Almost every New York baseball
writer with the Yanks seems to
think so and those babies generally

world that I'm in the pink of con.

1 want to tell the pitchers in our
league that, especially. They had
some fun at my expense every now

the American League can take my
word for tim going TO have
some fun this season
This is going to be my big year.

Both of these teams are fast and
will have a good chance for vic
tory. On the second day of the
run in the half mile relay American
championship, in which each man
runs 220 yards. With LeConey as
anchor man, Lafayette has a very
good chance to win this event. The
one-mile team will also compete in
the American one.mile college
championship on Saturday
In addition. Lafayette will have
entries in several Of the special
events.
LeCOney will, OF course, run
in the 100 yards, and he will be
the favOrite for that event. His
intercollegiate record of 91.lO
seconds, only 10 seconds back Of
the worlds amateur record, gives
him pre-eminence in the east at
this distance.
If Paddock comes East, he will
find LeConey Il very worthy foe.
The next most important entry is
that of John LoehIer in the pentath-
Ion. Loehler is a fine all-around
athlete and should make very
good showing in this event, in spite
of the stars that will compete in
it. Booz in the hammer, Allen in
the high jump and 12O-yard hurdles
are the best Of the other entries,
