Two Big Colleges Will Not Compete in Regatta .\iinai>olis. Md., March 26.—Tlue Naval Academy athletic officials have learned unofficially that neith er Yale nor Cornell will enter crews in the American regatta to be rowed on the Severn, May 18. It is believed that the entries will be confined to Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania. Syracuse, the Naval Academy and probably Princeton, with the possibility of at least one or more western crews. The decision of several of the big rowing colleges to stay out of the big event may, however, lead to some dual events on the Severn.

Lew Tendler so far outclassed Ed die Wallace in the wind-up at Olym pia last night that after the bout had gone two rounds it ceased to be interesting'. In the first two rounds Tendler showed that he was the master of the Brooklyn lad, and there was never at any time after that a chance for Wallace to win. He was merely a punching-gab for the Philadelphian and, through holding and running, he managed to stay the limit. In the fifth and sixth rounds Wallace made rallies and landed several stiff punches to Tendler's face and body, but he was so tired that the blows had litLle effect on the local lightweight. In the first round Tendler brought the blood from Eddie's nose, and he kept it bleeding to the end. In the fourth round Eddie's mouth began to swell up and it was badly putted in the last round. Mack Buys Pitcher Perry From Atlanta Jacksonville, Fla., March 26. There was nothing out of the usual order in the practice of the Athletics. The best scoring team in the league would be made up of Frank as center; Huston at one forward, with Beck at a guard. Miller, of Lebanon, would be the other guard, with Captain Nyquist, of Heading, at a forward. This combination would give Harrisburg three of the five players. Teoli Strong on Offensive Tech deserved to win the pennant because of their great offensive and defensive play. In both departments they lead all of their opponents. Tech lead the league from the out start, only once being headed by York, which occurred February 13. The following day the Yorkers lost, while Tech won at- Allentown, thug sending Tech again to the front. the honor of running up the highest score of the season, while Steeiton held Allentown to the lowest number of points in one gome. This is the third season for the league, and Harrisburg has succeed ed in capturing the laurels on two occasions. Central won the first year. With the Tech team practi cally composed of underclassmen, the Maroon aggregation should re peat for several years to come. All in all, the season has been the best of any of the preceeding ones, and fans throughout the circuit gave it-liberal patronage. The final aver ages: Morning and afternoon the entire squad Journed to Hose field and ! put in a strenuous day's work along conventional lines. Morq.- attention r was paid as usual to batting than ■ any other side of the game, al ■ though the regular infield ended I both sessions by a snappy exhibition of fielding and throwing. 3 The second game of the exhibition ' series with Pittsburgh will be played I I to-day. Mack will most likely work P ; Geary. Gregg and Myers against the . I Pirates. This trio appears in better r | condition than any in the squad. Manager Mack announced that, he I had completed, arrangements with lithe Atlanta Club for the purchase 1 i of Pitcher Perry, who did exception al ally fine work with that club in 1916 Perry was with both the Boston and Chicago Clubs last year, but did not * receive, according to Mack, a fair '(trial with either club. Mack thinks , he will add strength to his weak I pitching staff. He has wired Perry > to report, and expects him here in a ; [ few days. 1 ! HERZOG IS TURNED DOW X j Miami, Fla., March 26.—Charly ; Herzog, who declares that he will not report to the Boston Braves un less that club gives him a bonus and I a renewal of his Giant contract, paid an unexpected visit here yesterday. It is said that Manager George Stat lings would make no concessions to the former Giant on the question cf a bonus and salary. CRUISERS LEAD BOWLING RACE Successful Season Closes at Enola P. R. R. Y.

Miller, the pro moter, and a score of sporting celeb- I rities.

The agreement also j stipulates that Miller shall have the I right to sell or transfer the bout "to such person or persons as he may see fit."

"I may not be able to sell the match. If X don't, I shall pro mote it myself. There's one thing NEW GAME IN MANY STATES Hunting and Fishing Regula tions to Re Simplified by Revision and Codification An important matter in these days of complicated game legislation, when laws are amended at nearly! every legislative session'and scattered through several volumes of the sta tutes, is to simplify them as far as possible by revision or codification, so as to bring them together, elimi nate conflicting provisions and sim plify the wording. Important progress in this direc tion has been made in at least 3ix states: Maine, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have codified their entire game laws; New Hampshire and Utah have revised their statues, and Minnesota has appointed a commis sion to prepare a codification of the game laws. Of several radical changes made in administration of the laws, probably 'The most .important is the establish ment of a department of game and fish in Nevada. In Illinois the game and fish commission was abolished and the work placed under the De partment of Agriculture, with a chief game and fish warden in direct charge. One Commissioner In Maine a single commissioner of I inland fisheries and game has been | substituted for the commission of three members which has been in i charge of the work since 1899. In Mississippi the law enacted in 1916 I creating the Department of Game i and Fish and placing the work in I charge of a commissioner was sub- I mltted to the voters Tinder a referen j dum petition and rejected at the gen j ral election, thus leaving the state without any general officer In charge ' of game mattec.".

Fulton, attired in a frock coat and carrying a cane, faced a battery of cameras with the champion after the articles were signed. "I guess we are a pair of the big gest guys you boys have ever snapped," Willard said to the camera operators. The champion, accompanied by Miller, left for Baltimore last night to dispose of some of his circus equipment. He already has started light training, but will do no box ing for several weeks. as the game laws, was strengthened and made more explicit. The salary of the commissioner of inland fisheries and game in Maine was increased to $2,500; that of the state warden of' South Dako ta to $2,400, and that of chief pro tector of New York to $5,000 per annum.

A SCHOOLGIRL'S IiETTER "It was only a little river, almost a brook; It was called the Yser. One could talk from one side to the other without raising one's voice, and the birds could fly over it with one sweep iof their wings. And on the two banks there were millions of men, the one turned toward the other, eye to eye. But the distance which separated them was greater than the stars in the sky; it was the distance which sepurates right from Injustice. "The ocean Is so vast that the sea gulls do not dare to cross It. During seven days and seven nights the great steamships of America, going at full speed, drive through the deep waters before the lighthouses of France come Into view; but from one side to the other hearts are touching."—Letter of a French schoolgirl quoted by Dr. John H. Finley.

Hunk has been on his toes ever since the program was announced and is anx ious for a large crowd. Many rail roaders will bo on hand to-night. The only way to get Willard to fight was by letting him have his own way. He will get the lion's share of the money even if he loses the battle. That is a poor way. To the victor belongs the spoils. Members of the West Side Hose Company, or Steelton, have organ ized a baseball team. John Keider is manager. Enough said. If any body wants good games make haste in signing up those West Side boys..

Johnny Dundee and Willie Jackson fought fifteen rounds to a draw at the arena here last night. That is, Dave Fitz gerald said it was a draw. Dave was in a distinct and unpopular mi nority. In the opinion of nearly every body else in the building, Dundee won by as great a margin as it is possible for a man to win without knocking his opponent out. The Italian had the better of ten rounds. Jackson scored in three, while two were about even. Jackson was bad ly cut up and bled almost continuous ly from the second round on. Dundee suffered a cut eye in the twelfth round and that was all. Dun dee outboxed the Bronx lad almost from start to finish, outhit him and had him worried at frequent times. Still Fitzgerald said it was a draw, and Fitzgerald is an honorable man. Yea, verily, an honorable man. Juniata Closes Season With Basketball Squad Huntingdon, March 26. —Juniata's basketball season closed last week with the game with Tyrone Y. M. C. A. Tyrone though not as strong as some other teams met this season, put up a hot fight. Captain Oiler, of Juniata's quintet, jilayed his last game for his Alma Mater and was a big star. His play netted thirteen goals. Wright, Fowler, Howe and Griffith showed excellent form and continued almost perfect passing throughout the game. Fowler's woirk in all lines was exceptionally good. The warm weather has added great impetus to baseball enthusi asm. At a recent meeting of "J" men Fowler, of Altoona, was chosen to captain the nine. For the present Dr. R. A.
