PLANS FOR LIBERTYS'
field DAY COMPLETED

Plans are about completed for the
ninth annual field day to be staged
Saturday at Clark Griffith Stadium by
Pop Kremb's Liberty Athletic Club.
The high spot of the afternoon will be
two ball games, one bringing together
the Libertys and the Washington Red
Sox, at 2 o'clock, and the other the
Libertys and Johnny A. c. at o'clock.
The program will begin at O'Clock with
a base ball throw for distance, 5O-yard
dash and other contests open to all.
There will be prizes.
Since Kremb began staging the an
nual Liberty field day the affair has
been gradually increasing in popularity
until now it is regarded as one of the
most interesting yearly events in anna
teur sports circles hereabout.

Concerning Rodgers.
LEW have made the quick progress in
l. golf that Ira Rodgers developed.
But it isn't so surprising to those who
know him. Rodgers has the knack of
picking up a game quickly, and the con-
centration and determination to carry
it through. Back in 1919 he was one

has ever known, and star outside of

resourceful and always able to get the
best out OF his squad. Rodgers may

poets, but his team nearly always fin

With all of that, few have ever taken
up golf and within three years worked

championship pressure.
Rodgers captained the West Virginia
team that beat Princeton rs to 0. His
passing in that battle was one of the
seasons features.
Rodgers proved in his foot ball days
that he had remarkable use Of his
hands. This is the factor that turned
him into a fine golf player within three
years. The trouble with most golfers is
that they have never learned that 1t is
the clubhead that hits the ball and
that it is the hands that direct the
clubhead. The majority seemed TO have
forgotten they had a pair of hands.

BIKE RIDER BREAKS ENDURANCE RECORD
Milton Miller, Y, Sets Mark at
 15 Hours, 20 Minutes

At 4:20 o'clock Sunday morning.
 the bicycle riding endurance record of 13 hours set last week by Larry Gagnon of Maple Hill, was erased from the records when Milton Miller, IT years old of 173 Park street, alighted from his wheel after cir cling Franklin Square park for Is hours and 20 minutes.
 Miller's record was not of long standing, however, Henry Carlson. l 4 year old contestent of 26 Pearl street, taking over the champion ship shortly afterwards when, at TAO a. m., he completed 15 hours and 55 minutes at the handlebars.
 John Gregor of 72 Glen street, pedalled for 14 hours and 30 min utes before the urge for rest became too strong to resist and Edward Ha- nasse of 96 Cherry street and Addi- son Allen of 35 Glen street, lasted but six hours before giving up.
 Miller was first to set out in quest of a new endurance mark. He left the Hadfield store on Main street, at 1 p. n., riding into Franklin Square where he continued to circle the park on an average of IT times an hour until he thought he had ridden longer than any of his competitors would, all of whom took off" at 4:25 o'clock. He rode under the most adverse weather conditions, much of the grind being in beating rain, and at one time he was required to re- pair his headlight, which had gone out of order, when the policeman on the beat told him the light must burn or the contest would be sum- marily ended for violation of the city's ordinances. At no time during the day or night did he experience the bangs of hunger, in fact he says, eating of all that was proffered him would have been sufficient to force him out of the running.
 At 4:25 o'clock Carlson started out for what was to be the successful quest He rode just long enough to insure a safe margin of minutes over the record which had been set by Miller and then went home to bed
 None of the boys experienced diff fculty with traffic although the lane on the east side of the park is one of the most heavily traveled ways in the city.
 Miller accepted the loss of his title | but with the announce ment that he will start out again on September 1 to beat Carlson's rec ord.
