In tho dual moet with Central High School yesterday afternoon, came as htg surprises to tho Crimson and Gold constituents. Blddle beat out E. Smallcy, tho crack sprinter of Central, while Van Meter showed his heels to lleniy, Doctor O'Brien's new find. However, tho Central High team had little trouble In defeating the Churchmen by the one-sided score of 61 to 21. The high school boys captured first places in nil of the other events. Robertson and Hampton, the star high, jumpers of Con trol, were tied In, that number nt a height of 5 feet 6 Inches. 0 THE MELTING POT The Central High School nrtlsts have, scored a brilliant victory In their match with tho West Phlladclphlans. Now, for tho finish of an exciting raco for tho In terscholastlc basketball championship. Wonder Why? Have you ever noted tho number of golfers who play wonderfully well, yet do not know tho rules? You probably, to your sorrow, have broached tho sub ject of rules only to be chilled to tho mar row by an Indignant stare. In other branches of sport It Is necessary to know the rules for A to Z. In golf ono finds It rather the exception than tho rule. Reports In tho city that Cy Marshall had been signed by tho Federal Leaguo are denied at tho Phillies' headquarters. Information is that tho sandy-topped twlrlcr failed to gain his demands and was turned down by the Feds. Tho Phils apparently are not In a panic over what Mr. Marshall does or does not do. Signs of Spring Golfers burnishing up rusty sticks. Tennis clubs organizing tenms. Ball players going southward. Motorboat men overhauling their craft. Amateur nines challenging. Trapshootlng Is fast becoming one of the leading American, pnstlmes. There are few branches of sport In which the number of advocates has Increased 50 per cent, a year. During the last year It was estimated that 500,000 men faced the traps. A truly wonderful Increase over the preceding year. Havana fight fans are not a bit dis cerning and a few wise Yankees are bleeding them for nil they nre worth. The first farco was ono In which America's, cleverest boxer. Young Ahem, met the Juiciest North American fight lemon, Wil lie Lewis. The second treat (?) now talked nbout Is a finish fight between Freddie WeUh nnd Battling Nelson. They might Improve the third entertainment by matching Jim Corbett nnd Jim Jeffries. It would be a well matched affair at any rate, for which the poor Cubans might be thankful. What Next? Bob Zuppke, maker of championship football teams, appeared In tho role of lec turer on art nt a recent meeting of tho Art Club of Champaign, at Urbana, III. Where, oh I where has tho Johnson fight gonet Where, oh I where can it bet With his plans cut long and his cash cut short, . Oh I where, oh I where can Jack Ourley ever hope to have the matter settledf In the Chicago courts, did we hear you sayt Aromatics, Please! Umpire Finney, of San Francisco, now enters his name of his own free will In the baseball hall of fame by declaring that he once was worth the enormous sum of 460 cents. He was behind the bat for Fort Scott at that time. The Worth of a Player Connie Mack, says that Is not enough money In the United States to buy J, Franklin Baker from tha Athletics. There Is a.whble lot of the long green species floating; about this country, but then wa always knew the Athletics never cared for It. The Windy City's beat little clalmer, Joe Welling, now declared he has discovered the occipital punch. Marty O'Toole, then, will discover tho fadeaway next season; we suppose. , Would Slow Up Motorboats t the menthly meeting of the Crescent Boat Club held last night at the Colonnade Hotel, the Question of exiesslve soeed of some of the hlgh-povverea motorboats on lru Schuylkill Ittver was a topic of discussion.
