URGES ATHLETES
 TO BE REGULAR
Penn Track Coach Wants Men to Aim for Olympic
 Games As Their Goal.

Philadelphia May 19 Lawson Robertson, coach of the University of Pennsylvania track team, in an- nouncing his training rules for the present season, urges his athletes to make the Olympic games the goal of their athletic aspirations.
 Every man has the highest ob- tainable athletic honor before him. he says. This is to represent the United States in the O1ympics. It means no little sacrifice, but the men who are willing to forego the pleas- ures of social life and attend strictly to the tasks imposed by theS coaches have 75 per cent of success in their grasp. The other 25 per cent. is athletic ability.
 Every man must train himself and the Honor Systehm' will be used. Smoking is prohibited for athletes lete must be in bed at 10:45 p. m., noise after 1o:15
 ''Eat slowly and chew your food well. A small portion of food well chewed is worth double the amount bolted. Don't drink water afte, exercising or before meals. Two days before and on the day~of competition the rations will be cut in. half. Try tc go to sleep at. a definite hour: and lie in bed ten minutes after awakening before arising.
 9Try to be cheerful. Cheerfulnes. is next to Godliness. A sulky athlete never won a cham pionship. Remem Der that training is regularity

WYOMING SCORES IN
 STAKE AT JAMAICA

The Garden City Selling Stake was the feature of a mediocre card. at the Jamaica track yesterday afternoon. It went to Richard T. Wilson's Wyom- ing by length and a half. Crystal Ford was second, a length and a half back, and Thrift was third. It was the second stake in two days for MT. Wilson, for on Monday his Thunder storm ran off with the Newtown.
 Unlike on Monday, both MT. Wilson and Thomas Healey, his trainer, were confident their horse would win. Wyoming performed as they expect ed. He broke away from the barrier on his toes and made every post a winning one. Clarence Turner had the leg up and hustled him along ev- cry step of the way. Crystal Ford was one of the last to leave the barrier and did not get going at his best un- til the stretch was reached. There he displayed a great burst of speed and closed up a big gap on the winner.
 The Manhattan, a. six furlong dash for pIaters, resulted in a. big surprise when Sunnyland, at 30 to 1, led home his field. He followed Step son, the pacemaker, to the far turn. where he went to the front and held command to the end, to win gaIlopins by four lengths from Assume, which beat Jack Mount half a dozen lengths for the place.

WhirlS New Haven
 Out Of First Place
Using Five Singles, Double, Base on Balls and Sacrifice, the Americans Step
 Upward in Sixth.

wlhfrfings them dizzy stn the sixth in ming and collecting five runs at the same time, Bridgeport defeated New Haven, to l yesterday afternoon at Newfieid park. By this victory the Amerirans go into the top position in the leashe standing again.
 Five sfnghes. a two bagger, base on baHls and a sacrifice launched to- gether gave the home team It's oppor- tunity to purcture the rubber five times and Pitcher Brown who occu- pied the mound for New Haven was bewfldered under the cannonading. On the other hand Pitcher Lennon of the Americans toiled in major league style, allowing only few hits from which the visitors were unable to get started on.
 Among the features of the contest were contributed by Shay on Orrs hit to deep short in the sixth inning and also the fielding of Roy Grim es and Gene Martin. Roy figured in every put out in the fourth inning and one of the gems was to spear Simpsons grounyfer, while he grabbed Torpy's attempt in deep short and L2- sesph' S wicked one behind the pitcher s box. In the sixth Martin made great play on Stimpson's low liner to left center. The score:

YACHTS START
 RAGING FRIDAY
Resolute and Vanitie to Con test on Sound Off Bridge
 port This Week.

Beginning Friday, the ResoIute and vanitie will begin a drive of six races on Long Island Sound off Bridgeport and New Haven preliminary to the trials that will be held next month for the selection of defender of Americas cup.
 These early tests are planned chiefly fog training the crews and get ting the craft in perfect trim. Fol- lowing these races, the real trials that are to decide which of the two American boats should have the priv Aege of meeting the Shamrock ". in July for Americas cup, will be con- tested.
 Both Vanitie and Reso1ute have been out during the past week on sail stretching spins which enabled their Corinthian crews to familiarize them selves with the yachts under racing conditions. The slippers devoted considerable time to drilling the sail ors.
 Rear Commodore George Nichols, who has charge of the Vanitie, seems to think that the alterations in the bronze boats rim have increased her speed and that she will show consid- rable improvement in her ability to go to windward.
 At Bristol. R. l., where the Resolute has been tried out on Nara gansett Bay, Robert Emmons and Charles Francis Adams. her amateur skipper, seem equally pleased with the Herre- shoff yachts performances in both light and heavy weather, and conf dently look for her to repeat her vic tories of six years ago, when war in- terrupted plans.

 WINNING PREAKNESS

Baltimore, May 19.---Samuel Rid dle's renowned Man O. War, the three year-old som of Fair Play which won the unddsputed juvenile championship last year, scored a hollow victory in the historic Preakness stakes at the Pimlico track yesterday afternoon. He opposed eight of the best three ar-olds in the country and made them look like selling platers. Un- touched by whip or heel and never allowed to do his best he romped to the easiest kind of a victory. He cov- cred the one mile and a furlong route in 1:51 3-5, only three-fifths of a sec ond behind the track record, and 1t was the opinion of all horsemen pres ent that if he had been compelled to do his best all the way he would have clipped several seconds from the old mark of 1.51. As it was, he covered the mile in the track record time oi 1:38 Is.
 Harry Payne Whitney's Upset took the second end of the purse, a. length and half back, and his stable mate Wildair was third.
 Man O War was the popular Ia vorite and paid $S.60 in the g mutuel machines. This is equivalent to to 5.
 By his victory the great son of Fair Play earned $2S, GOO, naking his grand total of winnings $107, ,210.

Brass City Fans Pan OW n
 Manager

A certain element of un1oyaI rootef are making life miserable for Jud Da- ley, manager of the Waterbury club, and as a result the Rrassco pilot, has refused to play in right field at any more Sunday games on his home grounds. The situation is one of the most unusual recorded in Eastern league history and isn't much of boost for the much heralded Water bury home town spirit
 Here's what one Brass City sports writer has to say about the disgrace full scene enacted at the Brassco's new ball park on Sunday:
 Sunday the crowd out in right field
 banned Jud Daley so hard that he said, I'll never play out here again l This gave rise to the report that Jud was through as manager. However, this report is without foundation.
 Jud was so nettled by the banning he received from the professional crab
 bers that he decided not to get into
 any more games on Sunday. Why
 hometown rooters should crab at a
 manager who has knocked out five
 bingles in two days is a mystery. Wa terbury is noted around the circuit for
 being a tough city to play in, for the home team as well as the visitors. A
 handful of irrespsorsib3es have given the city this unenviable name.

MAYS NEEDS WORK.

Manager Miller Higgins of the Yankees is in no way alarmed over the failure of Carl Mays to show win ming form in several of his games this spring. According to Higgins, Mays is suffering from lack of work and will be ready soon to show effective ness that marked his pitching after he joined the Yankees in August of last year.
 "A slight cold in the shoulder when we came north from Jacksonville was the first trouble Mays experience ed but that has disappeared. He was inactive during the opening series in Philadelphia when he was not with the team and that, with bad weath CT interfering with our schedule, has kept him from getting the work which he needs to round into good form. l believe he will be ready in a few days and when he gets the underhand ball dipping up to the plate he will win a lot of games.'

 WILL SHORTEN LIFE

Philadelphia, May 19 - Marathon running is a dangerous practice and will shorten the life of an athlete by several years, according to Alfred Shrubb, famous coach of the Oxford Cambridge track team which came to this country to participate in the Uni versity of Pennsylvania relay races.
 At a banquet in honor of his team Shrubb urged that American youths should not be encouraged to compete in long distance contests. The effect on the muscles, heart and other or gans, he said, causes premature death.
