WEATHER UNKIND
TO YANKEES STILL
Keating and Nunamaker
Turn the Tables on
Joe Kelley.
By Telegraph 10 The Tribun. J

Hot Springs, Ark, Feb. 20.-Owlng
TO continued bad weather the Yam
KEGS we're unable to do all of their
daily training stunts here to-day, and
for time were facing the prospect of
three days idleness and the possi-
bility of a setback in form as re-
suit. Joe Kelley took advantage Of
clearing in the skies about noon and
hustled the athletes out for jog over
the hills.
AS they did not work at all yes
terday and will not attempt to do any
training on Sunday, Kelley feared that
his charges might get stiffened up
before he could get them into action
again. But the local weather man mas
assured him that some good weather
may be expected by Monday, when prac-
tice at the ball park will be resumed.
Kelley sent part Of his squad out
for leisurcly jog and personally con-
ducting keating and Nunamaker on a
run up the path that leads to the OBJ
servstion tower on the top of Govern
ment Hill. These are the heavy
weights of the squad, but for all that
they were too much for Kelley. They
ran away from him and left him TO
come putting into the hotel alone. Both
Heating and Nunamaker are making
encouraging strides in getting of the
weight they brought here with them,
and they proved at least that their
wind was good.

COLUMBIA DEFEATS

eight points, was never able to catch
up with the Blue and White.
Columbia had an easy time of it in
the distance swims. which Noilmer ac-
counted for with little trouble. The
only first place captured by the Grim
son was in the 50-yard swim, which
fell TO Wentworth Davidow, Colum-
bias entry, who was second, was out
clsssed, and Wentworth won as he
pleased, in the slow time of y 80
seconds.
Vollmer won the century and fur

His time in the furlong was 2:54 40,
and he finished full dozen yards in
front of Fullerton, OF Harvard. In the
100-yard swim Vollmer toyed with the
Harvard man, and won in 1903 10,
something like four seconds over his
record.
Vollmer pulled the relay race out of
the fire for Columbia. In the early re-
lays the contest was even. Walker, of
Columbia, and Seymour, of Harvard,
were the lead-of men, and Seymour
touched off Jenny 10 a lead that was

and Lee fought out the third relay on
even terms. Vollmer, however, made
short work of Fullerton in the last re-
lay and won by six feet in a splendid
sprint.
Schoolboys from the metropolitan
district and Philadelphia had two spe-
cial events. J. c. Shields captured the
ffty-ysrd schoolboy race for Poly
Prep in 0:2S 20, fifth of second
faster than the time made by Went

distance. He had a mighty tussle with

School, of Philadelphia, who were sec
ond and third, respectively.
Leopold won the century swim in

Win Again.
By Telegraph TO The Tribun, ]

West Point, \. y, Feb. 20.-Plsyins
one Of the fastest and cleanest games
of basketball ever played on the Army
court in years, the cadets defeated
Cornell here to-day by score of 10
TO II.
The Army men led at half time at 3
TO 6 and so close was the game
throughout that the lead changed
hands several times. Oliphant, star
Army forward. who has been promi-
nent in the cadets scoring of late,
was so effectuslly covered to-day that
he had but few chances to try from
scrimmage, but did good work for the
cadets from the foul line. MacTag-
CART got loose while Oliphant was
covered up, and his aim was deadly,
as Cornell found out all too late.
The Army plebes won their four
teenth straight game in the preliminary
contest. beating the freshmen OF Rens-
selaer Polytechnic institute by score
of 2l 10 7.
The score follows:
