AUSTIN, Tex, April 1.-Baldish
Wilbur Greer of Michigan State
tore into brisk cross wind on a
100-yard sprint today that left him
flirting with a world record in the
feature of the Texas relays, kickoff
of the national outdoor track sea-
son.
The squat sprinter. pushed by
Freddie Wolcott of Rice Institute,
scrambled to the tape in 95 seconds,
one-tenth of a second off the world
record and the Texas relays most
priced mark.
Greer got away ahead of Wolcott,
who seemed to falter at the start,
and stayed there all the way. His
fine dash fell one-tenth of a second
short of the accepted relays mark
of 0:94 set in memorable dead
heat finish in 1885 between Ray
Neugass of Tulane and Harvey Wal
lender of Texas.
Meet Records Tumble.
New relay records were made In
the shotput, university 440-yard re-
lay, junior college mile relay, junior

Bryant, making his first exhibition

LONDON, April IA makeshift
Cambridge crew that had been
scorned and ridiculed by the ex-
perts rowed Oxford into a state of
collapse today on the Thames to
win the 9lst boat race by four
lengths in 10 minutes, 3 seconds.
After the first 100 yards it was
a procession. Cambridge bounded
ahead with a magnificent sprint at
the start, put clear daylight be-
tween the shells in the first half mile
of the ~ mile course and almost
disappeared in the fog at the finish.
Around a half a million people
saw the race, which was Cambridge's
first victory since 1886 and their
48th in the series.
Obviously upset by Cambridge's
lightning start, Oxford never got
within two lengths of the light blues
after the first mile. At the finish
only their 71-pound coxswain, Hart
Massey, was able to hold his head
up. Little Massey. son of the Ca
madam high commissioner to London
and nephew of Actor Raymond
Massey, could be seen from the
launches pressing his electric buzzer
system to urge the Oxfords on but
nobody answered.
Meanwhile, Cambridge, churning
through the water with powerful if

fresh. At the end, their American

CLEANUP TIME HERE

The time for the annual cleanup is
here. The cellar, and attic, the closets
and cubby-holes, the premises and out
buildings, the streets and alleys, the
public eyesores, and in fact the entire
community where needed.
A real spring program to beautify
everything in Oakland and Throughout
the county could be made effective #
all organizations of the different COM
munities were interested sufficiently
to perform such a service.
The Mayor and Council could con-
tinue the practice of procIaiming a
cleanup week and have trucks at the
disposal Of the citizens to haul away
the rubbish. Firemen could inspect
buildings and offer suggestions and
recommendations to make homes and
places of business less subject to the
fire hazard, boy and girl scouts could
clean up vacant lots, school children
could be given suggestions to be taken
home for a spring cleanup in every
dwelling. There could be cooperation
from the Rotary Club, lodge organ
izations, the Civic Club and others in
helping to make each community
cleanup minded. And of course all
these groups couldn't do anything if
the citizens themselves didn't bestir
themselves and contribute their share.
Once started, such a campaign
would gain momentum and every COM
munity in the county would be better
place in which to live, and better
place to have other people see and en-
joy.

LOBBYISTS
ANNAPOLIS. March % 1899.

Annapolis, March 20, 1899.
If there had only been a Maryland
Legislature in the day of shakespeare
then we would be certain that he was
thinking of our legislature when he
wrote Much Ado About Nothing"
Always, much is said about the
leadership. This section has lots of
it-and it leads it round and round.
Now that the present session of the
Maryland Legislature is in the last
few days we find the administration
leaders bringing approved legislation
down the home stretch with bang
and a steam roller behind just in
case.
| A perfect example of the type of
petty politics being played by the adj
Iministration is the deal made between
administration leaders and the C. |. o.
The little last minute get together
concerns Garrett county and the coal
mines which employ less than five
men. Heretofore the small wagon
mines were not placed under the rigid
requirements of the larger operators
and as result many miners were
able to make living by working
small mines which ordinarily would
be closed. The bill which places all
mines under state supervision was
sponsored by the C. |. o. but did not
get very far until the deal was made
with administration leaders and the
bill turned into an administration
measure. Already the bill has passed
the House urged on by the steam
roller and when it reaches the Senate
it will naturally have executive back
ing. There is, however, a chance that
it will meet its Waterloo in the SEN
ate and small operators will be al
lowed to continue in their pursuit of
/ livelihood. This bill along with many
others has been crammed down the
throats of those who saw fit to object.
Word comes to us that the State
Roads Commission will take over
"main-street" in Swanton. This action
follows the bill which takes the an
nual amount away from the COM
munity which provides for street and
sidewalk upkeep and repair.
The bill which proposed to give
Kempton a sum of money each year
for roads and streets has apparently
died in committee, at any rate it
hasn't been heard from since we last
wrote of it.
A bill which gives the county treas
urer power to borrow $4,000 in
January and February of each year
{ has been passed. This bill also pro-
vides that the treasurer may borrow
the equivalent of his unpaid taxes in
October of each year if it is neces-
