EACH HAS LEAD
Cornell. Penn, Harvard and
Princeton Sport Champions.
Each School Leads in One of
Four Branches.

New York, Jan. 2--The intercol-
legiate athletic year of 1912 was one
of the most remarkable of recent years
in many respects Not only did it
ly every branch of sport, but it saw
an almost equal division of athletic
hOnors in the four major sports, COM
monty referred to as football, baseball.
track athletics and rowing. Harvard
was supreme in football, Princeton in
baseball, Pennsylvania in track ath-
letics and Cornell in rowing. Better
yet, there remained at the end of each
season not q doubt as to which uni
versity was actually supreme. Every
cham piOnship was decisively clear cut
1t is not an easy matter to decide
which college deserves the greatest
portion of the years athletic honors,
but reckoning on the basis of cham
pionships won and their relative
merits, that title can be evenly divid-
ed between Princeton and Pennsyl-
vania. Each institution won a major
and two minor championships In adj
ditiOn to winning the supremacy in
baseball, Princeton likewise finished
first in tennis and hockey, while
Pennsylvania cleaned up in track ath-
leticS. cricket and swimming. Yale
also won three championships, but all
of them were in minor sports, so that
the Ellis hardly deserve to rank with
Princeton and Pennsylvania.
The following table shows at a
glance fourteen of the leading sports
and the colleges which won cham
pionships in them:
Football, Harvard.
Baseball Princeton.
Track. athletics, Pennsylvania
Rowing, Cornell.
Cross country, Harvard.
Soccer, Yale
Cricket, Pennsylvania
Golf, Yale.
Tennis, Princeton.
Wrestling, Cornell.
Hockey, Princeton.
Fencing, West Point.
Gymnastics, Yale.
Basketball, Columbia.
There are number of other sports
fosteTed by the colleges, but some of
them can hardly be called intercol-
legiate- For instance, shooting is now
participated in by only three institu-
lions, Yale, Harvard and Princeton.
Lacrosse, while a popular sport at
some colleges, is not taken up by many
of the larger universities, in addition
to which the two divisions of the old
association do not always meet to set
tie the championship. Chess is fire.
quently referred to as a college sport,
but it does not come under the juris-
diction of any athletic association.

GHOST AFTER PICTURE
Negro Says He VIII Never Decorate
1t Again.

Evanston III, Jan. 2-william
Thompson, aged negro janitor, of the
city police station, made a resolution
last night never again to decorate the
framed portrait of Abraham Lincoln
which hangs in the court room. It is
not because Thompson has lost any of
his love for the emancipation, but he
thinks the building is haunted.
For years he has decorated the pic
ture with silver foil and holly on New
Years day, and each time the decora-
lions have disappeared within a short
time. Yesterday he remained in the
building and although he saw no one
enter, the picture was Invested of its
the same as in former years
within four hours. He declared later
that be believed the place was haunted.

traps. New Workers Say.

New York, Jan. MANY of the
older theaters in New York are in
danger of being closed up by the fire
prevention authorities as the result of
an investigation which has been going
on for the past two weeks One thea
ter on Broadway was suddenly closed
on New Years eve and is still closed
because the required emergency exit
arrangements for the gallery and ball
cony had not been made Five other
theaters are likely to have to do like

The new fire prevention bureau is

TO ORGANIZE
A TEAM
MEETING WILL BE HELD TOMOR-
ROW EVENING FOR PURPOSE
OF STARTING CLUB.

Hamilton, April 19.-(Spccial.)-Lo-
cal baseball enthusiasts are anxious
that there be a good attendance at the
basebaIl meeting called for Monday
evening at the chamber of commerce
building. The movement for a team
in Hamilton this season was started
by Ed Marx, who caught for Hamilton
n season, playing in the outfield,
while Bert Whaling and Jack Mess
mer were doing the backstop work for
Hamnond's men. There are several
players of ability in the city and a
rafting good team could be organized.
Marx would be able to take care of
the work behind the plate. An effort
is being made to interest COthrell, the
big right-handed hurler who was used
by Hammond the first year he
groomed the locals. Joe Gebeau, the
husky pitcher, who did such splendid
work in 1910, might be induced to get
into condition, although Joe has taken
on considerable weight since lie played
regularly. Hood is available for first
base, and if Jimmie Higgins sum
mcrs' at his home here after the uni
versity closes, the shortstop job will
be we'll taken care of. Other avail
able players are Peter Gertz, Harvey
Fullerton and Earl Durnford. 1t is
possible that several of the high school
players might be pressed into service.
