METROPOLITAN IS
 WON BY STR0MBOL

New York, May 21.-One of two things was apparent at Belmont Park yesterday. Either people were desir- ous of seeing revival of racing or of extending aid to the three war relief funds which benefited by the opening of the racing season. Not since the opening of the track in 1905 has there been such a crowd on the club house lawn, in it's roony verandas, and spa cious dining rooms.
 Every one of the 12 GOO seats in the grand stand was occupied Officers of the club say that there has never been so many paid attendants at a race meeting on the track, and estimates of the crowd varied from GOO to as high as 25, 5,O00, with 10000 as a fair esti- mate.
 Interest of course centered in the running of the Metropolitan, which was as usual the fourth race of the afternoon and in which there were ten starters. The paddock tip for the race was Tartar, but popular fancy was for the Belmont pair, Rock View and Strombon the fayorites in the specu- Iation at to for the stable. The game little mare Flying Fairy had a strong following among the players of form, and with the big Philadelphia contingent. being quoted at 5 to 2, with to against Tartar and to against Sharpshooter. Against the others the 1 speculator could have had about any odds he asked for.

PLAYERS PLAN TO ENFORCE DEMANDS
 AGAINST MAGNATES

New York, May 21-It is said that the Players Fraternity is making plans for the ultimate enforcement of the demands recently turned down by the National Commission. Dave F1ultz is visiting all the big league clubs that come here and the con- ferences are secret. The subject is jealously guarded.
 Yesterday F-ultz visited the Pitts burgh club. and the day before he herded the Reds into a, room for a conference. Joe Wagner was rath- CT peeved at being thrown out when it was found that he had not yet join ed the fraternity.

YALE OARSMEN
 GIVEN PRAISE
 BY HEAD COACH


 New Haven, May 21-Continuing his weekly articles on the progress of the Yale crews, Coach Guy. Nick a1Is, in the current issue of the Alum nj Weekly, has words of praise for the showing of the vafsity crew in last Saturdays race on Lake Carnegie against Cornell and Princeton. ,t%The winning of the race by the Yale crew at Princeton last week. writes Nickalls, will live long in the menl- ories of those old Yale oarsmen who were privileged to witness perhaps one of the most exciting races ever rowea on Lake Carnegie 9
 Referring to the work of the oars men as individuals he writes:
 t'The generalship of Stroke Morse last Saturday was magnificent from start to finish. He knew his crew and made the most of them without killing them. He nursed them for one fand one-half miles and then drove them ahead in splendid style at the one crucial point of the race.''
 Yale graduates will like to know that the last time Yale beat Cornell on the water was on July IT. 1873, 42 years ago.

TANKS SHAY
 ANOTHER LEFT HANDED BOxMAN

St Louis, May 21--BraRch Hickey evidently did not profit much by the lessons of the shrewd managers in the east. Perhaps noting that Cove 1eski beat the Tanks Wednesday, Branch started off the series with 8 1eft-handed pitcher. He gave the Tanks big Carl Weilman as a starter, and at the end of the first inning the Tanks had three runs. Hops War hop did not ask for any more and beat the Browns in the first game of the series by a score of to
 Wei1rnan remained in the box un- til the fourth. when he gave way to a pinch. hitter Perryman, the preacher pitcher. who once refused to report to the Giants, succeeded Weilnan. and Bill James wound up the entertainment. Bill pitched three 1 innings, and the Tanks failed to touch him for single hit
 Warhop permitted eight hits, one more than the Tanks collected off the three Rickey pitchers, but he was very steady in the pinches.
 Wei1man is the eighth left t-hander the Tanks have keeled over this sea- son. Their average against the port side gents is 800, which should be a warning to managers, who are con- tinua11y trying to play for that High Cook, Pipp, Hartze11 left-handed bat ting combination.

PERRITT NOT
 ABLE TO CHECK
 PITTSBURCHERS

New York. May 21.-Fred Clarke and his Pittsburgh Pirates. including old Man Hans Wagner, strutted into this burg early yesterday morning and had little trouble in crush Ing our crippled Giants and winniag g he opening clash by the score of 6 to 2. Not only did CIarke's tribe lambast the Giants. but they sent Our Boys once more tumbling back into the cellar again.
 Polly Perritt. the. tall hurler that McGraw secured from the Cardinals for Bob Bescher, was sent into the box to check the Pirates But Pol had nothing but his glove, and to make matters still worse the Giants gave him miserable support
 Ferdinand Schupp relieved him in the second and. retired from the fray to make way for a pinch hitter in the seventh inning. During the time the young southpaw faced the Pi- rates he allowed them two runs Bill Ritter went in in the eighth.
 The game was 1istlessly played and dragged along after the first inning. T.he Giants could do apparently nothing against the offerings of Babe Adams.

New York, May 21.-1Those on the insfdeA have never yet explained why Benny Kauff was not permitted to play with the Giants.

 McGraw was harshIy criticised by some writers on outside papers for not finding how things stood before ge&t1ng Kauff to leap. That is the joke of the whole thing.

Eddie Collins, Has

1sporting News. )

All good sailors are superstitious and the same thing goes for ball play CTS Managers encourage superstt- tion on the ball park because kind ly little 5inx gives the boys confidence and that is a big thing. Of course. Jinxes not so kindly sometimes raise havoc, but the manager,s job is to keep a big stock Of the right. sort on hand. But while all ball players are given to deep meditation on the sub Jects of hoodoos and such like, one would think that possibly a graduate of Columbia University, like Eddie Collins, would be free from such mental alterations. But not SO.
 Eddie is slave to the dark ages. When he scanpers on to the diamond he reverts to the frame of mind which prompted his New .nglaald an ceetors to duck witches and his more immediate paternal relatives to tie a red string around his neck to avert disease when he was a tender youth Frorn the moment he enters the club house. Collins fairly rad1ates super 8tdtIon. Here are some of the ways in which, the peerless second saclze1 keeps his kindly Tnx happy ano benevo1ent

The Colonial league has decided to throw off it's pretense of being con nected with organized baseball. The Federal minor league yesterday wir= ed Secretary Farrell of the National association that it had decided to withdraw from organized baseball.
