THE DAYS OF
WILL FRANK SHEA, OF PITT,
BETTER MEREDITH'S MARK
FOR QUARTER-MILE RUN?
Many Believe Smoky City Star
Is Capable of Running 440
Yards in 47 15 Seconds
By PAUL PREP
WILL Frank Shea, rhe sensational
sprinter of the University of Pitts
burgh track team, equal and even better
the present world's record for the quar
ter mile? This Is the question which is
on the tongues of the track critics and
fans all riyer the country as.a result of
the Panther captain's remarkable run
ning In the intercollegiate meet on
Kranklln Field.
The present world's record for a track
with one or more turns Is held by the
famous James E. (Ted) Meredith, the
former I'nlverslty of Pennsylvania rec
ord smasher, who now Is serving In the
United States aviation corps- over In
Italy. Two years ago at the 1. C. A. A
A. A championships In the Harvard
stadium Ted broke the record for the
quarter by dashing oer the cinders In
47 2-5 seconds.
Conditions Different
On Saturday aflernoon. at Franklin
Field. Shea won the quarter-mile dash
in the exceptionally fast time of 47 3-5
seconds. This alone would serve to give
those not present an Idea of how fast
the Pitt entry traveled nut the condi
tions under which he rn his quarter
were a great deal different from thosa
under which Meredith made his record
breaking dash In Boston.
The hot and boiling sun, which beat
down on the uncovered stands and cin
ders at Franklin Field lato Friday' after
noon and the greater part of Saturday,
tried Its best .to overcome the effects of
the downn'.;rR nf TneHav wdH&Bn..
and Thursday and the light showers of'
Friday. But the earlier Mnrt nnrt ir..
cldentally. the work of the rain entitle It
to the decision.
No Competition
The track was In fairly good condi
tion, but was slow In various places. In
addition to competing on a faster track.
Meredith had the advantage of having
some one push him to the limit for the
greater part of the race. Such was not
the case of the quarter on Saturday.
bhea went out In front at te start
and every stride carried him further to
the fore. After the first 220 yards h
ran alone fully fifteen yards In front.
He i-lowed down slightly In tho last
thirty yards whereas If he had had
some one pushing him he would have
Increased his stride and likely have es
tablished new figures.
Whether he Is capable of equaling
Ted's mark remains to be seen. Some
believe that he will equal Max Long's
record of forty-seven seconds flat for
the quarter made In 1900. This was
made on a straightaway track. It Is
expected that Shea will endeavor to
break the present record when he com
petes In the national championships cf
the Amateur Athletic Union this sum
mer. Well-Balanced Team Wins
That two or three Btars alone never
will win an Intercollegiate track and
field championship once more was
demonstrated last Friday and Saturday
when Cornell won the forty-secotjd meet
ing of the I. C. A. A. A. A. on Franklin
Field. '
Coach Jack Moakley's proteges from
tho shores .of Lake Cayuga scored a
total of 47 points, but It wasn't throujjh
the number of first places that the wear
ers of the red "C" won that they now
are known as the best track team In
the coUptry for this season.
Ivan Dresser and Felter were the only
members of the victorious team to score
first plates, the former In the two-mile
and the latter In the running broad Jump.
The other polntu were registered from
landing second, third, fourth and fifth
places. They failed to placi In two of
the runnlpg events and three, of the five
field events. But the failure to trcore
points in. these five events was more
than equaled by the winning of thirds,
fourths and fifths m the two-mile run.
the two hurdles and the running broad
Jump.
Erdman Double Winner
Another noteworthy performance was
that of Erdman, of Princeton, In win
ning both hurdles. In both races he was
left at the mark by the others and only
his stronc finish In the final twenty
yards carried him to victory over Smith,
of Cornell. It was regretted' that John
son, of Michigan, waan't present to com

FRANK SHEA
Haymond and Davis got off to a fine
start and were leading Shea by yards
at the halfway mark. In the final half,
however, Shea came through strong and
most likely would have passed Hay
mond If the race had been twenty yards
more. Davis, of Penn, ran In this race
and the century dash with a large and
painful boll on his right leg.
Ganzenmueller Twenty-nine Years Old
It Is doubtful If more than a hand
ful of the spectators at the titular
games who saw Bill Ganzenmueller, of
Penn State, win the hundred yards dash
knew how old he Is. The Penn State
caput it has passed his twenty-ninth
milestone, and is married and Is the
proud father of two children.
Ganzenmueller intends to lay aside his
p"s after the National A. A. U. cham
! pionsnips this summer. He will repre
sent the Meadowbrook Club. He will
have to go some to win, for he will be
pitted against Andy Ward, of Chicago ;
Scholz. of Missouri, who won the 100
yard dash at the Penn relays In even
time ; Drew, the famous star who la
staging a strong comeback, and Aller
Woodrlng, of Mercersburg Academy.
Ganzenmueller was pleased with his
victory on Saturday ami after the race
said "To think an old man like my
self should come down here and show
these young speeklngs how to run ! The
majority of them are under the twenty-one-year
mark, while I'm rapidly ap
proaching thirty."
Dresser May Run for Local Club
Samuel Dallas, secretary of the Mead
owbrook Club, surely is gathering to
gether a great combination of athletes
for the Junior and senior national A. A.
lT. championships. It was rumored at the
I. C. A. A. A. A. games that Ivan Dres
ser, the Intercollegiate tw'o-mlle cham
pion; Fred Davis, of Penn, who was
placed in both dashes, and Haymond,
also of Penn, who placed In the century
and won the 220-yard dash, would-wer

Jole Bay, the Illinois distance runner

ord figures of four minutes twelve and

held by Norman Taber. This Saturday
Ray will compete In a specially arranged

DRAFT RULE MAY
FREE PLAYERS
Club Owners May Be Com-
pelled to Operate Re
serve Clause i
With less than a month left before
the Government puts Into effect the new
draft rule which may force baseball
players to give up the game and take
up some essential war work, the club
owners are all topsy-turvy about what
action to take with the players' con
tracts. A condition confronts baseball
which may disrupt the entire structure
of the game. Tho club owners may be
compelled to operate the ten days' re
servo clause In the players' contracts.
thus releasing all claim to the players'
services. With all the star players of
the game free agents the players can
hold themselves aloof when they are re
leased from military service and sign
with the club bidding highest for their
services.
By releasing the players on ten days'
notice, the clubs cannct hope to hold
their men by the reserve clause, which
gives them first call on their players'
services for the following season. Base
hall men have figured the situation out
In a way which will make It possible
for the prosperous clubs to corral all
the star players when the war Is over.
This state of affairs Is the very thing
which the reservo clause has prevented
In the past and made It possible for
clubs to hold their star players.
It may be possible that some of the
richer clubs may live up to the con
tracts and pay the players for the sea
son, thus holding them for next season,
but this would necessitate a largo ex
penditure of money with no return, and
it Is doubtful If more than one or two
of the clubs could afford to do It. There
are many playSrs who have been tied
up to contracts wltlt, clubs season after
season who could command larger sala
ries with other clubs, but have been un
able to break their contracts. Nothing
would suit these players better than to
get a chance to be In a position where
half a dozen managers would be trying
to outbid one another fcr their services.

He manages Young Joe Belmontaof this
city ; Jack Itusso, the New Orleans
lightweight, and Bobby Doyle, the fast
New York bantam.
And, strange to say, all three of his
boys are matched to appear In the next
weekly show at the Penns Grove (N. J.)
Athletic Club, on Thursday evening.
Young Joe Belmont appears In the sec
ond preliminary against Tootsle Boyle,
also of this city, for four rounds. Jack
Itusso faces Ited Allen, a tough light
weight of New York, In 'a six-round con
test, in the semifinal, and Bobby Doyle
will appear in the wlndup against Her
man Hindi's star flyweight, Joe Tuber,
for a scheduled eight-round slugfest. An
other good contest Is scheduled.
Joe Christiana Is one of these boxing
men who help the game instead of hin
dering It, and If all boxers, managers
and promoters would follow the same
example of the Italian manager, that is.
open a business or a trade Instead of
earning their daly bread from thalr
boxers, the boxing game would be the
most popular sport In the country.
