says, and one never knows how he

Captain Winkjer has also been
timing the star swimmers, Skad

results show that there will be
close competition in the club for
the South Atlantic honors, and
also that the exhibition races at
the Congressional Country Club
will be lively affairs and closely
contested by the star swimmers.

NEW YORK, March 16.-The

In order, the three participants
will match ability in. the 60-yard
dash, running high jump, 60-yard
hurdles, 16-pound shot.put, running
broad jump. pole vault and 400
meter run.
Judging from past perform
ances, HOff ought to win. A table
OF expected results has been COM
piled BY the A. A. u, and L
gives HOf victory with 5,617
points, which excels OsbOrn's total

The new attraction reduces sew
eral other events that ordinary

positions OF secondary importance.
One of these il the halffnile run
