I remember Jackson IS first match

colored heavyweight, who, on account
of his endurance, was known as sod

panied look which came over Godfrey s

seemed to have an arm as long as an

After that poor Joe was cut down
slowly and scientifically. He was too
big to take hberties-or rather chances

SEASON At LATON|A
HAS BEEN SUCCESS
Meeting Is Prosperous Until
Time of Hot Wave; Big
Operators Lost Heavily.

One OF the best meetings Latouia ever
had is over The meeting was a corker
up to the time the hot wave struck here
and after that things began TO drag, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer. Many stayed
away from the track and this kept the
betting down. Then again many owners
didn't care TO take chance on running
their horses In the extremely hot weather
which Cincinnati has been enjoying for
the last Two weeks. The hot weather
again leads TO the argument that Lex
ington should start the season week
or. two earlier. Racing In Kentucky
didn't begin until April 26. which Is too
late, when there are four tracks run
ming. Lexington could have opened up
at least seven days earlier than 1t did
and this would have made Latonia miss
at least one week of the hot weather.
II memory serves right. the week begin
ing OF April ~ this year was OF the
opening day at Lexington WAS cold and
rainy, which kept many away from the
track. Baseball players are out on the
field ia many cities hundreds OF miles
farther north than Lexington on April

HARVARD DECISIVE
CHAMPION FOR 1878
Wearers of Crimson Excel on
intercollegiate Field in
Four Sports.

PHILADELPHIA, July 12.-The wear
ers Of the Harvard Crimson eNcelled on
the intercollegiate athletic field for the
academic year of 1913. Out of SIX
teen possible athletic championships the
men from Cambridge won four outright
and divided honors for the fifth. Har-
ward triumphed In football. cross-coun-
try running hockey and association foot
ball, in addition to dividing the lacrosse
title with Johns Hopkins. Since Johns
Hopkins declined the Harvard challenge
to play off the tie for the lacrosse title
this might reasonably be awarded to
Harvard. but when the Harvard chal-
lenge reached Baltimore the southern
team had dsbanded and was under no
obligation to play off the tie.
The University of Pennsylvania scored
first In three championships and there
fore ranks second to Harvard, with Yale.
Cornell and Princeton tied with two
championships each. For purpose OF
computation each championship Is re-
garded as a single point which would
make the score of the eight universities
figuring as follows: Harvard. al Penn

Harvard Has Good Year.

Not only did Harvard win outright
more championships than any of her
rivals, but the Crimson athletes finished
second in one OF the major sport cham
pionships they did not win. besides max
ing uniformly high record in the many
minor sports In rowing Harvard GER
tainly deserves to rank third while in
track athletics her team did finish sec
opd. In baseball the Crimson beat Yale
in two out of three games, and while
the championship of the dia amond is given
to the Blue on the seasons record. the
Crimson deserves to rank second or third.
AS a further distinction for Harvard the
Crimson beat Yale In three out OF four
major sports. The Crimson won In foot
ball, baseball and rowing. leaving Yale
supreme only on the track, but Ha rvard
made some amends for this by beating
out Yale In the 1. c. A. A. A. A. track
championships. II was a fat year Tor
Harvard and mighty lean one for Yale.
There isn't any room for dispute over
the Majority Of the championship titles
here awarded. In practically all OF the
minor sports there were associations
which arranged schedules that left no
doubt as to the competitor winning first
place In the four major sports-foot-
ball, ba ascbal, rowing and track ath-
letics-this was possible only in track
athletics. but In the three others the su
premacy OF the teams 10 which the honor
is awarded was sufficient to leave no
