beat Pea re tomorrow In the half mile
,: ' Preliminaries Art Sifters"
To the unitlated, it' might be wel
to explain the process ot a large and
Important track meet . Where over
300 athletes are entered It is to pos
sible to pit all entries in one event
against each other, hence the thin
ning out process, The men pave, pre
viously been assembled in seCtibnfl.
All entries for the 100 yard dash are
separated In groups of 10. Each
group Is run separately and the vin-
ners of first and second places In
each group are thrown against each
other in the finals tomorrow. This
is true in all track events, but in the
field,, each contestant is given three
trials the day of the preliminaries,
and the nine highest are then grouped
on the day of the finals.
Much depends on what is accom
plished here today , when it comes to
predicting tomorrow's outcome. The
management has rather "got on" to
La Grande's strength and consequent
ly the teams from the beet town are
sent against the fastest In the pre
liminaries. However, taking for
granted that Heidenriah, Millerlng,
Carpy, Meyers and perhaps the two
Boltons qualify in the various events
lines Id the relay, La Grande will
here this forenoon, and the team qua-
have aboutthis combination tomorrow
Feare will run the half mile In
about 2.04 while 2.06 took it last year;

about 26, while 27 2-5 took It last1

10 feet, six Inches, his last. year's
