YALE'S CAGE X FARCE.

New Haven. Feb 2S--Nearly one hun dred candidates for the Yale Univer- sity baseball team reported in the the direction of Captain Bowman and Head Coach Billy Lush. the star out fielder of the Cleveland Americans.
 Among the number are twenty-six freshmen, all that were held over from the squad of over one hundred that re- ported month ago.
 The men were set to work alternate " batting grounders along the long narrow cage and fielding them. in squads of six at time.
 Then at times the pitching candi- dates served up curves for the batters. but had all they could do to get out of the way of those balls that were hit. so that the fielders could get at them. Many men had hardly single chance to show whether or not they even knew how to throw or catch a ball.
 Never was YaIe's deficiency in the proper accommodation for carly base ball training so strongly shown up as it was yesterday. The barn in which the hundred men and coaches gathered is about twenty-five feet wide. one hundred feet lonn and about twelve feet high. and Billy Lush had all he could do to keen in the laughs as he contemplated what a farce it is to try and select the best men from his scuad on the showing thev are able to make under t,.ese conditions.

At the end the westerner had the black boy bleeding from cuts oh the lip and battered nose, while he himself was not visibly hurt. The first round was fairly even. with both men feeling out with number of jabs and swings. In the second. howevei. Schreck let loose in earnest. and at one time staggered Cole with a hard right smash to the stomach Cole drew blood with light left to Sthreck's mouth. but it was of no con sequence. It was easily Schreck s round. as was also the third. but in the fourth Cole did his best work and won the honors for that session The last two rounds were all in favor of Mike. and he had Cole badly winded at the finish.

THIRTEEN DEAD.
Brooklyn ( Church Floor Collapsed With Three Hundred Worshipers.


 { With Three Hundred Worshipers.
 NEW YORK. Feb. 2S.-Thirteen per. sons were killed and upward of fifty injured, some probably fatally, by the collapse of the flooring of the Fleet Street African Methodist Episcopal church in Brooklyn last night. Of those killed ten were women, two men and one child. The building was an ancient ramshackle frame structure, erected sixty years ago in the heart of the colored section of Brooklyn, in Fleet street, near Myrtle avenue.
 Arrangements had been made last night to hold the funeral services of Sydney Fainter, one of the older mem- bers of the church, and the auditorium, which is on the second floor of the building, the ground floor being occu- pied by the Sunday school, was crowd ed with an audience of upward of 300 persons, of whom the majority were women.
 The congregation was waiting in si- lence for the arrival of the body, and Pastor Jacobs was standing at the altar awaiting the summons to meet the funeral procession at the door when sharp cracking of timbers was heard, and ill an instant the half of the au- ditorum nearest the door collapsed, carrying down more than 100 persons, who were crushed in the wreckage of the flooring and pews. A great volume of dust for a few moments hid from view the victims. The remainder of the audience, finding themselves cut off from the door and expecting every instant that the rest of the flooring ! would collapse under them, fought madly to reach the windows and in some instances leaped from them and sustained serious injuries.
 Scenes of intense terror followed the accident. One woman, Mrs. Bertha Greene, who had not been caught in the crash, dropped dead from fright Other women, men and children flung themselves headlong through the stain ed glass windows of the church to the street below, distance of twenty feet
 On the arrival of the police and fire men the work of rescue began. Those remaining uniniured on the portion of , the floor remaining intact were taken 1 from the windows by ladders. Those I lying in the mass of wreckage on the 1 lower floor could only be got at after the hremen had hewed their way to them with axes. Out of the wreck ten bodies were recovered and taken to a ! station house and about thirty removed to the Brooklyn hospital, where three women died soon after being admitted.

IN THE SENATE.
Senator Carmnck Made an Attack on
 Roosevelt Policy,

tOoSeNtIt IOIcy.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S. Every time we build new battleship we have a new spasm of terror, and so every time we have q new spasm we build a new ship" exclaimed Senator Carmack in beginning a speech against heavy increase of the navy and in criticism of the president and 'Roose. veltism."
 "We have just elected to the office of chief executive" Mir. Carmack con .-tinued, "the most brilliant and strenu- ous gentleman who ever planted his armored heel upon our soil. He has inculcated the love of war for its own sake He teaches the doctrine that peace is destructive of all the manly virtues, he is afflicted with an incura- ble propensity to interfere with the affairs of other nations, especially with those of the republics to the south of us"
 The attack on the president in the senate came as an incident to the dis cussion of the naval bill, which was passed with the provision for two new battleshps.

HARVARD V3 YALE
The Crimson Expec.s To Trim Yale
 lhiS Year.

There is well founded growing suspicion among Harvard men that this is to be banner year in Crimson athletics. It is expected that Yale will be beaten in almost every branch of sport.
 Already have the Harvard teams triumphed over the blue in hockey and basketball, and now the track men are looking forward sanguinely to the dual meet and the intercollegiates. in both of which they fully expect to trim Mike Murphy's stars.
 The baseball team is very little weakened by the loss of q couple of last years stars, as there is q large list of fast-looking candidates from which the coaches say they will pick ''phenoms" enough to trounce Yale on the diamond, as they have done for the past few years regularly.
 The crew, especially, is Hooking up," and the Ellis will have to watch carefully or their long series of vic tories on the Thames will be broken in June. Only two men are lost from last years Harvard crew, and with an abundance of good material to draw from there seems little likelihood of not being able to fill their places.

STRAY BITS OF SPORT.

The six day bicycle race that was run in Philadelphia last week was un- satisfactory from several points of view. It is declared by some persons that the finish looked more like an exhibition than a genuine contest After forty-eight hours of riding. two men. Root and Grebs. finished so close together that the referee could not separate them. So an extra mile was ordered Instead of going out and riding a fast mile the two men loafei for nine laps. and in the eleventh Root fell. allowing Krebs to go on .and win. Six day bicycle races apparently will not be as popular in future as in the past. because of the behavior of the contestants
 Ralph Rose says that in practice he has put the shot more than 90 feet and has thrown the hammer more than 1SO feet He declareS that he will equal these figures In competition some day and that they will stand as rscords for many years to come.

THE DIAMOND.
LITTLE DONE
 YESTERDAY
Connecticut Lea que Did Not Give tut Schedu.e-Stiil Doub .ful Of Danaher- Fui z a Lawyer.

New Haven, Feb 28-No playing schedule was adopted by the Connect icut Baseball league at the meeting held yesterday afternoon at the Hotel Garde. The main feature of the meet ing was general discussion of the proposed schedule, but behind closed doors the situation in the minor cities was gone over at length.
 It is no secret that in Meriden, New London and Norwich the expenses of the teams have made the league decide on more liberal terms of the big cities toward them and every means will be taken to prop up the non-supportins members of the league this year. In New Haven the attitude of Cornelius J. Danaher, the owner of the team. Is causing much apprehension to the owners of hines in other cities and it is openly rumored that Mir Danaher may try to get revenge on his old ad- verSary, James H. O'ROurke, the Bridgeport owner, in some way when the season is more nearly ready to open and when the league directors may have less time to protect them selves.
 MT Danaher did not come down from his home In Meriden to attend yester- days session. He sent letter by the Meriden representative, w. Percy Bristol, authorizing Mir Bristol to rep resent him in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the New Haven nine. No announcement could be squeezed from Mir Bristol during the secret ses- sion about the probable course of Mir Danaher.
 The league was in session nearly three hours. When the men came out Mir O'Rourke announced the appoint ment of Thomas l.. Reilly of Meriden, formerly manager of hines in New Haven, Meriden and Hartford, to the office of supervisor of umpires. "This office as created" said Secretary O'Rourke, ''glves Mir Reilly absolute power as far as the umpires are con- cerned. He will have salary of $200 year, but will have to do no umpir- ing. Mir Reilly has wide knowledge of players and umpires and will iul- prove this branch of the league busi- ness."
 In the discussion of the schedule it was noted that there were days
 
 enough in the time between the open ing of the season and the closing to warrant each teams playing seven- teen games. instead of the usual six teen, with each of it's seven rival mem- bers of the league. The league then voted to have seventeen games played, the larger city in ench pairing getting the odd game and gate receipts being equally divided.
 The session yesterday afternoon was in reality meeting of the schedule committee. consisting of Secretary O'Rourke. Charles Humnhreys of New London and Daniel O'Neill nf Spring field. All three members of the sched- ule committee have been puttering along with tenative lists but it was said that at the meeting yesterday the only one which was trotted out was that by James H. O'Rourke.
