RACE soon FOR
THE O'TOOLE TROPHY
Event VIII be Run Off at
First Olympia Football
Game
| MANY ATHLETES
AFTER RICH PRIZE

The City League relay race for the
Joseph e. O'Toole trophy has aroused
considerable interest not only among
the clubs interested, but among local
sportdom as we'll The race Will
be run off between the halves Of the
Disqualification football contest at
Front and Union streets grounds on
October 10. This will also be the
first appearance Of the local eleven
on the gridiron this season. The Pal
myra-Riverton warriors have always
put up a strong exhibition of foot
BALL and this year will be nc excep-
ton
The relay race was supposed to
have taken place at the lrish-Ameri-
can field sports here on July p. but
owing TO the ineligibility of several
of the athletes. the event was de-
clared off by officials of the Amateur
Athletic Union There has since
been much comment among the club
members as to supremacy and a hot
contest is looked for.
The conditions for the race are
practically the same, only those par
ticipating are not compelled to be
members OF the A. A. o. Anyone who
is a member of any OF the clubs in
the City League Is eligible TO COM
pete. Already entries have been
received from the Eden and Pioneer
clubs. Th Pioneers always do have
some crack athletes in the running
game, and they have every hope of
carrying away the beautiful cup. On
the other hand, the Eden Eoys across
the bridge contend they have the best
bunch of cinderpath performers in
the league, and they are willing to
prove IL on the day Of the race.
This added attraction for Front
and Union streets will no doubt draw
a big crowd, and in conjunction with
the crack football game will be worth
seeing. Those clubs which intend
entering the relay race will get in
touch with the sporting editor Of The
Star promptly

Marhefka With Old Friends
After Big Year in Old Game

Jus 60 back to 1912, when Home-Run
Charley Johnson, who led the league
with an average of .4O3, scored 46 runs
while Tony batting at .25O clip tailed
4S times. If this does not indicate that
Marhefka was a valuable inside man
then we miss our guess.
At Union stadium Tony was popular
with the fans and his team mates. The
slogan in those days was: ''Marhefka
