44PRU" ATHLETES
READY FOR MEET
Big Entry for Games at Olym=
pic Park Tomorrow
Afternoon.

If. Jupiter Pluvius is in a favorable
mood tomorrow and does not spoil
the day with his tantrums, the an
nual games of the Prudential lnsur-
ance Athletic Association will be
run off to the satisfaction of all. Fred
Metz and his assistants have spent
many hours in planning to make the
meet a success. and their efforts, so
far. have resulted very favorably
They have tried to make this years
games the best in the history of the
organization, and the large entry list
is a tribute to their endeavors.
Many notables will be present at
Olympic Park tomorrow. Forrest f.
Dryden has consented to act as hon
orary referee, and the 'among those
present" list will include almost all
of the big men in the insurance
circles.
The time for starting has been
fixed for two o'clock. Employees or
the company will be dismissed at
noon time for the remainder of the
day. Special cars will then convey
the members of the association to
the field. Provisions have been made
for large attendance.
Neil McManus, who is in charge of
the entries, reports that he has l62
individual entries, and as each man
will go in at least three events, the
total entry is expected to run up to
five hundred. The two most interest
ing contests will be the all-around
and the championship relay. Jack
Graham and Alfred Walthers were
tied last year for first place in the
all-around, Graham winning out on
the toss. This year the two will
find a worthy competitor in the per-
son of William Kelly, the New Jer-
sey champion in the 440-yard dash
and the SS0-yard run. "Ker' has
been going like the wind in practise,
and he will bear watching. There
will be many other strong COM
petitors for the title.
The champion renewal department
relay team, that won the relay event
last year. is still composed of the
same men, but the other relays pre-
dict that the renewal men will lose
the championship cup tomorrow. An
other interesting event will be the

insurance leagues. Jim Rosenberger,
the Metropolitan Splinter, will be the
scratch man in this race. Louis
Schloesser. the Mutual 100-yard title
holder, and William Mcintyre. of the
Metropolitan company, will be among
the other good men in the event, II.
A. Calhoun. of the local company,
who has competed against Rosenber-
ger twice, and who succeeded in get
ting second place each time, will be
on a short mark.
