Nevertheless had It 1 not been for the poor footing to-day the ? showing would have been much better ' As it was, the ground was in a wretched condition, and Haverford won out through ' the superior BbUit** of her players to nego- ' tiate long ghotf. At the close of the first half Haverford ? led by a score of I goals to 0, and the ' prospects were anything but bright for 1 Columbia.

"Thirteen" Just a Baker's Dozen, Not a Hoodoo So Says One of the Owners. of the Tip Tops When Warned to Keep Eyes Open. If the Tip Tops are to win the pennant in the Federsl League they must over? come a hoodoo as well as defeat the other seven teams. The Wards broke into the game on February 13. On Friday, the 13th, the players started for their training camp. When Bradley, the manager, arrived In Washington and counted his forces he found that ho had Just thirteen playe.***. Walter S. Ward, secretary of the club, who accompanied the party to Washing? ton, returned here yesterduy. When the fateful thirteen hoodoo was pointed out to him h?; refused to he at all down?:ast. "We Wards don't mind thirteen at all," he said. "It's not an unlucky number for us, because thirteen Is a baker's dozen."

National Weekly, March 21aL HOMER BAKER BEATS KMAT IN HALF NILE Runs Rival Into Ground in Last Lap to Win by Two Yards. LOWERS THE ARMORY MARK FOR DISTANCE Fourteenth Regiment Capt ures Wall Scaling Con? test Easily. DAHL VICTOR IN DASH ? Big Crowd Sees Militiamen Vie for Honors at the Annual Indoor Games. Homer Baker, who wears the silk? of the New York Athletic Club In open com? petition, satisfied one of the ambitions of his athletic career by defeating Abel Tt Klviat In the half-mile run In the Mili? tary Athletic League championships held In the armory of the 71st Regiment last night. Baker led his rival to the worsted, after running him into the ground on the last lap, by about two yards in the record smashing time of 1 minute and 56 4-6 seconds. The old record of th?? Military Athletic League for the distance was 168'-5, established by Mel Sheppard of the 22d Regiment, In 1S07. Baker well deserved his victory. Rat? ing along In fourth position for about two laps, with Klvlat setting the pace. he. worked his way to a commanding posi? tion, and about one and one-half laps from home went out Into the lead. In a trice he leaped two yards out In front and there he stayed. On tho bell 'ap Klvlat went at him hammer and tonga?4 but there was no stopping Baker I.on had he waited for Just this chance, an?! would not be denied in the moment of triumph. Runring with every ounce of speed at? tainable, he held his place, and although Kivlat did creep up a f?w feet he wa? nat ?tutu? ep to making the full distance Ott** t>e Oruchy. representing the OS I Regiment, of Brooklyn, won third honors. \ The wail scaling competition waa ?ofl 1 by the 14th Regiment in hollow etyle. ] The Brooklyn lads fairly flew over th? vail coming and going, ami crosbcd th? finish line in. 43 seconds. Th? ..id team was second, ?U*"* seconds ?lower, while the l!d Infantry was third, .? . ??, ond* back. C Dahl, of the Secomi .N'a va I Batt?-,l;on, won the seventy-yard dash from Frank Stephen8on In 0.07 3-j. In the seml-il'ial heat the latter equalle?l the record for the league of 0:07 t-f seconds held by Law? | son Robertson. J. Nabal, of the "1st Regl? ? ment, captured the seventy-five yard ra<*/*ffj I for novice?. ^H More than two thousand .*?pecta'.?'i ? were on hand to cheer the boys on to greater effort. "Peerless" Mel Sheppard. to the delight of his friends, proved that be has many another slashing race left by winning the quarter-mile run in sensational style, lie. came through In the last lap, running on winged feet, and while the crowd rose in its seats to bellow approval the hero of the London Olympic games rushid by P. P. H?user, of the 2d Naval Battalion, and R. Shelly, of the 74th Regiment, of Buffalo, to win by a fair margin. The I j time was 63 4-5 seconds. ' ' It waa the real Mel Sheppard who rart those closing yards. He had the old hop to his sprint, all the old fire in all his running. Laying hack for the first M yards, ho allowed the others to run their heads ? T, but once he cut loose the rac was over. H?user did some heroic run? ning when Sheppard made l*Js challenge, but he waa Just a little beyond his depth and was forced to yield. A fleet-footed field of novi?*^ runners toed the mark ' for the 600-yard run, which was won by G. Binder, of the flat Regiment, in 1 minute and ".'i seconds, r". Ballestler, of the 47th Infantry, **,.ts gg ond, while W. Friedman, of the 14th Regi? ment, came in third. Binder ran the race with his Ik ad <iuu as much as with his stalwart legs, nn?l won by a comfortable margin, #goin? away. He showed great promise and will undoubtedly be heard from in the future. The 230-yard championship was won by Tommy Lennon, of the 7lst Regiment, who fairly flew around the sharp angles of the track in M seconds. Running on the home course was undoubtedly a great advantage to the young Stuten Island lad, but he had the speed of the field and would have undoubtedly won no matter where he met the same men.
