ENTER YALE RELAY
FOR PENN CARNIVAL

Philadelphia, March 29-Yale today
sent word that 1t would be represent
ed in the four-mile relay champion
ship at Pennsylvania's twenty-fourth
annual relay carnival. to be held the
last Friday and Saturday of next
month. The strength of the Yale
team is unknown. as the Yale run
ners have done practically no COM
petitive work so far this season.
That they have a good team is indi-
Gated by their. entry and it increases
the interest in this event. which
promises to be one Of the best at the
carnival.
To date, Cornell. Wisconsin, Lafay-
ette, Mann. Tech, Penn State and
Pennsylvania are entered, while
Dartmouth and Chicago will give
their men further tryouts before def
nitely entering them. Chicago had
six weeks ago a most promising team.
but Otis, who had already enlisted,
was called to the ranks. and it lost
probably the best distance runner in
the college this year.

nny Training Camp Report HIS Boare
RACING GAME
SAVED BY ARMY
Col. Winn Appreciates AS
sistance Given by U. S.
Officers.

Baltimore, March 29.-According to
Col. Matt Winn, manager Of Laurel
Park and Churchill Downs. race
tracks, who left Baltimore for Lou
siville today to make everything
shipshape for the coming renewal
of the $4,000 Kentucky Derby. de-
clared that 1t was an appreciation
by the legislators Of Maryland OF
the overweening importance of sys-
tematic thoroughbred production to
national defense that won for racing
in the fight at Annapolis. for the
maintenance of the sport in the Old
Line State.
1.-The racing and breeding interests
Of Maryland and the country
Col. winn, put forth the argument
advanced by Mai. Gen. Leonard Wood
some years ago, while Gen. Wood
was Chief of the General Staff. that
thoroughbred blood is indispensable
in the military horse. We were sup
ported in this contention by Maj.
Gen. Kuhn. the commander of Camp
Meade; Brig. Gems. Nicholson and
Hero, Col. Raymond Briggs, of the
S11th Field Artillery; Col. johnson.
the commander Of the camp of en-
gineers at Laurel Park, and other
enlightened officers and we won In
the House of Delegates, a branch
of the legislature in which we feared
we might be beaten. Obviously,
therefore, It is a proposition. which
Is little understood outside army cir
az 4,. a
the House over. To say that we
are gratified is putting 1t lightly.
This recognition of the essential con-
nection between thoroughbred produc-
ton, the effectiveness OF which hinges,
inevitably, on clean and successful
racing, by the legislature of Mary
land is highly significant.
TT foreshadows a country wfdo
appreciation OF the real mission of
racing. which, ultimately, will re-
store the thoroughbred to his own
everywhere. Now that the devel-
opments Of the great war have
made the maintenance of a great
permanent military force in this
country indispensable, the people of
the country may depend upon it
that the racing associations of the
Old Line State working in harmony
with Maryland's Ssportsmen and
breeders will do their utmost
toward the production of military
horses OF the right sort in numbers
that will be of real military value
to the nation. We will in a sub
stantial manner. show the army that
the army's support OF racing is
properly appreciated. And we will
show the farmers and stockraisers
Of Maryland. that horse production
for military purposes Is a matter of
vital Importance in an economic
sense to them. Maryland is in for
one of the most attractive racing
seasons in her history. The $4,000
Pimlico Spring Handicap, the Freak
ness. a $4,000 race this season, the
5000 Green Spring Valley steeple-
chase and the excellent program
of the Havre de Grace and Bowie
tracks, have already brought the
best horses of the East to the State.
The autumn program Of the race
tracks will bring down an even
better seasoned lot of campaigners
of various ages.

GRIFF ONCE WALKED
FOURTEEN AND HIT TWO

Philadelphia, March 29.-CIark Grif-
nth holds a record for wildness in a
single contest. which will make all
wild men hustle to beat, and it was
made against the very club he now
leads. Clark was pitching for st.
Louis, the famous Browns of the
American Association, back in 1891,
and Washington was in the same cir
cult that season. That was when
Clark was young in years. but that
boy was always old in the pitching
game. for his tutor was king" Rad

most peculiar record and was the
principal in several freakish games.

RALLY TOGETHER TO
SAVE PIMLICO TRACK

Annapolis, Nd, March 29.-Inference
here is that friends of Pimlico race
track will try and have the members
of the Senate reconsider the Frick
City racing bill some time today. The
vote on the Frick bill last night end
ed in a 12-to-12 tie. 1t is said that the
reconsideration of the bill will have
to be asked for by one of the Senators
that was against the bill, and 1t is
hopeful that this action will be taken
some time today.
Friends Of Pimlico are of the opinion
that the bill will be reconsidered.
and IL this is not done Pimlico will
have to move TO Timonium or some
other location. Just now it is an open
question just what will be done on
the matter.
Senator Frick's bill is to protect
racing at Pimlico and the Gentlemen's
Driving Park after the annexation
act becomes effective January /, 1913.

that Lajoie was the property OF the

WILLARD FIGHT
CAUSES ROW
Baltimore Fans Say Prize
Ring Artists Should Be
Over There.

baltimore. Nd, March 2s.-Every-
,,fiere In Baltimore Indignation was
expressed today at the effort of the
mana gers of Jess willard and Fred
Fulton to stage q prizenght In this
city on the Fourth Of July fon mere
money-while the finest young
manhood of the country will be
facing death in. France in defense
of the high ideals for which this
country went to war.
It was the general opinion that
such a bruising contest. with no
higher element at stake than the
money to be made out Of the show,
would be a dissertation of the ma
tional holiday. Independence Day
celebrates the founding Of this gov
ernment, the establishing Of the
principle OF the right Of peoples to
govern themselves.
Now that principle Is attacked by
the most brutal military power the
earth has ever seen. by men who want
to turn back civilization and restore
the medieval kingship Of the Middle
Ages. Again the young men Of America
have thrown aside all selfish interest
and gone to France to face the Ger
man guns, while their parents and
friends at home pray for their safety.
It is unthinkable that that day
should be fouled by an exhibition OF
the fist power of these two WORTHLESS
who fight for money.
There is one place where Willard
and Fulton should fight" was the uni
versal comment of red-bloQded men.
That's in France. where the greatest
battles in the history of the world are
being fought and where the cause Of
freedom has need for every ounce OF
fighting power ii can muster"
The action of the Board OF Po-
lice Commissioners here in refusing
to grant a permit for the fight was
universally approved. II was report
ed that efforts were being made TO
get some cities. to bid for the show.
Some were reporting to be making
up sums as high as $4,000 to at
tract the fight to them.
The sentiment in Baltimore was to
the effect that no. matter who might
bid, no matter what the conditions
of the fght, Baltimore didn't want
the fight under any circumstances
or any conditions and that ,Balti-
moreans felt the fight should not be
permitted anywhere in the country;
that It would bring nothing but dis
grace on any community which sup
ported IT.
