They arc tho pick of tho Blue's track siund. Conch .Mack believes thoy will win ,the championship. Ho goes further. Ho KNOWS they will win. Coach Moak ley also landed today with his Cornell squad men for every ovont. Coach Moawey believes his men will win. Ho rocs further. He KNOWS they will win. Tile only reason either can think of why his team shouldn't win Is Cornell, on me one hand, and Yale on tho other. Another reason Is Dear Old t'onn. Othor reasons aro Harvard, Princeton, Syracuse, Ilrown, State, M. I. T., and a few other cf our most prominent Institutions of athletes. Hut for these reasons tho moot would not be necessary. It is the first birr track cnrnivnl of colleges that has been held In Philadelphia slnco last April. It will ho ono of tho biggest Indoor events of a big Indoor season. Ilccords will fall. The boards of tho saucer track will creak to tho straining of human tendons earnestly necking to bo the (lrst to breast tho yarn at tho finish. Droves of fans will pile into the bleachers nil r around. Thero will bo much crying out and volleyn of ylpplng Incitement will hover overhead. It will bo a lenso time for nil. Penn, as tho Homo 'iiiard, will fight off tho invaders, but on the records and oxer tho nddlng-marhlnc rnutfs before tho battle, Yalo's team seems to have tho percentage corner. Here We Have the Dope VKTlTll threo of the winning sprinting team of last enr back In Tredway, Stewart " and Berg and two very fast sophomores to call on in WlllWms nnd Dc Cei nnt, Talo counts on retaining tho honors In the sprint teloy. Al. I. T. looks like tho next best team with O'Hara and Lommls as their stars. These two men nio vey fast, especially over, tho fifty-yard route. Yale got only third tnlarn luht ycur In tho hurdles, but with all four of last year's hurdlers buck and a new star In Hodman, Coach Mack feels sure that they will move to the frnt In this rvent to night. Cornell, Inst year's winner, has lost three of her mwi and looks rather weak, though rumor has It that tho Cornell hurdlers will be tho sttrprlso of tho night. State, the second placo winner last year, has lost threo of her then and cannot oven get out a team this year. Princeton looks like the dark horse In this event, with two very good new men In Krdmnn and Cory. Krdmnn won nil his starts as n freshman last year, while Cory Is eligible for tho first time to repre sent Princeton. When at Hill School Cory won nil the scholastic hurdlo rnces very easily, covering the high sticks In IS 4-5 seconds and tho low In 23 seconds. Coach Fltzpatrick thinks ho will bo tho hurdler of tho year. If ho really is ns good ns his reputation harf him, Princeton may win this event, though Yale's veteran quartet looks llko tho winner. Yalo Is also counted on to repeat its last season's victory In tho six-lap rare, OH Overton, Itolfo and Walker ran Inst season. In Ireland It has n very good fourth man and tho Yale men state that tho team will win and make n now record. Yalo Will also bo In tho shot-put, the high Jump and the polo vault. In all of which It has a very good chanco for victory. In these three events It will find both Pennsylvania nnd Cornell strong In tho high Jump and tho pele vault. Pennsylvania has very good chances In these two cents, but it Is really an even chnnco for these threo teams In this pair of events. SOME very high-class competition will bo seen, especially In the polo vault, as In this event Cornell, Pennsylvania and Yalo havo about all the twelve-foot vaulters In college this year. In tho shot-put Cornell has a veteran team and should win, but Yale has a good quartet and may win the meet in this event. Cornell Has a Fine Chance in Every Event COUNELL will have a team In each race. In every event, except the two or tho three-lap relay race, Cornell will bo fighting for tho lead. Even Coach Moakley cannot find a 'sufficiently largo number of men to put first-class teams in both of these races. Moakley will probably put his best men In tho two-lap race, as Acheson, Bartsch, Crim nnd Sheltou nro well suited to this distance and they Will be heard to beat. fThls race Is short and there will be n record entry In It. Iteferce KIrby will, no doubt, havo to call for heats In this event, ns It will be Impossible to run a big field Indoors In such a short race. It should be one of tho most exciting events of tho night, with vlrtunlly all the fastest sprinters and ctuarter-mllcr in college on one or tho other team. Crim nnd Shclton, of Cornell; Moore, o'f Princeton; Scudder and Linon, of Pennsylvania; Pollard, Brown's great colored runner, and Teschner nnd AVHcox, of Harvard, aro known all over the country. Any ono of these men can beat fifty seconds for tho quarter, so that eome real class will be seen in this race. . Cornell will probably be weak in the three-lap race, but In every other event the Ithaca athletes will be to tho front. Richards will compete In all the field vents with tho exception of the polo vault, and his mates state that he will score fifteen points. Wlndnagle, the mile champion, will run in the six-lap race, where he will meet Overton, Yalo's flyer. "Windy' will also compete in tho medley relay, which event Cornell counts on winning this season. Conch Moakley will not let a bet go by, for Yalo Is very strong, while the other colleges will be strong lit spots. It will take all tho team strength that Cornell can rroduce to beat out Yale, as the Ells havo a great aggregation this season. Senators Will No Longer "Come North" to Train THOSE who direct the destinies of the Washington Senators have nt last seen the light, and the baseball men of Clarke Griffith are doing their spring training In a, climate which is touted, nt least by the natives thereof, ns springlike. For a number of years the Senators havo spent tho training season dodging snowdrops at Charlottesville, Va., but their genial leader has herded them to Augusta, Ga., for the purpose of Ironing tho winter kinks out of their various anatomies. As a , resultlof this wise move, the Washington team may get away to n good start when the season opens, something it has not done for many years not because of ,ny inherent weakness, but for the very good reason that it was unprepared. In the past the lot of the Washington players nt this season or the year has been .dreary Indeed. There was no southern Jaunt each year to tho land of sun- shine and flowers. Nothing like It. When the word camo to gather for the practice stuff the Senators who make their homo in Washington simply hopped a trolley and "went South." 'A large number never bad a chanco to "go South" at nil; instead, they "came North" to Charlottesville and shivered for an entlro month. Furthermore, tho officials of the Washington club wero wont to quarter their-hirelings in a largo house on College Hill nnd to sentence them to" mix with each other for four or Ave long weeks. As a result of being cooped up like an overgrown family, the players got so sick and tired of each other that they actually started to act like a family. Quarrels wero frequent nnd serious. When the time came to get aboard the trolley for Washington tho Senators were ns amiable as a flock of bulldogs. When tho other teams camo around tho men of Griffith wero so relieved that they fell on their necks and absolutely refused to beat them; and It was not until late June or early July that they recovered auffl clently. to play regular baseball. They Are Actually in the South THIS year all is changed. The Senators are SOUTH. They are in Augusta, Ga., where the robins sing and the grass grows green. No more will they havo to get out every cold morning, shovel the snow from the baseball field nnd squabble every bleak night about the number of tons each man hauled during the day. Now they stop at a regular hotel, with a lobby and everything. Instead of spend lnB their time manipulating a snow scoop they are dallyjng with the elusive phere and ash bludgeon. Instead of a battle every night, there Is n fanning bee, four poker games and all the rest of It. Bill Donovanfof the Yankees, Spins This One "XHE WERE playing In a dink town In tho Soujh years ago when I 'was in the 'National League.

The abandonment of competitive i-port In America, would depend entirely upon the extent to which this country becainp en meshed In tho general fusillade. If there should be a call for an army, tho bulk of all competitive sport would soon flutter to the discard, for the time at least. Sport as a War Trainer The general athletic training this country has received In recent years from Its base ball,1 football, golf, tennis, track nthletlcs, etc may not bo of any value when It comes to the manual of arms or marksmanship. Hut for all that, tt will bo of tremendous value toward one of the main needs of mili tary life and that Is stamina, the physical ability to stand long marches, etc. And sport, too, has Its part In developing confidence, alertness and the keenness or coolness that comes from competition.

JAFFE FAMH and fortuno havo been found in this country by many boxers of foreign birth, but Les Darcy, tho "slacker," evi dently is to be slighted, so much so that he will be lucky to appear In public bouts. Governor Whitman nnd the New York State Boxing Commission have taken their stand to bar. Darcy from tho ring In Nev York State and he will have to hie himself to the western part of the country, where also he may be greeted with the same spirit. The Australian turned down many offers to corral thousands of dollars for a few bouts shortly after his arrival In this coun try but the great publicity given Darcy has hurt him rather than helped him. Now it is apparent that Lea will be begging pro moters for matches instead of promoters begging Darcy to box. Harking as far back as the days of Jem Mace, there stand out many men from other rllmes who In vaded the United States and not only Col leoted a lot of American dollars, but also nlaced their names big on the pugilistic calendar.

Itellef twlrlers wero un heard ot In those days, except In case of serious injury, and the man In the box had to take his medicine. "Alexander worked In forty-eight games, hut worked In parts of some games only. His record shows 38! Innings, which means about forty-three full games." " The late A. CI. Spalding complied a rec ord back In tho seventies that will stand for some time to ccme. In five consecu tive years he pitched 290 games, or an average of fifty-eight per season.
