mv YORK. July 22. This far
ahead five weeks In advance ot
the date it Is possible to state
as an absolute fact that the 1916 na-
tional track and field athletic cham-
pionships of the Amateur Athletic
union will offer at least four of the
greatest contests in the history of the
cinderpath sport. The championships
are to be held in the great new stadium
at Weequahlc park. Newark on August
20. as one of the chief features in the
celebration of the 250th anniversary of
the founding of the New Jersey me-
tropolis. The foremost athletes of the nation
will assemble for the classic with hlnh I
flasi wrffirmflTiivs in vlpw fi vm i
event bus four of the contests bid fair
tf -Tit7a f ia ntrier Thnv -ova f ti
to outclass the others. They are the
two hurdle races and the middle dis
tance runs at 440 and S80 yards. In each i
V
of these there will be a field of men
able to give the world's record a good
battle and in at least two of the four
the odds are in favor of new marks.
Perhaps the most remarkable of the
four tests and certainly the greatest
hurdle race in history will be the 120
yard scramble over the high obstacles.
In It will be four men who have ex-
celled the famous old record of Alvin
Kraenzlein 15 1-5 seconds Fred Kel-
ley alumnus of the University of
Southern California and winner of the
Olympic championship at Stockholm in
1312 Carl Thompson Kelly's successor
at U. S. C; Fred Murray of Stanford
university and Bon Simpson of the
University of Missouri.
Simpson is the new world's record
holder having done 14 3-5 seconds on
two occasions and 14 4-5 several other
times. Thompson has made 14 4-5 sec-
onds twice. Kelly and Murray have
marks of 15 seconds repeated time and
again. Simpson is looked upon gen-
erally as the probable winner of the
struggle but Thompson the youngest
of the quartet is a youngster who im-
proved so rapidly during the last year
that further advances by him would not
be regarded as unlikely.
Jack Eller. of the Irish American A.
C. of New York and Joe Loomls. of
Chicago A. A. are others who will com-
pete in this wonderful race. Both are
former national champions but they
seem to be outclassed by the late crop
of western youngsters.
This same gang will clash again In
the 220 yard low hurdles where Looniis
and Ellr will have a somewhat better
chance. Meredith House and John Nor-
ton a couple more Californians will be
contenders In this competition. All
those mentioned are training now for
the big day.
The middle distance runs will feature
Ted Meredith the Quaker flier who
has Just been graduated by the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania after setting a
new world's record for a quarter mile
around a. turn and another world's rec-
ord for the half mile. Ted's mark for

Meredith to Make Strong Rarr.
I have it direct from Meredith him-
self that all his training now is aimed
entirely to speed him up for the quar-
ter mile in which he wants to crack
Maxey Long's ancient mark of 47 sec-
onds for a straightaway dash. He is
centering his whole attention on gain-
ing speed for that stretch paying no
attention to his condition for running
a half. He already holds the undisputed
world's record for the latter distance
so is not caring much about it. He will
compete in that race however for it
comes an hour after the quarter on the
program and. therefore of course
lould have no influence toward im-
pairing his chances for a new quarter
mile record. He will run himself out
trying for the 440 mark and then will
start in the half without having saved
himself for 1L
Those who saw "Iron Man" Ted Mer-
edith run his 47 2-5 quarter at Cam-
bridge and 40 minutes later win the half

spect for his recuperative powers and '
it is a foregone conclusion he will

Baltimore iTd . July 22. That Balti-
more Is ripe for big league baseball
and that the Washington franchise
appears to be the logical one for this
city was tho statement here by Garry
Herrmann chairman of the National
commission.
When asked concerning Baltimore's
chances of securing a big league fran-
chise Herrmann smiled. At first he
hesitated about talking on the baseball
situation declaring he was more in-
terested at the present time In getting
a look at the German U-boat now in
the harbor. But Herrmann is a. base
ball man and despite his anxiety for a !
drifted back to baseball.
"Baltimore." ho said "is now ready
for big league baseball. The sentiment
concerning this city has changed with-
in the last several months among the
big leaguers and the common opinion
is that Baltimore would support a
major league team
Garry then was asked how Baltimore
could go about securing the big league
franchise and ho answered that it was
entirely up to the Baltimoreans. How-
ever it might hava been ahint when
he suggested the Washington fran-
chise appeared to bth logical one for
this city.
IVnfthlngton Not llraning Well.
"Washington" he continued "is not
drawing very welL The fans in that
city are not going to the ball park as
they should and the owners are losing
money. Baltimore's only chance as 1
see it. Is to secure a franchise in the
American league.
"I do Hot think this city has a chance
to get into the National league. Balti-
more's location must be taken into con-
sideration in her fight for big league
baseball.
"There was considerable talk going
about tho country some time ago thai
Baltimore eventually would secure the
St. Louis franchise but you can tell
local fans that they need not entertain
any hopes for that franchise. That
would place five teams in. the east. '

"BECK'S" AMEN CORNER
"ET it out of your head that any
one team has "easy pickings" in
Sunday's games of the Commercial
league. There are three games sched-
uled and every game looks like a real
battle from start to finish. So many
good players from the national guard
are now available that the managers
have had a chance to strengthen up
and there are now mighty few weak
spots in any team.
lRACKA JACKS have the call on
two good pitchers besides Joe
Lucas and there's no telling just
which one manager Smith will decide
to use on Sunday morning against the
Seventh infantry. Of course Dun-
can will work for the soldiers and he
will go after a new league strikeout
record. Lucas and Leyva are now
tied for the strikeout honors each
having 16 in a seven-inning game.
tr
COMPLAINT is made by some of
the national guardsmen that
there is not enough doing in the 1
Paso athletic world to suit them.
Why do not the officers get together
and ng rp an army league? There
are enough regiments here to furnish
a 12-club league without the slight-
est trouble. With two seven-inning
games every afternoon the different
clubs would get plenty of action and
the fans of El Paso would also
patronize the games if they be
played at Rio Grande park.

test. The Mexicans will use Villa-

south wing crossfire is hard to beat
