Dark curly hair, long nose, blue
eyes, typical priest mouth-on the
order of an Irishman's-so I told
him once--rather tall and slender.
That's as good description as / can
give of him. Don't think he's
handsome, for while he's fairly good
looking he would never be styled a
beauty.
"He said that some time he wanted
me to join the order called The
Confraternity OF The Blessed Sacra-

engagement was announced and I
could attend his church.

In closing. Edna Clark wrote:
"Dld tell you expect to see my

YALE AND HARVARD
TO MEET BRITCNS

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Feb. Am
all-American college team to meet an
ll-English college team is not looked
on with favor at Yale, because the fol-
lowers of track sports think that any
move for the formation of such a
team would be fruitless.
The Yale men think the English
track men would not go into a meet
with representatives from many of the
small colleges throughout the United
States. What Yale men believe the
English track men want, and what,
from private correspondence, appears
to be almost a certainty, is a dual
meet with Yale and Harvard. The
only English universities to have men
on the team would be Oxford and
Cambridge. Yale and Harvard both
strongly favor a meet with Oxford and
Cambridge and think they could win
everything except the distance runs.
Yale's greatest strength would not be
tested, that of pole vaulting, where she
has the present national champion,
Walter Dray, captain of the track
team, and the former champion, A. G.
Gilbert. A pole vault Is not one of the
events in an international meet.
From the Yale point of view the
Harvard Yale team would be made up
in the following way:
100-yard dash-Butler of Yale and
Dodge of Harvard.
440 yards-Merrihew of Harvard and
Deselden of Harvard.
800 yards-Tilson of Yale and Wat
son OF Harvard.
Miie-Haddon of Harvard and Spit
ger OF Yale.
e-mile-Crosby of Harvard and
Dole of Harvard.
12O-yard hurdles-Rand Of Harvard
and Howe of Yale.
Hammer throw-Cooney and Andrus
of Yale.
High jump-Harwoed and somers of
Harvard.
Broad jump-Davis of Yale and Lit
tie of Harvard.
Captain Walter Dray says, in regard
to a dual meet with oxford and Cam
bridge: yale would be very glad to
ioin with Harvard in sending a team
to meet the two great English univer-
stiles. No open negotiations have
been entered upon and we have neither
received nor sent q challenge. 1 under
stand that indirect negotiations have
been entered upon. The movement
grows out of the one started last year
of having a meet at the Harvard sta
dunn. When negotiations were begun

There was a chilly sensation in the

blanket of clouds, which finally gave
the street good ducking. commencing
about 8 o'clock in the afternoon. The
weather continued rather wet all even
ing.
This last change of the weather has
not been received so joyfully as the
previous rainy spell. since the former
rain was sufficient to prepare the
ground of the farms for tilling, and
this second installment prevented the
farmers from working the ground.
This year has it's eye on last season,
however, and evidently the rainy sea-

PITCHER
TELLS STORY ON HIMSELF

Pitcher Joss of Cleveland tells the
following story:
collie Pickering beat the Maps out or
a game at Philadelphia in 1908. RUDE
Waddeu and myself were the opposing
twirlers and we were both having a
good day. Each scored run early IN
the game, but from then on TO the
fourteenth inning there was notnlng
doing. In our half of that inning II
looked like a score, as WIN one uut'
Hickman and Mccarthy singled, plac-
ing men on first and second.
"Flick had the Rube three balls and
no strikes and things looked mighty
fine. The big fellow steadied and got
over a couple of strikes, and with the
count standing three to two, handed up
a curve ball.
"Hickman and Mac started double
steal Just as the RUDE began to pitcn.
Elmer swung and missed and Schreck
snapped the ball to third to Lave
Cross. who put it on Hiek before he
reached the bag-and the Athletics
were out of a dangerous place.
''Iartsel was the first man at the bat
for Philadelphia, and Hopsy hit ny
ball to Bay, which the Silver easily
caught.
pickering, who hit second in the
batting order, strobe to the plate. The
first two balls I pitched him were fast
ones, and he fouled both of them.
Bemis signaled me for another fast
one. but 1 shook my head. / figured
I could afford to waste a curve ball on
him. Pick can murder low ball, and
instead of getting the pellet on the out
side. where l tried to pitch 1t, the
blamed thing took fast break and
curved Just little inside the plate and
right down in his groove.
"The right field fence at Philadel-
phia is short and in order to keep the
hitters from making home runs when
ever they feel so inclined, Connie Mack
has built a wire screen about hfty rect
high on top of the fence.
"Pickering gave the ball an uppercut
lin fact, played cricket with the
sphere. There was a strong wind
blowing directly toward the fence, and
when the ball got high enough to
clear the stands the wind got a full
chance to carry 1t.
'The bali kept on going until 1t hit
the screen right over the scoreboard:
The wind was blowing so strong 1t had
bent the screen out a ways from the
bottom of the fence.
INSTEAD of the ball coming back
from the screen, as 1t naturally would,
IT rolled down and hit the top OF the
scoreboard. 1t hung there as If 1t was
making up its mind which way to fall.
ITO rs IL seemed an eternity, and
when IL finally decided to drop behind
the scoreboard It was time to pick up
the bats, as the meeting was over.

OF Mr. Ripley's statement. that after

CHESS TOURNEY IS
NOWON SCHEDULE

PITTSBURG, Feb. 2.-The Pillsbury
National Correspondence Chess associ-
alton announces its twelfth annual
tournament, which began today, and
will be conducted under the playing
rules of the association.
For the purposes of this association
the territory covered by it is set off
into eight geographical divisions: New
England, Atlantic Eastern, Central,
Midland, Southern, Western and
Northern In each division the players
will be grouped in sections, usually in
fives, and the winners of such sections
will rece i've the association bronze
medals. In case of a tie score for first
place In a section, the result of the in
dividual game or games shall deter
mine the winner; if this test proves
lnconclusive, then all the players en-
gagged in the tie may. enter the semi
final round.
In eacn division the players winning
their sections will play then for semi
final honors. The number of players in
division sections in this round depends
upon the ties, ETC., preceding, and may
range anywhere from two to a dozen
or more If five or more qualify, then
one game each will be played, and ties
in the score must be played off. If
fewer than five players qualify for the
semi finals IN any DIVISION, then TWO OF
more games each may be assigned
them. The winner of a division section
becomes champion of his division, and
holds the title, subject to the rules of
the assc citation, until his successor be
declared in an open tournament held
for the purpose. The champions of d.
visions, so determined, will receive the
association silver medals.
In the finals the eight champions of
divisions will compete for highest hon.
ors One game with every other play
ed will be assigned to each competitor,
and the player with the best score Will
be declared the winner of the tourna-
ment. A tie for first place in the fnal
result must be Played off in match, or
series of matches, between the players
engaged in the tie.
The winner OF this, the twelfth an
nual tournament open to all Corners,
will be champion of the association for
1908 and will so stand in the records of
the association. In addition, the cham
pion will receive the association gold
medal. properly engraved, souvenir OF

TENNIS NOT PART
OF YMPIC GAMES
ASSOCIATION WILL NOT ENTER
IN FORMAL MANNER
Individual Players May Compete for
Davis Cup In London but VIII
Not Act as Repre-
sentatlves

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-International
lawn tennis plans formed part of the
informal discussions of the executive
committee at its meeting at the Wal
dorf- Astoria. That there would be an
American challenge for the Dwight F.
Davis cup was indicated yesterday by
one of the committee. The United
States National Lawn Tennis associa-
ton, however. will have nothing what
ever to do with the English Olympic
championships.
In speaking of this matter, Robert
D. Wrenn, vice president of the ma
tional association, is reported as stat
ing that the national governing body
will take no part in an effort to send
team to the Olympics, but that any
American player who chooses may
make an individual entry if he wishes.
That the national association is to
ignore the Olympics was to be ex-
pected, according to committeeman,
when international cup matches were
likely to be decided upon the home
courts. The invasion of the Dohertys.
on their way to play the Australasians.
is practically assured. Two German
players, as a team, may accompany
them, and the program proposed points
to the deciding of the preliminary tie
matches in this country, with the win
ming nation to go on to Australia for
the final challenge matches. AS the
matter stands, the plans must be rati-
fed at the annual meeting of the as
ISOLATION this month.
The effort will also be made at this
meeting to settle upon some definite
plan of action in regard to the Sheaf
international cup for women, offered
from Boston last season, for which q
team of English women, led by Mrs.
George w. Hilyard, is to invade the
American courts some time in the
month of August. The reason for this
date. it is said. is because 1t is the
height of the playing season here, and
is after the main features of the lawn
tennis nrnPram on the English courts.
