TIGERS TRACK

FOR BIC MEET
Coach Fitzgerald Takes His
Charges Outdoors to Pre-
pare for Penn Relays.

PRINCETON, n. j.. March 90
The promising Tiger track squad.
both varsity and freshmen, have
moved from their winter quarters to
the Palmer stadium track to begin
serious training for spring con-
quests.
Coach Kecne Fitzpatrick is al
ready pointing his charges toward
the annual Pennsylvania relays,
which is to be the first outdoor test
of the year Interest should run
high this year as Italy, Canada and
Cuba are all sending what they be-
heve to be winning aggrrgations.
The Princeton one-mile relay team
will be led by Bill Stevenson, the
Tiger captain, who won the senior
A. A. u. 440-yard championship last
year. Johnson. Conger and Taylor
are expected to fill the other posi-
tions of the quartet. The prospect
Of winning this race seems bright as
Princeton tied the fast Syracuse
four in the indoor championship run
last Saturday night.
In the field events the Nassau
weight throwcrs will be strengthen
ed by the addition of S. II. Thomp-
SOL. oll StNtIdl VCtdSlOilS
son has been picked as Americas
greatest all-around athlete. He stars
at the high jump, shot and hammer
throw. and the high hurdles. His
consistent work throughout the in
door season has proved he is up to
true form. Massey, HUM and Tay-
lor are all strong contenders with
Thompson for first place in the
hurdles.
Harry Troupe who was among the
ineligibles last year will carry the
Orange and Black in the high jump.
Huhn, Pole and especially Lourie
will fight for honors in the broad
jump.
Lourie, McKim and Liebman and
many others of improved ability are
working out daily in the sprints.
McKim has an established reputa-
ton as a speedster and Coach Fitz-
patrick is counting heavily on him
for points.
With these stars Princeton is look
ing forward to championship year.
For in the Intercollegiates 1t is a
few stars that count rather than a
large amount of mediocre material,
and in this respect the Orange and
Black certainly seems ahead OF
many of her foremost rivals.

NEW ORLEANS, March 20.
Golf may be good exercise
for baseball layer, but you
can't make Joe Kelley be-
lieve it.
The other morning Kelley
was standing in the main en-
trance to the Grunewald Hotel
in New Orleans, when the
Yanks filed out for the daily
practice. Mays, Ruth, Hoyt,
Shawkey, Bush, and Schang
were attired in golf knicker-
bockers, shirts and stockings.
After practice each day they
retire to nearby golf links and
finish the day there.
"Times have certainly
changed" said the old Oriole.
"Can you imagine our old
bunch walking through the
streets of a strange city in
those clothes? We would have
been mobbed before we had
gone a block. No use talking,
big league baseball is a joyride
nowadays. l wonder how some
of our golfing players would
have stood up under the strain
Of fighting their way in and

do?"

II was not so long ago that when

the National League one hundred

only eighteen games that year. He
played regularly after that, hitting
over .3O$$ every pear except 1918,
when he finished with q percent

The lifetime records published a
