ENCE At TRAINING CAMP.

The Y. MIC. A.at the training camp was
filled last night with commissioned Of
ficers and a liberal sprinkling of civilians
for the program prepared for the evening,
including civilian and army talent. Ii j.
seldom that an entertainment receives the
enthusiastic applause and enjoyment ac-
corded the different numbers on last
nights program. The program was given
under the direction of Corporal Cation of
the infantry and Sergeant Chessler of the
cavalry.
Girls Honor Guard and other civilians at
the Board of City Development rooms and
transported them To the student camp in
East Brownsville.
The first numbers on the program were
songs by Miss Mary Bertha Hicks of the
Honor Guard and 20 hearty was the APP

Because of the laughter greeting some
of Sergeant'S Chessler's explanations by
his comrades. the civilians grew rather
~keptical a. to the sincerity of the ser
%geant's lecture.
Miss Annabelle Bennett, dancer. contrib
uted two numbers in artistic dancing 10
the program, while Miss EVELYN Bennett
sang several pretty songs. The song mum
hers were accompanied by Miss Florine
Pierce, Miss Annette Hicks and Miss Anita
Kowalski. Ed. Rorke won the applause Of
the audience with his singing of Mother

of Laredo gave two readings which were
well received and greatly applauded. How

ing unusual ability, was especially enjoy
able. Mr.. kirbey also added much To tho
program with two musical numbers.
During m ntermiS~ion lee cream made
in the camp and delicious cakes baked by
the army cooks were served.
A s~cxtette of necros employed in the
camp made two appearances and their
songs were greatly enjoyed and repeated,
encored. Brownsville being situated 80 fan
from the negro settlements has seldom the
pleasure a music of this character. which
rendered it doubly~ enjoyable.
At the conclusion Of the program Cor
poral Cation thanked the civilians for then
attendance and contributions To the pro-
gram. Corporal Cation saidthat this was
probably the last time the student battal-
ion would greet the Brownsville people in d
body and in behalf Of the other members
of the camp thanked them for the treat
ment the students had received.
Following the closing of the entertain
ment the Honor Guard again boarded the
motor truck and left for the enlisted mems
dance in the Fort Brown pavilion. When
the truck arrived at the pavilion the guard
was greeted with cheers and handclappine
and the dancers thronged about the girlS
to secure dances.

HARPER Is NOT READY
TO PITCH REGULARLY
SOuthpaW Shows It in Game Grifs
Lose to Indians.

CLEVELAND, May Hilary Har-
per, Hackensack junk-man, is in no
condition today to pitch in his regu-
lar turn. He must go through all the
hard work he missed at Augusta
Until he does this and Is ready to
pitch winning baseball, the Grifimen
are going to be without a southpaw
to mix in with the good righthanders.
II Doc Ayers had been sent to the
slab in the opening frame OF yester-
days game, the Griffs might have
been returned winners, for the Hills
vile mountaineer was faster than
he has been for a couple of seasons,
but he came into the contest at the
wrong time and all his later good
pitching was wasted.
GaIIIa Might Have Won
Gallis, too, when he entered the
game, was in fine fettle and might
have won, had he started. The Grifr-
men lost because of Harper's Wild
ness, which made 1t impossible for
the visitors to catch up when they
did get started.
Morgan played a wonderful fielding
game, and collected two clean hits.
He had six assists and I'VE putouts.
He failed in the ninth. though, and
that's what hurt most.
The best fielding play OF the day

minors. but no good reason is seen
for his grief. Neither player has

Penn Classic For Youngsters
With College Athletes In the Army, Scholastic
Stars May Appear In Next Years
Events In Philly.

when the time comes for them to Join
the colors. should the war last
through a period of years.
Many OF the college coaches are a
bit concerned about their positions,
now that the athletes are getting
ready to be off to war. There seems
to be little grounds for thinking that
the colleges will turn their coaches
out at this time. Most of the college
men who were at the Penn relays at
Philadelphia last Saturday expressed
the opinion that nearly all OF the
colleges will retain their regular
coaching staffs in some capacity dur
ing the war period.
HiIIman Is working.
The action of several Of the colleges
up to the present time seems to bear
out this view. Dartmouth has Harry
Hillman drilling her students, and
Harvard has Donovan working on a
few track men and planning to hold
some interclass games later in the
spring. Jack Moaklsy has little to
do at Cornell, but there's hardly a
chance that the Ithacans will let the
man who has put their track teams
on the map suffer financially because
OF the call to war.
Lawson Robertson has a one-year
contract at Pennsylvania, which ex-
pires next September. Robertson,
too. will probably be retained in
some capacity. A Penn graduate
says. Robertson has won his way
into our hearts. You can say for the
university this early that he has
made good. I doubt very much IL,
even in these war times, Pennsylvania
will let Robertson out His personal
ity and ability have worked wonders
at Franklin Field, as you may have
noticed in last Saturdays results"
The Washington times., 1917-05-11

The Penn relays may be a school
boy meet in 1918.
In the event that the war into
which America is now plunging, lasts
through another year and a great
majority OF the college athletes are
called to the colors. 1t is probable
that the relay carnival, which after
twenty-five years has become one of
the foremost amateur athletic events
in the country, will be held solely for
scholastic teams. The Penn manage
ment will hardly abandon the relay
meet, II any way can be found to
avoid doing 80.
For the sake Of the future the
Quakers will stage the relays" in
almost any form in order to keep
the meet on the American sport cal
endar. The logical solution, OF
course, will be to put on scholastic
races in place OF the college cham
pionships, and there seems to be no
reason why this plan will not be sue
cessful enough to carry the "relays"
along until the piping times Of peace
return.
Just now DIG the rem Classic could
be made a. a scholastic affair can be
seen from the fact that last Saturday
more than 500 schoolboy teams ran in
the various relays in that division A
special effort on the part Of the Penn
sylvania management might easily
d0uble this number.
VIII BE Hardened.
There can be absolutely no objec-
ton to the holding Of the relays"
with none but schoolboy competitors.
The youngsters will be hardened by
training for the competitions, and
will be better soldiers

JOHNSON ON MOUND TODAY
BY LOUIS BOUCHER.

CLEVELAND, May 11.-If the Griff,
men are to win ball games here in the
West, they will have to have more
Ret-together about them than they
showed in their first clash with the
Indians. And Manager Griffith has
decided to put the get-together spirit
into them. too, without wasting any
time. Outplaying and outpitching Lee
Fohl's team, the Griffmen dropped
their first game on the frontier. 43,
and the Old Fox Is real peeVed.
Walter johnson, who showed all his
old-time wiEardry in his last tussie
with Babe Ruth, has been chosen to
do the flinging today against the
home boys. It is more than probable
that Jim Bagby, who sports pretty
glove and a slow ball, will be sent
against the Cofteyville cyclone.
walter Hits In Pinch
The principal weakness Of the Grin-
men, Judged by their first game with
the Indians, is their lack OF available
right hand hitters. With Shanks and

for duty in the pinches. Ainsmith faiI-
