A Ii sporting writer's interested
"A in track sports should. from
time to time, take inventory
of the state Of affairs I'm this field OF
athletics and should call the atten
ton Of their readers to them In order
that the country, az whole, may not
lose sight Of the fPct trat there are
more olympic games coming in the
future.
In the past American athletes have
had such an easy time OF winning
world championships In these events
that we have not had 10 exercise any
great amount Of foresight or alert
ness I'm the way OF extra preparation
and eNertion; but at last the Europe
an countries are aroused as never be
fore. and they are going to make
such "a determined effort 10 down the
American team at the Berlin Olym
piad I'm 1916 that II behooves us all
to keep strictly wide awake and con
the job" N we do not wish to meet
with a most unpleasant surprise
three years hence
Right after the games of 1912 prac-
tiCally an the European countries
stated quite frankly that they were
going to have lot TO say about
the winning of the pennant in 1916.
That this was no idle boast is now
apparent from the work they are put
ting In and the attention they are
paying TO track and field sports.
I'm the first place. Germany has al
ready built and completed the mag
uihcent stadium In which the 1916
I....,,
finished this far ahead of time simply
In order that the German athletes
may hold their practice upon # and
be thoroughly familiar with il three
wears hence. They win know TO a
nicely Just how 20 negotiate the
turns of the track where the diff
ferent distance posts are located, what
spceas they must put on between
them how the composition, banking.
sun, etc, affect one. and an the other
little fine points Surely the Ger
mans are leaving no stone. no mat
ter how small unturued TO make sure
of success
And, by the way. this German atad-
ium is a beauty just about the size
and dimensions of the new Tech ath-
letic field. II Will have q seating

loco feet long by 500 wide
THE Frenchmen are coming up

COMISKEYM MUST
SEND SMITH Or
PRODUCE ALIBI

IF Charles Comiskey does not i'm
mediately kick in with a good
alibi or a promise of a pitcher
the Atlanta Baseball Association will
take up the matter of enforcing
Comiskey's agreement to send Clar-
ence Smith to the Atlanta club
In this deal Comiskey offered Smith
to Atlanta at a certain price. Presi-
dent Galloway accepted terms. Then
Comiskey backed out, stating he had
decided to keep the man.
Baseball law provides that when
terms are accepted the deal must go
through.
There is not the least doubt but
that the local club can force the
White Sox to produce the player.
President Galloway was not in
clined to push the point, provided
Comiskey would agree to look out
for the local club with some other
player; but he shows no such inclina-
ton. so It is likely that the National
Commission will be requested to de-
eide who owns tthe player anyhow.

WELCHONCE To
Be THANKED IF
CRACKERS COP
By Percy H. Whiting.

TT The Crackers win a pennant,-and
It looks hopeful now-they can
thank their lucky stars-and
HGyry welchonce, the we'll known
Bessemer and lake Erie train dis
patcher.
When Harry came to the local club
they touted him as hatter-and a
trouble-msker.
Well. he's a batter, all right II
he's an anarchist It hasn't cropped
out yet.
In Nashville they charged him with
playing for his own averages and
letting the team go hang.
That he isn't pulling that here is
testified by the noted authority. Cap
tain C. A. Alperman. Says Whitley"
"welchonce is a wonder at doing
what he's told. No matter what the
play Is he will go out and make it
OF try like thunder.
Now, we have men on the team" "
continued Alperman, who can't make
a hit and run play at all. II wouldn't
be policy to tell which ones. Then
we have others who will go through
with II all right II you give them "a
diagram. And then there are chaps
like Welchonce. who need only tip
NOV take yesterday. In the fifth,
~ with one on, and two runs need
ed TO tie the score, Smith gave Wei
Chonce the signal for a home run
and he hit it.
Also. in the eighth with two on,
two gone and the score tied, Wei
chonce came up.
"A three bagger's what we need"
Bill Smith told him.
So WelchonCe went out and hit II,
winning the game So thereby.
DILL SMITH seems to have pulled
II one of his time trades in get
ting Carl Thompson. lie looked
suspiciously like a pitcher Yesterday
His start was bad. Then he steadied
and after the first inning gave up but
one hit
His Cracker batting support must
have been a pleasant surprise. for all
this season he has been the victim Of
weak stick support.
There's a fine chance that Joe Dunn
will be the making Of Thompson
Joe Is just the man TO handle his
curves. He knows everything about
the league and "a considerable amount
about pitching He is steady and
dependable He Is tickled 10 death
10 work with a young pitcher and to
show him things
over In Birmingham nobody would
show Thompson anything They
didn't like him and they didn't mind
saying so. over here the team is
in such dire need Of pitchers that
Thompson will be given every en-
couragement in the world
1T was like old times to see Glen
Liebhardt in the box for Memphis
once again. He hurled some great
games In Atlanta, back in the days
when Charley Babb managed the
team and had it up in the race. The
man once famous for his ability TO
hurl double headers hasn't the same
effectiveness as OF old, but he has
learned a lot of baseball and is dan
gerous.
1T was lucky Thompson turned up In
time 10 work Tuesday For Smith
was surely shy on hurlers. Couzel-
man was in such bad shape Monday
that he had to retire Brady is sick
Dent was affected by the heat Mon
day and is still weak old Gil Price.
the willing worker, can't go in every
day. So Thompson was a life saver.
Smith will be lucky to have man
who can go through to-day. His staff
is surely shot into holes. IL he can
pull them together this time. can get
the new man from the Boston Braves
and can have a little luck the pen

HeiSman Writes About Athletics
Must Watch For 1915 OIympiad

and development Nothing could
more clearly indicate how seriously
the French are taking these world
championships
NOR will IT be forgotten that
~ Sweden is already in heavy
training with a big team under the
able direction OF Ernie Hjertberg. nor
that Greece is again to hold the little
or biennial Olympic meet again next
year at Athens, which will serve to
keep her athletes on their metal until
1916 rolls around, nor that England
has already prepared to send spe-
Cial deputation TO America to study
the way Americans go az this bust
ness of training and bringing out
their track athletes.
COME Of us have feared that the
- leaders in American track and
field sports were liable to go 20 sleep
during these four years between 1912
and 1916 But, happily. the indica-
tions are that everybody on this side
OF the water IS more on the Qui vive
than ever, and the great number of
athletes now taking part In these
sports the country over Is sufficient
evidence that We are just as much
In earnest about that piece of bunt-
ing for 1916 as is any nation on the
other side Of the ditch
The first indication we had this
spring Of what kind Of an interest
was going to be taken in the United
States this year in track sports was
given at the University of Pennsyi-
vania annual relay races In April
last hon HA1l.grfnrtls fs.|
prep athletes participated represent
ing over go colleges and schools.
The next proof we had was when
the national intercollegiate took
place in May. At this meet not only
We're there more athletes entered
from more different colleges than
ever before, but a greater number of
colleges than ever before divided the
total number of points that could be
scored Fancy Penn winning the
meet with hardly more than a score
of points whereas fifteen years ago
the winning team usually swept the
board OF at least 50 points. This
speaks well for the keen competition
now being put up by a large number
OF college teams,
Exactly the same thing happened
at the Western Conference meet and
also at the Southern intercollegiate
meet held in New Orleans Not only
were there more teams entered at
the New orleans meet but some eight
Of them divided the points, whereas,
in former years, they have usually
all been gobbled up by about three
or four teams at most
And last Saturday the A \. L. Ma
uonal senior championship meet was
held in Chicago, also with a record
number OF entries. The total of 1852
points scored was divided between
twelve different athletic clubs or or
CARNATIONS and three 4. \. L..
records were broken.
