Stars Are Ready for the Ma
tional Championships at
Baltimore Next
Saturday.
BY ABEL Il. KIVIkT.

There is no doubt that athletic his
tory will be made next Saturday at the
senior national A. A. L. championships
in Baltimore. War or no war, the
American athletes have been training
with the nationals in view.
Although the games will lack inter
national flavor on account of the war,
competition will be keen.
With Drew, the American champion;
Meyer, the metropolitan and indoor ma
tioral champion, AM Fond and Seward,
both Intercollegiate champions, the
hundred should be hard fought This
looks like Drew as the winner.
The same group nd young Carroll
of the Pittsburgh A. A., who made a
very good showing last year at the. ma
tionals in Chicago and the previous
wear at Pittsburgh, will again fight it
out in the 220. As to the furlong,
Meyer, of the Irish Club, looks best,
provided his recent injury doesn't re-
act on him.
The quarter appears to be Tom Hal
pin's, with Desmond and Half follow
ing him to the, tape. Wilkie, the Yale
quarter miller, now competing for the
New York Athletic Club, and Homer
Baker provided he startsl are the DARK
horses. The half mile is Homer Baker
race, with Dave Caldwell, Boston A. A.
for second, and Granger, the eX-Dar-
mouth boy, for third money.
The mile will be the feature race OF
the entire championships II the track
is in the best of condition. Jimmy
Powers, who has returned from SIX
month trim through the Antipodes;
Norman Tabor, the Rhode Islander, last
wears winner; Willie Gordon, the Yon-
kers how "phenom."; Joe Ray, OF Chr
caoo. and Kiviat will start. The above
quintet have all done 1920, and TABOR
Powers and Kiviat have beaten 4:lo'
John Paul Jones's record or Ana 20;
made on May 81, 1918, at the Harvard
Stadium, is likely TO suffer.
If there is a fast pace for the hrsI
half the winner will be forced 10 oreaH
the record IN order to win, unless there
g a great deal Of jockeying, and then
the race will be fast only IN the last
The five mile should be won by Ray
that is, if he doesn't race, IN the nlIe
beforehand. Kyronen, the flhn u, w,
American. may be second ana Io"
Barden third. -, uouoi,.
