APATHY DISCOVERED
 ON CORNELL CAMPUS
undergraduate Organ Says Students Fail to Support Teams As They
 Should.

Ithaca, N. Y, May 23-The Cornell sun yesterday denounced the under graduate body for failure to support Cornel teams this spring. Referring to the defeat of the crew and base pail team Saturday the Sun under the caption The Spell is Broken,' says:
 "Cornell met almost her first ath- letic reverses of the season when her crew and her baseball team lost Sat urday. It is perhaps better that they did lose. The crew started on it's trip cheered supposedly, by a rally of less than two hundred men. The baseball team played before stands conspicuous for the number of vacant seats. Doleful cheering went but small way toward heartening the team when Yale took the lead,
 Has the university any right now to ask it's representative why thev lost why the crew failed to keen LID an almost unbroken precedent for victory over Harvard, why the base ball team lost an important game to Yale in a crucial moment? Cornell's teams have now gone through more than half the season with phenom- enal records They have made these records absolutely without the sup port a university of 5000 men ought to be able to give them. They have fought their games out mainly as in dividual groups, unsupported, un- thought of, by the men to whom they largely bring honor. In the main they have done their work and they have done it we'll. It is now up to the men of the university if they want this work to continue to place themselves in 8 position where they can call upon and expect their teams to win it is up to them to stand behind their teams and give them the backing continued victory must have. Then and only then if the teams fail of success the university may inquire into the cause.
 ''It has been said man does his best work against diversity. Certain lv too much success has weakened the fighting spirit for which this uni versity has been known. the spirit drove a previously failing football team on to Cornell's first champion ship last fall. The university rallied around the football team because it was fighting for som ething tradition would indicate was out of reach. It stood behind the football team man for man. The university this spring has not stood behind it's representa- tives in contests where victory has seemed more easy of achievement; the idea of easy success has weakened the strength, the idea of difficulty brought out. Men do their best work when they see they must truly fight. Can the university see now before it is too late that it must truly fight as one great unit if it really wants the championship still within it's grasp"

MAY OFFER NEW CUP
Trophy for YaIe-Harvard Meet Will Be Offered SOon-B1ue Now
 Leads in Wins Over Crimson.

Although no formal announcement has been made, it is understood that prominent Yale and Harvard alumni who are interested in track athletics will offer for a nine-year competition a new dual cup. Yale won the third cup which has been offered in the annual competition, week ago at Cambridge, by scoring 63 1-3 points to 40 23 for Harvard. It is expected that the new cup will be offered under exactly the same conditions which have been imposed upon com- petitions for the old, that the winner in five annual competitions shall obtain permanent possession of the trophy.
 The scheme of holding dual track meets began at Yale and Harvard in 1891, not officially among the track associations of the two universities, nor even among the university off, cials, but with a little group of lovers of track athletics among the Yale and Harvard alumni. Everett Wan dell and George B. Morrison of Har- ward and Walter Camp and Harry Brooks of Yale were the givers of the first cup. Since that time the cups have been offered by alumni slightly differing from the original group, but never by the universities or two track athletic associations. Till the idea was presented in 1891 by these alumni of Yale and Harvard there had been no dual track competitions.
 Of the 25 Yale-Harvard dual meets 13 have' now been won by Yale, to 12 by Harvard Harvard won the first cup and Yale has taken the other two, now leading by both 2 cup and a meet. Yale has scored 1929 730 points to 1929 23-30 for Harvard. Harvard won the first cup Ey taking five annual meets to Yale's three. In 1900, competition for the second cup began. This was won by Yale, five annual meets to four, and in 1909 the universities began the competition for the third cup, which was won by Yale last week with a record of five victories to three for Harvard,

Standing with reluctant feet where the fans and queries meet there are ct least two fanatic queries you can bank on.
 No matter what other questions may pop from the him ble brain of the fan, these two rule the order of the day:
 1. Is this Cleveland affair just flash, or can FohPs club hang on?
 ?. How do you account for the big reversal the Giants have shown?
 The Cleveland Miracle.
 Most of the rival American League managers we have talked with don't believe that Cleveland will ever win a pennant or finish 1-2-3. But last season we could find no National Leagu manager, except Moran, who thought the Phillies would finish 1-2-3
 We had no idea that Cleveland would ever jump from seventh place last year to first place this May. In the same way we have no idea where Cleveland will finish But if two things happen, we can see no reason why Cleveland shouldn't have as good chance to win as any other club. These two things are as follows:
 1. If the club doesn't bumb into a bad run of luck and lose the services of Speaker Or other stars.
 2. If the usual morale it has shown can stand up under reverses.
 The Early Part Of It.
 Cleveland so far has taken the jump for these reasOns-her club has tried harder and hustled harder than any other club we have seen. And she has gotten the steadiest pitching of the year, backed up by the wond- erful outfield range of Iris Speaker.
 Cleveland has a first class pitching staff in Norton Bagby Coumbe, Coveleskie and Klepfer This staff is good enough, without further injuries, to win a pennant Now, if the h. dians can continue hustling in the face of bad breaks that may come later on they will have about as clean a shot at the top as any other con- tender For the American League race this season is going to be an open proposition. The three SUD- posedly stronger teams, Tigers White Sox and Red SoX, are evidently not as all prevailing and as powerful as they once looked to be. They will be good clubs later on, but not good enough to overshadow the others. Tn an open race of this sort where there are many contenders, the club that gets the big jump has a greater ad- vantage than usual. Cleveland has

INDIANS WANT JOHNSON
Pres. Dunn Says Prohibition Price Will Not Be Offered For Cannon baIl'' HurIer.

Cleveland, Ohio. May 23-The ru- nor was in circulation yesterday and was not denied by President James c. Dunn that the Cleveland Ameri- can league club is in the market for Walter Johnson, pitcher for the Washington club.
 "Of course we would buy John son. said Dunn. However, we wouldn't go stark, raVing mad in the price we would pay. We are will ing to pay big money, but the price must be fair
 The reasons advanced by baseball men here as to conditions that would make Washington willing to consider an offer for Johnson include the fact that Washington fans do not patronlze the club in as large num- bers as in many other big league towns, that Johnson is drawing a very large 'War-time' salary, that the pitcher is at an age when he may de- terlorate and could not be marketed as prof1ably later as now.
 With the Iris Speaker deal fresh Ill their minds, the fans here are agog with excitement over the even remote possibility of Johnson being secured for the Indians.

FIGHT A DRAW.

and the new ZAP Mccoy, fought twenty rounds to a draw at the Arena last evening. The early stages of the mill were featured by some fast work by both battlers. In the sixteenth round Ross sent his adversary to the mat with a blow that caused the specta tors to yell "foul'' and Referee Fitzgerald sent the men to their corners. Mccoy, however, recuper- ated in quick time and continued to the end of the fray. In the semi final Young Laurel won from Sailor German, the referee stopping the fray in the fourth round to save the tar" from being kayoed.

this jump, and by the time Chapman and Klepfer get right again there is enough good stuff here to stay around the top.
 As for the Giants.
 When the Giants started West they booked to many like a sure second division club. But even in defeat they had one feature in their favor sa powerful attack. Those who fol- low baseball closely know what this means. When a ball club isn't bat ting it is pretty sure to lose heart in other departments A ball player esteems his base hits above all other details. When he is hitting even in defeat, it is hard to destroy his pep.
 With the Giants it was merely a question of the pitching. The power vas there on offense-the power and the speed For several weeks the pitching was worse than spotty. But there was always a chance that a staff composed of Tesreau, Anderson, Benton. Perritt Stroud and Mathew son would develop at least four re- liable performers Or at least two good workers and two of average calibre. It was merely a matter of pitching-not of brilliant pitching, tut of good average pitching. And when this part of the Giant machine finally got going the power on at tack did the rest.
 For tine Future.
 Any number of estimable fanatics have desired to know whether or not this Giant rush can last, and whether CT not the Giants have good chance tc beat out Boston, Brooklyn and Philadelphia.
 Once again it is a matter of pitch ing. Given just good average pitch ing there is strength enough to the club to finish 1-2-3-to give either Dodgers or Braves an even battle into the stretch. Tesreau has always been rater a fine pitcher. Benton and Territt have had good years in the past Anderson was rated a star last season. There is a good inside chance now that McGraW will get some first class box work. If he does his club will be a hard one to stop.
 The big Giant test will arrive when the club comes home in June to grapple with the Polo Grounds hoo doc, where but one victory has been r"ng upn all season. But the Giants have too much power to be held in the second division And a club that can start a road trip with percent age under .150 and then fight it's way cut of the depths is not to be taken too lightly.

Browns Beat Yanks.

The Yankees filtered the Polo Grounds with piebald ball playing yesterday and were manhandled by the St. Louis Browns. There was a miscellaneous lot of hitting by both sides, correlative with much second rate pitching, but that of the Browns had clustering and finality, and final ity is something which the Yankees are extensively devoid of as we go to press. Eleven of them were left on the way stations because that final punch never came, and the Jones' Browns won by a score of to 5.
