ATHLETES IN BIG
i THYOUTS TODAY
)
\ AMBpiDGE. MASS., June B.
I Witrf ideal weather conditions
the pick of Amer
ican , college, club and school ath
letes gathered here toda%- to com
pete at the Harvard stadium in the
Eastern Olympian tryouts. It was
expected to be the greatest meet
ever held in |his country, and over
20,000 persons were expected to
witness the don tests.
The air was cool and crisp, but
was tempered by bright sunlight.
The athletes declared that they
could not ask for better conditions.
The men who make the best show
ing will be selected to represent
the United States at the Olympic
games in Stockholm, Sweden, this
summer. Almost every athlete of
note in the East and middle West
was entered in the events, and rec
ords were expected to be broken.
The first event was scheduled to
begin at 2 p. m.
With three and four, and in some
cases even more, headliners en
tered in the different contests, in
dications pointed toward many
thrilling battles for supremacy in
i . the field of track events. Very few
* of the men who have gained hon
ors on the track and field in the
past few years were missing.
Judging from form, the winners
in today’s events stand a good
chance of duplicating their victo
ries at Stockholm, despite the fact
that .hey will be pitted against the
best in the w’orid.
SYKES DEAIIn AIR;
EARL MAY GO OR STAY
The Ears Sykes deal is in the air.
Joan Dobbs wants the man for the
Montgomery team and he feels that he
has what virtually amounts to a prom
ise of Sykes.
At the same time Manager Hemphill
wil not let him go until he is certain
that he does not class up to Cracker
standards.
Dobbs is anxious to give Danzig his
ralease. The big fellow is far from
well and ought to be out of baseball.
EARLY GAME TODAY, AS
PELICANS MUST‘BEAT IT’
Yesterday’s game was the second in
r a row which was postponed on account
j ‘ of rain. The field was a lake and there
wasn’t a chance of anything In the way
I ' of a contest. *
Today’s game will be called at 2:45
< o’clock, because the Pelicans have to
leave for New Orleans, where tftey are
scheduled, as usual, to play a Sunday
game.
Monday the Crackers open with
Nashville.

The other day when Washington was

Schaeffer spoke to the stdnds. Said he,
“latdies and these are sad
scenes we are gazing upon. It is almost
sad enough to bring tears to the eyes of
a rocking horse to see our boys hitting
your pitcher so hard. I thank you.”
And he escaped with his life,.

Keeping a team going is a cinch if the

VANDERBILT TO
TOUR 4 STATES
NASHVILLE, TENN., June B.—lm
mediately after school is out on June
19, the Vanderbilt university baseball
team, undisputed Southern college
champions tor 1912, will begin a barn
storming trip through Tennessee. Ala
bama, Georgia nad Mississippi, playing
the best amateur teams they can find.
Manager 4ack Sevier is arranging for
the trip now, and has already booked a
ood many dates. This will be the first
trip of its kind ever undertaken by a
Southern college team, Tend. If the team
is able to realize its expenses, it will
probably be repeated next summer.
Every regular member of the cham
pionship team, with but two exceptions,
will make the trip, among them being
Wilson Collins, the leading pitcher of
the team, who won six games and lost
none during the past season. Collins is
thought by many to be the best col
lege pitcher in the South, and has been
offered a contract by the Washington
Americans. However, he has two more
years at the university, and, being a
football star as well as baseball, ex
-1 pects to keep his amateur standing un
questioned until he leaves college.
During the past season Vanderbilt
never lost a series in baseball, winning
fifteen games and losing but three—one
to Sewanee, one to Georgia and one
to Auburn. The leading batter of the
team was Freeland, of football fame,
who hit .338 in eighteen games.
Those who will take the trip this
summer are Ray Morrison, captain;
Freeland, first base; Lyle, second base;
' Llpyd. shortstop; Turner, third base;
Hardtige, left fl-lrt; Morgan, center
field; Covington, right field; Kent Mor
rison. Wilson Collins, Bob Harris and
Herbert Jones, pitchers.
