WORLD s FAIR TO

Athletes of World viii Gather

Rival Olympic Games.

NEW YORK, March 24.-James f.
Sullivan. director of athletics of the
Panama Pacific International exposi-
ton. who has been in California
working athletic matters connected
with the amateur athletic union and
the exposition for a period of nearly
three weeks, returned 10 this city
and spoke in glowing terms of the
prospects Of track and field sports in
the west and stated that the work in
connection with the exposition is far
advanced and anticipates that every
thing will be inreadiness long before
the time for the opening of the fair.
Among other things Mr.. Sullivan Said:
The Olympic club and the Pacific
association of the A. a. L. await the
coming of the athletic stars of the
world. The Olympic club will leave
no stone unturned TO have a cham
pionship team in the field.
Before leaving San Francisco Pres
ident Humpries informed me that the
club had secured a twO-year lease on
the ball park in the heart of the city,
in which it will build a quarter-mile
running track and athletic field where
the athletes of the world can train
when they are in the Golden Gate
city in 1915.
Il predict that the total number Of
entries received will be between 5000
and 10000. All of these blue ribbon
events of the athletic world have
been assigned TO the exposition and
there is no doubt that the attractions
will bring to San Francisco teams
from each and every country in the
world that is athletic. and the world
will witness contest that will be hard
ly second to the Olympic games"

Pilot Smiths Benders should pre-

they are to be of the same fashion that

The suits themselves will be gray
with a light blue stripe running
through the goods. The breasts OF
the players will be graced with a blue

running gear of the athletes will be
encased in blue stockings while blue
caps will adorn their heads. The new
suits provide an abundance of sugges-
tons for suitable name for the team.
blue Sox," Giants" "Grays," are a
few that might do.
That the Benders will play a series
, of games with Notre Dame lies upon
the possibility of Manager Smith sue
ceeding in finding open dates in the
university teams schedule. Coach
Harper gave the schedule to the pilot
Of the Blenders Monday night and if
he can find open dates that do not
conflict with the schedule of the big

played.
