THREE YALE TEAMS
 MAY LOSE LEADERS
Football, Swimming and Wrest- ling Captains Tripped by Studies

New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. 3l.-Al- though the probable reinstatement ot IIe Gore. Rhett, Milburne, Easton and Pumpelly, and the appointment Of new football coach hold central in- terest at Yale, the possibility Of the resignations of the team captains because of scholarship technicallties has stirred up another hornets nest on the campus The cases of Cap tain Black of the football eleven, Cap tain Schlact of the swimming team and Captain Mcintyre of the wrest- ling team, are under consideration by tho authorities for scholastic delin- quincies of one kind or another.
 Most of the opposition to the elec- tion of Blad1 at the close of the foot ball season arose from the fact that his eligibility would be doubtful an other Fall for scholastic reasons. Blacks friends insist at the present time that he will easily remove his scholastic disqualifications before the football seasons opens next Fall. He has engaged special tutors, and ex- poets to raise his averages above the required mark. ..-..... #a
 In case of his resignation 1t is practically certain that Charley Shell don will be chosen to the Yale cap- taincy. Sheldon was expected ny many of the undergraduates to be chosen captain, and Blacks election is said to have been by the margin of only two votes.
 The announcement of the formsl engagement of Tad Jones as head coach and Mike Sweeney as squad councillor Is likely to be made to. morrow. It Is unlikely that Captain Black will give then an announces ment of his staff of assistant coachea This will probably follow, however, within a week, and Captain A1eck Wilson of the eleven the past Fall Nate Wheeler, Red" Dunbar, anAi Billy Marting are expected to be num- bered on the list. Marting has con tract as freshman coach for anothet season. Wilson will probably succeed Bud" Talbott as press spokesman sor the football management.

PERRTTT LOSES CLAIM.
For Cardinal HurIcr Wanted Promised Raise After He Signed Fed Contract

Cincinnati, Jan. 30.-The National, Commission has refused the claim of Pitcher Pol Perritt of the Giants for $642 against the St. Louis club. The St. Louis players were promised 20 per cent. additional on their contracts If they finished as good as third in 1914. They finished third, and checks were sent for the proper amounts to all the players, includ- ing Perritt.
 But payment on Perritt's check was stopped by the club, when it was found that he had Jumped to the Federal League. Bill had the nerve to sue for this amount, but the commission ruled him out of court on the ground that he had broken his own contract, and so was not en- titled to the bonus.

INDIAN WANTS GIANT JOB.

New York, Jan. 31.-James Blue jacket, the Indian twirler of the Brookfeds, is anxious to land a job with the Giants this coming season. He met John McGraw the manager of the Giants, few days ago and asked him for a chance to show his worth. McGraw told Jim that he bought him once, before he leaped to the outlaws, and if Auctioneer Sin clair of the Feds does not ask too much for him the Indian will be given a trial. Bluejacket is living in The Bronx and is mending f1ivvers and wagons for his old boss, Walter Ward, in the latters bread factory.

DREW'S COMEBACK PLEASES
CoIorcd Flicr Seems to Have RecoV- cred Form That Made Him a Worlds Champion.

New York, Jan. 31.-The return to colored sprinter is pleasing news for athletic enthusiasts. For some time it was generally believed that the for mer Springfield fier had lost his speed, but his splendid showing Tn the Millrose A. A. games against Loomis, Morse and Stephenson dis pelled this opini 1n. Drew on We'd nesday was apparently the same Drew of the Spring of 1914 when he stood alone in his class, quick as a flash off his mark, and even lasted down the broad lane to the beckoning tape. There was no sign of the lameness which proba bly, prevented the world s record holder for % yards from win ming the Olympic championship in 1912 and handicapped him severely in the championships at San Francisco last year. His legs seemed as sound as ever, and his performance of g. seconds in the seventy-yard special apparently verified appearances.
 Much credit is due the sturdy col Ored runner, who, in order to gain academic and athletic knowledge, has had to forego many of the pleasures of youth. To pay his way through college, Drew worked as a baggage smasher; he worked his way across the country as Pullman porter to at tend the University of Southern Cali fornia, and, in order to prove his su- periority as a sprinter, he worked his way back to participate in the Millrose sports.
 More will be seen of Drew before he returns to California-if he eve does return-and fine performance can be expected every time he start for he is out to win in each race.

WRESTLING TOURNEY CLOSES
Aberg Closes With First Honors Also 8 $5,OOO Winner-MarveI Finished in Fifth Place.

New York Jan. 31.-The feature of the most remarkable wrestling tourn- ament that ever took place in Amer ica, lasting three months and being favored with large and enthusiastic patronage, was the overwhelnFlg su. periority of Alexander Aberg, the giant Esthonian, over all the aspirants for honors at that style of grappling. The competitors included the best for eign wrestlers in the game, yet all were like putty in the clutches of the big champion. Several of those who pltted their strength and skill against that of Aberg were severely injured by the champion in his efforts to pin them to the mat Zbyszko has not yet recovered from the effects of his last tussle with Aberg, and it wes the punishment that the champion in- Hicted on Mort Henderson, the Masked Marvel, that took all the steam out of that grappler and made him a comparatively easy mark for Stecher in the Garden contest.
 As matter of fact zbyszko was the only man in the tournament tha- could give the cham pion any kind of battle ana he was so roughly han died that he was put out of the going There is no doubt that the giant Pole was next in efficiency to the cham pion, though Anton Isra, had he not suffered severe injury early in the tournament, might have made 1t in- teresttng for the Polander.

YALE AND PENN. STILL
 SETTING A FAST PACE
College Basket Tossers are Having Close Fight for Honors-Kenney
 Leads fn Points Scored

New Haven, ,sJan. 31.-Mid-year ex- aminations played havoc with the schedule of the intercollegiate Bas- ketball League last week, though the race frightened again as a result of the trouncing which Yale admi1,is tered to Princeton in the single game played. Inasmuch as there is only one contest on the card for this week, there will be no appreciable changes in the team standing until athletics resume their rightful supremacy over studies.
 The Yale five, by it's brilliant one- point victory over Princeton, dis played the same kind of fighting spirit that won the title last winter. After being outclassed by Yale in the open ing game of the year Yale has won three straight games, and has fought it's way to tie with Pennsylvania at the top of the league.
 Princeton by virtue of it's defeat is in third place. The positions of t1e other teams are changed-Corne1i and Dartmouth being tied with one victory and two defeats apiece, while Colum bia is last with one victory out of four starts.
 Keen interest is shown in the fight for individual scoring honors. Kin ney of Yale went to the front by one point as result of his deadly work from the f'ul line against the Tigers The Yale man has 40 points to his credit-6 from field goals and 34 from fouls McNichol of Pennsylva mia has 39 accruing from 6 field goals, and 27 fouls. The standings follow.

Young and Matty.

One bad year doesn't necessarily mean that Matty has fired his hnal Volley.
 In 1905 Cy Young had been pitch ing 15 years. In 1906 he finally slipped and won only IS games out of some 40 starts. The dope went broadcast that old Cy at last had reached the end of the highway. Sixteen years lay far beyond the average, anyway But in 1907 Cy came back, won 22 games and lost but 15. In 1908 hewon 21 and lost Il and in 1909 he won 19 and dropped IS, pitching fine ball for three seasons after they had decor ated his right arm with crape.

The Art of Chestiness.

A few days ago, some one, in speaking of Bennie Kauff's chest ness or egotism, remarked that ego tism was an asset, as the case of Ty Cobb had proved.
 The chestiness of Cobb and Kauff is by no means the same. ny may be surcharged with confidence or ego tism on the ball field, but once he sheds his harness there is no sign of surplus beanage. He doesn't care to talk about his playing, nor to have others tell him how good he is.
 On Cobb's first trip East last spring he was batting about .440. ''What are you trying to do,' we asked "break up the 1eague?' Cobb's re- ply was chara cteristic: 'Oh, I've been pretty lucky so far. Everything las been breaking my way The pitchers haven't got going yet, or I wouldn't be. anywhere near where I am.''
 Deep down in his heart Cobb may believe that he can hit any pitcher alive. But he doesn't say so He doesn't have to as long as printed records are in vogue.
 We wonder how much prepared ness it would take to prevent the hectic fanatic from seizing his place in the sun at the box scores first official appearance?

YOung's Record Safe.

It is evident enough after last season, however, that Cy Young's great record is safe. Through his career he pitched S19 big league games, winning 50S. Matty is still well shy of ttho GOO game mark, with less than 400 victories. He would need at least 130 more wins, or six good seasons, to slip on by the Paoli marvel. No chance.

Somewhere in Spring."

somewhere in spring. Somewhere in Spring there is
 streak of white A smoking double, hammered into
 right, Where twenty thousand with a well
 come roar Fay frenZed tribute to the Winning
 score; A good old-fashioned blow bereft of
 taint As Cobb or Speaker "hits 'em where
 they ain't."
 of dust Where steel-shod feet cut through
 the sun baked plain: Where now the quick infielder makes
 his thrust And tags his man with swiftness-
 but in vain; And as the umpire yells out "Safe"- there come Old-fa shioned echoes-"Kill the
 thieving bum." Somewhere in Spring there is an old
 time dream Of yellow sunshine and an open sky, A batting rally by a fighting team, A Speaker waiting for a hard hit fly; A thrill that stirs the very soul of As Crawfords s wallop disappears from
 view. Somewhere in Spring there is a
 boding lull Where Jackson poses with the bases
 full, And down the groove the old pill takes it's way To choke the rally or to lose the day; Where life may know, above the rav-

A point that is most interesting, in

clever enough in handling materials
may aspire to owning them. The ma

pend for distinction on originality OF
design and beauty of workmanship. A
silk coat may be the most common
place Of wraps or it may be as chic
