CURRENT SPORTING NOTES

On the alleys of the South Washington
Business Mems Bowling Club last night the
tail-enders of the league administered to
the strong Carroll Institute team an over
whelming defeat. The same team without
effort captured the first and last games of
the set and missed the odd event by the
small difference of four pins. The attend
apce of spectators, always large on the
Business Mems alleys. last night overlooked
the space allotted for their use, and as the
great majority were ardent followers of
the South Washington five, the good work
of the home team was literally applauded
Orspada again appeared onsthe alleys for
the Business Men, and, with the exception
of the opening game, did good for his
side. Fuller continued his good work,
bowling in the last game the excellent
string of 212, highest on either side for
the evening.
The home team played much better than
their opponents in the first game, and at
no stage of the contest was the result in
doubt. Armstrong was many pins in the
lead of his team, Harlow bowling the
smallest total rolled by him this season
scanlon and Orspada were in poor luck,
but the balance of the Business Mems team
played steadily together. Rice made the
hard spare Of 40.

One Eastern and Several Western
Clubs to Make the Trip.
1t is probable that the Baltimore Base
Ball Club will be the only one of the east
ern clubs that will train in the south next
spring. 1t would seem that the fact. of
the seasons beginning a week earlier this
year would lead the managers to consider
little preliminary training in the south
more necessary than before, but it has
not.
In 1894 the Baltimore club was the only
one that went south. The next year they
all tried it. Since then they have been
dropping out year by year, largely because
the trips have in many cases been badly
managed and unnecessarily expensive.
This year the Bostons will probably go to
Atlantic City or Princeton. The Phila-
delphia club has decided to train it's men
at Cape May. New York's training ground
will again be Lakewood, N. j., and Brook
lyn will go there or train at home. The
Washington players will get in condition
at National Park.
Cincinnati Reds will go to San Antonio.
Tex, and will play exhibition games in
Texas and Mexico. Pittsburg and Cleve-
land will go to Hot Springs, and Chicago
will probably go there also, especially if

YALE AND CORNELL
A Semi Official Statement of the Formers
Position.
She Will Not Forsake New London,
Course or Pursue General Cham
pfonships-Regrct Expressed.

NEW HAVEN. Conn.,. January 2O.-No
official statement of the position of Yale in
the matter of a boat race with Cornell,
further than those contained in the chal-
lenge to Cornell and the refusal to con-
slider Cornelrs conditional acceptance, has
yet been made. Today, however, the Yale
Alumni Weekly has long editorial article
which gives a concrete expression Of Yale's
policy In boating matters and the sent-
ment of Yale graduates. After reference to
the Cornell-Yale negotiations the Weekly
says:
Those who understand Yale's principle
in guiding her athletic course can hardly
have any difficulty in following the steps
taken in this instance. and We think they
will approve the straightforward course of
ner representatives. They will be glad to
know that there is no disposition here 10
forsake the New London course--the dis
t!nctly university racing grounds-they will
also be glad that Yale is not TO be tempted
into the pursuit of general championships
and has not grown sensitive to the COM
parative prowess of other institutions.
Yale Broke Her Policy.
1.-The general course of Yale's boating
policy had been broken into last year when
she went to Poughkeepsie to resume her
traditional contests with Harvard. There
she met Cornell, and what might be called
a return engagement was naturally to be
expected. Cornell had courteously received
Yale into what might be called her own
race on her own waters. She had glorious
ly beaten her, and she had carried herself
after that notable triumph in such a man.
ner as reflected most creditably upon her
spirit 1t was felt most fitting that Cornell
should therefore be invited into what
might be called Yale's waters, and per-
haps into Yales own race. There was a
cordial support of this reciprocal act, but
the feeling was firm that the incident
should not become a precedent or involve
obligations for the future.
disappointed Mt Cornell.
1.-The desire was strong for a race and the
regret was keen that Cornell had proposed
a condition that Yale could not accept in
justice to herself. There has been no dis
position to criticise Cornell, but a sense of
disappointment that she did not appreciate
the strength of Yale's conviction on this
cardinal point"
