Real Battle Due in TWo.Day

Turning once again TO Mr.
IL Kipling's suggestion that
East is East and West is
West" what about that mighty
strip which happens to unfold
from the Aneghenies to the
Rockies, sometimes known as the
Middle West?
In the final trials at Palo Alto
this week it is at this middle strip
the two ocean-bordered sections
will have to look for trouble.
For example in the l00-meter test
the Far West has its Wykoff and its
KieSel-the Middle West will match
these with its Metcalfe and its Tolan,
while the South offers Topping.
In the 200-meter dash the Far West
has its Dyer and its Kiesel-the Middle
West again offers Metcalfe and Tolan
In rebuttal.
In the 4O0-meter scramble the Pacific
Coast presents Benny Eastman. Here
the main battle will come from Carr
of Pennsylvania. The Midwest has no
challenger to outrun this pair.
Other Events.
THE West again presents Benny
i Eastman for the 800-meter test.
His main rival here should be
Hallowell of Harvard, Mangain and
perhaps Cunningham. Eastman won't
run the 80O-meter affair at Palo Alto,
so this will be largely Midwest
Eastern fight.
In the 1,500-meter race VenZke from
the East will find Cunningham from
Kansas in the way, in addition to
Mangain, with HalloweI and Nordell
from the East Cunningham is likely
to be the main Venzke threat.
The Midwest has Keller to throw
against Beard in the hurdles, with Sal
ing and also Record to be given keen
consideration. But at present Beard
and Keller look to be the worlds best,
especially over the shorter routes, and
the Midwest again has its able candi-
date for any hurdle test, high or low.
In the broad jump the Far West has
its Barber-the East has its Boyle
but the Midwest has its Redd of Peoria
who recently jumped 25 feet ga inches.
In the high jump the East has Spitz
and the Pacific Coast has Marty. But
again the Midwest answers the chal-
lenge with Ward of Michigan, Nelson
of Butler and Burg of the Illinois A. c.,
who have all done 6 feet inches or
better.

 The following areas along the road have been added: Timber with in 200 feet of the Highway on Right-of-Way adjoining Lots D, G and and in the rear of lots l and 2. No timber cut on these areas may be sold or exchanged. Permits should be secured in advance of cutting from l.. B. Chisholm at wrangell, or from the District Rang CT at Petersburg.
