GALLAGHER REPRESENTS
YALE IN G. j. meet
Former Brown Prep Star En-
tered in the Open Mile
Race.

Johnny Gallagher, who. while men,
ber of the Brown Preparatory School
track team, was considered the greatest
schoolboy athletes in America, will wear
the dark Blue Of Yale in the Georgetown
meet to be held In Convention Hall the
night of March 2. This announcement
was made by Manager Jack Kingsley
yesterday morning. just before departing
for Richmond.
No schoolboy athlete is better known
around this section of the country than
Gallagher. as he has competed In not
only practically all Of the indoor meets
in this city for the past three years. but
has also taken part in many outdoor
races. Gallagher is considered to be one
of the greatest distance runners among
the youngsters now In college. He Is
freshman of Yale, and will be seen In
the half and mile runs. Gallagher will
be pitted against some of the classiest
distance performers in college and club
circles-athletes who will later fight for
places on the American Olympic team
which goes to Stockholm.
In either the half or mile will be seen
men from nearly every big college in the
east. including Yale. Princeton, Cornell.
Virginia, Georgetown. Hopkins and Car
Isle. besides the numerous entrants from
various athletic clubs. John Paul Jones,
the Washington boy. and worlds record
holder. who will start from scratch in
both of these races, will undoubtedly
find some stiff opposition. and these two
distance events should prove the most
attractive that has ever been held In
Convention Hall.
The scholastic race will most likely be
a four-team affair. The schools whict,
have informed Manager Kingsley Of their
intention Of entering this event are West
ern, Tech. Central and Georgetown Props.
This race has all the Indications Of beins
one OF the closest seen on the local nooY
this season.

The sixth annual tournament OF the
washington City Bowling Association VIII
be brought to q close tomorrow night on
the Palace alleys, when the last scheo-
,,ied squad of doubles. that start at 9:4S
o'clock. finish their set. That the tourna-
ment has been q success Is the generai
opinion Of all those who were entered In
the different events. Handicapped from
the very first by a display Of indifference
upon the part of the bowlers themselves,
the ofYicials are to be congratulated upon
the manner in which they succeeded In
interesting the men to such an extent as
to enter the tourney.
To the veteran head Of local bowlers,
"Pop' Meyers. and Secretary Jimmie
Field unstinted praise should be given. as
1t was mainly through their efforts that
the tournament was put under way.
While the tournament has one more
night to run, the championships in the
three classes for five-man teams have
been decided, and the results show that
tho Saengerbunds are leading the class
A uuinrs by a comfortable margin. In
class B the Nationals and Carroll Insti-
tute finished with the same number OF
pins for their set, 1854, while the Scu-
manns of the Saengerbund League will
champions of class C. Excellent pinning
on the part Of Capt. George Shaffer and
Pop Hartmann pulled the German rep
resentatives to the top of the ladder.
There will be q meeting of the executive
committee next Wednesday evening.
when the distribution Of prizes will be
made. President Chase has issued a call
to every tenpin bowler In the city to be
present, as 1t is planned to set q date for
next years tourney. and plans for max
ing 1t the largest in number OF entries
that has ever been held.
An intercity match that will cause
more than passing interest will be rolled
at the Palace alleys next Wednesday
night, whe nthe crack Palace tenpinners
tackle the famous O. G. 'O6s Of Baltimore.
The Washingtonians met the Monumental
city representatives two weeks ago. and
had no trouble whatsoever In winning the
set. The Baltimoreans claim that they
were caught or their stride, and are
coming over with the full determination
Of showing the local knights q few points
on how the game will be rolled. Whether
they will or not remains to be seen. Har-

Here's hoping all six teams enter the

The Fairmonts and Meridians won all
three games from their opponents during

could do was to get the odd one from
Kenyon.
With only one more class c team to

much as though Goodman and Caldwell
will win the championship in that class.

class c bowler. We fail to see it when
he turns in totals Of 153. 174 and 199.

All over Mrs. Darlington sighed
under her breath. But to Duffy she
said. 80 .Jackdaw can't lose?'
Not unless he breaks a leg" assert
ed the bookmaker in his enthusiasm
I've got the SWEETEST bet on him ever
had. And I'll tell you what I'll do.
He leaned over her and with leering
eyes and shortened breath continued: :
Ten thousand of it is yours, and you
don't have to pay if he loses. What do
you think of that?"
Mrs. Darlington tried to peer over his
shoulder to catch Il glimpse of the
horses who. We're nearing the stretch
Its very kind of you. indeed she
answered him aDsentmindedy.
That's nothing to what I'd do if we
We're real friends" he insinuated.
The beat of the hoofs drew his atten-
ton for an instant
Hello. They are coming into the

why not?" she cried, pressing closer
to him to see Wildfire running easily ut
.Jackdaws flank.
Say, you're all right I'll make that

before they heard the story which
Duffy was spreading industriously that
Mrs. Darlington owned the Duffy
stable
Duffy, foiled and beaten, had left the
stable vowing vengeance upon the
widow for the loss of his small for
tune and the blow which she had
given him. He realized that if DR..
Woodhurst ever knew that Mrs. Bar
rington was interested in racing sta
BILE he would break the match at once.
Duffy tried to reach the doctor at his
home by telephone, but received no
reply to constant ringing of the bell.
At the dinner table to his companions
he related the story of Garrison being
in love with her and buying a horse
to beat the favorite, which she owned.
BY hints and innuendoes he started
the news, but did not tell why CARR
son mad bought the horse and that he
had schemed to have the race thrown,
Mrs. Darlington appeared at the din
her table that evening as serene and
beautiful as ever. She had hurried
home Immediately after the episode in
the trainers quarters and locked her
self in her room for an hour. When
she rejoined her friends she was in
full command of herself, as she
thought, for any emergency. However,
many incidents We're to happen in the
few short hours before the lights of
| her home would be turned out
After 4inner Bud brought Mrs. Bar
ringtcn a note from Donovan
Seating herself at her desk, Mrs. Bar
rington read:
Have IL swell offer for Wildfre, but
must see you before closing sale. That
race today has sent our prices up to

'Oh, Mr.. Duffy she futtered
Just to oblige me. l got splendid
reason he urged, With smile.
"Oh, very WE'LL" she acquiesced,
moving to his side. And now what?"
she begged, leaning toward him.
Looking into her eyes and i'll voice
laden with the deepest meaning, he
answered her, Anything you like"
Then tell me who is going to win
this race?" she asked, anxiety almost
betraying her.
The query was not what Duffy had
expected, but he felt that he would
have to humor her, She had under
stood what he intended to convey and
was only playing with him.
There's nothing to it but. .Tackdaw,"
he told her.
II thought Wild6re was the favor
ite?"
"She is, but Jackdaw will win Just
the same"
This was the last blow to SKATER her
hopes. What Bud had told her was all
true. The favorite was to be beaten.
not because she was not the best entry,
but in the interests of blacklegging
hoekmakers And John Garrison was
one of them. 1t could not be true. He.
of all men. to associate with such Il
degrading crew as, she thought, were
leagued against her.
lis Mr.. Garrison as sure as you
are?" she almost whispered
Duffy was standing with his back to
the window with his arms out
stretched. his. palms resting OH the sill.
He appeared to be hiding the racers
from her. AT her question she realized
that he could implicate her friend in
the deal and pay off the score of the
last encounter. He felt that she would
never speak to Garrison again after
hearing of his crookedness. Had she
glanced into his face or caught sight
of him biting his lips to keep himself
from betrayal, she would have realized
that he was lying.
Eated at his success. he answered.
II should say he is! Why. he's got it
all framed up. That's the reason he
bought Jacktaw this morning He
can't lose | tell YOU
Mrs. Darlington grew faint when she
heard of the teachery of Garrison as
narrated by Duffy. Again she heard
the cry, They're off," A mutiied roar
swept over the field from the grand
stand Steadily it grew into cheers as
Jackdaw swept TO the front
They're of this time for fair. cried
Duffy. In less than a couple of min
utes. 1t will be all over He watched
the horses for Il moment keenly. His
plans We're worked out to perfection
Chappy was. riding according to the or
ders he had received.
