MARION INSTITUTE l. ENTERS TEAM FOR
 B. A. |. ROAD RACE
Chances of Acipco Smaller. Alabama to Be Watched. Five Are Entered
 Unattached

The Marion institute will enter a team in the B. A. c. three-mile road race on Saturday afternoon. This announcement authorities who promised nothing but to have a good team here for the race.
 The entry of Marion runs the number of teams up to seven, At the present only five runners have qualified as individuals. but the number Is expected to decidely increase before Saturday.
 Howard, B. A. C., I. NJ. c, A., Central High school, Marion, Acpco and the Uni- versity of Alabama are the teams that have entered thus far. Although the odds favor Acipco the winner of last year s race. to repeat their performance, the recent strength of Alabamas team is seriously questioning the belief.
 The progress of any of the other teams is unknown, but all are being counted on to make the race closer. Probably the best individual runner Is Locke of the Atlanta Athletic club who won the individual honors last year. Several local runners have already been quoted as saying that the veterans record would not hold for the coming episode. The enthusiasm and interest at the present practically assures a great race.
 The entry list to date follows: Marion (members of team unknown).
 Unattached-Locke of Atlanta Athletic club, John Graham, John Connors, Perry and Martin.
 Central Y. NJ. c. A.--Louis Densier. Sterling Edwards Charles Stapleton, J.. B. Chisholm, Farror Sherrod and w. il. Stoves.

LES DARCY.

In the last year three boxers have jumped into prominence. Two of them are known quantities. The ability of the third is shrouded in more or less mystery, but the fact that he has been selected to be the first to oppose Jess Willard since the latter won the heavy weight championship of the world from "Jack" Johnson entities him to men, tion with the others-"Les" Darcy, the Australian middleweight, and Johnny" Ertle. the St. Paul "Kewpie.' They represent three divisions. Ertle Is bantamweight, Darcy is middlweight, and Fulton, a heavyweight, is known as the Rochester Giant" Darcy's fame was enhanced when he stopped Eddie" McGoorty Ertle polished his own reputation when "I<id" Williams lost to him on a foul. Fulton came out of the "back woods" when he asserted he had floored Willard in an exhibition bout.

On an average about one pitcher of each staff is out of the game at all times. This would be the same as having only three pitchers. Ili addition there will be far more liability next season of a pitcher being called upon fer relief. With the lower salary limit, the veterans and expensive pitchers must naturally be cast adrift, as was done in the case of Aitchison at Chattanooga.
 The staffs must, then, be composed of youngsters, which IS a stronger argument in favor of more pitchers. A young pitch e- would naturally "blow'' quicker and be less effective. Nervousness is con- mon feature of the recruits, which arises from the men on the paths and the lack of experience. There are very few ex- captions and the indications point to an abundance of young players in the cir cult next season.
 Every indication points to the 140-game schedule in 1916. It will be decided at the league meeting next week.

 There was but one sole object in view when the board reduced the player and salary limit-and that was to reduce oper- ating expenses. The savings which will be made by the reduction of the limits will offset the profits for the two weeks additional schedule The board probably had this fact in mind when they unmer- cifully reduced the expenses for the 'home county"
 If the schedule is not reduced to 140 games it will be practically impossible to play the 154 games with 14 men. The majority of the clubs carry utility man and two catchers which would leave four pitchers, the maximum number that any club could afford For four pitchers to work in 154 games seems almost unrea- sonable, but if they were iron mem and in the best of condition at all times the feat might be accomplished in the five and half months.
