SPORTING NEWS
PREDICT EIGHT NEW
MARKS At OLYMPIC IRYOUTS
Jones, Gissing, Shepard, Rose, Craig, Bonhag
and Sheridan Looked to for Record Breaking Fetts-
Distances According to English System.

That records will fall before the
mighty athletes who will compete in
the Olympic tryouts next month is the
opinion of experts. While 1t Is not i'm
probable a score of old marks will be
swept from the hooks it is considered
certain that with a warm day fast
track and good field eight new marks
will be esta blished.
So that they will be American clas-
sizes as we'll as Olympic the American
committee will arrange the distances
according to the English system of
feet and yards as we'll as the metric
system.
In each contest where a contestant
promises to perform in record form
the track will he laid out in yards as
well as metre marks. and in the field
events they will be measured with an
English and metric measure.
In this way the middle distance
runners in the 500 metre event con-
tinue to the half mile mark; those in
the 1900 metre went to the one mile
mark. and the 200 metre sprinters to
the c20 yard mark.
To Encourage Record Breaking.
The committee will do everything
in its power to encourage the men
to show their best form. Besides
using both measuring systems the
committee will probably decide that

Motorcycling A Great Pleasure

Miss Lillian Obin. a pretty little 49,
year-old girl of Cohoes, N. Y, thinks
m%otorcycling is about the greatest Of
all pleasures for girls. And she speaks
from experience. since she began rid
Ing as hundreds of girls in many
parts Of the country are now begin
ming. by riding at first With others.
She began last fall while visiting in
Boston. Then she took her first spins
about the city and to neighboring
cities and towns, but always with a
friend of hers. One day she decided
to master the motorcycle herself. She
had had a few lessons and could bal
ance herself with ease. Once on the
motorcycle alone it was but the twist
of.the-wrist and she was on her way.
That one ride alone beat" all 9TH
ers as far as Miss Obin was concerned.
She decided then that the greatest
sport" of motorcycling was to run
the machine by herself. After that

when anyone else wanted to accom-
pany her. the guest" had to take the
tandem seat in the back.
Miss Obin now SAYS that she would
rather ride the motorcycle than eat
and that no n trip is complete UNI
less 1t covers more than a hundred
miles. She likes the long iaunts in
the country and has taken the motor
cycle e a 130-mile route alone. She
says 1t is absolutely reliable and so
easily mastered" that any girl can
manage a two-wheeler no matter
where she wants. to go.
Girls who r nov riding tandem
are simply taking their first lessons in
motorcycling according to the little
eastern motorcyclist and they will
never enjoy the real pleasures of rid
Ing until they have toured alone.
MISS 0oin's riding costume consists
Of a jacket and divided skirt of dark
cloth: gauntlet gloves, a dotted scarf
and leggings.

Kids Enthusiasm
Makes Hit With
Baseball Manager
Frank Lohr is Won by Smiling Face
and Appoints Young News Deal
err Mascot.

Earl S~chneeweis was the happiest
kid in Grand Forks last night and he
isn't over it vet.
He is merry and his bright little
face is wreathed in smiles because he
has been named the official mascot of
the. Grand Forks baseball team.
Earl's appointment all came about
in this way:
A bunch of fans was down to the
depot to give the glad hand to the
players that dropped in from Winni-
peg. While they were discussing base
ball just before the train arrived,
young ~Schneeweis came up with his
papers under his arm and asked II
anybody in the crowd was Manager
Lohr. He was informed that Mr.. Lohr
would be in town in a few minutes
and VAS questioned as to what he
wanted to see the chief player Of the
ball team about.
Well" said the young newspaper
hustler, Il am the original live kid
in this village and 1 want the job of
mascot"
1t was suggested to the enthusiastic
youth that he meet Mr.. Lohr as the
manager stepped off the train and put
the proposition up to him in a bust
ness-like manner.
No soone had the train come to a
Guy "a nv Vail P4oSSAo oldIt0u ~
pile off than Earl was as close to the
train as possible. looking eagerly into
the faces of the men that stepped
down from the coaches.
Finally the %youngster spotted the
manager and made a dart for him as
though his life depended upon getting
under the wire first. Grabbing Mr..
Lohr by the arm and smiling up into
his face, the boy exploded with:
Say. Mr.. Lohr. I'm the boy that
put Grand Forks on the mar and
want to be mascot of the team. I'll
work like thunder and keep the other
kids away from the balls and bats If
YOU will only let me be the mascot.
Come on, Mr.. Lohr, tell it I o me right
now"
The manager. caught his breath.
searched the good little face before
him and said:
Say, boys. you can tell you are in
Grand Forks. Here's an example of
the stuff this town is made Of. You
can't beat It.. Go on over to the hotel
while I sign up the mascot"
And Earl S~chneeweis was handed a
contract right there.
Did he sign?
He most certainly did and then he
executed a marathon about town, tell
ing all the other kids the greatest lit
tie story that has come along to
brighten his life in several days.
