TRACK STARS BIR FAIR
 TO LOWER RECORDS.
Caldwell, Meredith, Ray and Overton
 on List to Run at Big Meet.

| Several new records for Middle At 1 lantic association A. A. U. competi- 1 ton are expected in the Meadowbrook | meet, in Commercial museum, 34th and | Spruce streets, Philadelphia, March 10. Dave Caldwell of the Boston A. A. | never ran better, and Johnny Overton ] is travelling faster for Yale than he | ever ran before. These things are the runner that Ted Meredith will have to beat to gain the third leg on the presidents trophy in the Meadowbrook 660 yard invitation event.
 In Boston last week Caldwell estab- Hshed a new worlds record for 1000 yards, running 2.15. This indicates
 how fast Caldwell is going right now.
 Meredith has two legs on the trophy
 and needs to win it again to retain it forever.
 Overton is one of the athletes who
 will oppose Joie Ray in the special one mile event This one mile event was placed on the card when 1t was found
 impossible to get the Swedish govern ment to change its attitude on Bolin and Flanders. They refused to allow these two athletes to leave Sweden
 So. to make a topnotch card. one to take the place of the international event, the Meadowbrook club invited Ray of Chicago, OVerton of Yale. Windnagle of Cornell and Devanney of the Melrose club to run one mile.
 Ray has a record of 416 for the
 mile, and he says he can run faster. In the New York Athletic club games recently in New York he ran 645 for a mile and a half, and in a handicap two mile run in ti1e Melrose games he ran 9.11 2-5, four seconds better than the American record, and he was in front for mile, setting his own pace
 tOverton, at Hartford, Conn, a few nights ago, ran 1000 yards in 216 and a mile in APO, and Devanney was on his shoulder. Devanney also ran sec ond to Caldwell when the latter made his 1000 yard record. WindnagIe is the runner who forced Ted Meredith to establish a new worlds half mile record last May at Franklin field.
 The one mile run and the 66o yard run should be topnotch events but they are only two of a great array More than 1000 athletes will compete. Every college, club and school track star in the east and middle west will run. This is the worlds greatest in door athletic meet.

DAN DWELL IS BOSS
 OF EASTERN LEAGUE.
Constitution Committee Recommends Changes to Meet Shift in Adminis- tration.

The committee on constitution of the Eastern league met in the Cooley ho- tel, Springfield, recently to make the necessary changes in the constitution to comply with the changes in the ad- ministration of the circuit. The powers of the president and vice president. divided last season to accommodate the situation, were vested in the office of presidency, so that President Dan ONef1 now has the full power of both offices. Last season the late Timothy H. Murnane was honorary president, and many of his duties were trans ferred to the vice president, who really was the acting president of the leagoe. With the change in the administration it was necessary to change the consti- tuition to meet it.
 There were no other important changes made by the committee, which consisted of William E. Carey of the Springfield club, M. J. MacMahon of the Worcester club and Thomas A. O'Brien, secretary of the league. The report of the committee will be read at the next meeting of the Ieagur When this will be held is not certain, as it is subject to the presidents call, and no call has yet been issued. Pres ident O'Neil and Edward F. Smith of the Worcester club were also present.

Marlin, Texas. auesday-The thirty | two regulars and recruits who compose
 the training entourage of the Giants are
 losing no time in getting down to tho
 for the forthcoming campaign. Onl wight work has been indulged I in thus far. throwing and batting the ball and running around the field aftea
 the practiss p sess,cns. The Gaants S,s have curriculum. as the Yankees have, but they are finding enough work to take l up their time without learning to be soldiers.
 Lew McCarty. acting as manager fin sn orders to all the recruit pitchers not to take any liberties with their
 arms. Some of the youngsters felt the call of spring the first day out and a
 number of them got kinks in their
 arms after hurling a few fast ones. The older pitchers in the squad need no such advice. They have contented
 themselves thus far with only batting practice.
 McGraw was due to arrive here sometime today. George Gibson, one tme catcher of the Pirates ,wfo has been signed as utility catcher by Nc Graw, is also expected here in a few days and will help the veteran twirlers ct oil up their arms.
 One of the most likely looking of the recruit outfielderS s young PoSefson, who played in the Texas league last year. He looks to be every inch player and only a glimpse of him in action is sufficient to convince that he possesses the makings of a first rate outf1elder. Josefson is said to be one Of the fastest young outf1elders who ever came south with the Giants. If Murray and Thorpe should fail it is likely McGraw may retain Josefson, although it appears reasonably certain that the veterans will remain with the team.
 None of the Giants will be in better shape than Benny Kaum when the starting gun booms. The little centre fielder expects this to be his banner year. While here he isn't going to de- vote much time to outfield practice. He is confident he will get all the work he needs nthat line whe nthe team begins its exhibition games He will put in most of his tim at batting practice, for next season he hopes to lead the National League in hitting.
 It has been decided that some of the 1 i'rookies'' are to go to the Memphis l club Of the Southern Association, of 1 which club Mike Donlin is manager,

PRESS COMMENTS ON
the GERMAN WAR PLOT

MILWAUKEE JOURNALe-From
this day there rs no middle ground
citizens Of the United States. There
can henceforth be no double loyal
ty. An American must be an Am
erican in word and act or avow
himself an enemy Of America. From
today all alien agitation in the
United States, by individuals, by
organizations, by newspapers, musi
cease. There is no doubt in the
| United States of its citizens of Ger
man birth or blood. All men who
know them know that overwhelm-
ingly they are loyal to the country
of their adoption.
MILWAUKEE EVENING WIS
CONSIN-It is. not wonderful that
with the Zimmerman letter in his
hands President Wilson attaches
less than its face value to the
statement of Chancellor Won Beth
mann Hollweg that Germany had
promoted and honored friendly re-
lations with the United States as
an heirloom from Frederick The
Great.
PITTSBURG CHRONICLE TEL
EGRAPH-After what Germany has
tried to do and really has done in
the last two years and a half, no
surprise need be felt at the revela-
tion of the Teutonic plot to bring
Merico into war with the United
States and the endeavor to lure ia
pan into the embodiment Bern
storff did not act unadvisedly 1t
was really Germany working through
him, Notwithstanding her protesta-
tons of friendship.
PITTSBURG PRESS-The unan-
swerable disclosure of this attempt
of official Germany to bride Mexico
and Japan into a simultaneous at
tack upon US leaves the up-Ameri-
cans in Congress no further shadow
of excuse. 1t strips naked the false
pleas with which they have sought
! to lull the nation into inaction. Il
