Patrons of American street cars will carefully watch the experiment which the London county council has decided to try in running street cars for wom cn only" at certain hours of the day and on certain lines. Thlo innova ton has been decided upon AS a result of constant complaints from women of their inability to secure accommoda- tions on the cars as now operated, They insist that there Is such a rush for seats at the close of working hours that the women are forced to one side, often Injured in the crush, and compelled to wait for hours or walk to their homes, while selfish men monoolize the traction facilities. To relieve the situation, the council has decided to order cars for women only"

BUTLER OUT OF IT Yale Sprinter Will Be Unahlo to Run Any More This
 Spring. TENDON AGAIN PULLED Burch Also Hurt on the First Day of Work After the Princeton
 Meet.

The Yale track athletes camo through Saturdays meet remarkably well and yesterday nearly all of them were at the track with the prospects bright for defeating Harvard next Saturday. These prospects were somewhat darkened by the injuries to Jerry Butler and Robbie Burrh, two of the Yale sprinters, the ilrst of whom who had his first regular work for month yesterday.
 Butler and Burch started off for some light work yesterday afternoon and in the first few minutes each pull ed again tendon which had been injured q few weeks ago. Butler was injured a few weeks before the Easter recess and so did not stay over va- cation with the other athletes Burch was hurt on the track during tho spring football practice and though he was entered in last Saturdays meet he did not place.
 With these two sprinters out and with tho probability that Stevens, who did tho hundred in ten seconds at the Pennsylvania meet, every precau- ton Is being taken to prevent Carey from overdoing or from being injured. He will probably have only light work all the week and will be in the best of condition for the Harvard meet.

A large crowd of fans hiked down to the Savin Rock grounds yesterday afternoon and were forced to come back to the city without seeing the game of ball that was scheduled to take place. The local management failed absolutely to send In word of notice to the effect that the game would not take place and at their door must be placed the blame.
 It was an Ideal day for a game in fact the first real good baseball day of the season-and in consequence a large crowd were disappointed One proverbial follower of the New Haven clubs success laid off from his run to Boston as fireman and was greatly dlspleased over the mix-up. It is de- cidedly up to the management to keep in closer touch with the news papers in order that yesterdays dltfl- culty may be avoided in the future.

SENIORS DOWN SCRUBS.
Interesting Clnss Game Yesterday at
 Bakers Lot

In a very interesting game at Bakers lot yesterday afternoon, the Seniors of the High school defeated the Freshman by the score of 6 to 2. The 1908 men led at all stages of the game, being closely pressed by the scrubs, the score at the eighth inning being to 1 in favor of the upper class men. In the fifth inning, when the freshman made a desperate rally to secure runs with three men on bases, their hopes being blasted by a neat double play from Pagter to Car roll of the seniors. In the ninth inn ing the freshman again filled the bases, when they were again doomed to disappointment, for Currle, the center fielder of the seniors, made beautiful catch. The only three bag ger of the game was made by Cohen of the seniors, who did the backstop- ping. He knocked in three runs by this hit. Scholtz, their pitcher, caus- ed eight of the 1917 men to fan the air and only permitted one man to walk. Besides this he only allowed four hits, Captain Culver although given little chance, did well.
 The lineup for the seniors follow: Cohen, C.; Scholtz D.; Van Dyclte. h.; Carroll, 2b,; Culver, Sb; Pagter, ps.; Gettngs, lf, Currie, cf; Gustafson, f.,
