"Dartmouth cloes May 20, but tho track team will stay over for tho meet. I have several first-class men. Myers Is n i olc-vaulter, whom I expect to win. It Is only n question of time before he smashes the world's outdoor record of 13 feet 2 Inches Two weiks ago he cleared 12 ftet 0 Inches In our gm naslum. Then there Is Jordon, another vaulter, who has cleared 12 feet many times; Davis, a high-Jumper, who can do 6 feet ; Shea, u hurdler, and Murray and CJoodnow, fast riuarter-mllers. "Handicap meets are held each Sat urday In hope that some new 'finds' will make their appearance I will enter a big miuad In the Intcrcolleglates and expect to make a good showing. If Dartmouth, Cornell, Princeton or Penn can enter twenty-five or thirty average runners und Jumpers they will land the title" State Will Enter Team Although the college officially closes April 23, Penn State will be represented In the Intercolleglates. Coach Martin has several men who he Is confident will score (Ulto a few points, Including Ganxemueller, the crack sprinter, who defeated such men as Andy Ward, Brooke Brewer and Shackleton, of Cor nell, In the forty-yard Invitation race of the Meadowbrook games. In his heat Ganxemueller did the forty jards In 4 3-S seconds, which Is only a fifth of a second behind the world's Indoor record. He will compete In the 100 yard dath on Franklin Field. Among the others who are sure to compete In the titular games are Way, a broad Jumper, who has Jumped mora Ithan twenty-two feet on several' occa sions, ana jerreries, a goou nign Jumper; Demmlng, a half-mller, who won the "Dresser Thousand" on Friday night, and Iloland Grubb, a sprinter. The Meadowbrook meet was the scene of the first public appearance at many of the eastern colleges In track competition. Penn war-the only one to be represented by a. full squad and It would be unfair to the others to judge the prowess of their teams by the per formances of those In this meet, nut this, much miy be said, If Trlnceton a.. cldes to enter a fair slxe team lt will Miiilclnt- fin il nrenar.ttlous for ho irdlng u west-bound train tomorrow night With the time or departure for the training c imp less than fort-e'ght hours ttvvas. two Important cogs In the Cubs" machine arc still mlslng Orovtr Alexander. cr.icl hurler.

McGraw traded Herzog for Dojlo and Barnes. News of Herzog's. action caused some worry In the Glint camp The New York minager had planned to leave hero late today with eleven of his cham pions for Marlin, Texas, for the annual training grind It was believed, how ever, that he would allow the plajers to go without him and that he would attempt to patch , up the troubles of Herzog and the Boston club. KaulT Is Out of It Benny Kauff will not be a member of the party. Benny has been cilled byt his local board In Ohio for examina tion It Ii not expected he will be re turned to the Giants llaughton said last night that he would make no further overtures to Herzog, who has been ordertd to re port nt the Braves' training camp at Miami, but has refused to go. It Is Up to Herzog Mr. llaughton mid that the Boston club has agreed to assume Herzog's contract, which had another ear to run, und to pay him a substantial bonus. If Herzog persists In his further "un reasonable demands' and refuses to re port for training, under the exchange agreement, Doyle and Barnes will, re vert to Boston, Mr. llaughton said. aesJMMl JTiX TsVI aT -sc-i fT .' f i A Mritta J"1. to Asleep In this city, will draw a tough I V1Vot'1y'-Vf,Vhrh; Vn.M'Ji',,,!!,n t ' rnn- Cornell nd Dartmouu, . than year.
