TATE COLLEGE. PA, June g.
When Howard Berry, PENIS
~ great athlete, won the pentathlon
two weeks ago at Philadelphia, the
crowd howled the praises Of the Red
and Blue star, but it now appears as II
all the glory was not won by Berry
Today it was learned that the man
who finished second in the big relay
classic worked under conditions that
made his feat one of the most notable
performances in athletic history.
For Casey, Jones, Penn States
football and track star, contested
in the -entathlOn under conditions
that would have killed the chance
of any ordinary athlete, and which
brings up the question whether
Berry would have won had "Ca-
Sey" not been half exhausted De-
fore the contest started.
Being a real sportsman, Jones
passed up his chance to go to the
relay carnival when he gave his place
on the state college team to DamDly;
team mate. Jones and Dandy tleo
in the trials held there several days
before the meet at Philadelphia.
Take Dandy" said Jones to coach
Martin, who had proposed that the
two men toss coin to select States
representative in that event.
There the passenger train which
carried the real Penn State track team
overlook the two bummers, and when
the passenger train pulled out for
Harrisburg, Jones and Higgins, cold,
dirty and disheveled. were riding on
the steps Of the Pullman coach in
which their team mates were peace
fully sleeping.
At Harrisburg one Of the state
college trackmen stuck his head out
a window and discovered the pair of
real tramp athletes. This was about
( o'clock in the morning. When the
train pulled out of Harrisburg this
member of the team slipped out on
the platform. raised the trap door
over the steps and in slipped Higgins
and Jones. Past the slumberiug por-
ter they crept.
In the morning they borrowed a
change Of linen, boldly walked off the
train in Philadelphia, and grabbed
an hours sleep in a hotel lobby. At
noon they hiked to the athletic field.
Jones was tired out He had less
than two hours sleep, and was stiff
fened from his cramped position I'M
der the platform door.
But he tOed the mark in the
broad jump, and leaped 10 feet
inches, capturing second place

EW YORK. June 5.-Ine call
nj ing off Of the interleague Sc
i y ries between the clubs Of the
American association and the Inter-
national league was a keen disap-
pointment to the fans Of both cir
cults.
The proposed series would be big
novelty. It would attract the atten-
ton Of baseball fans all over the
country, and because Of the long
standing rivalry between the two big
minors, with the prospect OF seeing
it thrashed out on the field Of play,
interest would have been keyed up to
higher pitch in both leagues
throughout the regular playing sea
sons.
According to president Ed Bar
row, the International League
would have willingly gone
through with its agreement. He
declares that the series WIS called
off Mt the fnstigafion of the as
sOciatfon. and this action, he says,
Will block negotiations for fu-
ture series of the kind.
That all Of the American associa-
ton club owners were IN favor OF
calling off the inter league games
has been denied by COL Wathens OWL
ers of the Louisville club and vice
president Of the league. So IL is ap-
parent that harmony in association
ranks is not complete.
It appears that a few Of the club
owners. who have power with presi-
dent Tom Hickey, became highly
alarmed after a few weeks Of bad
weather and prevailed upon him TO
take the initiative in calling the
games off
President Hickey and George Te-
beau, owner of the Kansas City club,
visited New York prior to the open
ing Of their season and made an ef-
fort to have the inter league sched-
ule rearrsnged-
They wanted the series started
at n later date than that Origi-
naIly set and changes made which
would give association clubs the
benefit Of some double header
dates. They intimated that they
did not have confidence in the
drawing power Of the Interna-
tf0nal league cities.
