Howard Drew Proves
Remarkable Comeback

New York. June 16.-The remark
able athletic comeback of Howard
Drew. the negro sprinter, running
in the colors of Drake University. at
the recent championship meet of
the conference colleges. is undoubt-
edly the outstanding feature Of the
intercollegiate track season. By
winning both the 100 and 220-yard
dashes from the fastest fields that
the Middle Western colleges could
boast. Drew demonstrated that his
victories were not due to either ac-
cident or lack of formidable oppo-
nents. II any further proof were
needed the time would amply attest
the high standard OF Drews sprint
ing as he ran the 100 in 10 seconds
nat and the 220 in % 2-5 seconds.
When II is taken into considera-
tion that Drew is 2S years of age
and has been competing for 13
years. during which time he has
won numerous victories and eQualed
world record time in both these
events. IL can be seen that his latest
triumphs are little short OF athletic
marvels. Born in Lexington, Va, on
June IS. 1890, Drew began his track
career at the age % Is and twice
since that date has broken down in
competition to an extent that led
TO reports that his sprinting days
were ended.

CHICAGO CUBS
OUT IN FRONT
Red Sox Retain Lead in the
American League
Race.

New York. June 16.-The Cubs
stood the acid test during the week
just past. Although they were un-
able to best the Giants in the New
York series. the two teams getting
an even break. so far as the figures
go. the McGrawmen were outclassed
in all but one game. while the Cubs
continued their spectacular batting.
This week we see the Giants take
the road again in as badly a crippled
condition, IL not worse. than on
their first tour. The Cubs at the
same time start west again emerg-
ing from their first eastern invasion
with honors.
In the American League the Red
SoN came back easily to first place
after losing the lead to the Yankees
for one day. The Yankees then
were badly beaten in the series with
the Cleveland Indians and again Sat
urday by the Tigers, which brought
them back out of striking distance
from the Red Sox.
The Indians. however. are again be-
coming close contenders. Their bat

the last week and Iris Speaker, espe-
cially, seems to be getting back into
his old stride. The announcement
that Smoky" Joe Wood will take
another whirl at the box was a sur.
prise in baseball circles, and his work
will be watched closely. Joe says his
arm is in good shape egain and he
thinks he can take his regular place
in the box.
George Sisler, of st. Louis, came to
the front as the individual star of the
game last week. going into first place
in the American League batting race.
He has led the league in base stealing
since the season opened. Sisters work
at first base has been the main spring
of the Browns defensive.
The retirement of Fielder Jones OF
the Browns was the big development
OF the week. While 1t was generally
expected that Jones would again with
draw from the game at the end q
the season, 1t came as a surprise,
when the pennant race is well under
way. With the passing OF Jones into
the list OF the retired, baseball has
lost one of Its most valuab Bile men and
generals. as well as one of its former
stars. Jones' work with the Browns
this year showed his ability to get
results. He took team that at the
start Of the season, seemed hopelessly
doomed to the second division and
kept the club well up in the race.
The White Sox have again been
meeting reverses, and another weeks
has passed without the champions get
ting back into their old stride. They
have not measured up to the expecta-
tions OF the fans, O' what the team
looks like on paper since the season
opened.

NO time TO
STOP RACING
Major Belmont Thinks 1t
Do Injury to Great
Institution.

New York, June 16.-The report
from Kentucky that the Kentucky
State Racing Commission, which con.
trols the sport in the Blue Grass
state, was considering the abandon
ment of tests in that locality until
the close Of the war, was read with
Amusement by citizens in all walks

ing one of the fundamentals which is
to make for success in the worlds

Maj. August Belmont. chairman OF
the Jockey Club, one of the bigges,

United States and who has aided the
government in its efforts to produce
a better type Of cavalry remount to
the extent of having at this time no
fewer than thirteen thoroughbred
sires from his nursery stud doInS
service at the various remount sta
tions Of the Federal government. said
with emphasis after the splendid tesL
for the Belmont stakes at Belmont
Park yesterday:
Everybody must admit the neces-
sity of keeping up these tests in
the interest of light horse breeding,
because OF its Importance to our re.
mount supply. Not only our horses
but Our courses are essential. Only
recently We received the thanks of
the government through the Re-
mount Commission for the use Of
Belmont Park. The attempt to draw
a parallel between this country and
England, where racing has been some
what restricted but still exists be-
cause the government knows it must
have tests in order to establish the
proper material for breeding. is fall
lacious and misleading.
Kentucky is doing a great injury
to a great institution" continued Mr..
Belmont, ''in even talking about cur
failing these tests. Before taking
any such action as today's dispatches
would lead US to believe is contem-
plated, the matter should have been
discussed with those who have In
the past been steadfast when the
entire horse-breeding fabric of the
country was threatened.
when we were in trouble some
years ago, Kentucky. where a great
deal of the thoroughbred breeding is
done and some of whose people were
mortally hurt. were the first to make
an outcry. This condition would be
repeated il there should be no racing
in New York"

THE thing that makes athletics OF
all sorts go over so big in America is
because of the big element of chance.
One can never tell what is going to
happen"
An old-time sportsman was talking
and was including practically all Of
the sports generally followed by the
American public.
1t seemed particularly applicable at
the time the remark was made as the
wires had just carried the story OF
how Frank Shea, the Pittsburgh mid
die distance runner had run a quar-
ter in 81 3-5 over a track not in shape
for high speed.
Shea broke into the sprinting lime
light when he won two relays for
Pittsburgh University at the Penn re-
lays. In the final quarter of one of
these races he ran close to Al fiat

leads ON him.
Then a short while ago he capped
this performance by stepping the

under perfect conditions.
American collegiate tracks where
A. A. U. records are generally set up
are one turn to the quarter.
Some of the crack track coaches
OF the East are predicting that Shea
has it in him to run the quarter in

Some even believe he can step the
