To date Ynlo has lost but a single game, Georgetown having trounced tho
Ells In their first game of tho neason, on the Southern trip, llut Yalo made
amends for that beating by winning from the Southerners last week. Prince
ton has played more games than any of her rivals and has been beaten three
times. Pennsylvania's Is the saddest record of tho lot, for the Quakers havo won
but two games out of the ten they have played. The following table shows how
the leaders compare:

College baseball statistics are more or less worthless unless tho Institutions
considered be grouped In tho same class. For Instance, It Is ridiculous to work
out team hitting, fielding and pitching averages when the teams considered play
an entirely different class of opponents.
Only thoso statistics arc worth whlla which can be computed from teams of
the same strength and which meet common opponents. That Is why In this com
parison the minor colleges are not considered.
Yale and Princeton on Top
Yale and Princeton descrvo to rank at the top for the reason that they
possess all-around strength. Not until the two meet In their championship Berlea
of three games will It bo possible to finally rank them. But ranking them In
t accordance with tho showing they made against Pennsylvania, tho Elis are the
- 'stronger team. Yale has an Infield without an equal In tho East, a splendid out
field and a team of good hitters. Tho Ells have two good pitchers In Way and
tinderwood. They aro trying to make a dependable twlrlcr out of Watrous, but
to far havo not succeeded. In Individual stars, too, Yalo has tho advantage, for
LeRore, at Bhortstop, and Hellly, at third base aro almost good enough for pro
fessional baseball.
Only thrco teams havo been ablo to beat Princeton. Vlllanova turned tho
trick In tho second game of tho season, with a score of 6-G. Two weeks ago
Bronn did It, with an 8-3 score, and on Saturday Pennsylvania humbled tho
Tigers, 7-6. Thcro Is no particular department In which Princeton looks unus
ually strong, hut there is a uniformity of strength in all departments. Princeton
is blessed with two very good pitchers, In Dcyo and Link, although neither looked
hie best In that spectacular game with Pennsylvania.
Lobs of Ayrcs Crippled Hnrvard
The Harvard team was lato gotting under way. Then the Crimson was
weakened by tho loss of Captain Ayres, through Illness. Harvard Is not very
itrong in pitchers this year, and right now has to depend upon Wlllcox, the star
quarter mller, for much of the pitching. But Wlllcox Is, first of all, a track man,
because ho Is Harvard's best quarter mller. Ho won't bo available for the base
ball team regularly until after the Intercollegiate championships,
Cornell Just Striking Its Stride
Cornell Is nt last beginning to strike
may be counted on to make a strong
their first game. Then thoy lost seven In a row. That losing streak has now
.been broken and tho team has won tho last four games played, beating Dart
mouth twico, in successive days. The Ithacans are fortunate In possessing three
ttar pitchers. In Iteegan, Bryant and Russell, who compose, pcrhapsne best
staff in tho college world. If tho team

, f . , The Dartmouth team was handicapped by a poor start, duo to tho lateness
. of the spring season In New Hampshire. For that reason Dartmouth has been
4,' playing the small colleges of New England, and tho real strength of tho Green
will not bo known until thoy start on their Southern tour.
'
"' ' Penn, in the Cellar, Has Little Hope V
Pennsylvania is too weak In the pitching department and too erratic other
wise to make a very strong finish now. Splelman and H. K. Wallace havo
emerged as tho best of tho pitchers, but neither has yet proven to be dependable.
v The Quakers have played ten games and have won only two. Aggressiveness,
as displayed in the use of the squeeze play, coupled with Splelman's heady
Pitching, pulled them through against Princeton.
Of tho other colleges, Brown and Columbia are strong. It Is hardly fair,
though, to compare Brown with tho other Institutions, because tho Providence
men play semlprofessionals, and enjoy an advantage hero which other colleges
are not permitted to take. Columbia has a fair team and a very good pitcher
in Smith, but tho New Yorkers were badly beaten by both Yale and Harvard.
West Point's Wonderful Showing
It Is not otfen that a team outsldo the "Big Six" makes such a record as West
Point has done. The Army lads haven't
wonderful twirling of Neyland. Doubtless,
agers would llko to have the services of this young cadet if he wore not com
mitted to military service. West Point has played only ono member of tho "Big
nix, tnat being Harvard, and, of course, the soldiers won.
Harvard Persists in Old Four-Oared Ilaces
Yale's rowing authorities havo been unable so far to get Harvard to agree
to substitute a Junior elght-oared race at New London for the old four-oared
contest. And this in spite of the fact that last year Harvard's Junior eight not
only won at tho American Regatta in this city and beat Yalo at New London,
but later went to England 'and lifted the Grand Challengo Cup, being the first
American crew to achieve this honor.
One would think that, under tho circumstances, Harvard would promptly
consent. Why Harvard sticks to tho four-oared race Is a mystery to rowing
men, ror there Is no other institution In
-rid Yale, will do so only under protest
The experiment of substituting tho
contest at Poughkeepsle was so successful that there has been no thought of
.miinlng to the old, uninteresting struggle.

CASE OF J. FRANK It KEIl
UP BEFORE AMATEUR LEAHIJE
Protest Against Playing With Upland
Club to Be Heard.
President Joftcph r. Hogcrs. of the In
terstate Association, has called a special
meeting of tho "National Commission" of

.1 Franklin Baker, formerly of tho Ath
letics, with the Upland Clul of tho De'
awara County League Hiickncy, who Is
president of the Philadelphia Kubtirlmn
League, contends that tho signing of
Baker Ih In direct violation with the uplrlt
and object of the Interstate Association

Rogers and practically tho entire asso
ciation. The Delawaro County League, of
which J. Borton Weeks is president, has
threatened to withdraw from tho associa
tion if Baker Is not allowed to play
President Rogers stated that If Baker
had played last Saturday with tho Upland
Club he would penalize the club $20 and
forfeit tho game, but Baker very op
portunely received a broken rib by falling
down stairs In his Trappo home, and re
ports huve It that he will not play until
this Saturday.
There promises to be a real Interesting
time at the Philadelphia Athletic Club,
where tho special meeting has been call
ed. It Is reported that tho leagues who
will back Hackney will be the Philadel
phia Suburban, Northeast Philadelphia,
Main Line, Interborough and Burlington
County. The Delaware County and Del
aware River are expected to vote against

ROWLAND'S OFFERING.
An incident in ono of the White

Wftffe Sox have a young outfielder
who is a mighty fine hall player,
but one who is always looking for

day on ground balls and came back
to the bench complaining bitterly
about the condition of the field.
Manager Rowland fumbled around
the dirt beside the banch while the
Box were having their turn at bat
and when the outfielder started for
his position the neio leader of the
Sox handed him six pebbles.
What are they fort" asked the
surprised player.
"They are six little alibis. Go
out arid kick some more," said .Row

benched a few days after in favor
of a vian not considered as good a

came from.

VICTRIX CLUB'S STAR BATTERY
ALEXANDER TO TWIRL
FOR PHILS IN CLOSING
BATTLE WITH GIANTS
Tesreau, Mathewson or Rit
ier Due to Pitch for the
Giants if Ground Is in
Condition Mayer Held
for Brooklyn.
Grover Alexander Is slated to twirl for
tho Phillies this afternoon It the weather
man can bring enough sunshine to dry
up the field at Broad and Huntingdon
streets. It Is Drsklne Mayer's turn to
pitch, but Manager Moran believes that
Mayer H much mora effective against
Brooklyn and also Is anxious to cinch
the final combat with the Giants.
Moran gave Alexander an extra day's
rest last week In order to save him for
tho New York series. But ho figures
that Alexander needs plenty of work to
keep him going at top speed, so he will
take no chances on laying "Alex" off
today and having rain Interfere with the
first two games In Brooklyn. Too much
rest la worse than too much work for
Alexander, and Moran Is going to use him
all he can without overworking him.
If the field Is dry Bill Klllefer Is ex
pected to return to the game, but If tho
condition of the field Is bad, Manager
Moran will not allow his star catcher to
take a chance with ils injured knee.
Hert Nlehoff will not bo able to get
back for a few days, as he worked out too
strenuously on his first day out after his
Injury, and as a result. Is still stiff.
Manager McGraw says that he has no
Idea who will pitch fv the Giants. His
entire staff is In such bad shape that he
will havo to Bee his twlrlers warm up
before he selects one.
If Tesreau's thumb will permit, he will
work. If Jeff reports unfit, the choice will
lie between Mathewson and Rltter, who
worked so well for two Innings on Mon
day. New York Invites Howard Berry

heavyweights havo attracted hero In

training estcrdny after two weeks of

each boxer that ho has never been hotter
fitted for a contest, and the chances of
tho bout ending with a knockout are
better than ever. Not only a meeting
with Willard Is tho likely reward of the
winner, but also the personal satisfac
tion of being tho victor of a professional
rival of long standing.
Reich and Coffey havo been personal
enemies since thoy started In the profes
sional ranks and their case Is likened to
tho Jim Corbett-Joe Choynekl grudge
'fight In San Francisco several years ago,
when their differences were settled on a
bnigi in San Francisco Bay. The 'Willlo
Lewis-Sailor Burko bout at the Fair

that will long be remembered by tho fans
