GEORGE ORION
MAY GIVE WAY
TO ROBERTSON
Penn Coach Said To Be
Anxious to Retire
Soon.
By CAVE

The announcement that lawson Rob-
ertson, Of the Irish-American Athletic
Club, is to assist George ". Orion,
coach Of the University Of Pennsylva-
mia, for the remainder Of the season
may mean tho elevation Of the club
trainer a. the successor Of Orion be-
fore the present summer passes.
For many months past It has been
known that . man to replace Orion
was being sought by the Pennsylvania
authorities, as orion was DESTROYS OF
devotinR his entire time to his per-
sonal business interests. Whether Rob
ertson succeeds Orion or not, and this
will depend on the methods he employs
during his preliminary period, will not
be officially announced until after the
intercollegiate championships late In
May.
When rumors were ahoat that Orion
was soon to resign his position hve
candidates with competitive and coach
ing experience made application to
supplant him. However, it appears that
Robertson has been the lucky one. The
engagement Of Robertson will be big
aid in preparing the Quaker boys for
the hard campaign mapped out Tor
them on track and field.
Since the death of Mike Murphy. sew
oral years ago, old Penn has not trl-
un,hed on track and field with such
regularity as when the veteran trainer
was at the head Of things.
Robertson took hold OF the Winged
Fis. team, succeeding Bernie Wefers.
He had Melvin W. Sheppard, Jack j.
Ellsr. Matt McGrath. Jim p. 4:22 Sui
livan and Billy Heating among many
others, but during his first year he
was responsible for bringing to the
front many new athletes. who quickly
carried their spurs on track and field.
Among these were Abel K. Kiviat. con-
sidered one Of the best mile runners
in the country; Alvah T. Meyer, win
ner Of many national and Metropoll-
tan Association championships; Pat
Ryan, the worlds champion and rec
ord holder with the sixteen-pound
hammer; Robert Cloughen, Charley
Bacon and many others who since have
retired from the cinder path.

Several changes will meet the eyes Of
the thousands of spectators who will
journey to Celtic Park. the summer
home Of the Irish-American Athletic
Club at Laurel Hill, Long Island, to
watch track and field competition dur
ing the coming outdoor campaign. The
taking over Of part Of the park BY he
city to make way for . thoYoushfsss
has made necessary several Of the a.
terations.
On the northern end Of the Geld scms
forty feet have been appropriated Tor
the new street, this site including the
upper turn Of the track and the size
of the old dressing rooms. The trses
therefore will have 70 be shortened,
making it 43o yards, instead Of fun
quarter mile.
The old finishing point will remsin.
but the starting place in front OF the
grandstand will have TO be SHIFTED oae1
ten yards. The entire track VIII DC
seraped and a new layer OF cindcn
added, thus doing away with tne
clouds Of dust that have proved %
disagreeable in the past.

Rio de Janero, May 3.--The formal

vehcmently against the sinking OF the
Brazilian steamship Rio Branco, which
was announced yesterday. II considers
II impossible that"America will continue
10 witness with folded arms the contin-
uation Of these tragedies"
The paper suggests cooperation with
the United States. saying:
at is our duty 10 react against these
degrading crimes. The whole Of Amer
lea ought TO reinforce the action OF the
United States. To leave the United
States 10 act alone would be equivalent
10 the collapse Of the Pan-American
idea. Germany would be obliged 20 ca
pitulate before the unanimous protesta-
ton Of the peoples against her manner
Of making war.
"The name Rio Branco symbolizes all
the noble principles OF high diplomacy
and international law. The German tor
pedo has injured these principles more
than the ship. Our duty is 20 protest
against brutal and unjustifable crime,
like the United States, with which We
ought TO unite absolutely"
The announcement Of the sinking or
the Brazilian steamship Rio Brsnco, re-
ceived in a London dispatch, gave no
details as 10 the cause OF the disaster.

SAYS GERMANS SPOILED
ALLIES SHELLS HERE
Halifax Man Declares Mechanics
Caused Contract Troubles.

German mechanics employed in
American munition works spoiled thou
sands of shells ordered by the Allies,
and caused the cancellation Of valuable
contracts, which otherwise would have
gone TO American manufacturers, ac-
cording to Ernest F. Heller, Of Hall
fax, Nova Scotia, in a statement at the
Murray Hill Hotel yesterday.
German mechanics in charge OF
machines" he declared, were at the
bottom Of all the contract troubles.
An infntesimal deviation in setting a
lathe, for instance. is all that IS neces-
sary to make p shell worthless.
"All the steel companies OF Nova
Scotia are turning out munitions for
the Allies, and it is striking that no
shells have been turned back there
through defects in Dimensions
Mr. Heller asserted that thing not
generally known in this country was
that all munitions contracts placed IN
North America had a cancel lation
clause. 10 take effect three months af-
ter the declaration Of peace.
Mr. Heller ridiculcd the belief that
German reservists could ever attack
Canada, and pointed to the state
ownership Of all munition minerals as
evidence Of the Domirion's absolute
preparedness.
