see small reason to doubt the time
credited to George Simpson. Any man
who leads Bracey, Tolan, Leland and
Elder to the tape in the 100 is likely to
be travelling fast. To my mind Simp-
son has been the best sprinter in the
country all season, and one of the best
who ever lived. Here is man who can
run a 100, 220 or 440 in record time
and If he desired it's probable he could
be a great $50 or mile man. Lloyd
Hahn started as a sprinter. Simpson
Ia just naturally a great runner.
Every man who won an event in this
National Collegiate meet grasped VIC
tory against sturdy competition. Wal
ter of Northwestern beat Williamson,
Bowen and Brown in the quarter.
Genung of Washington trimmed Gist
White and Let's in the half. Getz OF
Alfred won from Martin and Kiser In
the mile.
Rothert of Stanford defeated T-renz,
Behr and Jessup in the shotput, and
Rasmus of Ohio won a discus event
from Moeller, Anderson, Jessup. Beattie
and KrenZ Four men went 13 feet 6
inches or better in the pole vault.
Gordon of Iowa again proved that
Negroes are great broad jumpers
Gourdin of Harvard and Dehart Hub
bard of Michigan proved it some time
ago. Robson, Pollard and Slater In
foot ball and Edwards, Drew, Tolan
and Foster on the track are others who
have demonstrated what their race
could accomplish in amateur sport.
1t is becoming clearer every day that
no field record, with the exception OF
the hammer throw and no track record

In general, suffered cruel blow in the
death of Ernest B. Cozens, graduate
manager of the University OF Penn

A great athlete himself, Cozens loved
all games of competitive recreation. He
was natural leader of men, and his
influence over youth always was large
and fine.
Ernie Cozens always held the loyalty
and affection of his friends and the re-
spect of his opponents. With his de-
parture for that unknown country, a
sportsman and a gentleman will be
missing from the game.

able that New York has improved its
club batting in comparison with its
rivals. washington has done a little
better, and Boston still looks to have
last place cinched. Foxx of the Ath-
letics still leads in hitting, and Cochrane
and Simmons still are among the first
five, but Lazzeri and Rice have dis
placed Kamm and Jameson.
In the National League Pittsburgh
has gone to the front and New York
has come up fast. PHILADELPHIA has
dropped back and Brooklyn has been
hitting the chutes. O'Doul, Hendrick
and Stephenson still are among the five
leading batsmen Frederick and Klein

and Herman are now among the leaders.
1t looks like a hot race in both leagues.

CUMBERLAND, Md, June "a. -
Services in commemoration Of the
Lost Children Of the Alleghanies" will
be held next Saturday at Pavia, Bed
ford County, Pa, not far from Bed
ford and about 40 miles above Cum
berland. All-day exercises have been
arranged, the memorial service to start
at 2 o'clock.
The exercises will honor the memory
of George and Joseph Cox, children
of the late Samuel and Susanna Cox,
who disappeared from their home near
Pavia April IA, 1856, and were found
dead in the woods after an intensive
search by more than 5000 persons

his dog barking in the woods and went
out with his gun to shoot the squirrel

when he returned he inquired for the
two boys, George, aged Z, and Joseph,
aged 6, and was informed that the

WORK IS PRAISED
Rev. Charles Butler AssaiIs
Press for Way of Handling
Bootleg" Stories.

The work of the Anti-Saloon League
was praised and the press criticized for
the way 1t handles bootleg" stories
in an address by Rev. Charles II. But
Ter, pastor Of the Columbia Heights
Lutheran Church, at a meeting COM
memorating the thirty-sixth anniver-
sary of the founding of the Anti-Sa-
loon League last night. The meeting,
attended by about so persons, was held
in the Columbia Heights Lutheran
Church.
DR.. Butler declared that, whereas
some newspapers give accurate ac-
counts in prohibition stories, many are
unfair, particularly in reporting deaths
from shootings by prohibition agents.
Many Of the shootings, he said, have
been proved to be justified.
The speaker defended the right of
preachers to express themselves on po-
litical questions where moral issues are
involved. He declared, however, that it
would be improper for ministers to ex-
press themselves where purely partisan
issues are involved, with no great moral
issue at stake He says he believes in
the separation of church and state, but
in the union of religion and state.
Andrew Wilson, president of the Dis
trict of Columbia Anti-Saloon League,
reviewed the accomplishments of the
league and declared that some of the
finest steps in prohibition work at the
present time could be taken by society
matrons in eliminating intoxicating
drink at social functions.
Albert E. Shoemaker, executive sec
retary of the District of Columbia
Anti-Saloon League, In a brief address,
praised the work done by DR.. Butler
for the league, declaring that the lat
ter had been among the most active
ministers in the interest Of league

WILBUR LEAVES
BOULDER DAM SITE
Las Vegas Citizens Are Told
Work viii Start as Soon as
Final Plans Are Drawn.

By the Associated Press.
LAS VEGAS. New. June 24.-secre-
tary Wilbur. weary from two days of
intensive inspection In the Boulder
Canyon Dam vicinity, left here yester-
day for San Francisco after promising
the big dam in the Colorado River
would begin as soon as final plans could
be drawn and certain legal questions
settled.
The promise meant much to Las
Vegas, where employment furnished by
the construction work will relieve a sit
uation brought about by the town
booming" when the legislation was
passed six months ago.
Hundreds of persons looking for work,
hearing that the Government was going

Vegas. and are now living around the
outskirts of the city in tents and
rudeTy constructed shacks. On every
side the great American desert stretches
for miles, making it impossible for the

stranded people, but in spite OF these
efforts. there has been, and still is.
suffering.
City officials say that most of the mis-
fortune has settled on unattached men
who roam from one frontier to another,
In hope OF getting rich quick.
In addition to the influx Of laborers
for whom there was no labor, r1any
substantial citizens have looked askance
at a land boom that blew over the Sec
ton like a desert sandstorm. No lots
have been sold that were under water.
but large number have been sold sighL
unseen, where there Is no chance Of
ever getting any water.
Most of the land boom has been dealt
with effectively by lifelong residents Of
Las Vegas, but only the starting of con-
struction at Black Canyon can relieve
the unemployment situation.
DR.. Mead to Be in Charge.
Dr. Elwood Mead, Commissioner Of
Reclamation. with Raymond L. Walter.
chief engineer of the bureau, who will
have charge Of the actual construction
OF the dam, have decided where the
permanent construction camp will be.
and during the last two days have In
spected half dozen gravel pits, which
are available for use in the work.
Working with full force the engi-
neers estimate that 1t will take at least
seven years. probably eight, to finish
the dam, and then 1t will be two years
before 1t nils from flood waters.

farther q shoe worn by one of the
children. Crossing stream, he came
to the tree pictured in his dream and

was resting on his brothers body. The

BALTIMORE. June 24.-The failure
of the State Roads Commission to in
stall proper drainage is cited by r. E.
Maddox. president of the Glenburnie
Improvement Association as responsible
for the condition existing on the Grain
Highway, which he said was flooded for
a distance of between 100 and $50 feet.
Mr.. Maddox pointed out that auto
mobiles using the road had to run hub
deep for time through puddle near
the Glenburnie line and said this situa-
ton prevailed after every heavy rain
This flooded condition follows the
heavy rains" Mr.. Maddox said. I'VE
have asked the State Roads Commission
to install the proper drainage. but they
pay no attention to the request. They
say they will investigate, but nothing
happens.
THE flooded road is one Of the main
arteries to Southern Maryland and cer-
tainly, it seems to me. the commission
should act at once to end this situation.
Il have been before the commission
and made a proposition to relieve the
situation in which the community would
join hands with the commission in the
expense, but they have failed to act
