College Teams Nav Not Maet

NEW HAVEN, Conn. April 1o.-Capt
Bascom Johnson, of the Yale track athie-
nc team in an informal statement today
expressed the opinion that negotia tions
looking toward an international meet be-
tween Yale or Harvard and Oxford and
Cambridge teams for the year have prac-
tically failed and there will probably be
no contest In America. Cant. Iohnsnn
said that Harvard had written to Yale
practically demanding that the games
should take place on college grounds pre-
sumably Harvard grounds. The position
of the Britishers. as understood at vale
called for a contest on neutral grounds
as was the case in England last year
Yale Is more or less inclined to side with

developed a halt which seems to Yale un-

NEW YORK, April 10.-Harry Vardon,
the open champion of Great Britain, had
an easy task when he met Willie Dunn, a
former open champion Of the United
States, in a 36-hole exhibition match to-
day. The game was played over the links
of the ScarsdaIe Golf club, Hartsdale, N
Y, and Vardon won by IL up with 10 to
play.
The men played out the bye holes and
at the end Of the thirty-sixth the Eng
Iishman was just up.
Vardon's driving and mashie and ap-
proach shots included some phenomenal
ones. but his putting was not so good.
One of his drives in the first round Of the
afternoon game landed the ball fully 225
yards away The drive went over lake
and landed on top Of a hill on the other
side, its flight being wonderfully direct.
The English champion received an ova-
ton for this stroke, but Dunn followed
with a similar stroke, the balls falling
about % yards apart.
All through the match Vardon's play
was away ahead of Dunn's. The latter

1t seems we'll established that the note
of the Powers to the Chinese Government
was not entirely satisfactory to the
United States, though our government
finally directed Minister Conger to sign
1t, because 1t was the best that could be
had. Its rejection by us meant probably
the destruction of the concert of the
Powers, and action by each powar on its
own account. This would probably have
brought about situation which would
have almost inevitably led to scramble
for Indemnity. which was practically
synonymous with territory, and the GER
tain breaking mp 81 the empire. Probably
our government thought it wouI1 be
wiser to agree to demands more extreme
than 1t favored and try to modify the en-
forcsment Of them than to risk the DOS
abilities involved In the breaking up of
the concert OF the Powers. 1t was case
apparently where the government had to
choose between dangers. Our govern.
ment is being criticized for its choice,
but 1t would have been oensured Just as
severely had 1t made the other.

1t is remarkable fact that the iaen
who participated in the negro lynohiDg
at Akron, have bsen arrested, tried and
twenty-five of them found guilty and
sentenced to terms OF Imprisonment vary
ing from few days to five years. AL
most invariably lynohers, whether at the
North or South, have been screened by
the prosecuting officers or, If brought to
trial, acquitted by the jury. In this
case the almost universal rule has been
reversed and most OF those caught have
been promptly convicted and punished.
1t is safe TO say that there will be no
more lynohings In Ohio for long time
TO come. II the same sort OF treatment
could be melted out to Southern lynch
ers lynching would soon go out of fash
ion in that section. The conviction and
punishment lot one lyncher would do
more to stop the business of hanging
and burning 'niEgers" than all the
sermons and essays that could he spoken
and written.
