ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH SATURDAY. MAY 18. 1020 High School Field, Final Events Slated for Today Pick' of Athletes Will Perform at Champaign Contests CHAMPAIGN, 111., May 18 prime pick of Illinois High Sctlool track and field stars, repre- ssmtlng 51 schools, flocked to Me- mArlal Stadium today seeking victories In the 35th renewal of the University of Illinois championship meet. Oak Park, of Chicago, led In number of qualifiers In yesterday's trials, placing men in six out of 13 events Lawrencevllle a downstate school, was second with five. Ralph Metcalfc, Negro sprinter from Tilden Tech, Chicago, was favored to repeat his victories of a year ago when his team won the state title.

Mctcalfe won his semifinal heats in the 100 and 220 yard dashes without being pressed. Eggleston, Hyde Park, appeared to be the best of the hurdlers after his exhibitions In leading qualifiers In both barrier events yesterday Orlnus, Frankfort, established himself as the class of the weight men by putting the 12 pound shot 47 feet, 91-3 Inches, and heaving the discus 122 feet, 11 3-4 Inches, to show the way to qualifiers In both events. Tilden Tech's chances of repeating were dimmed by the loss of Kneafsey and Seaburg, a pair of stars who were not' entered in the trials a week ago, because of injuries, and were barred from competition by tfie state high school athletic authorities. COCKER A New York scribe wrote that Gen- rig never would surpass Ruth In home runs because Buster suffered an inferiority complex. A man who can smack three homers in a game with an inferiority complex ought to see what he can do by being a hyprochon- driac.

Bob Meusel socked a homer with three on base. Probably it will be discovered that ho did it out of the depths of utter modesty. Nicy Cullop is said to have a weakness for high balls. Grover Alexander has a sweet tooth for those things, too. Mac Smith once lost his clubs, borrowed a seat and made a new course record.

And ever since duffers have been borrowing clubs. The average duffer, with 34 clubs in his bag, won't lend you one, however, without giving you, in about 3000 words, the story that has made that stick sacred to him. Every time Iw makes iood shct hr anoints the club carefully, makes a lengthy note on his mental card index and files away the lumber for further reference. He may use the same club twice in a season. Hot Action! And A Study of Faces Remarkable action pictures, taken at the recent Drake and Penn Relays nnd other collegiate events, offer an Interesting study of men's faces under the stress and strain of strenuous competition.

No. 1 shows Eric Krenz, discus champion of Stanford, as he heaved the Grecian platter 161 feet 7 7-8 inches, new record. No. 2 shows the phenomenal Claude Bracey of Rice Institute, catching his breath after he beat a Held of crack 100- yard-dash men In 9 4-5 at the Drake Relays. Bracey violates sprinting traditions as he Is nearly six feet tall nnd 175 pounds.

3 Is Dave Adelman of Georgetown, pictured heaving the shot 47 feet 4 1-4 Indies to win that event at the Penn Relays. No. 4 shows Beali of Oklahoma Baptist finishing first in the mile relay at Drake. Not another runner was anywhere near when Bcall finished. Guiding Your Child A NEW COMPLAINT By Alice Judson Pcale It used to be the fashion to complain that children had too much of a will of their own; that they headstrong in their impulses and shockingly persistent in getting what they wanted.

Now we have a new complaint. The modern nursery school teacher, who see rnany( children each year, asserts that she finds them entirely too plastic, too easily persuaded, too readily diverted from their genuine interests. She feels It to be one of her chief duties to protect the young child's enbryonlc personality from the enroachments of dominating grownups and older children. A parent, an older playmate, may readily play devasting part in the life of a small child. Adult approval and disapproval place values on the types of response which are not important to the child's own development.

In trying to please his superiors he follows paths which are not the ones of real growth for him. Especially does the influence of conalities tend to take the child away from his attack on his immediate physical enviroment and make him play upon the theme of sociability and personal response. The child needs a background of security in his parents' love and interest, but he needs to be free, to weave his patterns of self initiated activities, and to register his own individual responses. The nursery school is to achieve with relative ease what at home will find great difficulty in Twilight Baseball League To Open Season Monday No. 5 Is'one of the most unusual action pictures ever taken, showing as it does the length of a hurdler's jump as well ns offering a study of form.

Left to right arc Everett Utlerback of Pittsburgh, Tom Churchill of Oklahoma and Alden Holsinger of Jmiiata. NO. 6 Is an interesting study of starting form as displayed by Barney Berlinger of Pennsylvania. Notice the contraction of face and shoulder muscles as Berlinger prepares for a mighty effort. Churchill is shown again In a remarkable instant of action In No.

No. 9 shows Clarion Cosh of Georgetown, winning the 100-meter dash from Churchill, as the two men, tense-faced and jaws clenched, swept up to the finish tape.

Ben Hedges of Princeton Is shown In No. 10, leaping 6 feet 1 inch to win the Jump at the Penn Belays. The end of the two-mile Penn Relay Is pictured in No. 11, as Gist of Chicago breasts the tape ahead of Phil Edwards. Edwards ran with the grace and speed of a deer, but could not overcome the lead by Chicago's first three runners.

Bethalto News The Alton Twilight Baseball League will play its opening game Monday at 5:30 p. m. on the Riverfront Park. Winklers and Tannery will play the first game of the season with Faulstichs and Knights of Columbus meeting on Tuesday evening. The other game for the first week will be the Knights of Columbus and Standard Oil on Thursday night.

All of the five teams are set to go. Final meeting of the managers was called lasl; 'night at theyRecrea- tion office and two new rules for the Twilight League were ar, follows: 1. Any player signing cards with two different teams in the Alton Twilight League shall automatically suspend himself from the said league for the entire season of 1929. In such a case the player shall be allowed a hearing before the Arbitration Board of the Alton Twilight Baseball League. 2.

Any manager who is proved guilty of paying any player for playing with his team in the Alton doing, we can, however, resolve ot let our youngster find things out for himself. We can abstain from intruding our personalities, our standards, when he is engrossed in his own pursuits. A good share of his dm- we can leave him alone with plenty of good play materials. We can protect him from the presence of overwhelming older children while we seek for him companions of his own age. THE UNITED STATES BUREAU OF STANDARDS at Washington, D.

C. Thought enopfjH of the problem of cleaning furs to issue a pamphlet No. 22, giving in detail the proper method of Dry Cleaning Furs. We have adopted the method recommended in this pamphlet and it is our authority for the statement. "WE PROPERLY CLEAN FURS" Our fire-proof storage vaults are at your service for the protection of your Heavy Winter Garments.

The cost is slight, being only of the value you place on the garments with a minimum'charge of JOc per garment in addition to our.regular cleaning charge. "Store Your Winter Garments and Be Safe" "At Clote As Your Telephone" 318 East Broadway Phone 844 CLEANING "Craftsmen in Keeping Things New' Twilight League shall be suspended from tile league for the remaindPr of the season. The manager and the player (or players) who accepted the money shall be suspended. It was felt by all managers present that these (wo rules were needed very much; the first, because some players have caused unlimited trouble by signing with two different teams and then leaving it to the managers to settle which team he should play with. It was felt that if the player did not have enough responsibility on himself to get his release before signing with another club, that he should not play in the league.

Many little arguments have been had in the past due to this act by the players and it is hoped that this new ruling will save the managers and the Recreation Department a great deal of trouble. Tile second ruling merely, follows up the principle that the City Recreation Department has attempted to follow in past years with regards to paying the players for their services in the Twilight League. This league is conducted for the recreation that js in it and hot merely for some one to try nnd make it a profitable enterprise. Teams Open in Diamond Ball Loop The Diamond Ball League will hold its opening Monday also at the Riverfront Park at p. m.

Both the American and National Leagues will begin play nt that time. The schedule for the first week is as follows: American League May vs First M. E. May Supply vs Independents. May vs DcMolays.

The teams who are in the leagues have all their cards in and everything will be set to go.

The Recreation Department has hart men working all week at the Riverfront on the Diamond Ball diamonds preparing the grounds and puttinR up backstops, so now all that is needed is for the rain to hold off until the league can get away to a good start. Players Needed in Junior Loop The Junior Twilight League will not open its regular playing schedule Monday, May 20 as two of the teams are not quite set to go yet.

Kelly Is Smarter When Jack Hendrlcks was asked In his Orlando spring training camp for the nama of his first, baseman he rlidn't hesitate a minute. "George Kelly is our first baseman," he said. "And he's a damn good one." Kelly Is a good first baseman. Perhaps he is not ns nglln aa ho was when he was with the Giants but certainly he is much smarter than he was when he reported to McGraw. Long George was a regular hick when lie went to New York and at the time he joined the club there wero two other very unsophisticated nth- Ices on the Toney and Phil Douglas, pitchers.

Than He Was Here One day in the Giant clubhouse, a few clays niter Kelly had been there, a young hustler who worked around the ball park tipped them off to a great party. He told them there waa going to be one of those dances that the police raid and that h'e could get them tickets for $2.50 each. Kelly, Toney and Douglas ran for their bank rolls and grabbed Uw tickets. The young salesman Instructed them to get on the elevated and ride down town ns far as it went and they wouold be right at the Battery where the big tlancc was to be held. Taken for a Ride The three nobles mounted the elevated and rode so long that they became suspicious.

They dismounted at Fourteenth street and approached a cop. "Where's the Battery?" they asked the cop, who happened to recognize them. "It's way down town," the copper answered. "What you want down at the Battery? Is there a mill down there?" Fearful lest the dance be tipped off to the force Toney and Douglas wouldn'nt say anything, but Kelly came up with his ticket. The copper read it and save them the laugh.

Home for Fish "And you're smart ball players?" he said. "These tickets call for admission to the Aquarium. You know what the Aquarium is? No? Well, it's a house full of fish and you don't have to pay anything to get in and It's closed at night." They never got their two bucks and a half back because they were afraid if they said anything to the vendor about It that the other fellows would find out about It. 1928 Dodge Bros.
