NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, June 29.-Joy
is unrestrained at Yale tonight over to-
days victory of the varsity baseball
nine over it's old time rival, Harvard.
The final score was: Yale, 4; Har-
ward, O..
The event came as the browning fea-

merrymaking for the thousands of Yale
men back for commencement and class
reunions.
For an hour prior to the game hun
dreds of Enthusiastically CARRIED Yale men,
by funny antics on the green field,
brought cheering fron~the spectators.
The Sheffield scientific class of 1906
produced an immense piece of scenery
representing a jungle, and from it
emerged a big elephant. The center
of the field was cleared and then a soli-

the elephant until it fell over. Then
the classes swooped down upon it and
drew the carcass off the field.

racing, and George Rose, hacker of
the Santa Anita race track, that the
thoroughbreds would be running their
races when winter rolls around again.
These statements, of course, should De
taken for what they are worth. but
there are varying opinions as to their
worth. It Is not intimated thatsracing
Is assured, but 1t Is believed in quar-
ters that have until the last two
months been skeptical, that the tracks
will be open.
Despite the f1ippant manner in which
the matter has been treated by scribes
whose knowledge of the situation is
gained from a few overheard CONVEX
sations, there is no question that, while
on the surface all is smooth, there is
an undercurrent of extreme caution
and watchfulness on both sides.
When the limit has been reached in
any movement a reaction sets in. 1t
may be that that limit has not arrived
in the racing game, but IL it has the
consequent reaction may find some of
the scoffers confounded.
Harness racing and running under
the arc lights at night is the latest
innovation in the promoters section of
the sporting world. Following the
lead Of the eastern ball magnates who
have tried and successfully worked out
the problem of playing the national
game by arc lights, race meet is
planned to be held at Bakersfield on
July 4, with the track illuminated by
electricity. Arcs will be placed ITO
feet apart around the half-mile track
and a card of events including run
ming, trotting, motorcycling and foot
races is in process of preparation. The
brilliant lights used in the eastern
games have proved sufficient to light
the field we'll enough to see all plays,
and If the power provided In strong
enough, the Oil City fans will witness
a novel program.
There will be no prize fights or boxing
matches which verge on the edge of
that class of contests In Wisconsin,
says a Badger state writer. The lid
that was clamped down on that sort of
thing last fall will remain on for an
other two years at least.
Governor Davidson has filed with
Chief Clerk Shaffer of the assembly his
veto of the Brew boxing bill.
Those who have had chance to talk
to Governor Davidson on the subject
and those close to the inside say that
the governor holds that 1t would be a
very bad thing for the state to have 1t
go out over the country that Wisconsin
had legallzed prize fighting. The bill
the governor says, is known outside as
the prize fighting bill. While it only
affects boxing, giving those who like
this sport an opportunity to arrange
bouts under certain regulations, the
governor feels that this would not be
understood outside the state, and In
consequence Wisconsin would be given
a bad name
He further. holds that while the Brew
bill throws n few regulations about the
boxing game, that any one who wishes
to hold boxing bouts which are legiti-
mate can do so under the present law,
hence there is no crying need for any
new law on the subject. His first
thought, however, was for the good
name of the state. That IT. is under
stood was the main reason for his veto
of the bill.

ATHLETICS
ANGELS CELEBRATE RETURN BY
WINNING GAME FROM VERNONITES

GEORGE HANCOCK of the Pacific
III Athletic club has received from a
VI European agent of a touring
agency a tentative offer to take Jim
Flynn, the fighting fireman, on a con-
tinental trip, in which four fights are
planned. The publicity man from the
old country has evidently been struck
with the idea that Flynn will prove a
good drawing card over in the easy
markets Of the game in England and
France. Therefore terms were asked
for such tour, in which it is planned
to match Flynn with four of the best
men the foreign ring can produce.
This offer looks good both to Flynn
and to Hancock, though neither will
take up the matter seriously until the
present Ketchel date is finished.
Flynn's style of boring in is one which
will prove a tremendous drawing card
among the foreigners, to whom the
rushing, daring pugilist who waded in
with the object Of receiving a wallop
to land one is at once a stranger and
an attraction. 1t is probable that the
Pueblan could make even the best
fighters OF the mother world take the
losers end, for he proved by his de-
cisive defeat of Boshter Bill Squires
that the clumsy Britons are no match
for him.
Championship remnants won by the
Angels in 1907 and 1908 and American
colors adorned four boxes at the Or
pheum last night and the Angels and
the Hogan boys sat under them, root
ing hard for Mike Donlin, the ex-
Giant and present vaudeville star, who
once played ball here. Mike and
Mabel Hite, his wife, were the honored
ones, it being baseball night, and the
two players came In for a great re-
ception when they started Stealing
Home" during the evening. The affair
was regular baseball night, arranged
in Mikes honor, and many fans and
amateurs were in the audience. Draped
over the box occupied by the Angels
were the two remnants they have won
in the last two seasons, while the Or
pheum honored the Hogan men by
hanging brand new pennant up for
them, which the Vernon players hope
to capture, at one end of the string or
the other. Lots of jokes were passed
out over the footlights to the players
and they seemed to enjoy it as much as
Mike did.
The sporting writers of Los Angeles
will meet Mr.. and Mrs. Donlin in q
dinner arranged for Thursday night of
this week.
A recent report from San Fran
cisco concerning a preliminary vic
tory of the poolroom men over
the forces backing the anti-gambling
law, known as the Walker-Otis bill,
while it seems to be a much garbled
account of its bearing on the race
track situation, has yet set the follow
ers of the game to thinking. These
thoughts have been in a serious strain,
and the trend thereof shows that the
belief Is growing that racing is not to
be abandoned in California without a
strong effort to either nullify the pro-
visions of the law or In some manner
evade 1t.

Notes of the Game

Daley made one or the most sensa-
tional catches of the season, gathering
in Caffyn's fly in the last of the ninth
and bringing the second out. The YER
non right fielder had hit the ball hard,
and it sailed out toward homer ca
reer, but Daley made a leap into the
air and, sticking up his left mitt, pulled
the ball down. 1t was truly spectac-
ular catch.
Franzel Hosp made a beautiful and
speedy assist in the fourth. catching
Stovall at third, by fast covering Of
his position and an accurate throw to
Jud Smith, who received the ball per-
fectly.
Wheeler's failure to toss the ball to
Delmas in the fourth probably prevent
ed a double putout, which would have
sent the Vernons afield and saved the
three runs they obtained thereafter.
Umpire McGreevy arrived from the
north yesterday and assumed control
of the situation. That last expression
is used advisedly, for the fans welcome
McGreevy with delight, largely on ac-
count Of his firmness on the diamond,
which has resulted in cleaner and fast
err play in the games in which he Of
ficiated. More of your kind, Nc
Greevy! We need a firm and fearless
maintenance of discipline.
Jack Doyle and his associates have
done almost everything possible to af-
ford excellent accommodations to the
Vernon patrons. OF course the press
stand might be larger, also the play
ers' bench, but at present we'll pass
that to light on the car service. Yes
terday the service was the worst so
far experienced, which is placing the
matter in the superlative degree.
Crowded cars, running few and far
between, have proved a great draw
back to the drawing power of the YER
non field. Should the company look to
this the suburban grounds undoubted
ly would prove popular.
Delmas secured credit for two as
sists and a putout in the sixth, spoil
ing two mems chances with pretty
throws to first and making a sensa-
tional running backhanded catch of Il
short outfield fly.
Truck Eagan, playing the same posi-
tion-shortstop-for Vernon, came right
back in the next half of the sixth with
fine assists of Daley's and Ross
grounders to him,
Left Fielder Goodwin Of the Angels
was out of the game with an injury he
suffered on the northern trip, and Sto-
vail replaced Kitty Brashear at first
for Hogan, Brash being homesick. Both
will return to the lineup shortly.
