teams so far this season 1t looks as though
Yale would capture the coveted honors.
The Ellis have one IF the best-rounded
teams in their history. and II they do not
win. their veterans will be the biggest dis
appointment of the year.
Like last year, the fight promises. to be
a duel between Harvard and Yale, with the
chances decidedly in Yale's favor. Harvard
ought to win the 1Ge-yard dash with a
snrinter like Schick, but the go will fur
nish a battle royal between Schick and
Monlton of Yale. in the quarter-mile either
Rust or Haigh should have no trouble in
heating Long, of Yale. but here is where
Harvard's superiority suddenly ends. In
the pole vault. hammer throw, shot put.
hurdles and both jumps Yale has better
men and should win the most events.
What makes the fight of more than ordi-
nary interest this year is. the fact that the
permanent resting place of the intercolle-
giate trophy cup will probably be decided.
Yale has won the cup FIVE times and Har-
yard and Pennsylvania four times each. If
Yale wins this year the cup will be hers
permanently. If Harvard wins it the fight
will he prolonged another year.
Should Princeton or some other college
besides PENNSYLVANIA or Harvard win. then
the cup will also be Yale's because 1t is
open to competition but one year more I'M
lers there should happen to be a tie this
year.

An Eastern paper has the following to
say anent a college baseball association:
THE present situation in the intercolle-
giate baseball world emphasizes the need
for an intercollegiate association to- ar
range a series OF games to. decide the cham
pionship. as is done In the professional
leagues. one thing only has prevented this
heretofore. and that is the petty jealousies
existing between the leading colleges for SO
many years. Certain institutions have I'M
agined that their natural rivals were un-
worthy to meet, them. with the result that
enmities have hesn engendered and the
best teams never fought each other on any
field.
Fortunately for the good Of the sport
these breaches are being gradually closed
up. The best indication Of this has been
the renewal of friendship between Penn
sylvania. Yale and Princeton. Pennsylva-
mia now meets every member of the big
four on the diamond and the time is ripe
for the. organization of a baseball ~associa-
ton. A general intercollegiate association
to include. every branch Of college sport
would be out of the question. because 1t is
physically impossible for one football team
to play, more than two big games a year.
B the plan is feasible as regards base
ball. and 1t would certainly heiChten the
interest OF. the game if all of the college
teams would consent to meet each other
and play a series of contests for the inter-
collegiate championship"

There are at present in the neigh

the bottom Of Pacolet river, and to-
gethcr with this and large amount
of cloth and other property there are
some 100000 worth in the bed Of the

has the recovering of the flood goods
in charge is of opinion that the greater
amount of the cotton will be ultimately
reclaimed.
The work of searching o-o AID re-
claiming the goods that were washed
from the Pacolet mills by the food of

weeks. Next summer, however, the
work will be resumed and il is believed
that the small fortune now lying in the

wholly reclaimed. Expert cotton men
say chat FOR the staple to stay in the
water for six OF eight months will not
damage il materially, and all except @
small part OF the outside rims OF the

opinion is somewhat at variance with

WHO HIT MR.. SHEARD?
The VIM. Patterson Mystery Is Re
produced in Topeka

Who hit Mr.. Thomas Sheard? Did
why not?
That is the kind of proposition Judge
cad Hamilton had to dissect vivisecl
and classify in police court last night.
It is case with a thick layer of mys-
terry attached. The case of the late
William Patterson is not in it.
One thing the court discovered for
sure, that was that dog had passed
INTO the sweet subsequently.
Here is synopsis of the case Thurs
day night at about 1915 Mr. Sheard was
vending his way homeward on West
Sixth avenue. AS he passed a house
between Harrison street and Topeka
avenue, about the centre of the block
two small dogs, in manner gay, ran out
and lay siege to him. Then, with q
foul SWipe and his truSty umbrella Mr..
Sheard hit one of the ki-oodles a swat
which killed him dead. Then he walked
on, shy one dog to contend with. But
ne reckoned not of the possible owner
OF the canine A Man, who had been
sitting on the porch of the house
whence emenated the dogs, came swift
ly down the pike after Mr. Sheard.
Why did you kill that dog?" he re-
marked in a close buckIed voice.
If you keep your dogs off me they
won't get hurt" responded Mr.. Sheard
IN similar manner. Whereupon. and
without further converse, Mr. Man
soaked Mr.. Sheard in the neck, and fol-

was all. Not quite. Mr.. Sheard 'recog-
nized' Mr. Man as r. F. Hodgins.
So he came around next day and Hold
gins was arrested by telephone without
giving hiny chance to explain. At 30
by the clock, Mr.. HOdgins and his at
torney Eugene Hagan, appeared. So
did Sheard.
Then Mr.. Urmy got in his work He
had Mr.. Sheard take the stand and tell
all about it, including his identification
of Hodgins, whom he had known for IS
years. and could not mistake for some
one else. Then Attorney Hagan took
charge. He got Mr.. Sheard to admit
that ne had hit the dog, the dog whose
demise followed closely. Then he tried
to get Mr.. Sheard to say that he might
have been mistaken in the man. Moth
ing doing there. Then he proved by
two witnesses that Hodgins was at the
Topeka Club busily engaged in bust
ness at the time of the catastrophe to
the dog and Mr.. Sheard. Then "DicIxf'
took solemn oath that all his dogs
were still alive. and that he had not
poked Mr.. Sheard in the jugular for kill
ing one of them. There was nothing
left for the court to do. but discharge
Mr.. BOdgins. Then Attorney Hagan
spoke up and said that, perchance Mr..
Sheard saw fit to offer a reward suf-
ficiently large to pay the fine of the real
culprit, he might, maybe, perhaps,
name the guilty man.
As the case now stands Mr. Sheard
is up against it, as far as getting JUS

WHERE DANGER LIES.
War Is Liable to Break Out at
Any Time.

Berlin, May 9.-The German govern
ment regards the TurkO- Bulgarian stu
alton as being grave. but responsible
officials say that if collision can be
sober counsels can get hearing in the
winter when military action is impos-
sible.
Regarding the mutual recriroination
Of Turkey and Bulgaria in imputing
belllcose purposes. the officials here say
Iurke-' certainl-y can not wish for wal
because she IS unable to bear the ex-
pense and knows beforehand that the
powers would not permit territorial ex-
Dans.on as result Of victory It is
also believed that Bulgaria, while show
ing deDlorably weak attitude towards
the revolutionary elements, does not de-
sire war The powers have made rep
reservations to Sofia emphasizing the
possibility of allowing Bulgaria to rea-
lie the fundamental aims of its policy
namelys tie acquisition of part of Mac
edonla The covers know that the
partltlon of Macedonia in favor of Bull
garia would cause Greece, Servia and
olher countries to raise claims for Turk
lsh territory; hence the powers are
unltedly determined not to permit any
cnange IN the status quo. On the other
ndnd, the reforms in Macedonia. which
through the outbreaks of violence at
oalonlca. must be carried out and
Austfla-Hungary and Russia, which are
concerned, will see through their CON
suls that they are carried out
II is understood that the powers in
thelf representations at Sofa reproach-
ing the Bulgarian cabinet with showing
weakness toward the revolutions point
ed out the necessity for more energet-
ic attitude
In addition to the communications
made TO the government at Sofia the
powers have made representations at
Constantinople which have convinced
Turkey of the hopelessness of deriving
any territorial or pecuniary advaurage
from attacking Bulgaria
Nevertheless danger lies in the fact
that Turkish and Bulgarian troops are
facing each other on the frontier and in
proximity to il, rendering more or less
accidental collision possible. which could
easily grow into uncomfortable dimea-
sions The situation therefore is hav-
ing depressing effect on the German
bourses, is preventing any operations on
a large scale.
