BY Il. C. BYRD.

Catholic University is better fortified
this year with material for its track
and field team than in any previous
season. Notwithstanding the loss of
three good men-Horn. Field and Sulli-
van. all veterans of two or three years
the squad looks as if it will shape up
well before the first of the indoor meets
come around. No man of those that
have reported to Coach Jimmy Multi
gan for practice looks to be as capable
as Field. but. as whole. the squad
will be stronger than in 1916.
Mike Mulcahey, who ran for the
Hartford. Conn. High School last year.
is out for the team and should be a
better sprinter than any man who has
worn the Brooklanders' colors. Null
cahey did the century dash consistent
ly in 10 LIS seconds in scholastic meets,
which is much better than the ordi-
nary. Bob Mulcahey also is a candi-
date for the team, running the $50 and
440. Bob Mulcahey was the star quar-
ter-miler of the Manhattan College
Prep School. having been anchor man
on the relay four which won for that
school in the Pennsylvania relay
games.
Other new members of the team are
Nugent and Collins. Stengie comes
from Bradford. Pa. and is cross
country runner. He will try for the
two-mile event Nicholson ran the
mile for the Technical High School
of this city last spring. Walsh is a
Canadian and is said to have quite a
reputation as a mile runner Nugent
is hurdler from the Dayton. Ohio.
High School, and Collins comes from
the st. Thomas College of Scranton,
in the distance races.
Among the men out last year are:
Rutledge. Kean. Driscoll and Ryan.
Rutledge Is former New York Athletic

i'm 1915. Kean last year gave promise
of developing into one of the best
quarter -millers ever turned out at

The committee is doing the best that is

Mrs. Locher. 81 wish to say in answer to
the various criticisms which l have re-
ceived that there are few pictures on the
market today that are exactly what would
be asked for for children. almost all of
them having something that should be
eliminated.
The committee has the unqualified
statement of the producers that they
are not manufacturing for the juvenile
audience. Every >picture that they re-
lease, no matter what the subject. is
based upon the box office receipts.
Those of the public who are interested
in our work for better pictures must
realize that fact. Pictures for chill
had until the exhibitor and producer is
shown he will be backed.
Must Keep Up Attendance.
'In order to demonstrate ability and
good faith in making good on the box
office receipts the audiences of the pay
matinees must be kept up in size to
those of the free performances. Chill
dren must also cont.nue to be sent to
the special performances"
Mrs. Locher urges that those who
wish to see the performances be on
hand at the various theaters at the
scheduled time. HuN~reds of children
were turned from the performances
last week because of lack Of accommo-
dation. These children should make
special efforts to be on hand early.

Robb of ,ne ST. Johns team in the Ma
sonic League last night shattered by
one pin the record for high set by a
player. made by Harry Krauss on Tues
day. Robb toppled 423 of the naples in
his three contests, rolling games of
1870, 142 and ISL. 1t was Robb's brilliant
bowling which enabled st. Johns to
make sweep in its match with Osiris.
The mark for the set Is likely to stand
as a record for the Masonic League for
a long time, Notwithstanding that some
of the best alley artists in the city are
members of the fraternity.
Ash of the Potomacs also rolled a
good set in the Masonic League. He
registered counts of 10S, .124 and 119.
the total being ISL. Despite the fine
rolling of Ash, Lebanon won two out
of three games from the Potomacs.

Grand Centrals captured the first con-

Lewis counted 127 pins in his first and
