HAUGHToN's HARD TASK.

Captain Haughton of the Harvard
base ball team has a mountain before
him in the coming season. In the first
place, Reid, Of the foot bah team, who
caught so brilliantly, and Davis, who
played when Reid did not last year,
will not try for the team this year
Reds reason is that he cannot tend to
both foot ball and base ball In the same
year, while Davis has reasons Of his
own for his attitude Then Robinson,
who played on the nine year ago, has
left college, and Lynch and several 9th
ers who ought to make good men will
not be out. Rand, too, has left and
with hirn one of the best pitchers HaP-
ward has had for years.
Captain Haughton says he has some
wonders up his sleeve. For Harvard's
sake, at least, let us hope this is true.

man 1 ever heard of that lived. / was so
bad off did not expect to live. 1t would
come upon me suddenly, in the midst of
conversation and stop me instantly, as
quickly as though l had dropped dead.
Sometimes l would be taken with
strangling in bed, and had a window
fixed SO that l could touch a spring and
throw it open quickly to put my head out
to breathe. One day a friend asked me
to try DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. did so and it helped me.

1T is ALL BUT FORMED.
New TrtcoIIeglate Association Will Be
Organized In Boston Feb. 20.

Delegates from Amherst, Wesleyan
and Williams will meet in Boston Mon
day, Feb. 20, to form a triangular ath-
letic league in base ball, foot BAH and
track athletics. For Amherst and Will
liams this league will take the place of
the old organization in which Dart
mouth was the third member, but was
crowded out because of tactics that did
not meet with the approval of the
other two members.
1t is said that all the arrangements
Tor the formation of the new league
have been made and that all now re-
naming is the formal organization.
The base bail league viii go In force at
once, and in the fall the three ingtitu-
lions will meet in league games upon
the gridiron. 1t is doubtful however.
II the tri-collegiate track athletic meet
ing is held this year. Dartmouth win
probably meet all these colleges In base
ball as in former years when member
OF the league.

BEATEN BY EIGHT PINS,

The Old Glorys could not quite win their
match with the Indians on the Winthrop
alleys last evening. They all but did the
trick, and at the end Of the five games the
Indians had scored only more pins than
their opponents. In the first game the
winners of last night made 1879 pins to the
good, so their present lead is 147 pins,
which practically wins for them the sup
rolled and that will take place on tho
Winthrop alleys next Monday evening
The feature of last evening was the re-
markedly good bowling of Southworth
who scored a 481 total and 115 string in
the last game. The score follows:

Saw Fast Basket Ball
Games.
ENDED IN DISPUTE.
St. Stephens and Guilds
Each Claimed Same Game.

The quality of basket ball played in
the Temperance Society league i'm
proves with each succeeding contest.
The game, as 1t is played by these
youthful aspirants, is Noe quite so fin
ished as would be offered by MARI
boro or Milford team, but at the same
time the players are getting better
knowledge of the game, and are now
using skill where in the first games
brute force and roughness predomina-
ted.
Two more games in the league sched-
ule were played last evening at Father
Mathew Hall The biggest crowd thus
far, witnessed the contest, and the two
games, like the crowd, were the best
to date.
The evenings sport ended in whirl-
wind of excitement, that left both
teams cheering, each thinking that the
game was its own.
The contesting societies in this sec
ond game were the st. Stephens and
the Guilds, and a few seconds before
the end of playing time the Guilds led
by a score Of to Z. Then there We're
a few short seconds CT clever passing,
and just as the whistle blew, the ball
sailed into the air IN the direction of
the cage.
The ball did not land until after the
referees whistle had been blown. Then
it landed in the basket and the st.
Stephens contingent was correspond
ingly elated. The Guild players, how
ever, on the strength of the fact that
the ball was in the air when the whis
tie blew, said the goal did not count
and thus claimed the game.
The crowd left the hall in doubt as
to which team really won, but the mat
ter was not allowed to drop there. The
players on the rival teams discussed
1t all in the dressing room, each claim
ing a victory for mis- side. Referee
Holmes, however, effectually settled
matters by ruling that in as much as
the try had been made before the whis-
tie blew, the goal counted. And thus
st. Stephens wins the game. Some
of the Guild men, however, talk about
lodging a protest.
The first game was Setween the Ly-
ceums and the Father Matthews, and
was won by the South Worcester del
egation by a score of to 5. The first
half of this game was especially fast
and furious, and the score at the end
of the duration of play stood l to 0
in favor of the Lyceums. In the Sec
ond period both teams tired so goals
were more numerous.
The lineup of the teams and the
summaries follow:

BOMBAY, April 1S.-According to
statistics gathered regarding the bubo-

have been 250,00O deaths recorded in
India since its beginning These
figures, however, are undoubtedly far
are known to have concealed quite a
number of deaths. Bombay presidency
suffered the most, being responsible for
134 900 deaths, without counting those
which occurred in the city Of Bombay,
which, with Kuraccho, We're the chief
hot-beds of the disease.
The deaths in Bombay presidency are
still about 1000 weekly. With the re
turn of hot weather the plague, which
is now the third epidemic, is again
rapidly disappearing. The mortality,
bay five weeks ago, has now sunk to
100 per day, and the Government has
dropped the rigorous repressive meas
ures, which, it has been found, it is
Impossible to MAINTAIN indefinitely IN
face of the fatalist resignation of the
natives.
The Madras presidency is fairly free
from the plague, its climate and soil,
it is argued, being unfavorable to the
spread of the epidemic.
The Bengal presidency has suffered
to some extent, including calcutta, but
the situation has not been grave and
the spread of the plague is now DE-
creasing. The Haffkine fluid has been
very successful.
