been well earned by the several
sterling ladies who are competing.
The great race is close, and right
now it is safe to say that 1t is any
body's race. There are several can
didates who could. if they would, by
securing few subscriptions or $l9
club or two, pass their nearest com
petitor or even the leaders, if they
try hard enough. One $l5 club
draws thousands of votes now, and a
few OF these clubs will do wonders
right at this stage or the big CAM
paign.

promptly at nine o'clock next Thurs
day evening, June 5th. All candi-
dates must have all their subscrip
tions together with the cash to bal

ately take charge of the double

Former Dartmouth Star Says
Boys Must Get Out and
Hustle for Jobs.

Robert NJ. Hatch. the newly appointed
who will handle all branches of sports
at that institution. is an athlete OF note
and has had much experience In the
athletic world.
Hatch first broke into the limelIght
at Concord High School. Concord, Mass.
when he made every team that repre-
scented that school. After his four-year
sojourn at that institution. he entered
Dartmouth. in 1907. where he participated
in football. baseball, track. and hockey.
In 1910 he made the varsity football
squad and was picked to begin the
Princeton game at center. but luck was
against him. for during the last scrim-
mage before the Tiger battle. Hatch in
jured his leg and was forced out of the
game for the rest Of the season.
In baseball he made his class team at
the Hanover School and has played anna
teur ball around his home town. Con-
cord. Mass. Hatch had an opportunity
10 join Ham Fish's Harvard law school
football team. which made a tour of the
South in the fall of 1910. but he declined
the invitation. Last year he attended
the Harvard law school.
The new coach is not at all satisfied
with the material he has on hand at the
Capitol Hill school. So far, he says. he
has seen about four good ball players.
He would not divulge the names OF the
four men he had in mind. According to
Hatch. there is Lot a good looking Sec
ond baseman or first baseman out for
the team.

CLASH WEDNESDAY,
Dangerous Turk" to Meet Middle

PAT O'CONNOR WILL REFEREE

ALA Hassen, the dangerous Turk,
who has twice invaded the States, seek
ing the laurels. of Americas best
wrestlers, will have a chance to make
good his claim to the European cham
pionship when he meets Joe Turner, the
local favorite. on the mat Wednesday
night, at the Gayety Theater.
Hassen has defeated all of the best
middle and light heavy-weights In
Europe. and on tour here last year
cleaned up with some Of the best men
in this country.
He has been circulating around the
various newspaper offices the report that
Joe Turner side-stepped him on his last
tour here. and now that he has signed
articles for a finish match II Is up to
the dangerous one to make good. When
seen last night Turner stated that he
will be in the pink of condition, and
while he admits the Turk Is a rough
wrestler. is rather anxious to indulge
in a little rough work, as he calls II.
While the match no doubt will be rough
from the start, Pat O'Connor, the we'll
known referee, will see that neither man
steps outside of the limit of the Police

THE INDIAN IN ATHLETICS
BY
HUME l. PRINCE BATTISTE

I am indeed glad have been asked
to write something about The Indian
in Athletics" as l have long wanted to
say something on the subject feel that
/ am In a position to say something
about 1t, as 1 have played extensively
myself, both at college and on inde-
pendent teams. and what say won't be
all imagination
1t is needless to say anything about the
Indian of to-day as a first-class athlete,
because the skill and endurance along
athletic lines which characterized his
forefathers has not been altered to any
extent by time and civilization.
Civilization. with its many temptations,
is what prevents the Indian from re-
naming an athlete of the first water
after he has once reached the top.
The Indians who make athletics their
means OF getting a livelihood are be-
ginning to realize that "firewater" will
soon take 1t away and they will be left
to live a life of drudgery and hardship
This subject covers a large field. and II
i were to attempt to say anything about
what Indians have done in athletics 1t
would cover many pages. What l want
to talk about is the Indian Of to-day.
He is best as an amateur, because his
companions are usually college men. but
when he has some wiIl-power and an
object in view he can make a very good
professional. He Is a great drawing

BENEFIT OF BALL TEAM

4 monster boxing, wrestling, and ath-
letic exhibition will be held In the Gal
laudct gymnasium Friday night for the
benefit of the Gallaudet College baseba II
team. Capt. Kendall. of the nine. and
Physical Instructor Arras have been
working hard for the past ten days ar
ranging the programme of events, and
a classy card has been secured.
Two boxing bouts are on the pro-
Gramme, one between students at CAL

club boxers. An exhibition of jumping
and other gymnasium work will be given
by the drill class of the Kendall Green
gymnasium.
Another feature will be an exhibition
Of gym work by John Kilonis. the Greek

best man TO meet him. in a fifteen
minute bout.

card. and managers always take him
when they can.
Many Indian graduates are making
honest livings along athletic lines, and
! think all who are so inclined should
be encouraged to keep at 1t when there
is a chance of their making good.
The Indians reputation for whisky
drinking is well known. SO when he fails
to keep in condition the bottle is blamed,
but this is not always the reason. If the
general public didn't take it for granted
that all Redskins drink he would have
a better reputation in athletics.
The Indian, as a rule, will work hard
for 4 manager or coach who treats him
with kindness; but he will never forget
an insult or slight. During my long
stay al Gallaudet, ] always tried to do
my best, and all I can say is that every
Indian, when given fair chance. will
do the same.
The J6dian takes to football quicker
than to baseball, as the gridircn game
