M FALL IN PENN
4 RELAY CARNIVAL

jfor Second and Third
Places
MUCKS B I G FAVORITE
By "TED" ..IEUED1TH
Captain Penn Truck Team
The weight events, which have always
been very closely competed at tho relays,
wjll fall oft somewhat this year. Not that
tho performances will not bo up to stand
ard, but that the competition will not bo
. aB great as It has been In the last saveral
years. The distances In tho shot and
discus bid fair to bo even better than the
present records, but the real competition
will not bo for first place, but rather for
Becond and third.,
Alllo Mucks, the big Wlsconsln.-welght
man, Is the cause of this. Mucks will
outclass his field by a good margin in
the shot and discus. He Is tho national
, champion In both these ovents nnd his
,'jperformances, when he gained theso na
tional titles, better the relay records. This
iooks HKe ituiCKB wouiu set up new niixrna
' In these ovents.
Tho relay carnival record for the shot
is 48 feet 10 Vi Inches, hld by Bcatty, of
Columbia. Mucks did 48 feet 11 lnche3
at the national championships In San
Francisco. Ho also did 153 feet In tho
discus the same day, which betters tho
relay mark by 10 feet. Ho has been doing
great work with the discus, and It Is be
lieved that ho might even break the
world's record of 168 feet, hold by Dun
can, of New York. N
Ilammcr Throw
In tho hammer throw this year the
field Is all green men, none of whom
has any good distances to his credit,
moda In competition, so It Is hard to pick
any winner for this cvont. Howovor,
ther6 has been a report from Now Haven
that Drown, of Yalo, Is heaving tho ham
(mer more than ICO feet. If this Is true
wo can bo assured that Brown will -stand
tho best chance of winning, as rtone of
ttfte other entries look that good.
Most of tho men aro now In tho game
and since a hammer thrower takes years
'to develop, little Is expected this early
In tho Benson.
ii Cornell haB McCormlck. who threw
130 feet 4 Inches last Saturday ; Backman,
of Notre Damo, can do 140 feet; White,
'cfSyracusc, did 137 feet Inst year at tho
relays; Murchle, of Indiana, Is credited
with 140 feet; Norse, of Princeton, did
143 feet last year, and Mathows, of Penn
sylvania, did 130 feet last .year.
v Mathews Improves
I do not know how theso men havo
Improved over last year except In
Mathews' case, and that has been a big
improvement Matty has thrown tho
'hammer moro than 110 feet consistently
for 'the past two. weeks and has ono throw
"of ISO feet to his credit. He Is still a
little slow In his training and is Uablo
- to bo a bit radical in his work. If he
has a good day on Friday he Id very
liable to throw moro than 150 feet, for
ho has It In him.
'J. no otnor HKeiy men in the snot besides
will be Spcnrs, of Dartmouth :
of Lafayette, ; Cross, of Mlchl-
Rlchards, of Cornell; Dorlzas, of
anta; Backman, of Notro Dame,
.and Sin Claire, of Princeton.
Spears has-tho best record of theso men,
rttvvith a-puf of 47 fecMaxflCld np,j Crosi
. havo both done -46 feet, while tho rest
. 'are' air around tho 44ifoot mark;
Pificus "Entries Few
Lei Jn "10 discus thero will be few men.
-rTHls event has taken hold moro In the
West;than in the East, so we And most
jijf .tho good men aro from tho Western
college?. Mucks, of Wisconsin, and Back-
j.'nian. of Nbtro Damo, are sure to bo first
and second. Backman won this event
'last year by a throw of 138 feet. Dorlzas,
""of Pennsylvania, and Itlchards, of Cor
nell, ore entered, and will be contenders
" for third placo.
For the first time In their history, the.
relays, will have two men Jn the broad
jump with records of moro than 24 feet,
Harry Worthlngton, of Dartmouth and
national champion, has leaped 24 feet 4
' Inches) and Butler, of Dubuquo College,
- has a record of 24 feet 2 inches, which
he mado In the Western try-outs for tho
O'anamaTPacltlc exposition last summer.
C
; Worthington Favorite
It will be a battle between these two
men for first nlace. but I think Worthing-
JJluckH
Staxfleld,
jean'; Rl
YPonnsylv
f ton will win. He Is a consistent jumper
C and has been Jumping around 24 feet for
- the last three years, while Butler Just
',-icame Into prominence last year,
I This event will have several other good
men competing and should prove a won
der, Nordell, of Dartmouth, who won the
' Intercollegiate championship in 1914 with
a Jump of 22 feet 10 inches, is still In
' college, and will compete; Pogue, of II
, llnols. has leaped 23 feet 6 Inches, and
Simpson, the hurdler from Missouri, had
a 22 feet 10 inches leap to his credit when
he won the Missouri Valley Conference.
Cornell has Itlchards and Culbertson
entered, and both can do 22 feet, while
Madden, of Princeton, Is touted as a great
broad Jumper.
Pennsylvania will enter two men, Berto-
let and Jones, who are capable of doing
mora than 22 feet, but they can hardly
' be expected to win against such stars as
above-mentioned.
Tomorrow will start the ball rolling,
and everything Is In readiness for it. The
teams that will compete tomorrow are
rolling in town slowly, but'by tonight the
hotels will be crowded with teams from
East and West.

LEE MAGEE PRAISES WORK "
OP CLAUD COOPER WHOM
PAT MORAN JUST SIGNED
Declares New Philly Player Is Very Fast, a
Hard Hitter and a Brilliant Outfielder.
Champion in Form
By ORANTLAND RICE
A fellow died the other dnu.
But when he patted I never wept,
For when he lost, he'd always say',
"I would have beaten him, ecccept"
He was also a member of the "1 Orter
Have Won Easy"xClub, one of the largest
organizations In Christendom.
Lee Magee, who played side by side, as
they often put it, with young Claude
Cooper, believes Pat Moron has picked up
one of the star outfielders of the game.
"Cooper," says Magee. "has, overythtng
to make a great outfielder"; which, as
Hughey Jennings says, Is alt any out
fielder needs. "He Is n fine hitter," adds
.Leo, "a brilliant fielder and a fast man
on the bases, with a great arm." If
Texas Claude delivers as much outflcldlng

Eleven springs ago Hat Chase, tho Lot
Gatos GenlUB, Joined Clarke Griffith's
Yankees. Hal was tho game's 'Stormy
Petrel from the start. Cven as a young
ster Just starting ho kept Griff In sus
ponso for ovor two weeks by delaying his
arrival.
Since that date, 11 campaigns ago,
Chase has known the most vivid career In
tho annals of play. Always a grand ball
player, the famous IMoxican Jumping Bean
was a stationary object compared to
California Hal. Ho Jumped the Yanks
twice and tho White Sox once. Ho paint
ed with streaks and stripes of gray the
domes of Griffith, Stalllngs, Wolverton and
Chance. On at least three occasions he
was ordered to oblivion by the dope of the
game and the verdict of tho fans. But
today ho is not only back In tho big league,
but It starring with ovon greater bril
liancy and batting beyond his usual force.
ChaBe was born on Friday, February 13,
33 years ago This may account for his
orratlo temperament But thoso who be
lieve that Chaso Is about through have not
been following the box scores of tho new
campaign.

There ain't no such a score.

MAYER TO SERVE
DELIVERY UP TO
DODGER BATSMEN
Sid-Arm Slabster Is Jinx
for Brooklyn To Op
pose Pfeffer
RAlfr HAY STOP GAME
Ersklno Slayer, always a hard man for
Drooklyn to fathom, will go to tho mound
for the Phillies In the second game of the
series between tho Phillies nnd Dodgers
this afternoon, weather permitting, Mayer
Is In splendid shnpo, and If his teammates
can score a few runs for him tho Phils
aro likely to een up the scries, as the
Dodgers seldom tally moro than a pair of
runs whllo the side-arm artist Is on the
mound.
Manager Itoblnson, of tho Dodgers, Is
going to use big Jeff Pfeffer, his best
hurler, this nfternoon, and with a de
cided edge on tho Phils by virtue of the
victory over Alexander, believes that his
team tins an excellent chance to sweep
tho Berles. If tho Dodgers can turn this
trick It wilt bo tho first time since Moran
has handled tho Phils that an entire
series has beon lost.
Drooklyn mndo a great impression on
the Phils, and tho men reallzo that tho
reports from tho training camp nbout
Brooklyn's strength have not been ex
aggerated, They bellevo that tho Dodgers
might havo beon going a triflo above
their norrpat speed yesterday, but admit
that Robinson's team looks pretty good
If Pfeftor comes through with a vic
tory today, Itoblnson will havo an ex
cellent chance to take threo in a row, as
Shorrod Smith, tho star BOUthpaw, who
always has been a hard man for the
Phils to beat. Is to work the final game
of tho series.
An odd feature to yesterday's game
was Brooklyn's batting In tho sixth In
ning. Tho Dodgers failed to tally a run,
but Cheney, Myers and Daubort made
successive singles, each man hitting tho
flrsvt ball pltohcd by Aloxander. It Is a
rare occuncnco for a team to mako throe
safottcs off Alexander In succession, and
tho fact that they all wero mado on tho
first ball pitched proves etthor that tho
Nobmsknn was not at his best or tho
Dodgoru were outguessing him. Olscn
hit his homer on the first ball pitched
earlier In tho game, while Daubert
dropped a doublo In left on the first pitch
Throughout tho gamo Brooklyn was
swinging nt tho first good ball over, nover
giving Alexander a chanco to get thorn In
n hole.
Luderua' failure to sacrifice cost the
Phillies a run In tho fourth Inning. After
Paskcrt had hit his homo run, Cravath
walked. Luderus Instead of playing the
usual Philly stylo of trying to got a ono
run lead for Alexander, swung away at
tho first two pitches and finally fanned.
AVhltted followed with a clean slnglo to
conter, which would easily have scored
Cravath. Aa It was Cravath stopped at
second on Whlttcd's hit.
Everything tho Phils did yesterday
neemed to bo wrong. It waa ono of thoso
days where all the breaks went to tho
opposing team. If the Phils tried the hit
and run. It turned out afterward that a
sacrifice would have beon the best play,
while any time they watted Cheney out
ho got tho batters In a holo and when they
did not wait they woro swinging at bad
balls.
A few more victories should enable tho
Mackmen to climb into ine first division.
We have an Idea that tho Athletics havo
an excellent chance to finish In the first
division, but If they ever get Into tho
select class for oven a day thero will be
a lot of money changing hands In this
city. The pessimists hao been wagering
that the Mackmen would not get into the
first division, even f6r n, day.
It Is not to the discredit of Eddie
Burns, who has been doing splendid work
to say that BUI Klllefer Is badly missed.
Klllefcr could not do nny better than
Burns has to date, but the pitchers, par
ticularly Alexander, seem to mlas the
brilliant receiver. If Klllofer's arm falls
to round Into form the effectiveness of tho
Philly pitching staff may be Impaired
moro than the players are willing to ad
mit. Larry Cheney had a world of "stuff"
He was setting tho Phils down nt a rapid
clip, when ho suddenly lost control There
Is not another pitcher In the gnmo who
goes to pieces as quickly as Cheney does
when he gets In a holo. Roger Brnsnahan
could not understand It, and Anally be
came bo disgusted with the big sptt-baller
that he traded him to the Dodgers, al
though he was the most effective hurler
on the Cub staff. Yesterday Cheney
struck out six batters In the second, third
and fouth Innings and had two strikes on
almost every hitter up for the first flvo
sessions.

TENNIS PLAYERS MUST TRAIN
TO BE HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL
Dy WILLIAM

Ai.THOUail the weather has been un-
Aiusually long In getting into tennis
form, we have at last had enough sun
shine to make a fair beginning of the sen
son. The matches played so far have not
been of tho highest order, because the con
tinual rains havo not permitted thp courts
to get In Bhape, but It appears now that
the backbone of tho winter Is completely
fractured, and things, will begin to hum
In the lawiwiennls world.
The question which Is uppermost tn
every lenhh player's mind Is, "Will this
bo my. good year?" To him we answer,
"Tho matter rests in your own hands."
A player's progress season by senson de
pends on his loo of the gamo nnd tho
mental attitude which ho takes In his
practice nnd matches.
Let us start this season realizing this,
nnd try to decide tho best wny to Improve
our game. First, wo must agreo that

success. We must stnrt this season with
a full determination to try our hardest. )

TENN CREWS LEAVE FOR
THREE KACES AT ANNAPOLIS
Varsity, Junior and Freshmen Eights
Will Row Navy Boats Saturday
Coach Wright and his three Pennsyl
vania crews will leao for Annapolis
shortly after 2 this afternoon, where tho
Middy oarsmen will be encountered on Sat
urday. This Is the second race of tho
season for the varsity eights, and tho
oarsmen are confident of repenting their
victory of last Saturday ovor Yale In tho
big ovont, and they also expect tho Juniors
to pull over the line a winner. What the
freshmen can do Is a question, as they
havo had no races as yet, but Judging
from their practice of tho last week thoy
will surety put up a good fight.
The strength of tho Navy crows Is en
tirely unknown as yet. Last year tho
Midshipmen were represented by ono of
tho strongest Plcbo crews over turned out.
This year all of these men can bo drawn
upon tot the arslty In addition to tho
material left over from the other eights.
On pnper, therefore, tho Penn eights havo
a hard proposition ahead of them, nnd
Coach Wright Is taking no chances.

Secondly, wo must promise ourselves to
train some if wo aro going to play con
sistent tennis. Tennis, cither high-class
play or merely the average, Is a mental
and physical atraln If you are playing in
competition. To stand it you must be In
good condition.
However these few things ar to tho
mon who are playing competition, to tho
man who fs playing purely for exercise
and amusement let us urgo several things.
First play men who are better than you
are. It Is far more fun, will Improve your
game, nnd, bettovo us, It will bo much
better exercise.
To all tennis players, of nil nges nnd
all styles nnd classes of game, let ua urge
this! Play to win nt all times.
Tho man who does not play to win
loses Interest In himself, and Incidentally
loses tho respect of his opponent
