THE r STANDING OF C6NNIE MACK'S ATHLETICS THESE DAYS SEEMS TO BE STANDING STILL
EBY WILL GO AFTER

EARL EBY, l'cun's sturdy nml
stocky middUvdlntniicp runner, wll
try a TeclMerCdfth at the Intercollegiate
track and field championship next Sat
urday afternoon. xThc blowl Chicngnnu
will go after both the quarter nud half
mile tltlop.
Kby faecrt some sterling athletes
the boot In the country on this side of
the Mississippi nnd the otltcr side of
the Itpcklrs In both the 440 nnd
fifiO, and althouRli lie isr sure to picK
tip more than n few points for the Ited
and Wtie,, general opinion is ngniust
him to nln doiii races.
Ted Meredith won both crowns In
lfllfi. He repeated In .1010. Knrl Mn.vrr,
of Cornell, who nlso is in competitlou
this ear, copped the two titles last Mny.
Athletes o'f the Meredith type come once
in a generation, if that often.' 'Mayer
was lucky. He Was ngnlnst two poor
field":. He hasn't n dhnnce on Saturday
to take both events.
Two-Day Strain
Eby will go through a two-day strain.
On Friday he will have to run bents in
the 440 and 8M) nnd then on Sattirduy
m the half mile less than an hour after
the scramble over the qunrtcr-mlle Alt
trnce. The biggest obstacle In Kby's path in
the quarter will be. Frank Shea, the
Pittsburgh phenom, who in 1017 won
the intercollegiate 440 In 47. U-fi sec
nndi, one-fifth of a second slower thnn
Meredith's world's record. Shea nlso
was credited three years ngo with n
47 2-5 440 in a trial race in the S$moky
City.
Last winter Shea suffered from n
severe attack of pneumonia nnd has not
regained his form speed. The best he
bns done this yenr is 40 seconds flat.
One watch in that race caught him nt
4$ 3S. It's n rinch the winner will
hnv to do eloe to 48 3-S to beat the
field. Mayer. Is figured for third place.
He won in 1010 in 40 4-5 sccondsT
Eby's best distance, is the hnlf mile,
and even If he doesn't win the quarter
It is virtually certnlu that he will land
the title in the 880. His form in tills
event has been the best shown ,by any
of America's athletes this bcason.
Maer's Time Slow
Mayer is Kby's logical rival in the
half, but the Corncllian was trimmed
recently by the Penn youth by a good
ten yards In worse than 1 :.rM. Last
year Major had to do only 1:50 2-5
to take first place, j
I.awson Robertson, the keen nnd
capable Penn coaeii, is optimistic over
Eby's chances to win both titles.
"I feel that Ebj' hns nu excellent
chance of winning both the hnlf nnd the
quarter." said Kobby. "He's n little
fellow in height, but he's strong. No,
I won't say he's as strong as Mere
dith, but his recuperative powers arc
great."
In addition tn Mayer in the half,
three other athletes nre doped to be
close oa Eby's heels. They are A. B.
hprott, of California, who won the
tar-western title in n shade under 1 :58 ;
Harvey 'Reed, of Tale, who starred us
a schoolboy at Mercersburg, nnd Mur
ray, of Princeton, who is capable of
beating 1 :5S.

Interclub Tennis Title

By SPICK HALIj
TTNLESS the weatherman forbids, the.
1020 title in thcWomen's Inter
club Lawn Tennis League, will be won
this nfternoon either br the Merlon
Cricket Club or the Philadelphia Coun
try Clilb. The Philadelphia Cricket
Club, Inst year's champions, nrc out
of the rnce for' the first honors, al
though U is mathematically possible
for the St. Martin's players to lamT in
second place, but tho chances nre nil
agnlnst it.
The Merlon tenm Is lending in the
nice, having won eighteen matches nnd
lost but two. The Country Club Is n
cloce second with sixteen victories nnd
four defeats. The Individual matches
are the ones thnt count nud not the
team matches, otherwise the Country
Club would only have to win three out
of five today to win: but ns it stnnds,
the Bnla players must capture four out
of their five matches to displace Merlon.
Fortunntely for the sport, the two
leading teams, he Country Club nud
Merlon, meet in the finals matches ou
the clny courts nt Bala, While four out
of five mntches seems n good denl, the
Country Club baa fi verv "good chnncu
of taking them nnd winning tho crown.
The feature match of the afternoon will
be between Mrs. Gilbert A. Harvey,
No. 1 for the Country Club, nnd Miss
Ann Townsend, who plnjs first violin,
so to spenk, for the Main Liners. Mrs.
Harvey has not lost an interclub mntch
in four years, and it is not likely thnt
sue win lose todny, although Miss
Townsend Is sum to put up a good
bnttle.
It was Miss Townsend. by the wav,
who played in one of the most spec
tncular matches of the league season
when she carried Miss Molly Thayer,
of the Philadelphia Cricket. Club,
through three hard sets before the lat
ter won on the truf courts nt Haver
ford. It is possible that Miss Phyllis
Walsh, a member of the country club
tenm. will not play. She and Miss
Thayer are entered and will piny in the
annual invitation tournament of the
Pclhnm Country Club, nt Pelhnm
Manor, which begun yesterdny.
Both Miss wolsh nnd .Miss Thnyer
were trying to arrange their interclub
matches for tills morning, but it wns
not certain early today whether they
would be able to do so or not.

Corson Declares Mud Will Be
Removed in Time for Big
Rowing Events
"I am going to make every effort to
get the mud out of the Schuylkill along
Bonthouse Bow for the races Fjrlday
and Saturday nnd I tlJnk Hint the work
will be all finished bv thnt time "
This wns the statement mnde this
morning bv Chief Engineer Allan Cor
son, of the Falrmoiint Park Commission,
when nsked if conditions would be suCh
thnt. the Chllds races on Friday und
American regnttn ou Saturday could be
run off without endangering the shells
by the slips pot being in tho wnter.
"The dredge which we nro using,
snld Mr. Corson, "wns just below the
Coliimbin nveuue bridge.
"The renson thnt the dredging was
not done long before wns because there
was no appropriation for it. Last year
an appropriation wns made, but It bo
came available, so late the work could
only be begun. Then we had the Wver
cleared nut In front of the nuinmns sta
tion because that was n public necessity.
Personally I knew nothing about the
races that are to be held Frfday and
Saturday because I do not follow up
these things. The mnltcr was first
brought to my attention lost Thursday,
I made arrangements as soon ns possible
to have the work started. It has beep
very hard to get men tn work in this
bad weather. It has been cold and men
do not relish being out scraping around
In the mud in such weather ns this."
WhenMr. Corson wns told that those
interested In rpwing were very much
"peeved" over the sjtuntion he re
marked: "I don't blame them for be
ing neevcd.-becntise conditions nre cer
tainly not what they ought to be. Still
if tliej had informed me personally
two months ago all of this would have
been avoided and the work would have
been done. I think the trouble was thnt
they failed to make their wnnts known.
I don't think It was the fault of the
Park Commission."

End the conditions

M

i
"ORE than nine million tons of
ships built in American ship
yards fly the American flap-
on the high seas
i
We have put a great merchant
marine on the seas. But it cannot be
kept there under present conditions.
It cannot make America independent
of foreign shipping in getting American
goods to the markets of the world.
It cannot meet in successful competi
tion the ships of other countries which
are built more cheaply; operated more
cheaply.
It cannot cope with trade fleets-around
which other Governments have thrown
the protecting arm of preferential treat
ment and legislation.
But these conditions can be changed.
Under the operation of commercial
treaties between the United States and
other countries our merchant fleet
almost vanished from the seas.
With our hands tied by these agree
ments, we have been powerless to
take effective steps for the mainte
nance of our merchant marine.
These treaty provisions, which have
operated to throttle American ship
ping, are subject to termination.
The Senate Shipping Bill expresses
the opinion that they should be modi
fied and directs action to this end.
"When this is done we shall be in a
position to enable American ships to
hold their own in competition for our
fair share of the commerce of the world.
This is a for-America policy that
deserves the support of all good
Americans.
