NEW YORK STATE LEAGUE CIRCUIT TO REMAIN INTACT---WILKES-BARRE WINS YALE LEADS IN COLLEGIATE MEET Bulldogs With Cornell Cap ture Lion's Share in Indoor Events at Philadelphia Philadelphia, March 5. The very cream of college athletes competed in the third annual indoor games of the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A., held at the Commercial Museum Saturday night. Champions and near-cham pions were conspicuous among the contenders for honors in the early events, in which the athletes of Yale and Cornell carried off the lion's share of the honors. The six-lap relay, the first of the night's series, was a veritable joy ride for Yale's famous quartet of Kolfe, Ireland. Cooper and Overton, which disposed of Penn State and Pennsylva nia. t*e only other starters, in easy fashion. State finished in the runner up position, a half lap to the bad, while the Bed and Blue hopes, out classed at every angle, were a lap and some llfty yards to the rear when Overton, Y'ale's great star, Hashed across the finish in 9 minutes 5 9 4-5 seconds. Bulldogs Have Runaway The Buldogs, with practically the same team line-uo that won last year's event, went out with the sound of the gun to make a runaway of it and well they succeeded. Yale placed depend ence on Kolfe to bring the New Haven institution in front in the lirst relay and its trust was not ill placed. Nor ris, of Penn, and Shea, of State, were not in the same class with the Yale runner and gave out trying to follow him after the second lap, to engage in a two-cornered battle for second place. Price, of the Red and Blue, and Whiting, of State, staged a fairly even battle in the second relay, but thence forth Z utter and Humphreys, of Penn, did not have a look-in with Foster and Shields, the State flyers, who man aged to to keep their Yale opponents at least in sight, while Penn fell grad ually further and further to the rear Penn Leads Sprint Belay The sprint relay saw the Penn team of Lennon, Walker. Dorsey and Scud der,, lead the pack from gong to gong, only to have the big C of Cornell show in the van at the tape, when Crim, the Intercollegiate 440 point winner, out ran Scudder in the tinal dash for the tape. Larry making a thorough job of it by falling to the floor two yards from home. With this bitter pill to swallow, the Red and Blue rooters were subjected to further torture when it was announced that Cornell's time of 4 minutes 20 seconds had clipped the record hung up by Penn's quartet of last year by 2 Seconds. Penn State was also a starter in this event, but never was dangerous. Tommy Bennon brought the Red and Blue home in front with ten yards to spare in the lirst relay, Slielteon of Cornell, running himself out in his ef forts to pass the Penn runner. Ache son, of Cornell, however, picked up nearly all the lost ground on Walker, of Penn, in the succeeding relay, but Dorsey proved a little too speedy for Windnagle, Cornell's great miler, in the third 'eg, and started Larry Scud , der off with a 15-yard margin tp work on over Crim. Larry held his man off over half the distance, but weakened to such an extent on the final lap that he was entirely unequal to the task of withstanding Crim's winning spurt in the last 50 yards.

RICH STAKES FOR CANADIAN RACES Detroit, March s.—Figuring ex penditures in over-night purses alone at an average of SBOO for each event, the Windsor Jockey Club will award to horsemen that compete at its plant, July 14-21 and August 15-22, more than $70,000 in fourteen racing days. This amount is exclusive of a little more than $30,000 that has been ap portioned to stake and handicap events, the forefnost of which is the Frontier Handicap, SIO,OOO added. During the fourteen days of rac NO CHANGES IN NEW YORK LEAGUE President J. 11. Farrell to Di rect Old Circuit; Jackson May Lead Elmira New York State League magnates have pulled themselves together and it now is practically certain that the circuit will remain intact for the 1917 season with Elmira and Utica having clubs in the lield. This eliminates all chance of Bethlehem and Alleniown getting franchises in the league thi:j year and the doors will be closed to them unless some of the clubs should meet with financial distress during the season and display the S. O. S. sign. The situation in Elmira has been straightened and this probably means that the tangled affairs of the Utiea club eventually will be readjusted and that lovers of baseball in that city will put up the money needed to retain the franchise. In Elmira a board of trustees has been named to control the club. Stock held by Mortimer SJullivan and the Chemung Coal Trust Company have been turned over to the board and a directorate of five men has been named. Whatever money is needed to meet debts of the club and keep the team in the league will be advanced from funds raised by public spirited citizens and lovers of the sport. •Tinliny Jackson Muy Manage So far, a manager has not been selected for the club. Several managers have applications on file, among them being "Wld" Conroy, Charles Louden sohlager, Jimmy Jackson, who has the backing of President Baker, of the Phillies; Jack Dalton, formerly with the Brooklyn Club, German Schaef<*r, favored by John J. McGraw, Wild Bill Dahlen, formerly with the Giant 3, Marty McHale, formerly with Jersey "*ity and Jack White, formerly of the Canadian I.eagtie. President Baker, of the Phillies, has otifled the directorate of the Elmira | In this edition of The Telegraph there appears a new daily feature by France Sullivan, staff cartoonist. It |is entitled "Somebody Lied" and it will appear each evening on the sport ing page for many days. Mr. Sulli van's humorous slant on men and events has won him an enviable repu tation among Telegraph readers. ~ But— ' 'Somebody Lied." This feature was to have run through all editions Satur day. "Somebody Lied." Either It was Sully, or the engraving depart ment, or "Boorgh," the makeup, or somebody else. It didn't hit the first, second and third editions. It appear ed in one edition only. But it will appear regularly hereafter, unless "Somebody Lied." ing there will be ninety-eight races of all descriptions decided. Ten of these are the fixutures, leaving eighty eight overnight handicap events and selling races. The total amount to be distributed exceeds SIOO,OOO by S4OO. For the minor races the total re wards will be $70,000, the average of SBOO for them reaching that figure. Every day of the fourteen there will be at least six of those affairs, days on which a fixture is rchcduled draw ing that many. - club that if Jimmy Jackson, a Phila delphia boy, and formerly of the Scranton club, is named manager that he will help in the rebuilding of the club by making Elmira a farm for Phillio players. This offer Is being given serious consideration. John McGraw has promised practi cally the same thing on behalf of Ger many Schaefer. McGraw has declared that if the comedian is made manager of the Colonels he will send several young players to Elmira. The indica tions are that the boss job of the Col onels will go either to Jackson or to Schaefer. Doings at Binghamton The situation in Binghamton is looming brightly. Manager Chick Hartman, who makes his debut as a club leader this year, has banded to gether a bunch of ball players who ap pear to have the goods. He had a likely-looking pitching staff in Frock, Rapp, Earnhardt, Miljus, Braitwood, Aucker and Williams. Me has Murphy as liis first string catcher. First base will he guarded by Shields and Hartman will cut capers around the midway sack. Pepe is sure to land the job at short field and Gonzales is a fixture at third base. Bill Irving is slated for the left field job. Big Bill Kay, champion batsman for several seasons, will play in right. The center field job is open, but Hartman declares ho will have a clever man for this job. Brarkett and Senno, who are reserved by the club, and who alternately work ed in center field last year, will be traded. Hartman Is considering a trade of the players for a hard-hitting speedy outfielder. The Binghamton players have been ordered to report on April 14 and they will do their training on their home grounds. CAVER RECEIVES DEGREE Cambridge, Mass., March 5. Eighty-eight Harvard students, who finished their college work at mid year, received their degrees Saturday. Among them was George C.

BARONS TROUNCE M'CORD'S BUNCH State Leaguers Win Out in Final Minutes of Bril liant Game The Independents, for the second time this season were defeated by the Wilkes-Barre State League team, on Saturday night In a brilliant con test played on the Chestnut Street Hall floor. The locals went u"nder by a tally of 37 to 32. The contest was one of the fastest of the season and was replete with clever passing and sensational shots. The Barons got off to an early start and rolled up, what looked to bo u comfortable lead, but the local tosscra braced and came within four points of the coal heavers at the end of the first period, the score being 19 to 14. Locals Take Lead The locals took the lead early in the second half .on brilliant goals by Mo- Cord and Rote. They retained a lead of several points until near the end of the game when the Barons cut loose and tied the score at 30. The Barons continued the fast pace and with Cooper leading in the scoring won out in the ebbing minutes. Rote was high scorer for the locals, from the field, with five two pointers to his credit. McCord pierced the goal thrice from the field and twelve times from the fifteen-foot line. The entire local team played tine ball but the fast pace set by the Barons in the final minutes was more than they could cope with.

He is will ing to mako any concessions in order to get some money and go back home. He tells the world that he will re turn and fight for his country as soon as he is able. All he wants is three battles. It has been suggested that Darcy agree to give part of his earn ings for his kinsfolks. This action it is believed would give the Austral lan a foothold with United States fight fans. The Pennsylvania Interscholastic League Season is nearing the close. Eight games remain to be played. Central is out of the running for the championship, but the big battle is yet to come. Tech meets Central be-, fore the close and the local cham pionship Is at stake. The forty-second annual outdoor track and field games of the Inter collegiate A. A. will be held at Frank lin Field May 2 5 and 26. This was decided by a delegation in Philadel phia Saturday. Harvard was a strong bidder, but it was decided that Uni versity of Pennsylvania offered the best inducements. Baseball fans who remember Felix M. Marks, at one time manager of the Allentown baseball team, a strong backer of the old Pennsylvania State League, and one of the best sports in the business, will no doubt be pleas ed to know he is still in the land of living. Last week a local newspaper man visited Atlanta, Ga., and met Mr. Marks. The latter has become an in surance broker and is quite success ful. He still remembers his Harris- Charles Riddle Creates Tie at Highspire Shoot By breaking 2 4 out of a possible 25 targets on Saturday Charles Riddle created a tie in the feature trophy event of the Highspire Gun Club monthly shoots, at the Highspire traps.

Felix M. Marks was one of the most popular men in the minor game in Pennsylvania. He knew now to pick players, was clean cut, and his only drawback to the success of the game was his big heart. Players found him willing to listen to their appeals for aid, and he was ready at all times to give his last dollar. Some players took advantage of bis kindness and there were times when he went broke. He always managed to turn up a few days later in good financial shape. Carlisle Indians will wind up winter games this week and start work for the spring sports. There will be a strong baseball team and lacrosse will again be popular at the Carlisle school. The indians are strong in lacrosse, and sixty men are trying hard to land a place on the team. Manager George Cockill and his baseball squad at Bucknell will get busy this week. The battery candi dates will be busy with indoor wor\c until more favorable weather, when all the candidates will be out on the field. It is probable that he will have his New York State League squad practice with Bucknell this year.
