Arthur, K
1 "Tlllle" Shafer looked like a real
holdout this spring, and McGrnw was
glad to hitch him up to another con-
It tract. He has had several years of
bench warming, but will be the regu
lar shortBtop this season.
He has it on Fletcher as a batter
and base runner, belnc one of the fast
est men in the game getting down to
first. His batting average was 28?
in 78 games last season and he stole
22 bases. This year he looks faster
than ever, and as long as he continues
to hit Fletcher will have to decorate
the bench.

Record With Ease
Interest in Big Event
Philadelphia. April 26. The great
est college athletes of the east and
west will compete Monday at Frank
lin field in the University of Pennsyl
vania's annual relay carnival, and it
is freely predicted that more than
one outdoor record will be shattered.
The alhlotic coaches of all of the big
universities are watching over their
charges tonight as though they were
guarding golden treasures. None of
the great galaxy of stars worked out
more than 30 minutes at the field
today In preparation for the great
tests to which they will be put on
the morrow.
Of course each trainer is predlct
ign that his team will clean up ev
erything in sight , but an apprehen
sive eye is cast bv his rivals upon
veteran Trainer Mike Murphy, of the
U. of P., when he hoves in sight, not
fully recovered from his recent Ill
ness, but with a twinkle In his eye
that bodes ill for the athletes who
are to match their speed, stamina
and skill against his boys
As usual the relay races are the
most popular subjects for specula
I tlon. but the array of talent entererl
In the special events Is attracting
quite 8 bit of attention. The high
jump Is one event which Is being
looked forward to by the followers
of track and field meets. The men
who are entered in Ihis event are
looked upon as the greatest leapers
for height In the world and the pro
phets are pretiv safe in declaring
thai a new mark will be set up bv i
Bome of the men whose names fol
low with their best jumps:

ii has not oeen announced wnewer
Mercer ihe Intercollegiate champion !
broad jumper, will defend his title
in the contest, but as he is s mem- (
be of the one mile relay team, there
is a possibility that Trainer Murphy
will keep him out of the jump. Wes
son of Notre Dame, who won thlsj
event two years ago at the relay
carnival, and v. ho is endued with a;
leap of 23 feet, 5 Inches, will be i
