U. college, and scholastic tor for the season of 1910. Every section of the country is represented and the list furnishes a remarkable indication of the increase of athletic proficiency among all classes of com petitors. Secretary Rubien la bis article out lining the various combinations for the A. A. U. records writes, in part, as fol lows: "In selecting an all American team, BO) double selections are made, one man being chosen for each event. The list includes the backbone of the team which would have represented this country In the 1916 Olympic games had they been held at Berlin as scheduled. One of the most difficult positions to select is the name of the man to head the lint I for the I'M) yards run; My selections are Loomis for the 100 and Ward for the .220. Ward was the-'sprinting sensation of the year, winning both the 100 and 220 at the national championships, ljoomis proved tl. be the fastest indoor printer during the winter, winning the national championship at 60 yards in - the record time of 6 2-6 seconds. Dur ing the summer his high jumping and broad Jumping slowed him a trifle, but after hllT defeat in the national 100 he won .the N. Y. A. 0. special in 10 sec ondsand defeated Ward in every start in Sweden and Norway, doing the 100 meters in 10 !M0 seconds. J. E. Meredith created worlds rec ords for the quarter and half mite, but had worthy opponents in E. C. Riley, B. Diamond and T. J. ilnlpm In '4W and W.J. Uinghaoi, Don Scott, L. Scud der and 1- V.

Simp son's hurdling was the sensation of the year and his world's record of 144 sec onds U n remarkable performance. Fred Murray was easily the best 220 yards low hurdler.

A!iernarie a, -in alarmed about 12:3 Friday night to find that the holler room of the Hiiuggs Lumber I'ompany bad caught on tire and there appean-tl to, le considerable danger of a sprea.I.

However, the boiler room was practically destroyed. Mr. Snuggs states that he carried insurance on the build ing sufficient to practically protect him against the loss sustained. (Special to The News and Observer) Albemarle, Jan. L The full facts of a strange experience of two of the "boys" of Albemarle have just come to light This strange and startling ex perience) happened a few nights ago, about 12:30, when the "boys' started home from up town. It seems a stray hog had lost its way and, aeeing the two young men about to turn the street corner, and being desirous of the com panionship of some one, followed them. After it quietly walked behind them fur about half a block without raising any particular disturbance oue of the men got interested and asked his companion what he thought of the swine's strange and affectionate conduct, whereupon they stopped and one of them shuffled his feet on the sidewalk, thinking he wonld frighten (ho animal, but alas, in vaiu, for promptly thereupon, instead of the hog running away in great fright as the 'boy"had expected, with a "Whoof, whoof" (to use their language), the hog made a dive at the boys, whe lied iu great confusion. After a nip and tuck race for hulf La block the "boys,'' thinking the hog was about to get the best of the race, took refuge in an empty wagon left in the street by tie street construction force. The "boys" say the hog tried to get up Into th Mou, hut. with pi-c-f ttmtter, which they procured in the empty wagon lied, and by using the wagon seat as a weapon of defense, they repelled the vicious assaults of the swine for some time, and it finaUy walked off some few steps and awaited their return. While they were meditating on this strange etpeiience a gentleman passed by in a buggy, whereupon they hailed him and made inquiry If they could procure a ride home. lie answered them tlist he could carry one of them, but only one, and instantly one leaped from tho nagon info the buggy,, leaving his companion still Mending in the empty nugon In the middle of -the street. To the greut detrghf , " howeverr'trf- rhw- erne- -left- be hind the hog followed the buggy, as he thought, clean awsy, and after he was thoroughly satisfied that all danger had subsided he slyly crept from his retreat and once more attempted to make his way home in safety, but after he had gone about half a block, to his great natoniliment, he wa again ac costed by this affectionate swie and then the! race proper commenced. The gentleman won out. however, and lie says that when he get home he does not know whether the door was locked or unlocked, as it seemed to have Opened of its own accord as he entered the porch. The gentleman who participated id this last race says that lie was not mueh scared when the hog first at tacked them and that he would not have run when it started towards them, but tho other fellow got on the opposite side, leaving him between that gentle man and the hog and that he did not care to remain in that, attitude, but rather preferred to get the other gentle man between him and the hog, and that when he attempted to reverse the situa tion the race commenced. The "boys'" do not.i to his day, un derstand why on earth the hog should have , attacked them on the public streets in this manner without an ex phination, but take the joke ruth'; r good naturedly. although, in reality, tlii-y chiiiii that dail: and gloomy indeed were their .prospect ut the time) they first beheld the empty construction wagon in the street.
