TRYOUTS TODAY
CAMBRIDGE. MASS.. June B.
With ideal weather conditions
prevailing, the. pick of Amer
ican college, club and school ath
letes gathered here, today to com
pete at the Harvard stadium in the
Eastern Olympian tryouts. It was
expected to be the greatest meet
ever held in this country, and over
20.000 persons were expected to
witness the contests.
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. in.
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
the field of track event-. Very few
of the men who have gained hon
i 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
, l ies at Stockholm, despite the fact
that the\ will he pitted against the
best in the world.
- SYKES DEAL In A
EARL MAY GO OR STAY
The Earl Sykes deal is in the air,
John 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
will not let him go until he is certain
that he does not class up to Cracker
*t and a rd-.
Dobbs is anxious to give Danzig his
release. The big fellow is far from
well and ought to he out of baseball.
EARLY GAME TODAY. AS
PELICANS MUST‘BEAT IT’
Yesterday's game was the second in
a row which was postponed on account
of rain. The field was a lake and there
w asn't a chance of anything in the way
of a contest.
Today's game will be called at 2:45
o'clock, because the Pelicans have to
leave for New Orleans, where they are
‘ scheduled, as usual, to play a Sundae
ga me.
