Washington athletes got no par
ticular satisfaction out of their per-
formances yesterday, as not a first
place was registered in any event.
Some Of the exhibitions given by
the men who represented George
town University were good, but not
as good as those of the athletes
against whom they were placed The
Blue and Gray colors floated in sec
ond position at the end of two cham

Virginia Team Scores.
1t was in the South Atlantic A. A..
championship mile relay that George
town got its greatest setback, though.
1t had confidently expected to win
that event, but il did not measure
accurately the speed and stamina OF
the Virginia quartet, which broke the
record for the event to win. The
Blue and Gray held the lead in the
race by just the bare margin OF a
stride or two until the last fifty
lead at the beginning Of the last
relay. He was pitted against the
brilliant Bohannon, hero of many a
race.
Bohannon stuck at Herlihy's heels
until the second curve was reach ed.
There he pulled up right at the
Georgetown mans shoulder and the
two men turned into the straight
away almost neck and neck. Day
light was not showing between them,
but Herlihy probably held a four or
six inch lead until fifty yards from
the finish, when Bohannon put forth
n mighty effort and jumped stride
ahead. Bohannon finished that dis
tance to the good and sent George
town down to defeat in the one race
of the whole meet in which it fig
ured itself almost q certain victor
Herlihy made a mistake in judg-
ment in allowing Bohannon to pull up
to his shoulder on that last turn and
probably lost the race thereby. But
that does not detract in the least
from the credit due Bohannon for his
brilliant effort. He not only used
better Judgment than Herlihy, but in
the final test, in the last fifty yards,
when both men were on even terms,
1T was Bohannon who had the extra

Sary to place his colors at the head

TURF STAR GUARDED
ON WAY TO PIMLICO

LOUISVILLE. KY, April 26.--When
Wise Counsellor. present favorite to
win the Golden Jubilee, Kentucky Der
by. left today for Pimlico. where he is
scheduled to start in the Preakness, he
was accompanied by armed guards, a
precaution taken by Trainer John Ward
after receiving reports of a plot to
cripple the colt and prevent his start
ing in the Pimlico and Churchill
Downs classics.
A relative of stabIeboy overheard a
conversation between two strangers
recently concerning a plot against the
colt. He told Ward who cautioned the
stable foreman to keep close watch
over the thoroughbred. A second warn
ing of such a plot received from an un-
disclosed source was SO convincing that
| the trainer placed three armed guards
| and two watch dogs near Wise Coun-
sellor's stall the last two days of his
stay here.
l. The crack three-year-o is said to
have been backed heavily to win both
| the Preakness and the Kentucky Derby
heavily If he should finish first in both
events.
II am told the incentive for injuring
Wise Counsellor's chances in the Derby
comes from a criminal class that has
been operating around race tracks" !"
Trainer Ward said. This gang has a
record that shows it has been in plots
before"
Wise Counsellor was purchased az q
two-year-oId for $4,000 by F. A. Bur-

trainer said, for 100000.

If you took nine boys who had
never handled a base ball in their
lives and put them out on the turf for
training and to learn base ball, 1t
would not take n week to find out
that they had developed certain char
acteristics and abilities which would
make one Of them better pitcher
than any of the others. another a
better catcher, and so on. The out
fielders are not exempt, because there
are boys who will take as naturally
to catching long flies as ducks to the
to fathem how to Judge" a fly hit.
The Judging Of a fly ball is that
which makes an outfieIder to begin
with and makes him greater as he
goes on, because he displays unusual
talent in that respect.
All Boys Like to Pitch.
Almost all boys wish to be pitchers.
have had much to do with base ball
since the beginning of the game. The
pitcher is busy, and the small boy
likes to be busy. The pitcher also
seems to dominate the situation, and
.he small boy likes that. But all boys
cannot be pitchers, and sooner or
later the fact is thrust upon them by
their own inability to do as well as
they would like to do, and by the
sharp and sometimes cruel criticism
or the Otner small boys, WHO are not
averse to making their opinions
known when they are engaged In
playing among one another.
The pitcher Of the team must be
one Of it's best players 1t has been
said that pitchers are born and not
made after they are on earth. There
is truth in that. A boy who is not
possessed of a good arm, a certain
amount of control of the bali, and
good judgment in watching what
batters do is not likely to get far as
a pitcher.
Not always is 1t necessary to have
speed. More than likely an excess
of speed will spoil the boy who tries
to use it as a pitcher, because he

one other man during the day.
BFitOn Shows Great Speed.
One of the finest races run was the
half milo covered by Lowe, anchor
man on the Cambridge University
1our. Fhe Englishman started far be-
hind in the last relay of half q mile
IN the sprint medley championship
event, but gained considerable ground
on the last runners for Penn State
and Georgetown. Marsters gained
some ground on the Penn state man
and he has been doing a half mile
under LBS, but the English runner
gained on the Hilltop captain, and
probably his time was under 1.54.
had he started on even terms he
would have beaten the Georgetown
and Penn State anchor men. If Lowe
runs in the Olympic $50 and gets a
good start of his race, he will come
SO close to winning that IL will give
representatives of other countries
nervous Drostration.
Heinrich of Penn State ran the
fastest quarter turned in on Frank
lin Field during the day. In the first
relay of the sprint medley champion
ship he did the distance in 4s seconds.
Helfrich gave the second Penn State
runner lead of fifteen yards, and 1t
was that lead which enabled his team
to win. 1t is questionable if there is
a better quarter and half-miler in the
United States than Helffrich. Big
and strong, he runs with the ease
and grace of a much smaller and
lighter man. A half-mile race in
which he would be matched against
Lowe of Cambridge University would
be an event worth seeing.
Johns Hopkins furnished two win
ners, Clarke capturing the special in
vitation 220-yard dash. in which the
best American sprinters were placed
against Liddell Of Edinburgh Cniver-
sity, English sprint champion. Lid
dell and Clarke won their respective
heats. In the final Liddell led until
the seventh five-yard mark had been
passed in, but at that point Clarke
gave great burst OF speed and got
a stride or two in front. Liddell was
going strong at the finish and was
picking up at the end, but he could
not quite catch the Baltimorean.
The other Hopkins victory was won
by Booth in the two-mile race. After
Vying with ONE of the best distance
men in the country for the first sew
en- laps. Booth rushed out in front at
the beginning of the final turn around
the track and at the finish was a good
ten yards in 'front.'

will be so confident Of his ability TO
throw the ball to the batter with
force that he will use too much of it
and give more bases on balls than he
will strike players out. A player who
gives bases on balls does not get far
as a pitcher.
Usually the pitcher shows himself in a
group of youngsters Sooner or later of
all the volunteers there will be one who
will settle naturally into the task of
throwing the ball certain distance in
the games that are played from day TO
day, and if he is progressive he will be
able to put the ball on the corners of the
plate, where it is hardest Of all for the
batter to meet it.
Don't think solely of speed when the
pitcher is named. Think of control. and
of the boy who can be cool when there
are three runners on bases and no one
out That is the type of pitcher who
makes himself felt in the long run.
Catcher Must BE Sturdy.
For the catcher it is well to pick
out a boy who is sturdy and perhaps
a little chunky, and, above all. get
the boy with the best observant
power Of any one on the team. The
catcher is the one player before
whose eyes the game is ever present.
He can see everything that i. going
stantly in front Of him, and he is
likely to be Of more assistance to the
team than any other player in the
field.
thrower. Not only is he called upon
to make the long intield throw to
second, which is part of his game,
but he is in a position where he may
snap the ball to first base, or to third
base at any time. and he must have
an arm that will help him to do it.
But when considering that arm also
consider q sound and sensible head.
because too much throwing to bases
will undo any catcher. The great
trouble with college base ball is not
lack Of throwing but too much of
it that is unnecessary.

PADDOCK TO STRIVE
FOR WORLD RECORD

DES MONIES, Iown, April 26.-With
world, American, intercollegiate rec
ord holders entered, marks are ex-
pected to fall today in. the finals of
the Drake relay carnival, provided
weather conditions are favorable and
yesterdays rain-soaked track dries.
Charles Paddock, who yesterday
ran the 100-yard dash in :o9 6-10, ty-
ing his own world record, plans to
attempt to better the performance
today and also to try for a record
world mark for which is :12 2-5, set
by G. H. Shorrill of Yale in 1896.
Paddock once ran the distance in
:1S 1-5,, but the record was not
allowed.
The blond Californian was disap-
pointed because he beat the gun in
| his exhibition century yesterday and
desires to meet today the same trio
he defeated, giving them handicap
of four instead of two yards.
The interesting relays on today's
program are the half-mile, one, two
and four mile events. The Iowa quar-
tet, which won the mile event in the
Kansas relays week ago. rules a
favorite in this event, while the
Oregon Aggies, winner of the four
mile relay. at Kansas, promise to give
Illinois a desperate race to capture
the honors in that race.
Northwestern and Michigan are the
/ favoriteS in the two-mile relay,
| while the medley is regarded as an
open race. In addition to the univer-
! sity relays, there will be similar
events for colleges and high schools.
In the trials yesterday, Hubbard,
Michigan's negro star, broke the
| Drake record on the broad jump by
| leaping "a feet 2A inches. He also
led the qualifiers in the hop, step
and jump.
