Nicholson permitted him to run that

He'd like to beat Haegg for Nichol-

One of these was the Junior pole

l3 feet los inches by Irv Moore of
the San Francisco Olympic Club as
he brought home one of the six
championships Californians cap
tured during the day. The other was

Along with these developments
there was more than a bit of interest

The order, along with one pre-

held this year for the benefit of the

BY WALTER McCALLUM,

CHICAGO, June 19.-The National

the merger of the Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh clubs. Barring with

Spokesmen declared there will be

Brooklyn Dodgers and the Steeler-

Chicago Cardinals, Chicago Bears,
Green Bay Packers and Detroit
Lions in the West.
The Chicago Bears and Cardinals
withdrew their applications to
merge after the league had frowned
on proposals to merge players. The
club owners agreed in principle to
permit the Bears and Cardinals to

Rice Offers First Alibi

Rice never had been known to
offer an alibi, but he came out
with a declaration that his duties
as a chief specialist in the mari
time service have prevented proper
training. They may be attempting
to warn the public not to expect
much, but the public may be ex-
cused for ignoring the excuses.
Greg has expressed genuine con-
cern over his condition because he
hasn't raced since March. Haegg
likewise may plead poor condition
for be has been training at Dart
mouth only few days after spend
ing 30 days on cattle boat making
the tedious trip from Sweden.
Haegg is recognized as the world S
greatest distant runner, though, and
Rice is the fellow who has the best
chance of beating him or, failing
that, to press him to better figures
than Gunder's present 5,000-meter
mark of 1882.
Nothing Rice ever has done at
5000 meters would indicate he could
make a contest of it against Haegg
Rice's best time for that distance
Is an unimpressive 14:334, or some
352 seconds more than Haegg' S
record. That would hint Haegg may
beat Rice by as much as $50 yards,
but it's best to ignore the hint.

Greg at Best Indoors

Rice has achieved his best times
indoors, but simply because he sell
dom has run on cinders and on
those occasions hasn't been ex-
tended. His competition chiefly has
consisted of time, but tomorrow the
thin frame of Haegg will give 'him
all the rivalry he could request.
Greg may not be able to stand the
heat if it becomes too terrific. A few
years ago at Lincoln, Nebr., he won
the 5,00O-meter championship but
collapsed Immediately afterward.
He doesn't recall the latter stages
of that race and it is understandable,
for he didn't shake off the after
effects of his collapse until more

try to think in terms Of final values.
II Jesus said, Give, and II shall be

that promise with grateful hearts. II
Jesus set forth O law Of life, For
with the same measure that yc mote
withal II shall be measured to you
again" We may mediate with pro-
fit OH that law until We have caught
some Of its deepest meanings.
It Is obvious that Jesus has given
us q law Of generosity, that he calls
