PENN MEET DRIVES ATHLETES
TO NEW RECORDS EVERY YEAR
Schoolboys, Especially Inspired to Greater Achievement by
Great Relays Cornell Now Looks Like Winner of Inter-
collcgiatcsPenn Men Merely Hold Their Own.
Thero Is no safer suldo to measure the. progress mndo In track nntl field
athletics by the collego men and school boya of America than tho University
of Pennsylvania's annual relay races. Judged on that basis, tho standard ot
achievement this year has reached tho high-writer mark, for tho performances
recorded on Friday and Saturday were the most wonderful ever seen on an
athtetlo field In thla country, Jt was shown not only by tho scholastic, collo
Blate, intercolleglato and world records smashed, but even more by tho uni
formly fast Umo of tho grammar and preparatory school races.
That woriderful world record raco of tho University ot Pennsylvania's onc
mllo team naturally topped all tho day's performances. Thoso four young
men who woro tho red and blue Kauffman, Lockwood, Mpplncott and Mere
dith gavo a performance that Is not likely to bo equaled In a long time. They
averagod 49 seconds for each of their quarters, and two of them, Meredith
and Xilpptncott, ran their respective distances In 48 2-5 and 48 8-B seconds.
Lockwood did 49 4-C seconds nnd Knuffman 61 1-5 seconds. Had Kauffman
not been forced to run so hard tho day beforo In tho sprint medley tho chances
aro that tho team mark would havo been set oven lower than 3:18.
Itichnrds, of Cornell, Star of Meet
, Of tho other performances, tho most remarkabto was tho running high
jump of Richards, of Cornell, In which ho cleared tho bar cleanly at G feet E
Inches. Tho fact that Richards makes his Jumps without tho usual mechanical
layout employed by most Jumpers makes his performance tho more marvelous.
Ills record stood for C feet 5 Inches of natural spring.
Noxt was tho new two-mllo Intercolleglato record of 7 minutes G5 seconds
mado by Princeton In the two-mllo relay. Tho Tlgorg averaged 1 mlnuto 58
seconds for each half-mile. Herctoforo no university has ever had four men
who could averago better than 2 minutes to tho half. In tho other events,
Foss, of Cornell, and Newstetter, of Pennsylvania, divided honors In tho polo
vault. In which they tied at 12 feet 9 Inches. Of these men only Foss will
appear In tho Intercolleglato championships, for Newstetter Is a freshman. But
both havo It In them to reach or better 13 feet.
Schoolboys Make Mark in Athletics
Turning to tho schoolboys, their work was distinguished by tho fact that
Ita bo many races their teams ran In time bettor than 3 minutes 40 seconds.
This Is an average of 55 seconds for tho quarter-mllo. But thoro was hardly
a school team In tho games that did not equal or better this time, and a great
many woro under 3:85.
This great relay carnival Is really responsible for tho development ot
America's schoolboy athletes and Justifies tho compliment of tho late James
B. Sullivan, that "the Pennsylvania relay carnival has done more to build
up athletics In America than any other agency."
Most followers ot college athletics aro anxious to know what bearing tho
relay performances will havo on tho coming lntercollegiato championships to
bo held on Franklin Field May 28 and 29. Tho winners of all tho big relay
races, ns well as of tho special events, with tho exception of tho 100-yards
dash and tho 120-yards hurdles, will bo hero again and In better form than
they wero on Friday and Saturday. Tho Javelin and discus throws aro not
on tho I. C. A. A. A. A. program.
Cornell Looks Liko Winner of Intcrcollegiatcs
Saturday's events, read for their Intercollegiate meaning, point to tho fact
that Cornell is going to bo Just as strong as ever, and right now tho Ithacans
look- to have tho edge on tho Quakers, with Yale and Dartmouth dangerous.
In" Richards, Cornell probably has tho winner of the high Jump, in Foss tho
ylnner of tho pole vault, and In Hoffmiro tho winner of the two-mllo run, whilo
Spelden, Wlndnagle and Potter should gather moro points In tho mile nnd
two-mllo runs than all tho other colleges combined. Then Cornell has a likely
winner of the hammer throw in McCutcheon. This does not tako Into account
Ingersoll In tho sprints or a trio of hlgh-clas3 hurdlers. Cornell, indeed, looks
better than over.
Tho Pennsylvania men lived up to their records, but that Is all. "With tho
possible exception of Rowloy In tho broad Jump no now men wero discovered
who look llko point winners. Newstetter, tho pole vaultor, cannot compete
because he Is a freshman, and the first-year rule makes Howard Berry, winner
of tho pentathlon, Ineligible for this year. About tho happiest event from tho
Pennsylvania standpoint waa tho demonstration Captain Llpplncott gave that
be Is himself once more. It was tho first time ho had had a real outdoor test
since last year's Intercollegiate meet. Patterson Is not himself yet. but ha Is
coming.
Of tho other colleges, Tale proved unexpectedly strong in mllo runners,
and Princeton equally strong In the mllo and half-mile. The Ells have two
men In Overton and Poucher who will make troublo for Cornell's dlstanco
runners If they are properly handled. Overton, In fact, looks llko the best
mller In any of tho colleges. Princeton has In McKenzlo a mller who will glvo
Overton and the Cornell stars plenty to do, while Hayes and Moore both aro
point winners in the half-mile. , i
' v
Howard Berry Beat Jin.Thorpc's Records
Tho pentathlon, which was tho feature of Friday's games, was one of tho
most Interesting events ever staged In America. Likewise It produced In Howard
Berry a youth who Is likely to be America's leading contender for tho
pentathlon and decathlon in tho next Olympic games, if they are held. A
study of Berry's performances placed sldo by sido with those of Jim Thorpe,
who won tho pontathlon at Stockholm, mokes Berry's work stand out as
conspicuously good. In two of tho five events Berry did better than Thorpe.
These wero the 1500-metres run and the Javolln throw. It was extremely
unfortunate that a mistake was made In measuring the course for the 200-
motrea run. Instead of making it a fraction over 218 yards, it was only 198
yards. But computing Berry's tlmo for tho full distance at the rato ho
was traveling ho would havo beaten Thorpe's Stockholm record In this event
by 1-10 of a second. Thus Berry really outdid Thorpe In three of tho ftvo
events. But in the other two, the running broad Jump and the discus throw,
Berry fell down badly. Six months after tho Olympic games Thorpe was
disqualified by the A. A. U. for professionalism and his Olymphlc trophies
return. All his marks wero erased, and In the revision of points Ble. of
Norway, won tho pentathlon. Had Berry competed and dono as well as ho
aia on naay ne would havo finished in second place, Just three points
behind the ultimate wlnnerV That shows tho character of Berry's athletics
performances. He will bear watching.
Princeton Had Right to Two-mile Decision
Quite a bit of comment was heard on Saturday among those who are
unlearned In Intercollegiate rules over the decision of the Judges In giving
first place in the two-mile relay to Princeton Instead of to Chicago. McKenzlo
fell Just beforo ho reached the tape and did not atrlko tho tape at all, whilo
tha Chicago man hit the tape fairly. McKenzlo received the decision because
ho fell across the finish lino before his Chicago opponent breasted tho tape.
McKenzlo waa lucky that he pitched headlong as ho did, for he was tiring
so rapidly that if he had not fallen the Chicago runner would havo struck
tho tape first. The intercollegiate rulo Is thfit tho winner Is the man who
first strikes tho tapo or any part of whose body Btrlkes tho finish line on tho
ground. It was very much like the famous two-mllo race between McCurdy
of Pennsylvania, and Spelden, of Cornell, two years ago, when a similar head
long plunga snatched victory for Spelden from tho Quaker, who was first
to bit tho tape.
Trouncing Good for Phillies' Nerves
Tho winning streak of tho Phillies has been broken and perhaps it is well,
even though the fans would like to havo seen them go on their winning way
for some time to come. 'Winning streaks are great, particularly lata in the race,
vhen a. team needs tho games badly, but It Is a matter of doubt whether they
ore good for a ball club at this time of the year,
For one thing, the Phillies wero getting bo they could think of nothing
but the winning streak and talked nothing bat baseball all day long. When a
ball club gets In this shapo It Is certain they aro worrying too much. A club
that worries Is sure to go stale, particularly If they are going at top speed all
the time.
Had tho Phillies' streak lasted much longer It Is probable tho team would
havegone stale. When a club goes stale early In the season It usually has a
hard time getting out of Its slump.

PHILLIES NOT SERIOUS
PENNANT CONTENDERS,
SAYS BRAVES' LEADER
George Stallings Declares
He Has Been Experi
menting, But Will Set
League Afire Mitchell
Now a Scout.
George Stallings, manager of the
world's champions, does not tako tho
Phillies' spurt seriously. He pays that
Mornn has a good ball club nnd one Hint
will almost Burely land In tho first divi
sion, and possibly In second place, but as
for beating tho Braves for tho pennant,
that is out of the question, according lo
Georgo. To dato Stallings lias been ex
perimenting with joung pitchers, nnd lie
bellovea that his club could havo won
several games that have been lost had he
wanted to send his first-string men to tho
pitching hill.
Tho 21-playor limit goes Into effect on
May 1, nnd at present Stalllncs has 23
men on tho list, not counting Fred
Mitchell, his first lieutenant, llo does
not want to part with nny ot his men,
but realizes that ho must, and It Is for
this purposo ho has been experimenting.
Mitchell, who hns been given full credit
for tho wonderful work ot tho Braves'
pitching staff, will no longer nppear on
tho coaching lines, but will act ns head
scout nnd coach In tho mornings when
tho team Is In Boston.
Dick Egan has been purchased from
Brooklyn and makes It all tho harder for
Stallings to cut down. At prosont ho has
flvo outfielders. They aro Mogoe, Con
nolly, Moran, Cathor and Gilbert. Ono
of them must go, with chances favoring
Gilbert, because of Cather's hitting nnd
nblllty to play third base. Ono lnflcldcrwlll
have to go also unloss Stallings can cut
off three pitchers, and nt present that
looks llko a hard Job. Either Tradgrcssor
or Bruges' will bo rut loose, with chances
favoring the retention of Bruggy. Stall
ings likes his fighting spirit and head
work, and Intimated that Tradgressor
would go back to tho Birmingham Club
of tho Southern 1cnguo.
Eleven pitchers are on the Boston
roster at present nnd two. nnd poslbly
three, will bo released on May 1. James.
Rudolph, Tyler, Hughes, Strand, Hess nnd
Davis nre certainties, but tho latter will
not Join the team until the mlddlo of
June, when he Ib graduated from the
Harvard Law School. Aside from pitch
ing. Hess Is first substitute for Schmidt
at first base, whilo Strand Is looked upon
ns tho best pinch hitter on tho club. Ho
matin good In Friday's game, when his
single drove In the only run scored by
tho Braves.
Cochrehnn and Crutcher nppear to be
the pitchers picked to depart from tho
world's champions' ranks. Cochrchan has
shown onlv fair form In a yenr nnd a.
half, but Crutcher has pitched some ex
cellent games. The latter npparently has
everything needed to bo a star but the
stamina. Stallings Bays ho lacks tho
thickness In the back of his neck ever
to have much stamina. This Is a strange
remark, but the Braves' leader, who la
a graduate physician, Bays that this Is
a sure sign of lack of strength.
With his team working ns mapped out
above, Stallings believes that the Braves
wltl break nil records for number of
games won In tha National League. The
present recoril Is held by the Chicago
Cubs and was made In 1910, but Stall
ings says that his club will easily pass
this mark. The Giants are looked upon
as the most formidable opponent, though
George admits that the work of the
Phillies Is more than a flash and that
Moron's team might possibly keep up In
the race for three months.
