CHINESE STUDENTS HOLD
 BIG TRACK MEET

NaRkai school of Tientsin won the fourth North China track and field meet held recently on the grounds of the Methodist University in Pekin. Eleven schools competed, representing the three northern provinces of China.
 Tangshan Engineering College won second place in the meet. Pekin Methodist University was third, and Tsing Hua College, the school sus- tained by the Boxer indemnity money returned by the United States govern nent. won fourth place.
 Field meets were a great novelty in China until recent years, as the old type of classical student in China ab- horred exercises of all sorts, and nev- CT engaged in violent athletic games. Vice President Ii Yuan-hung and Ad- miraI Sah Tseng-ping attended the re- cent meet, and distributed the prizes to the winning athletes.
 Chi Tze-yins. of Pekin Methodist University. was probably the most conspicuous athlete in the contest. He won the 100 yards dash in 10 3-5 sec onds, and scored points for his school

NUMBERING BALL PLAYERS URGED
 IN BIG LEAGUES
Magnates Also Favor Free Score Cards And Instruc- tions To Stimulate Nation al Sport

NEW YORK, July S.-That the big league baseball magnates are study ing ways and means to make the game still more attractive to its patrons is evidenced by several suggestions and innovations now being discussed around the American and National circuits. The Cleveland club of the American league has just inaugurated a system of numbering the players in order that the casual attendant at the games may have no difficulty in iden- tifying the different members of the team. President B. B. Johnson is openly advocating the elimination of the pinch-hitter and the system now in vogue of shifting pitchers upon the slightest pretext.
 There appears to be a strong senti- ment among the fans in favor of the plan of numbering the players and it is surprising how few of the average spectators can point out with absolute certainty the various players upon the field. especially the members of the visiting club. Certain stars such as " Cobb, Johnny Evers. Benny Kauff. Walter Johnson, Grover Alexander and others of similar calibre are cas- ilv distinguished when the team is in the field. Players of lesser fame, however, are frequently mixed by those spectators who do not attend games regularly and the numbering of each member, both regular and sub stitute. should increase interest in the game. Certain close followers oi baseball have already suggested that tbe numbering innovation be extended to include the distribution Of free score cards. containing concise rules for keeping a box score. in order that every spectator be. encouraged to fol low the play with a keener understand ing of what is ,transpiring upon the diamond
 There is not the same unanimity re- earding the proposed rule to elimin- ate the pinch-hitter and relief pitcher. Some enthusiasts hold that the idea with certain limitations would improve tbe game while others areequally pos five that it would remove one pt the most interesting features of baseball --strategy-which has been developed to a high standard in the big leagues To those who delve below the surface of the national sport the battle oi wits between managers and players IS keenly appreciated. The swltchins of batters and pitchers at critical mo ments of the game frequently deYel- ops sensational plays. and is in keep ing with the American idea Of bring ing mental effort into sport as well as business.

UNCONCERN WON
 BATTLE FOR JIM

Jim COrbett tells story that goes to prove that he had his nerve with him when he fought John L. Sullivan at New Orleans.
 'I wanted to be sure that Sullivan was going to buffalo me as he had all his victims" said Jim. 50 I play ed this little game on the good old Ro- man. came to the clubhouse on the day of the fight, dressed in a new check suit, straw hat and patent leather boots. l was whistling a tune as I swung a little cane about. I made it point to be sure that Sullivan's trainers, packers and well-wishers would see me.
 "They did exactly the thing I thought they'd do-they ran and told John l.. that l was about the place looking as if l was about to indulge in a passage at parchesi. It was a dar- ing plan, now that I look back on it. for in a few hours I was to enter the ring against a man who had never been whipped in his life.

CATALINA ISLAND
 kB0UNDS IN GAME
 FISH; NOW RUNNING
Tuna Landing Not The Only Sport; Blue Perch And Rock Bass Now Favored By California Casters

SAN FRANCISCO, July S.-To the average angler, fishing in the waters about Catalina Island off the South ern California Coast, is synonymous with landing a tuna or some other giant fish as big as the average man. It is the ambition of every fisherman to match his strength, skill and stay ing powers against one of these monster game fish, so that those who make the trip to the island quite over look the fact that it's waters abound with smaller fish which, for their size, are endowed with all the neces- sary qualifications of gameness and fighting ability.
 In this connection the following interview coming from Captain n. $. Walker, an old time angler who is thoroughly familiar with every fishing ground in the locality, is of particular interest to fishermen:
 "One thing that merits more atten- tion than has been paid to it is the small fishing about Catalina. The fish now despised will one day be sought and appreciated at their true value. once men are taught how to 50 about getting from them all the sport there is to be had by fine tackle and delicate methods.
 Blue Perch Game.
 For example. the blue perch, so plentiful about the island around the reefs and up Ship Rock way particu- larly can be coaxed into taking a fly, and they are strong, lusty little beg gars with which not all the fun is done when they are dead, for they are very choice in flavor as well as hand some to look upon.
 Rock Bass Offers Sport.
 "The rock bass will eat up most of the plugs used by fresh water bass eaters and are not a bit inferior as game fish pound for pound when given chance upon light gear. allowing them to use their strength to same advantage without fighting a great sinker.
 "On the Silver canyon shore big yellowfins are plentiful and a good surf fishing is to be had there as any one desires.
 All these things will he developed and brought out in time. They will add much to the diversifyilg of the sporting attractions. Not all men care to go out and wrestle all day with big, scaly brutes that came one or two weeks; some like a little more action as they go along. The develop ment of the small fishing about Catal' ina will be of great value because it is to be depended upon the first al ways being there. and this is a work that seems to be up to the boatmen to undertake, as the Tuna Club stands pretty much committed even by name to the bigger and more sensa- tional game fish. Few men are dis appointed when they come in with a good catch of even small fish, know ing some one has good of them.
 "The time will come when an angler will take cross the channel all the tackle he has intead of leaving his casting fly rods at home."

HARVARD GETS TWO STARS.
Enright and BoIes Have Been Re
 Admitted to Institution.

Cambridge, Sept. 28.-Tom Enright of Fall River, one of the promising backfeld men of last years Harvard football team, who was dropped from college just before the Yale game be- cause of scholarship difficulties, was readmitted yesterday after passing his examinations.
 Although at present he is ineligible to play on the varsity team, Enright will get into condition by practicing with the squad and coaching the sec ond team until November 2, when he will have a chance to remove his conditions at the hour examina tions. If he passes these he will be eligible to play in the real big games of the year.
 Last week Boles, who was dropped at the same time as Enright was re- admitted. He is practicing daily and will be in good condition to play with the varsity as soon as he removes his conditions. If Enright and Boles get back in the game the Crimson eleven will be materially strengthened. Both are fast players and vital parts of the great Haughton machine of 1915.

tained some fame as a hurler which IS invaluable to the Pioneers. Crean is a good ball player, but not in the same class with Lynch. At second kahms seems to have the call on Grove of the Pirates; neother boy is a hard slugger, but Kahms has seen more service in just such contests as the one to start, which should stand in his stead. At third will be found two boys who are both hard workers on the job every minute pulling for victory. Clancy, the Pioneer dizzy corner guardian, is not what would tc termed a phenominal fielder, his tendency to listen to remarks from the sidelines causing him to lose many chances that ordinarily would be flelded. On the other hand Kiniry is a veritable sphynX, who knows nothing but baseball when in a game. Neither lads can be termed S. ggers, but when Clancy reaches the initial sack he is dangerous because of his speed. Kiniry can also step some, which brings the selection between the boy fifty-fifty. The outfield seems ali in fvor of the Pioneers with Du- dack, Blinn and Goeb, compared with O'Brien, Paulson and Conley.

With Hal Boy be- side him, Napoleon Direct did his first half in 59 seconds and the three quarters in 1:29 3-4. The winner was favored at $1OO to $10 over the en- tire field.
 Roan Hal was the first choice of the Board of Trade starters, but Miss Harris M. did not go unbacked. The Mcdonald mare made the pace in the first heat, Roan Hal using her as a shield until near the end of the mile. Tn each of the next two heats Goldie c. did the leading. until half way through the homestretch. The finish of the middle heat was close, Goldle c. being a neck behind Roan Hal and with her nose just in front Of Miss Harris M. The time, 2:O1 3-4, was the fastest ever made in Board of Trade heat.

The grand smash between Brook lyn and Philadelphia is now coming to head.
 The series which closes out this weeks campaign is the beginning of the end, but it may not be conclusive for this reason:
 After winding up with the Phillies, the Robins face the Giants in four games.
 After concluding with the Robins, the Phillies face the Braves in six games. The Giants are pretty sure to give Brooklyn a swift kick under the ear about three times out of four. What the Phillies,. in the meantime, can do with the Braves in siv contests is something else again.

PICK YOUR WINNER
Local Random Await Play BaIl' Which Will Start Pioneers and Pi- rates in City Title Series.

While baseball fandom throughout the country are watching with heated interest the outcome of the battles in both major leagues a series is sched- uled to open in this city next Sunday, which will keep the local followers of the national past1me busy trying to dope out the probable victor. The teams which will be arrayed against each other are the Pioneers, the crack semi professional team which has been dispensing some first-class base ball during the past seasC0 and the Pi- rates, an aggregation of youths from "Nigger Hil1,' who by their consistent winning habit, have placed them selves in line to dispute the claims of the South end team for the local championship. New Britain fans that will be unable to see any of the worlds series games, should avail themselves of watching the local se ries, which will be fought just as hard for winning honors as the con- testants In the Johnson and Tener circuits.
 Close students of the game seem to favor the Pioneers for several rea- sons chiefly among them that they gre an older and much more expe- 1ienced aggregation than their oppo- nents. This is scoffed at by the Hill boys friends, who maintain that the speed which their favorites will dis play, will simply dazzle Manager Con- lin's pets Both clubs are noted for their persistency in battle and are never beaten until the last man has been retired. Comparisons of both teams ind cate but little of the rela- tive strength of of the clubs. Noonan and Mack, the opposing catchers are both heady backstops, and are of tower of strength to ihetr teams, due 10 the accurate throwing arms which they possess. Schmidt, the Pirates hurler, has displayed the best form of his career during the present sea- son, but as no selection has been made for the Pioneers no comparison can be made.
 At shortstop, Crowley, the Pirates star is a finished workman, a grand fielder, who is also possessed with considerable ability in the art of swat Welsh, the fiery little sorrel-topped shortstop of the Pioneers, has been a tower of strength to COnlin's team since joining the club late in the sea- son, but at times he is inclined to be cratic which, coupled with Crowley's hitting prowess, gives the latter the edge on the Pioneers. At first base Lynch of the Pioneers is in the fore ever Crean of the Pirates. Lynch is D ssessed with fielding ability that at times resembles big league stuff, and his hitting has been hard and timely with the Pioneers. He has also at-

PENNANT AT STAKE
Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Boston and New York Open "Crooshul" Se- rious," Which May Decide Race.

New York, Sept. 28.-The four leading clubs in the National league race play here today, and the local series may decide the pennant. Brook Iyn and Philadelphia, occupants of first and second place, will play the first of three games in Brooklyn, AL exander pitching for Philadelphia and Cheney for Brooklyn.
 If Brooklyn can beat the Philadel- phians two out of three games the pennant probably will wave over Eb- bets field at the end of the season. n On the other hand. if Philadelphia 8ghouId take the three games straight, Moran's club would have a strong grip on the flag.
 The fate of the Boston National League club, so far as it's pennant chances for 1916 are concerned, will be put to the test in the series of five games with New York, which be- gins at the Polo Grounds this after noon. They realize that it will re- quire the best kind of baseball to stop the winning streak of twenty-three straight games which now stands to f5ha record of the New York club.
