RALPH CRAIG AND PAT MCDONALD MAKE
ENVIABLE RECORDS AT OLYMPIC GAMES

When Ralph c. Craig of the
Detroit Y. M. c. A. flashed home
in front of Don Lippincott in the
200-meter sprint at Stockholm, he
hung up the first double victory
of the Olympic games-and ran
his last Olympian race for Uncle
Sam.
/. Ralph Craig is through with
athletics. Before leaving De-
troit to join the American team.
he declared that win or lose he
would return to his position as
head of the scientific department
Of the F. Stearns laboratories and
'orget athletics.
No more will he figure to clip a
.enth of a second from a worlds
athletic record. Instead he will
levote his time to clipping a
tenth of cent from the cost OF
producing castor oil.
Experts say Craig could win
the hundred and double hundred
meters for Uncle Sam in 1916 and
add three other events to his
string, if he cared to. He was a
great hurdler, at Michigan uni
yersity, under Keen Fitzpatrick,
and a grand quarter miller. Close
students say he could establish
worlds records at the double fur
long and both hurdles, If he
cared to.

Rivers Would Claim Title
Wolgast Refuses to Sign

The controversy between Ad
Wolgast and Joe Rivers reached
the billing point when Joe Levy,
manager for Rivers, today issued
a statement that unless the cham

himself regarding return match
he will claim the title for his
Mexican protege. Levy demands
an end to quibbling ana an i'm
mediate signing of articles and
offers to bet $1,000 at the prevail
ing odds.
Levy's statement, far differen,
from the silent policy he adopt
ed after the July battle at Yer

Wolgast. Furthermore 1t dis
credits the champions claim OF
three broken bones in his left
wrist.
Replying to the challenge,
Wolgast angrily said:

Levy's statement, is the greatest
outburst of hot air ever sprung

CAL SHILLING IN HIS NATIVE
ELEMENT.

Cal Shilling, Americas best
jockey, receives a retaining fee of
$4,000 a year from H. G. Hal
lenbeck, millionaire. eastern
turfman. and yawns when the
figure is mentioned, remembering
the "good old days" when Sam
Hildreth paid him $4,000 for
the first call on his services, and
second and third call brought
$4,000 and $1,000 respectively.
Shilling halls from Paris, Tex,
and owns a majority of the COM
mercial enterprises of the place.
There is Shilling grocery, a
Shilling hardware store, a Shill-
ing blacksmith shop and other
Shilling places, started by the
premier jock, and some day he
may own enough real estate to
change the name of the town to
Shilling.

Now that the fans have seen
the Tigers play bush league ball

they are more convinced than

language to describe yesterdays
game with Vancouver. The
Tigers had the game practically
won and then gave 1t away by
making errors and bonehead
plays. No wonder the fans left
the baseball park yesterday SO
deeply disguised.
The anvil chorus, which has
been shouting a mighty thunder

was mentioned will admit Micheal

So did several other players but
they knew what plays to make

Jockeys like Shilling command
large sums for their services. but

maker, sagely asked, whats the
use owning good horse If you

Shillings pilots the Hallenbeck
horses, including Worth, Adams

and Azyiade, and his owner be-
lieves $4,000 cheap for the mas

In regard to Levy's statement

by brains and fists, not by hot

Sun to Dance
in Easter Joy

The weather gods, severally and col
lectively, have decided to be chivalrous
/ to Milady and have promised to shine
gloriously and continuously on Easter
Sunday. Through their messengers. the
weather prophets. they have let the
world know, or, at least, they have let
New Jersey know, that Easter Sunday
will be day on which Milady may
wear her Easter bonnet, her Easter
frock and all her Easter appurtenances,
and that her admiring escort may also
don his title" and frock coat and
striped breeches and parade the ave-
nue. unafraid of a sudden shower or a
threatening sky.
This promise by the weather lords Is
declared not to be tentative, but most
definite Yet, who can depend upon the
vagaries of these creatures? They are
known to be tickle.
The local messenger of the weather
gods, Prof. William Wiener, is out of
town today, but before going he pre-
dicted that the promise viii hold good,
and emphatically stated that If some-
one should happen to mar the weather
during his absence he will be much
wrought up over the Interference and
will invoke the wrath Of the gods upon
the head of the disturber.
So, Milady. set aside your doubts.
Spread out your finery early Sunday
morning. bedeck yourself gayly and as
beautifully as you know how, parade
down the avenue, so that mere Man
may have the pleasure of gazing upon
creations most beautiful factor.
