which ought to cover the sum allowed
Arnst for expenses. This would GER
tainly be good year for world IS
championship match. and sportsmen
are hopeful that Barry will accept the
offer made by Arnst. Naturally he
must go on with his match with G.
Fogwell of New Zealand, but as Bar
rvs career cannot last many more
years two more races this year would
not be out of place.

The English baseball season opened
Saturday and it is hoped the corona
tion match, English Us. Americans.
June "a will do much to boom the
great American game.
Queen S club has been settled on as
the venue for the Yale Harvard VS..
Oxford. Cambridge athletic contests
July 6.
The fact that we are likely to see
another trial of strength between
American and English collegian ath-
letes this year is pleasing. At the
present it is not known whether Ok
ford will join Cambridge in opposing
Harvard and Yale, but the Contabs are
bridge certainly has two exceptional
runners in Mcmillan and Baker, who,
between them, ought to beat the vlsi-
tors at any distance from 100 yards
TO one mile.
If. however. the Cambridge men
meet Harvard or Yale in July it may
also mean that Mcmillan and Baker
will be fit to turn out for the United
Kingdom in the Festival of Empire
sports.
The arrival of NJ j. Ryan, winner
of the Hamilton Marathon race, ac.
companied BY j. J. Hayes, the 1908
Olympic Marathon victor, has
given further impetus to the

do well. H. F Barrett (holder) and
j. Sims are the two most prominent
of the English entrants. The holder
has been doing well in his training.
and in a recent trial beat his 1909
winning performance by two minutes.
This improvement is partly due to Bar
rett having used a contrivance to be
worn on the nose, which enables an
athlete TO breathe. as nature intended,
through the nostrils. To be able to
keep the mouth shut during race is
great point, but not one athlete In a
thousand does it naturally.
Hayes had not been in London long
before he made it known that he would
like to meet some British Marathon
professionals. ", T. Clark, who was
twelfth in the 1908 event, is willing to
try conclusions with Hayes, but the
American says he wants to run the
full Marathon journey. He also thinks
match with Dorondo would draw, but
nothing definite has been arranged.
Hayes will have chance Of running
the Marathon journey if he sends his
race towards the end of June. 1t is
hoped that Hans Holmer and e. Bou-
chard wilP renew opposition in this
race, and after his recent five per-
formanees in New York the joining in
of w. Queal would also give much
pleasure.
One of the best English turf writers
has this to say of the famous American
horse, Adam Bede, derby entrant;
