Judge Marvel Receives Tele-

View of Situation
ISSUE LETTER OF
APPEAL WITH BOOK

Former Judge David T. Marvel. who
Is chairman OF the committee in
charge of Belgium relief, this morn
ing received the following telegram
which emphasizes the necessity foI
further aid for sufferers in The wal
zone:
New York. Dec. 10. 1915.
David r. Marvel. DUPONT Build
ing. Wilmington. Del.
The commission for relief In
Belgium wishes to correct the er-
roneous impression caused by
statement that was made public
to the effect that there was no fur
ther need for benevolent relief in
Belgium. on the contrary, we de-
sire TO emphasize that the need
in Belgium as the severe winter
is approaching. is greater than
ever. We are now concentrating
with the magnificent cooperation
Of our State committees through
out the country. All of our ef-
forts on the collection OF cloth
ing. piece goods and shoes so
that the sufferings OF the unfortu-
nate victims of war In Belgium
and northern France may be mi-
tigated so far as possible by the
generosity Of the American pub
lie, which has already responded
so liberallyas to win the admira-
tion OF the world. Misapprohen-
sion seems to have arisen over the
fact that supply OF foodsufs for
Belgium is temporarily being pro-
vided through generosity Of other
parts Of the world

COrnelPS Team Has q
WQlkOper for Point Cup

PHILADELPHIA, May 30.-Ted Mere
dith's brilliant victories In the quarter
and half mile runs overshadowed the
winning OF the team championship by
Cornell and a new record in the high
jump by w. NJ. Oler. OF Yale. in the
&c rtieth annual intercollegiate track and
field games yesterday on Frenklin Field.
The Ithacans totaled 461a points. Har-
ward was second with 26 points and
Yale third with 5. Princeton upset pre-
dictions by tying with Pennsylvania for
fourth place with p points. The other
Loint winners finished as follows: Mich
Maine, 8: Penn State. 6; Johns Hop
kins, IN; Massachusetts, Institute OF
Technology. /. and Bowdoin. !.
The performances Of Meredith. who
wore the Red and Blue of the University
OF Pennsylvania. were little short of
the early sos to find q similar per-
formance. and the times made then ap-
pear colossal beside the marks OF today.
Every one knew that Meredith was a
horse for work. but even the most opti-
mistic considered the task the runner
had cut out for himself as far beyond
human possibilities. Entered against
such a field as Wilcox. Of Harvard, and
Wilkie. Of Yale In the quarter mile. the
PENNSYLVANIA had to open up in order
distance In forty-eight seconds, thereby
equaling the present intercolle giate rec
ord held by c. d. Reidpath. of Syra-
, cuse. He had a three and half yard
| lead at the finish.
An hour and half later this same
runner defeated Speiden, of Cornell. and
Hayes, of Princeton. In the half mile in
the splendid time of one minute fifty
four and two-tifths seconds. just one
second more than the record. His COM
petitors in this event had him well
boxed until they rounded the corner
into me home stretch, when Ted was
forced to cut around two runners be-
fore he could start to overhaul Speiden.
He cut down the few yards advantage
of the Ithacan despite a stubborn re-
sistance and he breasted the tape five
yards In the lead.
Another record In addition to the one
made yesterday in the hammer throw
by Bailey was broken twice yesterday.
Oler. OF Yale, cleared feet ~ inches
in the high Jump and Richards. of Cor
nell, did s feet S1s inches, both Of them
thereby breaking the former mark of
feet 81 inches made In 1907 by T. Moffit

whether Morgan Is to be retained at
second base for the Griffmen The
same thing holds true for Thirty
pays Ainsmith. Yes. and the writer
has heard a number Of fans ask why
some other other Griffmen are retained
In the regular lineup. But the prin-
cipal complaint seems to be against
Morgan and Ainsmith, who have failed
most disastrously.
Another complaint being heard here
abouts 10 why Joe Engel Is not tried out
by Manager Griffith. Engel has been
with the Washington team since 1912
This season he has appeared In Just two
games. against Philadelphia and against
ball: but the fans wonder why he 10 not
used more often II he Is worth keeping
on the roster. Perhaps the Old Fox has
a deep scheme In mind that he will not
disclose regarding Ensel but the fans
are asking for Information.
The Griffmen have little chance to
win the pennant of 1915, no matter what
certain writer's have to say. What

to speak of winning the flag You fans
may be kidded into believing that the
team has a chance, but that is your
own fault, so long as you look upon the
lineup that has represented this city
Tor the past three seasons. You should
know better. You should know that the
