MAXWELL The air of expectancy, hustle and bustle that clung around Franklin Field today Is seldom discernible except on the morning of a great football battle. The reason for this atmospheric tensensess was tho twenty-seventr annual relay championships, conducted by tho Uni versity of, Pennsylvania. When the flrBt of theso games were held in 1895. shortly after thfr opening of Franklin Field, there were only n dozen colleges represented and these had comparatively fow representatives. Today tliero were over 8000 athletes on edge awaiting tho opening gun of the grMt two-dny track and field meet. The first event began at 2 p. m. and the threatening weather did not dampen either the contestant's or the spectators' enthusiasm. From a mere local track meet, tbe Pennsylvania relays have, expunded Into the greatest athletic events In the world, excluding tho Olympic games. It also is safe to say that tbe meet which be gan thin afternoon and ends at dusk to morrow will be the biggest and ilnest trark and Held clash ever held in the United States, not even excepting the Olympic held at St. Louis In 1004. The flower of America's boundless athletic flock has been carefnllv selected and trained by hundreds of coaches with the Penpsylvanlu relays' as their goal. American, collegiate and world's records are likely to fall in more than one event before the spirited carnival Is over. With the best array of talent from every section of the United States it is not surprising that the experts believe athletic history will be made within tho next thirty hours. The Big Event With so many champions nnd con tenders in tho scores of events, it Is not nn cftHv matter to nick out tboso which will be most keenly contested, but It is safe to say. that the one-mile relay championship of Amcrlcn for the Mike Murphy challenge cup U the one which Is attracting the greattst public inter est. This Is due first to the fact that this event is considered the biggest by tho coaches nnd consequently will have the best fleld In America, nnd secondly because the cream of the French run ners ore entered. This is not the first time the relays have had a decidedly International flavor, but It is the first time that ath i..ta imva nmnnptpil In a track and ueld meeting in this country wearing the Tricolor.

E Tears Stroam Down Bride's Cheeks After 3 Transfusions Fail to Save Thomas Hall REFUSED TO LEAVE BEDSIDE Though Thomas Hall, hero of ihe Fifth Marines, lost his long fight with death, ho won a bride, and wheo he closed his eyes in Mt.

The two wero married yesterday aft ernoon, and the young bbride, soon to bn a widow, refused to leave bis side until the end. The young hero of Bclleau Wood was only twenty-three years old. He lived with his stepfather, Orville C. Adams, himself an army veteran and an in structor of "Devil Dogs" during the war. at 1223 South Philip street. Hall had been a hospital patient in various Institutions since he was gassed during the wnr. Thl most famous sur geons in the country hod tried to save his life, but he wbh suffering from some mysterious effect of poison gas which drained his blood and sapped his vitality. Three Blood Transfusions He died after three blood transfu sion operation in which former com rades gave a quart each of their blood In a final effort to restore him to health. Yesterday afternoon, befpre the last transfusion operation, it was decided to send for his fiancee. Miss Clarlbelle Wallace, twenty-three years old. of BOO Buck street, Millvllle, N. J. She hur ried to his bedside, and they decided, oh tbe surgeons mid the sick man might not survive tue operation, to bo mar ried. Hall's stepfather went to City Hall and got a special license, and Father Joseph V. McCaffrey, of the Church of tho Sncrcd Heart, Moyamenslng ave nue and Reed street, performed the ceremony. Tears Fill Girl's Eyes The dying marine, was propped up in bed, and with his sweetheart holding his hand, trying to smile though her eyes were filled with tears, tho two were married, ne made tho responses In a weak but audible voice, and the girl answered with utternrlce choked with tears, After the wedding tho girl waited for the transfusion operation, which might piean life for her sweetheart, or might end suddenly in death. Though ho sur vived the operation, the, surgeons told tbe girl that there was scarcely any hope for his recovery. She Insisted on staying with him until the end. Tho f;lrl was exhausted after he died, and s now prostrated at the house on Philip street. Francis M. Weld, of Boston, a for mer officer In tho marine corps under Tvlmm TTall was serving when he was gassed in France, was tbe last to give his blood In an effort, to save the Pa tient's life, Mr. Weld is connected with the frm of ML'Faddcn, Sands 4 Co.. 11B Chestnut street. Tho first operation was performed April 21, two days after Hall was ad mitted tn the hospital, suffering from anemia.

GILBERT Blnlt rnrrmimndrnt. Krenlna- rnhllc l4str Cepvrloht, tott, bv Public Ltitprr Co. Washington, April 20. Senator Hi ram Johnson is going to open his fight on the Hording administration as soon ns he returns here from New York with a public statement opposing the confirmation of David Blair, of North Carolina, as Internal revenue collector. Tho confirmation of Blair hns been held up at Johnson's request. The special objection Johnson has to Blair is that ho violated hi pri mary instruction in tho Chicago na tional convention. Johnbon carried the direct primaries in North Carolina. The delegates from that stato were thus Instructed for him. Most of them broke away as soon as possible, but Blair was the worst offender from the stand Dolnt of Johnson, for Blair totally dis regarded instructions and voted for Hardin? from tho first ballot. Johnson has been particularly anxious to raise this direct primaries Issue and has threatened to do so ever slnco his defeat nt Chicago. He desires to linvo Blair's annointment considered In nnoii KPHsInn no that he can air lil-t objections to disregarding tho results of .1I.M. '.t.nnli luifnwi ,tlA TlllMIn Seeks to Make Issue Impersonal He will not confine himself to the case of Blair. He Is bitter about the way tho delegates from Michigan, who were also Instructed for him In the presidential primaries, behaved. And so as to make the issue impersonal he will go into the case of Indiana, whose delegates wero Instructed for General Wood, but whoso senators worked effectively throughout the con vention for the nomination of Hard ing. During the campaign ho refused to go to Indiana nnd assist In tho re-election of Senator James Watson, but Instead wrote and caused to bo published letters charging W ateon with violating the will of the people of Indiana. So his attack unon Blair Is likely to bo a spicy affair. In this fight Johnson will have the sunnort of the Progressive senators Thcv Hvmnathizc with his view thnt tho appointment of Blair is a reward for violating primary Instructions and ns tending to aid the movement to aDousn direct primaries.
