The Catholic University Maryland
games have become the most impor-
tant on the local college base ball
calendar, so far as strictly home
battles are concerned. Victory in
them appears to be especially sweet
to either institution. So far this
season neither the Brooklanders nor
the Old Liners have accomplished
much TO boast of. but recently the
teams have shown some improvement.
Catholic University finished ahead in
its last three engagements and Mary
land in its last two.

Lacking good mud runners. both
mines We're severely handicapped in
the early part of their schedules
Indictment weather prevented quick
conditioning at both Brookland and
College Park and the caliber of the
opposition probably was n trifle too
high for early scheduling. However,
each now has good pitcher ready
for action and that means much in
college base ball. May. who appears
TO be the best bet of the Brookland
mound corps, very likely will slab

The game will be the first of the
series held annually by these old
rivals. No date for the second tilt
has been arranged. Maryland last
month was scheduled TO face Catholic
University at Brookland. but rain
prevented the meeting. Should each
score win in the first pair of
clashes Il third match will be listed,
probably on neutral field.

YANKEE RUGBY TEAM
WINS OLYMPIC GAME
BY WILLIAM f. NASH.

PARIS, May 12.-America's easy
victory over Rumania in yesterdays
Olympic rugby match tends to lend
great interest to the game scheduled
for next Sunday between France and
the United States, which is expect ed
to draw a record breaking attendance.
Nobody who was present at yester-
days game can doubt the enthusiasm
of France for foot ball. 1t is true
that the crowd was rather small. due
to the elections, but the liberality in
noise made up for what was lacking
In numbers. Even partiality of the
yellow painted bleachers for Rumania
was due apparently to nothing more
than fear about next weeks result
If Rumania had won, France would
have carried off the championship.
If the United States won, especially
by a. big score, France might be
beaten.
Over five thousand foot ball teams
exist in France, the correspondent is
told, and the figure implies athletic
development of which Frenchmen are
proud. Everybody unites today in
praising American sportsmanship.
None of that brutality we expected
was actually displayed on the field

have gone to some pains to spare the

OLDSMOBILE STOCK
CAR SETS ANOTHER
ENDURANCE RECORD
Makes 908-mile Ran in 81
Hours and II
Minutes.

Another record Of a type to test the
stamina and endurance qualities of an
automobile has been made by a new
Oldsmobile Six. A stock touring car,
fully equipped, with windshield and
top. made the run from Pasadena,
CAL, to Phoenix, Ariz., and return, a
distance of 90S miles, over the famous
mountain and desert A. A. A. course,
in 81 hours and 81 minutes. reports
the johnson Supply company.
The run was made by L. 8. Hop
kins, sales manager for Il. Grant Hay
ward, Oldsmobile dealer at Pasadena.
Before starting Hopkins had the hood
and radiator officially sealed and his
time officially checked at the West
ern Union office at Pasadena.
Unfavorable road conditions, parti-
cularly in passing over the mountains
and through the Arizona desert, were
experienced by Hopkins. Nevertheless
he arrived at Phoenix Is hours and %
minutes after leaving Pasadena. The
return trip was made in Is hours and
SO minutes. This time is considered
remarkable inasmuch as during many
miles of the trip road conditions
forced Hopkins to maintain a rate of
speed frequently below 20 miles an
hour.
Official check showed that the
round trip of 90S miles was made with
an average of 26 % miles per gallon
of gasoline. Only one quart of oil and
three pints of water were used.
Since its introduction last fell. the
new Oldsmobile Six has captured a
of records in these combined
speed, endurance and economy runs.
Tests of this character have supplant
ed speedway racing to a large extent,

conoitions by the driver-owner" and
arv made BY regular stock cars taken
from the factory production line.
Another recent Oldsmobile run that
attracted countrywide attention was
made by "Cannon-Ball" Baker after
he had driven an Oldsmobile from
New York to Los Angeles in high
gear with low, second, and reverse
gears removed from the transmission.
The day following his arrival in Los
Angeles he drove the same car, still
with only high gear in the transmits
sion. from Los Angeles to San Fran
cisco, making the 4S1 miles in 10
hours and 40 minutes.
On several other occasions an Olds-
mobile has made record trips On toe
same run. In 1907 an Odds, piloted II
Ralph Owen, then factory manage
of the Odds Motor Works. made the
run from Los Angeles to San Fran
cisco in the then record time of SO
hours, thereby winning a match race

Laing, of the Lansing police deyArt-
ment. He drove the car to Jersey
City and then made daily runs
through New Jersey. New York and
Pennsylvania running a total dis
lance of 5001 miles before having the
seals removed before witnesses. An
examination Of the car at that time
showed it to be in perfect condition.
Over the 5001 miles the total gasoline
consumption was 237 gallons-an
average of Oil miles per gallon-and
but four quarts of oil were used. This
gasoline mileage is remarkable, con-
sidering the fact that the sealed hood
prevented carburetor adjustments to
compensate for temperature and
weather changes over the period Of the
test-October to January.
