NATIONAL INDOOR GAMES

Ted Meredith in
the 600.

New York. March 6.-Little Abel kiviat
after winning the l.0Oo-yard run at the
national indoor championships of Amer
lea in record time tonight, came back
after a three-quarter hours rest and in
one of the most thrilling races ever seen
on a board floor won the feature event
of the meet when he beat Ted Mere
dith, of Philadelphia, in the 6cc-yard run
in lis 1-5 Tom HaIpin. of the Boston
A. A., 'the national Quarter-mile cham
pion. was third.
What made the finish more sensational
was the fact that Kfviat, Meredith. and
Halpin all came from the back in the
last lap with a sprint which left the other
runners far behind.
Bonsib, of Columbia, got away in front
and made the running for the first lap
with Meredith in fourth position. Halpin
fifth and Kiviat last. In this order they
ran till the bell sounded for the final
lap, when Kiviat swept past Halpin and
Meredith. All the way down the back
stretch Kiviat and Meredith raced shoul-
der to shoulder, but in the last turn the
little Staten Islander opened gap of two
| feet, which Meredith could not close. al
| though he came through with the famous
sprint which has landed him in front in
all his big races.
With the immense crowd shrieking and
waving hats the pair swept down the
| last stretch with Kiviat holding his scant
i lead. Halpin, who finished third, was
| four yards behind Meredith. kiviats
time was one and one-fifth second be-
hind the indoor record Of liza, held by

TRAINING CAMP NOTES.

Charlottesville, Va. March 6-Arrange-

wrestler is slated TO meet one OF the
crack football players Of the University
Of Virginia eleven in "a finish match. and
the Climbers quartet, Ainsmith. Engel.

also be added. The date has not been

Nationals stay in camp.
Frank Laporte. the heavy hitting in
fielder, brought Mrs. Laporte down with
him, and they are stopping at the Gleason
House. This town reminds me of Cruch-
VILE Ohio, our home" says Mrs. Laporte,
where the only excitement is couple OF
moving picture shows. 1 think snail
like It here
Laporte appeared for practice Wednes-
day with a brand new glove. which he
hopes to break in before the American
League sea son sIhTts he Nudl thho
is one of his hobbies, and that he always
start the training camp season by break
ing in a new glove.
Acosta and Calvo, the Cuban outfielders,
both hit from the left side of the plate
but throw right-handek They are hard
marks for a pitcher to shoot at, as they
refuse to offer at a ball unless it Is over
the plate, and are of like flash for
first base. Both are wonderfully speedy.
and il they are able to hit the pitchers
fast ones it would not be surprising II
Griff carried them both on his pay roll
this season.
Catcher Esan. the Bridgeport. Conn.
semi-pro. was given a trial last spring
by the Albany club of the New York
State League. but sent back for the rea-
son that he lacked experience. Egan is
a better hitter than Dutch" Munich,
but not as good a receiver. Tom Dow
ney, former member of the Cincinnati
Reds, recommended Egan to Griff.
Allen Scheer, the Youngstown recruit
who was here last spring, but on ac-
count Of sickness could not do himself
Justice and who was shipped back to
the Ohio city, looks . per cent better
now. and will make some Of the outfield
candidates hustle for their jobs. Scheer
has taken on a little weight since Griff
saw him last and has changed from an
infielder to an outfielder. He played in
the last named position during the 1918
season and battcd well over 400.
OF all the new men Harry Welchoncc
is the wisest He did not attempt to
use his arm at all during the first three
days preferring to lob the ball to the
second baseman after a catch. Il am
not taking any chances with this old
arm of mine," he said. for I realize
that IL anything should happen to it
now, would be under a sever handi-
cap later on in the training camp sea-
son. I have looked over Griff's outfield
candidates and he has some promising
youngsters, any one of whom might step
into my shoes in case / caught cold in
INV throwing arm. When I am right I
don't care, but my first step Is to get
the old soup bone in shape"

of State yesterday laid down ten hard.
bright silver dollars on a haherdashcr 5

erected a lasting bulwark against that

If he had wanted the silk hat the case
would have been altered. but Mr.. Bryan

State it was in his line Of duty to pro-
cure a silk tile, and although he had

MOTHERHOOD GREATEST
JOY OF WOMAN'S LIFE
So Says Ethel Barrymore, Who Also
Declares 1t Helps Woman
in Stage Career.

New York. March 6.-"Motherhood Is
the greatest joy of woman's life
would give up the greatest career IN the
world If the career meant giving up my
children"
Beautiful Ethel Barrymore, wife OF
Russell G. Colt, one Of the most beloved
of American actresses. made this remark
to-day in her home in East SiNtS-hrs'
Street
Mrs Colt has been blessed with two
beautiful children, a boy and a girl
The boy. three years and three months
old. has been named as his grandfather.
Samuel P Colt. The girl OF elght
months has been named for her mother,
Ethel Barrymore Colt.
"Yuu believe that the faculties anu
powers of an emotional actress are h9t
impaired by maternity" she was asked.
Certainly, / do. This talk one hears
occasionally from professional women
without children that motherhood takes
AWAY from art is all nonsense. Like
love. which grows and is always caPdoie
of being greater and finer, so motherhoou
gives a woman on the stage a greater
appreciation of life and a clearer inter-
probation of art.
..With a maternal instinct which Is
always large in women of temperament
brought to its full realization, the actress
becomes greater in her profession and
finer in all phases of her life as wom-
an. I never knew what beautiful thing
life really was until / had my babies,
and my love for them makes my love
for the whole world finer and stronger.
Now what is the stage-what are
! honors or glory that might come to
woman in comparison to this baby boy?
They are absolutely nothing. and 1t
makes me very unhappy when I see so
many women who might have the great
joy that has been given to me If only
they would, How different their lives
NAV be. How much more happiness
might be theirs If they would have
children! Childless homes are the great
est tragedy in the world. it seems to
me"

HUERTA SENDS SPECIAL ENVOY
 ID NEGOTIATE
Washington Authorities Are Somewhat Puzzled As to the Manner in Which He Should Be Received in This Country
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPArcH1


 WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Develop- ments in the Mexican situation will probably await the arrival in Wash inton of Manuel Amacona, the per sonal envoy of the Huerta govern ment to continue with the Washing ton administration the negotiations begun by John Lind. Administra tion officials are not decided tonight whether to receive Zamacona unless he brings positive assurance of Huerta's elimination from the sitlla- tion in Mexico and is ready to act on the other points of the American proposals for the establishment of peace.
 Some Washington officials feel that the United States has made it's posi- ton sufficiently clear through the parleys conducted on the same points they regard as useless, merely pro- cess of delay.
 The disposition. however, is to re- ceive Zamacona with every courtesy shown Lind Zamaconas mission IS said to contemplate not only a fur therance of the negotiations looking toward peace, but the floating of a loan to be encouraged by the Ameri- can government.
