WORLDS CONGRESS OF
 SPORTS CONVENES TODAY


 A worlds congress of athletic sports will be convened today at Lausanne, Switzerland: under. the auspices of the International Olympic committee, The physiological and psychological aspects of all varieties of competitive athletics will be discussed by highbrowed and tries and in many languages. This full sign, and indicates the passing of the time when athletic pastirnes were considered as unworthy the considera- ton of intellectual men. Tn sports of all sorts, both amateur and profes- sional, the Fowbrow; with the solid ivory dome is relegated to the dis- card.
 It requires brain, as well as brawn, to attain supremacy in any branch of athletics nowadays, and the savants and professors recognize that fact The speedieSt runner Of half a century ago would now be joke, not because of any muscular inferiority or lack Of natural aptitude, but by reason of inn proper training. That the training methods of today are better than those of the past is not a theory-the com parative records prove it. In the old days athletes were put on starvation diet preparatory to their contests To the athlete a learned discussion of such a question as, What part docs atavfsm play in sport and what is its influence?'' may seem theoretical and -fetched but the answer of the sa- wants may show in the records some years hence

CHIEF BENDER OF
 ATHLETICS IS 30

Chief Bender, who has been twirt1ng for the Philadelphia Americans a full decade, was born at Brainord, Minn May B. 1883, and was sent to Carlisle to have his intel1ectuals polished. He played both football and baseball with great eclat, ans was the athletic star of the Indian school until a. disagree ment with the paleface authorities that ruled the school aroused Bender's ire, when he went over to Dickinson College. There he continued to play ball, and was pdtted against Eddie Plank, then the star pitcher of Gettys- burg, Dickinson's rival in athletic af- fairs. Connie Mack heard Of P7ank's prowess, and while looking Eddie over work Thus he killed two birds with adding to the Athletics pitching staff two of the best twirlers of their time.
 The Chief. as the Philadelphia bu- morists promptly dubbed him, is an educated and intellectual gentleman, and his ancestors were real chiefs of the Chippewas. He has the stoicisna of his race, and all attempts to rattle him by Injun cries and war whoops have rniserably failed. Bender is a big man, both in brain and body, and carries his six feet two and 180 pounds of solid meat and muscle with the graceful ease of a born athlete and true son of the ferest- Civilizati tion has not affected his character or stamina, as it so often does with tame and domesticiated Injuns

YALE LEADS FOR
 BASEBALL HONORS
Victory Over Brown Gives Eli Team 11th Consecutive
 Win


 Boston, May 5-The baseball season of 1913 among tie colleges of the East, which passed the preliminary stage with Saturdays game, has been re- markable largely for the showing of the Yale nine.
 In the race for the somewhat myth 1caL title of intercollegiate baseball champion Yale, with eleven consecu- tive victories, is generally conceded to have gained an appreciabIe lead.
 By winning Saturday from Brown, which had not met defeat previously this year, the Blue eliminated for the time being it's most formidable rival for championship honors. Yale has been beaten only by Pennsy1vania, and retrieved this defeat by an overwhelm- ing victory over the same team week ago..
 Except in Yale and Brown the sea- son for the most of the college teams to date has been one of uncertain promise Harvard is still cratic, but son was one of varied successes, mark ed most recently by the 20 victory over Princeton Saturday
 The Tiger team is conceded to be far below the stage of development gener- ally attained at. this season.
 Followers of the Cornell, Dartmouth, Williams. Holy Cross, University of Vermont and Amherst hines have found much in recent games to en- courage high hopes for the approach ing important contests of the sea- son

CREW CAPTAIN QUITS
 AFTER BEING OPPOSED

Madison, Wis, May 5.-The. threat ened resignation of Capt. Jack Mc- Leod and Bruce Taslker of the Var sity crew is the talk of the camp. Piqued because Coach Vail saw fit to replace the veterans of last years Varsity eight by crew of sopho- mores, Mcleod and Taszer have, ac- cording to g. well-founded rumor, de- cided to quit crew work The other four of last years eight threatened to join Capt. Mcleod. . Mcleod was elected Captain unani- mously bye the remannt of the crew, and things settled down to the regular routine until Coach Vail decided to try the experiment. of substituting the en- tire 1915 crew in the Varsity shell. The coach undertook the change merely as an experiment, being forced to the action by the evident inability of the remnant of the Varsity to row together with the substitutes used in place of Samp and Sjoblom.

 Numerous exhibitors, however, were late in arriving and when they did put in their appearance, many of them lfmped perceptibly. This was explain ed as the result of the horseback 'ttaunt'' led, yesterday, through the capftoPs environs by William Emo. president of the riding and hunt club. MT. Emo is a cross country rider of more than local renown.

 More than sixty riders took part in the t'jaunt."

 In spite of the efforts of the Wha1en family. however the Holyoke club went under in 18th innings bout at Newfield yesterday when the Me chanics eased it to them by to 2. It was a hard fought game and the patched up Bridgeport team did well to come across a winner
 Capt McGamwelFs bad knee stfl1 bothers him and rather than have the star first saeker crippled for the sea son, Manager McCann prefers to let him rest now.

NO PLAYER REACHED
 FIRST IN THIS GAME

The first game in the history. Of big league baseball in which no player on a team reached first base was that between the Red Sox and the Phila- delphia Athletics, played nine years ago today. Old sCy Young was-on the mound. for the Sox, and, so perfect went through nine innings without getting man on the initial bag. Over four years passed before the trick was repeated, this time by the late Addie Joss, pitching for Cleveland against the White Sox.s When it is considered that bwenty-seven batters face the pitcher in the course of such a game, and that each batter has a chance, to get to first by any one of nine different ways. such a feat shows forth in its true proportions.

 JOHNNY DUNDEE DRAW

Vague rumors from the Pacific coast suggest that Johnny Ki1bane Is sore physically and figuratively-es- pecialIy flguratively-and that his mental state has reached the point where he might be called peevish, with a capital P. Ordinarily when a featherweight, or any other kind of a weight, retains championship anu weights down his purse until he needs a dray to help him homes he feels we'll. speaking from the viewpoint of a distant observer-he feels good natured, to say the least.

 Witnesses seem to agree that he

KiIbane, staudin g there with hardly mark on his body, expected to be pronounced a victor. "A draw" announced Charley Eyton, the referee. With all the glory of the championship still in his posses sion, with much good legal tender dis tributed about his person, or within reach, KfIbane stood there one of the most disappointed boxers in the coun- try. He wanted to retain his title with a victory, and to hold it aon a draw was rather an empty honor.

 his own record of 80 hours for con tinuous club swinging and at the same time to beat the Australian record of 100 hours by Jack Beanlish and 112 hours by Martin Dobrilla, although Burrows claimed that. these records were not authentic Burrows had held the record for many years until the above named men went after it. He had no trouble beating his own mark of 80 hours, passing it in good condi- ton, and also the 1OO-hour mark, but after that he began to show signs of weakening, and when he had gone 1O9 hours he collapsed and became delir1ous, wanting to fight all his at tendants. He was finally quieted and put to bed where he went into a sound sleep, being utterly exhausted His nervous system was shot to pieces and the question once more arises, ''Is it not more brutal to let a man go to- such extremes than. to permit of even the hardest kind of a boxing match yes even a prize hght?"
 The foreigners seem to have more of a liking for this record business than the Yankees, for there are sev- era1 Australians who. have been after the record for club swinging In s.ddi- ton to Beamish and Dobriiia break ing Burrows mark, Harry Lawson last year set a mark of 113 hours for swinging 8-pound clubs, and he was followed by Dobrf1la again, some claiming 120 hours, for continuous work. It may be clever work in the minds of some people, but at this dis tance it seems that it is terrible or deal to put a man through and he ig liable to be worse broken up afbsr such a feat than he could possibly be after going through the severest kind of fight, London or oueensbury r7lIeq

PHILLIPS AHEAD

That 13 inning game at Newfie1d yesterday gave the batting averages of the Mechanics an awful jolt: At this time of the season four or five times at bat without a hit makes a big difference. in the figures. The only player who got any benefit from yes terday's struggle was Buster Bowman who gathered three hits.
 In spite of failure to get into the hit column yesterday Joe Phillips leads the Mechanics with 1888 and Bowman is second with .313. Blos- som Blum, who is quite a hitter for a pitcher, is going at a .312N clip while Harvey Russell is stepping ealong at 302. The aVerages:

President O'Rourke has appointed a man named Goodwin, first name unknown. as extra man on the East ern- association staff. Goodwin has umpired in the Southern and New State league and is recommended by Urdpires Mason and McPartlin of the regular staff. He started work to- day. He will double up with one of the other officials until May Is, when one of the five will be dropped. Owner Carey of Springfield is very much incensed at Umpire Leary be- cause of the latter's claim that Man ager Corridor of the Ponies used vile language in the game in Hartford last Thursday. He threatens to appeal to the league directors in an effort to have the $1O fine imposed by Presi- dent O'Rourke removed.
 Catcher Eddie Bridges left today to join the Pittsfie1d team, which is play ing in New London. Manager Me Cam turned him over to Jack Teller, who is in bad way for players just now. Bridges was not satisfied here and the management concluded to let him go. He is a good catcher and will be a help to Pittsfteld.
 To make up for tre loss of Bridges, Catcher Vandegrfft has been signed. He reported yesterday and worked out with the Mechanics before the Hol- yoke game. Vandegrift is veteran who has seen service in the Interna- tiona1 league. Last season he was with Binghamton and Elmira in the New York State league. In 93 games he batted -22s and had a fielding aver age of .958.
