it least ten yards duo to tho lntorferenco
by our men, nnd theirs.
Ilnve Done It
To show that wo can do 3.10 look at
the times our men have done In previous
' races during tho past two weeks. Kauf-
i mann did 50 1-G and Dorsoy BO 2-6 on Krl-
k day on the Medley relay, bo had these men
, done this and 1 had run 48 4-6, wo would
thave run a 3.10 mlto. This Is easy to flg-
' ure out on paper, but they can do It and
have done It, nnd that was what I was
''counting on. Thoy did not do It, due, I
think, to their getting tangled up on the
homestretch each time.
We feel that this one-mile raco is tho
biggest thing on tho program and to lose
It means a lot of disappointment. Joe
Lockwood's loss surely was felt Satur
day. Had Joo been on the team I think we
would have won without a doubt, he has
had lots of expcrlcnco In relay running
and would not liavo been caught In such
holes.
Joe's loss does not stop with the relays
either, he Is gono for tho season nnd Is
fettlng over an operation for nppendl
Cltls which was performed just In time.
Good Runner
We have lost a gbod man and I feol
that It means about eight points gone for
the Intercolleglates, not to speak of the
dual ,mets. Ho was Just about at tho
point this year when ho would have been
a great sprinter, especially In the 220
yards. I think Joe could havj won tho 220
at tho Intercolleglates this year ; as a sopho
more he was third and last year fourth
only because he was hardly strong enough
to pull through the heats. This year he
gained about five pounds and was running
Very strong.
Tommy Lonnon was kept out of the. race
on Saturday because of a strained leg,
which happened on Friday, Ho might
have pulled through all right, but we did
not want to take any chances of a bad
pull. I
pull. I djon't know how much difference
his being on tho team would have made,
maybe enough to win, but I would rather
see him In the Intercolleglates than to
have won tho raco.
Several remarkable performances were
registered on Saturday and It was not
much won,der after looking at the fields
of men and condition of tho weather.

Tale did as It was touted to do
and broke Princeton's two-mllo record
, and even equaled tho world's record for
ue distance. This was not very surpris
ing to the critics, for they all looked to
Tale to do it. They had a well-balanced
team and raVi a good, strong race.
Overton, I believe, covered tho last half
In 1:55 4-5 and could have done faster if
he had been pushed to win. .
Bob Simpson's 16 seconds flat on the
grass will not hold. Simpson knocked
down ope hurdle and the rules demand
; that all hurdles bo up In order to get a
record. 1 am sorry that he does not
i get this, -for he Is a great hurdler and
capable of doing n new record ; as a mat
ter of fact, knocking over those big hur
dles cast as a retarder rather than a
benefit to a man.
Cornell had little trouble in winning her
favorite race, tho four-mile relay, but did
not break the record, ns she was expected
to do.

BENNY LEONARD
ALL PRIMED FOR
CHARLIE THOMAS
Former Does His Training
for Freddie Welsh in
Public at Present
FINDS IT PROFITABLE
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
Benny Leonard, tho 20-year-old boxing
marvel, will try out a new assortment
of punches on Charlie Kid Thomas nt
tho Olympla tonight. Uenny is training
for a championship fuss with Freddie
Welsh and finds It quite profitable to do
his training in public. In Thomas he
will meet a tough, gamo boy who fights
hard all of the way and Is capable of
taking all kinds of punishment. Charlie
Is not expected to win tonight nnd the
boxing publlo Is not looking for It. Hut
tho cash customers will surround the
arena to take another Blant at Leonard
and mnke bets with themselves on how
long Thomas will last.
When Denny won from Johnny Dundee
and decisively walloped Welsh In 10-round
battles In N'Yawk, he stepped Into the
.iremast rank in the lightweight clnss.
Ho showed that he could put the light
weight champ to sleep If thoy ever met
over tho long routo nnd virtually was
nwarded tho title by tho newspaper men,
Slnco then ho has been knocking them
off with nmazlng regularity nnd soon
will force Jlr. Welsh to sign Up or walk
the plank.
A Favorite Here
Leonard is a great favorite In nhllndcl
phla slnco hs victories over Jimmy Mur
phy and Sam Hobldeau nnd the fans al
ways turn out to .seo him perform. The
New Yorker is one of the cleverest boxers
In the ring today, and In addition to that,
packs n knockout wallop in cither hand.
ThS knockout stuff makes the big hit,
however, and aids considerably In his
popularity.
Tho other bouts on tho card look good,
bringing together Johnny Flsso of New
Orleans, and Young Dlgglns, Tommy
Caroy and Tim Drowney, Young Al
Wlcrnert vs. Al Thum, and Frankte Clark
vs. Young Kid McCoy.
Speaking of Freddy Welsh reminds us
that a bunch of dope has leaked out of
Chicago to tho effect that Ferdinand Is
planning to retire in the near future. Ac
cording to a friend, the lightweight cham
pion has decided to step out on July 7
and spend his remaining days on the well
known farm.
Many Reverses
After his many reverses In no-declslon
bouts which netted htm many thousands
of dollars, we can not figure out how
Freddlo can give up this easy money.
He has been defeated from coast to
coast by second, third and fourth-raters,
yet bo still Is able to get matches, rer
haps AVelsh figures that the public will re
fuso to bo cheated on or after July 7.
In the meantime. Howard Carr. man
ager of Ever Hammer, who walloped the
daylight out of Freddie in Milwaukee re
cently, Is busy looking over offers for
bouts. One Chicago syndicate has offered
Welsh $15,000 to meet Hammer in a finish
fight or with 20 rounds ns the shortest
distance. When asked about this offer. It
waB discovered that Mr. Welsh was suf
fering with nn acute attack of lockjaw.
Just a minute, men Jack Hnnlon Is
on the phone. Listen:
"Got something funny today. Letter
from Kid Williams. I suppose you know
that Williams has list his manager?
Well, he also has lost his mind, or some
thing like that, judging from a letter I
received today. You know, I offered the
Kid a match with Lew Tendler or Benny
Knuffman, and Williams said he would
accept, PROVIDING he received ONLY
$3000 and the match Is at catcttwelghts.
Whaddye think of that? I'm going to
write him today and ask him If he
wants the clubhouse thrown In for good
measure,"

ESSENTIALS OF SUCCESS ON
COURTS DEFINED BY TILDEN
Keeping Eye on Ball
One of Main Things
to Keep in Mind
When Playing Lawn
Tennis
By WILLIAM T. TILDEN, 2D
fJermantown Cricket Club.
WHAT Is esscntlnl to any person who
desires to be a good tennis player?
This question Is ono which has bothered
many people. To me there nre four out
standing points.
rirnt. Love of the gnnip.
Second. Keep .vour eje on Ilia bull.
Third, 'root work. Hi relntlnn lo posi
tion nf the lincly nnd vrljtlit cnnlrot,
fourth. Court position mid Renernl
Kblp.
Theso havo been treated before, but with
the season about to upon It Is worth while
to briefly run over these points ngntn.
Tho lovo of tho game, or, In other words,
n desire to win for the salto of playing
better tennis than your opponent, Is neces
sary to any man In any sport. No one
can succeed unlets he wishes to. But In
tennis It Is even more Important.
Tho love of tho game gives a man n
certain boyancy and excitement In piny
that another man will lack. This love of
the game Is tho thing which makes ono
man a good tournament player, whllo the
lack of It Injures another man's play In
competition.
There Is n great deal of difference be
tween the player who Is out to win for
tho Joy of playing better tenuis than his
opponent, nnd tho man who is out to win
solely for tho titlo he may win, or tho
reputation ho may get Tho nrst man will
fight all the time because ho loves the
gamo for tho sako of tho fight. The other
man is apt to quit If ho sees ho Is getting
beaten. Lovo of the game will not admit
defeat until the last point Is played.
Selfish deslro to win quits once that desire
Is hopelessly gone. That explains why
this love of tho game Is .so essential to
success. Moreover, n man who plays
from pure sportsmanship tires far less
easily than ono who is playing merely be
cause he wants a personal gain. The rea
son Is, to the former to play Im relaxation
and pleasure ; to the latter It Is work.
EARLY FOOTBALL
DRILL TO START
AT PENN TODAY
Bob Folwell to Start Duties '
as Quaker Coach on
Museum Field
BIG SQUAD IS ON HAND
"Bub" Folwell makes his debut as
Penn's footbnll tutor this afternoon, when
be officially ushers In the spring football
season at Museum Field. The practice will
not bo of a strenuous nature, but will
merely serve as a menus to arouse inter
est nnd spirit wljlch Is to be the dominat
ing factor In next j ear's coaching policy.
Folwell hopes to plant a few germs
which will take root during the summer
months so that when next September nr
rlves he only will have to teach the men
football Spirit and eagerness to play
the game count heavily with Folwell In
a candidate's favor, and any man who
hopes to play on tho Quaker eleven next
fall must show these qualities.
It has been noticeable on Franklin
Field, heretofore, that some of tho tegular
varsity men took small Interest In the
dally practices Part of this was duo to
long severe scrimmages which will be
conspicuous by their absenco next fall.
Just what success such a system has met
with is apparent in the records of the
Washington and Jeffcrs-on teams during
Folwell's stay at that Institution
That, then. Is tho purpose of the short
spring practice, to familiarize the men
with Folwell's methods and to Instill
spirit Into the candidates. It Is doubtfUl
that the practice will last much over a
week, possibly two.
All of last year's line, with the excep
tion pf Ilussell and Hopkins, will be there
and will be reinforced by Dunlop. who
earned his varsity letter In the Cornell
garhe; Little, who was a tower of strength
or the scrubs last full, WIrkman, Wray,
Weetec and Captain Ilrtresvaay of last
veur's freshman team. The varsity ends,
OJrquhart and Miller, are back and Welser
nnd Dugan, of the freshmen? look good
The quarterbacks who will report are
few In number. Bell and Loucks, of the
varsity, Bryant, of the freshmen, and
Brown, a former Brown University player
who player for Brown In the Harvard
game two years ago, make up the full
quota.
Williams, Derr, Hobs. Berry and
Quigley are known quantities as half
hacks. Light, of the freshman team,
seems to be the only addition of any note
at thla ealy date.

with n course ready for use on their

Tho lockers Hre now nearly all set up,

A little blrillc In a treo over the rcno

There's tho question of Blxsomes, one

holing out a 100-ynrd mnshlo Bliot on tha
last green ngalnst Mrs. (1. S. Munnon.
One reason given by a foreman for the
slow progress mnde on tho publlo links Is
that "a lot of broken-down voters" are
sent out to do tho work, "tho city's way of
rewarding the faithful." Aged nnd feebla
many of them nre, and the day's work
Is a mean scsilon. Ono old cripple hobbles
about mournfully and a man half blind
tcnrfully pushes a heavy roller.
It waa cautiously whispered that tho
pretty gamo of politics had to be played
on tho city's links before tho other game
of golf could go forward.
Tho showing of Sidney Sharwood, lone
defender of local golf nt Lakowood, fore
casts a fine season for the young man In
his later endeavors. He has the frea
swing that labels the golfer without more
ado as nn expert. Ills constant play dur
ing the winter would seom to Indicate
that ho Is determined to have a real finger
in the pie when the championships are
staged nt Merlon In tho fall of the year.
Merlon Is Sharwood's homo club. He ln
tends to play tho tournoys hereabouts
moro than he did last year In order to
bolster up his weakness, a tendency
townrd tho well-known erratics. When he
Irons out thil rather deep wrinkle he
will be nblo to stand too to toe with any
of the invaders.
Many golfers left this city today for
Atlantic City nnd scores of others are
planning to go tomorrow nnd Wednesday
to get In some "preliminary licks" on trie
links of the Country Club of Atlantlo City
boforo tta annual spring tournament,
which begins on Thursday. Great droves
of golfers always flock to tho Atlantio
City opener, which really rings up tha
curtain both locally and in the metropoli
tan district for tho beginning of the sea
son. Most of tho crack players will con
tend. It has como to bo a contest be
tween Philadelphia and tho New York
district. Tho first day 80 players will
qualify So many entered laBt year that
only 13 holes of medal play will grace
the contestants' cards. A gold medal and
tho following cups will reward the golfers'
efforts: Governor's Cup, President's Cup,
Atlantic City Cup, NorthHoId Cup nnd
the Absecon Cup. The tourney Is open
to all members of clubs belonging to tha
U, S. G. A. and others Invited.

IN PHILADELPHIA
GET GOOD STARTS
Fast Matches on Courts
Mark First Real Good
Day'S Play-
Saturday saw the real opening of ten
nis around Philadelphia when tho Subur
ban and Trlstate Leagues got away to a
fine start.
In the Suburban League Cynwyd and
University Courts tied, each winning 7
and losing 2 matches, against Woodvale
and Wlssahlckon respectively. Belfleld
went Into the league lend by winning 8
out of fl from Stcnton. Tho tennis In the
matches played proved high class and In
teresting. ,,
In the Trlstate League Cynwyd Club,
without the services of its star player,
Wallace R Johnson, who was 111 but who
will be able to play next week ngalnst
Plymouth, Journeyed to Haddon Country
Club and won all 9 matches. At the sama
Km. Olvmntith n.,,1 TIaIHaM WprA flfhtlnO-
! It out at Morrlstown and Plymouth
saueezed out a victory by 1 point, 5 to 4.
' This means Cyuwyd's lead over Its most
I dangerous rivals is full 4 matches. Til-
den, Osborne, Martin, Hawk and l-rencn
made their first appearance for Cuywyd.
Dr. Hawk, especially, looked In great form
for so early in the year. The return to
the gome of thla veteran star strengthens
Cynwyd Club as much as any other one
player could.
Next Saturday Plymouth, with Swayno
Meigs, Irish and other stars Journeys to
Cynwyd and meets that club's strongest
combination, which will mean Johnson.
Tllden, Hawk. Osborne, Martin and Gib
bons or Beard. It will prove one of tha
most Important matches of the Benson.
