tight.
A. n. S. jackson, the worlds greatest
miller, carried off the honors of the day
for Oxford in the big four-mile relay at
the Penn game on Saturday. When
Jackson was ushered in to run, his mates
had placed him at disadvantage by a
setback of ten yards, He was opposed
by McCurdy, the doughty Penn miller
When the runners entered into the final
lsprint they were neck and neck and con-
tinued that way until the tape was
lbroken. jackson won by bare foot.
The track was damp and heavy, which
however did not detract interest in the
least. Both runners were exhausted
after their trying run and were obliged
to be carried off the field. The showing
made by Penn was revelation to the
spectators as Oxford was conceded as
impossible 90 beat.
| Yale should have an exceptionally fast

defeated his namesake, Walter johnson,
last week, gives indications of develop
ing into star. His services were sought
by eleven major league clubs last fall.

state league pitcher.
Manager Fred Clarke is admitting
that he is proud of his Pirates, who are
holding a commanding lead in the Ma
tional league, but adds that such lead
has little significance at this time of
the year He is right, though, when he
says that seven victories count as much
now as at the end of the year
Umpire Bill Klem's armor is the last
word in chest protectors. 1t is made
of tough fibre, which cushions against
the body by means OF leather rolls
stuffed with hair. 1t fits snugly around
the neck and offers springy resistance
to foul tips, which is sure to insure him
against any more splintered collar
bones.

Frank Gilhooley, the brilliant little
a. - IL Ii
club for Frank Truesdale, the second
saeker, may possibly be back in the
fold before the close of
the present season. When Chance traded
he did not relinquish all claim to the
as President Farrell has the
option of recalling him in August. Gill
hooley's only weakness seems to be in
throwing.
Apparently Long Larry Mclean is
keeping in condition this spring. The
big fellow has been hitting the ball with
all his might and as result has neat
little batting average. His work behind
the bat has been noteworthy in the abb
sence of Chief Meyers, who is out of the
game for few weeks. After joining
the Giants last summer McIean's con-
duct has been the most unblemished in
his career as big Lacquer.

weeks negotiations this special match
was arranged.
