AMATEUR BASEBALL NEWS-INTERCOLLEGIATES WILL BE ONE OF YEAR'S GREAT EVENTS
INTERCOLLEGIATES THIS MONTH
MA Y SEE SOME BIG UPSETS
' Cornell May lie Hard Pushed, As Result of Showings by Rivals
on Saturday Triple Meet Should Decide Swimming
fe; Tangle Penn Baseball Team Shows Spirit.
I" ' ,
Although thtro were no dual trnck meets of Importance In IntercolleRlato
circles nn Saturday, there were two sets of games with good performances
that are likely to haVo their effoct on the coming championships on May 28
- and 2D. At New Haven, In the Vale class games, Wllltle was credited with
'fanning a quarter In 4S 1-5 seconds, which Is only ono-flfth of a second out-
. lde the Intercollegiate record. In the same meet Overton ran two mllea
In 9:36.
Both of these are performances which, If duplicated In the championships,
will caupo some upsets.
' , At the same time, too much .credence should not be given to sprint records
made at this time of the year, for In most cases they nre timed by amateurs,
' -vho frequently give the athlete the benefit of half a second or moro.
t Last year Wllkle was credited with a number of such performances prior
. to the big meet, but here had to take third place. Overton'a record, however,
probably bona fide, because there Isn't much chance to make mistakes In
& two-mile run. His performance Is likely to cause some uneasiness In Cornell
circles, because- this young Ell Is one of the best distance runners In America,
and Is undoubtedly competent to run
Pcnn Trackmen In Good Form.
There were no startling performances In the Princeton handicap meet,
due to a slow track. The Pennsylvania team, however, did good all-round
" work, and, with tho urging the men will get from now on, ought to round Into
ihapo quickly. Nourse, of Princeton, by throwing the hammer moro than
HO feet, looks llko a point winner here.
The coming week will seo three big track meets, which will give ono a
lino on how the big teams arc developing. On Saturday Pennsylvania nnd
Dartmouth meet at Hanover, Harvard and Cornell at Cambridge and Prince
ton and Yalo at Princeton.
Triple Meet Should Decide Swimming Tangle.
Tho triple tie In Intercollegiate swimming Is not settled yet. Both Penn
sylvania and Columbia seem disposed to let It stand, but Yale Is reported to
be standing on tho constitution, which provides that all tics must be settled by
actual competition. Tho Ells have tho law on their side, and, If thoy choose, can
compel Pennsylvania and Columbia either to eettlo tho dlBPUto by another
' aeries of dual meets or forfeit to them. Tho matter will be settled ono way
or the other at a special meeting of the association next Sunday.
In view of tho fact that tho sport already has been prolonged unnccea
larlly, chiefly on account of the attitude of Yalo, It would seem better sports
manship to let tho meet stand a tlo and then, with hotter rules, start afresh
next year. But If Yale does Insist on swimming off tho tie, why would It
not bo less expensive and fairer to all Bides to hold a trlplo meet, awarding
tho championship to tho collego thus winning?
Points might bo counted for first, second and third places, Just ns In
track meets, and the championship given to the team with the biggest total.
The meet would have to be held In a neutral pool, and, If this were agreed to,
no better placo could bo found than tho new pool at rtutgers College.
Likewise, tho colleges Involved would be doing real missionary work, and,
at the same time, they would settle their dlsputo In a sensible manner.
Columbia Ought to Come Within Basketball Rule.
If reports are to be believed, Columbia University will not bo a member
of the Intercollegiate Basketball Association next year, and all bocause tho
New Yorkers refuse to accept the new ellglllblty code of tho association,
which bars freshmen, flrst-ycar studonts and holders of degrees. It Is said
that tho enforcement of these rules would break up the Columbia team. That
' being the case, It Is certainly high time the association passed them, because
the new rules are those generally accepted at all self-respecting universities
nnd which have boen observed almost entirely by the other members of tho
" association. If Columbia does not caro to keep pace with this progress In
college eligibility tho association should fill its placo at once.
Quaker Team at Last Shows Spirit.
Team and individual spirit, which previously had been lacking, coupled
with pitching control, were tho fnctors which enabled tho Pennsylvania base
ball team to outplay and defeat Princeton on Saturday. It was the first time
this year that such a combination had come to tho aid of the Quakers. It
made a new team out of tho Red and Blue, and if It tan be repeated there
Is no reason why the Quakers should not win their share of tho remaining
"cry memberV the feam did "his part in contributing thl. spirited attack
and defense. There had been gooc .reason to criticise the list essness of the
team In most or the provious gamou,
aggressively. They wont after both pitchers as tnougn mey m.u "-"
them out of the box. arid once tho got on bases they were daring and
always alive.
Pitcher Speelmnn Shows Nerve and Control.
It was Spleima'iVs "first full nlno-lnnlng victory of the year, although ho
also gets credit for the team's only other victory of the year, that against
Cornell. . ...
Spielman Is not a great pitcher in the same sense that Sayre. of last year a
team, was, and, although ho passed and hit too many men to suit an exacting
coach, he always kept his head and his nerve. Several times he was placed
in critical positions that would have tried a veteran, but he emerged suc
cessfully, and all because he never lost his nerve.
It now looks as though Spielman and H. K. Wallace are tho only twlrlers
on whom tho Quakers can depend. Neither is rated aa a star, but both have
control, about tho most desirable qualification a college twlrler can possess.
Trinccton Teaches Students Life-saving Methods
The swimming authorities at Princeton are doing something beside
teaching their students to awlm and play water polo. They aro rendering
immense service through tho Princeton Swimming and Llfesaving Club,
modeled after tho Royal Llfesaving Society of Great Britain. The object is
to teach students how to act in an emergency where a life is in danger.
Diplomas are presented to those who can pass the examination, but it is
made so difficult that out of a class of 82 only 12 received diplomas. This
does not mean that only 12 men learned how to save life, but that only this
number passed tho 14 tests required for a diploma. The Princeton idea Is
worth taking up elsewhere.

CURTAILED BASEBALL GAMES
STOPPED BY TENER'S ORDER
Train or No Train, Full Contests Must
Be Played.
Action has been taken In the National
League putting a stop to short baseball
contests, such as that in Pittsburgh the
other day, when the game between the
Cincinnati and Pirates was called at the
end of the eighth inning so tho teams
could catch trains, although the specta
tors who had paid their money expecting
to see a full ball game were left flat.
Evidently, John K, Tener, the league's
president, thinks spectators aro entitled
to more consideration, for he has Issued
tha following;
"Hereafter no club in tho National
League will be permitted to begin a
championship game prior to the usual
starting hour or to discontinue play be
fore game la finished In order that par
ticipating club or clubs may catch early
trains. The "last train." as stated in
the league's laws, will ba construed to
mean the last train scheduled to reach
the next city at least an hour prior to
the customary time of starting games."
PENN CREWS' VICTORIES
BOOST FOR TRIANGULARS
Oarsmen Gain Confidence for Big
Meet Saturday,
Fenn' double victory over the Middles
at Annapolis on Saturday should prove a
wonderful help to the rowing Interests at
the University and send the crews to the
line for next Saturday's triangular race
at Princeton with renewed confidence.
But beating the Middles is not beating
Columbia and Princeton, and the Penn
sylvania boys will need to row their pret
tiest to come In ahead on Lake Carnegie.
Coach Jtlce. of Columbia, declares that
Penn is likely to finish third. It Is the big
race of the year for the Tigers, so they
may ba expected to cut out a fast pace
from the very start. J- Duncan Bpaetb,
an old Pennsylvania oar. is coaching the
Princeton crews, and he is known to have
sot them going very smoothly, nice
crews are always smooth, q Penn'i only. I
cops a to display more) actual power.

IN FIGHT WITH AL M'COY
Indianan Will Box in New York Tues
day Night.
NEW YOnK, May 3,-No small degree
of interest has been aroused over the
meeting of Al McCoy, who defeated
Oeorga Chip with one punch ono night,
and Jimmy Clabby, tho clever middle
weight from Hammond, Ind. The men will
crosH gloves In a 10-round bout at tho
Broadway Sporting Club, of Brooklyn, on
Tuesday night. Uarring the unforeseen,
McCoy Is in for one of tho neatest lacings
he ever took. There Is none bo foolish
as to state that McCoy can hope to nutbox
his man, for Al is one of the poorest box
ers who ever gained promlonco In the
ring. Nor can ho hold out any great hopes
of outslugglng Clabby, who, for nil his
science. Is a stiff puncher with both hands.

Coach Alker and his baieballlan pro

are fully confident today that they will
bring the Princeton trophy to the Orange

point of the Interscholastlo League race
In favor of the Speedboys occurred when
Captain Boat and 'nls national pas timers
routed Central High School's nine afttr
a stlCf tilt, breaking the Crimson and
Cold winning streak.
The defeat of Doctor O'Drlen's team,
winners of the championship last year,
practically put the Broad and Qreen
streets diamond representative out of the
race. On the other -hand, the result or
the match virtually clinched fno laurels
for the boys across the Schuylkill.
Five games still remain on the league
schedules of the West Phllly and Central
High, while the same number and a
postponed game with Southern High aro
to be played by Northeast High School.
The Orange and Blue la playing the best
article of ball, compared with the other
aspirants for the championship. Tha
team probably will win at least three of
Its remaining games.
In this event Northeast's only hope of
annexing the trophy Is to win all of Its
games. The best Central High can do
is to tie the circuit's leader by returning
a victor In Its remaining matches.
Central High School will gain tha per
manent possession of the big trophy of
fered by Swarthmoro College if the Crlm
son and Cold track team wins another
meet under the auspices of the mentioned
university, The Broad and Qreen streets

NEW YORK, May 3. New York's
baseball populace awoke this morning,
looked at the sporting pngo and then nt
the calendar, tho reason being that the
Yankees are In first place with no signs
of weakening and that Is something that
tho Now York fan never expected to see
again even though he lived to bo 100
years old. On glancing nt the standing
In tho National Leaguo ho discovered that
tho Giants the Idolized Giants wero
resting In the cellar.
New York loves n winner nnd has no
time far a loser, bo It Is only nntural that
the fans should prepare to turn out In
large numbers to seo Donovan's team in
action against the Athletics this after
noon. Bill Donovan does not know whom
ho will send to the mound, but It Is likely
to be one of tho other Rays, cither Fisher
or Keating. With Ray Caldwell, Ray
Fisher and Ray Keating going so nnd tho

George Chalmers Is slated to twirl for
the Phillies against the Qlants this after
noon, nnd Qeorgo will attempt to play
the lending role In the second act of
'Making Mcdraw Mad." If there is one
club In the world that Chalmers Is effect
lve ngnlnst It Is the Giants, nnd he ex

I It is probable that Chalmers' chances
will be Improved considerably by the re.

played good ball In Bert's absence, the
hard hitting of the former Redleg has
I been missed, nnd It Is likely that at least
one of the games lost to Brooklyn woUId

Manager McGraw, who, It Is said, has
completely lost his head ns well as hi
popularity In New York through the sud

the Yankees. Is at his wits' end. The
scrappy lender has not even an Idea who

Thn only pitchers available are Mar

Secretary Foster stated today that It
was doubtful If Lobert would be able to
play, aa tho Bplklng Honus received from
