JAVELIN RECORD MAY
BE TURNED DOWN

New York. June 1S-It is believed
in athletic circles that the officials OF
the Western Conference will not seek
to obtain from the Amateur Athletic
Union recognition OF the new Ameri-
can figures with the javelin throw Of
1874 feet ii inches, which were estab-
lished by Charles Higgins, OF Chicago
University, in the annual champion
ship games held on Stagg field, Chi
cago. The present record OF the Anna
teur Athletic Union books is 100 feet
inches made by George A. Brender
at the national championship in New
ark last August
The Western college officials permit
the throwing Of the long stick at free
style, that is. with the grip which is
in the center OF the stick or by hold
ing the stock by the end. The latter
method is prohibited by the Interna-
tional Federation Union, whose rules
are followed by members OF the ANA
teur Athletic Union. Witnesses OF the
record performance by Higgins declare
that the latter threw the javelin by
holding the end Of IL

No Prizes for Golf Winners.

st. Joseph, Mo, June IA number
Of leading golfers Of the West, repre-
senting clubs in the territory lying
between the Mississippi River and
Salt Lake City, are entered in the an
nual tournament OF the Trans-Miss-
issippi Golf Association. which is to
take place this week on the links OF
the St Joseph Country Club. The
number of high-class players on hand
for the opening today is believed to
assure a successful tournament, not
withstanding the fact that the war
has prevented some OF the clubs be-
longing to the association from send
ing in their entries. BY decision OF
the directors OF the association no
cups or medals will be awarded TO the
winners of the tournament. The
money that ordinarily would have
been expended for trophies VIII be de-
voted to some patriotic purpose

COBB'S BASE RUNNING
DEFEATS NATIONALS
Georgia Peach's Work on the Path
Scores Lone Tally.

The same Ty Cobb who clouted the
Detroit ,Jungaleers into two victories
In the present series, demonstrated to
a small gathering Of fans yesterday
could almost beat the Nationals sim
gle handed, as the third game of the
series went to the Tigers by / to o,
due to the brilliant work on bases Of
the Georgia Peach.
With Cobb on the sacks most of the
pitchers In Ban b. Johnson's circuit
feel a tritie annoyed and show signs
of nervousness, and Harry Harper
was no exception to this rule.
II was not bad enough to have
Harry in the doubtful class, but his
battery-mate, Eddie Ainsmith, Joined
his ranks and paved the way for the
Dixie clouter" to score the lone
tally Of this interesting pitchers
duel
The Hackensack metal dealer pitch
ed good ball, as six blows were all
paw flinging, while six of tho Junga-
leers returned to the bench by the
air-punching route. OF the six hits
obtained by Jennings" peppery clan,
not one counted in the scoring Of the
lone tally. as Cobb made possible the
victory by his base-running ability.
Opposed to Harper was George

the locals down with three hits4 one
of these being OF the scratchy va
riety. Dauss was given air-tight sup
port by his teammates, as only one OF
Griff's tribe reached second base dur
ing the nine innings of battle.
Pep" Young singled to center in
the opening inning, but wag forced
out by Cobb. Ty stole second, but
failed to move up, as Bobby Veach
fouled out. In the second inning
Crawford singled with one down but
died at the initial sack, as Dyer and
Stanage proved easy plckings. Witt
was passed in the third, and went out
on his attempt to steal.
Cobb got in his brilliant base work
in the next session when Harper
started the inning by passing the
Georgian. Cobb again STOLE but

the first corner. Crawford then hit
a slow grounder to Foster, and Cobb,

too late for Foster to make play on
him. Dyer hit. but no damage re-
suited, as Ainsmith caught Heilman
loafing of the third corner and nab
bed him. Dauss singled In the nth,
but was doubled at second when Witt

The Nationals made a great bid to

Doos Eiaht in War.

"Unloosening the dogs Of war Is
more than a metaphoric expression. for
dogs have played a useful part In thee
struggle Of nations. The great 1887
of the Belgians arc used to draw ma
chine guns and in other light transport
tasks. Numbers OF them who went
barking out to war when the Germans
invaded the little kingdom are no"
dead, along with their masters, but
the Belgian soldiers still have many
four-footed servitors-one might bet
ter say comrades-who nave been thru
1t all and are ar-hardened veterans.
Dogs are used by the Red Cross to
search out the wounded, n they
have at times given valuable aid in
this work of mercy. In the mountain
warfare of the Vosges the French
have in active service hundreds OF
"huskies" from Alaska, used to draw
sledges over the snow-clad mountain
passes. The Aperican dogs have taken
kindly to their new work. altho their
French drivers have had to learn GER
tain English words-not all of them
printable-as the ferocious beasts re-
fuse to pay attention to commands in
French.
All Of the supplies for the soldiers
of the French mountain posts in the
vosges are transported by dog sleds
during the winter months, and the
Alaskan dogs have solved what was at
first a difficult problem.
