HAMILTON SEEKING
PENTATHL0N TITLE
Champion AI1-Around Athlete in
Fine Shape in PreIimi-
nary Trials.

PHILADELPHIA, April 12.-Brutus
Hamilton. the pentathlon champion
of America, is going great guns at
Missouri where he is getting into con-
dition for the pentathlon college
championship that is one OF the feat
ure events of the relay carnival to oe
held on Franklin Field on April y
and 80. The pentathlon takes place
the first day of the meet.
Hamilton is very keen to win the
pentathlon here. He showed in the
Illinois indoor meet that he is in bet
ter condition than he was last year
when he won the decathlon there
Hamilton's keenness for the coming
contest is because last season he COM
peted at the relay carnival and fir
ished second to Bradley, of Kansas,
and Bartels, of Pennsylvania. He de-
sires to get revenge for this defeat
and he will surely have a chance to
do this as both Bartels and Bradley
Will be in the event.
LeGendre, of Georgetown, one of
the finest all-around athletes in the
country, will be in the meet, so II will
take an improved Bradley to win this
important contest this season. 1t is
probable that the winner will have
to show higher standard of perform
ance for the different events than was
ever set in a similar competition.
Hamilton has improved greatly In
his sprlnting since last year and also
in his broad jumping. He has cleared
over twenty-five feet in practice In
the broad jump, while his sprintirg
has been so high class that he has
been representing Missouri in the
short dashes all winter. Hamilton
competed in the pentathlon in the
Olympic games and won second place,
the winner being T.. Lethonen, OF
Finland. that land of surprising sth-
letes.
The pentathlon, with Bradley, the
present college champion; Bartels. of
Pennsylvania, and LeGendre, OF
Georgetown eX-college champions,
and Hamilton, the present A. A. 4.
champion, is sure to be high class. 1t
Is one of the features on Friday and
will go on during the running OF the
other events.
Each athlete takes part in five com
petitions, namely 200 meter run, 1900
meter run, broad jump. discus aud
the javelin. 1t is not only test -
athletic ability in the various events,
but IL IL equally n test of stamina. rs

THURSDAY TOSEE
MILITARY EVENT
Dozen Starters Expected at
Bowie, Featuring Officers
of Army.

The military race that will be the
salient feature OF the last weeks
racing of the Southern Maryland
Agricultural Association at Prince
Georges Park. Bowie. will be run on
Thursday. 1t will be a gallop Of
seven furlongs out of the chute for
three-year- -olds and over, thorough
breds, either owned by individual
officers of the Uniter States military
and naval services or animals that
are the property of the War Depart
ment But all starters will be ridden
by commissioned officers in uniform.
The first race of this character
staged at Bowie was won a couple
OF years back by Lieut.. Cosmos
White, a staff officer. Last falls race
at Bowie was won by Major McDon-
aid, cavalrynan. on Col w G..
Gambrelrs lie Gordon. LIE Gordon
had won a similar event at Laurel
in October.
Among the riders in last falls race
were Maj. Stanley Koch. of the re-
mount service. the same who won
the 3O0-mile military horse endurance
race in New England in October on
the half-bred mare Mile. Deniss.
other riders were Majors Stephen
son and Chandler. Colonel Palmer
and Lieutenants Taylor. Borden and
Wilson. Most OF these officers will
ride again at Bowie on Thursday.
The army is very keen for races
of this sort and the managements of
Bowie and Havre de Grace have been
warmly thanked by the remount sery-
ice for putting two such on their
programs this spring.
There will be upward OF a dozen
starters on Thursday according to
reports made to clerk Of the course
Joseph McLennan and all the starters
will be ft. 1t was known in army
circles last fall that there would be
at least one spring military race at
Prince Georges Park and the owners
OF eligible horses have taken time
by the forelock and got ready.
The military race the Hartford
Agricultural and Breeders Associa-
ton will promote at Havre de Grace
will differ from the Bowie affair of
next Thursday in that it will be a
steeplechase of two miles. The Havre
de Grace race will be a 81 200 affair
fir army owned horses. all under 1855
pounds. Possibly as many as ten

NAWMAY COMPETE

Second Class to Graduate in
June, Giving Seven Men
Chance to Race.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd, April 1.-THE
entry of the Naval Academy crew at
the Poughkeepsie regatta was made
almost certain by the announcement
tlat the second class will graduate
ia December. instead of next June,
and that the members will be given
thirty days leave, commencing the
first week in June.
Seven of the oarsmen and Cox
swain Clark are members of this
class and will not be required to
20 on the practice cruise. The other
oarsman is Captain Moor, who will
graduate June 3, and will also be
given leave for a month.
While the date of the Poughkeepsie
classic has been tentatively set for
June %. 1t is hoped here that it will
be advanced somewhat. In the latter
event the midshipmen would probably
stay for the race and take their
leave Immediately after.

W0ODRING MAY Be
FOE OF PADDOCK
Syracuse Track Star Prepares
To Face Californian in
PhiIIy.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, April 12.-Alan
Woodring. an Olympic champion and
star of the Syracuse University track
squad, is likely to meet Charley Pad
dock, the Pacific Coast flash, in the
220-yard dash as the feature event
OF the Penn relays scheduled for
Franklin Field, Philadelphia, April 20
and 80.
Woodring is to enter the meet, and
an invitation has been sent to Paddock
on the coast, urging him to come
East and show that his record-break-
ing performances are not confined to
California cinder paths.
Paddock and Woodring were among
the American runners in the 22O-yard
dash at the Olympic games at Ant
werp, the Syracusan being returned
winner In the event.
Paddock has broken records for the
100 and the 220-yard dashes several
times on the Coast. but a question
has arisen whether he was favored
by the wind or not, and there Is some
doubt as to whether or not his records
will be accepted as official by the
A. A. u.
His last remarkable performance
was in the 220-yard event, which he
stepped in 20 2-5 seconds ten days ago.
This time Is very likely to be recog-
nized as a record by the A. A. u.
There are many affidsvits supporting
the word of the race officials to show
that there was no wind to aid the
runner.

II AKING ribbons out of the fashion
L world would be like taking flow
ers out of spring, for they have come
to play an essential part in all the
apparel of women and children. They
have progressed from the field Of dress
accessories to that of dress trimmings
and are now very often included in the
composition Of garments.
Shopping bags and girdles still ac-
count for the majority of sales in the
ribbon departments of the shops. Lin
gerie ribbons and bows also add much
to the increasing volume Of business
done at the ribbon counters; ribbon
flowers. hair bows and innumerable
furnishings and accessories make a
continual demand, so that the story
of ribbons is long one-with no end.
The two most important items in the
displays, bags and girdles, are repre-
sented by a few selections pictured
here as suggestion OF the endless
variety OF ways in which ribbons are
used for these accessories. The girdle

Loss of Appetite.

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about a loss of appetite, and
if you skip a meal or only eat two
meals a day for a few days you will
soon have a relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in mind
that at least five hours should always
elapse between meals so as to give
the food ample time to digest and the
stomach a period of rest before a
second meal is taken. Then If you
