WRESTLING
SONS OF ELI
 GREAT MAT MEN Yale Will Lose Some of Her Best Crapplers-More of the
 Stransle News.

The Yale wrestling team has just finished the most successful season in it's history. It has won every meet it has been by wide margins. It took seven matches from Columbia, six from Cornell with three men. In the intercollegiates Yale won four firsts. The two Doles, Parker, and Captain Foster each coming out first. Goebel, the Yale heavyweight. came out second in his event. This com bination' judging from the places taken in the intercollegiate, would defeat the combined teams of the other four colleges which comprise the league.
 During the past year Walter O'Connor has proved first class coach and will undoubtedly be en- gagged for next year At the close of the last meet Parker was elected captain for next year. the vote being unanimous. Tot Cellar, the feather weight, was chosen to. manage the team.
 By graduation the Yale team loses Captain Foster, who Is one of the best wrestlers who has ever been in Yale and who during the past sea son has proved his worth as leader and a companion for the other mem- bers of the team. Another loss will be that of the Dole brothers, who nave wrestled with the team for about five years. The other mem- bers of the team all return.

An other said no. the child should eat rare beef but could not drink milk because Of germs. I said to him:
 You have no logic. Where would you find the most germs-in the flesh of the COW or in the milk that comes from the cow?'' He could not answer. The only important thing about diet is not to eat too much. That makes one heavy and stupid. and slow. Always stop when you feel like eating more.

HIGGINS BROKE THE ICE.

Hartford went about her work Saturday night as if she meant it
 and soon had commanding lead in
 the polo game. The locals seemed to
 be. in a deep sleep and scarcely
 realized that the game was being
 taken away from them. The only
 scoring done in the first period was
 that made by Hartford, when two
 goals were chalked up to her credit.
 After Hartford had made another in
 the third, the fans began to get real angry and they said a few things that hurt the feelings of the local players. Then Waterbury temporarily awoke and two goals came in quick style, one by Higgins and one by Jason. Back we relapsed again how ever and during the relapse Hartford scored once more. The second period ended with the score to against us. In the third the full awakening came. Higgins took the first rush line himself and at the sound of the whistle was on to the ball like al shot. He never let go of it either and juggling 1t by the opposing play CTS, in five seconds he had dropped 1t back of Sutherland and the fans rose in ecstaey. Our applause was nipped in the bud however for in a little over one minute Hartford had scored twice and the game looked cinch | for the visitors. But Higgins was still in the game and twice more he slammed in the ball in less than three minutes and we were within | one of the visitors. Jack Fahey had been watching his opportunity all night and it came in less than five minutes later and he slammed one in that tied the score. Higgins then went after the game to elinch it and in about six minutes he had smashed n two and the game was ours. Hartford fought desperately to over ,ome the lead but it was impossible.

POLO
ONE WEEK IS
 NOW CUT OFF League Season Will End Next Saturday-Results of Games
 Saturday Night.

The warm weather has caused the
 cutting short of the National Polo
 league one week, which means the season will close on Saturday night instead of a week from Saturday night, according to the schedule adopted by the league managers. The majority of polo players de- clared that the weather has become too warm for such strenuous indoor exercises. They did not strike, how ever, but the team managers met yesterday afternoon and voted to wind up the season Saturday night. George Bone of New liaven and Cunningham of Pawtucket favored finishing the season accor ding to the schedule, but the other managers voted against such a proposition.
 Secretary J. W. Pyne of Hartford presided at the meeting wing to the absence of President Bill Smith of Bridgeport. All the teams were rep resented and the managers with the exception of Starkie, all reported having made money this season and well satisfied with the financial end Of the game. In comparing notes and figures it was found that Provi- dence and New Haven came out the best, both teams making a neat sum of money during the season.
 In New Britain and Bridgeport not as much money has been bade as first anticipated, but enough cleared to satisfy the respective managers. The Hartford team has just about broken even owing to having been obliged to change its home so many times and tramp about the universe to get settled.
 The managers voted to hold the annual meeting of the National league in New Britain April 15, when the officers for next years will be elected and preliminary plans made for the next season il polo.
 All of the team managers will re- serve the present list of players. Manager Bone still holds Charlie Farrell, the center, who played with the New Haven team up to recently. He says he will not use Farrell, but will hold him on his reserve list, which will keep him from playing with any other team in the league. some one sprang post season. but he matter was quickly disposed of by those who voted to end the sea- son this week and so there will be 10 post season series.

THE DIAMOND
THE STYLE OF
 SCORING IS BAD No Uniformity and But Few Scorers Understand the Correct
 Methods.

When one man scores a play one
 way and another takes a directly op-
 posite view to the play. just put it
 down for good and all that there is something radically wrong with the
 scoring rules, saws Ed Bang in the St Louis Star-Chronicle. Uniformity
 is lacking. There should be revi- sion of the rules, and the sooner the better.
 Hundreds of just criticisms of the present day scoring rules could be set forth. The scoring code to-day is loud howl. Any one person who tried to settle the thousand and one difficult and perplexing ques- tions that come up in a seasons scoring from the batch of rules now in force would be a fit subject for the dippy place.
 Every scorer in the country would be happy if next year the joint rules committees of the big leagues got together, tore up the present rules. called in several newspaper men and drafted an entirely new set of rules which would result in uniformity in scoring.
 Usage day after day of their own method in scoring certain plays by sporting scribes ultimately makes them unwritten scoring rules. It is seldom that two or more scorers agree on how to score by one intri- cate play. I know a veteran base ball writer in Boston who does not give a batter credit for a sacrifice hit if the latter turns the trick with one man on the retired list. His explanation is: Tt isn't baseball and it isn't right to give him a sac- rifice hit"
 know another scorer. the dean 1 of the profesh south of the Mason and Dixon line, who gives a player 1 who starts a double play two assists. | know of no other scorers who | will agree with them in their own | stereotyped methods. As for yours | truly, he would give but one assist | o man starting a double play and would credit any batter with sac -ifice hit who can lay down a sacri- ice with one man out, even though \ he play came up eighteen times dur ng a game.
 The scorers are cutting a lot of ce in these baseball days. Players Ire bought and sold and go of 100 Ire judged by their averages. It is therefore necessary that these SCOT. ITS be reliable. Under the present ank system there Is absolutely no hance of accuracy. I'
