Technical High and the Lincoln Ath-
letic Club played one Of the best games

year. The contest was solely pitch
ers' battle between Onutt Of Lincoln
and Hird Of Tech. and the honors were

and struck out eight, while offutt was

Drew. the colored Splinter, runs with a
I, bad tendon in his leg. Drew has been
sprinting under this handicap some
| time. AS matter of fact, the injury
dates back to the Olympic games Of
| 1912. when Drew was unable to do him
self justice because OF the pulled mus
Gle. Mike Murphy at that time said
| that Drew was going to be a world s
champion, and just how much Murphy
knew is shown by the records since
| vania last Saturday. where Drew ran
| the 100 three times consecutiyely in 10
seconds fiat, he had his leg in a stiff
bandage. How fast Drew would be If
| every muscle in his legs was in good
| shape is a matter Of speculation. but
it is very probable that he would be
consistently 2-5 of a second better in
the century.
