WCSai rpiIEItK is plenty of excitement in big 'rack meets, but In the majority of cases
the events ate run 01T so slowlv 'hat 'lie spectators get tired waiting for them.
Even In dual meets things drag along in such a half-heat ted manner that all
Interest Is lost before the games aie 'mlf over However, such was nol the case
yesterday. From an efllclency sliiniliint. the work of the officials could not bo
Improved upon, for each event was run off at the scheduled lime, and the tweuty
even different track and field competitions were staged with such promptness that
one would think that they hail been tehearsed for weeks. The big clock on the
gymnasium was nut needed to tell the time. All one had to do was to look at the
program, mid the event that was about to start and the time was there. It Is a
difficult thing to make up a program weeks ahead and then carry It out. It is a
lesson to other officials who have worked in meets in Philadelphia where schedules
were broken with reckless abandon.
11 takes nerve to run off events a couple of minutes apart, but It is safe to say
that no one outside of the relay olllclals
In the entire program. The bulk of the .-redlt goes to Dr. (Jeorge W. Orton,
manager of the games, who selected the lllcials and notified them of their duties
weeks ago. It was he who arranged the schedule of events and arranged the time
for each to start. His systematized methods were successful, as each man per
formed his allotted ask and there was no delay. Todav there are forty-four
events on the card, the 'first starting at 1 30 p. m. At that time the Olraid College
Band will start Its concert and the suburban high schools will face the barrier In
the opening event. At .V.30 the four-mile college relay championship will start,
thus allowing four hours to stage forty-four events, or one every five minutes.
fTlHHItK was a small crowd at 'he games yesterday, which was surpris-
- ",g when one considers the Importance of the carnival. Today, how
ever, with all of the championships on the program, it is believed that the
attendance record of last year will be broken.
Northeast High Has Chance to Break Record
THE N'ortheast High School one-mile relay team will bear watching toda.v The
quartet, which Is compos-ed of Whlttaker. Drew, Gronqulst and Itodgers. broke
the Philadelphia high chool record yesterday and have a good chance to break
the one-mile American high school mark today. With only fair competition. North
east negotiated the distance In 3 minutes 33 4-5 seconds, which Is 4 3-J seconds
lower than the American record, made by Boston English High School In 1911.
Whlttaker, who ran third for the Aichlves, had a lead of fifteen yards when he
handed the baton to IJodgers and the colored wonder Just loafed around the track.
Had he been pualucl there is no telling how fast he would have traveled. Itodgers,
by the way. Iooks like one of the best schoolboy iiiarter-mllers In the country. He
has been tin ed In 50 seconds, and ther are few who can better that mark. Today

tfgjU the most sensational events of the afternoon, It was a slow, listless affair, which
probably was due to the large number
three men faced the starter Meanlx, of
Smart, of Northwestern I'nlversity. Meanlx took the lead at the start, but kept
turning his head continually until the turn, when Smart begati to pull up on him.
The Harvard man still took unite an Interest In what his opponent was doing, and
as a result the westerner overtook him at the last hurdle and beat him out In the
print. The time was .551-5, and Smart had a chance to do at least one second
better had he started his sprint sooner.
BUT there will be no unsatisfactory hurdle races today. Bob Simpson, of
Missouri, the world's champion, Is here- and will fight it nut with
Allies, of Illinois. Hobbs. of Dartmouth, the Intercollegiate Indoor cham
pion, also is entered In the race, and there will be excitement galore when
this trio gets together.

We'll go with our (awe up tu heaven, where the course is both sporty and wide;
find those who scored true will be happy they'll drive off a golden tee,
And their swing will be perfect and snappy, and the ball will shoot out like a bee.
And no one will talk while they're putting; nor boast of tse shots he has made;
And the caddies will o be attentive, nor tell haw it should have been played.
With hrussie and maahie and putter, the ball will go straight to the cup,
And the satisfied loser will mutter, "Not so bad, for he's only one up."
They will drive from Uranus to Neptune, and mushie from Venus to Mars:

From being m member of a gtcat machine

Here uiu th leading second-basn combi
nations: Hfizog-Kletcher, New York Giants.
I'olllns-Rlsberg, Chicago White Sox.
Harry-Scott, Boston Hed Sox.
Maranville-Kvers, Boston Braves.
Young-Bush, Detroit Tigers.
Cliapinan-Wanibsgans.1. Cleveland
Indians.
ThPse foim the six strongest combina
tions around second In the major leagues.
Collins Is a star, but Itlsbeg has yet to
piove his true woith. T-e Kvers-Maran-ville
combination Is a wonder, but Johnny
Isn't lu the best physical condition of his
career.
The leading pick would rest between
llerzog-Kletcher and Barry-Scott. Either
of these Is good enough to carry on pennant
warfare.
Thess second-base combinations have al
ways featured great teams. The old Cubs
had Kvers and Tinker. The old Mackmen
had Collins and Barry. Tin. old Pirates
had Ritchie and Wagner. The old Giants
had Dahlen and Gilbert. A strong array
around second Is the best foundation possi
ble for'a Hag winner, as It Is the bulwark
of a chili's defense.
Another citizen desires to know which
ot the two Is the more valuable Fletcher,
of the Giants, or Barry, ot the Red Sox.
Comparing a fine shortstop In one league
with a fine second baseman In the other Is
u trlflo beyond our limited capacity. Both
belong to the best.
Fritz Malsel Isn't the slowest ball player
In the world. A year or two ago Frltx
led the American League In stolen bases.
But this hasn't made Fritz believe he can
outspiint Frank Gllhoolev On the other
wing. Fritz Is willing to hazard a few
kopecks or sesterces that his speeily mate
can outrun Dave Robertson, Ty Cobb, Amos
Strunk or Bert Shotten over tho 100-yard
route. Also George Slsler. Any takers?

HERZOG AND ZIM OUT
Them aro as many ifs" In baseball ns
there are on Wall street, which is saying
a forkful. In our midst Is a llrst-class A
No. 1 baseball club, which has been touted
to win the National League gonfalon with
as llltlo trouble ns Howaid Berry has In
keeping In the sporting spotlight. IF It
could get through the season without whole
sale Injuries wrecking the machinery.
That was all then- was to It. The Giants
worn just as sine of gathering the world's
series loot next fall as a team ever was.
They figured that nothing less than an
eatlhqtiako or a like catastrophe could keep
them out of It. and the liifrenuency of such
happenings led them to spend most of next
fall's iPtvlpts In ndvanre
Now look at them. With the season only
a week or two old two of their star players
aie out of the game with Injuries and one
of the two will be lucky If he gets in the
game williln a month, t'haille Ilerzog made
the mistake of trying to maltreat an offend
ing bit of chewUig gum and In the act fell
heavily on the point of his spine. The Mary
land agricultural expeit Is now hobbling
around his home town with the aid of
crutches, and no one knows just when he
will bo able to get Into a baseball suit.
Heine Zimmerman, the other scintillating
star of the Giant Inlleld, Is not so seriously
hurt, but Is out of the game for several
days as the lesult of a splko wound acci
dentally Indicted by Bancioft. Heine will
probably be buck in the action shortly, but
the fact remains that ho will lose i-cver;tl
days with the season only a few days old.
Kildiiff Is a capable young ball player and
his wotl: since Ilerzog was Injured has been
satisfactory, but lie Is not a Ilerzog by any
manner of means, l.obert, who Is being
used at third, Is rapidly slipping, and his
work Is bound to slow down the Giant Inlleld
If McGraw is forced to keep him In for any
length of time.
