Annual Track Meet From
'California Youngsters.
' 1 -'" (Sjwclal nifpatcb to Tha Joornil.)
Stanford University. Palo Alto. Cal
Teh. Si. Stanford's freshmen are show
ing enough claae to warrant the belief
that they will turn tne raoies on me
blue and (old freshlea anti break the
hoodoo by bringing home a victory In
tht Intercollegiate freshman track meet
tola year. Berkeley haa w,on both of
the former meets. The cardinal sup
' porters expect to see the Stanford
. youngsters break r even in the field
events and more than worst California
, In tha running eventa. The moat flag-,
' rant weakness la In the field events,
when one man Bellah. who made soma
wonderful performancea In preparatory
Mrhool meets standa without any sup-
port from his team matea. In tha In
ierscholaatlc last year Mellah was tha
. closest competitor to Munn. who won
' tha Individual cup, and Munn will ba
ea tha Berkeley freshman team.
Pomeroy, former atar of tha Palo
Alto high school, la Stanford a beat man
in tha aprtnta. Ha waa tha A. A. L.
r champion for two ycara In tha 100 and
220-yard dashes and like several other
fast sprinters who have run under
cardinal colors in the paat la a native
Oregonlan. He halls from Fulton Park,
; Portland. Ha la counted on for 10
points again, aa he haa always been in
high school. Of late be has been run
ring close to Holman and Reed, two
Portlandera who are varsity stara.
Stanford also haa Smltherum. a faat
sprinter from the San Jose high school,
who placed In the 100 In tha lnter-
: scholastic last year.
TrtatiBM Baa Quarter Kan.
' ' On of tha freahmen la already the
' best quarter man on the track. Thla
man la -Brown from Pomona prepara
tory achool. Ha haa defeated Miller,
tha Stanford atar, twica thla aeason and
alao when they were contestants for
academic honors In "prep" achool meets.
Other good men in tha quarter are
Wheeler and Wyman. Trainer "Dad"
Woulton claims he never loses the 440,
and It seema aa If he will uphold hla
reputation. Ha counts on Brown also
for the half mile, Thompson, the for
mer Lick captain, and Porter of Santa
Barbara. Thompson haa aeveral times
won tha S80 In tha bay countlea meet
and la looked upon aa a consistent per
former. Porter haa run the- half In
8:03 In "prep" and haa plenty of en
durance. i
For tha mile and two-mile events no
freshman aa yet standa out conspicu
ously enough to allow a forecast, but
. Thompson or Porter could be ahlfted
to tha mile, leaving Brown to take care
of tha half. Blever. a new man from
Spokane, won the novice event last Fri
day, but the time waa alow 6:07.
, Bella a Wonder.
In tha field eventa Bellah Is all Stan
ford can look to for a showing. He
vaulta 11 feet t Inches and broad Jumps
21 feet. The best Munn of California
haa dona with the pole la alao 11-6, and
these two men should give a good con
test' whan they meet for tha first time
under college colore, in the high jump

rlon of the P. A. L. In tha weights
Stanford will have one of the Dole
boys, who la expected to do things like
hla brothers In the past have done. He
Is 6 feet I Inchea tall and weighs 190

President Sullivan Predicts
Oregon Boy Will Break
Prinstein's Kecord.
Many experts on athletics predict
positively that H. F. Porter, the high
Jumper of the Irish American Athletic
club, and Dan Kelly, the sprinter and
broad Jumper from tha west, will each
astabtlah a new world's record In the
Jumps" before the end of the outdoor
athletic aeaaon of the year 1908, says
tha New York World.
President Jamea E. Sullivan of the
Amateur Athletic union ia one of the
men who haa aeen both of these ath
letes in competition, and ha declared
yesterday that he believes both of the
athletes will make new records in their
specialties this summer.
I think that Porter will come very
ear to establishing a record In tha
high Jump the vary first time that lie
competes In thla event outdoors," said
Sullivan yesterday. "And I also be
lieve that If Kelly trains faithfully It
will not bo long before he will ba Jump
ing dangerously close to tha record
made by Myer Priustein."
Although Kelly gained most of hi
athletic fame by running 100 yards In
what waa decided to be 9 3-6 aeconda.
since his arrival In the eaat he haa done
remarkably well in the broad Jump. He
has not shown any surprising form as
a "printer, but he haa often leaped far
ther than 24 feet In practice, and he
won the national championship at
Jamestown last full with a leap of 23
feet 11 inches. He haa been training
hard since then, and his friends declare
that he Is In condition to Jump farther
than ever this summer.
Porter haa alao been showing remark
ably well In practice recently. Since
the beginning of the Indoor aeaaon Por
ter has Jumped higher than six feet in
every one of his competitions. At the
Columbia university games held at Mad
ison Square Garden on Saturday night
Porter won the high Jump event with a
leap of 6 feet 3U inchea. This is about
two Inches less than the world'a record
of t feet b Inches made by M. F. Swee
ney in 1895. and Porter expecta to beat
Sweeney'a mark before the and of the
outdoor season.
Porter first became prominent In the
athletic world while a student at Cor
nell. In his time at Ithaca he defeated
the best men at college In the high
Jump and was recognized as one of the
best collegiate Jumpers In the country.
After leaving college Porter came to
this city and Joined the I. A. A. C.
Since he became a member of the Irish
Americans Porter has Implicitly fol
lowed the Instructions of veterans, with
the result that hi is today regarded as
the coming world'a champion at his ape
clalty. WABASH TEAM GETS

Don't Be Discouraged !
Don't Glv Up Hope !
There Is Help For You !
Act Today !
In my very extensive practice I have
learned a few truths that are undeniably
of interest to EVERY MAN. First of all
I find that the very serious and so-called
"incurable" cases are due usually to NEG
LECT and DELAY. Again, I know that
many men suffer FOR YEARS and prac
tically RUIN THEIR HEALTH FOR
EVER trying to dose themselves with
some patent nostrum that never could cure.
NO TREATMENT AT ALL is what
"Cheap" treatment means in nine cases out
of tin. The last state of the man is worse
than the first. Just before you go a line
further in this anncAincement, stop and
ask yourself as to whether YOU are fol
lowing in the foolish footsteps of the man
who NEGLECTS himself? Are YOU try
ing to cure yourself with nostrums? Are
YOU looking for treatment that will not
1
cure? If you are, it is certain that you will
regret it. It is NEVER TOO LATE to
get on the right path, but at the same time
remember that you cannot get there too
soon. The best help in the world is none
too good for you; you cannot get it too quickly
you at the lowest tee possible.
YOU CAN PAY WHEN CURED
I CURE PERMANENTLY Weakness, Varicocele, Organic
Weakness, Debility, Losses, Hydrocele, Stricture, Concentrated Dis
