YALE INTENDS TO < : BUILD AN ARTIFICIAL
 LAKE FOR 0ARSMEN

:, New Haven. June 2e-Ya1e crew ! auth horities are continuing their search for rowing site but thus far their eff forts have brought no results. The 5 Ellis have in mind the splendid sarti- ficiaf lake at Princeton and there is a possibility for laying a, similar body of water here. The territory out to- ward Yale field is being considered | according to a statement made last | night.
 So far as the terrain is concerned, conditions lend themselves to the widening of West river near Vale e field. There are, however, many drawbacks In the first place, sev- eral bridges would have to be built, and to this .both the county and the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad would object. So far as the } railroad is concerned, the. widening of West river would necessitate the building of a big drawbridge, and this s the road would not wish to do. since the time is approaching when the 3 company, will probably begin to tun- mel some of the important streams be-
 ftween here and Boston. If a stream of suitable depth and { width were built, the government kwould at once declare-it open to navi- kgation, which at least would. insure
 fxvaters crowded with motor boats and other pleasure craft.

LES DARCY WON
 MOST FIGHTS IN
 CAMPAIGN OF 1916

Les Darcy, the sensational Austra- liam, midd1eweight, won more fights in 1915 than any other fighter of prominence in the world. He had 13 bouts and won 12. His only defeat was by Jeff Smith whom he beat twice later.
 Darcys victories included two knockouts over Jimmy Clabby, which gave him a good claim to the middle weight cham pionship.
 Charley White runs second in vic- tories with 10. Nine of them were knockouts. He also boxed seven no- decision bouts and one draw.
 Bat Levinsky had the most fights 28. He won one, lost one, boxed one draw and 25 no-decision b puts.
 The record of Freddy Welsh, light weight champion, is a. joke. He was in 19 bouts and all were no-decision affairs. Freddy refused to risk his title.
 The same goes for Jess Willard. heavyweight champion. He was in the ring once in 1915. That was when he beat Johnson for the title.

SHELBY IN TIE FOR LOWEST
 SCORE IN TOURNEY

Greenwich, June 29-Surprises were plentiful yesterday in the qualifying round of the eighteenth annual Con necticut state golf championships at the Greenwich Country club. -Hamil- ton Kerr, Greenwich, last years title winner, failed to make the honor di- vision and so did Henry J. Topping, runner up last season. There was a tie for gold medal score at 157 be- tween Parker See1ey, Brook1awn, former champion, and Samuel Ora ham of the home club Robert Alp bolt, Brooklawn, another ex-cham- pion was second, two strokes higher.
 The Brooklawn club, Bridgeport, won the team match by three strokes from Hartford, with Greenwich in third place, seven points higher.

MINORS MUST STOP
 OPTIONAL AGREEMENTS
 TO MAKE ANY MONEY
(Worcester Post.)

Minor league club owners will in
 time have to make fight to eliminate
 the optional agreement rule if they
 are going to remain in the game Tor
 what little extra. money they pick up
 in a season from the sale of players
 to the majors As conditions stand to-
 day, the average promising ball player in the small circuits of the country is the property of some major league club. being farmed out under the op- tionaI agreement clause When the season closes these stars in the making return to the majors practically developed and with no ex-
 tra cost to the big league teams In former years the small team club owners used to clean up on the sale of promising material, but nowadays they don't have chance, simply be- cause the big guns in the baseball world gobb1e up everything promising in sight in both college and amateur circles The minor league owner has no chance in fact he is just a dump | ing ground for the faster organiza- tions
 If some arrangement was made whereby all talent sent back to the minors for further seasoning was pur- 1 chased by the minors instead of be- | ing sent with a string attached, the chances of making a little extra change of recovering from a poor
 financial start would, be bright If
 the minors arranged to. have all big leaguers buy these players back at a slight advance, they would stand a
 chance. Surely they are entitled to some consideration They train and
 school the youngsters for practically nothing nowadays This optional
 agreement clause is strictly too one sided and should be patched up some way Every day big league scouts are l picking up promising ball players, | that the minors would be able to get. 1 if it was not for the fact that the majors take advantage of their well 1 filled treasury, and outbid the smaller
 man
 1 With the minors loaded down with
 youngsters working under the op- tional agreement clause, big league
 clubs are not so anxious Certainly
 the lower class leagues get the worst of the deal no matter which way one l looks at it

ROBERTS RETURN TO
 GAME, ALLOWS GIANTS
 TO DEFEAT PHILLIPS

New York. June 29-Some time fAgo Hans Lobert of the Giants was kcarefuIly placed away on the top kshelf, with other rare old baseball krelics. They all said that Hans was 14hrough, and that never more would she flourish in baseball spangles. Yes fterday Lobert was brought down off 1.-the shelf, carefully dusted off, and E%when the score betweeh the Giants land the PhiI1ies was tied at the Polo lGrounds Hans took his bat in hand and poIed out the sacrifice fly which Iscored Merkle with the winning run. ENew York's joy and the Quakers' des- [pondency were measured by to 3.
 ! Next to the gladsome spectacle of ifine old player like Lobert coming in Ito his own again. the happiest thing tabout the game was rhe defeat of All kbertus Demaree, whose principal ob Eject in life for two seasons has been making life miserable for the Giants. EThe former Mobile finger has raised khob with the New Workers this sea- lson, and it was he who wrecked the Itheir winning streak of seventeen straight.
 Rube Schauer started the game, Ebut he uncorked enough untamed tao Etics in the sixth to induce McGraw to keive his job to Pol Perritt. In the Eeighth Pol gave way to Hans Lobert Easa pinch hitter, and he was glad he ldid, for Hans won the clash.

TANKS GET FIRST
 PLACE BY TAKING S.ATHLETICS' SCALP

Philadelphia, June 29-New York took first place in the American league race by winning a weird game from the Athletics, while Chicago. defeated Cleveland. The Yankees were out batted and outfie1ded. but took advan- tage of Pitcher Meyers wildness and Catcher Bill Meyers poor throwing, and finished on the long end of a 6 to 2 score.
 Superior base running was respon- ran wild on Meyer, stealing no less than nine bases. Many of the thefts could have been aYerted with even fair begging by the catcher, but even allowing for that, the Yankees gave | a great exhibition of speedy and heady base running.
 tOn the other hand, the work of } the MaQkmen on the bases was miser- able. Five times they took foo1hardy i chances, and on/ each = occasion the q runner was nailed. The careless base running of the Mackmen allowed Lee Magee to make an unusual record for an outf1elder. In the course of the game Magee had four assists, three of his throws cutting down runners at second and one man at third. Z If the Athletics had used good ! judgme ent- on the bases, they would probably have won easily, as they bat 1ted Ray Keating even harder than the
 total indicates.
 Manager Donovan pulled Heating
 from the mound after the seventh inn ling, substituting Allen Russell, whc
 tput a stop to the hitting just when it Hooked as if the home team would overcome the Yankees large lead.

MORAN AND JACK
 DILLON WILL GET
 INTO, RING TONIGHT

New York, June 29.-Frank Moran Pittsburgh's aspirant for the heavy weight honors, and Jack Dillon of In dianapolis, who knows that the bigger they come the harder they fall, are thoroughly prepared for their ten round tilt under the sky at Washing ton Park, Brooklyn, tonight. If the word of the promoters is to be accept. ed Moran and Dillon will earn $40, 900, which they will receive as their share of the receipts, by entertaining soma 25,000 or more persons, who are ex- pected to pay nearly $150,OOO into the box office for tickets.
 Interest in this bout is unbounded, , for almost every fan knows that Nor an can fight, and tkat Dillon would rather box than eat at times. The fans are coming from, many parts of the country to witness the contest. Many of Dillon's western friends will be here, and one party is coming all the way from Tulsa, Okla, to root for the Indianapolis light heavyweight.
 Messrs. Pollock, Curley, and Mo ington Park Sporting club, have drawn upon their bank accounts for $50,000 in order to get Moran and Dill lon into the ring, but they hope to clear more than the amount of their investment Yesterday they posted with George Considine $35, ,O00 in cash, which with the $5 900 guarantee put up when the bout was arranged will make. the purse. Of this amount Mo ran will receive $2500O and Dillon $15,OOO Moran has the privilege of taking 40 per cent. of the receipts and Dillon 25 per cent.

FAMINE IN TENNIS BALLS
 REPORTED BY PLAYERS

New Haven, June 29-With scarce 1y a month of the active tournament season gone from the lawn tennis cal endar, there is once more the diff culty experienced by the management of the competitive meetings and of players of securing the necessary balls with. which to compete. A visit to one of the most prominent sporting goods stores in this city only a few days ago brought the admission that not a. single lawn tennis ball was hidden away anywhere among their stock, and that they had immediate orders for upwards of a, hundred dozen which they were enthusiastically expecting from the factory. Reports from other stores indicated that the condition was much the same.

CAN TANKS WIN FLAG?

Are the Yankees strong enough to win the American league pennant? Many fans have asked that question since Donovan's New York club be- gan the drive which yesterday land ed the team in first place. In other seasons the Yankees have frequently made a brave showing in the early weeks only to fold up and retire from the chase before July 4. This is the first time in many seasons that July 1 has found the Yankees at the top.
 Home Run Baker and Lee Magee are beginning to bat in their usual form now. Ray Caldwell has display ed signs of pitching the high class ball for which he was noted in past years. Fisher has not yet struck his stride but Cullop, Mogridge and Shaw key have done brilliant work on the mound. It appears to be a question of determination with the Yankees. They have the players. If the idea, is drilled into them that they can cap ture the pennant there is no reason why they cannot breeze home ahead.
 The decision to allow mixed bouts in New York state has not met with the favor of the sporting writers They say the leading men of the col- ored race are opposed to the practice because it often leads to race preju- dice. The only persons who wanted the law changed were promoters who had co1ored boxers for meal tickets.
 Red Murphy is catching good ball for Bridgeport. He helped himself to two hits in the disastrous defeat at Springfield yesterday.
 Ray Heating is unable to stage a protracted winning streak. After his recent good work against Washington it was thought he would have an easy time downing the 1ow1y Athletics. But

REMAINS WANT TO
 PLAY LOCO BOYS JULY 4

Field Manager Murphy of the Rem ington Arms Factory league club is out with the following challenge to the Locomobile team:
 "I understand the LocomObile team has been spreading some talk that we are a bunch of rockies and that we could not beat a good team. If the LocomobiIe team mean business, they can easily be accommodated July 4 at Seaside park.
 we are playing a bunch of ''bushers'' in the Factory league, I would say that the Factory league is faster than ever and I think we would give the Locomobile team the battle of their lives.
 Now, if MT. Stone means business, he can figure on us playing them for a side bet of $1OO on the afternoon or July 4, at No diamond, Seaside park as I have the permit for that date

Comedy Is King
At the Pantages

Comedy is king at the Pantages
theater this week. Welch, Mealy

share of the laughs with an act
that combines acrobatic dancing
and nonsense.
Society Buds" an deliberately
staged musical comedy, is an
other feature. Vincent Erne and
Jack Claire are the featured CO.
medians.
Johnson's Creole band, COM
posed of seven colored men who
are both musicians and come
dams, is another laughing hit of
the bill.
Claudia Coleman is the girl
with the hats and incidentally a
clever comedienne with a novel
act. Karletti is wonderful
slack wire artist. The third cpl
sode of "The Crimson Stain" is
the picture feature.
