TWO DAY PLAN
GETS APPROVAL
Of TRACK men
Move Made in Regard t,
Third Annual Track
Meet at Morgantown.

MoRGANToWN, April s-(speciall
The fact that two whole days will
be utilized for running OF the third
annual West Virginia high school
track and field meet here Mag 81 and
% is proving to be most popular
move among, the representatives OF
the high schools as VOL as the pub
lie. Last year and the year previous
when there we're less than half the
number OF competitors expected this
year, the trials in the hammer. shot,
discus, pole vault and some of the
other events were extremely tedious.
BY using twos days for thes events
practically all the trials will be ruE
off on Friday, May 2tst, and from
four to ten men will be left in the
various events to- compete on Satur-
day in the finals.
1t Is probable that on Friday out
of the forty or fifty men entered in
the shot, hammer, discus, pole vault,
high jump, broad jump and javelin
throw, there will be only five mon
qualified in each event These five
in each event will get three trials
again on Saturday and naturally this
will bring out the highest class COM
petition imaginable.
On Friday, also, trial heats will be
run off in practically all the runs ex-
cept perhaps the two mile and mile.
Last year as many. as thirty-five men,
banked four deep on the track started
in single event with the result that
a man who drew the outside was run
ming under great handicap. This
year IL there are seventy-five entries
in the quarter mile as is expected,
there will be seven or eight heats on
Friday with about ten men in each
heat the first two qualifying for the
finals on Saturday when probably
two heats of trial and a final will be
run off. The name procedure will be
followed in other running events.

Sport Chat

With the opening of the big league
season only few days away the
baseball fans all over the big league
circuits are getting ready for the ope-
ming sessions and baseball this year
should enjoy a very happy run unless
something comes up during the sea-
son to upset the dope. Despite some
rather shady transactions during the
winter months, despite holdouts and
jumps in prices of admission the old
ball game still has hold on the Amer
lean public and will most likely have
a generous patronage during the com
ing campaign. But the big league
managers, promoters and players had
better stick close to the straight and
narrow pathway, rs much as possible
in the future for the good of the game.
Although they may not realize the
fact there is limit to public patience
even in Baseball and few more
funny stunts IN the major circuits
will mean something very serious to
the professional baseball proposition.
For the last few years the sandlot
guys have been slowly but surely
coming into their own. Amateur base
ball is no longer a thing of great in
terest in only the small towns, but
the little fellows are making hit or
two right i'll the backwards of the big
league boys. Take in the city of
cleveland for instance, where anna
teur and semi-pro boseball has q
greater grip on the populace than any
other city in the country, it is fact
that the fast sandlot teams held to-
gether by fine organization are real
~ making dint in the gate receipts
OF the American league right along.
The Indians this year, however if they
live up to the dope will have an adj
vantage owing to the fact that they
are picked to win the American league
flag. A team is always good draw
ing card when 1t is winning and the
Cleveland fans will give the Indians
full support If they keep out in front
in the Junior organization. ~
But as we stated before this thing
OF baseball players holding up the
managers and owners of ball clubs
In the big leagues for salaries that
sl-e out of proportion to services rem
Tered and the owners in turn, making
the fans foot the bill in advanced
prices, can't go on forever. And once
thole IL arevoiution against profess
sional baseball, IL it ever CONES to
that. it viii be a long time before the
uegnates make up the losses.
Right here In Marion county the fans
have no big league aggregation TO see
In action, except once in long time
when an exhibition game is staEea
within reach and yet Marion county
folk get goodly amount of fun and
enjoyment out of the amateur and
semi-pro ball in this section. And
what's more they see Just about as
good baseball as is often dished mn
in a major league encounter.

Two big events are on the baseball
program for today. The Varsity win
open the season at Morgantown in the
'irst Of two game series with the
Tairmont Collegians, while the Reds
and Senators are scheduled to hook
Up in an exhibition battle at Clarks-
burg. Both contests hinge on the
weather being warm enough for base
ball While the air is very cool this
morning and there was frost last night,
it seems certain that both contests
IAN be staged. II the game in Clarks'

be a very pretty fight between two

ton. 1t will now be up to. him to make
good and show that he deserves the
honor Simon, Hood, Knight. Finn,
Chenoweth and other stars are to be

Giants the swarthy Californian has

on the bases than he was in the old
days when he was teamed with Duffy
Lewis and iris Speaker, and the Red

most efficient defensive trio in either
