WILL
RACE FRENCH STAR
New Hampshire Flyer Will Ap-
pear in International
Relay Event.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. March IL
Nightingale, who won the three-m mile
international event last year at the
Pennsylvania relay carnival, will run
In the two-mile international race this
season. Nate CartmelI, the coach OF
the West Virginia track team, sent
word yesterday that Nightingale
teresting news.
Nightingale's victory last year was
one Of the big upsets of the relay
carnival. Montague. of Oxford. the
English champion, was thought to be
an easy winner. but Nightingale prac-
tically wore down the famous Eng
lish runner and won in fast time.
The foreign runner to beat this
year is De Nys. of France, one Of the
best men In Europe. He will have
to be good as in addition to Nightin-
gale, there will be several other fine
runners in the event.
Furness. of Purdue. the two mile
and cross-country champion Of the
Middle West, has entered. 1t is ex-
pected that Higgins. OF Columbia, and
Romig, Of Penn State. the Eastern
Intercollegiate cross-country cham
pion, will enter.
Andy Hisler. the fastest PhiIadel-
phia distance runner. has entered
from Drexel. where he is a student.
Hisler was fourth in this race last
year, and as he has improved greatly
1t will take a good man to beat him.
Cornell. NJ. I. T., Syracuse and
Princeton are also expected to enter
their fastest distance men. so that
the French champion will meet the
very best distance men in college to-
day. The victor will well deserve to
be called international intercollegiate
champion.
The entries for the relay carnival
keep pouring in. To date they total
over three hundred institutions. Phil
adelphians are used to seeing and
hearing OF large entries for the relay
carnival. but II Is a question II they
really appreciate the magnitude OF
the meet.
The big Illinois indoor relay car
nival boasts OF having thirty-f1ve COL
leges on their list. To date there are
over ninety colleges and universities
on the relay carnival list
There are over one hundred high
schools enrolled. though an entry of
twenty-five high schools at any other
meet Is considered remarkable. Nearly
fifty preparatory schools have sent
word that they viii be on for the
carnival, which is probably three
times as many as compete In any
other meet.
The combined list is thus really
wonderful. and the end is not yet. as
the entries do not close until April 1.
BY that time ? new record In entries
Is sure to be made.
The only difficulty will come in
finding room on the program for all
the schools and colleges that desire
to compete. All tho classes will be
filled. The nrst day will be just as
important as the second day OF the
, meet, for the French athletes will
compete in one Of the medley relay
championships. and other foreign ath.
letes. together with the French, will
be found in the two-mile interna.
tional, the quarter-mile hurdle and
other events

SCRANTON. Pa, March 11.-George
Chaney's string of knockout victories

Thomas, who has aided Connie Mack
in developing many young players.
Both O'Neil and Thomas assert that
the Yankees are well stocked with
good youngsters. and they unhesitat-

run one two in the American League
this season.

Thomas, who was Yankee catcher

ELEVENTH HOUR
DESPERATION
All right-thinking voters will continue to shoot
straight for the bulls eye of economical efficient sound,
decent business city administration.
Facts are Facts to which the public is entitled and we
make no apology for presenting them.
Mud is Mud and can serve no good purpose in any con-
test OF this character.
We have stated nothing but Facts that none can sue
cessfully dispute-al such statements made over the sig
nature of the Casper Party, Mr.. Blackmore and the coul-
cimanic candidates ON his ticket take full responsibility
for-they are not responsible for anything ese-have no
control over same.
Mr.. Veitch cannot win this election-there are not
enough legal voters in Casper who stand for his doctrines.
Mr.. GibHn has been shown to have no qualifications
for the Office of Mayor-he cannot be depended upon
has not had sufficient business experience.
MI. Blackmore's record stamps him as a man of works
and deeds-a man of the highest integrity and honor. He
is the logical candidate for the sane, thinking voter who
wants Caspers best interest served. He will be elected on
November 9Th.
He is not the man that Giblin canvassers under various
guises are telling the home owners that he is-he has not
been a bartender-does not stand for a red light district
is not opposed to civic improvements where the taxpay-
ers get value for their money.
He will give us an efficient, capable, administration
and will enforce the laws and ordinances to the end that
Casper will be a clean, moral city-free from bootlegging,
dope peddling, prostitution and gambling that Mr.. Giblin
talks so glibly about, but has done nothing to suppress.
Let's all shoot for the bulls eye and not be swayed in
our purpose by eleventh-hour promises and confusion.
