PADDOCK CAUSE
Of DELICATE
SITUATION

PARIS, May 4.-The French
athletic federation was summoned
into special conference this evening
to consider action against the Paris
University Club for allowing Charley
Paddock, of Los Angeles, worlds
champion sprinter, to participate in
the preliminaries of the Interna'
tional University meet last night.
Sport experts fear that the Uni.
versity Club and the participants,
Including Paddock, will be outlawed.
The French athletic federation
cabled to the Amateur Athletic
Union of America for permission
for Paddock to compete, but the
University Club did not wait for a
reply.
The French organization issued
a communique saying that "a deli.
cate situation in international
sports has been created"

A year ago the home-run carnival

that Walkers presence in this home

There have been few keener

Ted Kid Lewis. When he has
worn out his earning ability in
one place he hops to another.
After coming here from Eng
land Lewis fought so many
bouts in this country before,
during and after he was welter-
weight champion that it is
difficult to keep track of them.
Then he went back to England
and started all over again.
Now Lewis plans to go to
South Africa, where he will
again be a new attraction. He
has already cleaned up in Eng
land, the United States and

most undoubtedly, overlooked the

ing golfers who will invade Wash

National Capital with the intention
in mind of making the trip a sight

pose of competing in the tourna'

Of entrants is not entirely clear
to the average mind. Any golfer
entering q tournament, be it
either the national open, amateur
or public links, does so without
the knowledge of how long he
may be away from his dOmicile.
He may not even survive the
qualifying round. Then again he
may reach the semi-finals or even
the finals. A day or two days will
make little difference to any golfer

j, Iy trapped green's proved a most
difficult proposition. Playing over
the Toledo course was tedious and
time-taking.
On the flat East Potomac Park
course it will be found that a round
of eighteen holes can be shot in at
least one-third less time than that
required to negotiate Ottawa Park.
This means that at least 240 golf
ers starting in two-somes at five
minute. interval at o'clock. in
the morning could complete the
course in one day.
1t is hardly likely that 400 will
enter the impending event. Say $50
entries were received, it would be
| possible to complete the qualifying
| rounds of thirty-six holes in three
days. The qualifying round could
start on Monday at o'clock in
the morning and by noon Tuesday
the last pair would have teed off.
Immediately thereafter those
who started their first eighteen
holes ON Monday morning could
start their second eighteen, and
the $50 would have finished by
Wednesday evening. The thirty.
two to qualify could shoot Thurs
day; the first sixteen ON Friday
and so on down the line until
the finals would be reached on
Tuesday.

Louis Gordon, the basketball cap
tain, who plays right field, Is lead
ing the batting list with 400. He
has hit a double, three-baser and
home run in his twenty-five times
at the plate. He is q good waiter
and a fast man on the bases as well
as an AL outfielder.
Percy Jenkins rates next among
the regular players with 1886. AT
that he missed two games through
injury. Percy Is fast and takes a
good cut at the ball and seems to
be at home at sFOrtstOp, where he
played two years ago as freshman
captain.
Joe Clark, who leads off the bat
ting order, and "Franny" Hill are
tied with 1873. Clark, like jenkins,
is a sprint star and is a daring man
on the paths.
Capt. George Owen has succeeded
in clipping the ball in every game
OF the seven played except one since
the season opened. In the Catholic
University game he made a slashing
home run. His average is $50, and
he ranks third. just ahead of Clark
and Hill.

Charlie Buell., the football captain,

the regular lineup and seems to have
an even chance to gain his objective.

Yankee Golfers Win
Praise OF Critics
In England

The American team which Is
in England to play for the
Walker Cup has made a favor
able impression among British
golfers.
The London Daily News says:
There is little doubt that the
standard of amateur golf IN
America is more consistent than
it is here; the resources of
American golf from which to
select a team are much greater
than ours, and it would appear
under the strict stipulation the
Walker Cup would remain on
American soil.
"The American players, how
ever, have cut out the condi-
ton; they have brought over
the cup to play as for it on our
own ground, indicating a sport
ing spirit which makes a direct
appeal to all golfers in this
country"

John Work served the Hudson's
Bay company continuously for 43
years, having entered its service in
1918 and serving it until the day of
his death in 1861. Like his distin-
guished predecessors in the Snake
country, Work rose step by step
through all the grades of promotion,
from clerk to trader. then from trader
to chief trader, until in his old age
he wore the proud title of chief fac
tor and member of the council of Van
couver and member of the board of
management at Victoria Near the
family residence of the Works, at Hill
side, Victoria, B. c., there stands to-
day a spacious old log house. 1t was
here that John Work spent restfully
and pleasantly the last years of
useful life, and not far away is the
grave of the rugged and kindly old
fur trader.
