PATRIOTIC START IS MANAGER GEORGE COCKILL'S PLAN—PLAYS AND PLAYERS FRESHMEN SHOW SPEED ON TRACK Tcch Coaches May Announce Eleventh Hour Changes For Relay Ti am Members of the Tech track team to tho number of 25 reported to the Is land last evening under the direc tion of Coaches Peet and Hill. It has been announced that there will be a practice every night this week. Mem bers of tho relay team, are as yet not in the best possible condition because of the cool weather that has prevailed. Word has come from the University of Pennsylvania that tho names of the runners at the Penn relays will not have to be in until Thursday. This will give the coaches an opportunity to make further selections from the material. May Make Changes While it is likely tnat the Demming, Eyster, Sutch, Evans combination will remain intact. Freshman Mellck is pushing tlie quartet hard for a posi tion, and is likely to displace several of the quarter milera any day. Roger Harmon also looms strong. Tho Maroon runners hope to win in their class and then enter the high school championships of the United States. In this class they will oppose runners who represent a student body of 3,000 in several cases, so that at least in regard to number the local flyers will be outclassed.

But lio must have worn liimselt out in doing it, for his opponent was far stronger and fresher in the second bout, which ho took in an hour and ■ forty minutes. The third fall was awarded Caddock by default. Stecher failed to return to the ring from his dressing room. The referee said | Stecher sent word he refused to return because he was sick. Caddock's home is in Berea, lowa. He was trained for the match by Frank Gotch, the former champion, who also advised him throughout the bout. When not engaged in wrestling matches he looks after his farm. "yporili^hi & CrantJandJh'ce (Copyright, 1917, The Tribune Ass'n.) There is at least one situation which seven American League ball clubs might ponder with considerable earnestness, viz., the job of beating out the Boston Ked Sox is going to be one of the toughest assignments that any league ever tackled. There were rumors about early in the year that the old machine was slip ping. But after watching this club work through its first series you can take these rumors as being grossly unfounded. If the lied Sox are a bad ball club Rumania has been the winning factor in this war. World Series Ways The Red Sox have proved before they carried all the essentials of a winning club. , The one point was that, perhaps, they had slowed up. Not so as you could notice it at close range. Hooper, Lewis and Walker still have plenty of speed, and all three can throw. Hooper and Walker have two of the greatest out field arms in the well-known profession. They are dangerous riflemen to fool With, and they are as good this year as they ever were before. The same goes for the infield. Hobby, the veteran, is around like a young ster. He looks better to-day than lie looked last spring. Jack Barry, still un der thirty, is close to his best, and one of thfe game's stars. Everett Scott has all the brilliancy he has known before, with experience to steady him down. He is one of the great shortstops of the game. As for Gardner, this veteran, is as active as ever. The tip was out that he was fading out a bit. You can erase fbis from the debate. He can hit, field and throw with ail his old world series ways. The Old Vitality ( The Champs of Christendom still maintain their old vitality. Make no mis take about that. Hooper and Hobby have served nine years. Lewis, Barry and Gardner have served eight. Cady and Thomas have seen several years' service, but Scott and the pitchers—Ruth, Leonard, Shore and Mays—are all under twenty-six. The wonder is that none of these veterans lias slowed up. We were told by rival clubs two years ago that Lewis and Gardner were slipping. They show no evidence of this to-day. They are apparently as fast as ever and can throw with the old-time snap. The vital spark is still there—or we miss one of the easiest guesses in the games . Smart Club We should say the Red Sox were easily the smartest, wisest club in baseball. They play the game, and they play every square inch of it. Their heads are up and they know what to do—and how to do it. With so much winning experience behind them, they are a wise lot. All they need for a manager is some well-liked leader to keep them hustling. They won under Jake Stahl. Bill Carrigan came along, and they won for Bill. Now Jack Barry is at the helm, and they still look like winners. Changing man agers hasn't upset their plans a trifle. They still keep driving along, playing a lot of baseball apd missing few openings to arrive. One of the Gamcst For two years now they have proved to be one of the gamest clubs in base ball. Hard luck doesn't break their spirit. Lust year they lost Speaker, had two stars injured a big part of the year and then lost Jack Barry in, the last main drive down the stretch. But they refused to wilt, holding the course with unbroken lines to the finish. l It may be that constant victory has developed this esprit de corps to an ab normal extent. Whatever the reason, the Red Sox have it in copious quantities. They have developed the rare faculty of not losing heart, even under the most adverse conditions. Wonderful Balance There are few great players on the club, but for all that it is one of the best balanced machines that ever played. There isn't a weak cog in the machine. The outfield is strong, the infield is strong, the catching is good and the pitch ing is consistently powerful. It is the type of club to stand up at all times—never to be thrown into rout, or to be badly broken. For its men apparently have extremely tough fiber. They are rarely in jured. Being experienced campaigners, they know how to take care of them selves. And this is a big, vital factor. There is very little fragile bric-a-brac upon the club. After the Record Against the Tanks at the season's start the machine looked to be every whit as far advanced as it looked last fall against Brooklyn. The speed and the punch were both still there. And there was that same calm, cool determina tion to land. The Red Sox are now after a world's record—which is the task of winning three world series in a row. They believe they can beat the American League field again, and then hold up as well as they did against the Phillies and the Dodgers—two clubs who yielded them eight victories out of ten starts. They may not. get there this time—for they have more than one tough ma chine to stop—but we should list them as certain favorites, the luck of the game being over the 60-50 route. The one thing that would beat this club out would be a general let-down through overconfldence. If they keep on hustling all the way, as they have through the last two years, there must be a vast improvement shown by any rival to head them off. . NEW RECORD FOR 100-YD. DASH! Philadelphia, Pa., April 17. Miss Olga Derfner established a new Am erican woman's swimming record for the 100-yard dash at a water carnival here last night. Her time, one minute 7 3-5 seconds, was 11-5 seconds faster than the former mark set by Miss ■ Dorfner at San Francisco last year. i HXRRJBBURG (fIP TELEGKXPH IiACDANUM CAUSES DEATH Paradise, Pa., April 17. A dose of laudanum given in mistake to Richard D. Gloune Sunday evening resulted fatally in the death of the child, after the services or two physicians had failed. The child was fourteen months old and had been ill for two weeks witl> a bad cold. The parents and two brothers survive. PATRIOTIC START COCKILL'S PLAN Drills, Flagraising and Singing to Feature Baseball Open ing May 8 Harrisburg is to have a patriotic baseball opening. This is the plan of Manager Cockill. lie will first get his squad of rookies and regulars going at Lewisßurg, after which the local manager will start work on opening preparations. The season starts in Harrisburg on Tuesday, May 8. Eimira will be the attraction. The usual parade will take place previous to the game. Every amateur and semi-professional team in the city will be invited to partici pate. An invitation will be extended to the Motive' Power Athletic Associa tion of tho Philadelphia Division, Pennsylvania Railroad, to head the first division, which will be made up of local teams. The patriotic program will be ob served at Island Park. There will be a band concert, parade and Hag rais ing. The latter will be done in mili tary style, with band and buglers. It is also proposed to have a military drill by one or more of the local com panies if arrangements can be made. For this game Manager Cockill wants every fan who attends to carry a flag. The big crowd will also sing patriotic songs. There may be two or more brief addresses, and other spe cial feaures. Invitations will be ex tended to State, county and city offi cials, Red Cross Society, and local re cruiting officers to attend. Manager Cockill may be in Harrisburg next Monday to talk over his plans. Johnny Dundee Winner In Last Battle With Mealy Philadelphia, April 17.—Johnny Dun dee, of New York, had every minute of the eighteen he engaged in with John ny Mealy last night, at the Olympia Athletic Club, his own way, and at the expiration of th< bout the latter was a very tired and played-out boxer. From the time Dundee floored Mealy with a left hand swing flush on ttie mouth early in the first round. Mealy was outclassed, lie did not take the count when knocked down and was not knocked oft his pins during the rest of.the journey, but he took an ovcr 'dose of punishment until the final clang of the gong ended the one-sided af fair. In the semiwindup Jack Andrews, of Baltimore, tall, angular and willing, was the recipient of a severe lacing from stocky Joe Hirst, of this city. Hirst won from the handshake and during the eighteen minutes he gave the Maryland mauley a beating he will not forget in many moons. Scranton Manager Sore; Many Deals Fail to Mature Scranton, Pa., April 18. Manager Bill Coughlin will wait no longer lor things to turn up. Tho next thing to turn up will be his sleeves. 11c says so himself. Tho doughty leader of the local New York State I.eague team has been waiting for weeks to hear develop ments on nearly a dozen deals he has on hand, and so far nothing lias de veloped. Bill is keenly disappointed over the way things have been shap ing themselves, and he realizes that he has one of the tough test proposi tions of his career to build up a win ning ball team for Scranton with the material on hand. With the opening of tho season less than three weeks off. Bill hasn't the nucleus of a iirst-class amateur club. He Is up against it for pitchers, in fielders and outfielders. He has suc ceeded in rounding up a collection of very promising young players, but what he wants most is a corps of sea soned pitchers. The men are due to report to his here to-day.
