New York, Jan. 3. Seldom in the!
history of the national unlor indoor'
athletic chamlonpships has there ;
been such a wealth of runners, leap-1
ers and weight hurlers of high grade
as are entered for the annual event
to be pulled off in the Twenty-second
Regiment Armory . here tomorrow
night. Cities as widely seperated as
Roston, Chicago and New Orleans,
with many of the Intervening points
have sent their best performers to
compete for honors. Colleges and
clubs alike will be well represented.
Among the big colleges that will take
part are Yale. Harvard. Cornell and
Pennsylvania.
The list of events Includes the 60
yards,' 220-yards, 600-yards.; 100C
yards and two mile runs, one in'l

the 12 pound shot.
In view of the many star perform
ers included among the entries it
seems almost certain that some of
the marks in the eleven events will
be displaced by better figures before
the evening's program Is concluded.
The battle is being waged between
Willard Saulsbury, Democratic nat
ional committeeman, and politicians
who are strongly opposed to the se
lection of Saulsbury for the senator
ship. Friends of Saulsbury argue
that he is entitled to the senatorship
because he was one of the original
Wilson boomers in- Deleware. They
also point out the fact that he has
been spending his money for years to
elect his supporters to the legislature.

.Minnesota LesrMatur Meets Soon
St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 3. Members
of the Minnesota legislature are al
ready putting In an appearance in
anticipation of the opening of the bi

The general sentiment expressed by
those already on the ground Is that
the session will be marked by the
transaction of much Important bual?
ness. One of the first items of busi
ness will be the selection of a Unit

perfunctory task for the law
makers, as the perferentlal vote at
