Middle Atlantic
Meet This Week

The interscholastc track and field
meet Of the middle Atlantic district
viii besh held on Saturday. May 4, at
Fr@nkiin Field, Philadelphia. when the
University Of Pennsylvania wiil stage
its annual championships. Bringing
together some thirty Of the best school
boy teams in the Fast, this meet will
be Hhour the only one Of It's kind to be
held this season.
In accordance with the new policy Of
the athletic director the Junior meet,
which has usually been held on the dav
previous to the senior championships,
will not be staged this year The
senior meet will see many Of the better
Junior runners in the senior division.
The usual track and field events will
be held, with the exception of the ham
mer throw. for which has been substi-
tuted the javelin and discus throw. No
contestant under the age Of eighteen
years viii be allowed to enter the two
mile run. The schoolboys Will have a
reserved section for the Columbia
Penn baseball game.
Among the entries. the double feat of
Robert Crawford, the Flushing High
School youngster. in winning the half
mile in 2:o3, and then following il up
with q i:48 mile. stamps him as a prob
able record breaker IN the distance
events. Harry Tronp. recent find of

Fordham Beats
Columbia IN
Ragged Game

Fordham won over Columbia yester-
day afternoon on South Field, by the
score of to S. The winning nine
held the lead throughout the game, but
Columbia kept so close on its heels
that until the end of the ninth inning
the Maroon was not sure Of the VIC
tory.
The game dragged for several inn
ings because of the ragged playing by
both teams. Fordham made nine errors
and Columbia was charged with six
The scoring of four runs in the fifth
inning by Fordham and rally by
Columbia in the sixth were features of
the game.
McQuade, the veteran Maroon twirler,
had good control in every inning ex-
cept when the heavy hitting end of
the Columbia batting order drove in
their four runs in the sixth. After
that he frightened up and held his op-
ponentS scoreless.
Kept Hits Scattered
He yielded eight safeties and walked
two men, but as a rule kept his hits
from being punched, ard showed his
nerve IN several pinches wnen the Blue
ana Wnlte threatened to score.
In the seventh inning the Blue and
White had two men on bases, with only
one out, and seemed sure of tying the
score. McQuade showed his mettle
then and struck out one of the re-
manning batters, the other going out
on g. fly.
Tommy Farrell, the first pitcher for
the Columbia nine, had an off day yes
terday. He kept his control for four
innings, but weakened in the fifth,
Welding four hits and a like number
Of runs.
Herb Koenig, the other Blue and
White pitcher, went into the box in the
next inning and allowed one hit in
four innings. He struck out one man.
but walked none.
Alderman started the scoring for
the Blue and White team. He crossed
the plate, after making a two-bagger
on Halligan's error.
The rest of the Columbia runs were
largely due to the heavy bat of Cap
tain Bunny Buonaguro, the little
shortstop. His two-bagger in the
sixth started the rally which netted
four runs and nearly took the game
away from the Maroon. Houlahan.

WORLD FULL OF COMPLAiNERS
Some Wall About Ill Health, Many
About Ill Fortune, but Most Of
All About Ill Luck.

The world is full of complainers.
Some complain of i'll health, many Of
Ill fortune and most of all of ill luck.
A pound of pluck is worth ton Of
luck 1t is not a perfect world. Who
is well every day throughout the year
without an ache, a pain or a cough?
Who is perfect in physique, In tenn
per, in deed and word and conscience?
What man or woman is without a
weakness or reason at times for mis-
givings or cause at times for repent
ance?
1t is a world OF foibles, fads and
fanatics. If we were all perfect, the
preachers would be needless. Heaven
would be on earth.
There is comfort in the thought that
the striking differences we find among
men and women make the world at
tractive. If all were alike, the mo-
notony would be unbearable.
Think of these things when you feel
like repenting over Ill health, Ill for
tune, i'll treatment or Ill luck.
Misery loves company and there are
always "others."-Leslie's.

Home MAKING Robins.

Late in March, or early in April, the
robin returns We may see him hop
ping around on our lawns, or perhaps
we may hear him first. He has a
clear, cheerful voice, but does not sing
his most joyous songs until his mate
returns from the South, about week
later. Together they build the nest, or
remodel one that they have occupied
for several seasons. In the latter case
the old leaves are cleared out, and
few crooked sticks added to the clumsy
looking mass. Then it is ready for the
mudcup that will make it firm, solid
and safe. The mother bird brings the
mud, and uses her breast as mason
does his trowel, to shape, smooth and
press it into shape. She is a very dirty
bird when she has finished, but soon
makes herself clean and neat again.
When lined with grass, moss and
feathers the nest is quite comfortable,
