Hedges Must Be Nego-
tiated in SteepIechaSe

President John Elliott of the Pa~
cific Athletic association, who Is chair

Elliott was out at the stadium yes

for the two mile steeplechase. This
will be a novelty for the local pub
lie. The race will be run on the
grass around the outer edge of the
running track, and at each end Of the
the cycle track. This will give all
the essentials of genuine cross coun-
try run.
The features of the race will be
the negotiating OF a water jump IL
feet wide and IS feet long. This
Jump will be located at the north
western corner of the track and in
the other corners there will be three
obstacles to represent country hedges
These jumps will be two feet high
and covered with brush which will
add considerably to the novelty of
the race. A record entry has been
received. and the race promises to be
one of the most spectacular and laugh
provoking races ever run by ath-
letes in this part of the country.

/ ALIVE WITH
ATHLETES
Local Stars Show Class in
Training for Saturdays
Big Contests

The Golden Gate park stadium
track is busy little spot in the park
these days. Every day the track Is
busy with athletes preparing for the
big Portola track and field day, which
is to be held there next Saturday aft
ernoon.
Today the track and field were alive
with men doing various forms of
training for the meet. Included in
the big crowd that was working out
were many men whose names are
household words the world over where
athletics are known or spoken of.
George Horine was out getting over
the crossbar in the high jump placed
at a height of better than six feet
from mother earth. HORNE is the
worlds record holder in the high jump
and his name is known from one end
of the globe to the other. The great
high jumper is in good form and
looks to have a big chance to win the
Portola event.
CASE SHOWING HIS CLASS
Another man whose name is world
famous who was out today was John
Case. the hurdler, who took fourth
place in the Olympic worlds cham
pionships at Stockholm last year.
Case is a former University of Illi-
shape for the hurdles events. Yester-
day he went over a full fight of
sticks and showed splendid form and
world of speed. He is one of the
prettiest timber toppers that has ever
been seen at the stadium track and
the race In these events should be be-
tween Case and Fred Kelly of Los
Angeles, the worlds champion and
record holder in the 12o yard sticks.
Another athlete of note training
yesterday was Eddie Beeson. the
former University of California ath-
lete. Beeson is doing well in the
high jump and expects to give Ho-
rine great fight for the first place
Besides jumping. Beeson will also en-
ter the hurdles and looks to be sure
OF place Eddie is not in the best
shape possible, and only last week
got out of sickbed. He is determined
to enter the meet and do his best,
but his recent sickness has pulled him
down somewhat. He is being coached
along by Walter Christie and under
his, tutelage should be abe to so con-
serve his energies that he will show
to advantage, even though he is not
In high class shape.
PASTIME STAR WORKS HARD
Dick Hoenisch, the champion all
round athlete of the Pastime club, is
another lad working hard. Hoenisch
will enter various events, but will
make his big fight in the $50 yard
event. He Is running the half mile at
a great lick, and in training has
broken the two minute mark
George Parker, the Stockton high
school boy who went to Chicago last
spring and ran second, two yards be-
hind a new worlds interschola site
record in both the 100 and 220 yards,
Is in great shape for these two events
next Saturday. With Coach Holway
OF the Olympic club as a trial horse
and giving Morris four yards and
other athletes handicaps up to six
yards, Parker yesterday ran his hun
dred in 10 1-5 seconds. Holway won
the event, but Parker was right at
his shoulder, officials giving Parker
second by six inches.

Morris Is also a brilliant all round
performer and last July in Los An
