' .Coach Roy Thomas' ball team will meet
i tie 4th Street Ball Club this afternoon 'In
a contest which will be staged on Franklin
Field at 3:30 p. m. The opponents of the
Red and Blue will not be strangers to the
oM-tlmers at the athletic field across the
Schuylkill, as Ave members of the visiting
ttern were formerly stars on the diamond
tor tho Red and Blue.
' .Coryell, Beacon, Zlegler, Fierce and
Moire, all former Pennsylvania ball play
ers, will be Included ln tho HnO-up of the
4th Streeters, and they are out to give the
present-day collegians a run for their
it money. Most of the men who compose tho
4th street team are former college stars,
I as Merrltt, the third baseman, formerly
! played for Yale; Kurtz, the catcher, Is a
former catcher for Lehigh, while Jones, the
Shortstop, .halls from Amherst; Hart, tho
'AeHtre fielder, from Lafaycte, and Ervln,
heflrst baseman, played on the, Harvard
Creshman team soveral years ago.
Coach Boy Thomas was unable to send
his Hien through a practice In preparation
for" today's game yesterday afternoon on
sceount of the rain, but this afternoon's
Workout against the downtown club should
put the ,men ln trim for Saturday's game
With Cornell, which will be placed at Ithaca,
N, Y. The same line-up, In all probability,
will be used by Coach Thomas as was sent
huagalnst Swarthmore on Monday, with
the,"exceptlon of Splelman, the pitcher. No

By TED MEREDITH
rTIHn above chart Is my cholco for the point winners ln tho lntorcollcglates on
J- Saturday, I picked this group after carefully looking over tho performances
of tho past season nnd from a talk with Lawson Robertson. Wo did not look alto
Bother at tho past records made by some of these men, but In some cases took Into
consideration tho calibre of tho men nnd what they will do in Intercollegiate com
petition. This picking puts a very different aspect on the flnnl outcome ln tho total of
points. Cornell easily Is tho winner with 39 points, Stanford is second with 2D and
Pennsylvania comes third with 21. California bentH both Hnrvard and Yale, ac
cording to this sheet. Yale hnd been tho logical second all spring, but now steps
down to sixth position, being Just beaten out by Harvard by one point.
I was very much surprised when I reached tho totals to find Princeton so low
down in tho list, but when you glnnco over this sheet It is easy to sco that tho
Tigers have been given about as much as they possibly can earn.
I gave. Smith, of Michigan, tho choice over Tcschncr In both sprints, ns ho Is
tho present champion. Also ho Is a better man to repent than Teschner nnd will
Htand the two days' work in better shnpe. O'Brien ln fourth place may be a
surprise to many, but ho was nwnrded my cholco because of his beating out Murray
last Saturday ln 10 seconds in tho Stanford-Michlgnn meet. Murray can do 10 1-6
seconds, and on beating him O'Brien becamo eligible for tho fourth place over Van
WInklo, Trcadway nnd Kaufman.
I gnve Lcnnon, of Penn. a nlace in the
220 yards on his past records. Ho has re
covered fully from his bad leg and I think
will get a place.
The 440 yards and 880 yards I gave my
self, because I won them last year and be
cause I don't think a man should over enter
a race thinking he hasn't a clinnco to win,
that Is, If ho Ih nnywhero near ns good as
his competitors. Also I have beaten all
these men, and feel that I now am ln bet
ter shape than over before.
Robertson thinks Moore will beat "Wlllcox
In tho 440, but I do not. I have met both
theso men several times, and would rather
race Moora than Wlllcox. .
Favors Windnaglc
If Overton and Wlndnagle will run both
the mile and half-mile. I think my nicking
of these events will be right. Should one of
them lay out of the half trials on Frldav,
I think that that ono will win the mile, but
with them both doing the same work I
favor Wlndnagle as the winner In tho mllo
and Overton tb beat Wlndnagle In the half.
Wlndnagle can beat Overton in the sprjnt
home In the mile should the pace be fast,
but this will take so much out of htm that
he cannot repeat and beat htm In the half.
The two-mile will see three Cornell men In
It In first, second and fourth positions. Col
ton, of Penn, will be third. He has picked
up a lot of running in the past three weeks
and should do well under 9:40.
I pick Murray for both hurdles. He Is
the national champion In both, la a
whale for work and will sail through tho
heats without any great exertion and win
the finals from his teammates from Cali
fornia. House Is a good man In the low
hurdles, but he cannot beat Murray.
women win piuce iwo men, oiurr unu
Gubb, In tho high hurdles, and Watt In the
low.
Oler Should Win
Olcr should win the high Jump. He Is
a great competitor, and slnco ho was tho
champion last year, ho agnln Is the choice.
I have glvon Rlcliardi second ptnee, but
I do not know whether ho Is In shape.
Reports from Cornell say he has been In
jured, but nothing definite is known. The
Callfornlans, Mnher and Nichols, both have
done G feet 4 Inches, but they hardly can
be expected to do that nfter such a lone
Journey. They both will do over 6 feet,
however, which will give them places.
Worthington will be tho unanimous
choice-. In the broad Jump. He is consist
ent around 24 feet In big competition. Ma
tter and Sisson both hae done 23 feet 6
Inches, so are good for second and third.
Foss and Newstctter both have done 12
feet 10 Inches In the pole Miult, but Foss
Is the more consistent ln big competition.
Curtis gets third place, due to his past
performances, nnd Hnydock nnd Buck
fourth and fifth, respectively, because of
their 12 foet C Inches vault In the Yale
Harvard meet.
If tho Westerners are going true to form
Glldersleee will win the hammer, an he
has thrown It 166 feet on the coast.
Leadbetter threw It 166 feet In tho New
England lntercollcglates, which Is better
than McConnell's 154 feet In the relays. It
Is a toss-up between Mathews and Pudrith
for tho other two placeB, but I favor Mathews.
The shotput Is a puzzle. None of these
men except Maxflcld ever has done better
than 46 feet. Maxfleld can do 47 feet when

ln good condition, but now he has a felon on
one of his right fingers which groatly handi
caps him. I have given him a place, nnd I
think ho will get ono ln splto of his Injury.
It was a hard Job picking tho thirds,
fourths nnd fifths In soma of tho events.
Tho men seem to bo so nearly equal as to
marks that you would have to know the
men In order to tell what they would do ln
competition, xne men I know I gave tho
preference, and In places whoro n Cornell
man was on a par with any other man I
gave the Cornelllan the preference
Jack Moakley always sprints a surprise
at the lntercollegtates, nnd his men como
through where tho others fall down.
It is rumored that House. Stanford, will
bo declared Ineligible at the meeting to
morrow night, but ho Is now on the com
petitive list nnd will bo unless ruled out at
the last minute.
According to tho way I have figured out
the potntmakers, tho totals will be:

GIANTS FORGOT THEIR ALIBIS
WHILE LOSING BALL GAMES;
NOW THEY HAVE MADE GOOD
By GUANTLAND RICE
The Answer
When the battle breaks aoalnst you and the crowd forgets to cheer;
When the Anvil Chorus echoes with the essence of a Jeer;
When the knockers start their panning in the knocker's nimble wav,
With a rap for all your errors and a josh upon your play
There is one quick answer ready that will nail them on the icing;
There is one reply forthcoming that will wipe away the sting;
There is one clastic come-back that will hold them, as it should
Make good.
No matter where you finish in the vilx-up or the row,
Thero are ihasg among Vie tabble who will pan you anyhow;
But the entry who i staking and delivering the stuff
Can listen to the yapping as he giggles up 'his cuff;
The loafer has no come-back and the quitter no reply
4 When the Panvil Chorus echoes, as It will, against the. sky;
But there's one quick answer ready that will tvrap them in a hood
Make good.
mHEHE la the case of a certain fan When
1 the Giants had dropped their thirteenth
game out of fifteen starts he said to us;
'This Is the worst looking- ball club McQraw
ever had. The Giants will pnisn a uir
last this season than they did a year ago."
We neither denied por affirmed the report,
having no h ot ,httt tlme where th
Giants would finish. A day or two ago tho
same fan had this t9 say: "I kn-j WW Al
lows were, all wrong about the Giants. I
knew all along that a ball ciud aDie to mi
as they can never would be down there
long" The alants had the answer. In
place of offering s. they went forth and
made good.

ENORMOUS
SACRIFICES!
SALE BEGINS TOMORROW
MORNING IN OUR TWO STORES
Only a year ago we doubled the size of
our 13th St. store and already it has
grown too small for our "rapidly growing
business.
Now we have to face the
necessity of vacating this
store in thirty days and give
it over to the builders, who
will tear it down and erect in
its place a beautiful building,
four times larger than our
present quarters.
We have only thirty days
to move out our enormous
stock. Quick action is not
only imperative, but sacrifices
on our part which no business
should be made to suffer. We
have no other way out of our
difficulty, however, and be-'
ginning tomorrow, we shall
offer our entire stock of Suits
at prices that should bring
buyers from all parts of the
city in droves. Come by all
means, for this is the greatest
bargain opportunity ever of
fered in May in Philadelphia.
