PENN RELAY RUNNERS
HAVE GREAT RECORD
Since 1895 Quakers Have Won
q Championships at Its Car
nival.

Some surprising results were obtained
recently in ClanCing over the winners OF
tho various events since the relay Carni-
val was started In ls95. The most sur
prisInE result was that Pennsylvania has
won more than double the number of
relay championships than those won by
any other college, In all, Penn has won
2l relay championships Of America. In
both tho two and four miles Penn has
won eight championships, The une-mile
championship has gone to Pennsylvania
three times. while the freshman cham
piOnship has been won by Pennsylvania
on two occasions.
Yale is second on the list for champion
ship honOrs, having won the oue-milc five
times. the twO-mile three times and the
four-mile twice. i'm all 10 championships.
Michigan comes next with eight victories.
six of which wcro won In the fnur-mile
race and two in the two-milc champion
ship.
Though Michigan has had several fine
One-milc teams, thCy have never vet won
that Championships Harvard ties Yale with
the number of ViCtarics in the one-m mile
championship, having scored i've times.
They have one victory to their credit I'm
the two and the four-mc championships.
Chicago has been very successful in the
onc-mile championship, which they have
won five times. Coach StaEE has always
been a great developer Of quarter mllers.
ana the years IN WhlCH ne mas not won,
his teams have always been close to tho
front.
Illinois and Princeton are next, with
three victories each, Princeton has won
tho two-mne championship once and the
freshman championship twice. Illinois
has scored one victory each i'm the one
mile two miles and tlie freshmen cham
pionship. Dartmouth has two victories
to her credit, one i'm the two miles and
one in the freshman championship
Cornell, Columbia, Syracuse and oxford
University each have one victory to their
credit.
The surprise Of this list is the fact that
Cornell has only won one victory out Of
the many times they have bccn at
Franklin Field This may he due to
the fact that Coach Moakloy does not
desire to get his men in shape for these
events though in many quarters It has
been attributed 10 hard luck
In the early DAYS Of the races Yale and
Harvard were the most prominent win
ners in the relay championships, but just
as in the last 10 years these two colleges
have given away in track athletics to
Pennsylvania, Cornell and Dartmouth at
times, so now they are not quite so prom
lnent as some OF the other universities,

BLNGLE AND BUNGLE
IN DIAMOND DOPE

Notice who is up at the top of the Ma
tlonal League today. Also see who Is
just behind. Charley Dooin's prediction
about the Reds pitching staff appears to

control there are few better pitchers than

Jones and called him into the room.
Tom, I want YOU to do my business

you say?"
As experienced as Jones is he was
taken off his feet by the nerve OF that
declaration. lie hesitated for a moment.

MACK TO USE SHAWKEY
TOLIVEN MORGUE-LIKE
LOOKS OF SHIBE PARK
Athletics Right = h a n d e +
Slated to Pitch Today in
Effort to Capture at
Least One Game From
Donovan's Bunch.

During the last few days, Shibe Park
has had the general appearance of a
morsuc. TO be sure there have been
many illuminating plays and many which
were a credit to the Mackmcu, yet the
poor pitching has resulted In temporary
slump by the team rs whole.
This afternoon Mack intends to use
his dependable rIghthander. Robert Shaw
key, to rescue the third game from the
Yankees. Mack is determined that he
will make it n draw with Donovan's
people.
In order to accomplish this he must
capture today's affair and follow that
with victory tomorrow. Connie is
therefore bent upon having Shawkey and
Lapp for his battery, against Donovan's
selection which probably will be Brown
and Sweeney. If the erstwhile Athletics
hurlcr is not used against the White
Elephants. Warhop will get the assign
mCnt.
Otherwise the Iine-ups of the two teams
will be the same as in that disastrous
game yesterday, when the Yanks had the
better of a long drawn-Out argument
with the score IL to t,
Yesterday the Mackmcn made enough
hits to win almost any old ball game eN-
Cept the one in which they happened to
be. Fifteen times, Athletic cloutsmen
slammed the ball safely off the delivery
of Ray Caldwell, yet they made only six
tallies. The difference in the runs is ac-
counted for by the misplays Of the AS
who had six charged against them Two
OF these were long, wild throws by Lapp
ana really formed the turning point of
tho game,
Herb Pennock got off to II bad start
which resulted i'm his retirement after
the sixth inning. In the seventh Wilbur
Davis, the man who has often hit the
Trail of the Lonesome Pine, went in.
Wilbur was wild and Ineffective, but the
Yanks were so far ahead that they did
not dent the young pitchers feelings as
severely as ,they might, had they been
pressed.
