Annual Nebraska State High School Track and Field Championship Meet on Tap This Afternoon Large Entry List in Big Classic Scheduled for Nebraska ‘U’Field V HE annual slate track and field championship will he held at Lincoln today, and accord ing to reports from the officials the en try list is expected to exceed all previ ous years. The race for the honors this year should prove very close with many good teams In the field with Hastings, Fre mont, Lincoln and Omaha Central seeming to he the out standing in the upper division. There are several other high schools in the state that have one or two good men, but fall short in the ath letes to carry off honors when it comes to counting the points. Gothen burg, Fuller, Columbus and Geneva all have some outstanding individuals but are not expected to be among ♦he high three, although they are apt furnish stiff competition fo the larger schools. Has Strong Team. Hastings has a well balanced team and the outstaters should rank high with Vermilion. Black and Marvel heading the list of performers. Lin coln High looks blight and seems to have the best figures turned' In this year in several events that look like sure points for the Tied and Black. Durisli with a heave of 113 feet seems to be the cream of the discus tossers in the state while Fleming in the high hurdles and Weber in the die tance evets should boost the Links’ ' total. Fremont and Omaha Central also •••ome in high mention. The Fremont team has two extra good spiked shoe artists in Chambers and Evans, while Coach Dow has several others who • an easily add points for the Gold and Black. Evans made fast time in the 220-yard dash nt the Midland college track meet two weeks ago and cov-1 ered the distace in 23 seconds flat. He is also fast In the century, being able to step off the hundred in 10:1. Chambers is outstanding in the field events being able to enter the weights and jumps for several tallies. The Fremont half mile relay team appears to be one of the "state’s beat. Often Third Title. Coach Schmidt of Omaha Central j has turned out two championship ^ track teams in the last few years and the Purple are flickering bright again this year. Prospects for the 1323 Nebraska State High school track and field championship at Omaha Central took a decided tumble yesterday afternoon when the high school authorities an nounced that Luster Price, star : trackster, would not be able to rep- . resent the Purple at -Lincoln this ' afternoon on account of scholastic ineligibility. Price was declared in eligible late yesterday afternoon and Coadi Schmidt of the Purple spiked j shoe performers had to change his j plans for entrants in the title meet ; to be held today. The dusky athlete | was entered in four events and was j expected to account for nearly 15 j points for the locals. Price has tied tlie state record in the middle distance and was looked ; u'lon as the next smasher of the 220 ..d 440-yard dash records. He was to wear the Purple colors in the 220 410 and 880-yard events as well as j the broad jump this afternoon. Cen tral track prospects have been weak ened decidedly by ineligibility rul- j ings this season with three cinder i path artists smearing the list. Thomas who won the discus throw at Lincoln ' last year, and who was a romer in - the shot and hurdles and Cogan and Price both good dash men. Cards and Phillies Set New Record New York, May II.—St. Louis and Philadelphia National league sluggers set a new major league record today when they knoeked out 10 home runs in a game at Philadelphia. The best previous mark for two clubs in a single game was nine cir cuit clouts, established by Cincinnati and Poston National league teams In 1804 and duplicated the following year by Cincinnati and Chicago. The latter record was made in a seven inning contest. The best American league mark was eight homers, regis tered by Philadelphia and Detroit in 1321. "Cy" Williams’ feat in walloping three homers ties the modern record made last year by l<ea Williams of the Browns, ad duplicated by Walter Henline of the Phillies, but is one less than the all-time record of four homers in a singh game, hung up by n. L. Lowe of tiie Boston club in 1804. and equalled In 1806 by Ed Dele hanty of the Philadelphia Nationals. Tank Records Fall Ity AMorliitot Press.

Preakness Stakes to Be Run Today Develops Into Great Betting Feud Baltimore. May 11.—The Freakness i stakes has developed into one of the greatest betting feuds this country has ever seen between Harry Sinclair, i owner of Zev and Rigei, his repre ■ sentativea In the Pimlico classic, and I J. S. Cosden, who owns the high-class j 3-year-old Martingale. Sinclair and | Cosden made millions in oil and each maintains the most powerful rating stables in America. All Wall street is looking on with abated breath at this gigantic strug gle for hundreds of thousands of dollars and the honor and glory that goes with developing a Preakness win ner. Jt became known on the street some days ago that Cosden has wagered $60,000 on his representative, getting an average price of a to 1, and It is said he is ready to dump the pro verbial ton of money in the iron-men tfidny, when the betting opens at the | track. On top of this came the decision "f Hairy S nclalr to send Zev to Pim lico from Jamaica for the race, which was In reality a challenge to the I Cosden faction. Fearing another avalanche of money .the bookies in stalled the Rancocas entry. Zev and Rigel. favorite at 6 to 3. which seems an abnormally short price consider ing the even caliber of the field. As a natural consequence the Cosden 1 ntry went up a point to 6 to 1. Both factions are supremely confident each can carry away the $50,000 prize. Sam Hildreth is said to have made the statement that Zev could give Mar tingale and Dunlin each 10 poundsand beating any time they met. Trainer Billy Garth, announced after Martin gale's recent victory, that the Mar tinet colt would win both the Freak j ness and the Kentucky derby and that he would welcome Zev as a start I cr (n both events. Somebody is go I ing to get burned and scarred badly. Zev and Rigel are doubtless the logical favorites, but to the student of the I form the ra< e appears more open than : many will adml".
