21 POINTS FOR ROSEi
The naal training camp basketball
team scored Its most notable ictory of
the season last night at League Island
when Frank Poth's aggregation defeated
Hancock, considered by many to be the
best club In the American League, by
the score of 35 to C2. The figures really
fall to tell tho manner In which the
sailor boys outplayed their opponents.
Bight here It muM. be said that a big
measure of the success of the winners
was due to the fact that they are now
being coached by the veteran Winnie
Klnkaide, who admits that h has a
fast crowd under his wing. Following
the Instructions of their coach, Poth's
crowd plajed wonderful ball and out-
scored tneir opponents irom me uciu oy

So close did Watt nnd Troslsy. the

looked to be in for a quick knockout.

With the score five games to one In

drive over the net. Tilden was caught i
a little off his balance and ho made a '
great swing for the pill. I
Fortunately for Tilden, Instead of hit-1
ting the ball Bquare, he stiuck It with
the wooden part of his racquet. As It

LEAVES U. S. NEXT JUNE
By EDWIN J. 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. With a few moro hard
