Six of the flat stakes are devised under selling condi tions, they being tho Amsterdam. Catsklll. Mohawk and Seneca for 3-year-olds, and tho Troy and Kentucky for 2-ycar-olds. The Inst two aro nt tho flvo and a half furlong distance. Tho Amsterdam and the Mohawk aro at one mile, while the Catsklll lacks one furlong of this distance, and the Seneca Is two furlongs short of the mile. Tho Champion Handicap, for 3-year-olds and upward, Is one of tho hardest tests on tho stamina of the thoroughbreds In the stake book, being at one and an eighth miles, whllo tho Saratoga Cup la even longer, requiring the veteran cam paigners who will bo attracted to this event to travel tho mile and three-quarters' routo to the wire. Tho Saratoga Handicap Is at oho mile and a quarter, and tho Merchants and Citizens' Handi cap Is n mllo nnd three-sixteenths. The Delaware Handicap Is over a mile course, while tho Travers and the Ala bama, both framed under conditions, will be at distances of one mllo and a quar ter nnd one mllo and nn eighth respec tively. The Saranac Handicap Is a mile event, and the Huron Handicap provides for tho longer route of a mllo and three sixteenths. The Sarntoga Special Is at a shorter distance, being a three-quarter dash, and the Adirondack Handicap and tho Sanford Memorial, the latter a con dition race, are In the category of sprints, both being at six furlongs. Tho Albany Is another slx-furlong dash. Tho Flash, at flvo and a half furlongs, completes tho list. AIKEN P0L0ISTS MAKE CLEAN SWEEP FOR BIG TROPHIES Hopping Plays in Rare Form Against Rumsons. LAKEWOOD, JC. J.. April 20. Tho Aiken Tigers carried off their third set of polo trophies for tho week when they took tho Randolph Cups yesterday after noon from Rumson. The game was hard fought, but one-sided. Rumson received two goals by handicap, and they were only ablo to odd ono more during the KILBANE TO FIGHT LEONARD IN NEW YORK THURSDAY to game. Aiken played In excellent form, In tho early periods swept tho Rumson four off their feet. Ten goals were earned by the Tigers, but they lost 1?4 In penalties. Hopping played In rare form for Aiken, scoring six of his team's goals, whllo tho other four wero made by Burke. Ono of Burke's shota was nearly half tho length of tho field. Tho flnal scoro was Aiken, SU; Rumson, 2?i. All of tho spectacular work was done Featherweight Chnmp Eager Tackle Lightweights. NEW YORK.

Prof. Thomas D. O'Bolger, of the Eng lish department of tha University of Pennsylvania, this morning gave out a statement in which he attacked the plea of tho coaches and students of the Uni versity who are advocating S o'clock hours for recitations and lectures. Doc tor O'Bolger assailed the athtetlo sys tern aa being made more Important than the scholastlo work. He also objected to being made to do etra work to please the Pennsylvania coaches, to whom he referred as "eliner not couege men, or, If they are, are only so by living upon her good nama and our undergraduate enslavement to tha commercialism of athletics." This statement In reference to the coaches Is what most angered tha stu dents. As a. matter of fact, the students point out, tho coaches of all four major sport teams are college graduates. Dr. George W. Orton, coach of the track team, has a degree of doctor of philos ophy from Pennsylvania, while Roy Thomas, coach of the baseball team, and George II. Brooke, coach of tho football team, are both Pennsylvania graduates. Vivian Nlekalle, coach of the crews. Is a graduate of Oxford University, Eng land . . . Doctor O'Bolger, in the course of his statement, suggests that tha coaches themselves get up early In the morning, and that ft won't hurt the studenta to take their athletic recreation In the early morning Instead of the late afternoon. It la expected that the matter of 8 o'clock hoSrs ill be decided by a vote of ths student body.

MMnR-X ZT- 1. out of th Damon Bunyon, In the New York American, contributes a classic to the sports comment of the day In his ap praisal of Grover Cleveland Alexander, of the Phillies, and Walter Jo'nnson, of Washington. It Is: "Whenever wo sea Grover Cleveland Alexander pitching at top form, we con clude that he Is the, greatest right handed pitcher In the land, and we cling to that conclusion until Walter Perry Johnson comes along with a line of his best pelting. Tnen we decide that Walter Is the greatest, and we hold to that de cision o the day that 'Alex' reappears. "in short, our mind probably none too stable at best does a heap of vacillat ing between these Western wonders, and wo are certain of only Just one thing with respect to their ability whhh Is that It's either Grover or Walter vho Is t'ne greatest right-hander. On Mondays It might bo Alex; on Tuesdays, Walter but It's one or the other so far as we are concerned. "This Is merely a personal opinion to which you may not subscribe. You may think that Mathewson, or rtudolph, or Bill James, or Willie Doak Is greatest. and we have no doubt that you can pro duce Just as many arguments In sup port of your belief as we can offer In trying to bolster up our view, but It Is our opinion that Johnson and Alexander today stand out head and shoulders above all the rest as Individual pitchers. NOT YET MATHEWSON. "We doubt If either of them will ever approach Mathewson when he was at his best, however, because we do not be lieve that either of them will ever make tlie study of their craft that Mathewson did. The Old Master will go down In baseball history as one of tha greatest pitchers of all time, but neither John son nor Alexander has yet made a place of that sort for himself in the memory of the game. "They are both great pitchers, but there have probably been many Just aa great and there has been only one Mathewson. The oldest inhabitants of baseball rate the big Pennsylvanlan right along with Hadboume. Time is the big test of a pitcher, and in time Alexander or John son or both may prove as great as Ma thewson, but that time la not yet. "For one thing, they have not had (he opportunity. The mighty Mathewson was generally carrying a whole ball club on his back, and that ball club out In front, where it was most conspicuous. Time and again it fell to him to fight the crucial battles of the big town outfit to pitch the games on which hung the most im portant issues of the campaign, and he rarely failed. "Even today you cannot count Mathew son wholly out when considering the question of ths greatest pitcher in ths country In sagacity, in sheer mastery of his craft, he is probably still ths greatest, of thsm all. and it would be highly char acteristic of ths Old Master to bob up gsin this reason with pea of his best lecoids, but he no longer possesses the physical stiensth that Is behind the arm of the Kansas Cyclone and the Nebraska Thunderbolt. , "It happens that they have both' been denied the glory that goes with a world's series. Both gained fame with clubs that have slnco figured to a greater or less extent In the battles for tho pennants, but In the main Johnson and Alexander had to fight their fights back behind the cheering. They were the Ituckera of the right-handers, so to Bpeak, whllo Matty was nearly always up where the shouting was loudest. "Some fans are dreaming this year or seeing Alexander and Johnflon as oppo nents In the first game of the 1915 world's series, but they are mostly Philadelphia and Washington fans who are having those dreams, and we doubt If the dreams will come true. It would be a grand sight, however, and It might help In solving the problem of which Is greater Johnson or Alexander. PLAYERS PAVOIt "ALEX." "Ball players who have hit against both men or rather who haven't hit against them, for there Is never much hitting against Walter or Grover say that the Nehraskan is the better of the two. They say he has as much 'stuff' and knows how to use it better than Johnson. "In the matter of control last season they were about equal. Alexander passed 78 batsmen In 43 games, while Johnson walked 74 In 61 pastimes. Alexander hit 11, and Johnson nicked the same number Walter cut loose 14 wild pitches, and Alexander one. In rolnt of average runs earned per nlne-tnnlng game Alexander shows up with Z.3S, and Johnson with 1.71. "Johnson had a much better club be hind him last year than Alexander, and that undoubtedly helps a pitcher's show ing in the figures, but then Johnson was a great pitcher with a bad club, even as Alexander waB great Jast season with a bad club. ' "The Nebraskan has none of what you might call the pitching style that marks the work of Johnson, or at least the pitching style that is favored by most baseball men. He tends to a side-arm motion in his pitching, and there are scouts in baseball right now who will not give a side-arm pitcher a second glance. They marvel that Alexander can have any control at all with that motion. On the other hand, Johnson has all the prescribed baseball 'stance' to his fling ing. "As a matter of personal choice, how ever, v would rather watch Alexander work than Johnson.- To us it seems that he has mores natural grace In the box, despite, that motion, than the big Wash ington propeller. There are mighty few pitchers who come under ths head of things of beauty when they are working, but 'Alex' is one of them. "Matthewson is another Rucker is still another Rube Marquard is a pitching picture So Is Ray Caldwell Spit bailers, like Jeff Tesreau for instance, and the underhanded species do not interest the audience) as much as ths others, though tby pult b pltsWng better ball.'' Collins or Foster Sched uled to Hurl Against Athletics Today McCon nell Probably Continues to Play at Third Base. BOSTON. Muss . April 21 Encouraged nt their good showing on Saturdnv. when Herb Pennock pitched them to n 0-3 c tory over the Red Sox, the Athletics feel rejuvenated todny. They expect to cap ture tho series with the Fenway feltons by taking tho final game. President I.nn nln has agreed to have the same this afternoon begin at 2.M o'clock in order that the Athletics may catch tho Federal oxprtss at 5 o clock for Washington, where they open tomoriow a four-gnmo series. Rube Bressler U scheduled to do the pitching for the Athletics today, with Mc Avoy behind the bat. Either Collins or Foster will do the hurling for the Amer ican Leaguo favorites. Foster worked In the latter pait of tho game on Saturday but ho did not pitch enough to prevent his starting this afternoon. Foster was put In by Manager Carrlgan to ascertain In just what condition he was. He proved that he was In excellent shape, ns he held the Mackmen down Just as tightly aa "baby" Ruth did during nls short term In the box. While McConnell, the young thlrd-acker tthom Mack tried out Saturday afternoon, made one boot out of three (leldlng chances, he made such a showing nt the bat that Mack probably will keep him In the game until another loss Is suffered.
