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.

Earl Caddock,, virtually unknown outside the Middle West, threw Joe
Steelier, the American wrestling champion, in Omaha the other night,
and was awarded the bout which makes him the new American cham
pion. Stecher won the first fall in something more than an hour. 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.

(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

7 3-5 seconds, was 11-5 seconds faster
than the former mark set by Miss ■
Dorfner at San Francisco last year. i

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.
