Incidentally, it might be mentioned that
the record made by Eller Saturday night
is apt to stand for long time. The 5th
Regiment Armory track is about the only
one in the country on which hundred
yards straightaway can be secured. and
consequently if the record for the 1OO-
ward hurdles is broken 1t will have to be
by somebody on the track in Baltimore.
Nobody in this section can beat the mark

The greatest showing Of the season
was the work of the Division Athleuc
League champions in the struggle lot
city championship honors in the ilsht
and heavy weight classes. Thaddeus
Stevens School heavyweight quint won
top honors in that class and the STE
vens lightweight only at the last mo-
ment succumbed to the splendid play OF
the William Garrison boys at the last
game Birney School Of the thirteenth
division, Banneker School OF the
twelfth division, Mott School OF the
eleventh division and Stevens School
of the tenth division won honors In
the heavyweight division series. Ban
neker doomed up as the strong con-
tending force that had the chance to
wrest the victory from the last years
champions, and all but accomplished
their aim. The score Of to in TWEEN.
ty-four minutes play tells the class or
the contest. Richard Johnson, Gin
ton Young John Maddox, William Wat
kins, Augustine Parker. William Peter
son and Richard Greenfield, were the
members of the championship team.
The Individual efforts and team play
were unequaled and the form displayed
was a revelation to those who constd-
cred elementary school boys not wise
enough to grasp the system of team
play in the highly developed ganI1z.
Dr.. Gibbs, principal Of the school, is
responsible, with her teachers, for the
school spirit and pride that has de-
veloped such a unit-group of splendid
SDOrtSmen.

Had to Fight Hard.

Starting with simply desire to have
a team, the Garrison School quint
fought good fight to land honors and
succeeded. Miss Boston and her teach
ers put forth every effort to develop
and support quint and deserve the
greatest praise for the results. To
Ralph Green must be handed a great
deal Of credit for the actual play Of
the team and, next to Coach Joseph
Holland of NJ Street High school, his
individual play and efforts for success
were the chief elements counting for
victory on the floor. In Stevens they
met the best drilled squad Of their
opponents who were near their weight
and after a hard battle came out on
top. Had the boys Of Jones' School
been heavier another result might have
been the case. but simple skill could
not offset the lighter weight Of the
Jones squad. Members of the winning
aggregation were Capt Ralph Green
Mayner Garner. Edward Scott. Miller
Lewis, Oswald Williams. William Jack
son and Beverly Carter.

The former record for the 1O0-yard
hurdles was made on the same track as
was that accomplished by Eller. The
mark of IL seconds, which was lowered

Virginia, who is now coaching the Rich

! The Georgetown relay team has the
that any four representing the school has
had since 1908. The quartet which ran
for the Hilltoppers in the Hopkins meet
did not show at its best. and yet it ran
the mile in fast enough time to make it
absolutely sure that it stands a fair
| chance to win when 1t lines up against
the Orange and Blue aggregation next
week.
Providing the track in the armory In
Baltimore was not short, the time made
by Georgetown, which was 3.39 %. in its
race against Richmond College was ex-
ceptionally good. better than the four
who ran for Virginia in the George
Washington games could have done.
When any team does under $40 on an in
door track it is running in form that
gives it chance against almost any Of
the schools in its class. That is better
than an average of fifty-fve seconds for
the individual men, and ffty-five seconds
on an indoor track is not a poor record
by any means. At least it is as good as
is generally done in the indoor meets in
this section.
OF course, Virginia will have better
team representing 1t in the Georgetown
meet than it had when 1t appeared in the
George Washington games. In fact 1t
is very probable that not more than one
or, at the outside, two runners who had
place on the team two weeks ago will
run in the big event against the Blue
and Gray four. But at that the men
who will represent Georgetown will have
a better chance to win than in years.
Bob Ellers performance in the Hopkins
meet was an exceptional one. 1t Is
mighty seldom that man is seen to
win three events and get second in an
other i'm an indoor meet, and yet that is
what Eller did. The Georgetown man
did not even have to exert himself in the
22O-yard, running away with the event
in the easiest kind of fashion. In the
hurdles Eller was seen in the event in
which he showed at his best and lowered
the mark which has stood for the dis
lance for the past three years.

etceteras, and oranges and apples and
nuts and candy for a hundred little chill
dren. 1t will be such fun and such

4"Of course you will help; you always

1.-THE Mercy Home is facing an emor-
gency and is forced to make special
appeal.
owing to the increasing demands OF
the city and district, 1t was necessary to
build an addition to the home this year.
at an expense of over $4,000.
"Of this amount $4,000 is now due, and
we are asking of those who have known
the Mercy Home and its work for many
years. and who we believe are willing
and glad to cooperate with us in caring
for homeless and friendless little children
10 contribute something to meet the pres
ent indebtedness.
I'VE realize that the calls are many, but
we can only say--nothing has so much
promise for future good as the care,
training and education of children under
u years of age.

about so are in the public schools. xin-
dergarten is provided in the home for the
smaller ones.
"Everything is done-as has been for
the past 20 years-in the most economical
conscientious manner.
1.-The per capita expense is little less
than "a per month. this includes food,
clothing, care and general expenses such
as furnishings, repairs, etc.
I'VE need immediate help for The in
debtedness on the building and for q heat
ing plant, and we believe Thanksgiving

tention to the needs of this district in
the industrial line There is no line here
that has shown half so much interest in
Birmingham as the Southern railway.
Samuel II. Hardwick. passenger traffic
manager, and veteran railroad man,
sized the eompany's position up fine when
he said yesterday:
president Finley is accustomed to do
ing things for those cities which in his
wonderful foresight will amount to some
thing When he sees a city growing and
as important as Birmingham, he goes
in for the best his company can give.
That accounts for the establishment here
of the assistant general passenger agent,
the industrial agent and the other Off
GERS that our company has here. Bir-
mingham is decidedly too important to
allow to be unsupplied with the best we
can offer At our meeting Friday we
discussed the great traffic of this city
and it was the general opinion that no
city presented such field and that no
city should be depended upon to help
Birmingham out in her traffic problems.
Therefore we placed Mr.. Freeman here.
He will have this state and will not be
required to consult Atlanta, Chattanooga
or any city about the work here. Br-
mingham is of great worth and we in
tend to devote our time and talents to
helping this city get into that class to
which it most richly deserves.
'Our passenger representatives here
have a great task before them and be-
lieve Birmingham will profit by this evil
dence of good will shown on the part
of President Finley. Our line in every
way is trying to help the south grow and
birmingham especially. OF course, there is
some reward in this for our company,
but the good we accomplish will far more
enrich the cities than it will our COM
pany. 1t is simply matter of reciprpci-
ty, however, and we are willing and
anxious TO do our share"
The testimonial to Birmingham paid by
the Southern passenger men found a
ready concurrence from T.. H. Coapn1an,
vice president and general manager. who
talked to the passenger men briefly be-
fore they adjourned Friday night.
