The South Atlantic Association of
the Amateur Athletic Union will hold
its annual games tomorrow at Home
wood Field, in Baltimore, beginning at
o'clock. This is the first time the
association championships have been
conducted in years, the rule then in
force, which prevented the entrance of
college and school athletes. practically
forbidding the holding Of the games
because of a scarcity of entries from
club athletes.
Four colleges and one school will
have men in the events. Catholic Uni
versity. Georgetown, Maryland Agri-
cultural College and Johns Hopkins
are the degree-giving institutions to
be represented, while St. Adams is the
school. st. Adams. according to the
list of entries published in Baltimore
paper. has but one man slated for
competition. Brewer, the Splinter. be-
ing due to take part in the 100-yard
dash.
Low, Weidmann and Robertson will
represent Georgetown in the field
events Low is to take part in the
high lump. and Weidmann will com
pete in the discus throw and pole vault
Robertson is slated for the pole vault,
too.
Catholic University's entries are cen
dashes. The Brooklanders' main de-
tendency in each event is Field, the
man who won the South Atlantic In
tercollegiate quarter at charlottesville
in so 3-5 seconds. George Horn ana
Carl Horn of c. L. are both entered in the
ic oil tn "a
lie 22O.
NJ A. c. has nine or ten men scat
tered throughout the events. Morris is
entered in the 100 and 22O. Chapman in

pley in the high jump. Speidell in the
pole vault, M. c. Brown in the broad
jump and hop. step and jump, and
Posey in the shotput. Several of these
stand good chances to place
Johns Hopkins has put big squad
in the competition, and will have men
in every event. 1t should score a lot
of points. Practically all the other en-
trants are representatives of athletic
clubs in and around Baltimore.
Field. provided he gets good posi-
ton on the track. ought to be the ia
vorite in the quarter. There will be
no other man in the race who can do
as well as he did at Charlottesville.
The work of several of the other men
performance the event will be just a
question Of who get the places. 1t
will be remembered that Hall of Hop
kins and Chapman of M. \. c. put up
a remarkable race in the South Allan
tic intercollegiate half in the George
town indoor meet. and the event to-
morrow should be between them. Weld
mann of Georgetown ought to win the
pole vault, with Speidell of NJ. A. c.
standing good chance to get second
place. Low should show well in the
high jump, with Posey of NJ. A. c. fig

NJ. A. C. has defeated every man
entered in the mile, but is hardly in
as good shape now as then.

McCarty got in the way of one of
Blodgett's fast balls and received the
rather serious injury. The work of
the Blue and Gray team was good,
although it faltered in its defense on
two or three occasions. Harry Kelley
pitched good ball. allowing the Navy

been for misplays it is doubtful if
the Midshipmen would have scored.
Blodgett gave Georgetown the same
