RECORDS BROKEN
College stars Smash Two World Marks and Establish New American Marks in Two Outdoor Meets.

New York, May 1.-Record break ing performances Saturday by the pick of college stars at the two major spring outdoor meets--the Pennsyl- Vanla and Drake relays-forecast what is likely to be a banner season for ter-collegiate track and field competition.
 Two worlds records were broken in relay events, a new American mark was established in the Javelin, the collegiate high jump mark was bcttercd while numerous records for both meets were either shattered or equalled.
 Seldom has greater aggregation of college stars been gathered together than that which startled the athletic world in the two day meet at Phiia- delpha, and while entries were not so numerous in the Drake university events they contributed their share of the record smashing. .---

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
 TRIMS NEW HAVEN
Local Ball Tossers Nose Out
 Preparatory School Nine

The local High school nine defeat ed the Collegiate Preparatory nine Of New Haven in an exciting game at l Walnut Hill park Saturday afternoon. l The Prep school men held the lead over the locals, ? to l until the eighth inning. when Dixie" Griffen poled out long three baggcr, scoring Wier who was on first and later scoring himself thereby putting the game on ice.
 Pitchers Battle
 The game was pitchers battle from first to last. Both Gilispic of New Haven and Gray, the local slab artist turned in good days work. The local lad especially pitched q good game. He pulled himself out of tight holes throughout the game, fam ming the opposing batters one after the other. He is a newcomer in the local lineup and in his first game of the season has shown himself to be q conner.
 New Haven scored their two runs in the second frame.s scratch hit and an error by Wier put two on, when hit scored them. The locals were unable to solve the delivery o1 Gillespie during the ensuing innings until the sixth frame
 Locals First Run
 Then. with the crowd on the side lines calling for run, the locals be gan to liven up. Gillespie became wild and walked two men after Grif- | ( l, I,a With one out the squeeze play was worked and Griffen on third slid un- der Bushnell for the first run for the locals.
 GrifYcn's Thrcc-Baggcr
 The eighth inning was fatal one for New Haven. Wier walked to first and Griffcn came up to bat The crowd begged Dixie" to come across with a hit. He met fast one by Gillispie and drove it far into left. It almost went 10 the other diamond. Had it not hit q tree in far left field, it would have been good for a homer. As it was. Griffen tore around the bases until he pulled up at third with Wier across the plate. The score was tied
 Winning Run
 Another hit sent Dixie" across with the winning run. In the New Haven half of the ninth, Gray, pitch ing superb ball, allowed one New Haven man to reach third with one out. and then struck the remaining batters out in succession, thereby winning one of the hardest games the locals will have this season.
 The New Haven team seemed to be out of the locals class at the start. They were bigger and more matured by far than the New Britain nine. They had been undefeated this season and had met some of the strongest teams in the state. The score:
