Chinese Runner
Speedy on Track,

Interest in track athletics among tho
colleges of the middle West this season
is centered in the work of Mo Chung
Tsai Chinese boy. who is appearing az
a Varsity contender under the coIors q,
Washington and jefferson College in
Pennsylvania. The speed displayed nv
the young Celestial in preliminary and
indoor meetings has caused the Ameri.
can sprinters at the various institutions
to take notice, and the prediction Is free.
~ made that the Chinese runner will
show his heels to a majority of the
Americans with whom he races during
the coming season.
TSai had his preliminary training at
Washington and jefferson Academy. but
has always been modest and never tried
for first team honors at the prep school
Attention was first attracted to his work
during the last winter in the W and I
gymnasium, when, on the indoor track

he covered the 100 yards in a little over
IL seconds. which is considered fast 90
ing on such a curved track. Physical
Instructor Dr. Il. F. Kirchner immedi-
ately began to instruct the Chinese boy
and he has developed into one of the
greatest runners that ever entered the
college lists in this section. In a recent
indoor meet at Pittsburg Tsai took three
frStS out of four starts and showed such
class that he was instructed in the final
event not to let himself out to the limit

much as possible.

ings than ever before in the middle West
and Dr. Kirchner says he expects his
Chinese protege to keep the team well to
the front in all the meetings TSai will
be entered in all the sprint distances. He
has also been practicing at hurdling and
it is predicted that he will show the way
over the barriers to many of the crack
runners against whom he will appear this
year
The young Chinese is u natural runner.
He is Is years old. well set up, of aver

FANS OF TODAY FAIR.
Ball Game Crowds Not So Rsbd as in
Former Years.

Arlie Latham was discussing base
ball of the past and present day the
other day in New York. and he re-
marked that crowds are fairer now
adays than they were Is years ago. I'm
these days the home people want to
see their home teams win Just as much
as they used to-" said the oldtimer.
but to see u good contest is much
more of reason for their going than
it used to be. The crowds are two to
one bigger than they were they know
more baseball or ought to, and they
are more generous in their applause
and appreciation of the work of visitors
as well as the home team.
In the great growth and spread OF
baseball in recent years this attitude oi
broader craftsmanship on the part oi
patrons is one of the attendant devel-
opments. There isn't the desire to
fight and abuse the umpire that there
once was, and there is more sympathy
for him on the whole and regard for
his position"
