MOUNTAREERS WAKE UP

MoRGANTowN, Sept. The arri-
val OF Head Coach McIntire and his
presence here in conference with uni
versity athletic authorities seems al
most to have initiated the mountain
eer 1918 campaign.
Coach McIntire has been going over
the situation As regards material, both
old and new, and has expressed him
self as being very well satisfied.
Only Ice, of last years team grad
uated, and the fact that q total Of
eight out OF thirteen '1etter men" are
in the service in spite OF their failure
to graduate and thus making the
Mountaineers' record for patriotism
high has done much to cement local
sentiment in favor OF q team in spite
OF wartime conditions.
There is good foundation. Bailey and
Lentz are the only men who will be
available this year who have had
more than one year OF experience.
Bailey will undoubtedly play At cen
ter, his old position. though loss OF
both Rodgers and King may necesSi-
tate the shifting OF Lentz from half
back to fullback-
McCue and Merideth, both Of last
years guards, will be available, and
McIntire has intimated that he will
shift Merideth from the guard to
tackle.

TORONTO TAKES FLAG

They reach the wire today in The
1918 International League chase. The
Orioles OF Jack Dunn viii come rum
bling over the finishing line in third
position. following Toronto and Bing-
hamton, the clubs which for six
weeks or more have been waging =
nip -and-tuck fight. first one taking
the lead and then the other, Oh.
what a glorious finale IL would have
been had conditions OF bygone days
prevailed!
Perhaps the greatest struggle IN
the history OF the big Glass IA minor
OF the East has been waged, with the
fans taking only casual interest,
which. Of course. resulted in the
crowds being unusually small when
the closeness OF the battle is taken
into consideration
Had such q struggle come to pass
three or four years ago. the parks In
Baltimore, Toronto. and Binghamton
wouldn't have been able to hold 'efn.
The International League magaatea
have lost money. but they have shown
greater gameneSs In the face Of diffi-
culties than those OF any other cir
cult in the country, not even exceDt-
ing the majors.

FRANK SHEA WILL
SEEK NEW RECORD

The long looked for opportunity Of
witnessing Frank Shea, the Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh flyer, make an as
sault OF Maxey Longs worlds record
of forty-seven seconds for the quarter
mile over a straightaway course is to
take place at the Amateur Athletic
Union national championships at the
Great Lakes naval training station,
near Chicago, on September 20.
The quarter-mile straightaway Is
under construction. The fact that one
of their mates is about to make an
assault on a record over the course
which they are building has caused
the Great Lakes sailor lads to put
their best efforts into their work.
II is said that when completed this
course will be ideal for sprinting. II
is being constructed broad enough
for six athletes to run abreast, with
plenty OF elbow room, protected from
the wind, and scientifically laid out
so as to eliminate all ruts or soft
spots so damaging to records.
The only thing which kept Shea
from hanging up a new worlds rec.
ord at the intercoIlegiates last May
was the poor condition OF the track

would have hung up a record which
would have opened the eyes of all.

at Travers Island in June failed 10

by Long when he hung up his record
figures on September 20. 1900. In his
race the Pittsburgh lad had to traveI
over a soft track and had to elbow
his way through a large field of run-
lers. Had the track been fast and a
couple OF pace makers assigned the
ask OF setting the SmokebillA star a
sizzling pace, there is little question
but that he would have cIinned a
fraction on Longs mark. As n v.S
he was lucky to win the event.

UMPIRES-
PELHAM BAY BOYS
LOOK .INV|NC|BLE

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-The national
track and field Championships OF the
Amateur Athletic Union, scheduled to
be held at the Great Lakes naval train
ing station, near Chicago, on Septem-
Der 26, 81, and IS, promise to develop
into an old-time army-naVy struggle.
Any doubt athletic followers may
have had that Uncle Sans land and
sea fighters have not taken to track
and field sports as readily as they
have the fight on Kaiser Bill, can De
laid at rest.
The ease with which the sailor lads
from the Pelham Bay naval training
station captured the senior metropo-
Titan title at Elizabethport, IN. j.,
proves beyond doubt that SO far as
local supremacy in sports is con-
cerned the Pelham Bay lads are irwin
chile. They beat the best OF our local
talent in a manner which gives them
every right to look forward with con-
fidence TO adding to their prestige at
the national championships.
The fact that the track and field
sports world has blazed a train in
patriotism for all other branches to
follow has done much to help make
cinder path athletics favorites in all
branches OF Uncle Sans war service.
Had the track and field stars hesi-
tated their favorite pastime would
have suffered untold harm.
The fact that Amateur Athletic
Union authorities were quick to real
re the great advantage OF making
their sport the faVorite pastime with
our war heroes is another factor
which has contributed in long
measure to gaining prestige
By awarding the games to the
Great Lakes Naval Training Station
the authorities we're guaranteed that
they would be conducted in a most
patriotic setting. 1t further made
answer to the many attempts to cast
reflections on the present champion
ships by some of our less well in
formed citizens.
By holding the title games at the
Great Lakes Station a new and un-
looked-for interest has been added to
them. In former years the big in
centive to win was to help some par
ticular athletic club or section prove
supreme. This season an entirely new
interest has been injected
Every army and navy cantonment
in the country is going to recruit q
full squad OF performers to compete
for the various titles. The struggle
between the khaki and blue clad war
riors Is sure to awaken wonderful
interest and patriotism.
Willie Gordon, former national 1-mile
title holder. is one sailor lad who is
OF the opinion that the national cham
pionships are sure to prove of real
benefit TO athletics. Gordon bases his
opinion on the foundation that every
athletic event must have
q tinge OF the military TO prove sue
cessful.
By opening every event TO the lads
enlisted In the naval and military
service Of Uncle Sam. the Amateur
Union has taken a step that
they are not going to regret. 1t turns
their annual national title event into
a gathering of Uncle Sans most pro-
hcient fighters.

record for District tournament play
was set yesterday, when forty-seven
engagements. actual competition and

AS a matter OF fact with sixty-four
entries the fourth round was reached.
Graham Edgar, OF Dumbarton, got
wen ahead into the fourth round
through defeating J. S. Rowe. 6-S, 4-6,
dan 6-2 in a match continued from
Saturday. Edgar then got in ahead
of r. p. Baird by 60 and 6-l and de-
feated Frank Watrous, the old Yale
star, by Ga, 60. Watrous went as
poorly against Edgar as he had pre-
viously played we'll against Lou Doyle,
whom he put out by Ga and 6-1.
Cedric Major. ranking player at Dunn
barton, will meet Thad Benton, Junior
title holder. both players reaching the
fourth round. Major had what might
be termed a rotten" day. He was
