EVENING tlEDGEU I,HIL,AB"EUPHIA WEDNESDiVX lAPKIE 2tf, 10T6- PENNSYLVANIA RELAYS THIS YEAR WILL ECLIPSE ALL SIMILAR EVENTS OF THE PAST 14 H MANY WORLD'S RECORDS '4 MAY BE BROKEN THIS YEAR IN PENN RELAYS Qftfter Mile, High Jump and Other Events . Will Be Keenly Fought hy Country's W Greatest Athletes TfclK UnlVDrstty of Pennsylvania's 22a annual relay carnival, which will bo held on Franklin Field Friday and Saturday of. tlila week, will bo the greatest athletic meet over held In this country If oven a fair percentage of the famous tars entered appear. As It Is absolutely certain that nearly overy'athlcto billed t6 appear will bo on hancLand In perfect condition, It Is likely that several world's records will bo broken If weather conditions nro favorable. !Tho Intercollegiate meet Is looked upon as an event of greater Importance to , certain, number of Eastern colleges, whllo tho Western Conferenco champion hlrteppcar moro attractive to a few of tho Western Institutions, but tho l'cnn relay carnival Is really tho only track event of tho year In which tho American collegiate championships aro decided. v. Penn Relays Is Open Meet tTho Intcrcolleglato meet Is cxcluslvo to a certain extent, only members of the association being allowed to compete, and the samo Is truo of tho Western Conferenco games, but tho Penn relay carnival Is open to every collcgtato athteto In tho United States, and there nro few' who will fall to tako advantage of tho opportunity to compete against tho nation's greatest athletes. A few famous at lift tea of tho Pacific coast will not compete Otherwise tho program Includes very nthleto of famo In tho country. This carnival has always been olio of tho greatest annual colleglato athletic evciUs, but tho decision to run off tho program In two days Instead of ono, and tho addition of soveral special events to tho program, aro responsible for tho Pennsylvania meet surpassing all others In every respect. Many Events to Be Run Off Friday On Friday 27 ovents will be run off, Including tho pentathlon, special events tind tho medley relays. Tho special events will Include two ovents which have never appeared on an Intcrcolleglato program, namely, tho hop, step and Jump and throwing tho C6-pound weight. Tho medloy races and pentathlon mado such . hit with the spectators at tho 1915 games that tho committee In charge decided to broaden tho program again this year. s-j Tho one, two and four-mllo collegiate championship races will bo held Sat- ,t urd&y, along with the polo vault, shot put, broad Jump, high Jump, both hurdlo races and tho 100-yard dash. Tho American scholastic high school and prepara tory relay championships also will bo hold on tho second day. It looks very much like a lean year for Pennsylvania In tho relays. Appar ently tho lied and Blue has only thrco chances for victory. Either tho ono-mlla medley or tho one-mile colleglato championship relay should bo won by Penn, with tho possibility of a victory In both, whllo Howard Berry, Penn's truly won derful all around star, probably will repeat his victory of 1915 In. tho pentathlon. Too Many Red and Blue Specialists In recent years Penn has been pointed too much for the rolays ajid had too many specialists In events of simitar distance, with tho result that tho team was not balanced, well enough to compete with Cornell's all around stars In tho lntcr coUcglatcs. Whllo Penn has no sensational performers In tho field ovents who f sro likely to flguro prominently In tho relays, tho Red and Bluo should bo ablo to pick up many points In these events In tho I. A. A. A. meet. Every colleglato champion will compete In tho two-day meet excepting HtcKenzlo, of Princeton, who has graduated, while sovcrnl world's, American or Olympic tltleholders of various events aro Included In tho list. In any event, there is easily tho greatest field of stars competing over brought together, tho program surpassing tho famous card for tho Olympic try-outs held hero years ago. Great Quartcr'Milc Evcnla on Program Ono of tho greatest quarter mtlo races over staged will bo tho final relay of the ono mllo relay event. , If tho six wonderful quarter mllers who aro running anchor for their teams got'off closely grouped, the spectators will witness a raco which will linger a long timo in their memory. Six of the seven best quarter-mllers In tho world today will run the last quarter. Ted Meredith, Penn's captain, and thq greatest middle distance runner in tho world, will represent tho Bed and Blue, whllo Jlooro, 'of Princeton, 48 seconds; TJlsmond, of Chicago; Bingham, of Harvard, 48 3-5 seconds; Blloy, of Dartmouth, and Sholton, of Cornell, 48 4-E seconds; will battlo with tho Quaker wonder. Meredith Is in grand shape, and oxpert timers Intend to timo his quarter, believing that ho will lower tho world's record. If Penn's first threo runners'ca1SfepLwlthln 10 yards of tho loader,. " ' "iteii- in uring nome xno cnommonsmp witn, a wonderful finish. Tho absence of Lockwood, who Is illwiliYh'andicap penn greatly in this event, meaning o loss of about 8 yards, whfchlsa terrific handicap to overcome. With Lockwood Penn had nn excellent chanco to break its own world's record for tho one-mllo relay, but without him th'oJRed. and Blue has a tremendous task to beat Harvard. Another relay in which tho world's record probably will be broken Is tho 4-mlle ovent. Cornell, Michigan and Wisconsin have teams which jaro much stronger than any trio over entered In the samo meet. The Ithacans'are heavy favorites, and If Windnagle, Potter, Hoffmlro and Irish are all in shape, should bo able to lower their own world's record. Wisconsin Is tho "dark horse" In this event. Last Saturday the Badgers covered tho 4-ml!o relay in 6 seconds faster than Cornell's winning time last year. The Badgers also are "dark horses" In tho ono-mlle event, having mado a mark of 3 minutes and 23 3-5 seconds for tho distance on the same day. As a whole, the Wisconsin team Which! will compete .is remarkably strong. J , Wisconsin Strong in the Weights 1 '-Arlle Mucks, the 280-pound-gridiron star, and a coming world's champion -Jn tho weight events, will represent Wisconsin In the Bhotput, hammer throw, discus and, throwing tho 56-pound weight, and unless ho falls far below his recent marksr he is certain to score many points for the Badgers. In tho weight events; Mathews and Dorlzos, of Penn, may prove pleasant surprises to PMladelphlans, as both have been Bhowlng excellent form of -late. In all other events stars of tho first water aro entered. In the 100-yard dash every noted college sprinter will compete, and the samo Is truo of all other events. Tho broad Jump will find Worthlngton, of Dartmouth, the Intercollegiate, champion; Butler, of Dubuquo College, the American champion; Alma Blchards, of Cornell; Pogue, of Illinois, Oler. of Yale, and Bertolet, of Penn, all of whom have beaten 22 feet 6 Inches. nigh Jump to Be Keenly Fought Two of tho greatest high Jumpers of all time will compete against a strong Held In that event. They are Richards, of Cornell, who has a mark of 6 feet finches, and Oler of Yale, who has bettered Richards' mark by half an Inch. Other stars entered in this event are Johnstone, of Harvard; James, of North western; Davey, of Princeton; Fisher, of Chicago, and Lane, of Pennsylvania. Bight years ago a pole vaulter who could do 11 feet was considered a remarkable performer, but tomorrow, out of a field of 20 entries, It Is doubtful If there are more than ono or two who cannot better this mark by several Inches, while Kewstetter, of Penn, and Foss, of Cornell, have marks of 12 feet JO Inches, Other stars In this event are Culp. of Illinois; Curtis, of Syracuse; Kaydock, of Harvard, and Carey, of Princeton. It is unusual that Yale has no sensatlonalfperformer in this event, as the Ells, in the past, used to capture two of three places in this event each year at the relays. Nicholson, Missouri's wonderful hurdler, who Is expected to equal or break world's record in one of the hurdle events, will be on hand, while the entries in all other events are of the same calibre. Added to this wonderful card of special events la a program of grammar Bchool, scholastic and collegiate races of high class. It la easily the greatest program ever arranged, and the field J by far the classiest ever gathered for an athletia event. Manager Moron, of the Phillies, Insists that he has made no attempt to get "Smokey Joe" Wood, the former Red Box star, but Wood Is quoted by a New Yek scribe aa saying- that ho had received a proposition from Moran. but had seMecided whether he would go with the Phils or one of the New York teams iwWtJMUso are after him. ' Joe Byrne, the local boy who left the Brill team of the Delaware County League to Join Bridgeport, of the new Eastern League. Is playing brilliant ball Jo has been assigned to the clean-up position jn the battlo Vder, and has fulimed expectations. There never was any doubt about nvrmt'a flAiHi kui... and If ha continues to hit he should be a star In that league. " ' I KELLY AT HOME . 5- i. . &MY- " 1 ";T $e- Emo-A SEE--! KKSe7..?) T 66T UP T.

They started their season here moro than two ucc!3 before the earliest of tho maHcullne toif neys will ho enacted nnd they will wind up their season nearly a month after tlio lnnt address of tho sterner contingent to the pill that litis failed him In his hour of need. Yesterday play wna started for th' Philadelphia, Suburban anil Wnlllnford cups In the teeth of the gloomiest scenery that hns so1 far yawned for the Dickering pill. But tho fair o refused to be dis mayed. They played their matches ac cording to schedulo while their uniforms sagged sorrowfully under tho weight of sky waters and their mackintoshes swished cheerfully. The caddies were tho only ones that balked In any way nt starting off In tho rain. "Qoe," shivered one long-legged car rier, as tho rain splashed off Ills checks, "five holes 'n' a guy's wet tcr the neck After that It goes right on frough to jcr bones." Ho sank his hands In hlB pockets and drew In his neel: like a turtlo to block tho rain running down his neck. Courses Heavy Tho course was n trifle! heavy for Hpcedy going and hvo-flgure. scoring. Tho roaring water nazarus wero swelled to the brim, adding a Ilttlq moro trouble wKero none might have been. Winter rules prevailed In most of the matches. In nil more than a hundred women battled In tho storms Mrs. Francis Bradley wore three coats. Including a long rain ulster, and a pair of heavy goloshes as she strodo to the tee for her first Bervlce. "Iteally, we're Intelligent, ecn If we don't look that way," she laughed With all her etra covering, sho whacked her ball cheerfully down the middle Jim Stetson, In a oIumlnous waterproof, came mighty nigh tho flrst creek, hut her Becond put tho hole on the credit side of her card. Umps Feel for Golf Umpire Charlleltlgler, on a furlough from actions behind the batB at Shlbe Park on account of tho rain, sat in the office yesterday afternoon nnd bespoka much Interest In golf. He Is at present engaged In the collection of tools that suit his chunky frame. The raindrops spattering against the windows were the only things that kept the ball-and-strlke expert from having his links round. Ho has been bitten by the golf germ and Is almost as much a fanatic now as Hill Klem, who has become notorious for the ecstasies he can work in the gentle pur suit of golf. I Narrow Lockers By laying back Its ears and contract ing Its chest, one-full-grown golf bag might be able to squeeze Into one of the lockers out at the public links at Cobb's Creek. Two golf bags In one of the lock ers but no. Beside golf clubs thera will also be the motley garments in which the otherwise stable business man usually makes himself look more "stable" when he golfs. Superintendent of Links Hunter was discussing the matter the other day with a candidate from Frankfprd who was desirous of locker quarters "Have you any friends that are going to apply for lockers?" asked "Supe" Hunter. "Plenty," replied the golfer, "Well then, threo of them can go right Jn the same locker with you because we're going to put four In each one." The golfer reeled slightly. He thought of his trunktul of equipment, his forest of clubs. "Sltre," continued Professor Hunter, "Each man can keep his stick nnd ball In here why not?" ' "Yes, why not?" echoed tho golfer hol lowly.
