Chalk waa easily the star individual athlete in the meet, copping first In his chosen runs, the mile and the half, and also breaking the tape in the 440 dash. In neither rac was he pushed and he did not make exceptionally fast time. He negotiated the mile In 6:13 and the half mile In 2:20 2 5. He reeled off the quarter mile dash In SI 4-5 and led KIpp. who was again out in suit, by a margin of 7 yards. Thomas won second in the half mile. A Good Team. With a team of 12 men, mostly vet erans. at Galesbnrg the high school ought to make a fine showing at the Dig Eight meet. Captain Glass will lead his warriors of the track and field, and he will perform in the field events, notably the shot, discus, and broad jump. Clark will run his two distance races, the mile and the half mile, and he should cop first place in each, aa he did last year. Claude Klpp. who has recently began prac tices, w ill ran In the 440 dash. Ingalls Clark and Hippler will be the repre- setnatlvea of the crimson and gold in the dashes, and with the speed which they have shown at the inter-class meets they should cop some place in the sprints. Thomas will be the re maining veteran in the meet, and he will run the half mile. The green men are showing up well in the pre liminary meets, and a number of them will be taken to Galesburg on the team. Greve will probably be placed in the shot and discus events.

We have Federals and war right here in our own land. The Three-Eye league had a bril liant opening Thursday. A good be ginning presages a bad ending. Brooklyn Nationals have a manager this year who tips the scales at the 250 mark. If. paper didn't cost so much we might run his .picture. Judging from the start which the Cleveland Naps have gotten this sea son, there will be no pennant flags flying in that city next year. Taking into consideration the pres ent playing qualities of Hank O'Day's Cubs, it must have taken a lot of nerve to offer $S50,000 for them. Speaking of crowds, journey to Weegham's north side park if you want to see 'em. The American fleet has arrived in Mexican waters, but where is this fam ous Gunboat Smith? The band at the opening Cub game in Chicago- played "Hail, Hail, tie Gang's All Here." During the fame the crowd cheered himBelf hoarse. Ha was an enthusiastic gang anyhow. With Willie Ritchie out on the coast, what other defense can we ask? Suggestion to U. S. Army Hire Walter Johnson as a sharp shooter. The .White Sox have got 'em all luting their flag. There may be real heroes In theannr at Mexico alright, but believe n they've got nothing on the guy who sits out a ball game with the temper ature around the freezing mark. Outlaw baseball is a great thin for ts lawyers. t . Ban Johnson has sent an ultlmitam to General Gilmore and tapaun Weegham. 'Tls a' great day for ultimatums.
