orneIl's Honors.

A study Of the records made by the dif-
fereut teams TO date would seem 70 give
tae houors % the Cornell team. which has
played remarkably consistent game
from the start When the season opened.
the Cornell nine had been riddled by
graduation and other things. so that
Coach C00gan had % begin at the very
bottom and build up his nine. The former
Pennsylvania man was equal 90 the occa-
sion. for he has gathered together won
derful team. Il is true that Cornell has
lost some games, but most of these have
been extra inning contests. when the
slightest slip decides the issue. In all
other games Cornell has won strictly on
merit and the 1897 team VIII rank as the
best ever turned out az Cornell
The Princeton team is also strong. but
il has proved much more erratic than
Cornell, and az times has been easy 20
beat The Tigers are practically as strong
as the lthaoans in the pitching and field
ing departments. but the Comedians are
the better batsmen, and. all other things
being equal this is what determines the
winner ON this account. the chances
would favor Cornell If a series Of games
could h- played between the two.
The Yale team runs Cornell and Prince
ton pretty close. The Els have played
erratC ball. without doubt, but they have
also shown some terrific batting strength.
and when at their best would probably
prove the equal Of Cornell and Prince
ton. The Harvard nine is out Of consid-
GRAFTON for championship honors, because
of los defeat hy Cornell and its double de-
feat no the hands Of Princeton. Penn
syiVania's team this year is a curious
combination In Brady. Simpson Fen
NELL and TWitmire. the QUakors have
quartet of pitchers which none Of their
rivals can beat. but the Pennsylvanians
are woefully weak with the stick. and
are worse instead of better as the sea-
son advances If Yale had the Pennsyl-
van.a pitching staff, the Els would be in
yiueihIe.

Broadway. Before he was assigned to
duty az the field the city officials were
often troubled by the action of young

Now all Is changed. The mere presence
of the pugilist is sufficient to awe the

ever was a college baseball

If there ever was a college baseball
season which emphasized the need Of an
Intercollegiate association to determine
the championship this is the year. Under
the present conditions it is only by chance
that the title is awarded without a dis
pute.
Until this year II has 50 happened that
the honor went to Yale. Princeton. or
Harvard, three universities which play
with each other series OF two games,
and three if necessary, 20 break the tie.
But this season two outsiders are dis
putting PTinCetOn's right to the champion
ship laurels. They are Cornell and VIII
Jams. Although Williams came near
cleaning up everything on her trip 10 the
Middle West the schedule Of the Massa-
Chusetts boys does not include as many
important games as does that Of Cornell
At the present rate of winning VIC
tories, il is likely that Princeton and
Cornell will be compelled to divide the
hOnOTs. For some reason, the Princeton
management this year refused 70 schedule
the usual two games with Cornell As ill
luck would have IT. the two teams which
ought TO night it out for the premier
honors viii not meet at all and any title
must be awarded according TO compara-
tive scores. or be equally divided. Both
of these methods are extremely unsatis-
factory.
Movements have been started al various
times 20 organize an intercollegiate base
ball association and 20 arrange a regular
intercollegiate schedule 20 award the
title, as IS done in the minor sports, such
as basketball cricket. and association
football The movement has failed 10
date solely through the hostility Of Yale,
Harvard, and Princeton. who seem anX-
ious 10 maintain their exciusiyeness at
the expense Of the sport and its needs.
Cornell, Pennsylvania, Columbia, and
Dartmouth have been favorable 10 tho

Wassal! Wassail over the town
Our toast it is white; our ale 1t is brown;
Our bowl it is made of the mapln tree.
We be good fellows all drink to thee.
In parts of England the old year is
"swept out" by men and boys who
black their faces to resemble sweeps,
and in other places it is "rung OUT by
muffied bells until the midnight hour,
then allowing the clear notes to sound
thereafter. The hot pint of the was
sail drink at the midnight hour is still
ouite common. The front and back
doors are opened at IL o'clock also, to
let the bad spirits out and the good
spirits in, while all peacock feathers
are thrown away before this event lest
i'll luck follow during the year. Also
bundles of bits of money, bread, wood,
coal and salt, are placed on the door

nay" But what this means, no one
seems to know. The application of the
term is in a custom of children to en-
robe themselves in street and go the
rounds of houses on. New Years eve,
knocking at the doors and crying
"Hogmanay." In response they al
ways get an oat cake, rich with fruit,
and sometimes, in addition, some
cheese and goodies. This is their
"Hogmanay." Housewives are kept
busy days in advance preparing little
cakes for their ghost-like visitors and
it is regarded as something of a bad
omen to run short and not be able to
supply the demand. While Hog
manay" Is the usual cry it is often sup
plemented by "trollolay" and the more
daring will add the privileged rhyme
Rise up, guide wife, and shake your fea-
theirs,
Dinna think that we are beggars;
We are BARNS come to play
And to seek our Hogmanay.
