Freshmen Win
Annual Event
Freshmen 60
Sophomores 22
Seniors 5 .... 19
Juniors 15
Such is the result of the annual field
and track meet held on Ankeny field
yesterday between the four classes of
Whitman college. Pearsons Academy
did not put a team upon the Held yes
terday for the reason that the aca
demy is this year considered a separ
ate institution in all the activities.
The freshmen entered by far the
| largest number of men. and the most
of them have bee going through reg-
I ular training during . the past few
' weeks under the careful direction or
! Coach Tilly, while many of the other
contestants have been doing but lit
tle training and consequently were un-
I able to enter strongly into all the
| events. ' Several of the strongest men
lof the upper classes did not turn out
' for the best, but were nevertheless
! able to capture some of the first pla
ices. Tracey Cox took the 100 yard
| dash for the juniors without any
• training and Lewis won first place tn
both the discus throw and the shot
put. Oldw-ight. of th- senior class,
won the 440 yard dash vith but two
evenings of training.
Coach Tilly says the work of the
track -men fully came up to his ex
j pectations and that some fine records
for certain reasons have assumed a
norn de plume. A look at Jim Flynn's
real name will soon make plain why
he tried to get away from the one his
father handed down to him. In other
cases* the cause is not so obvious. Here
are the names, real and assumed, na
tionality and age of the prominent

He plume.
were made for this early in the sea
son Woods, of the freshman class,
ran the mile in 4 minutes and 57 sec
onds; he runs in fine form and does
not seem to be tired after running
three or four hard races, including the
"mile and the half-mile. Foster, who
holds the Northwest record in the pole
vault, jumped 11 feet while holding
to good form; his system of jumping
is envied by every pole vaulter among
the colleges of the Northwest. Dress
er hurled the javelin 135 feet, which
means that he will probably make the
Northwest record for the season that
the javelin event is just being intro
duced in this state. Lewis threw the
discus a good long distance. The
record made in the 100 yard dash by
Cox was good for this early in the
season, while Neill's record of 23.1
seconds for the 220 yard dash was
considered a very good one. The
•coach thinks that when the meet
comes off toward the close of this
month with Idaho on Ankeny field, the
Missionaries will show up strong.
The customary "senior novice race
was won by Hawiey, who finished the
sprint, according to the senior story,
"with one foot ahead of the other."
The race was interesting from the fact
that Rassett. the fat man. and Wash
burn, the slim man of the class, were
both contesting for honors and the
silver cup.
The winner of the largest number
of points i nthe meet was Verne Dres
ser, of the freshman class, having 16
points to his credit. He is a hurdler,
having made a fine record while in the
high school of this city. Several of
the others, including Foster. Neill and
Woods, came close behind him for
first place.
The following is a record of the
events, and showing the winners of
first, second and third places:

Jeffries is
A Busy Man
BEN LOMOND, Cal. April 16.—Jef
fries was busy yesterday putting in the
hardest work of his present training
session. The afternoon's workout in
cluded boxing, rope skipping, shadow
boxing, hag punching and a half
hour's tug at the pulley weights. Af
ter this a handball game with Berger
followed.
In the second round of the boxing
bout with Bob Armstrong, Jeffries
rather puzzled the handful of spec
tators in the gymnasium by suddenly
ceasing to spar, after Armstrong had
landed a rather stiff punch on his
chin. For a moment it appeared that
the colored heavyweight had dazed the
champion, but it developed a few sec
onds later that a muscular cramp in
the back of the neck had caught the
big boxer so suddenly that he could
not continue until the masseusers had
rubbed the affliction away. The spar
ring was resumed, but Jeffries did not
thoroughly rid himself of the cramp
until well into the third round.
Berger gave Armstrong instructions
this afternoon to send his punches in
as hard as he could and obeying
orders. he landed some smashing
blows on his big adversary. When
Jeffries came back for vengeance,
however, the black refused to stand
his ground, and ran like a frightened
rabbit. He was just about able to go
through the three rounds by dint of
an extremely conservative attitude in
the matter of again mixing it with
the big fellow. Jeffries worked a
trifle faster today, but is handicapped
because of having to keep the full
power of his punches up his sleeve.
Jeffries did not regard the cramp
seriously. "I turned my head sud
denly last Friday while boxing with
Armstrong." he said, "and the cramp
hit me then. The boys will rub it out
in a few days and it won't bother me
again."
The fighter's wind seemed remark
ably good after his workout, which
lasted an hour and three-quarters in
all. Th.* morning exercises included
a ten mile drill on the road and a
row on the river.
A dozen telegrams from all over the
country reached the training camp
during the day. all conveying good
wishes to the fighter on his birth
day.
Manager Sam Berger will leave
camp for Salinas tomorrow afternoon.
He will referee a fight there. Word
was received that Joe Choynski had
left Chicago this morning, and is now
on his way to join Jeffries.

broken on the motordrome here yes
terday. The crowd also was thrill
ed by two mishaps," which barely es
caped being Serious. In the 10 mile
free for all, while leading by a good
margin, the Darracq, driven by Ben
Kerscher, threw a tire. The car was
going at a speed of 80 miles an hour
at the time. The tire rolled along the
upper rim of the pie-pan for 200 feet,
and leaped the outer fence, bounding
50 feet in the air. The car swerved
to the side and it was with the great
est difficulty that Kerscher brought
the machine to a stop without an ac
cident. Bragg was following closely
in a Fiat, and missed the rolling tire
by only a few inches.
The other near accident was in the
u0 mile race. In the second mile, the
Buick, driven by Nikrent, broke a
steering nuckle and slid off the track.
Nikrent slammed on all the brakes
and the car was stopped right side
up. The pitch of the track prevented
a bad accident, as it caused the car
to slide toward the inside instead of
shooting through the fence, as would
have occurred on a dirt track.
In the ten mile stock race for cars
of 451-600 cubic inches piston dis

which establishes a new speedway

race, DePalma's mechanic rode astride

car was making a speed of 85 miles

Can Jack Johnson
Get Into Condition
By W. W. Naughton. •
SAN FRANCISCO. April 16— Th*
shoe seems to be on the other foot now.
Until quite recently the all-absorbing
question was, \Vjlll Jeffries be able to
get into condition? Now they are
wondering if Jack Johnson will be in
shape to do himself justice on July 4
There ar,- reasons of course. Jeffries
is attending strictly to business. He is
fulfl ling every promise and has prov
ed conclusive'}- that the job he has on
hand is engrossing his attention to the
exclusion of everything else.
Johnson seems to be drifting. He is
accused of showing a stubborn and r >«
belltous spirit: of contending that it
is nobody's business but his own when
he proposes to come west and begin
training.
That Jack is in a vacillating mood
and does not know Exactly what is
best for himself was suggested by
recent happenings. He said awhile
ago he would not arrive in San Fran
cisco until May. Then Jack Gleason,
who is always ready with the soft
word that mollifteth wrath, conferred
with the big negro and it was given
out that Johnson would be here a few
weeks ear ier than he had at first in
tended.
If his decision not to come until May
was arrived at after serious delibera
tion, and the giving of proper weight
to the importance of what is In pros
pect, why should a few words from
Gleason cause him to change his plans?
Just before news came that Gleason
had talked Johnson into a more con
genial frame of mind George Little,
manager of Johnson, remarked that he
despaired of getting Johnson to do any
serious training. Little probable spoke
when irritated over some lapse on
Johnson's part. But even at that, any
expression from Little to the effect
that Johnson is fractious is bound to
be noticed.
Some people seem to think that
Johnson is miffed at the way Jeff is
being favored and featured by the
press, and that he has acquired a Van
derbilitian disregard for public opin
ion. If that's the way of it, Johnson
has himself to blame. Jeff has pro
ceeded a ong sane lirves. He has en
listed public interest and won public
admiration. While Johnson has been
a regular fly-by-night.
Johnson Always in Trouble.
Jack has been the hero—or the vil
lain, maybe—of all kinds of trans
gression of the law, from reckless auto
driving to assauit with intent. In the
matter of being arrested for debt, his
rec id overlays that of Charles Dick

that if Rickard ami Gleason want t<>
