More than one head turned in
passing another smart little lady.
The feature Of the suit that caused
the passerby to give it a second
glance was the long, straight cape,
which hung from the line under the
collar in the back, almost to the
hem of the skirt.
This was no aI-enveloping cape,
for the smart thing about it was that
it hung with some fuIlness entirely
in the back, not even shielding the
arms from view.

Welsh and Leonard Meet
In Title Bout Tomorrow
By FRED HAWTHORNE

That sound of heavy breathing that
will be heard tonight need not unduly
alarm you. II will only be Freddie
Welsh and Benny Leonard, worlds and
American lightweight champions, re-
spectively. enjoying a sound and un-
troubled snooze before they enter the
ring Of the Manhattan A. {. tomorrow
night TO do battle.
Kid Mcfarland, the man selected as
referee. has been undergoing "A special
course Of training himself. He IS re-
ported TO have spent yesterday after
noon in a Bronx vacant lot, prying two
billy goats apart. just for practice.
Even Harry Pollok and Billy Gibson,
the rival managers, have completed
their talking workouts. Both declared
last night that they were fit and ready
TO talk each other 20 death as soon as
the bout ends.
Welsh's work in the recent bout with
Johnny Kilbane, at the Manhattan, was
so disappointing that q majority OF the
fans expect 10 see Leonard either score
a Knockout tomorrow night or at least
outpoint the little champion by so wide
q margin that Pollok himself viii KISS
Benny on the brow and then go out
on the village green and tear the crown
from Freddie's head and place II over
the Bronx lights noble knob.
Welsh will probably outweigh
Leonard by several hundred karats.
He - more likely 10 tip the beam

= BIZ below the lightweight limit of
1873 pounds.

For College
Sport During
Next Season
Representatives of Ii Lead
ing Institutions Want
Athletics Continued

An informal conference OF graduate
managers and athletic representatives
of fourteen universities and colleges
discussed the present condition of col
lege athletics at meeting held here
yesterday. While these representa-
tives had no power to bind their sew
eral institutions, 1t was the belief OF
those present that college athletics
should be continued. Many modifica-
tions of the usual systems were dis
cussed, although no conclusion was
reached.
II was decided to request the execu-
tive committee of the National Col
legiate Athletic Association, which will
meet at Washington next August TO
consider those same matters, TO per-
nit the attendance of all members of
the association. IL was thought that a
definite policy might be formulated.
Major Fender, Dartmouth, presided
at the meeting. Those. present includ-
ed Frank Cam. New York University;
Major NJ. L. Pickering, University of
Pennsylvania; c. +. Kent, Cornell; IL
A. Fisher, Columbia; G.. r. Murray
Princeton, and +. w. Moore, Harvard.
The central board of football officials
met at the Biltmore last night to make
arrangements for the intercollegiate
games next fall. The board decided 70
put off further consideration until after
the August meeting in Washington OF
the National Collegiate Athletic As
ISOLATION, in view of the unsettled con
dtion of college athletics as a result OF
the war.

Villar Kyronen, Holder of the
Title, Finishes in Fifth
Place
By A. G. CAVAGNARO

Charles Pores, the sturdy little run
ner of the Millrosc Athletic Associa-
ton, won well deserved victory in
the annual senior 'cross-country cham
pionship race of the Metropolitan As
sociation, which was held over the Van
Cortlandt Park course yesterday.
Holding an advantageous position at
all times, and never faltering, Pores
came away in the last two miles of
the six-mile course to win by forty
yards. His time of $3.50 was consid-
cred fast performance under the
conditions.
Numbered among his victims was
Villar Kyronen, a clubmate. and the
defending champion. Kyronen seemed
bit out of sorts, and at no time did
he display the speed Of which he is
cap; Bile. The Finn finished in fifth
position, in 1851, the poorest time he
has ever made for the trail.
Greek Shows Stamina
Second place went to Victor Voter
etsas, the big Greek athlete of the
Morningside Athletic Club, who gained
the position by outsprinting Eddie
Mayo, the Brooklyn Athletic Associa-
ton boy, in the last 100 yards. Voter
ctsas came tearing toward the finish
line as though he were in short
dash. and, had he utilized this energy
earlier in the contest, he would have
undoubtedly made it difficult for Pores
to win. Tom Barden, former cham
pion. finished fourth.
The Millrose Athletic Association re-
tanned its team honors with the win
ming count of 33 points. The Millrose
boys ran we'll punched. the positions
accorded them being first. third. sixth.
tenth and thirteenth.
The Morningside Athletic Club capt
ured second place with 10 points and
the New York Athletic Club third
with So.
The runners and ciuus represented
were decided small in number. The ff-
teen teams and fourteen athletes who
competed in the junior title race last
Saturday were eligible to take part,
but when the starting time arrived only
five full teams answered the call. In
Guiding the individual runners compel
ing, the pack numbered only forty-sx
runners.
At the end of the first circuit Of
three miles eight had succumbed to the
heat and quit. and when the runners
were again checked at the finish six
more had been added to the number OF
those unable to complete the grind.
Star Runners Collapse
Harry McGinn and Harry Wigger, the
best runners on the Paulist Athletic
Club, collapsed at the finish line and
had to be assisted to the dressing room.
Eddie Mayo also was a much fatigusd
youngs;er. as was the heavy Nick
