Track and Field Stars
Will Clash at. Fair

Nippe, the Chicago A. A. entry, is
fully two minutes slower than REM.
w. Plant, Of the Long Island A. G.,
will probably force REM out. II. W.
Fitzpatrick, Of the Southern Associa-
ton, is the only other entry.
II. T. Worthington. of the Boston
A. A., is the best of the broad jump
ers. He has been clearing close TO
"a feet all season. and his strongest
opposition will probably come from
Sol Butler, the Iowa negro, who did
"a feet Ply inches in the Western
try-outs. Worthngton is the more
consistent of the two, and unless But
Ter has another exceptional day the
title should be Worthingtons. Plat
Adams, the old New York A. c. war
horse: c. Stiles, Of the University of
Wisconsin; Dan Ahearn, of the llli-
nois A. c.; Herbert Johnston, of the
Southern Association, and F. L. Ma
ker, of the University of California,
make up the field.
The high jump will bring into
prominence Eddie Beeson, of the
Olympic Club, holder of the worlds
record of feet 7 5-l6 inches. II
Bceson is in form he will be unbeat-
able, and he will be ably assisted in
taking the title to the West by George
HORNE, former worlds record holder,
and l.. A. Nichols, of the University
Of California. Joe LOOMS, the pres
ent title holder, cannot go quite as
high as Beeson as yet. nor can Alma
Richards, the Cornell University Chi
cago A. A. jumper. Neither ID. w.
Walker. of the New York A. c., nor
NJ. j. Fahey, of the Irish-American A.
C., has much chance of scoring.
Pole Vault Is Open.
The pole vault seems to be an open
event, with Kenneth Curtis, of the New
York A. c.; 7. Graham, of the Chicago
A. A.; p. Knourek, of the Illinois A. c.,
and S. Bellah, of the Multnomah A. A.,
as the entries. Graham. Knourek and
Bellah have done close 70 y feet 10
inches this spring, and the fastener
will probably be outclassed.
Dan Ahearne, of the Illinois A. c., is
the outstanding figure in the hop, step
and jump.
with George Bronder, of the Irish
American A. c., and Plat Adams, of
the New York A. c., the East seems to
be reasonably sure of winning the
javelin throwing contest. There are no
entries from the Middle West and the
only men Bronder and Adams will have
to meet are Fee, Of the Multnomah A.
A., and O. Snedigar, of the Olympic
Club, both from the Coast.
Jim Duncan, of New York, and Arlie
Mucks. of the University Of Wisconsin,
will probably have a tussle in the dis
Gus throw. Both have been close TO
record figures in competition lately,
with the odds in favor of Mucks. C..
Bagnard, of the Southern Association,
and NJ. Alderman, of the Pacific Asso-
citation, will meet Mucks and Duncan.
In the weight events a fine field will
assemble, with Pat Ryan, of the Irish
American A. c.. the favorite in the
hammer throw, and J. c. Lawlor, of
the Boston Irish-American A. A, IA
vored in the shot put Kenneth Nc
Cutcheon. the Cornell giant, will
try both events for the Pittsburgh A.
A.. and Mucks will do the same for
the Chicago a. A. Lee Talbot, the
former Eastern intercollegiate cham
uior, will strive to come back in the
hammer throw, competing for the Kan
sas City A. c. c. ". Bachman, another
Kansas City man, will try both ham
mer and shot.
The Pacific Association has entered
Shattuck, the former University Of
California champion, in the hammer
throw, and Donovan, of the San Fran
cisco Pastmc A. c., and J. MahOney,
Of the Caledonian Club. will be in the
shot put
The Eastern and Middle Western
teams appear to be well matched, and
the struggle for point honors will be
between these two. with the East IA
vored slightly.
