Good Track Team
NEW MEN SHOWING wELL-ALL
OLD MEN ARE IN GOOD
FORM.

MoRGANToWN, May 6.-Recent
and showings OF new
candidates at the State University
have brought out added impetus to the
interest in the meet with Marietta and
Wesleyan colleges tobe held at Clarks'
burg on May go Without dissenting
vote, the university is going to be
represented by probably its best team
in all time. It is not only the large
number Of contestants for places that
is making the work interesting, but
the spirit Of the men who are tryins
for the coveted places to represent
State on the track.
Newman and Brannon are daily
showing the form that bids fair to
put these men in the front rank in the
hammer throw and shot put. New.

in the hammer throw, and his present
form. just means that there Is one
record that is going to- replaced at
Clarksburg. Brannon, too, Is display

fast pace in the discus throw and his
work to date has been most satisfying

others are fast rounding into shape,
an deach night trial heats are COM

The competition is keen for dash men,
as also for the low and high hurdles.
Griffith, Blosser, West and Stead
man are certainly giving evidence OF
wonderful ability in the longer runs,
from the, quarter.mtle including the
two.mile event, These men ran one
OF the fastest two.mile heats in trial
the other night that has been record

Freudel, Tuckweiler and Hague are

Clyde Milan is one of the greatest
little baseball players in the world.
He is an earnest, thoughtful. rather
quiet fellow, ambitious, honest and q
hard worker always. His heart is in
the game. He has held on year after
year among the leaders in batting, in
drawing bases on balls, in base runs
ming and In fielding.
This is the story of his success.
Years ago, when was q boy in
FIillsboro, o.. our back lot" was the
favorite ball field for all the boys.
Frank Emmerling was the name of q
iewelcr in the town and one day there
came to his home his brothers boy,
an orphan, Fritz Emmerling. He
came from Germany and spoke no
word of English.
He got among US, watched lis play
baseball, and in month, before he
had picked up the language, he was
talking baseball argot, and playing
ball better than any of us. He learned
our ways quickly, became a cracking
ball player, a royal good, reckless
youth.
One day Fritz quarrelled with his
uncle and disappeared.
In that fall received letter from
Emmcrling at Bristol. Tenn. saying he
had a. ball player on his ssemi:pEe5tea
