Today the Griffmen are playing IN

youthful ability. Today's trial viii go
far toward deciding Boehling's status
with the Griffmen. He has been used
several times, but he has never looked
as good as against the Giants just prior
to the opening Of the American League
campaign. The Richmond rookie look.

That Manager GriffIth IL sadly in need
of a reliable, effective southpaw can
not be gainsaid. To work in with John

Twenty-seventh
Victory for Yale

The Blue Of Yale triumphed its
twenty-seventh victory of the season
yesterday when it blanked Cornelfs
baseball team, getting three tallies. One
Ithacan reached third in the fifth, and
that was the nearest any member Of
Cornelrs team got to the home plate
after batting.
Yale would have run up a larger
score had the hitting been up to form,
but this quality was not as prominent
AZ it has been in former games. Pum-
nelly, Yale's rightfielder, hit to that
field for two bases on two occasions.

Four of the men are from last years

an oar in his hand before this spring.
Crane rowed as a substitute last year.
The crew averages slightly over 16S
pounds and is the lightest in the varsity
race. Since Penn's arrival at Pough-

severe setbacks. and yet last week in its

AUDITORIUM A PRESSING

Since the Rock Island Musical club
has undertaken to bring Melba here
for a concert, the question Of an audi
torium adequate for such an entertain
ment has again been revived. Melba
likely will be presented at the rink,
but that building filed to its capacity,
will accommodate only 5000 persons.
What Is needed here Is an auditorium
with a capacity Of at least 5000. Sew
eral years ago the question Of secur-
ing such building through popular
subscription was preached, but It got
no further. Just now It is being dis
cussed seriously, and there have been
suggestions that the various CONNER.
cial bodies get together and devise
ways and means OF bringing the en-,
terprise to a head. Members OF the
Rock Island Musical club, with their
accustomed public spirit. have come
forward with a promise TO undertake
10 raise several thousand dollars with
an entertainment TO open an auditor
