QUAKER TEAM
WINS SOCCER
MATCH, 3 TO /
Intercity Contest at Bay
Ridge Marked by Hard
Playing. X
MELLOR is STAR
FOR THE VISITORS
Local Eleven Handicapped by
High Wind and Injury to
Strong Player.

Superior team work won for Phila-
delphia in the annual team match be-
tween representative intercity teams of
the Field Club Soccer League of New
York and New Jersey and the Associat-
ed Cricket Clubs of Philadelphia, con-
tested on the grounds Of the Crescent
Athletic Club in Bay Ridge yesterday
afternoon. The visitors obtained the
verdict by a score of goals TO I.
New York was handicapped in the
second period, when Hall, OF Benson
hurst, retired with a bad knee. The
local team also had to play against a
strong wind, which blew across the
field from off the bay.
Nevertheless. on the merits of the
play in the first half, the Quakers
earned their success. their forwards
playing together as though they be-
ionged TO the same club. When the
Arst half ended, with honors even, the
game was conceded TO Philadelphia.
With ends changed and the wind be
hind the visitors, the latter quickly
took the situation in hand and scored
the first goal four minutes after the re-
start Mellor, Philadelphia inside
right, took a pass from the left wing
and drew Covington out from goal,
booting the ball over his head into New
York's net.
For time thereafter the New York
ers held their opponents in check, but
again Mellor broke away, beat the
backs and scored Philadelphia's second
goal. Two minutes later Bottomley'
the Quaker captain. rushed through
and made it three straight for ms
team.
Five minutes from the end Kaufman
of Staten Island, who was very speedy
on the right wing and had worked hard
for the success of his side. went down
the line with the ball, which he cen,
tired only to regain possession ana
shoot New York's single goal.

BLODGETT FAST
ON SQUASH COURT
Newcomer Defeats COlum-
bia Veteran in Yale Club
Tournament.

Quick work was done in eliminating
the players in the preliminary round
Of the handicap squash tournament Of
the Yale Club, which began yesterday.
Twenty-Five matches were completed in
the elimination round. while two play
ers advanced into the first round.
The handicap committee had appar-
emily underestimate the playing abil-
nv OF p. VI. Blodgett. Of the Yale Club,
who was rated Al plus 5 aces and one
hand. Blodgett faced Edward W. Put
nam. OF the Columbia Club. who sub
stituted for r. Catlin. Of the Heights
Casino. and WAS one OF the scratch
njavers from the minus s-aces mark.
Blodgstt won in two straight games,
defeating Putnam handily. Putnam
failed TO gain a single ace over ms

.nhseouent game he managed 70 re-
cover six aces of his handicap.

Peck, Of Pittsburgh. is pronounced by

Of recent years. II would be interest
ing to make a comparison between MIN
and Cool in a real game.
John Barrett. of Washington and
Lee. according to Sol Metzger, Ray Van
Orman. and most everybody else who
has seen him play, is one of the really
great backs of the decade. McGuckn,
of Villanova. also is rated highly, while
the qualifications of Hastings and Will
hanson. of Pittsburgh, are well known.
In all probability. Bergman. of Penn
State; Cam, Of New York University;
Weldon, of Syracuse; Calac, of the
Indians, and Cahall, of Lehigh,
would TT in just as readily in
any well organized backfeld. Then.
too, Meehan, Of Syracuse; Bagley, OF
Washington and Lee, and Miller. Of CO.
lumbia, deserve highest consideration.
The last named turned out TO be. a re-
markable drop kicker, and with another
year of experience may well earn r
place on any all-star first team.
So endeth the building Of two elev-
ems, or, rather, of three, leaving 10

of combining them into an all-Eastern

NO BIG GAMES
FOR COLUMBIA
Unlikely That West Point
or Brown Will Be on
1916 Schedule.

Just what games Columbis's football
schedule will comprise next fall is
known only to the university commit
tee on athletics, and for the time being
the members won't tell, although IN
official statements have negstived the
proposals that Columbia would clash
next fall with either West Point or
Brown or both.
It is understood that the committee
is placing great reliance on the opin-
ion Of Nelson Metcalf, head coach OF
she eleven. and II seems 10 be fore
gone conclusion that much Of the sched-
ule will be Of his choosing. Metcalf re-
allies better than any one else on
Morningside Heights the strength and
failings of the material that he will
have TO work with next fall. and he IA
vors having light schedule for an
other season or two.
Columbia's first aim, in Metcalfs
opinion, should be TO build a solid
foundation and to refuse 20 begin work

has been firmly set. And for this rea-
son he prefers 10 work up 10 big foot

danger Ahead, Don't
Rock the, Boat" Says
Former u. S. Official

New York, May s.-'There's danger
around US. Don't rock the boat was
the keynote Of an address delivered
Friday night by James NJ Beck, former
United States deputy attorney general,
a the fifth annual dinner Of the trust
companies Of the United States and
members of the trust company section
Of the American Bankers association
IF there ever was an occasion in
which silence is golden il is row." he
continued We may be, for all we
know, in a very critical hour for our
government
"A disaster has happened which has
filled all of US with horror and which,
I take it, has filled most Of Us and
maybe all Of US with reasonable appre-
hension.
There is a good deal in what our
president has said about rocking the
boat and il is NOT a good time 10 rock
the boat At the same time those who
are in the boat should refrain from
rocking and 1 suppose may entertain
the justifiable hope that the captain
will not sleep on the bridge; that the
captain will do all he can TO keep ,le
ship on an even keel in the stormy
waters that may be ahead Of her"
Mr. Beck then referred to the recent
note TO Germany in which reference
was made that this country should
be constrained TO hold the imperial
government 10 a strict accountability
for acts Of their naval authorities, and
take any steps that might be necessary
to safeguard American lives and prop
erty."

LUSITANIA CARRIED VAR
MUNITIONS, SAYS GERMANY

New York, May S.--Germany's justi-
fication for sinking the Lusitania is
that the Cunard liner carried NUM-
tions Of War-picric acid. an explosive.
This was stated by Capt Franz Won
Papen, military attache OF the i'm rial
Germany embassy, in an interview in
the New York World.
He said:
1T is deplorable, If true. that so
many lives have been lost 1 an
shocked to hear the news, especially
that American lives have been sacriI
feed.
But it was absolutely crimina. for
the Cunard company TO carry, and for
the British government TO allow the
line 10 carry neutral passengers in a
ship which was transporting explo-
sives and munitions Of war to be used
by Great Britain and her allies
The ships manifest will show that
she carried a large amount Of picric
acid and other explosive materials
They certainly were not intended for
peaceful uses They were TO be used
against Germany and Germany had to
defend herself against them. The best
way was to destroy the ship and such
destruction was amply justified under
the rules Of war

The heavy loss OF life among the

a Toronto newsraDer man, gives evil
dence that there was no panic among
the crew and that the sailors acted
promptly in gettin~ the passengers

Four torpedOes apparently we're
fired at the Lusitania, but only two OF
them found their mark
TOrpedOes Killed Many.
The loss Of life caused by the tor
pedoes themselves and the explosions
they caused, must have been terribly
heavy. The tragic freight Of bodies
taken TO Queenstown bears evidence Of
the havoc wrought. Many Of those
taken ashore were seriously injured
and more than a score died after they
were removed to Cork and Queenstown
hospitals.
