CHAMPIONS ABLE TO WORK
OUT IN REAL STYLE.

Manager Frank Corley, of the Rich
mond college track team had look
Tuesday at the Broad street baseball
park, where he expects to run a big
South Atlantic track meeting before
Spring goes by. While not over SAN
guine of an unpreceGent success, Cor
ley thinks that the meeting will be far
more important event than generally
expected.
The Richmond manager has gone
about the meeting in the proper man.
ner. He has seen to 1t that there shall
be no question of its amateur status.
He has asked the permission of the
South Atlantic division of the Amateur
Athletic Union to hold the meet, and
only waits the sanction of that body
to complete his plans.
The track athletes had an opportun-
ity to do some real work Tuesday.
The weather was ideal and the boys
were able to cut loose. Coach Haga-
man. however, kept a watchful eye
upon all and saw to ii that none went
beyond the limit.
Richmond will be able TO put a fair
all-round track team in the field when
the meeting Is held, and even II the
boys are unable to defeat the pick OF
the athletes of the South they will
give a good account of themselves.
The boys OF McGuire's school, and
the Richmond Academy squad had a
good workout Tuesday and during the
rest of the week they will be put
through special course in prepare :
ton for the indoor games at the Y. NJ
c. A. Saturday night. These juvenile
athletes are making surprisingly good
showing.

New Park for Colorado.

Washington.-The President is eX-
pected to designate the Monument Ma
tional park in Colorado upon the re-
port of special agent of the land Of
flee sent there to investigate. The
new reservation embraces tract OF
about 500 acres lying between Pali-
sade and Grand Junction, containing
palisades and peculiar rock forma-
tions. Representative Taylor took
the matter up with President Taft
some time ago and the secretary of
the interior requested the general land
office to send an agent there to inves-
tigate. The report is expected danly
and 1t is believed will be favorable.
1t is stated at the Interior Depart
ment that President Taft concurs in
the views of the new secretary OF the
interior that Congress in granting the
Fort Lewis Indian lands to the stat4
of Colorado did not intend to convey
to the state the coal underlying. The
President, it is stated. will recommend
to Congress the enactment of legisla-
tion to make explicit the intention of
Congress to conserve teh coal under
the lands for the use and disposition
of the general government. Should
such legislation be proposed it is the
intention of all of the Colorado men,
bers of the House and Senate to op-
pose its enactment the grant of the
lands to the state in their opinion hav-
ing been entirely unconditional.
