Three Records Broken.

1t remained for Pine Bluff as host
to the fourth annual meet OF the
Arkansas Athletic association to see
three records lowered and one tied IN
competition between track teams OF
the Arkansas Athletic association.
This feat is unequalled. Never prev
iously have so many records fallen in
competition between athletes from
the various state High schools and al
though the local team scored but two
points in the meet it is pleasing TO
know that the new park made possible
the new records.
Parker of TT. Smith ran a brilliant
half mile, the third event on the pro-
gram for the afternoon. He clipped

2 3-5 seconds off the previous record,
made by Goodwin Of Warren, May 4,
1912. He was followed by Watson of
Henderson-Brown. who chopped
seconds from the college 440-yard
dash record. The old record was
"a Is seconds. Watson went the
quarter in 50 is.
With the announcement of Watson
fast run, the record smashing stopped
for a few moments, then Ward for
Fort Smith negotiated the mile in 4
minutes 81 1-5 seconds or 5 So sec
onds less than the time made by
Murta of TT. Smith at the meet May
4. 1872 This was the biggest reduc-
ton of the three and probably Ward
will be the states fastest high school
miller for several years.
In the pole vault Paul of Fort
Smith, who led his teams scoring
and headed the individual list, tied
the old record of May of Little Rock
at 10 feet 6 inches. Mays record
stood since April "a, 1909.
Pine Bluff annexed her two points
in the shot put and pole vault. Mc1n-
tyre took fourth in the former event
and Lake fourth in the latter.
The team should have had a first,
and had not Sorrells suffered injury
in practice recently the local lads
probably would have enjoyed seeing
him break some records. His trials
at practice recently for the shot put
all have been lower than the official
results compiled yesterday in competi-
ton by the winning visitors.

In the city today, Pine Bluffians have
arranged to have dance at the Hotel

the visitors in every way possible
Prof. w. j. Seibert will furnish
music at the Pines dance and Mrs

Hastings Satisfied.
That Pine Bluff will be a strong
bidder among the next contestants
for the convention is evident by the
following statement made by Presi-
dent Hastings last night to a Graphic
representative.
Il believe the meet was a great
success and when the difficulties that
we worked under are considered, it
was especially successful. We were
not only in a town that was uloc-
customed to entertaining the associa-
ton and track meet, but also the field
was barely finished. The finishing
touches being put on the morning OF
the meet In addition at least SO per
cent of the officials were new men
Even some of the members of the ex-
ecutive being first year in the work
of the organization. We had several
old heads however, such as ]. C. Con-
way, A. B. Hill, and J. L. Bond, and
Tom Poe and others in essention
positions who. could give the new
men the benefit of their experience
with us. Every man however that We
used as an official, was an old col
lege athlete and especially equipped
for his position. He had several new
men of unusual experience, such as
our referee, Rev. Frank James, Theo
M. Green, T. s. Staples, who were
able to readily adapt themselves tc
the work

SHIPS SEND MORE MEN
Eight Hundred Marines Hurried to
Assistance OF 800 Men Guarding
Water Supply Of Can
tured City.
(By Charles Michelson.)

Vera Cruz, Mexico, May 2.-Reports
were received here this afternoon that
the Mexican federal soldiers had at
tackled the American outposts and
that fighting was continuing intermit-
tently.
Re-nforcements were rushed to the
front both from the fleet and the land
forces.
Five hundred Mexjcans, cavalry and
infantry, commanded by a lieutenant,
sent message to the American out
posts under flag of truce at o'clock
this morning and demanded the sur
render of Major Russell and his force
of Third regiment marines. The abb
surd demand was, Of course, rejected.
A. "S. o. S." call was sent to Ad-
miral Badger, who replied:
Re-inforcements sent Immediately
from the fleet. Also land forces. Cap
tain Mustain, from the battleship Mis-
sisssippi, flew to the front in a Curtis
bi-plane. The attack at the front was
made while another detachment of the
Mexicans started for the Tojar water
works, which gives this city its sup
ply. The reservoir and pumping sta
ton is situated ten miles south OF
the city and five miles inland. The
Mexicans expected to destroy the
pipes or make the water unfit for use
as part Of their plan to establish
food blockade from the interior.
This is being done in the hope OF
starving out the Americans.
Three companies of marines under
Major Butler are entrenched at the
water works. A special train was
sent from here wit horders to pick
up 800 marines to reinforce the men
at the source of the water supply.
The march of the Mexicans toward
the reservoir was reported here by
army scouts early today. They say
the Mexican detachments consisted OF
900 men. Aviators Ballinger and La
monte have started in aeroplanes for
the scene. Steam launches from the
battleship Arkansas are running along
the coast to protect the aviators from
sharpshooters. The aviators We're or
dered to hug the coast lines until their
were directly opposite the water
works.

sion composed of three officers of the

John Chase TO investigate the kill
ings at Ludlow submitted a report to-
night which is far stronger than the
verdict Of the coroner's jury.
The commission finds that Tikas

ately killed after having been taken
prisoners by the soldiers in the Lud
low battle.
The origin of the Ludlow fire was
accidental, the report says.

fighting which preceded the fire

The worst evidence of hard luck
came in the second inning, when the
Dodgers were leading by two runs.
Sweeney had reached first base be-
cause of Pfeffer's wildness, and Red
COrriden came up with fire in his eye
and on his head. He picked a good
one and busted it to right on a line.
StengeI raced for the ball, Ieaped,
and knocked it higher into the air
with his left hand. Sweeney, who had
halted between first and second, put
out for home. 1t seemed certain that
Red had accumulated at least a triple.
But Mr.. Stengel developed himself in
to a pretzel, made another leap for
the pill, and it stuck in his glove while
he lay on the ground. It was as re-
markable a catch as was ever made
on a ball field.
Sweeney had reached third, so
Stengel got up and rolled the ball to
DaUbert for a double play. There was
none out at the time, so it can be
readily seen what this lucky catch
cost the Cubs. Sweeney was so sur
prised that Tom Needham had to
make a blue print of the catch to
convince him he was out.
IF this WaIIop had dropped safe it
would have meant at least a tie score,
and would have changed the entire
complexion of the game:
Another break came in the eighth
inning, when Johnston batted for

for some time, and his eye is dull.
label had faced Pfeffer twice, sing
ling once and tanning the other time.
He had pitched excellent bah, and
it is not probable the Dodgers would
have scored five times on him in the
ninth.
In that event the Cubs would not
have been forced to play for eight
runs to tie the score.

practically no time to warm up, and
it is no wonder he was laced.
Tom Leach had to quit because of
sickness after busting a double in the
first inning that got through Wheat
for the circuit. Schultz took his
place, and seems to have profited by
his vacation. Three times Frank
faced the pitcher. Once he singled,
once he doubled, and a third time
Stengel dropped his fly up against
the scorebOard. He crossed the plate
three times.
