Metcalf
To Meet
Owens
It may cost Metcalf something
to turn his back on Jesse OVfrens.
The Ohio sensation recalls an in
cident sometime ago when he met
Metcalf in Chicago and running
up to the idol of the cinder path,
proffered his hand to congratu
late the wizard of Marquette.
Owens, who was then a high
school lad was snubbed by the
great Metcalf, who turned his
back, the story goes.
A week from Friday the two
will meet in Milwaukee in a 100
yard feature attraction and
Owens declares that he will “run
Metcalf off the track.” Owens,
breaker of records, declares that
he will make good.
ntjrcia l. g,. A. A A. A. Ilia
The Ohio State star, after
breaking three world records and
tying another in the Wtestern con
ference meet lust Saturday at
Ann Arbor' Mich, was invited to
day by Harvard to take part in
the I. C. A. A A. A. meet at Ilar
vurd Saturday. It was the firsl
time an outsider hase ever been
invited to participate in the east
ern classic.
Owens turned down the invita
tion, however, after a conference
with Coach I.arry Snyder and
Athletic Director L. W. St. John.
“After last Saturday's per
formances,” Snyder said, “it may
sound paradoxical to say Jesse i
not in the best of shape. Put that
is the fact”
.'•Suffira From Buck Injury
Owens, the coach said, is still
suffering from an injured back,
incurred more than two weeks age
when he and a fraternity brothei
tumbled down a flight of stair?
while wrestling. He has been un
der a physician’s care ever since
and has been ordered to refrain
from all training until Friday.
“He is taking heat treatment:
for the injury,” Coach Snyder
said, “but rest will prove the big
healer and that’s what he’s going
to get.”

Trouble Brews with N. Y. Cubans
As Com. Morton Sends out Edict
Where they play this week:
May 30: New York at Brook

Chicago at Homestead Griys
(Greenlee Field); Columbus at
Newark; 2 games in all cities.

cases and refuted them in otters.
New York Cubans just about
completed the circuit before
opening at home and despite the
fact that they are in bottom po
sition, drew a higher number of
paid admissions than any other
club in the loop. The scrappy
Islanders also have the distinc
tion of producing the first play
ers to be fined or suspended. Gar
cia was suspended for three days
in Pitsburgh, for grabbing Um
pire Crump. Perez, second base
man, nas been nned $20 and si's
lended for 30 calendar days ef

inning of the Cuhans-Grays iirst
;ame on Sunday, when Turner
called the runner out.'Tterez dis
puted the decision, pushed Um
ure Turner around and thre dirt

Adding to the jinx Which has
lounded the Pompez outfit, is the
unsettled controversy over Dick
Lundy, assigned to the Cubans by
>V Greenlee, when diffe ences with
his Newark employed < mid not be
ettled. Lundy was p rmitted to
day in the Crawford fubans se
cies, but forbidden 1 Commis
iiontr Morton on May 18, to rake
part in the series wi h the Col

games until further instructions
•vere issued.
Brooklyn nas need hard to

the best batting show® of the se
ries and settled down*to another

the league. Owner Manley, how
ever, has been right up in the
picture, buying, selling, trading,

the drastic move la t Friday of
releasing Ben Tayld as manager.

half. Their Decoration Day en

are being watched with interest.

The indefinite susp?nsion of
Jake Stevens is bein gheld as a
tause of what is considered a
Markup up of the Phila. Stars.
nUdisputed champs of last year
the Quaker City sharks reversed
their record on a recent trip to
Pittsburgh. Whereas, formerly,
Crawfords were always content
ed with an even break when meet
ing the Boldennten, Oscar Charles
ton managed to tack 3 straights
to his belt, which included a de
feat of Slim Jones. The same
teams meet on Decoration Day in
Philadelphia—and if the same
fighting spirit is there, McDonald
will be aiming at two games for
the holiday.

Phillips’
Stars To
Compete
Ten members of the New Wen
dell Phillins high school track
team will be out at Stagg Field,
Saturday June 1st, seeking to
qualify in the preliminary trials
of the City Prep Outdoor Track
meet. .* •
Those who are cjle to burn uo
the cinder paths and manage to
come in first or second, in one of
the many qualifying heats will be
able to run in the final round of
the Prep outdoor meet. The final
meet will be held a week later,
June 8th, also at Stagg field.
Both meets will begin at 10 a. m.
Coach Cecil Hillman nominated
the following boys as the outstand
ing speedsters to compete in the
meet. William Owens and Garfield
Lindsey are those who are entered
in the cenutry. Henry Castler and
James Conley are reputed to be
quite fleet on the foot when run
ning the 2201yard dash. Modest
Strickland is the only man enter
ed in the 440-yard dash. Strick
land recently placed second to
Ruiz in the state qualifying
rounds.
William Goldsmith is reputed to
be quite a hurdler, he is slated to
appear in both the low and high
hurdles. Ed Brown, D/tlmar
Mitchell, George Spencer and Her
bert Curtiss, are the milers on the
squad. The cream of the speed
sters were put together to form a
880 yard relay team, with results
as followsWilliam Goldsmith,
George Tones, Garfield Lindsay
and Bill Owens running as anchor
man.
While they managed to win one
game from the Cubans and two
from Columbus, these games were
not played in their own park, and
failed to impress the fans favor
ably. On the road, under Larry
Brown’s management, the Cole
crew is just as scrappy as ever.
Ousted from top place by the
Crawfords, they have held to a
close second and remain a dan
■jrajB'first half threat. One^of 1
ffle Wst tests, however, is expect
ed to result from the coming se
ries with the Homestead Grays.
Chicago meets the Poscymen on
Decoration Day at Greenlee Field
in two separate games and will
be host In Chicago on June 1, 2
and 3 \Vith an even break, Chi
cago will have a good chance, but
if unfortunate enough to drop the
series by ahy kind of margin,
might have an almost impposible
climb upward.
