EVENING LEDG-PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MAT 27, 1915. in IMELD EVENTS OF MINOR SPRINTS AND DISTANCE EVENTS WILL DETERMINE 'Cornell and Penn the Favorites in Meet Here Tomorrow and zaturaayyuaKcrs, However, Pin Hope on Too Few Contests Upsets Expected. The pick of America's college track nnd flM athletes nre here today, trained to r jhe minute for the 40th Intercollegiate IVack and field championships, which w III ha held on Franklin Field tomorrow nnd f Saturday. From the hour the Cornell team rpMiied through the city this morning en I ntn to Atlantic City until late this "evening teams have been coming In from "all over the East. ( What team will win? This Is the ques tion that Is being earnestly debated by k schoolboys, college studouts, gray- i.B -I I ,..U - It headed aiumm, vmu muii anu mo men ,on the Flreet. The Interest Is tin- Spreccdenloa. The consensus of opinion Is that the sfteht will bo a duel between Cornell "ami Etvery year slnco 1905, when tho Ithacans won tneir nrst cnampionsnip. Cornell, ifcecauso of last year's prestige and tho iplendld work the team has been doing II spring, is tne invorne, tiui it will not require much of an upset In the distance runs or sprints to bring Penn through en top. There Is oven a chance for Har vard or Yalo to capture the big meet, but Cornell rules n slight favorite, with Ptnn a close second, Tho determining factors In h (nm H'champlonshlp are the sprints nnd tho K' distance runs. Penn Is supposedly strone fe'lri tho 100, 220, 440 and 880 yard runs, with m .ftniflll nil nnwnpflll In th.x nltM ...., ,v... - ,.-..-.- ... .v it,, , ,iu two mllo events. If Penn falls down In the SDrlnts as lost year, the OunltAm urn Insure to loso the championship, while If w3 4h,iv rnmn thrnllch nlrnncr In thA 1Y, nH.i f'KO yard events and the Princeton, Ynle and iiarvara distance stnro cut Into Cor nell's points here, tho Red and Blue would probably sweep the field. Between the two possibilities Cornell has tho better chanco to llvo up to her ronutatlon. (In tho sprints Penn Is depending upon four men to make good. They are Cap tain D. F. Llppincott, J. C. Patterson, J E. Lockwood nnd Frank Kaufman. Should theso four men come up to their oeat recoras inoy would not leave many points for outsiders, but to date not one of them has made (rood. Llnnlnrnrt nnri e Patterson are the Quakers' hope3 In the f, 100 yards. While both have done D 4-5 sec- ends In previous years, neither has beaten E, 101-5 econds this yenr. Both havo been beaten by Ingorsol!. of Cornell, who In turn has beaten Teschner, of Harvard. Llkewlso both Patterson and Inepr.qnl J' have been beaten by Smith, of Michigan. Thus If they havo not found their speed C the Quakers will bo lucky to get moro t than a third or fourth In tho century i" dash. Kaufman and Lockwood will run i In the sprints, but both nre uncertain quantities. j' Prospects are a little better for tho Red i and Blue In tho 220-yard dash. Here Llp-;- plncott, Patterson and Lockwood have flone consistent work nnd there Is n good 1 ,h,HM 4htll fill rtf t.nM m.... .-.... . miwiuu b... . u. iuci, umj Dt:ui u. Ill s' gersoll, of CorneIl Is not a 220-yard f runner, but allowance must bo made for Smith, of Michigan, Teschner and Foley, ! of Harvard, and Treadway, of Ynle. On ' form either Smith or Ingcrsoll should bo ; favorites for tho 100 yards nnd Llppln i cott, Lockwood nnd Treadway, of Yale, ' for tho 220 yards. , In the quarter mllo Ted Meredith, of Penn, Is tho favorite, as he should be. I He Is at his bost here, although he Is i lo tho world record half-mllcr. But ffevery one believes the Intercollegiate nnd ! possibly the world record will be smashed k whra he and "Wltlcox, of Harvard, nnd B.JVIIkle, of Yale, come together. Already &. tnlryear "Wlllcox has. equaled tho inter- Hi- collegiate record of IS seconds, while ? Meredith and Wllkle have ench done .UM seconds. Meredith has not been pushed and he can probably beat Long's .worm record or 4-5 seconds if neces ary Whether Meredith enn nlsn win t the. half-mile run Is debatable. He tried It last year, but nfter wlnnlncr thn nnnrtor K could get only a third In tho half. No BUSH VS. MORTON t IN CLEVELAND FRAY Sensational Youner Twirler Will Try to Blank Macks Again in Final Game. CLEVELAND, May 27. Weather per mitting, the Athletics and Indians will wind up their series this aftornoon. The Athletics have captured two straight from the Indians nnd should make It three In a row unless the horns team shows a complete reversal of form. On .what has been shown here, the Athletics re lar rrom being tho broken team that was expected. Weal fans had been countlnir on an easy time with Mack's bunch, but the return to form of the pitchers made the Athletics look like a different team. Both games werfl close nnd hnrd.fnupM. nnd the Athletics were clearly entitled to both us lories. Joe Bush Is scheduled to hurl today, nnd apposed to him will be Guy Morton, the jMnsatlonal youngster who shut out the 'Aioietics in the first game played by the Mackmen In the AVest.

Hayes of Princeton nnd Capper 0 Hnrvnrtl nnd Wlmtnnirln nr Slulilun rif Cornell, or Granger of Dartmouth, nre picked to get tho other places, Pennsylvania expects Ferguson to win the low hurdles as he did last year, and so ho should,' because he Is In better form than last year Tho Quakers hope Knufmnn, who has been running on even terms with him nil spring, can get sec ond, but there Is no certainty nbout thlB. Dartmouth has lost Braun, who wns sec ond last year, but Sheddcn, of Ynle, and Stownrt, of Princeton, nre verv fnst. Over the high hurdles tho light ought to be between Rice, of Harvard; Hammltt, of Penn State, nnd Ferguson. Rice has done the best hurdling of tho year. Should Ferguson win this event as well as the low hurdles, tho Quakors Would be dangerous. On what they have done this yenr tho order ought to be. Rico, Hammltt nnd Ferguson. The opponents of Cornell nre prnMng thnt McKonssle. of Princeton, enn lient Bpelden nnd Wlndnngle, of Cornell, In tho mile Bpelden won last year nnd seems to be the best In the fleld now. Many think that the Tiger can beat him, but from what McKenzle has done In the past ho has no more chance to win than Speldcn nnd Wlndnnglo to got first nnd second. Pouchcr, of Yale, and Brown, of tho M. I. T., and Carroll, of Michigan, are figured as the most likely men to get me oincr places. Cornell seems to be In moro dnnger In tho two-mllo than In the mllo. Here Hoffmlre and Potter, who wcro first nnd third last jear, nre counted on to win, but they will have their hands full disposing of Overton, of Yalo, and Southworth, of Harvnrd. Overton looks to have tho best chnnco of turning tho trick because he has plenty of strength and moro speed than either of the Cornell men. Should Overton nnd Southworth get first nnd second, this would be a terrible blow to Cornell. In the Held cVentB Richards, of Cornoll, tho Olympic champion, looks like a suro winner In the high jump. Ho has done 6 feet 5 Inches this year, nnd with good weather should easily bent Mofllt' Inter collegiate mark of 0 feet 3Vi Inches. Oler, of Ynlo; Johnstone, of Harvnrd, and Davy, of Princeton, ought to divide up tho next three places. In the board Jump Oler and Richards will meet again, anil ootli should beat 23 feet easily; but hero they will meet a new nntagonlst In Worthlngton, of Dartmouth, who lookB like a probable winner. Tho first throe men nro likely to beat 23 feet 6 Inches, something never before done In an Inter collegiate meet, nnd thero la a chanco that nil Ave men will clear 23 feet. R. L. Beatty, of Columbia, is likely to loan the championship In the shot-put to Whitney, of Dartmouth. Whitney has done neat ly 4S feet this year, while Beatty has not yet done 44 feet. Spears, of Dartmouth; Richards, of Cornell, Dorlzas, of Penn, and Allen, of Maine, look like point winners. Bailey, of Maine, Is picked to win the hammer throw, but he will havo to do better than he did last week In tho Now England lntercollcglates, or McCutcheon, of Cornell, nnd Murphy, of Penn, will bent him out. Tho polo vault Is a gamble all the way through. Cornell has two possibilities In Milton, Foss nnd Van Kennen; Yale two In Cartel nnd Johnstone nnd Harvard two In Grcely and Camp. Syracuse has an even chance to furnish the winner will) Curtis. Reduced to cold figures, Cornell Is a slight favorite, because the Ithacans have more certainties than their rivals. Penn relies upon too few events. It will prob ably take between 33 and 40 points to win tho meet, and under such conditions tho strongest all-around team would have the best chance. That Is another Index toward Cornell. BEST SHOTS TO APPEAR Delaware State Affair May 28 and 29 Has Attracted Big Entry. WILMINGTON, Del., May 27.-Some of the best shots In this section of the coun try are expected nt tho Delaware State shoot to be held on tho grounds of tho du Pont Ti-npshooting Club May 2S nnd 20. An unusually large number of trophies have been offered, and In addition to this the other prizes will attract many. The State championship Is also expected to bring out a considerable number of con testants, as It means something to win the State championship here, where there are so many excellent marksmen.

The Phillies muko their Inst appearance at home for a month this afternoon, with llrst place as the stake. Tho Cubs are extremely anxious to capture this game and return homo ,In first place, and Man ager Brcsnnhan has been doing much speculating In regard to his pitcher for today. He announced last night that either Jim Vaughn or Jim Lavender would fnco tno Flumes. Local fans are hoping that It is Vaughn, because left-handers nre gonernlly roughly treated by tho Phllllei. Lavender haB never been very good against tho Phillies either, so It looks pretty good for Mornn's men, unless Bresnahan switches to another twirler. Ersklno Mayer Is scheduled to twirl, nnd tho sldo-armer Is In fine shape after his long rest. Mayer had shown signs of going stale when the rain butted In nnd gnvo the Phillies four rests In six days. With Mayer In good Bhape, the Cubs will nnd runs much harder to get than they were In other Eastern cities, where Bresnahan's team has fattened Its batting nveragc. Today Is "Hughey Dougherty Day," and n percentage of the receipts from tickets sold at the various stands In town will be donated to the oldest living minstrel In tho county. Tickets sold at the grounds will net Hughey nothing, so thoso who wish to help the famous actor and fan will purchase their tickets from the downtown agents nnd members of the committee. Hughey Is a dyed-ln-wool fan, and, though his eyesight Is so poor thnt he can scarcely see tho Held, he Is out at both parks every time his physician thinks It Is advisable Just to hear the crowd cheer and to talk baseball to his neighbor. Louisiana and Shubert Draw PROVIDENCE, R. I., May 27.-In one of tho best bouts ever staged In Rhode Island, "Louisiana," of Philadelphia, and Young "Al" Shubert. of New Bedford, battled 12 rounds to a draw beforo a large crowd at the Rhndo Island Athletic Club, In Thornton, last night. From start to finish there was hot action, tho New Bed ford boy forcing the fighting through every round, and tho decision of Referee Finnell was not In accord with popular opinion, as the majority of those at the ringside believed Shubert should have been given the decision. IN INTERCOLLEGIATES Richards, of Cornell, has recorded a high jump of G feet 5 inches. Ho will bo a point winner for the Ithacans in the Franklin Field meet this week. Overton, of Yale, a great two-miler, has covered the distance in 9:35. MRS. BARLOW WINS WAY TO THE FINALS AT ST. MARTIN'S TODAY Defeats Mrs. C. H. Van derbeck on 18th Hie After Thrilling Match Miss Davis Also Captures Semifinal Event. ST. MARTIN'S, Pa., May 27. After a most thrilling match tday, that was not decided until the 18th hole was played, Mrs. Ronald H. Barlow, of tho Morion Cricket Club, defeated Mrs. C. H. Vnn derbeck, Philadelphia Cricket Club, In the semifinal round of tho women's Indi vidual golf championship of Philadelphia, played over the latter's home course at St. Martin's. The final tomorrow will be contested by Mrs, Barlow nnd Miss Catlierlno Davis, the youthful Philadelphia Cricket Club player, who today defeated Miss Folrenco McNeely, of Merlon, 4 up and 3 to play. Savo for one or two miserable holes on the critical homeward Journey, when both players were exceedingly nervous nnd over-anxious, the match was of the most brilliant description. Tho only times that Mrs. Barlow was up until the nlsh were when she won the first hole, only to lose the second, and won the fourth only to loso the fifth. Two other holes going out were spilt, and they turned for home even In holes and Btrokes, The home player should have won the Hth green, for Mrs. Barlow missed her drive and flubbed her approach, The for mer's second was against the boundary and forced her to take a straight iron and play across. Even so, she should at least have halved the hole, but she ap proached weakly and lost It. Quick to follow up this advantage, Htb. Barlow got another three on tho 15th and once again they were even. Both played over cautiously to the 15th, but Mrs. Vender beck less so than her opponent, and sha finally ran down a good-sized putt for a six and a win. Much the same state of affairs prevailed on the 17th, only re versed. Mrs. Barlow'B putt for the hole reached the cup, hesitated an Instant on the Up and then dropped In.

Davis, of Piping Rock, and Miss Lillian B. Hyde, of South Shore, holder of the title, will meet In the decisive match to morrow for the metropolitan champion ship, on the links of the Sleepy Hollow Country Club. Both won their semifinal matches today without difficulty. Miss Hyde defeated Mrs. II. Reeve) Stockton, of Plalnfleld, by 6 up and S to play, while Mrs. Davis beat Mrs. William J. Faith, of Wykngyl, by 7 and 5. Neither of the matches were over In doubt. The champion took the first and third holes through her superior long game, nnd bcrame 3 up at the fifth, when she laid hor opponent hnlf a stymie, which could not be negotiated, The long game told onco more nt the sixth, and Miss Hydo stood 4 up there. On the seventh both played Indifferently. Mrs. Stockton had n putt for a half In 7, but her ball hit her opponent's and carromed It Into tho hole, giving Miss Hyde tho holo nnd making her 6 up. Running down a 16-foot putt won the eighth for Mrs. Stockton In n. par 4 to 5, and sho nlso took tho ninth when Miss Hyde needed 3 putts, thus Miss Hyde was 0 up at the turn. Sho won the next three holes, and a half in four and the 13th loft tho champion still In tho running for the title. Miss Hyde's most brilliant shot of the day was her mldlron second on the 11th. It was fully 160 yards and the ball came to rest within two feet of the pin. Par from tho hole Is 4 and she recorded a 3.

The North and South runner-up developed a knack of stopping Into her teo shots and she had the fault of look ing up to a marked degree. Mrs. Davis started to run away with tho match, for she took the first six holes hand running. Practically all of them were lost to the Wykngyl woman through poor putting. Tho first hole Mrs. Faith won was the seventh, where the Piping Rock repre sentative twice laid herself a stymie. She annexed tho ninth, however, whllo Mrs. Faith, her fighting blood up, took tho tenth, helped by a line approach.
