HOWARD DREW GETS
STARTED FOR EAST
Sensational Splinter Will Enter
Newark Championships.

NEW YORK. Aug. S.-Latest reports
form the Pacific Coast indicate that
Howard p. Drew. the whirlwind sprint
or from Los Angeles. will not take
part In the Far Western tryouts. which
will be contested at San Diego. Cal. on
August 10.
Drew will probably leave California
in a few days. heading direct for Pitts
burgh. Pa. where he is scheduled to
start in a big set of games on August
10. It is believed that, the former ma
tionai sprint champion has decided to
forego the pleasure Of winning the dash
at the Far West tryouts for the bene-
fit of his racing form. He needs sew
eral weeks Of hard competition before
matching his speed against that of Joe
Loomis and the other speed boys at the
big Newark games. Drew cannot get
this racing on the coast, SO he's coming
this way to test his speed on the East
ern tracks before going against the
best sprinters In America on September
8.
II has been reported here that the
coast athletes have shown but very
little enthusiasm to date for the national
championships. and possibly Drew's
move in passing up the Far West try
outs is the result of the reported lack
of interest on the part Of the Western
II had been expected that the coast
would send not less than thirty and
possibly as many as forty men to New
ark, but the latest advices Indicate
that far less than that total will make
the trip.

Roosevelt Refuses

Roosevelt was nominated Saturday
by the Progressive national conven-
ton after four days of uproar and
tumult in which the delegates never
wavered in allegiance or cast pass
ing glance upon another man.
Three minutes before the conyen-
ton adjourned until another time,
Chairman Raymond Robins read to
them a brief message from Oyster
Bay in which Mr.. Roosevelt declined
to accept the nomination at this time,
Colonel Roosevelt's answer to the
Progressive convention follows:
81 am very grateful for the honor
you confer upon me by nominating
me as president. l cannot accept it
at this time.
81 do not know the attitude of the
candidate of the Republican party to-
ward the vital questions of the day.
Therefore, if you desire an immediate
decision, | must decline the nomina-
ton. But if you prefer it, I suggest
that my conditional refusal be placed
in the hands of the Progressive ma
tional committee.
"If Mr. Hughes statements, when
he makes them, shall satisfy the COM
mittee that it is for the interest of
the country that he be elected, they
can act accordingly. and treat my re-
fusal as definitely accepted.
"If they are not satisfied, they can
so notify the Progressive party and
at the same time they can confer with
me and then determine on whatever
action we may severally deem ap-
propriate to meet the needs of the
country.
