Holland is the second member in
the history for the Xavier Club, who
will accompany the Olympic team.
Eddie Carr, the former ten-mile
champion, was the other. Over a.
score of the best members of the we'll
known Manhattan organization ac-
companied Hal to Boston last Sat-
urday, and 1t is expected hat at least
fcur timeSN that many will give him a
warm reception on his departure to-
morrow morning at 8 o'clock. Mr.
j. Mcdonald, president of the Ellis
Adding T~wypewriter Company, where
Holland is employed, has given the
local lad a two months leave of alb
sence. 1t is quite probable that i
big delegation from the factory will
also see him off.
Holland concluded his conversation
by regretting that Plat Adams, whom
Hal says would add at least ten
points to the United States in.the
Olympic, will not be able to accom-
pany the team owing to BUSINESS.
Holland says that Drew, the great
negro stopper, is the fastest mansin

Fails TO Knock Ont
Norman, but He's the Victor

Although over thirty years old and
out of the game for practically two
years, Jack Norman, of Paterson, did
we'll against the hard hitting Young
Howard, of Bayonne, in the main set
to at the Eleventh Ward Athletic Club
last night. Howard won-and by a
pretty good margin-but Norman's
willingness had him in right with the
big crowd hat was on hand. In the
third round, however. Howard landed
a short right on the point of Norman's
jaw, and as the bell rang the Passaic
mixer staggered to his corner and fell
on his chair. Howard would have
probably disposed of his opponent had
Norman not held during the last two
sessions. On each try to connect
Norman simply grabbed the Bayonne-
ties arms and chung until Referee
Billy Leary broke them. Norman was
surely satisfied with his work, as he
was all smiles at the finish.

Lovers of the athletic game in the
north end section of the city are JOY
full today over the announcement that
Hal Holland will make the trip to
Stockholm, Sweden, with the Ameri-
can Olympic team. The Xavier A. A..
of New York, of which club HAL is
a member, unanimously decided to de-
fray all expenses of the local lad, as
a result of his excellent showing in
the tryouts at Boston last Saturday.
AS will be noticed Holland vas the
only sprint man of the big New York
contingent who made a good showing.
Hal tells the following story about
his experiences last Saturday: MY
first race was in the 100-meter race"
he began, land, of course | had the
best in the land against me. l Won
my heat by at least nine yards, but
In figuring on my speed | decided to
hold myself for the 200-meter event,
and thus was not a competitor for the
semi-final at ITO yards. The track at
the Harvard Stadium is unlike those
in New York, and this probably was
the cause of the downfall of man, of
the cracks. 1t was of hard clay, while
we fellows here are used to a soft
einder or dirt track. Then, too, W.
u on a circular track here and this
point again bewildered us. 1t was q
straight course for the 100 and 200
meter races, and we were unable to
judge when to start to sprint, being
unfamiliar with such a course"
When asked to compare the college
athletes with others Hal said; The

behind the plate. 1t was reported in
local papers hat Wilson came from
the Giants but this story was a mis-
ta Ike.
Del Drake pulled down drives from
|Swacina and Zimmerman yesterday.
They were labeled extra base wal
loDs.
Doc Bernard will probably rest
today as he is indisposed. Bill Kay,
who finished yesterdays game in
right field, will cover right garden.
Swacina's throw to the plate in the
seventh cut off a run. Shean had
been hit when Lathers laid down a
bunt and Ryerson threw wildly to
first. Swacina recovered the ball in
right and shot 1t to the plate, cut
ting down Shean. When Swacina
does not get a hit the Tigers are not
winning. Ever take notice? Harry

GRENDA, JOE JACKSON OF BICYCLE GAME,
ANXIOUS TO BECOME AN EDUCATED MAN
Tasmanian Cyclist Would Be-
come an Architect and Hopes
to Attain Goal.

Alfred Grenda, the unlettered trea
chopper from Tasmania, who has
been knocking them off their seats at
the Velodrome for the past few
meets, is now the victim of an over
weaving ambition to become some
thing more than an athlete. Grenda
has it all doped out that he has
come from the place where peaches
have. the pits on the outside to q
place where education grows on
every bush, and he Is eager to get
his share Of the knowledge stuff
Grenda has gone further than that
and decided which bent he will take.
He wants to become an architect.
Grenda is no SLOUGH just for har-
boring that bunch, though.
1--WE got it all figured out he
says. when l start to go to school
this fall, I'll probably be the biggest
boy in the class, and the biggest
Ounce, too, but I'm going to stick II
it, and then when l complete my
course and come out able to enter on
an architects work, I'll have the
laugh on all those wise guys who are
telling me that'I I'm foolish now"
In his ambition the tall Tasmanian
is a second Joe Jackson, the Cleve-
land outfielder, who trailed the
mighty Tyrus Cobb in the batting
averages of the American League
last year. Joe came down from the
foothills OF Arkansas with a chaw
of. tobacco in his mouth n had to
make a cross when he signed his first
contract in organized baseball. Pretty
soon he rubbed shoulders with a lot
of college men, whose conversation
was away over his head. Joe did no,
get discouraged over this, out he is
now preparing to struggle with med
zeal terms and know the difference
between a femur and d compound
fracture. Joe dopes it out that when
the batting eye grows stale, n the
legs that once took him under the
flies grow weary, that he can hang
out his single and be a regular saw
bones, just as Teaches Cross pulls
half the teeth of New York's crowded
East Side on the strength of being a
box-fghter.
These shining lights of the athletic
ranks have garnered the knowledge
that Drawn Is less lasting than brain,
and Grenda is taking his tip from
them. Attenuated Alfred from the
Antipodes has the bug that he would
like to spend the long summer e
nings mapping out office buildings,
railroad terminals and spacious man
sions for malefactors of untold
wealth instead of being butchered on
a board track to make a holiday.
Newark looks like a pretty good
educational centre to Grenda. Grenda
m from a region where, when a
lad, he was SEN out to gnaw OIL a
couple of trees before breakfast, and
his education was largely shaped by
the tales he heard on daddys lap
of how the bolo men and boomerang
artists used to make walk1ng PIN
cushions out of the Oldest inhabit~
ants. This was a hard school for a
future great architect.
Taking him as raw material for the
knowledge factories Grenda shapes
up pretty well. He has a wealth OF
native shrewdness and a ~quickness
to grasp the fundamental points OF
any problem which will stand him In

through the necessary four years,
and he intends to arm the pile with
his little bicycle. This will give him
a big incentive to work. And he is
going after the foundations of the
Grenda family fortune right away,
opening up tonight at the Velodrome,
when he will ride in the two big pro
races. the sixth of a mile record trial.
and the two-mile handicap. in which
he n National Champion Frank l..
Kramer will be on scratch against a
field of thirty-four other riders.
The sixth of a mile will be the first
record trial since Grenda has been
riding at the Velodrome. and will give
him the needed opportunity to show
just how fast he is. He has picked
up q host of hackers, many of whom
claim he is just as fast as Champion
Kramer. Given a clear track and
racing against time tonight's event
will be the fairest possible test of the
relative speed prowess of this great
pair of champions, and they both
know it.
Grenda and Kramer will clash more
intimately in the two-mile handicap,
and they will have their work cut
out for them. The field will be strung
way out, with Ben Hill on the limit,
only twenty yards back of the scratch
mark. Cavanagh, the Irish cham
pion; Pete Drobach and Tricky Comes
will be the men right in front of the
two champs. The handicaps tonight
will be practically the same as those
in the three-mile race last Sunday,
so it will be hard going for the real
men. Further, there will be the lit
tie affair between Kramer and Gren-
da to settle.
A two-mile invitation completes the
pro events. This is a scratch affair.

PROVIDENCE IS
HARD TO BEAT
Tiger Machine Is Finding Rhode
Island Hill Difficult TO
Climb.
From a STAFF correspondent

PROVIDENCE, r. L., June 12.-
Messrs. Joe McGinnity and Vice
President George L. Solomon sen out
a requisition for a copious quantity
of sand this morning not the sand"
meaning grit; the Tigers are all sup
piled with that. The sand Newark
needs is the kind they use on trolley
tracks to keep the wheels from slip
ping. The Bengals seem TO be toll
ing on a slippery hill. Every time
they get started something slips and
they go sliding down again.
Handicapped as they have been by
accidents and injuries, the Tigers de-
serve reams of newspaper praise and
huge quantities of credit for remain
ing within striking distance of the
first division. One of these days
they'll gather enough momentum to
carry them over the barrier into the
first division, and, once there, 1t VIII
be a difficult task to dislodge them.
The league race might be kened to
a mighty machine that separates the
good from the bad by degrees. Joe
McGinnity has a, valuable chunk OF
ore under his name. and when it Is
thoroughly assayed it should be
ranked pretty high up on the list
values.
The Grays got five runs yesterday.
Whether or not they deserved all OF
them is another question, but the
Tigers could not get even n tally,
so what chance had Joe McGinnity
of winning his game? Providence
is last and needs games more than
we dc, but we rise to gemark at the
same time thai we can't afford to let
them fatten their percentage at our
expense.
How the Game Was Played.
Wilson opened the third for the
Grays with a hit to centre and reached
second on Shines sacrifice. McDer-
mott then hammered the ball past
Collins for the circuit. In the sixth
Shean. singled past Stark and took
second on Lathers's sacrifice. Perry
scored him with a double to right and
tailed himself when Sheckard hit
safely to left. With two down in the
eighth Atz hit a bag and sprinted
home on Wilson's triple over Kay's
head.

JOHNSON STRIKES
OFF SOME REFEREES

LAS VEGAS, N. M, June 12.-Jack
Johnson took a whirl at the referee
question yesterday when he scratched
from the list of eligible referees pre-
sented to him several days ago the
names of all but four. The remain
ing men are:
Edward w. Cochrane, sporting edi-
tor of the Kansas City Journal; Ed
ward w. Smith, Chicago; Jack WEIGH,
San Francisco, and Mark Levy, AL
.buquerque.
The four names remaining on the
list were to be submitted to Flynn to-
day, and he is to cancel one of them.
Then both fighters will get together
and name the head referee from the
three remaining names. The other
two men will act as assistants in case
of emergency.

NEW YORK, June 12.-Leach Cross,
of New York, completely outboxed
Jack Redmond, of Milwaukee, in a
ten-round bout last night. Both men
weighed in at 1856 pounds.
Cross had the better reach and
used it to advantage with a left jab
to the face and a right to the wind.
III the fourth round Redmond landed
a hard left to the jaw and a right 10
the wind, shaking his opponent and
causing him to cover up for the re-
mainder of the round. In the fifth
two lefts to the face brought blood
from Cross's mouth, but he r~etaliatod
with a left hook that cut Redmond's
right eye and which bothered him
for the rest of the contest.

NEW YORK, June 12.-An appeal
to the umpire for protection from
abuse by a spectator, this being the
first time a big league player has
taken advantage of the rule permit
ting it since the memorable Ty Cobb
incident a few weeks ago, was made
yesterday by Third Baseman Smith,
of the Brooklyn team, during the
Brooklyn and Pittsburgh game.
The incident occurred during the
fifth inning. when Smith complained
to Umpire Owens of what he claimed
was abusive language being used by
a spectator in one of the boxes. Be-
fore Owens had a chance to appeal to
the management the spectator point
ed out by Smith left the grand stand.
