DREW,s RIVAL HURT.
Parker the Wonderful Californian Sprinter Pulls Tendon in Practice.

Sprinter Pulls Tendon in Practice.
 San Francisco, Aug 5.-A tinge of gloom invaded the general joy and optimism over the coming national cham mpionships of the A. A. U. here Friday and Saturday when word was circulated today among the groups of athletes that one of the greatest men developed on the Pacific coast in years had been injured and probably would be unable to compete. George Parker the wonderful sprinter of the Olympic club of San Francisco, pulled a tendon badly during a tinre trial on the exposition track at dusk yesterday and was so lame today that his trainer refused to let him leave his room.
 Parker shares the worlds record or the 220 yard dash with Bernie Wefers, now coach of the New York A. C., whose mark has stood since 1900, when he was starring for Georgetown. Parker stood head and < shoulders over all sprinters in this part of the country except Howard F. Drew, the little negro, and even was expected to defeat the latter in the furlong, though not regarded as quite as fast in the hundred. He was a member of the American team that cleaned up in Austria a year ago.
 The injury of Parker is the first one of any consequence that has be- fallen any of the originally favored en- trants for the championship since Homer Baker of the New Yorks hurt himself in motorcycle smashup three months ago. The Californian had worked out complete schedule for his last weeks training, which included as it's high spot a speed trial for the full furlong distance yester- day. All of our Millrose men had con- cluded their work for the day and gone back to the hotel before he came to the track, but several atl- letes who were doing their work in the late twilight that prevails here about saw his rnishap
 Parker shot from the mark right with the gun, picked up his running remarkable quick and was whirling along in beautiful style until just bit before the 200 yard mark was reached. At this point he began what sprinters call "the jump''- swinging from the long stride to the short chop, where all form is forgotten and the man just strives with all his power to exert the last ounce of his speed and strength. As he made, the sudden transition something snap- ped. He nearly fell headlong and was obliged to hop along on one foot to slow down.
 Parker's misfortune has caused keen regret generally, because the far Westerners had been doing so we'll as a body that they bade fair to give the East g hot run for intersectional honors in the games. Though the entrants from the East are fewer in number, most of them are top not-s chers eexpected to be certain point scorers, so that the West really seem ed a frif1e weaker. Those who hope for close sectional battle would have preferred to see some Fastener hurt Parkers ill luck now makes the East appear certain victor,

CAN PACKEY COME BACK?.
Boxing Sharps Think Layoff Ha, Slowed Him and Gibbons win Win.

' Would you consider that Packey Mcfarland had wandered so far from ring doings in the past two years as to be grouped with the army of come backs? Two years without drawing on glove is rated pretty long time by most of the pugilistic wiseacres. especially in the case of a temperm en- tai cuss like Packey. Furthermore. they say that Packey is meeting the very best that the earth affords in Mike Gibbons, with Mike holding a positive advantage over Packey be- cause Gibbons has been on the job all the time.
 Tn stretch of two years a man, even though he be as great boxer as Mcfarland, will lose lot of his speed, wind and unqIestionably his Judgment of chin distance. McFarland ehould takeson few trial horses first the knowing ones say, as a man must fight himself back into form. Perhaps light of the scheduled ten rounds in the fight of September Il will be burned up by Packey before he dis covers that he is not hooking and Jabbing with the same startling pre- over the available boys 0 a few years
 
 off he would win.
 Just now Packey is pleasant ring memory. No one can quite remember his ever doing anything that wasn't marvellous in the ring. Fans think of him as they would of I.avigne, Cans Dixon, Ketche1. Dempsey, Fitzsim mons or any of the arts of the roped Circle. If he should come along now and make natural bust of it against the ever ready Mike, especially when he is to be paid little over $58a a minute as 2 reward for changing Mikes facial makeup in any manner possible, he will have earned nothing but disgrace in the minds of the fans Where is no especial bonus offered fo, black eyes or broken noses, but since Packey Is to draw down SIT, 500 K 1T real or stage money the crowd vii expect something more exciting thar Bangor afternoon tea
 Yes, two years is as bad as five to be away from active ring duty. : said Dan Morgan yesterday. Dan i, keen judge of fighting chaps ane folks generally lean on his shoulde1 to get an aarfuI of sound fighting lo sic.

UlyBEATEN MARE Is
 DISTANCED IN HEAT
Low Jennings, Who Has Won
 Every Race This Year, Gets Flag

Kalamazoo, Mich, Aug. 5.--1n spite of mud and rain the Grand Circuit meeting finally was started yesterday after being rosponed twice. The condition of the track did not hamper the sport, as there were many exciting finishes and the time was good for stich going.
 Lou Jennings, which had won every start thus far this season, not only was beaten in her event, the 2:O9 trot, but acted so badly she wasdistanced in the second heat. Naturally she was a strong fayorite over the lot. Another good thing also went astray. The Enc was the choice in the 2:1S trot, an early closing event. Winning the first heat by a nose, he was taken into camp thereafter by St. Frisco, with Ed Geers driving, and every time the latter finished first there was applause for this is the real Geers town.
 The 2:0S pace was rattled off in straight heats by Aconite. In the first one Ben Locanda took the lead in the stretch and Cox had to hustle Acon- ites to beat Murphy nose. Margot Hal had big lead on the backstretch in the second heat, but Aconite over hauled her in the last part, winning by half a length. The third heat was easier for Aconite, he being in front when they reached the final straight away.
 m Congressman Samuel McMillan of New York yesterday bought the Call ifornia trotter, Leo Blossom, brought East by Frank Childs. She will be raced by John Wall On the coast this s mare was highly regarded. but she has not done much here. The sum- maries:

GERMAN INFLUENCE
 SECOND TO NONE
For Freedom, Religion, Culture
 and Good Citizenship in U. s.

San Francisco, Aug. 5.-German in- Guence in America for freedom, edu- cation, religion, culture and good citi- zenship was proclaimed second to none, in an address here today by pr. C. J. Hexamer of PennsyTvania. presi- dent of the National German-Ameri- can Alliance. Dr. Hexisner was the principal speaker at German Day et the Panama Pacific exposition.
 What Greece was to Rome" he said, Germany in the widest sense IS to our beloved land. only with the fnrther distinction and advantage m our favor that the GrveK brought to Rome with his culture disgusting sem sual vices while the German with his culture brings to his new home sturdy integrity and purc and happy family life.''
 Saved American Army.
 German Day. at the exposition was set for early August, he explained, in commemoration of manirestoes issued in Philadelphia, August 1, TITS, by German churches and socIeties de- claring for independence. he cited his torians to show that at rne Battle of Long Island, The Thermopylae of the American revolution." Pennsylvania rifiemen under the German colonel, John Peter Kichlein saved the Ameri- can army.
 ""The Teuton does not derive law directly from the will of the nation D the speaker quoted. "'TIe claims for himself an inborn right which the state must protect, but which if does not create and for which he is ready to fight against the world.
 Given Us by Germans.
 Easter, Christmas, and Sunday schools, the speaker said, were given us by Germans.
 Tt may interest those who believe that all culture came from New Eng. land to know that the first ladies seminary in the United states was es. tablished by the Moravians at Beth iehem, Pa, in 1749," Dr. Hexamei continued. "In our educational sys tenn. German influence has been para mount, from the kindergarten to tn university"
 Asks No Political Eavors. | The speaker said the German American asks no political favor l and prostitutes his votes for no one. He said the census showed that Ger niand had furnished about thirty pc cent. of our so-called foreign popu l lation, while England-which quot without insidiousness for compariso l orly-gave us about eleven per cent including those from Wales. l Quiet in their tastes, deeply al sorbed in their peaceful avocations ( life, undemonstrative to the verge ( l diffidence, without clannish proper l sites, they have permitted their mol aggressive neighbors to deny them
