BOB MAXAM RUNS
in A. A. U. GAMES

Washington's lone entry in the ma
tionaI A. A. L. championship meet in
Philadelphia at Franklin Field to-
morrow is Robert S. Maxam, the Uni
versity ,of Pennsylvania flyer, who
was recently released from the naval
aviation service.
MaXam is gradually getting back
into condition, and while he expects
70 compete to the best Of his ability
tomorrow, is not at top form yet.
AS a member OF the University Of
Pennsylvania freshman team two
years ago, Maxam was on the quartet
which set worlds record. His last
performance on the track was in the
Meadowbrook games OF 1917, when
he won the Meadowbrook $50, being
the first to have his name inscribed
along with that OF Ted Meredith,
three times winner of the event.
At Toronto two weeks ago, Maxam
qualified in the century and led
Hayes, the A. Z. F. crack, for seventy
yards. Maxam had done but little
work this summer, and is going up to
see how the sprinters are making a
go OF it. His best work has been
done at the quarter.
Maxam is entered in the 100 and
900 in the big championship meet to-
morrow.

JAVELN THROWERS
ARE WAKING GREAT

American jayelin throwers are pick
ing up, and the ensuing competition
soon may result in a Yankee exceed
ing the ZOO foot mark. a target that
on this side Of the pond has been shot
at in vain. From indication. it will
take 100 foot hurl TO win the jave-
lin title at the coming national cham
pionships. II the boys get TO throw
ing 100 feet it Will not be long before
the 200 mark is reached.
George Bronder's American record
is 100 feet inches. Since he made
the records-it was on September ..
I9IG-George has failed TO reach 100
feet. We was in service last season,
however. and got little chance to com
pete. With Angler OF Chicago, Ar
thur Tuck, Of the MultnOnah a. c. Of
Portland. Ore. and others TO push
him, the New York a. c. star probably
will have 10 uncork a record feat to
win tomorrow.
On account Of the way the West
erners are performing it would not be
a all surprising to see Bronder shorn
Of his American laurels. George, in
fact, twice was beaten by Angler in
both handicap and scratch javelin
throws in the X. Of c. meet at Camp
Dix.
The present worlds record for
throwing the javelin is 204 feet JSs
inches and was made by Erik Lem
ming of Sweden, September - 1912.
There are sevFlAl Swedes and Finns
who have hurled the barbed spear
more than 200 feet The javelin throw
slowly but surely is gaining in popu
lsrity here and the American youths
are becoming more proficient at the
sport 1t viii not be long before the
Yankee will menac" tho javelin throw
ing superiority Of tho Swcdes and the
