Harvard Wins From
Yale in Track Meet

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. May l9.-Har-
ward leads Yale today in the humber of
track meets won in the many years of
competition by virtue of yesterdays
hollow victory in the annual affair.
Yale was defeated by II to S3, being
forced to be content with but three
first places in the meet. The Yale stars
were able to annex all three places in
the pole vault, and took first in the
1OO-yard dash and 12O-yard hurdles.
Boyd, of Harvard, broke the only rec
ord negotiating the two-mile run in
8 minutes and 45 seconds, a new dual
meet record. The other performances
were mediocre, although Moftit's 6 feet 2
inches, in the high jump, and Wagon
er's l2 feet inches in the pole vault,
were worthy of comment

ANOTHER LEAGUE
JOINS AMATEURS
Postal Savings System League Be Made Up of Inter-
Departmental Teams-New Organization to Meet
Next Wednesday Night

, Fans and followers of the amateurs
are wondering how many more leagues
will be started before the season is
much farther on its way. - Hardly a
week goes by but what some new
league springs into life and draws its
quota Of players from a department
store or large Office building.
. The latest and most recent arrival
among the amateur ranks is the Pos
tai Savings System League, to be drawn
from teams made up of employees of the
! banks and audits, postoffice and finance
divisions of the new system. The
schedule, which Is to start June !, will
continue on until August ], two games
a week being played. The league is
said to number many former college
men. and is designed to afford recrea-
tion and amusement for the clerks.
meeting of the new organization is
slated for next week when the officials
are to be elected and a schedule adopt
ed. The league will be a four-club af-
fair. 1t Is expected that the league
will run as an independent circuit, and
that the amateur commission will not
be approached. The league will use
one of the White Lot diamonds as soon
as permit can be obtained.
1t Is not expected that Pitcher Thomp-
sons record of sixteen strike-outs will
remain long. for several OF the ANA
teur hurlers have been approaching the
mark. Ten, twelve, and thirteen men
q game is becoming common. CLANCY,
of Navy Yard, got ten yesterday;
Cation, of Civil Service, got thirteen,
and Bell, of N. B. r. A., got fourteen.

games were one-sided. There were few
errors and the stronger teams hit we'll
and got the jump on the weaker or
ganizations. Park and Regents, in the
Northern Association, and North Caro-
lima and Lincoln, in the Sunday School
Leaguer put Up fair games All others
were walkovers for the strong teams.
For the first time in several DAYS the
leagues expect 10 play the full number
OF games tomorrow. With but one ex-
ception, the Treasury League, all am
atcrr circuits have scheduled games.
The promise of fair weather makes it
possible to register all games tomorrow.
Rain caused postponement for prac-
ticallv all of the circuits last week.
"Wednesday. Thursday, and Friday

Nearly all of the schedules have made

Underground Players
Benches Dangerous For
Perspiring Pitchers

In all modern baseball plants the
players benches are under ground
and made of cement. Many man
ayers have discovered that the
conditions are bad for their play
ers, colds being caught easily by
sitting on the bench. Coming
from the field perspiring, and then
being forced to sit in a damp dug
out for from fifteen to thirty
minutes may prove disastrous to
many pitchers, and all players
are exposed to colds. Efforts are
being made in several cities to
remedy this state of affairs.

were present, and judging by the
yells Of delight which floated out on
the midnight air, they had a howl
ing good time" There was singing,
dancing music, boxing, and refresh
ments. During one of the sparing
bouts the police rushed in and raided
the place, claiming they had been in
formed that a prize fight was being
held. 1t was difficult to restrain
some of the crowd from making use
of the fire escape. The boxers were
members of the Culture Club, and a
strong plea was made to the men for
their support towards the Club. The
musicians were e. B. James, cello;
