dale champion against the most for
midable representatives of Finland

sity. toes the starting line with Han
mes Kolehmsinen In the annual senior
national 'cross-country championship
run TO be held over the six-mile Van
Cortlandt Park trail next Saturday az
ternoon.
The Eli student sent in his entry as
representing Yale yesterday, while a
few minutes af,erward the application
Of Kolehmain IN, as competing unat-
tached, was also received. Kyronen's
starting was assured.
Overton earned his honors when for
the second successive year he recently
won the intercollegiate championship
event over the West Rock course, in
New Haven, considered by the athletic
coaches then present as the most haz-
ardous trail ever mapped out for a test
Of speed and stamina.
A victory for the Yale student will
mean much TO him and also TO the ath-
ietes Of this country. Since 1913 the
honor of being the champion cross
country "king" in the selection of the
All-American athletic team has fallen
TO Kolehmainen. However. the Finn
will make his first start on Saturday.

Jaw Gould Success in Initial
Play on Squash Tennis Cout

Anxious for more frequent competi-
tion, Jay Gould, the world open and am
ateur court tennis champion, turned his
attention to squash tennis when ne
competed as a member Of the Colum-
bia Club team that easily defeated the
Yale Club in the opening matches Of
the Class A Metropolitan Association
series, played on the Eli courts, by 8
matches to 2
Gould's initial effort at the four
walled court game was a signal sue
cess. His opponent was Stewart II
Johnson, probably the strongest of the
Yale players, but the latter went down
TO defeat by a score of l5-9, l5-6.
The young champion was at his best in
the second set His placement shots
were perfect, while his change of pace
was puzzling. Johnson endeavored
plainly 20 intercept his cross-court
drives, but had more of a success in
making good gets" of the back wall
and dropping number OF kills" over
the tell-tale.
Only one match was really won by

A three-set match featured the play,

the Canadian professional outfits. Shan
mons 23d Regiment Band will furnish
the musical part Of the programme. .,
Nathaniel w. Niles, of Boston, ranked
No. 6 in the national tennis list for
1916, is one of the best amateur hgure
skaters in the country, and is fire.
quenter Of the Kinks upon every posi-
Bile occasion. Niles was on the ice
with Bror Meyer, Mrs. Emmy 3ergfelt
and Ulrich Solchow, the Swedish mar
wells of fancy skating, at the ST. Nicho-
las Rink last week, Learning some
thing" as he expressed it, from Meyer.
Afterward Niles said TO US: That
man Meyer is the greatest fancy skater
in the world to-day. There is nothing
ne cation tdo on skates, and the beauty
Of It is that he accomplishes the most
intricate figures absolutely without the
semblance of effort. 1t is delight to
watch him"
Poor Joe HoltZ
Annette Kellermann, Daughter Of
the Gods" is an almost daily visitor
at the rink, but she is not nearly so
adept on the steel blades as she is in
the water or on the screen. With her
it seems TO be a matter of exercise
alone, and that she surely gets.
Yesterday afternono, while we were
watching the throng on the ice, Miss
Kelermann came out and began
circlng the rink with Joe Holtz, one
of the instructors.
poor Joe will never last; that boys
losing ten pounds day." said one OF
the skating habitues as Holtz came
around on the fiftieth lap. He explained
that Miss Kellermann skated for two
hours and half every afternono, and
that there was no breathing spell al
lowed until she got through. No time
is wasted in cutting fancy figures
there is no waiting for the music to
strike up. Miss Annette skates stead
lily, methodically and at a good pace,
and Joe Holtz must needs keep pace
with her.
At the end Of the grind yesterday the
Daughter of the Gods" smiled encour-
agingly at Holtz, and promised she
would be back this afternoon for an
other lesson. Holtz wore a worried look
as he hobbled off to bench.

CLINTON DEFEATS
SWIMMING TEAM
OF NEW UTRECHT

De Witt Clinton boosted its stock
for swimming honors when it easily
defeated the New Utrecht High School
in aadual match at the Sixtieth Street
public baths yesterday The score was
10 70 26. The Red and Black team had
anticipated a clean sweep of all six
first places, but two surprises were
forthcoming.
Drumm, Of New Utrecht, captured
the 100-yard swim from Schif, the
Clinton star, after nip-snd-tuck fight
all the way Only inches separated the
boys, with Drumm gaining slightly in
taking the final turn. Ramsgate, a
clubmste OF Drumm, was third, and
this proved the only event in which
the Bay Ridge members obtained two
places. Mckee was the other New
Utrecht victor, winning the dive for
form from Pressman, the best of the
Clinton entries.
The ffty-yard race went to Polk, of
Clinton, with little trouble, while
Rosengren. a schoolmate, won the
plunge In the l60-yard relay race
Clinton led at all stages. LANCER and
Lowey, the Clinton entrants, were too
speedy for their opponents in the go
yard swim.

Chicago, Dec. 4.-Hugh Ward. who
with Harry Frazee has purchased the
Boston American baseball team, and

rope some major league baseball as
soon as the war ends.
"My plan is to send a couple of base

here to-day, said. "As TO-. the expense
it will cost less than to send team
from New York to San Francisco.
don't see why the Bostons and some
other team should not go over TO Eu-

REFUSES TO PASS ON
PROTEST OF CLINTON

1t was learned yesterday that the In
tercollegiate rules committee had de-
clined TO pass upon the recent pro
test Of De Witt Clinton against the
victory Of Morris High School in a
football contest played on the Polo
Grounds. Clinton contended that the
interception of the punt out was done
legally, but the referee decided IL was
not. a free kick was allowed to Nor
ris, with the result that the poin;
scored thereby gave it victory.
The high schools games committee
at its last monthly meeting. decided
that II was case of the interpreta-
tion OF the rules, and asked the collie

not make him a contender for the po-
sition.
This honor rests between Overton
and Kyronen by their respective and
decisive victories in the intercollegiate
and senior metropolitan title events.
The race between the three runners
should make history. Overton is con-
tinuing his training over the New
Haven course, with Billy Queal, the Eli
coach. as his guide, and should be IN
his best form. The Van Cortlandt Park
course will not be strange to Overton,
as the college event was held over il
several wears ago. 0verton is expected
to arrive here on Friday and walk over
the course to note the slight changes
made this year.
Sydney Leslie, the former champion
of the Long Island Athletic Club
sprained his ankle while in practice
last week, and his unfortunate injury
probably will mean the non-starting OF
a team. Leslie ran especially well in
finishing third in the senior "mets,
although he was not in his best condi-
ton.
No team will be entered by the Irish
American Athletic Club to defend its
title. With Kolehmainen and Tom
Barden competing unattached and sew
eral others not in good condition, the
Winged Foot cannot muster up a strong
combination.
1t is very likely that the senior ma
tional indoor championship games will
be held in the 22d Regiment Armory
on March II. The matter is expected
TO be completed within few days.
Efforts are being made to have the
New England Association postpone the
contesting of its ten-mile champion
ship run next Saturday in order that
Jmase Henigan and his Dorchester
Club team, which defeated the local
clubs for the junior title last week
may compete in the coming senior run

The world and his wife have taken

those who have watched the greatly
increased number of persons, of all
ages, who crowd every available indoor
rink at this time of the year. The st.
Nicholas Rink skating surface on Sat-
urday afternoon or evening looks like a
nopular ballroom floor, with couples
Waiting, fox-trotting and swaying to
dance music.
II Is practically a case of standing
room only at times, and now comes the
Brooklyn Ice Palace, at Atlantic and
Bedford avenues, with the biggest
spread Of indoor ice in the greater city.
December % is the official date set for
the opening of this place, and at present
a gang of hundred men is at work in
stalling the necessary apparatus.
Large Ice Surface
The huge brick building was formerly
used as a roller skating rink, and when
the craze for the rollers died natural
death it was tuned into riding acad-
envy. The ice surface will measure 200
by IS feet, providing ample room for a
racing track, hockey field and a space
for figure skating, and the rest of the
plant will be in keeping.
Besides the thousands of Brooklyn
ties who will welcome the presence Of
the rink in their borough, and a chance
to exercise their genius or weakness at
the skating game, there will be numer-
Gus hockey games between prominent
teams, including some of the fastest of
