Bosy, At FrjaiiMu. Field
Franklln'Fleld yesterday aternoon.and
asa.matter of fact all day, had the ap
pearance of warming up days just pre
vious to the relays Instead of ten days
before the big carnival. With Harvard,
Pennsylvania and) the French teams
working out the field took on the aspect
of a real relay day. Coach Bingham,
of the Crimson, had his athletes work
ing out both morning and afternoon.
Peon's big squad was out In full force
after 'S o'clock while the Frenchmen led
by their coach. DeLeliva, scurried
around (hea track for over an hour during
the p. m. '
Coach' Bingham, of the Harvard
team, a star half mtler In his day, which
was mtt so long ago, is giving his team
all kinds of work. The cold and rainy
weather np in New Kngland for the past
while back kept his athletes Indoors most
of the time and slowed up their natural
spring development. The result was a
lark of work' and an absolute need for
it -now, only ten days before the relays.
Frt-Brh Runner Oat
- Coach, DeLeliva, of the French team,
had his quintet of speedsters out in
the afternoon 'for a shorter drill than
en Tuesday. "My men are rounding
to form. more rapidly than I expected,
aald the former poliu this morning.
"I ,was very much interested fn
watching the Pennsylvania and the
Harvard athletes work oul yesterday
afternoon. Their stride Is much dif
ferent than ours. They also run dif
ferent. However, I do not think that
their war Of running is any faster than
bunt. .When we get our new track
shoes and have them worn sufficiently I
intend to have the men run for time.
Then you shall see that the French
boys have very much speed," ion
eluded the coach as he started for

Ban Johnson Suggests Observance
by American League Clubs
Chicago, April 21. Ban Johnson,
president of the American League, to
day sent a letter to alf club presidents
asking them to assist in the observance
of National Hospital Day, May 12.
"The purpose of this event is to
better inform the public of the real scope
of hospital service with the thought of
better equipment and united effort for
the care of the men who made such
great sacrifices on the battlefields of
Europe," the letter said. "It has been
suggested that the four western parka
be appropriately decorated, that the flag
be raised before each game and that nil
soldiers an,d snllors from the national
hospitals be n-corded free admission. I
would urge that you lend your beat
enorcs io commemorate tne day."

far as the 2000 Guineas and 1000
Guineas stakes are concerned. Both
races will be run at New market on Fri

As soon as Shane had found bis
bearings In the ned and Black school he
made his way to the gymnasium' to look
up the coaches of the different teams.
He wanted a few pointers on all lines
of sport, and the gymnasium was the
beat place to get them. Joe's first ques
tion to each coach, as he met them,
was, "Am I ellglole for the team?"
After asking few questions on his
own account the coach would invaria

freshman teams, but that Is all."
With this knowledge, Shane set out
to mske a rep for himself in the yearling
world. This he did. He made virtuall)
