sTie for first.

le lVl lIst.
 Yale was supreme in but one major sport, but was, however, tied in anoth- CT. rowing. In only football were the Ellis supreme, Yale depending for it's prestige in minor sports. Cornell was not supreme in any of the four, but was tied with Yale in rowing and Princeton on the diamond Track ath- letics, the only other major sport saw preme.
 Harvard furnishes the surprise of the statistics, for the only sport in which the Crimson reigned supreme was ten his, the New Englanders winning both the singles and doubes at PhiladeI- phia. Doubtless, Haryards poor show ing is due in large measure to the cold water thrown on all intercollegiate sports by the Crimson authorities.
 In football rowing, basketball and chess the intercollegiate title had to be awarded by close examination of the ability of the teams during the season and according to general verdict. Tn football there was no big college which won every game but Yale was the only one which did not suffer defeat The Eli gridlronl artists did not play Cor nell, Pennsylvania and the Indians, but their records of undefeat gives them the title.
 In rowing Yale ought to be consider ed as we'll as Cornell. The two crews met Harvard and both showed an equal superiority over the Crimson. It is true that in past years the public sen, timent has been that Cornelrs eight was superior to any other in the coun- try. but in 1897 Yale was on equal terms with Cornell, and as they did not meet there was no superiority. Tn foot ball there was a loophole. Yale did not meet with defeat, while Cornell perish II. of P. eleven lost it's only game of the season to Carlisle. The Indians fell to Princeton and the Tigers lost to Yale.
 The tie in baseball is due to the fact that Princeton and Cornell did not meet on the diamond last year on account of the Tigers attitude. On the strength of the seasons play there is little doubt that Cornell paved more con- sistent game than Princeton and most unprejudiced persons are inclined to the belief that the Ithacans were stronger than the Tigers O.. the diamond
 In chess there were two associations, the quadrangular, made up of Harvard, Columbia, Yale and Princeton, and the triangular. made ur of Cornell, Pena- sylvania and Brown. Only once did the two associations meet in a dual tourney and then the triangular men won.
 Many athletic authorities have suf- fered themselves to be impressed with the opinion that Yale enjoyed a decid- ed advantage over all the other teams in the league by reason of the fact that the Ellis at times used a freshman player Yale was bound, as were Princeton and Harvard not to use freshmen on the varsity teams Co., lumbia Pennsylvania and Cornell, who were also in the basketball league were not bound by any eligibility rules pre- venting freshmen from playing and Yale considered that she had the right 10 use a freshman player when she played these three teams The only freshman player Eli used on the occa- sion was Murphy a star guard

JAPAN NOT AFTER POWDER.
At Least Importation of Saltpeter
 May be for Another Purpose.

Washington. Jan. 2.-Counselor Mi
 yaokaa, charge daffaires of the Japan- ese embassy, stated to-day that he had heard nothing of the reported activity of his government in shipping salt peter and yucca from Chile to Japan for manufacture into explosives, news of which has been brought to San Francisco by passengers arriving from Iquique MT. Miyaoka declares that preparatory to the establishment of a line of steamers between Japan and Iuuique an effort would have been made to obtain a government subsidy as stimulus to the business. Nothing in the reports which have come from Japan either officially or in the news papers, he says, contains any informa. ton of that character. This fact in- clines him to believe that whatever shipments of saltpeter and yucca are progress are for private purposes.

They accepted Bridge ports tactics of driving and not pass ing and a result nearly spoiled vic tory,

 Saunders has prospered by words of kindly advice, and is holding down the position of halfback better than any halfback in the league.
 Bridgeport seemed surprised at the fast work of Ole and Mccarthy. and still have they been surprised that New Haven was not lower than third place. If the Park City fans could see Ole and Bone work together they would think there should he few more rounds added to the top of the National league ladder.

Il appreciate very much the efforts
of the Democrats who attempted to Sc
cure a resolution in the state cOnven-
ton in harmony with the vote of the
Democrats at the primaries. The differ
ence between the primaries and the
state convention illustrates fOrcibly the
necessity for primaries. When voters
speak for themselves they say what
they think and do what they please.
When voters put their interests in the
hands of uninstructed delegates they
take chances on the delegates using the
power for themselves and against the
voters. IL is just such betrayals of
public trust that have led 10 the ex-
tension of the primary system"

STRUCK WITH BLACKJACK
Robert C. P. Holmes of Chicago Muir
dered on His Way Home
From a Meeting.

Chicago, May 21.-RObert G. p.
Holmes. purchasing agent for the
Commonwealth Edison Electric com
pany, was found dead in an alley in
the downtown district with a deep cut
over the left eye. fTacturing the skull.
The mans pockets had been turned
inside out and their contents We're
missing. together with a diamond shirt
stud, diamond ring and the buttons
Holmes last night attended the
meeting of the National Electric Light
association. and his departure from
the hotel was the last seen of him
alive. 1t is believed that he was on
his way TO take the elevated road at
the Adams street station when he was
either decoyed or dragged into the al
ley where his dead body was found.
Late today a negro suffering from
cuts on his hands and face was arrest =
ed. He became violent when ques-
lions regarding the Holmes murder
were asked him. and il is believed that
he had something to do with it,
An autopsy performed by the coro-
ner's physician showed that Holmes
was killed by a blow on the left eye,
probably from d blackjack or similar
weapon. The examination showed
that the victims physical condition
was such that he was not able to with
stand the shock, which probably
would not have proved fatal TO a more
robust man. The theory that he had
been stricken with apOplexy and later
robbed was dismissed.
