This interesting problem will be
decided tonight in Madison Square
Garden where the Knights of
Columbus are staging their an
nual track and field games.
The two champions who are
seeking new worlds to conquer are
Chuck Hornbostel, the bespec-
tacled Hoosier who is king of the
half milerS, and Johnny Follows,
the N. Y. A. C. star, whose spe-
cialty is running the last three
laps of a two-mile jaunt as if he
were a quarter miller.
Venzke Holds Record
They will try to trim Glenn
Cunningham, the Kansas mile title
holder; over his pet route and
while they are at it, they will also
endeavor to show up Gene Venzke,
the slim Pennsylvania, whose
4:1O indoors still is the record
mark for eight furlongs.
Track followers are divided IN
their opinions, some holding no
champion, no matter how great.
can beat another champion at his
own game, while others contend
Hornbostel and Follows are super
athletes with enough stuff to trim
even a Cunningham.
Some think Hornbostel with his
greater speed has a better chance
to turn the trick than Follows
Others believe that a man like
Follows who can sprint three laps
at the end of two miles will find
the mile route inst breeze.
May Set BliStering Pace
It is likely that Cunningham
will set a blistering pace all the
way to try to take all the final
sprint out of Hornbostel, but the
writer has a hunch the Hoosier
will stay with him.
Follows has never run a mile In
competition. What he can do is
q mystery, even to himself. Here's
o fellow who keeps up a running
fire of conversation with his op-
ponentS for nearly two miles and
then turns on the juice to leave
them far in the ruck.
His stamina IS amazing and it
is only natural to suppose that
if he can sprint the three last
laps in a 22-lap two-mile race, he
should sprint at least the last
five in a 11,lap mile run.

HERMAN FOR COBB

Babe Herman, Cub outfielder
holds one unique distinction. Some
years ago, as rookie, he was with
the Detroit club and during his
stay there was sent up to pinch
hit for Ty Cobb. He came through
with a home run.

TWO PLAYERS
BATTLEFOR
THIRD BASE
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

BILOXI, Miss, March 1.-TWO
important battles for positions
with the 1884 Griffmen begin here
today.
The first of these is struggle
between Ossie Bluege and Cecil
Travis for third base honors, while
the second is a tussle involving
Fred Sington and Gus Dugas for
the extra outfielder's berth.
Both promise to be interesting
battles because of the four per-
formers in question possess a
great deal of ability-the sort
which promises to make it hard
for Manager Cronin to make def
mite decisions in their respective
cases.
Let GuesSerS Guess
The Bluege- Travis setto prob
ably will have everyone in camp
guessing for a long while.
Heretofore, or for the past 10
days, it's been a one-Sided affair,
as Travis has had the position
all to himself while Bluege has
sat back to await his reporting
date before showing his rival that
he still can jump around and put
up grand battle for the job.
One of the big items in Travis
favor will be his hitting. His
improved fielding will also stand
him in good stead, as Bluege will
probably find out once he's COM
peted against his rival face to
face for a few days.
But Ossie is not worrying q
great deal about the situation as
he says it's part of a veterans
life when he reaches that stage
in his career when younger per-
former is out to snatch his po'
sition away from him.
Said Bluege today:
I'm here to do anything
that CrOnin wants me to do
play third base regularly or
fill a utility berth. If there Is
to be a battle ahead with
Travis, it is not for me to worry
about as he's a member of the
team now as well as myself.
If he plays it'll be CrOnin's
business. It will be JOe's buSl-
ness, also, if I get the call. It's
baseball in my way of thinking
and I think I'll be doing my
part by being here and being
ready at all times"
A swell speech for Ossie and
characteristic of the spirit prevail
ing in every performers mind here
at camp.
albany Gets One
Now, about the Sington-Dugas
battle. Both players are in uni
form on the recommendation OF
Joe Cambria, president of the
Albany club of the international
League, which means that one or
the other will be re .urned to that
club in the event he fails to make
the grade as a Griffith prospect.
If experience means anything at
all, Dugas will probably be kept
by President Clark Griffith, as
the little outfielder has seen serv.
Ice in past years with the Phillies
of the National League.
But Sington, because of his
heft and reported ability to slug
the ball and slug it far, wide and
handsome, will be given every con-
sideration, particularly as he is
hitter from the right side Of the
plate whereas Dugas is portside
batSman.
Yesterday Dugas impressed as
being the better performer. He
took a much claSSier cut at the
ball than did Sington, but failed
to drive it as far.

So between them it was done;
thereafter, while Mr.. Smivvle
crouched beside that restless, NUT
tering form, Barnabas put on his
cloak and, rolling up the torn coat,
hid it beneath its ample folds.
What, are you going. Beverley"
"Yes-for one thing to get rid of
this coat. On the table are twenty
guineas, take them, and just so soon
as Barrymaine is fit to travel, get
him away but above all, don't"

suddenly, starting up and peering
wildly over his shoulder, "w-Yho is

body behind me-who is it?"
Nobody, Barry-not soul, my
poor boy, compose YOURSELF" But,
even as Mr.. Smivvle spoke, Barry
maine fell back and lay moaning
ftfully and with half-closed eyes.
Indeed I fear he is very Ill, Bever-

whatever you do-keep Chichester
away from him. AS regards money,
I'll see you shant want for it. And
now, for present, good-by!"
So saying, Barnabas caught up his
hat and, with last glance at the
moaning figure on the couch, went
from the room and down the stairs
and let himself out into the dingy
street.
It was long past midnight when
Barnabas reached his house in st.
James Square. Now, late though
the hour, Peterby was up, and met
him in the hall.

he beheld his young masters disor-

MD. AUTO DEALERS
ADMIT VIOLATIONS

Three Maryland automobile dealers,
who admitted they had violated the
Motor Vehicle Retailing Code, con-
scented to the issuance Of injunctions
against themselves in the United
States District Court at Baltimore, &C.
cording to an announcement made by
Arthur E. Hungerford, Director of the
National Emergency Council for Mary
land.
The injunctions will prevent the con-
Germs from selling new cars to deal
ers in the same territory who are
"unenfranchised" dealers for resale.
The dealers involved were the An
derson Motor Company and the Park
Circle Motor Company, of Baltimore,
and Harry T. Phoebus of Princess
Anne.
The complaints cited the dealers
for selling cars for resale to dealers
who had no franchise in this territory,
which is contrary to the code.
Attorneys for the dealers appear
ed before Judge w. Calvin Chestnut
and explained that the violations had
not been intentional and would not
happen again. They consented to the
filing of the DEGREES.

SCHOOL OPENED
FOR INSPECTION
Many Visitors Accept Invitation
To Examine improvements
To The Buildings

On Friday afternoon, September IA
from 2:30 to 5 o'clock the Elementary
School was open to visitors in order
that the patrons might see what i'm
provements had been made during the
summer. There were around seventy
five visitors, yet from the large enroll
ment of pupils there could have been
many more. Parents should feel it
more their duty to take a greater in
terest in the school where their chill
dren are attending.
Those who visiter the school on Fri
day afternoon were more than pleased
with the improvements that had been
made. All the rooms have been paint
ed, some have had more windows in
stalled so that each room is provided
with plenty of lighting and ventila-
ton facilities. New sanitary toilets
have been installed in one of the build
ings, others put in first class con-
dition. Mr.. HUMPHREYS has promised
that the present drinking fountains
shall be replaced with china fountains,
inasmuch as they are much easier to
keep clean. The office is a great i'm
provement over the old one. They now
have a nice room that can be used
as an auditorium for holding entertain
ments or P. T. A. meetings. Just
now they do not have chairs in this
room but are hoping to be able in
some way by which to raise enough
money to buy chairs. The kitchen
has been changed from the old build
ing to the basement of the newer
building, which was previously used
by Miss Dix as a Domestic Science
Dept. and this kitchen and lunch room
both are very attractive and will do
honor to the ladies who so willingly
render their services in fixing hot
lunches during the winter months.
After the rooms were toured the
visitors were invited to the lunch
room and were served refreshments
by Mrs. Clarence Dryden and her COM
mittee. Mrs. Dryden is President of
the P. T. A. for the ensuing year and
in this work merits the full coopera-
ton of all patrons.
