men who have signifled their intention
Of getting into the race next Saturday

Training stunts here and In Baltimore
during the past three weeks show that
the men are more in earnest this year
than ever before and that the fight for
the honor of landing the fourth renewal

Washington men know that Baltimore
hase many more entries in the race and
that sheer numbers will mean that tie
Monumental City will have greater
chance at the prize provided some dark
horse furnishes the sensation, as Ruth
old last May.

men here who can be counted upon to
