Norde|| Looms
As Threat

NEWARK, N. j., March II.
Frank Nordell, lanky New York
A. c. runner, loomed as another
American Olympic threat today as
a result of his surprise victory
over Glenn Cunningham and Joe
Mangan in the 1,500-meter event
Of the Newark A. c. games last
night.
Not rated as capable Of giving
the two famous stars much COM
petition, Nordell jumped the pair
at the start of the fourth lap,
opened a 30-yard lead and then
held off the KanSan'S closing
drive to win by three full yards.
Mangan was two yards behind
Cunningham.
Both Cunningham and Mangan
apparently expected the New York
runner to fade long before he
neared the finish line, for they
made little or no effort to over
haul him when he first took the
lead. At the beginning of the last
lap they realized that Nordell was
out to win and put on plenty Of
steam, but Franks lead was too
great for them to overcome.
The time was 4:06 $40.
After coping the 5O-yard dash,
Eulace Peacock. Temple US Negro
star, came back and won the 60
yard sprint in the world record
time of 6.1 seconds.

Speaking of "mullet" fishing
most of our nearby streams in
Maryland and Virginia that are
not polluted are now shaping up
for real sport. For the uninitiated
may. we explain that the quarry
consists Of suckers, club. and Fail
fish. The bait used is garden worms
and white grubs. Use a long, light
fly rod or long casting rod and rig
your line with a number 4 or 6
hook at the end and about one
foot above clamp on lead buck
shot for a sinker. Fish down stream
and when your fish takes hold
do not strike too quickly but allow
him to get a good hold first.
Proper Fly Lures
Before approaching the subject
of pollution, let us consider lures
that will be effective the opening
day of trout season. Small fly and
spinner combinations are perhaps
the most effective. next wet or
streamer flys, then worms and
grubS, then nymphs, and last but
not least dry flys, used during the
middle Of the day. other good
early season lures are the Trout
size "Trix-oreno," "Shimmy Wig
gler," "Shinerakle," Colorado Spin
ners, and plugs. Good patterns of
dry flys for early season are Royal
Coachman," Black Gnat," Brown
Hackle," and Brown and White
Bi-visable' tied on the larger size
hooks number 8 to IL.
Pollution, like an octopus, en-
twines its filthy and deadly arms
about our health. Steps have been
taken to partially remedy the
situation but still the spectre is
among US. OF immediate concern
are the waters of Rock Creek and
the Eastern Branch. the Potomac
partially taken care of by the dis
posal plant now being erected
With a bacterial count that al
most defies figures, Rock Greek

They read:

Unsafe waters bar your child

ing. We stand at the threshold
of another season in Rock Greek
with promises of reform but con-
ditions unchanged. For 10 years,
have pointed out these condi-
tions, but still there is no wading,
no swimming. no fishing in Rock
Creek.
Would Be Fun to Men
What clean recreation awaits

Lets spend the day in Rock

Dad could show Junior how to
cast fly and what a battle that
bass or sunfish would put up in

silvery stream. However, today.
what we meant by silvery is the
appearance of the water caused
by immense quantities of sewer.

our city for more healthful spots

effort and from the health stand
point we must eradicate this
nuisance. We cannot rest until

Kramer Supreme
As Cyc|ist

Frank Kramer left a record as
cycliSt behind him when he re-
tired in 1922 that stands out as
among the greatest achievements
Of any type Of athlete in the world.
White-haired and bulging at the
waist, Frank attracts little atten-
ton nowadays. But from 1901
through 1921 he was the king of
the pine tracks, the greatest
sprinter the sport has ever had.
From 1901 through to 1915 he
won the American sprint cham
pionship without a miss. and he
won the title again in 1919 and
also in 1921. Try to think Of an.
other athlete. in any branch of
sport, who dominated his field for
such an extended period!
Started Career in 1896
Kramer was born in Evansville,
Ind, November 81, 1880, and when
a mere youngster came with his
parents to East Orange, N. j.,
where he has resided since and
where he has been police commits
sioner for the last eight years. He
started in the cycling game as an
amateur in 1895, defeating all
those who matched speed with
him; in 1898 he won the amateur
championship Of the League of
American Wheelmen and in 1899
he won the national amateur
crown.
Major Taylor, the once famed
Negro rider, national professional
champion in 1900, became inter.
eSted in Kramer after Frank had
won the amateur championship,
and persuaded him to enter the
professional ranks. Kramer took
Taylor's honors in 1901 and re-
tanned them until 1917. when he
bowed to Art Spencer. It was
thought then that he was through
but as mentioned above, he sur
priSed the SkepticS by winning
the title twice again before he
retired.
Bows to Pop Time
It was on July 10, 1922, that he
decided that Pop Time had finally
knicked him with the Scythe
Early on that day he and Ray
Eaton competed with the Spencer
brothers in a match team race
at the Newark Velodrome.
The race left him with little
strength for the sprint event
scheduled later on the days card
He was beaten by youngsters who
could not have caught him in 9
month Of Sundays when he was
in his prime. SO he faced the
truth with a smile. He figured
he could rest on his laurels. They

.Liggett, E|gin,
Gray LostB
Graduation
BY GARRETT WATERS

He hasn't started baseball
preparations yet at Tech High
School, but even now, with plans
and more plans in his mind for
the season, Coach Ed Foxley is
very much aware of the fact he
has no pitchers.
You see, the mentor lost his en-
tire staff Of hurlers following the
1885 campaign, which means he
must develop a new crop as soon
as practice commences or else find
his team Of cellar caliber in the
coming interhigh baseball series.
The trio Of absenteeS are Bill
Liggett, Jim Elgin and Happy
Gray. Liggett and Elgin did the
bulk Of the pitching last year and
turned in several capable efforts.
Loses Other Dependables
Foxley lost quite a group of
other dependables after last
seasons series. Whitley Crawford,
hard hitting outfielder, was one
while others were Donald Fones,
third sacker, Jimmy Roland, Sec
ond baSeman and Julius Singer,
outfielder. FoneS is now at
Central, having transferred to the
Mt. Pleasant institution last fall.
The mentor will be well fixed
with catchers. Whitley France
and Jimmy Wise, both of expert
ence and ability, will be around.
France, though small, was peppy
backstop in 1885 and next to Don
Dunlap, of Central, who gained
All-High, was rated one Of the
best catchers in the interhigh
series. He should wage a great
battle for a berth on the 1885
mythical team.
Foxley plans opening practice
sessions within the next week.
The condition of the Tech Stad-
ium has held up the start to date,
but as soon as the ground is hard
and dry enough, drills will start
in a big way.
But that pitching problem.
Foxley is really worried about
that. In fact, he's concentrated
on it so much that recently he's
asked every youngster making an
appearance in the Tech gym if he
could pitch. Maybe he'll find a
couple by this method soon.
Small Schedule
The Techmen will play small
schedule this year. One of the
big" games will be against the
Navy Plebes at Annapolis, April
25. Foxley is arranging his list
now and and believes he'll be
ready to announce it sometime
after practice sessions start.
Roosevelt High Schools base
ball candidates are doing the un.
usual these days. They're prsctic-
ing in track shorts until the new
uniforms for the team are ready.
With the weather so balmy,
Coach Herman Littman has al
lowed his boys to condition them
selves in this manner, making
sure all the while, to keep every
man going at fast clip in order
that colds are not contracted.
The Riders get their uniforms
next week.
