SPORTING NOTES

A certain Michael Grealish has Just
been produced as possible opponent
of Champ Willard. This new and am
bilious youth is feet, in his stock
ing feet, and 80 inches across his out
stretched arms. If he has hands in
proportion he could stand on the far
side Of the squared circle and hurl
them at LII Jess. Oh we'll, if they
are going to match Willard against a
hammer thrower they'll get him lick
ed some time.
The Giants would have better
chance of duplicating the Braves
great squirt Of 1914 if they were ire
Braves instead of the Giants.
Wagner Of Pittsburg is making
strenuous efforts to whang his way
back into the 300 batting class this
season.
Cornell is the first college to win a
big baseball series. The Ithacans de-
feated Princeton Saturday for the Sec
ond time. each victory being a 1 to
score and each run coming in the 9th
inning.
In three Of the four games played
Sunday the team that made the least
hits won. Another proof that timely
hitting is worth much more than a
lot of hits that do not bring in runs.
r. L. Potts Of the New York Ath-
letic club won the amateur trapshoot-
ing championship of the United States
last Saturday, when he made a new
record Of 1856 out of 200 for this event.
Cornell certainly has strong track
team this season, and should go into
the intercollegiate as favorites to win
the first leg on the new trophy. De-
feating Harvard SO points to "a shows
real class.
