Only Three Of Last Years Nine
teen TitIehoIders Retain Laur-
els on Franklin Field
RAY - BR0NDER - PORES
BY TED MEREDITH


Out of the nineteen titles gained In
the championships held last year at the
Great Lakes Training School only three
were retained after the meet was over
at Franklin Field last week. Joie Ray,
George Bronder and Charles Pores were
the only ones to retain their titles
against the host of new men that came
on this year. Ray was lucky enough
to add another title to his string and is
now the mile and a half champion for
the year; Bronder seems to be invincible
in the javelin and Pores has not been
headed in the five mile for several years.
1t isSremarkable what one year can do
to records and the number of new faces
that come up as stars.
New York A. c. has big Pat McDon-
aid to thank for its victory in the meet.
1t was this big weight thrower who
came through and saved the title for
this club after all is said and done.
After being away from the sport for
long time Pat was coaxed back Just
for this year." He was able to get into
shape to beat Arlie Mucks, the big shot =
putter from Chicago. In the SO pound
weight Pat again was pitted against
stars, but had enough to win and hand
his club two firsts.
In the 40 yard relay Chicago A. A.
was robbed of a possible win because
its anchor man juggled and finally
dropped the baton, putting the team out
of the race entirely. The C. A. A. team
was out for record in this race and de :
pended on 10 Loomis to get fair lead
on the first leg so that the other men
would get the track all to themselves.
The dope went wrong, however, be =
cause The man that ran against Loomis
would not allow him to have the race
all to himself, and the scramble at
every exchange OF the baton finally re-
suited in c. A. A. losing everything.
LOOMS was not right on Saturday in
the sprints.
Jack Donaldson, the blue streak" of
Australia, and holder of the profes-
sional record of 8 % seconds for the
100 yards, attended the meet on both
days. He was taken very much with
our athletes. He marveled at Simp.
sons hurdling and other events
which foreigners do not have down to
the fine point. His criticism of our
sprinters style was interesting to me.
l should like to see him get hold OF
college job and try his methods out
on the excellent raw material every
college here offers.
Donaldson has given up running AS
profession and wants to get a job
here as trainer of track He is thor
oughly competent to handle all run
ners and condition the field men.

chance Of lifting the featherweight
crown from phe brow of Johnny Kill
bane. thirty one year old champion, in
an eight round bout at the ball park

slight chance of becoming the title

slight. Kilbane probably will have
little trouble winning from the Jersey
City veteran, after which he will come
to this city and keep in condition for

Offer Of SIl5,OOO for

Among those present at the Olym-

of the Barry Beren Syndicate, of
London, Eng. The Englishman is
here representing Albert Hall, where
the Albert trophy is on exhibition
and which is emblcrSatical of the
heavyweight championship of the

agreeable offer to Jack Dempsey in
New York yesterday for a twenty

English champion, when Jack

Barry's offer was $115 900 to cover

promoter says that Kearns insisted
on $50, 1000.

LATE RALLY WINS

Stokes Brothers Break Tie Con-
test in Final Period Against
RockaWay Team
ENTER FINAL R0UN
BY JAMES s. CAROLAN

| CTOKES tied the count in the eighth
~ and Stokes won the game in the
ninth.
The timely driving Of the Stokes boys
sent the Philadelphia Country Club
quartet into the final round of the Junior
championship polo tourney. enabling
them to beat Rockaway By 6I2 goals to
~.
This same timely placing Of the white
sphere through the goal posts on the
Philadelphia Country Club field at Bala
Yesterday enabled tho Philadelphia
Country Club representatives to qualify
| to meet the Meadow Brook four at the
Country Club Thursday.
Meadow Brook entered the final round
bv a triumph over Bryn Mawr last Sat
urday.
With less than one minute aud a
half Of the eighth period remaining. the
Rockaway quartet was leading by 5l2
! goals TO 4i2.
The Final Drive
The Country Club started a drive
for the opposing goal. The sphere was
carried to within twenty yards of the
Rorkaway line. Three riders in white
all took slashing smashes at the ball
and all three missed. Then another
white figure-W. s. Stokes-came
dashing down and one powerful drive
caught the opposition by surprise, sent
the ball through the goal posts and the
score was even.
Then came the extra period. Twice
Rockaway carried the sphere close to
the goal, but twice a white. clad rider
rapped it out of danger. w. s. Stokes
took the ball out of the bunch and
down the field. He carried it within
striking distance, when f. Lowber
Stokes shot forth. nailed the helpless
sphere on the nose and it went over
for the winning goal. This came after
four minutes and twenty five seconds
of play.
Penalties Costly
The three Stokes brothers and Bar
clay MCFadden played a brilliant game
throughout but penalties almost cost
them the game. They scored 8 goals
against { for Rockaway, but suffered
FIVE penalties, against three for the Wis =
itors.
RoCkaway had the speedy steeds, and
repeatedly outrode the home entries
when speed was necessary. G. CheeveI
Cowdin. an injured member of the
Rockaway team, brought his entire sta .
BILE of ponies from California. apd they
were superior to the ones which car
ried the Country Club four over the
field.
Harry II. Holmes, a captain in thC
British army, who saw four and one
half years of service at the front
was the referee. Few violations o
the rules went by unnoticed, and h,
didn't hesitate to penalize when penal
ties were in order.
StOkes's Close Call
Thomas Stokes had narrow escap,
in the sixth period. During scrim
mage near the edge of the field Stokes
pony stumbled over the board and threw
the rider from the saddle. Stokes clunl
to the pony with his left hand an,
dragged his mallet with his right. II
was carried thirty feet before the pom
was stopped. He escaped with a fey

Deferred payments may be extended

Secretary Glass announced that 10

Payment in full can be made Nav

The terms of the fourth Liberty loan

banks subscribed for hundreds of mil
