The figures really fall to tell tho manner In which the sailor boys outplayed their opponents.

POLLOCK FOR the fourth time In his career Ted Meredith, famed ns a filer on the cinder track nnd In the nlr, will cross the Atlantic for battles on tho other side of tho water. Ted will leave this country next June nnd will be abroad for at least two years. Meredith's primary purpose In ngaln going to Hurope Is business, but he Is not leaving here for business alone. While abroad he will compete in many of the big track meets In Sweden, Nor way nnd Denmark. It was reported recently that Mere dith's last race was the Mlllrose "600," In which he lost to Dave Caldwell, the former Cornell speedster. The report proved unfounded nnd was let out through no fault of the famous I'ennsyl vanlan. Denies Retirement "It Is true that I am going abroad," said Ted yesterday, "but It Is not true that the Mlllrose race was my last. 1 In tend to keep on running this spring and get Into better condition. Then I am going abroad In Juno on business. While over there I expect to compete In Beveral meets. In fact, I have al ready written friends In Sweden In forming them of my Intention to com pete there." Meredith has a world of confidence In himself. His race in New York proved that he was not his former self; but stilt there Is a wide margin between his present ability on the track nnd that of the averago star. Ted still Is a great runner, nnd there are many laurels awaiting him this sea son abroad.
