Mich., April 26. Seven members of Michigan's track team left last night for Philadelphia, where they will meet the crack teams of the east and west in the annual Pennsylvania games. t)r. Kraenzlein has not yet made public his plans re garding the meet, and aside from the tact that Michigan will liuve a four mile relay team In the meet, a great deal Is not known. Five men were taken for the relay, Hanavan, Haim baugh, Smith, Brown and Beardsley. Ol these five, Hanavan and Haim baugh are the only ones who have a place on the team cinched. Just who of ther three latter will be chosen, is known only to Dr. Kraenzlein. It is predicted that Smith and Brown will be the lucky ones, but Beardsley's work this season has been of snch a class, that he has an even chance of making the team. • Accompanying the relay team are Kohler and Sargent. Kohler is the Michigan, youngster, who is expected to fill the shoes of Joe Hor ner, Michigan's great point winner in the field events. Kohler is a tall, well built youngster, who looks as though he ought to be a world-beater In the weight events, and whose work since entering high school, stamps him as a comer. When he came to j Michigan, he had done most of his i work with the hammer, but since coming here he has added the shot put to his other accomplishments, and at the Eastern intercollegiate last year he won fourth place against such stars at Horner, Philbrook of Notre Dame, and Kilpatrick of Yale. At that time he was a freshman, and was having his first try In fast company, but he put the 16-pound shot 43 feet and four inches. He is heaving the iron pill evefi better this year, and is counted upon as a sure point winner in this event. It is not known wheth er Dr. Kraenxlein Intends to enter him in the hammer throw as well as the shotput or not. However, he has been working out daily with the ham mer as well as the shot, and it would not be surprising if he contested in both events. The seventh member of the team Js Sargentlthe high jumper.

He has done six feet one inch indoors, and in outdoor work, has jumped around six feel consist* ently, and is therefore, counted upon as a contender tor first honors at the meet. Warring, who has been expected to shine in the broad jump, did not make the trip. .Last year he jumped 22 feet, with only a couple of weeks’ practice, and it was thought at that time that he would be a sure winner in this event at the Penn games. However, he is not in the best of shape, and Dr. Kraenzlein is evidently saving him for the Eastern Intercollegiate. In Brief, This Is How They Made Them DETROIT <«>. SECOND—Crawford doubled.

NEW YORK WIRE TIPPING IS BEING INVESTIGATED Superstition, Chosen By Tap pers To Bet On, Was Re ported Falsely Winner NEW YORK, April 26.—The au thorities today are investigating a neat bit of "wire tapping" here which resulted in a number of pool proprie tors and handbook men being fieeced out of $30,000. Superstition was the horse chosen to bet on by the. wire tappers. He was quoted at 6 to 1 to win and 8 to a lor place in the mile feature race at Jamestown truck. Kormak was the logical favorite. As soon as the prices were posted, there was a concerted play on Superstition. The ’’wire tap irs’’ had the code in use, and after reporting Superstition winner, gave the regular O. K. 10 minutes later. The loss was so great in many bet ting rooms that the nouse bank roll was exhausted and payment of win nings on the succeeding races was postponed until today.

BUILDS DIRIGIBLE TO CARRY 75 PERSONS LOS ANGELES," April 26.—1n a building at No. 1810 South Main-st., arotiud which the Inmost secrecy has been maintained for the past two months, Prof. L. L. Hill, a well-known balloonist and builder of five success ful dirigible airships, ha* been work ing for months, and now has almost completed what he claims to be the largest passenger carrying dirigible airship in the world. The giant aircraft, for which the cigar-shaped gas bag has already been finished, measures 208 feet in length and 50 feet in diameter. It holds cubic feet of hydrogen gas. and when filled has a lifting capacity of 10,000 pounds.

PICKUPS FROM THE BIG LEAGUE FIELDS Demanding vengeance with all the earnestness of “Ten, 20 and 30” the Athletics went after the Yankees and just stole the game. It took 13 innings to do it, but the 13 hoodoo loomed large and portentous over the Highlanders. While Wagner carefully exam ined the make-up of a strange ob ject he picked up on the field—a baseball—Henry scored the Sen ators’ only run. Boston gar nered 4. Lajoie made three of the five hits the Naps got from Benz, but he couldn't win the game alone. Three stolen bases for Tinker helped materially in that Cub vic tory over the Cardinals. O’Toole worked in great shape. Striking out 10 men, but the Pi rates lost, just the same. The Giants swept up the debrie of the Phillies again. The Quak ers had only three regulars on the field.

While the crews of the New York Athletic club and the Arundel Boat club of Baltimore are now the most favorably looked upon as selections for the contests abroad other clubs In the country claim that an effort should be made to see if any other teams are faster.
