Gardner Captain Of Yale Track Team
Baseball and Crew Candi- dates Are Busy for Sea-
 sons Campaign

New Haven, Jan. 23.-Bobby Gard ner, intercollegiate pole vaulting star and ex-world's champion amateur golfer, will lead Yale's track team in its meet this season. He was un- animously chosen at a meeting of the point winners of last seasons team held yesterday afternoon. He sue ceeds Clarence Childs, who resigned to leave college and enter busin ess. The track candidates have been at work three weeks.
 Baseball and crew work began at Yale yesterday for the season. Coach Frank Quinby set the diamond team candidates in motion on the gym nasium floor, finishing their light practise with gymnastics and a run. About twenty-five reported. There are three strong pitchers in Hartwell, of last seasons nine; R. c. Brown, the former Virginia pitcher, and Buster Brown, the former Hotch- kiss star.
 Five eights reported on the varsity crew squad. Coach Jim Rodgers gave them a long run. Tank and machine rowing will begin imm edi- ateIy. There will be about seventy varsity candidates at work before the close of the week.

Inertia of Bodies.

Lay a visiting card on the tip Of the left forefnger and on it place a penny. A quick flick of the card with the right second finger will remove the card without disturbing the coin. Another trick which illustrates the inertia og bodies is to knock away the bottom of a pile of draftsmen without upset ting the pile. This is effected quito easily with the help of a flat ruleE. The remaining draftsmen are removed successively by a number of smar6 blows.
 A more spectacular and apparently risky trick consists Of dra wing a neW8+ paper away from under a glass filled with water. Provided. however. that the table is smooth and the paper be pulled away. smartIy and horizontally there is no danger Of the water being spilled A certain well known conjuraP is able to remove the tabIecloth from under knives. glasses. plates, etc, as laid for a meal without disaFranginE them or doing any damage.

BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP

Hughey Jennings believes that a training trip should be all that the name implies He is seriously con sidering leasing some large building where the team can be housed and es- tablishing a training table such as is run by the various departments of athletics at the larger colleges and un- iversities. Jennings figures that the edibles obtained at hotels are often neither the most nutritious nor whole some, and his plan would include the engaging of al experienced chef and corp of walters. Hughey believes that if a ball players digestive apparatus Is in good working order the man is pretty generally fit physically and mentally to be of service to his club. He also is confident that the players would infinitely prefer taking their ease off the field in a sort of a family liv- ing room to loafing around a hotel lobby.
 Manager O'Day of Cincinnati thinks he has a find in Howard H. Williams, a young semi-pro. pitcher. Williams will go South with the Reds and will receive every chance to make good.
 Many followers of the game expect to see the Phi1lies make a fine show ing this year. Dooin is certainly well fortified with twirling material. He has at present fifteen pitchers. They are Alexander, Moore, Chalmers, ShultZ, Curtis, Seaton. Rasmussen, Kutz. Masters, Hall. Ward, Scanlon,
 
 ter three are sOuthpaws.
 Three newly appointed managers in the American League are being told by critics; they have a chance to beat Connie Mack to the coveted goal in 1912 and the pennant bee is buzzing in the caps of all three. James J. Cal lahan of the White Sox, Harry Davis of the Cleveland Maps and Jake Stahl of the Boston Red Sox. are harboring welI-groomed ideas about floating heir live parks in October, 1912. Still Connie is not worrying unduly.
 Shortstop Barry of the Athletics owns a garage in Meriden Conn. It is safe to say that the Automobiles of the baseball fans in that section are frequently in need of attention.
 The Highlanders undoubtedly have a twirling staff that under proper man, agement should produce results.

Me Connell is the big recruit from Roch- ester, where he won thirty games. tied one and lost eight. Great things are expected of him.

Long Island May
 Get Montreal Club
Report That International League May Switch Canadian Franchise to Thwart Outlaw Organiza- ton

It was learned on very good author ity yesterday that the major and minor leagues would combine to check the promoters of the United States League against New York territory. There is every probability of the In ternational League being represented in Greater New York in 1913, if not, indeed, this year. The scheme is to transfer the Montreal franchise to the major league territory of Long Isl- and.
 Such a scheme would necessitate the consent of both National and Ameri- can leagues, and especially the in- dorsement of the Giants. Highlanders and Dodgers. An International Lea gue club owner said yesterday that the major league clubs would not op- pose the plan, especially If the United States or Columbia league went so far as to try to materialize their plans of a Gotham invasion. The interna tion- al schedule could easily be arranged so that there would be no conflicting dates with the Superbas. Of course, a club on Long Island would in no manner affect the attendance of the Giants or Yankees.
 It was intimated that the chief ob- stacle in the path of the Montreal franchise transfer to Long Island lies in Owner Sam Litchenheim, of the International League constitution such transfer cuold not be made with out the consent of Litchenheim- This gentleman has steadfastly refused to Montreal in the circuit to the great financial embarrassment of his col leagues. The principal objection to Montreal is its isolation from the oth- CT cities of the circuit. A transfer would make more compact assocta-

collections will add materially to our knowledge of geographical distribu- tion
 Among the more important archaeI- ological discoveries made by Profes- sor Bingham are the ruins of a num- Der of Inca or Pre-Inca cities, inclu- ing:
 l. Macchu Pichu. city probably built by the ''megalithic race who pre- ceded the Incas. The ruins are on an almost inaccessible ridge, 1000 feet above the Urubamba river. They are of great beauty and magnificence and include palaces, baths, temples and about 15o houses. Carefully cut blocks of white granite some of them construction of the walls. A map of the city was made by Messrs Tucker and Lanius.
 2. The temple of Yuracrumiu, the center of the Inca religious cult after the fall of Cuzco, containing a carved monolith 1855 feet in circumference. Manco Capac, the last Inca. probably built after his retreat from before Pizarro's conquering army.
 4. Vilcapampa, a purely Inca town jungle of the Rio Pampaconas, but containing characteristic Inca pot tery, and bronze implements.
 5. A number of other primitive two of which were marked by vol canic boulders covered with pie STdpnS cravings or JagOaTS, llamas and dancing men.
 Human bones were found by Profes- sor Bingham, near Cuzco, embedded under 75 feet of gravel, interstrati6ed with the gravel beds and with the bones of several lower animals. They were later excavated by him and Pro- lessor Bowman in the presence of Pro lessor Foote. who photographed the bones in position. Professor Bowman made a detailed study of the surround ing region and concludes in his pre- liminary report that "the gravel beds belong to the Plefstocene series and that the bones were deposited during a period of pronounced a1luViation.' '' He adds: 'It should be remembered that while compelled to refer the gray el beds of this locality to the Pleisto- cene series I have yet to determine their place in that series. When this is done the antiquity of the vertebrate remains may be more safely approx imated than now. A provisional esti- mate would hardly be less than 10000 years; it could not exceed the maxi mum glaciation of the last glacial pe- riod, generally estima ted at 75,000 years" Dr. George F. Eaton, curator of osteology in the Peabody museum to whom the bones have been submit ted for Identification. finds that there are fragments of efeft bones belonging to at least three human individuals, one of whom i've may reasonably sup pose to have been a remarkably thick set and powerful man about , feet inches in height-" Among the other fra gments are four bones Of the guam aco. the ancestor of the llama leg bone of wolf or wolf-iike dog. and bones of a bovine. The specif7c iden, tification of this last species. says pr. Fla ton must rest largely on the geo. Ioeica1 evidence of it's age. hut there is no doubt that it is either the bison. hos Americanus, Or a very closely re- lated species.'' The evidence points to the possibility of the remains being of glacial or interelacia1 time The bores will be deposited in the Peabody museum at Yale.

Bush Ranks Ahead
 Of Shorstop Barry
Detroit InfieIder Had More As SiStS Than Philadelphia
 Athletics Star

New York, Jan 23-Jack Barry is generally considered the best fielding shortstop in the American League and he is the leader, fielding averages alone considered but the Athletic star ranks below Owen Bush, Detroit short stop, when it cannes to covering ter ritory.
 Bush's superiority over Barry is shown in the number of assists each made last season. The infielder who makes the greatest number of assists naturally covers the most territory Bush made almost one more assist per game than Barry.
 The assist record alone counts in determining the ground an infieldeP covers. Putouts show ability only to catch flies and tag runners at second base.
 The fielding average, which shows the percentage of total chances that were c1eanly handled show what a player didn't do as well as what he did. The assists show the work done.
 Barry has been rated the leading shortstop since Frank Chance said, af~ ter the Athletic-Cub worlds series of 1910, that he never saw better short stop. Bush was considered the best fielding shortstop until then Bush's rating natura1y slumped when the Tigers were superseded by the Ath- letics as the leading team in the American League

M'GRAW WANTS PITCHERS
 BOX FIXED DIFFERENTLY

If a suggestion advanced by Man ager John McGraw, of the Giants, is adopted, a narrow guIley. six inches or so in depth, will be dug in front of the pitchers box at all National and American league parks to prevent the slab worker from stepping over the rubber and delivering what, under the rules are illegitimate balls.
 Under the rules pitcher must have one foot on the rubber when delivering the ball. and under present conditions it is almost impossible. because of the dust to determine whether he is com plying with the regulations or over stepping his bounds. iBatters often complain to the umpire that the pitch CT is working in too close to the plate and much time is lost. With a pit in front of the rubber a pitcher could not step in front of it and escape detection.
 McGraW has recommended the change to John NJ. Ward, of the rules committee and action will be taken on it at the joint meeting of the rules committee of the two leagues on Feb -Tuary E.
