YALE spRINTER HURT.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 5.-The
Yale track team has just sustained a
loss which, it is feared, may cost the
college the dual games with Princeton
this Saturday and the games with
Harvard at Cambridge a week later.
Lester Barber Stevens, of Milwaukee,
the best Splinter at Yale for years, has
injured his knee and will be unable to
compete in the sprints. He has been
running the 100 yards in ten seconds
fiat and was counted upon to win the
sprints in both sets of games. Stevens
was stepping on a a when he felt a
tendon snap.

Reports from the French Capital
Are Really Startling if
They Are True.
BY OLD

Paris has gone mad over the fighting
game, and from all accounts women
over there, so-called society women, to
the tune of 5000 are to be found seated
around the ringside watching the brutal
game of fisticuffs. Now you must not
confuse this fighting game of ours with
what they are giving out in Paris.
They do not use the same XII of a
glove there as we do here, and again
the opponents are not evenly matched.
All this lends q brutal surrounding to
the affair. There is no such a thing as
boxing in Paris, because there is no one
over there who knows the art of boxing.
The game is crude, and it will take
some time before the finesse of the
game will be exploited upon the men
and the women, who are raving over
what little they have seen. Some wise
Mike of an American win drop into Paris
and put the game where 1t belongs,
inc when he does he will make a for
tune, unless the women fans protest
against the brutality of the thing being
taken away.

and kill him. They wanted blood.
When McVey won, these women fought
to get near McVey to shower their af-
fections on him. If that happened in
this country, 1 would be among the first
to ask that the game of boxing be
wiped from the sporting map.
Our Women the Best.
All other countries may sing the
praises of their womanhood, but no
country is as good as ours when 1t
comes to the woman question. What

will not send his pot stick after them.
Devore seems to be able to get his
little hit in about every game.
President Pat Powers is bound to
play no favorites, even if it hurts the
clubs. His suspension of DARBY
O'Brien for ''sassing" an Jump got that
worthy three days lay-off, and now
comes Holly with three days tackled on
him. Umpire batting does not loon2fup
very strong with me, but it IS hardly
such a serious crime as to necessitate
laying a player off for three days.
Well, p. T. started late to prevent
alleged rowdy baseball, but we'll have
to help him out, I suppose.
This afternoon the Tigers n Bron-
cos will try conclusions again. A VIC
tory for the locals may put them in
second place if things break right all
around, and considering that our team
is merely a volunteer one, why, we
won't kick if they don't get up there.
But let us hope they do, though.
Bannister or Barger will probably do
the honors for the Broncos and prob-
ably Neuer or Mueller for the locals.

Jack, we will get him at home!" Oh.
no.. He had nurses to brush the dust

He is the son of the wealthy and not

And did you hear, old man.
What Stallngs did the other day.
To poor "Umps' Sullivan?
OF course, it wasn't nice at all,
And Tige felt sore, you bet,
He'd rather gone and hit the ball,
For that he'd not regret.
But things like that are in the game,
And happen every day,
Let's give them both part of the blame,
And let it pass away;
Just think of all the future bright,
Come, fill your heart with joy,
And hope and root with all your might
Like our Head Office Boy.
Tige's in the game to fight and win,
But sometimes he must lose,
So just keep on that pleasant grin,
Don't go round with the blues.
Thesetiups' and downs are nothing new,
Just stick to Georgia T.
And he will pull our Tigers through,
Now you just wait and see.
There's something new, we must admit,
It's not the balls, or bats,
At every game they make a hit,
Those merry Widow" hats.
They help the crowd join in the noise,
And make the park look gay.
So. like them. let's be happy, boys.
