed an extern
sion of twenty days in which TO pre-
pare and file a bill of exceptions. At

0tory to an appeal to the supreme
