Howard +. Drew, the SenSaIlOnal
Negro sprinter, who is attending
Drake university, proved in recent
rect in New York that he is ready to
resume competition and that he will
hold his own with the best dash men
of the country.
The New York Times describes
Drew's two races with Andrew B.
Kelly as follows:
ut took a national champion and
record holder two races to nose out a
victory by inches over Howard P.
Drew, the Negro Splinter, whose per-
formances on the indoor and outdoor
track couple of seasons ago were the
sensation of A. A. U. athletics. Drew
showed several thousand spectators
that he had retained much of his phe-
nomenal speed and strength, and in
this, his first track meet since last Au-
gust, Drew was overtaken and passed
only by Andrew B. Kelly of Holy
Cross college in one of the hardest
contested sprinting events seen on an
American indoor circle.
"The century special at 100 yards,
the principal event Of the games,
found at the starting mark Drew at
tempting come back; Kelley, the ma
tional 30O-yard champion and record
holder, and Roy Morse, the Salem
Crescent A. C. Negro star. A full
quota of timers held regulated watch
cs on the race, but careful consen-
sus taken at the finish gave Drew and
Kelly dead heat for the century dis
lance. A run over was demanded by
the spectators, and later in the even
ing after both had taken the oppor-
tunity for rest, the second race was
held, and was won by Kelly by less
than foot, with Drew second.
"The Negro started off with new
tactics and was able TO outguess the
Holy Cross collegian for full sew
enty-fve yards of the distance.
Then Kelly, trailing scant yard
in Drew's wake, called on his re-
serve, and quickening his gait al
most imperceptibly, he flung himself
along and into the worsted inches
ahead of Drew. Morse was in third
place again, a foot in the rear OF
Drew. The time for both Of the races
was O:1O is.
"Drew first gained place among
the country's fastest sprinters when
student at Springfield (Mass.) high
school. Later he entered the Univer-
sity of Southern California, under
whose emblem he won most OF his
laurels. Among other feats Drew tied
the worlds record of g 3-5, held joint
" with D. J. Kelly, in the 100 and that
of 81 Is seconds, held by Bernie
| Wefers, R. C. Craig and D. F. Lippin'
i colt in the 220.
"Last August it was reported that
the Negro marvel had suffered para
lytic shock, but his illness turned Out
to be only severe nervous strain, anc
after months of rest he gave every
promise here of beginning another
spring and summer Of remarkable per
formances on the cinder path

The World Around Country

Agriculture is the basis of all civilized activi-
ties. The adaptability of any territory to the
growing of crops marks its usefulness to the hu-
man family Some parts of the earth seems to
have been made only to prevent hole in the
ground, and there are few holes below sea level
so poor that they are not even filled with water
Not so here Our soil contains every mineral ele-
ment which can not be taken from the abundance
in the air above it, needed for plant growth
And not only is this soil rich ip plant food, but
the subsol and the rock under it is of almost the
same substance as the mineral parts OF the top
SELL In fact, this section of country is so great
in its possibilities in an agricultural way that il
might with truth be said that the world lies
around it,

The thirty-sixth annual meeting of
the United States National Lawn Ten
mis- Association will be held at the

next Friday. February Q. First In pub
lie interest In legislation 10 come up
are the changes which the executive
committee has suggested, looking to-
ward the adoption of more stringent
amateur rule. 1t is practically GER
tain that a compromise measure will
be suggested from the floor. along the
lines laid down in the letter of r. N.
Williams and George Wightman. pro-
posing that legislation on this ques-
ton should not be retroactive. A new
definition OF an amateur involves an
amendment to the constitution, SO that
a two-thirds vote of the delegates pres
ent Is necessary to pass the proposal.
One of the most important amendments
that are to be recommended by the
executive committee Is proposed
change in the system of holding the
doubles championship 1t Is proposed
that the doubles championship be de-
cided by one tournament in the same
manner as the singles. The champion
team will be required to play through.
There Is to be a more lively con-
apparently. than any of the others.
Kansas City. Pittsburg, Detroit and
Cincinnati are after the tourney. An
other important matter will be the
limitation of entries in the national
championship, by adopting some quail
ification requirements showing the
players ability.

BREAK WITH GERMANY
HURTS BALL STRIKE
Magnates Assert That They Will Welcome Walkout Of
Players, For With War Going On They Could Not Afford
to Pay FASTENERS the Same Fancy Salaries

immediately before the major leagues
voted to keep their rosters down to
sixteen or seventeen men. In the event
war takes place the men with the high
salaries probably will be left out In
the cold In order that expenses can be
diminished. The clubs in 1898 re-
duced their pay rolls as much as pos
sible and there is no doubt they will
do It again.
The game was not hurt much dur
ing the Spanish American war ac-
cordng TO players who vera active In
the game at the time. The attendance
was not as large as it was before or
after. but the fans piled into the
grandstands just the same. The opin-
ion now is that should the United
States and Germany fight, baseball
would continue to be played every
afternoon and be watched by fans who
seek amusement despite the hostilities.
Even II the country Is at war" said
Charley Williams. Of the Cubs, who
has been in baseball for thirty-two
years, "the people who remain at
home are bound to be amused. They
proved this IN 1898. Over in Europe
sports and theaters have not been
eliminated. They seem to be doing o
good business. baseball would do the
same over here. and ] feel sure the
leagues would play out their sched-
ules"

now that tho break between the Unit
ID States and Germany has been an

they will welcome the walkout OF the
athletes. because with war in progress
they could not stand the expense that
would be on their hands IL all the
players signed. To them hostilities
mean q curtailment of expenditure
and one way to get 1t would be to re-
duce the roster Of players to not more
than sixteen or seventeen men.
within the last few days few players
have been signed by clubs in the major
leagues. Why? The magnates were

their time in annexing any more play

with Germany. II the men are signed

said he had been unthinking and was
sorry.
II was talking today with Louis
Bolschweiber. former mayor of Perth
Ar1boy. now United States marshal in
that city. He said the Austrian popu-
lation. and the Socialists of Perth Am
boy and Camden. which he has recently
visited, will be loyal to man. although
the Socialists by reason of their anti
war tenets, are not likely to volunteer
10 take an active part in the event of
war"
In reply to a question as to whether
he believed the presidents action in
breaking relations with Germany was
justified. the mayor replied: Absolute
Ily, / should have done the same thing
myself"
No request has been made to the
police for extra men at the Remington
ammunition plant in Hoboken or on
the docks. according to Chief Patrick
Hayes. of Hoboken. but the police are
thoroughly prepared to act in any
emergency.
