ae ey ALTLTT MINT WEE BRLY Yale 20; N. Y. University 8. The Yale Nine opened the playing season at the Field Saturday, March 31, by a game with New York University, and although the weather was cold and raw, there was exceptionally good play for the first of the season. Sixteen men were given an opportunity to play in the nine innings, including four pitchers and two catchers. Garvan, a brother of Frank P. Garvan, ’97, was in the box for the first four innings and did good work, giving but one base on balls, striking out four men, and field- ing his position well. Russell, who succeeded him in the fifth, was very erratic and was mainly responsible for the four runs scored by the New York players in that inning. McKelvey and E. Wescott, who were tried in the last portion of the game, did fairly well. Sul- livan caught for the first four innings, Cunha finishing the game. The infield work was remarkably fast and clean. Sharpe, the half-back of last year’s foot- ball eleven, was at first base, and though green, showed qualities which should make him a fixture at that position. He is over six feet tall and throws left- handed with speed and accuracy. The high wind made the work of the out- field very ragged. In batting Yale showed to good advantage, and gave the spectators the right to expect some- thing unusual from this year’s team in the -batting line. The score: YALE, ABOR. TB PO. A.

The expendi- tures amount to $1,817.57, of which the more important items are, as usual, training table, expenses at New London and uniforms. The delay in publishing the report has been caused by a few outstanding bills. Contests are being held regularly in the Gymnasium to arouse interest in the high jumping event, where Yale has been weak for years. So far, there has been a good level of work, but no exceptional jumpers have appeared. The novices who have scored points in the prelim- inary trial are: E. L. Fox, 1902, 5 points, 5 feet, 3% inches; K. L. Burns, 1900, 3 points, 5 feet, 2144 inches; J. W. De- crow, 1900, I point, 5 feet, 114 inches.

Word has been received from the management of. the Duquesne Gardens, the Pittsburg skating rink, that the pro- posed hockey game between Yale and Queen’s University, of Kingston, Can- ada, cannot be arranged for this year. The Board of Health of Pittsburg has announced that the rink must be closed April 14, and as the Queen’s College team cannot possibly be in Pittsburg until the sixteenth, negotiations have been broken off, and it has been defi- nitely decided that the game will not be played. Two important changes in the baseball rules for the coming season were made by the National Baseball League at its meeting in New York, March 9. Here- after, a balk, or feint to throw, by the pitcher, meant to deceive a base runner, will permit base-runners to move along one base; but the batsman cannot go to first. It was decided also to change the shape of the home plate so that the pitcher will have the side of a square for a mark instead of the point. It is believed that, because of this change, bases on balls will be fewer. The final gymnastic contest for the “Vv.” took place in the Gymnasium, March 16. The judges decided in favor of G. H. Whipple, who scored 3.08 points more than any other competitor. There were five entries, as follows: E. 1. Hlaason, «teed? KR. Je 1 mito, . 2000; G. H. Whipple, 1900; W. L.

Mayser and Mr. R. Horn. At a recent meeting of the Cornell Athletic Council changes were made, in the undergraduate representation in that body, which gives the undergraduates fuller powers in the government of their athletics. The Council was increased from fifteen to nineteen members, of which the undergraduates have one ma- jority. The local graduate membership in the Council was reduced by one— from seven to six. At the same meeting the question of a graduate manager of athletics was discussed, but the result has not been announced. ‘There seems, however, to be a strong sentiment for the appointment of such a manager. At the intercollegiate fencing tourna- ment, held at the Racquet and Tennis Club, New York, March 31, the Har- vard team won first place, the Annapolis team second place, the Columbia team third place, the Cornell team fourth ' place and the Yale team fifth place. The superiority of Harvard and An- napolis was apparent after the first bouts. This is the first time that Yale has entered a team in the intercollegiate tournament and the men have had but little practice. The Yale team was composed of S. N. Arnold, 1903, Cap- tain? = 4 D: Stowe, “1600 Ss: “and 7H: W. King, 1901. A dual match between the Yale and Cornell teams will be held at Ithaca, May 18, and may become a permanent event.
