YALE FIVE TOO MUCH
FOR c. G. N. Y. TEAM
intercollegiate Champions Dis
plav a Finished Passing Game.

Yale University defeated the College
Of the City Of New York in an interest
ing basketball game on the latters
court last night by score of 80 to Il.
The contest ended the trip Of the Blue
team which won five out OF the SIX
games played. -.
The intercollegiate champions dis
played a finished passing game, whlle
their shots at the baskets were almost
invariably true. The home team did
we'll in the first period, and at inter
mission time were only FIVE points be-
hind, the score being l8 to 8.
For a few minutes in the second
period City College held the New
Haven five even, but 1t was then that
Yale scored baskets from the floor
with little frequency. A total OF
twelve field goals were made by Yale,
with Kinney and Weiner scoring six
and Ave of them, respectively. Kinney,
however, failed TO make the best Of all
his free goal chances from the foul
line, as out Of his thirteen efforts he
was successful only six times.
Tichinsky, the City College left for
ward, made four field goals. Lefko-
WITT, a teammate. was weak In throw
ing baskets from the foul line.

KEEN COMPETITION
AT TOY DOG SHOW
Poquito. a Pom, Finally Wins
Chief Laurels at McAlpin.

In spite Of the fact that It was the
day before Christmas, there was a
goodly gathering Of the members Of
the Toy Dog Club Of New York yes
terday afternoon at the fortnightly
show in the winter garden Of the Nc
Alpin Hotel.
The competition for the best dog in
the show was the liveliest so far this
season, and it necessitated the Offices
of referee to make the final decision.
When Mrs. Harry L. Haas and Mrs.
Henry Hill failed to come TO an agree
ment as TO whether Miss Elsie Blum's
Pomeranian Poquito or Mrs. A. VI. Hun
ters Pekingese Fairfax Chin Toy Of
Arden were the better, Freeman Lloyd
was asked TO adjudicate the matter.
The veteran all-around judge decided
in favor of the Pomeranian. He said
that his decision was reached on the
ground that the Pomeranian excelled In
head and ears. He added that both
were splendidly short in body and in
full coat, and that there was little TO
choose between them.
The Fan-tan Of Esterro Cup, one Of
the most sought for trophies by the
members of the club, was won outright
after a year and half Of competition
by Mrs. A. Mcclure HALEY with her
American bred Cum-Ci of Llenrud. This
prize was offered by Mrs. Gertrude l..
Hayward for the best American bred
Pekingese under eight pounds, owned
and shown by the owner. Three vic
tories were necessary to take the cup
outright.

ERASMUS GUNNERS
MAKE PERFECT SCORE
All Seven Boys Hit Bulrs-Eye
Seven Times for 9TH Victory.

The members of the Erasmus Hall
High School rife team capped their fine
work Of the season yesterday with the
best possible score of $50 in winning a
Whitney trophy sub-target match with
Commercial High School on its own
gun. The latter team did not put in
an appearance, but the rules of the
Public Schools Athletic League stipu-
late that the team on hand must shoot.
With the appointed official on hand, the
seven Erasmus Hall boys went to the
gun and found the bull's-eye on all
sever efforts. II was the seventh
straight victory, without defeat, for
the winners.
It was the first time that the feat
was accomplished since rife practice
began in the high schools, six years
ago. Early in the tourney of this year
Erasmus Hall came within one point Of
equalling its performance Of yesterday,
and incidentally broke the record of
277 made last year. The boys who
earned the honors on the team were
Bromley, the captain; Brayer, Grout.
Morgan. Duncan, Andrews, Leibert and
Gallagher.

OF YALE PLAYERS
Princeton Breaks Even with
Harvard and Takes Second
Place in Tourney.

Columbis won the chess champion
ship for the eleventh time in the his
tory of the intercollegiate fixture. tho
twenty-fourth of which was concluded
at the Murray Hill Hotel yesterday.
The Morningside Heights team defeated
Yale by the score of ~ 10 y. The
Blue and White totalled l0h points out
of a possible -, which, however, was
one point short OF the record total
OF 1906, when Capablanea played on
the team.
Columbia, however, did establish a
new record in taking all four Of the
games from Harvard in Thursdays
match. Yale turned out 20 be the foot
ball for the other teams In the league,
for the New Haven men lost all three
of the matches played by one-sided
scores. H. h. Leede, A. j. Msndell,
+. F. Korkus (captain) and N. ".
Kempf were the members Of the vic
torious Columbia team. With the ex-
ception of the game Captain korkus
lost, after long fight on Wednesday,
and a draw by Leede at the top board
yesterday, the New York men made a
clean sweep.
Princeton resulted in an even break,
U
ond place with 6 points, followed by
/ Harvard with 5a. Yale brought up the
rear with points. The order Of finish
/ previous tournament
/ Columbia has now eleven tourns-
ments to her credit against nine for
Harvard, two for Yale and one for
/ Princeton. In addition. Harvard and
Yale tied in 1909, which tie was left
undecided. The grand total OF points
scored to date give Columbia fsl "a;
Harvard, 1881; Yale, III. and Prince
/ ton, 80. This makes a total of $40
games played in twenty-four years.
At the first table Beede and Quarles
| had q battle royal, in which neither
obtained any advantage, and they drew
after forty-three moves. Mandell sac
rifced a piece for two pawns in
promising combination, which gave him
a winning ending after thirty moves.
The game won BY Korkus was the best
Of the lot. Bartlett, Of Yale. dis
played much ingenuity In winning his
opponents queen, but Korkus received
ample compensation in two rocks.
Later Bartlett's knight was forced out
of play, and Korkus succeeded in cor
nering that piece. This settled the
game.
Kempf and Kunkel were on evou
terms for the greater part OF their
contest. Then Kempf lost piece for
two pawns. He overcame this handi-
cap, however, and won after sixty
eight moves.
Carter. Of Princeton, was too care
less of his pawns. and by and by Ell
lenberger, Of Harvard, WAS three
ahead. This settled the case, after
! ffty-one moves. Chamberlin made
amends by outplaying Johnson In the
middle game, winning a piece and the
game after sixty-two moves. lie
Fevre, of Harvard, had good posi-
ton in the ending against Starr, but
was fortunate in picking up a clear
piece, winning In sixty moves.

SOME SHOTS OFF
THE FIRST TEE

Strange as II may seem, Boston golf
ers have been able to play right up TO
the present time. Not only have the
links in that vicinity been almost with
out snow, but the temperature has been
such that golf has been enjoyable. AS
one writer comments;
perhaps the weather will continue
its courtesies long enough TO give a
clear day, clear links and moderate
temperature for Christmas, so that the
golfer can try out his new driver, bras
sic, cleek or midiron that he may per-
chance find in his stocking"
At any rate, the suggestion is season
able, IL the weather man happens only
TO be in a propitious mood.
Few people are better qualified to
give advice on the upkeep of golf
courses than A. w. Tillinghast, who
has designed several well known links,
such as that Of the Shawnee Country
Club. He makes a suggestion IS re-
CARDS greens in the winter months, as
follows:
"With the approach Of winter may
/ make this suggestion 70 the green
committees? On many OF our courses
there are one or two greens that are
winter killed. lnVaflhDly THESE greens
are in a sort OF basin or pocket, and
the trouble Is caused By snow collect
ing and. in the process Of thawing, the
inability Of the water 10 drain of. The
remedy is quite simple. Create an
artificial valley or trough so as to drain
the surface. II Is merely question OF
surface drainage. II there Is no place
for the water 10 collect no winter Kill
ing can possibly result"
One Of the most interesting selected
scores IL that Of Jack Bowling after n
season Of play over the links OF the
Scarsdale Golf and Country Club. lie
has best ball, 20 70 speak, OF 47. Par
for the round is IL. Be it said In pass
ing that the links are 6,06l yards long,
but there are holes in the round where
a sterling golfer may save strokes. ~
/ the sixteenth, for instance, Macdonald
Smith In winning the metropolitan open
championship in 1914 registered three
successive throes there, and the par is
four. II does not detract an iota from

A lot has been written about the
growth Of golf in the South during the
last two years. Southern resorts ex-
pect a banner season, and some OF
those who ought TO know declare that
several big hotels have been booked
solid" for months ahead.
T. Edward Bryan, president Of the
Tampa Automobile and Golf Club, is
authority for the statement that eleven
new eighteen-hole courses have been
developed in Florida. and there are no
fewer than seventeen nine-hole circuits
recently completed. Six of the COM
plete links are of 5000 yards or more
in length.
Yet Florida by no means has a mo-
nopoly on the growth Of golf. New
courses have been constructed in Ala
bama. Georgia and in the Carolinas.
Willie Mcguire, who is now located at
Houston, Tex, writes TO friend that
the clubhouse there has been enlarged
70 almost twice its former size, and
the club has spent considerable money
in improving its accommodations both
for members and employees. The course
is in better condition than ever, and
the greens are declared perfect"
Many changes in trapping have been
made at Pinehurst, where the winter
season will get under way in real earn
est as soon as the new year has been
ushered in.

az put one over on Jimmy Johnston
at Boston that he perhaps doesn't know
anything about" said Dan Morgan yes
terday. Lewis went TO Boston to fight
Mike Glover. | knew Lewis's style
pretty well, and when Glover asked me
about him / told him that he was in
formally fast and with a left hand that
simply buzzed through the air.
81 told Mike that any man that tried
to win with Lewis by winging away at
his jaw would wind up in the small end
of the horn. Hit him in the body with
your right, Mike | told him. Don't
stop, no matter what he does TO your
face. He'll be at il, never fear, but
you just take your tongue between your
teeth and go at his body with your
right. Take all that he sends, but
never let up on that body. II Britton
had done it he would have beaten him,
too. Don't forget that now Mike
promised.
For five rounds Glover took lot of
jabbing about the head in order to bring
his right into play. Well, what was
the RESULT In five rounds he had the
Englishman stopped 70 a walk. After
that Lewis ran for his life. II Richie
will do the same he will beat Lewis. He
has a nice right-hand punch, and he
will win sure, if he keeps pegging away
at the Briton's body. He isn't built to
take It,"

Big Water Suit Is
Settled By Stipulation

The big water suit begun about
two years ago by so Lovelock ranch
ers against the Pacific Improvement
Company has been settled in the Dis
trict Court. says the Winnemucca
Star. Judge Quicker ordered that a
decree be entered in accordance with
the stipulation of the respective at
torneys, P. A. Hawkins and Cole l..
HARDWOOD. The decree is in effect an
adjudication of the water rights of
the Lovelock ranchers as against the
Pacific Improvement Company.
This company, which has been in the
hands of receivers for some time, is
the owner of the big irrigation pro-
ject at Metropolis. in Elko County.
Under the decree the company will
be permitted to impound the waters
of Bishop creek, upon which its reser-
voir is located, but cannot hold
back the waters of Burnt and Trout
creeks, which it was preparing to do
when the plaintiffs in this suit OBJ
tanned an injunction abour two years

RICH CINNABAR PROPERTY
Quicksilver Mine In Nye County Now
Big Wealth Producer

With quicksilver ranging in price
from $85 to $95 per flask of rs
pounds, the Nevada Cinnabar Com
pany, operating three and one-half
miles east of lone, Nevada, is pro-
ducing at capacity. The last car
load. containing 80 TASKS, was
shipped from Austin, Nevada, on
May 20, says the Reveille. The car
shipped on April 16 contained 400
TASKS. But 20 men are employed at
the property. In the event that the
metal continues to rise in price,
which is expected in the near future,
since Italy has placed an embargo on
the metal leaving that country, the
Nevada Cinnabar Company may de-
eide to clean up the condensers. in
which event in the neighborhood of
1000 TASKS will be obtained.
Since the time the furnaces be-
came thoroughly charged, which was
about January /, 1915, the produc-
ton has been in the neighborhood of
60 TASKS per week. Experts estimate
that there is enough quicksilver hang
ing on the walls of the condensers at
present to produce between 600 and
1000 TASKS in the event that the COM
pany decides to close down the plant
and clean the walls.
At the beginning of the war in Eu-
rope the metal was quoted at $3.50
per flask of rs pounds. The princi-
pal producing countries are Russia,
Austria. Spain and Italy.
Russia was the first country to
put an embargo on any quicksilver
leaving the country. Austria fol-
lowed shortly afterward and was in
turn followed by Spain. Importa-
ton to the United States continued
to drop off and the price of the
metal rose steadily until it reached
500 per flask. Properties located
in California, Nevada and Texas that
had bedn unable to operate before
the wal was declared began to re-
sumo and the price of the metal fell
off. The supply from Italy in
creased. With the supply from
Italy cut off. producers are predict
ing that the metal will rise to $3.50
per flask. The metal is used mainly
in the manufacture of illuminate for
explosive caps and for various other
forms of explosive.
