Record Javelin Throw By Associated Press. New Orleans, Aug. 7.—Jeff Van, a Jackson barracks coast artilleryman and member of the Meteor Athletic Club, yesterday bettered his South- em record for the javelin throw, hurling the spear 153 feet 9-10 inch es. His mark a wee^t previous was 144 feet 2 inches and in June he set the first Southern record at 1,36 feet. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦ ♦ ♦ ^ CHIP DIAMONDS. ♦ ^ ♦ .Jimmy Hayes looked as if some one us for the first trial.

It's a good thing Sui'.day followed that uame Saturday, it gave the fans a chance to get over the effect of that ninth inning stunt the Heavenly Hornets pulled off. Jimmy Hayes lookes as if some one had turned over his little red wagon when those two hits were garnered. (yarman made that run possible by using his head a& weli as his feet. Good base rtuming helps all the time and we are a little short on tliai same stuff. 'I'hat swat of Tommies was no slouch. At that, he wasn't loafing on the circuit. ' We believe that dod rotted jinx has slipped back in the grandstand. Triturate is not doing his share in lo(^king for it either. Shame on you. Let's be optimiHs for this week, an.\how, “Trit.'’ How about it?

No one on the Anderson team knew' tli8 sport writer on the Daily Mail. He must be hiding his light under a gill measure. The silver lining of tlie particular ly is hard to locate. dark cloud that is hovering around the liorizon of our baseball destiny certain We are going to dig into it this week though. It certainly w^as not the fault of the fans last week. They did their part and are going to perform the same way this week. It's easy enough to be pleasant when life goes by like a s-ong, but the man worth while is the man v.ho can smile —well, when the team is on the down hill, there is a jinx' in the grandstand, the goddess of luck has left us and everything generally is on the bum. The life of a sporting writer is any thing but a “grand sweet song” when j he has to grind out dope for a losing team. They all look alike to the Patriots. They trim the Twins, at the top of (he list, and then chase down to tlie cellar to grab Greenville's goat. I If w'e don’t come to the turn in that lane pretty soon w'e will be compelled ' to either knock off a few panels or jump the fence. Our intentions were good to mal treat those Electricians, but some thing slipped. We declare for “slip- pens.” We’ve got our fingers crossed on the games here this week. This thing of forecasting what is to happen is ail right with the exception of having to explain about it after wards. Somebody has insulted the Goddess of Luck. He will have to apologize and then some before that fractious lady will relent. We always thought those of her sex w'ere sympathetic. Well she has knocked a dent in that illusion. And look how bad we need all the smypathy stuff that can be located. Can’t somebody suggest something ihat will help. Why don’t some fan breeze in with a few s’uggestions. They w^ould fill up space and maybe somebody would read them. The only thing w'e bar is poetry, be cause it is summer now, and besides. We use coal in the office stove. Nobody would have thought they could hit Shees. Well, you know that I^fty Russell fellow has been touched up. When we come to the end of this sheet we are going to stop. You can't expect a fellow to w'rite all the time. Here’& the end right now. too, so GOOD NIGHT. ♦ ^ ♦ STANDING OK THE CLUBS. ♦ ♦ ♦ NATIONAL LEAGUH, W’on. Lost. P.O.

Cleveland, O., Aug. 7.—An attempt by IHilan, C. K. G. Billings, cham pion black gelding, to beat the world's trotting record to w'agon. was the chief of the events anticipated by thousands of racing partons w'ho journeyed to the North Randall race track here today to witness the opening of five days of racing under the auspices of the grand circuit. Uhlan’s record to a wagon is 2:01. It was made on the North Randall track in 1910. The w'orld’s record, 2 minutes flat, is held by Lou Dillon. Bud Goodwin Will Compete. St. I^uis. Aug. 7.—“Bud” Goodwin, or New York, according to a letter re ceived today, will compete in the fifth annual national A. A. IJ. ten- mile championship swim in the Mississ ippi river here August 19. Goodwin won the race last year by a foot from Michael McDermott, of Chicago. Glldden Tour May Go Through. Special to The News. Durham, Aug. 7.—Dr. Arch Chest- ham has received from representatives of tile Glidden tour that its next trip through the south may come this w-ay and pass Durham. But one thing stands in the w’ay of it and that is Durham’s lack of hotel accommodation. In that tour consist ing of 500 cars, there will be at the least 3,500 people and tney w'ould ut terly demoralize Durham. The big hotel project begun some time ago has not amoimted to anything yet and the building is purely problematical. Within the past few days a small-sized hotel has been begun by Capt. E. J. Parrish and the largest one here can accommodate a few, but Durham w^ill hardly be able to entertain these tour ists unless the public opens its homes. This is expected and the-city may go after it.

Detroit, Mich., Aug. 7.—Fifty thous and members of the T^oyal Order of Moose are expected to attend the na tional convention of the organization which will begin here on August 21 and continue five days.
