French Officers Great Baseball Rooters
ACCORDING to reports, the llrltlsh sports public is taking to baseball In
Co. a manner that promises to give tho great American same a certain
oothold In that country after tho war. The fact that the Canadians weio
iO strong for It and htartcd their cousins on tho right track by flinging
:amp games In England beforo the arrival of tho United States soldiers
nade things rlpo for an organized form of play which has resulted through
he formation of the Anglo-Amcrlc.in Rasehall League. This organization,
leaded by Arlle Latham, expects soon to bo under way doing missionary
vork throughout England.
From surface Indications In this country, however, tho Frenchman
rould appear to be more subject to baseball fovor than his Allied brother
icross the channel. The Englishman Is a phlegmatic and methodical party,
Thlle the Frenchman Is emotional, nnd tlirMlfi of tho kind that baseball
provides hit him more violently than they do his tnoro dignified neighbor.
3aseball makes a man throw up his hat and whoop, and tho Frenchman is
i better whooper-up and hat-heaver than the I'rltlshcr.
Here Is the way French oDlecrs cnthuso over tho sport as told by a.
tVashlngton scribe:
'"I am mooch decsgust wlz zee Wnltalr Johnson,' said n young lieu

imstlme to the Senators by tho narrow count of 7 to 0 the French olllccrs
ivere completely enraptured. They went Into frcnzlos of Joy as Clrinitli's
men came from behind in the eighth Inning and took tho lead. When
3hanks tore off a long three-baso smash to tho right field fence, scoring the
run that evened the score, a French captain near tho press stand seemed

MYERS WILL TRY
FOR NEW RECORD
Dartmouth's Star Pole
Vaulter to Attempt Feat
at Penn Relays
BETTER THAN WItIG H T
Mvers of Dartmouth, will undoubtedly
try for a new world's record at the re
laj carnival next week. Harry Hlllnian,
coa. h of Mvers, feels sure that his
aulter is capable of making new flcure-s.
Hlllmau coached tho present record hold
er, Mau Wright, who In laii' cleared
13 feet IM, inches, doing this tn tho I
tryout" for the Olympic team that later
went to Stockholm.
Wright was a grcaf wiultcr but Hill-
man -tales that ho thinks that Mycin i
lias nil that Wright used to hae. with !
several inches longer reach due to his
greater height. During tho winter
Myers Ills aultcil higher than 'Wright
ever did under tho same Indoor condl
t oris In practice. Myers has cleared
12 feet 8 Inches, while In a recent meet
In the Dartmouth cago lie did 111 feet C',
inches.
It Is unfortunate that Sherman
l,anders. of tho University of Pennsyl
vania team, Is not In shape to puh
Myers. Landers has tlone 12 feet 10
Inches, but a recent nttack of pneu
monia will keep him out of the games
entirely. There Is no ono else capable
of giving Myets a hard fight, though
Cross, of Michigan; I-Mcs, of the t'nl
ver.sity of the South, and ono or two
others will make him do moro than 12
feet to win. Myers will no doubt win
tho event and then raise the, bar just
over the present llguies and do his best
to clear It.
Though In but few of the other spe
cial events are new lecords expected,
still the standard of performance In all
of them will be very high Slnclalie
hhould do more than 4 feet In the
shot ; five men, led by llice, of Kansas,
have dope 0 feet or-better hi the high
jump, while several have cleared more
'than 22 feet In the broad jump.
