Worlds Greatest Middle Distance Runner

, in the intercollegiate meet which
starts in Cambridge tomorrow. So
many men coming back from the service.
together with the poor weather on the
days of the dual meets, make it n diff
cult job to pick with a degree of Ger
tainty the places from first to fifth.
In other years in the majority of the
events it has been an easy matter to
pick the man that would win first place.
We could tell from the performances
of the past season and dual meets OF
that year the man that would stand out
above the others in the big games and
very seldom would dark horse come
in.
This year we have no past season to
go back to with any satisfaction, as
the games last year were not up to the
standard of the previous meets.
Triangular Rivalry
In every case this year I have given
the best of it to Penn, Cornell and
Michigan. since these three teams are
the ones that do the real battling for
first honors. | have given Penn the
very best of it in the running events
and have not given them much in the
field. However, they have several men
that have a chance to come through
whose names do not show on this sheet.
Should they deliver. the Red and Blue
will have an easy time in winning.
Cornell I have favored in the
hurdles and l am depending on Moakley
to spring a surprise with Smith and
Watt The latter scored back in 1916
and should be much better now. In the
distances | do not thing that I have
given them enough but this is all I can
figure that they are entitled to get on
their performances, compared with the
other runners.
Too Much for Johnston
Michigan, I figure, is a good team,
but they cannot win. Johnston, who
will be depended upon to score in three
or four events, will find that it is n
much larger job than it looks on paper.
The two teams that have the best
chance, Penn and Cornell, are depend
ing on getting their points out of few
events. Penn will try and must score
heavily in the 100, go, 440 and pole
vault or they are out of it. They vii
need the points in the other events il
which they have good men entered
the $50, high and broad jumps ant
hurdles-but all depends on the frs
mentioned.
Cornell needs all the points it cal
get in the runs and hurdle because the,
have no men for the other events

Though zoe are bound among the brood,
We take old dream trails through the hills
To find ancient solitude.

Nor cared to labor through December;
But Uhen old juno sails into port,

OF sleeping gently by some river.

And far beyond the auto's rattle,
Where waterfalls 90 ledpng out
I'd like to gipe some bass q battle;

CLOSEST MATCH OF SEASON EXPECTED
 AT B.A [. MONDAY
Freberg-Savage Bout Will Be Toss-Up-BOth Mtn Stand High in the
 Mat Game

The Birmingham Athletic club has won the plaudits of local wrestling fandom' by staging the mat matches of the pres ent season on a high plane As an lndi- cation of how these high-class attractions have been run it might be mentioned that great crowds have thronged the club gym at each match and that the clup hasn't played a loser to date.
 Monday nights battle between John Freberg and Steve Savage will be no ex- ception to the rule followed thus far by B. A. C. officials. In fact one might go as far as to predict that the attraction Monday night will be far and above the best match offered here this season, be- cause of the fact that Freberg and Saw basis
 Never before have two men so appar- ently equal in skill and strength been brought together with the possible ex- ceptfon of Wladek Zbyszko and Ed (Strangler) Lewis They weigh around the same mark, 216, are almost the same age and those who have seen the two boys work state that it is d toss-up as to who will bring home the bacon.
 Freberg and Savage have never met be- fore, and this fact will also add interest to the coming attraction and help swell the seat sale which by the way has start ed off with a rush.
 Monday nights go looks like the best bout that we have been able to bring to Birmingham thus far said Bill Strelt, and I think the fans appreciate this fact by the swift way in which they are buying tickets. Due to the fact that l am expecting the best bout of the season, also expecting the biggest gather ing and because of this I am having con- structed a large number of extra seats We will need this added seating capacity to take care of the fans who will want to view this feature attraction"
 John Freberg is local wrestling idol, but his friends may be a wee bit optimistic in figuring that he will dispose of Savage within one hours time. In fact Savage has just as good a show to win as Freberg and a long bout is expected with some of the best rough-and-t tumble wrestling yet seen in Birmingham this year.

 Both twirlers pitched beautiful bail, Harrison struck out nine men, and Kept the enemys hits well scattered. In the fourth inning, with men on second and third and no outs, Harrison whiffed two and forced another to p@p to the infeld. Rosenfeld whiffed six Tigers, but one bad ming spoiled the game for him.

1 to sell these neglected cuts for less than
 the cost per pound on the hoof, and
 herein is presented one of the great diff faculties of the marketing of meats-the difficulty of disposing of all cuts in such
 way as to average the cost of the ani- nal over the whole carcass
 The value of different cuts of any car cass is determined, largely, by the rela- tive proportions of fat, lean, bone and waste. As a matter of fact, if fat is left out of the consideration, there is but little difference in the food values of the different cuts. The immediate chill ing of the animal after killing is highly desirable, and the meat, following dress ing. should be washed thoroughly with
 alternate baths of hot and cold water
 and then kept in a cool spot until re
 quired. Five to ten days are required
 to render meat ripe
 Good beef should be bright red in
 color, streaked with fat and firm and
 elastic to the touch. Veal should be
 pink and less firm. Mutton should be
 or slightly yellow hard fat Pork should
 be dark pink in color, with fat less firm
 than that of beef or mutton.
 The shank is the least expensive. but
 round is a very economical cut and is
 excellent for stews and soups. The
 round is very economical cut ana doeS
 well for steaks or roasts The trump, the
 value of which may be rated as 'me-
 dium." is useful for steaks, pot roasts, braising or corning. The sirlon,. pin , hone and porterhouse, respectively, are expensive cuts from which come the choicest steaks. The prime ribs are eX- pensive cuts and supply the best roasts. The short ribs are economical cuts, fine for roasts and stews. The flank is eco nomical, as is the plate-the former af- fording fine steaks stews and praised dishes, and the latter being good for soups, stews or corning. The brisket is medium expensive and is useful in stews, soups and pot roasts. The chuck, shoul- der-clod and neck. respectively. are all economical cuts. The chuck is good for
 roasts, steaks, pot roasts. boiling and stews the shoulder clod does well for steaks and pot roasts; and the neck for soups. stews and corning.
 The thrift in using these cuts will make it easy for you to put over the Victory Liberty Loan.

 Field Events

Nashville, Tenn, April 25.-Omicial an nouncement was made here tonight that
 the annual southern intercollegiate ath-
 letic association track and field meet will
 be held in this city May 16 and r. This is considered the main event of the year of the southern colleges. The greatest rivalry probably will be between Sewanee. Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt, with Tulane. Louisiana State, Alabama, Kentucky State, University of Tennessee, Auburn Mississippi A. X M. and other southern colleges entering strong teams. Through the loss of Morrow, the star of last years team, the chances of Van derbilt winning this meet have been con- siderably weakened. Freshmen are be- ing groomed for most of the events and are rather slow in getting up the re- quired speed the baths
 The visiting teams will be cared for l in the Vanderbilt dormitories and will be l fed in K:ssam hall. All frat houses vii! be opened for the visiting clubs and the | greatest days of the school year are | loked forward to by the followers of l the gold and black.
 In former meets here several track rec | ords have been hung up and great things are expected in the coming events of 1 the strong trio of teams representing l the Tech, Sewanee and Vanderbilt.

Washington, April 25.-Organized base balls motion for retrial of the Baltimore federal league clubs suit for s9o0,Q00 dam ages under the sherman law in which a
 jury recently gave a verdict entailing
 payment of s240,000 was taken under ad .
