AS usual the 1000 and 60O-yard races
promise to be productive of record
breaking performances. Reports from
the West say that Joie Ray is running
better than ever and is expected to
break his own worlds record in the
longer race. Jack Sellers, Homer
Baker, Harold Cutbill and Robert
Crawford are the runners who are ex-
pected to make the most trouble for
the Chicago marvel, although Harvey
Reed and Tom O'Brien, of Yale, may
upset the dope.
Mike Devaney is undecided about
competing in this race, as his club has
requested him to reserve his strength
and speed for the medley relay. At
the last moment he may change his
mind and meet Ray and the other
cracks in the 1000"
In the 60O-yard championship Penn
sylvania will start Earl Eby and Mar
vim Gustafson, her star middle distance
runners, and judging from the form
they have been showing in their races

Army Basketball
Team Too Strong
For Crescent Five
From a Special Correspondent

From a Special Correspondent
WEST POINT, N. Y, March 6.-The
Army wound up its basketball season
in fitting style to-day, defeating the
strong Crescent Athletic Club of
Brooklyn in rather easy fashion by a
score of q to IL.
The New Mooners, who had lost but
twice before this season, to Syracuse
and Colgate, and are credited with
twenty-four vict4 4fies, were outclassed
after the first ten minutes of play. So
strong was the Army's defense that
the visitors were able to cage but
three field goals, two of which came
in the first half, which period ended
IL to 7 in the Army's favor.
Johnson and Whitson featured with
long shots. The visitors displayed
their best form at the outset, and once
led early in the game by a score of
6. to S. Army's speed, coupled with
sure passing and keen eye for the
basket on the part of Johnson, soon
gave the soldiers a leadi which they
never after relinquished.
The cadets have won twelve out Of
fourteen games played this season, los
ing only to c. C. N. Y. and the Navy.

Court Proceedings

Now that the decision of the Su-
preme Court in the cases of Charles
Stiles and Cooper Sparks charged with
suppressing crime while Marshals of

order that bail might be fixed. While
the EAST was before the Supreme
Court the defendants were under $1,000
bail each and this amount was also
set by the Court pending the opinion
from the Court of Errors.
Clarence Fisher, the former Chief
Marshal of the Borough, who disap-
peared after the case vas carried up,
has not as yet been located and Pro-
ecutor Beckley moved for the forfeit
ure of the bail. The bondsmen are
Isadore Luterman and Thomas Taylor
and the sum they will pay over, pro-
viding Fisher is not apprehended, is
SO, 1000. A bench warrant has been is
sued for Fisher and Sheriff Mifflin
hopes to be able to get him.

fenced to six months in the county Jail
and to pay a fine of 5000 and costs
for robbery. He will be put to work
on the county roads.
Edwards was a chef at the Colnaial
Hotel owned by the duPonts at Penns
Grove and it was alleged that n eve
ming, while under the influence of
liquor he attacked an aged colored man
with a blackjack and robbed him OF
some money and a watch.

peared to be a final decision of the
matter. Council was of the opinion,

a competent auditor at a total cost of
less than $500. Under these condi-

States proposition. 1t was finally de-
