SPORTING NOTES.

Cornell to Yale: "Shake!'
Rah! Rah! Rahl Harvard!
Lehman has a right to be sore.
A crimson haze is floating over the

Harvard painted New London red last

American coaching is best for Americans
after all.
The only team entirely "out of it, is

How much credit for the victory belongs

Fashions change. Blue is no longer as
popular as formerly.
Worcester lays off today and plays in
| Providence tomorrow.
| Kloby tried to work in a poor ball in
the second inning but Doescher got on.
| Rloby had a jump on his speedy ball
that would win prizes in any competition.
The first five teams are neck and neck,
and the sixth and seventh are not far be-
| hind.
The English Cambridge and the Ameri-
can Cambridge put out the best crews this
year.
Two months ago yesterday Worcester
opened the season at the oval with
victory.
A prettier pennant race was never seen
than that now going on in the Eastern
League.
The Yale men who called up The Spy
hung up the receiver very quickly When
told the news.
The Spys bulletin of the race, put up as
it was rowed, every quarter mile, at

This is surely Harvard year. A VIC
tory in the ball game tomorrow will polish
off a string of brilliant successes.
The Harvard varsity could not do other
than win with victories already scored In
the four-oared and freshman races.
The progress of the Springfield Montreal
games was watched with interest on the
bulletin board at the oval yesterday.
Villman robbed Harrington of a hit by
stopping a hot one without being aware
of it. Woodlock completed the play.
There's no telling what showing Billy
O'Connor would have made at bat If
Doescher had given him fair chance.
In the first inning Villman lost the
plate and pitched 10 successive balls.
Then he pitched four successive strikes.
Bransfield stole home in the fifth when
two strikes were called on McQuaid. He
was clearly safe, but Doescher called him
out.
It's too bad the Worcesters didn't get at
Syracuse for a double-header yesterday.
If two games were won we would have an
easy lead this morning.
The Storrow brothers must be well sat
isfied with themselves. The crew of the
younger won the freshman and his broth

Kloby is the greatest slider that ever
went down to base. He drops and
stays there. He'll be punching a hole
through to China some day.
Somebody at the grounds asked Connie
Murphy if the Syracuse Stars, on which
he played. were as rotten as the team
of yesterday. Connie never noticed the
question.

First the foot ball championship. then a

make up for her many off years.
Sixteen Associated Press operators fol-
lowed one another in the short space of 20
Office while the race was going on. There
was loop at every quarter mile of the
course.
Charlie Camel may not be fast enough
to make the Worcester team, but the Bos-
ton Herald thinks him pretty fair coach,
in view of the fact that the Williams team.
which he trained, won one pennant and
tied for another.
The lad who chalted up the scores in
the games that Montreal and Rochester
played, kept making ciphers, and the
crowd watched him. cheering spontan-
