Intercollegiate.
BY H. c. BYRD.

The absence of Frank Davis from the
lineup of the American Security and
Trust Company nine will weaken it to A
great extent unless competent man Is
secured to take his place. 1t will mean
the breaking up Of the quartet that has
constituted the inner works of the Bank
ers for the last three years. and besides
that Davis is player of exceptional
ability.
1t will be almost impossible to find an
other man in the District who Will be
able to play as fine a fielding game as
Davis He is i'm a class by himself
far as that is concerned in amateur ball.
and on the base lines he is also way
above the rank and file.
Just how long Davis will be away is
questionable If he makes good. of
course he will not leave Cincinnati until
the end of the season, but If he fails to
! hold down a regular job he may be back
before the amateur season is half over
, But no matter how long he is away, for
whatever time he is absent the trust
company nine will miss his services.
The following are the results of the
events held yesterday in the interclub

| In the intercollegiate preliminaries held
Yesterday at Harvard Johns Hopkins
/ qualified two men, Lloyd and Wagner.
| The former ran we'll enough to earn
| chance to take part in the final OF the
| 40 today. and the latter qualified in the
30 and 100 yards dashes. Whether or
| not Wagner and Lloyd will be able to ac-
| complsh anything in the finals today Is
questionable, but it seems certain that II
| either has a chance to do something II
/ is Wagner Wagner has shown himself
! to be an exceptional Splinter on several
! occa sions this spring. II the time taken
for his events has been correct At the
| Naval Academy he did the distance in
/, y ID seconds. something that 1t Is ques-
i t,ouable if any other man in the country
| has done this season. OF course. there is
| the possibility that he was not timsd cor
| rectly and really did not go the distance
! in that time. but If he can do the century
| in = 80. then he is mighty apt to set away
| with first place in the greatest set OF
/ athletic events of the year. He also
! stands fair chance of getting something
/ in the 10.
as to which team will win the trophy in
| the finals TODAY The contending
schools have qualified squads that appear
! to be very nearly equal in strength. and
| the tussle for points is sure to be close
