CENTURY RUNNERS
IN TWO CLASSICS
Race RivaIing AtaIanta's
Golden Apple Effort Is
Possibility.
BY HI. c. BYRD.

1.-TWO of the greatest sprint
races since ATLANTA paused
to pick up Milanion's gold
en- apples are to take place
in America this week and next.
Up at Soldier Field tomorrow and
Friday three of the best men in
the world will streak down the
hundred-yard Straightaway, and
the following week at Chicago in
the national collegiate champion
ships five or six and possibly
seven may strive for a prize, a
world title, that may be as last
ing as that which Paris presented
to Aphrodite.
That golden apple, the prize of beauty,
caused Aphrodite to live even until to-
day as Venus, the Roman goddess of
love and beauty, and it is not impos-
sible that the man who first breasts
the tape In one of these events in lat
ter-day America may set a standard
for short racing that in this field will
stand for all time as the acme of
human physical endeavor.
Sprinters Vie at Harvard.
This week at Harvard it will be Dyer
of Stanford University, Wyckoff of
Southern California and Tolan of Mich
igan who strive for honors. Tolan has
run at least one century dash in 95
seconds, faster time than is credited to
any other man, and he may have an
other such record in him, although only
once or twice in lifetime does an ath-
lete get himself in hand sufficiently for
the one supreme endeavor that stamps
him as world leader. Dyer and
Wyckoff have been running the dis
lance in 90, 9.5 and 81 this Spring
and are claimed by many to be the two
fastest men in the world. What they
may accomplish at Cambridge remains
to be seen, but almost anything is pos
sible. There are few who do not eX-
pect of intercollegiate A. A. A. A. record
OF 81 seconds to fall.
And If anything may happen In the
intercollegiate at Harvard, the same Is
true to an even greater degree in the
meet to be held at Chicago in June. in
which all colleges may enter men. This
century at Chicago may bring together
not only the runners mentioned in the
foregoing paragraph, but also George
Simpson of Ohio State, Leland and
Bracey OF Texas and Rice Institute and
one or two other men who do not gen.
orally measure up to these, but who are
good enough to flash brilliant per-
torrance under the right conditions.
West Has Monopoly.
Certain it is that the West, consider
ing as the West that whole section
lying west of the Alleghanies, has
monopoly on the fast men, as the East
seems to have no sprinter capable of
competing with any of the best men
that represent the Middle Western and
Far Western universities.
AS far as the intercollegiate tomor-
row and Saturday are concerned. it is
felt generally that the University of
Southern California has the best
chance for victory, with Stanford uni
verSity next in line. There seems no
doubt that these two schools have the
NEST aggregation of performers that
as ever represented any two in
itutions in the same meet, and

NET TEAMS FORM
FOR SEARS EVENT
Four Atlantic Sections in
Women'S Tournament at
Baltimore June CT.

TOR the first time since the famous
r. Sears tennis cup was put into
/ competition by Miss Eleanora r.
Sears of Boston, play for the
trophy will be held in the Middle At
lantic section when representative teams
OF the four Atlantic sections meet in
Baltimore on June and z.
The matches will be played at the
Baltimore Country Club, starting each
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock daylight saw
ing time, or at 80 Eastern standard
time. Teams included in the series are
being recruited now from the New Eng
land, Eastern, Middle States and Middle
Atlantic sections. Try-outs are being
held in Baltimore to determine the
personnel of the Middle Atlantic Sec
the ranking players of Washington,
Baltimore, Norfolk and Richmond.
Penelope Anderson of Richmond, rank
ing star Of this section, who has made
an international name for herself, will
head the team, undoubtedly.
Eight OF the Washington players are
trying out for position in a round
robin series now in progress at Column
bia Country Club. These include Phoebe
Moorhead, Ruth Martinez, josephine
Durham, Mrs. Nathan Wyeth, Mrs.
John Newbold, Dorothy Kingsbury,
Helen Sinclair and Mary Ryan. Mrs.
Wyeth and Mrs. Newbold, both of Chevy
Chase Club, are newcomers in local net
circles who are looked upon as excellent
material. Frances Krucoff, ranking d.
G. racketer, will not compete for the
team.
Champion Team Weakened.
Three players will be selected from
this actet to 60 to Baltimore within
the next few days for the final inter-
city try-outs, following which the Mid
die Atlantic squad will be named-six
stitutes. The same preliminaries are
being run off in the other Atlantic sec
tons prior to the naming of teams.
Speculation is rife up in Boston as
to who will fill the places left by the
Palfry sisters, Mianne and Sarah. who
are now playing in Europe. Their alb
sence is sure TO be felt by this team,
which now holds the cup.
1t has been only in the past three
years that Middle Atlantic section has
been included in the series, play being
originally confined to the three other
groups.
A large contingent of Washington
fans Is expected to make the most of
this opportunity to see many of the
leading feminine stars on the Eastern
horizon in action. Season tickets at So
are being sold at Spalding's Sports
Shop, 1888 G street, and at the Tennis
Shop, 1913 Fifteenth street. Daily ad-
mission is $3.50.
Miss Moorhead Is chairman of ar
rangements for the local squad.

1t also is looked forward to almost
as a certainty that several records
will fall. It is not only in the CEN
tury that brilliant performances are
expected, but also in the field events
especially in the shot and discus.
Both ball games scheduled yesterday
for local universities, GEORGETOWN at
Army and Maryland at Pennsylvania,
were prevented by rain. The Blue and
Gray simply remained idle at West
Point: while Maryland never left Col

but the latter was unable to accept

the way these aroused Senators feel

The Five-hOur Thrill.
nR. STEVE HANNEGAN reports
- that the output of humanity at the
500-mile motor speedway rush at In
dianapolis on Friday will possibly pass
the 10000 mark. This will set a new
attendance record record far beyond
anything base ball, foot ball or boxing
can meet, because there are no accom-
modations in these sports to handle SO
many folks.
The race starts at 10 am. and ends
about five hours later with a blur of
cars spinning around the last turn.
Would world series or a big foot
ball game draw 10000 people if there
was room enough to park all the specta-
tors? A world series game might not,
but an Army-Notre Dame game would,
and so possibly would a California
stanford battle. And last Fall the
Harvard-Yale game would have come
close to meeting these figures, possibly
reaching them. '

PARROT SCHOOL
MAY Be CLOSED
Presidential Ban on Birds
Stops Importation
Through Port

An embargo on parrots may mean
little to some people, but to Browns
vile 1t may mean the closing OF
one OF the city's established in
stitutions, Snake Kings parrot COL
lege.
For many years Snake King, the
towns leading importer OF the
loquacious birds, has maintained a
school at which the chatterers
fresh from their native haunts in
Mexico may be given the final
polish on their drawing room man
ners and accomplishments. Birds
graduated from this institution
were ready TO take their places
in the most elite Of p%sittatorial So
ciety without a blush.
Then came the discovery OF psit-
tacosis, a disease TO which the par
rots are victim, and which they
may communicate TO humans. Al
though, so far as Is known, the
disease has never appeared among
the birds imported from Mexico,
as a precaution an embargo has
been placed on all parrots.
A school cannot endure without
pupils. and If the embargo continues
for long, IL would seem that this
time-honored institution is DOOM
ed.
Approximately 5000 parrots per
year are imported through Browns
vile, the yellow-headed "loros" and
the redheaded "Catoros," as well as
a sprinkling OF parrakeets and love-
birds.

INAUGURAL
Rubio's Invita- n
To Ceremony
Received

A personal letter from the presi-
dent-elect Of Mexico was received
this morning by G. G. Richardson,
secretary Of the Chamber Of Com
merce. inviting the local official to
attend the presidential Inaugural
ton or February 5th in Mexico
City.
II do not know whether I will
be able TO make the trip, Mr.. Rich
ardson said this morning, but /
know that Brownsville will be rep
resented az the important function"
The letter said: Il greet you, and
extend my cordial invitation to at
tend my Inauguration as president
of this republic on the fifth OF
February at this capital. / sincerely
hope that you will find 1t possible to
come, and 1t is my desire to remain
your sincere servant, p. Ortiz Rubio."
II Is considered probable that the
mayor Of every Valley town will
journey to Mexico City on the date
Of the Inauguration, and r.. B. Rent
fro, Brownsville mayor now in
Washington, will return here in
time, 1t is said.
The chamber received a letter to-
day from Kansas City in which It
was stated that a large party from
that city will arrive here by or
around Feb. 3 enroute TO Mexico
City TO attend the Inauguration.
The personnel Of the ships will
be disclosed later, but 1t Is definite
ly known that Arthur Hargrave.
formerly Of Texas and one time
president Of the x. G. Chamber OF
Commerce. will be in the party.

TRAFFIC MEN
WILL ARRIVE
TOMORROW
Citrus Freight Rate
Adjustment To Be
Discussed

A total Of approximately $50
freight traffic managers from the
east will have their first regular
monthly meeting ever held west Of
the Mississippi river in Browns
vile. arriving Tuesday morning at
800 on q special train.
One Of the most important fea-
lures c. the conference locally, is
the proposed reduction in citrus
freight rates. Growers and ship
pers Of Valley citrus are asking
cheaper rates and the converting
body has the power to make this
adjustment.
Here Three Days
The traffic men. the most i'm
portant in the east gathered at St.
Louis and are coming direct to
Brownsville, where they will stay
for three days, the 28th, 18th, and
Both. They plan to leave here
Thursday night.
The three-day visit here will be
devoted largely to business, IL was
revealed today, and very little en-
tertainment will be included on the
program. The initial convention Is
scheduled TO open at 8 Tuesday
morning. Immediately after their
arrival in the dining room OF El
Jardin.
Decisions Final
Every decision reached by this
board is final, according to j. F..
Blanton. local traffic man. Proposed
rate adjustments will be discussed
at this meeting, and probably a
change in freight rates will result.
p. II. Coon, Missouri Pacific traf-
fic manager, was in the Valley three
weeks ago. arranging reservations
and doing advance work. He was
expected TO return to Brownsville
Monday morning. but failed TO ar
rive. He will probably accompany
the others on the special train to-
morrow.
Tour Valley
A tentative program includes an
adjournment Wednesday
morning. and leaving here at IL
o'clock the traffic men will ride 70
Reynosa where a luncheon will be
served them. An inspection Of the
Valley will be made during the drive
there and back, and after the after
noon session. another entertainment
is planned in the form Of a supper
at the chamber Of commerce.
The railway men coming to
Brownsville are said to be the most
important in the east, and are from
Chicago. New York, Boston. Mon
treal, Canada. Detroit, and other
Eastern points.
