ENTRY BLANKS.OUT
FOR BIG TOME MEET
Port Deposit Meet Scheduled for
May 8 Takes Place Of Hop
kins Affair.

PORT DEPOSIT. Md. April 3.-Entry
blanks are out for the big field and
track meet to be held on the Tome
School track Saturday. May y. For
merly this meet was an annual AFFAIR
but four years ago Tome gave over the
date to Johns Hopkins, and for the last
four years that institution has been
holding meet. This year Tome is
again in the field and Johns Hopkins
has given up the idea.
AS in former years. there will be in
addition to the twelve regular events,
namely, 100. 200. 40. $50. mile, 12o
and 200 hurdles, shot. hammer.
high jump, broad, jump, and
pole vault. seventy-fve.yard dash
ronovices, a 66o-yard run for novices,
and three events for country schools.
ty-five-yard dash, 20-yard dash,
and S80-yard dash. There will also be
three relay races. an. open relay. q
country school relay. and faculty re-
lay. This last event Is an entirely new
feature of the meet.
Some time ago the management sent
out letters asking the different schools
II they would be interested in trying
to get their faculties to send relay
team, and these inquiries met with such
hearty response that the event seems
to be a certainty. For once the boys
will have an opportunity to see their
teachers in an athletic exhibition. The
management expects that this event
will probably be the most interesting
event Of the day.
Tome seal fob medals in gold silver
and bronze will be awarded in each
event. A handsome loving cup has been
ordered. and will be given the indi-
vidual scoring the most points. The
team prizes in the two classes will be a
silver-mounted oak plaque and silk
banner, respectively.

Chicago Fails to Bet
On Championship Battle

CHICAGO. April 3.-Chicago is lay
Ing Off the Johnson-Willayd fight, so
far as betting its money on the out
come Is concerned. A jaunt around
sporting hangouts today failed to re-
veal a single open book at any odds
