IRISH CAPTURE ■ TRACK TITLE 5 0 — (I Lafayette. May 21 A well balanced 1 Notre Dame Back team Saturday brought back to the Irish school the state Back and field championship which it lost to Indiana at Blooming--9 ton last year. Notre Dame's mat gin of i' victory was less than a point, her total 1 I of 36 1-2 beating Indiana's total of 35 ; i-3. i: one new state rec: rd was set. when > Orval Martin, Purdue's middle distance Hash, sped over a rain-soaked Hack to 7 i win the mile run in the surprising time (f 4 minutes 20.6 seconds. Mjirtin strode into the lead at the start of the final lap. and although dogged all the I wav by Fields of Indiana, who also Hbrcke the previous record. , Three other records were endangerI ed but the performances fell slightly I short of record breaking caliber. Jack Elder of Notre Dame rail the 810 yards in 9.9 seconds, Fields of Indiana ran : the two-mile in 9 minutes 48 seconds, and Smith of Indiana Central missed the broad jump mark by half an inch when he leaped 22 feet 6 1-2 inches. The meet was a repetition of last yeai's affair, in that its outcome remained in doubt until the end. being j decided by the javelin throw. Indiana had a lead of one-sixth of a point be- | fore this event. Reinhart. Indiana's ■ javelin thrower who recently bettered the American college record with a ) heave of 215 feet 4 inches, today mil's- ! ed a swollen and bandaged arm which he injured in a dual meet with Purdue last week. Reinhart's best throw was 159 feet 8 inches, which was good for third place. Lavelle of Notre Dame | won the meet for the Irish by taking second place in the event, which was won by Sindelar (f Purdue with a toss of 169 feet. Contrasting with last year's meet, however, was the strength shown by the smaller schools. DePauw winner of the little state meet at Greencastle last week, was a real threat Saturday, scoring 28 14! points. Purdue took third place in the meet with 34 1-4 points. Other scores were Indiana Central Hi; Muncie normal 7: Oakland City 5; Manchester 4: Earlham 3; Rose Polly. 1. and Butler 1. Indiana I'niversity's undefeatedTnile relay team took an easy victory in the relay, with Aliromson, the thiid man. taking a good lead, which Stephenson, anchor man. increased.

hind the bat.” One explanation may bo that McGraw, despite ids surface optimism over the is'rfonnanee of Hogan as Hist string catcher, realized the need ■ f an older head behind the catcher’s mask. "Shanty" has he6n pounding tlie hall and winning games tor the Giants with his bat. lait the team play of the New York club Ins left something to he desired. This does not explain, however, why the Carditvi's were willing to part whh O’Farrell, one of the game’s ! best catchers, in exchange for tin outlielder of Harper's ability. The latter may prove a real help, and then 'again he may turn out to be just one i more St. Louis outfielder. A condit’on of the trade nt the time it was announced was that O'Farrell w:add have to report in condition to play. Bob broke a thumb last year towaids Hie close of the season, and aggrevated the injured member in practice games this spring as well as developing a sore arm which kept him on the bench most of tlie time after the regular season opened. It is possible that his condition is j worse than has been admitted and that his uses ilness to a ball club really is that of a second-string back slop. McGraw and Bill McKenchie kn w more about this trade than they are willing to tell the fans. There is always the possibility, too. tiiat friction developed between O'Farrell ami McKenchie. A manager, reduced to the ranks, mr.y profess ) all Hie willingness- in tlie world to | fol lox?* his new boss, and still be unable to resist the temptation to have a finger in tlie pie.
