 Tn the rush for points one meet roo ord was broken. Stoclty Andrew Kelley of Holy Cross scampered 22O wards n a new mark of 21 3-5 seconds for that distance, and finished looking back. The former mark, 22 seconds had been shared by c. w. Gram of Massa chusetts Institute of Technology and c. A.

 Two records were equalled. G. M Hayes of Williams tied the old 22O- yard mark just before it was broken by Kelley. The standard. 10 seconds fiat, for the 100-yard dash, was at tained by D. w. Coakley of Dart mouth in winning one of the trial heats. Five athletes were already bracketed as joint holders of the rec ord.
 Dartmouth's number of qualified athletes is twenty-four. The Un1ver- sity of Maine, which had been con- sidered a close contender against the Green, has only twelve survivors from the days trial Bowdoin is close behind with eleven men still in com- petition.
 Other colleges which obtained representation in the decisive events of tomorrow are: Brown, g.

It has been said that no man can will not wreck. This may be true. One man acts what looks to be a limit and then another arrives, passes on beyond that limit, only to be surpassed in turn.
 But if any record in baseball is to stand, we should say it would be the record set by Tyrus Raymond Cobb, iL the Georgian is able to lead the American league again this season and make it ten years in a row.
 Cobb's Leading Ambition.
 Cobb so far has led the American league at bat for nine consecutive campaigns. If he finishes first again this season he will have his ten-year reign esta blished.
 To appreciate the magnitude of tlis undertaking, consider the follow ing facts:
 1. Hans Wagner at his best was only able to lead four successive years at bat.
 2. Nap Lajcie, the slugging Frenchman, was only able to estab- fish two unbroken years of leader ship.
 3. Such mighty sluggers as Dele hantv. Anson, Burkett, Heidrick were never able to lead five years in suc- CessiOn.
 4. Cobb, in establishing his su- prenlacy, has been battling in a league which has offered him for ri valry such hitters as Lajoie, Collins, Speaker, Jackson, Baker, Crawford where any off year meant sure re- novel from the top.
 5. Cobb has been batting his way through a league that has known such pitchers as Johnson, Waddell, Jess, Walsh, Donovan, Wood, Leon ard, Bender, Coombs, Plank, and many others.
 He came to league that for ten years has been replete with great pitching and fine batsmen, where the test has been a keen one, and yet for nine years he has led field at Lat that has offered 500 opponents.
 The Tenth Year
 Ccbb is going to try and lead his league every year he plays baseball, but he feels now that if he can put away his tenth consecutive year on top there will be no sting in being displaced He may change his mind later on when he is finally beaten out, that is the way he feels about it just now.
 He wants that 10-year title badly And unless there is a decided change the man to give him battle for the top will be done other than Iris Speaker. Eddie Collins has gotten away to a poor start. Frank Baker hasn't been quite LID to old form and Joe Jackson doesn't quite look

WILLIAMS RETAINS TITLE
Maynard and Redwood victors fin
 New England College Tennis.

Boston, Mass.,' May 2O-The Will Hams college lawn tennis players again came through as New England Intercollegiate champions both in singles and doubles on the Longwood courts yesterday. R. s. Maynard won the singles title, which was expected after yesterdays showing, and later Maynard, with his teammate. "a. Redwood, won the doubles. Mavn- ard, however, had to exert himself ,n order to win the singles title from R. E. Jones of Wesleyan
 The Middletown player got the first set before Maynard started. and although the latter did splendidlv i, the second and third sets, Jones w;s strong enough to take the fourth, and the fifth set, which decided the match. was won by Maynard 9-7, after he had stopped several rallies that seem ed sure to bring the Wesleyan player through.

GIANTS MAINTAIN
 THEIR RAPID PACE
Muggsy Uses Three Pitchers to Se-
 cure Victory Over St. Looey

St. Louis, Mo-, May 20.-Despite the fact that Stroud faltered in the third, Tesreau collapsed in the fifth, and the Cardinals fought like caged lions in three attempts to stage a late rally, the Giants won, to I, and claimed their ninth straight victory yesterday. Robertson picked yesterday to get his home run, and Fletcher elected to break Up the tie in the eighth with a ringing single to left while Robertson was on second.
 McGraw's quick conception of the weakening of a twirler was what won the third game of the series for New York. When Smith and Betzel singled in succession in the third, Muggsy took out Stroud. Tesreau re- lieved the youngster. and pulled his team out of the fire by forcing Bercher to hit into double play and making Hornsby drop a weak roller to third. The score:
 r. h. e. New York ..... O04Oo001O-5 ii St. Louis ...... 10003O000-4 12 0 Batteries-Stroud, Tesreau, Perritt and Rariden; Sal1ce, Williams and Gonzales.

to be the dangerous factor he was two or three years ago when he was Tvs main rival.
 But Speaker has gathered unto himself a new ambition. The stall Wart Texan is not only hitting the EaH beyond his best years, but he is working with greater earneStneSS than he has ever shown before and is taking @ keener interest in his play. So it begins to look as if Cobb and Speaker were to set the pace in the younger league, and as great as the Texan is we doubt very much that he can outpace Cobb, when Ty onGe swings into his stride.
 Who Will Beat It?
 apoch of the game is to produce a man who can beat this mark? Wag- ner and Lajoie were supermen at bat, years, yet neither has been able to equal half this reign in the merry kingdom of swat.
 To beat out 125 major league ball players every year for ten years is sc mething more than a prodigious task It is the one record, if ther is any such, that will never be beaten until even Time itself is too gray and feeble to continue the journey.
 Cobb so far has played in exactly ] ,416 league games, and in that time has pounded out 1,976 base hits, an average of almost 1 1-2 hits to each game of his career.
 Speakers Chance.
 Iris Speaker has started out to give Cobb a battle all the way through the stretch. Speaker bat ted .3S3 in 1912, .366 in 1913. He fell below those heights in 1914 and 1915, but 1915 finds Iris back upon an- ether rampage.
 Just at present he is only 8 shade under 400, and he is hitting the ball with greater confidence than he has ever shown. There seems to be some thing in the atm osphere of Cleveland that produces batting greatness, for the two who came closer to nipping Tv were Lajoie in 1910 and Jackson in 1911, boh batting under CleVe- lands banner.
 There is a chance that Speaker will succeed where Lajoie and Jackson failed, but he will find little time to rest until October, if the gay and festive trick is to be turned. A Near Record. Some days ago in a local tourna- l ment a certain golfer came in very 1 much elated.
 What did you get?" some one asked.
 ] T tied my best mark at 96," he 1 answered cheerfully, "and l would 1 have had an easy 95 if they hadn't i caught me cheating on the seven i teenth green.''

New York, May 2O.-The Yankees and the Detroit Tigers mingled in six teen innings of the most sensatiqnal baseball of the season at the Polo grounds yesterday, and when dark ness put an end to the tilt the score was tied at to ?.

 Boone's catch wc3 gem of the raF- est kind. It happened in the fevertsh eleventh inning. Bush cracked a red hot liner toward third. which was ticketed for two bases if a hit, ever was. Boone just climbed on high al if he was going up a step ladder and speared the rampant ball with his gloved hand Then he tunbled back to mother earth all tied in knot but held on to the ball. Mullen also climbed on high to pull down drive by Oscar Stanage in the tenth chapter: Another dazzler in the fielding, :, line was Lee Magees grab of Stanage's smash in the twelfth inning.
