Earns Half Million
On German Tracks

NEW YORK, Jan. 10-When an Irish
man goes to Germany and In three sea-
sons earns nearly $4,000 on the turf
he certainly possesses ability out of
the ordinary. That is what James H:
Mccormick. the noted trainer OF
Sheepshead Bay, has accomplished. In
1903 his horses won 1000: In 1910, Sl26.
600, and last year he capped the climax
of his endeavors to capture the Ger
mans money by finishing second to EN-
peror williams leading winning stable
with $4,000 to his credit.
Mccormick landed In Germany In lS0e
under q severe handicap. Before he
was half way across the ocean his wife
died at her home in Brooklyn. This
news prostrated him, and catching cold
in the bargain he was laid up In
German hospital for more than q
month Unable to "sprechen sic
Deutsch," and with a stable Of race
horses that he was totally unfamiliar
with, he started of his first season by
capturing the three greatest handicaps

but won the Austrian prize worth $25,-

HARVARD STADIUM
WILL Be USED FOR
. OLYMPIC TRYOUTS
Corporation Suspends Rule
to Favor American
Athletes.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Jan. 10-The
Harvard Corporation has decided to al
low the Amateur Athletic Union OF
America to use the Harvard stadium
track for the olympic games trials
which will be held early in June. The
announcement of the corporations de-
cision was made last night at the
monthly meeting of the Harvard ath-

against Harvard's policy to allow the
stadium to be used for other than in
tercollegiate contests or for events in
which outsiders are concerned and al
which admission Is charged.
The date of the trials has not been de-
termined, although the Harvard ath-
letic Association expects that they will
be held June 8, q week after the annual
collegiate championship The Amateur
Athletic Union, however, probably will
desire to hold the trials a few days ear
lier, as It IL understood here that the

Former Coach Denies Facts
Published in Supposed
Z Interview.
FACULTY BELIEVES
HE WAS MISQUOTED
No Official Action Regarding
Georgetown Players Has
Been Taken.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, Jan. 1o.-
Former Coach Kemper Yancey, Of the
University OF Virginia varsity football
eleven, passed through here on way to
his home In Harrisonburg yesterday,
ana took occasion to dlscredit some Of
the facts in a supposed interview that
appeared IN q Washington daily last
Sunday.
The story was devoted for the greater
p4rt to the development of a statement
tnat Virginia had questioned the eligi-
pdnty OF three Georgetown athletes
White. Reipsrhild. and Magncr-and
would refuse to continue athletic rela-
Tons until the status Of the men In
querticn had been proved to be proper.
When the same was ..alled to the at
fcntion Of faculty advisers here, they
were inclined to dfscredit the facts. and
oppressed themselves as confident that
Yancey had been Inisonoted. This fact
was borne out yesterday when the
former gridiron coach declared tnat he
was not responsible for some of tho
facts contained in the Interview, and
was at loss to understand Just where
they leaked out. -
He was only in Charlottesville a few
hours. and was seen only by a few
here. However. his brother who ia a
student here, Is authority for the state
Pnent that he had denied facts as nut
under his name.
Dr. Lefevrs, one of the most promi-
nent members Of the athletic COMMITTEES,
said today that even II Yancey had
made the statement. which ne hardly
bclieved. absolutely no official action
had been taken in regard to the three
players named.
1T is true" he said. ."that a number
OF letters had been received from alumni
questioning the eligibility Of some of the
men. but these" he continued, ''had
not been considered officially"
The true facts Of the situation will not
be revealed until after a meeting Of tn
athletic board some time in the near
future.
As to the present alliance, however, It
can be said that authorities here have
continuation AZ at present in vogue,
md that It will come up for some con-
sideration is almost a certainty.
