BRISK SHOOTING MATCH GAVE WORDEN VICTORY OVER SHOOP; WAR MADE OVER 4,000,000 ATHLETES Yanks Against French In Big Motor Race. An ever lengthening shadow Is overcasting the championship hopes of America in the international 600- mile Liberty sweepstakes race on the Indianapolis speedway. May 31, as the French ballot team in the con test, composed of Rene Thomas, Paul Bablot, Albert Gujot and Louis "Wagner, looms up more and more formidably on the horizon. This quartet of European speed stars is so confident of winning that its members are already inquiring sls to the date of payment of the prize money, and their manager. Monsier Joe Origet, newly arrived from Paris, France, brings with him tales of prowess of their mounts that leave no doubt as to their potential flty as wreckers of America's (chances. The Ballot combination is the inost talked of oufit to-day in the Indianapolis embroglio, and its iworkouts preliminary to the contest Bre the subject of most anxious con cern. The apparent ease with ■which the Frenchmen shoot around the track, knocking off laps in 1.31 find 1.32, or nearly 100 miles an Jiour, is a revelation to the dockers •who are attempting to fathom the real limit of their strength. The elimination trials that will rtart four days before the Indian apolis race to weed out eight of the remaining field of 4'l entrants are ■expected for the first time to fur !ish a true estimate of the maxi paum effort of which the Ballot driv jers are capable, the inducement to Jlet out to the limit being provided rty the fact that the fastest drivers iln the elimination trials will be (placed in the front row during the •flying start of the race. It is quite uin advantage to be out in front at 'the getaway, and it is not thought "that the Ballot contingent will over look this bet, breaking all the rec ords now extant on the Indianapolis track, if necessary, to secure the ■coveted front line positions. Against the Gallic wrecking crew re arrayed a brave and daring band of Tanks who will go the limit to repel the assault of their foreign adversaries, making up in sheer skill $3.00 ROUND TRIP War Tax § kt eeat additional TO Pittsburgh Sunday, June 1 Special Traia Leave* Barriikvc 5.00 A.

The Indianapolis track has the sav ing grace of giving the man with a slower car u chance, as Kulph De- Palma conclusively proved In 1915 when with a less ugile mount he vanquished the great Dario Resta. Every one of the American con testants, with minor exceptions, is bred to the Indianapolis track,'*'hav ing turned countless laps upon it, and the familiarity that comes with long experience is expected to stand them in good stead when it comes to threading the way through a field of thirty-three flying cars. Driving a fast lap in practice and I driving at the same speed in a race ; are two different propositions. In J the former it is possible to "hit the j groove," i. e., to pick out the angle i on the turn that is most conducive |to rapid locomotion. In a race it is : a question of going through wherever an opportunity presents itself, and the man who has best control of the steering wheel, coupled with an in timate knowledge of the track, is usually the man upon whom it is wise to place a little money. On one of the high speed saucers j built in other cities in a vain at- S tempt to surpass the success of the ! Indianapolis speedway, tracks where | the banking is so step that speed I counts for everything and skill for j nothing, many experts would unbesi ; tatingly hand victory to the Ballot I combination on a silver platter. How ever, at Indianapolis conditions are | different, and though the Ballot team | will probably rue a favorite for the j race, on account of the excess speed j that it seems to possess, neverthe | less the outcome of the race will be in doubt until it is actually run and ■ won. 13 Is No Jinx For the East End Club j By the score of 13-2, East End A.

C., May 25. —Head , of the largest athletic program the world has ever known, director of the largest coaching staff ever gath ered under one head, leader in giv ing wounded men in the convales cent centers work which helped them to regain normal life, Dr. Joseph E. Kaycroft, chairman of the Athletic Division, War Department Commission on Training Camp Ac tivities, will complete two years in this service while returning to the United States from abroad. May 26, 1917, the commission ordered him to "go ahead'' with the athletic pre* gram he had outlined at the second meeting of the organization beaded by Raymond B. Fosdick. On the 26th day of May. 1919, he was on the George Washington, returning from Europe after seeing the pro gram for which he was responsible carried to completion along the dis- , tant banks of the Rhine. Between the dates, two >" eal 2 apart, he gathered together a staff of head coaches and instructors, numbering one hundred and eight men, and through these, by inten sive training courses within the camps, taught other thousands to be instructors in games, hand to hand fighting and physical develop ment. When the toll of the war be gan to drift back from France in broken men, these same forces were mobilized in the convalescent cen ters and wounded men by the scores were helped back to normal life by the understanding of these men who. have made the co-ordination of mind and muscle a life study. The first duty imposed upon the Athletic Division was physical fit ness of the men in the army. Work in the camps developed that the Athletic Director and the boxing in structor working together were the men to work out the program in hand to hand fighting and with the bayonet instructor, many of whom were from the Allied armies, to co ordinate the bayonet fighting. This gave an unusual burden to the men at the head of athletics in the camp land only the presence in the camps, as members of the National army, of many men trained in athletics and boxing made possible the effi cient completion of the program. These men were former directors of college and high school athletics, I gymnasium directors and college athletes. The college athletes, men j who had learned the fundamental lessons of body building in their sports, were the backbone of this teaching staff. They were assigned to the schools of the athletic direc tor the boxing instructor, and the hand to hand fighting instructor, by the hundreds and in some of "the camps this corps of special teachers numbered as high as a thousand men. . , , To handle this number needed an efficient organization. The Athletic Council of the camp is a marvel of completeness. Before the first i thirty men were sent to the camps as athletic directors, they were called together. It was a new prob lem for one man to take the leader ship in the training of from 30,000 to 60,000 men and these men, called from the largest college positions in the United States considered it long and earnestly before they decided upon the form of the business or ganization or rather the promotion organization to be the uthletic head of the camp. The council as defined at these conferences met the need so thoroughly that it is in use in the army at the present time, not only in the United States but in the organ izations of the A. E. F. in France. In this council, the atheltic director and a staff officer are the head, the positions sometimes being consoli dated as the athletic directors were commissioned in the army. Each regiment, or similar organization in the camp or base is represented by a man with power to speak for them, usually the athletii officer of the regiment, and under these each com pany or similar unit is represented by one officer. This council is the directing mind of camp or base, and as it represents every man in the camp it also has the power of direction under the approval of the camp commander. A. H. Roberts, ... 25 22 G.

This organization, with Dr. Ray croft and Captain John L,. Griffith at its head in this country, and with Colonel Waite C. Johnson and Dr. Raycroft at its head in Europe, is at the present time in charge of an athletic organization which extends from Camp Kearney, California, the farthest point from the war at which soldiers were trained, to the bridgeheads of the Rhine. Because of the work of this organization, 4,- 000,000 are marching back to the ranks of citizens with a new idea of the place recreational athletics has in the life of a nation. Millions of men have learned new games be cause of the work of the teachers gathered together by Dr. Raycroft when it became certain that a new ideal in athletics must be established in the army if it was to be the un usual army which was expected of this nation, an expectation which reached full fruition of the battle hell of the Argonne.
