VALE DEFEATS
 NEW YORK SWIMMERS
Meet Marked by Indifferent Perform ances-Blue Wins Water Polo Game.

The swimmers of Yale defeated City College of New York Saturday night at New York by score of 33 to 20, and won also in water polo by a score of 10 to o.
 The meet, held in the pool of City college, was marked by indifferent performances, due chiefly to the crip- pied condition of both teams The home squad lacked the services of Bosworth, the star sprinter, and Lieb- ner, the crack diver, while the visitors numbered among the absentees Cap tain Schlaet, Rosener, Dean and Alex ander, four of the speediest swim mers.
 The opening event. the relay, race,
 proved fizzle. Chiffon, who took the first relay for Yale, lost his bearings,
 ran into the side of the pool and
 crawled out before finishing, thus dis leaving the City College quartet to complete the course alone. No time was taken.
 Ferguson and Mayer. the New Ha- ven candidates. had things all their own way in the 50 yard dash and reached the line neck to neck, six feet ahead of their opponents It appeared to most of the spectators to be Fer
 guson's event. but the judges declared it a dead heat. The time was 2S sec onds.
 Hopkins. of Yale. won the furlong swim as he pleased. in minutes 59 seconds, with Haway, of City. College, i second. and Ferguson scored his sec ond victory in the 1Go yard race beat ing his teammate, Howe by about 8 ] feet, in the slow time of 1 minute 6 1 seconds.
 The diving was rather a poor exhi- bition. All the contestants missed
 some of their dives. Benjamin, of
 Yale, took first with S3.3 points 1 Jones, of City College, carried the honors in the plunge for distance He ! covered 6S feet inches, as against 6S feet by Brfsht and 65 feet by Loeb, 1 the Blues representatives. The water polo game was disap- pointing. The c. c. N. Y. men play
 ed entirely on the defensive and the
 Yale forwards seemed to lack aggres- | siyeness. Several times, when they
 had an opportunity to try for a score, the ball wss passed into the backfeid and no attack occurred. The first half ended without tally. | In the second half the action was a little more lively. and Steiner, the Yale
 centre, managed twice to pierce the l opposing line, touching the only two goals made.
 | There will have to be some tall hustling at New Haven if the Blue is | to figure in the race for the intercol- | legiate pennant.

SATURDAYS MARKET.
Strong and Active Throughout the
 Short Session.

New York. Jan. 8.-A belief that the long existing submarine cotronversy between Washington and Berlin had been virtually settled contributed in great measure to the strength and ac- .tivity of today's short session, albeit some of the advances and much of the high pressure were reduced in the final dealings. In the first half hour yesterdays buying movement was renewed on a liberal scale, the short interest scrambling hastily to cover.
 Leaders of the movement included Mexican Petroleum American Can, American SmeIting. Anaconda Copper, Mercantile Marine preferred and Unit ed States Steel. The latter scored a further advance, efacing more of the mid-week's decline, but was subject to pressure later, closing unchanged at s7 Ia.
 Some of the more prominent special ties were five to eight points over yes terday's minimums. and the railway division was firm but quiet Labor troubles and riots in the middle west emboldened the professional element to further short selling in the final hour, the market closing with an ir regular tone. Total sales amounted to 380, 900 shares.

GREEK RUNNER WINS NATIONAL
 CROSS COUNTRY RUN.
Leads Kolehmainen. the Finn by Fully
 Forty Yards.

Nick Gianakopulos, the stout-hearted Greek runner of the Millrose Athletic association, won the national senior 'cross-country championship run over the Van Cortlandt Park course, New York. Saturday afternoon. leading flames Kolehmainen, the Finn, over the finish line by fully forty yards. A like distance behind Koly anne Rus sell Springsteen, of Yonkers, Y. M. C.. A., the only individual entry.
 Gianakopuios covered the covered hill and dale course of six miles in 32.46 3-5 fast going under the condi- tions. In winning the junior run some weeks ago Gaston Strobino set up a mark Of 32:27 but the route was slight ly altered Saturday, the water jump remained about the same. Strobino, who represents the New York Athletic cful. is ill. ana did not start Saturday, nor did any of his team members. The Irish Anaerieaft A. c. and the Mills rose i. A. being the only clubs to toe the line.
 The team championship and trophy went to Lawson Robertson's athletes from the Winged Fist organization, with a total of 25 points. The Millrose ranners finished in second place with a, total of 30 reints.
 In winning the senior title Gianko- pulos achieved the greatest desire of his athletic career. and in leading the great Kolehmainen over the line Nick felt that victory was doubly sweet. The Greek has come along slowly, but con- sistcntly. and when he captured the national Junior title over the same course last year it was generally be- lieved he had reached the limits of his achievements. But Nick refused to stop there, and laid his plans to win the senior run. and show his heels to Kelehmainen in doing so. Saturday witnessed the triumph for which he had worked so long,
 Fifteen men faced William H. Rob- ertson. the starter, shortly after 8 o'clock, seven men from each club and Springsteen, the lone individual entry. A chilling wind swept across the broad level of the parade ground at the start ing line, and many of the runners wore heavy sweaters. Gianakopulos was bare headed, but Kolehmainen wore a rark, poft cap over his blond hair.
 At the start the two fayorites stayed well back, content to let the others make the running in the early stages Down under the railroad bridge be- tween the two Van Cortlandt lakes the runners trai1ed, while the thousands on the ice turned to watch the hardy athletes. Up the step hill of the golf course the men struggled, keep ing well together, their strength not yet taxed by the rigors of the run.

 After a long discussion the league voted to shorten the time of halves to thirty-five minutes.

The league officials made careful study of the effects of the game on the play CTS in the past season and came to the conclusion that shorter game would be more beneficial to the players and would not produce a change in the relative standing of the teams at the end of the season.
 It was decided that the Harvard Princeton game which was left un- played at the end of the season should not count for or against either team. Princeton defeated Harvard early in the season and then discovered that three players were ineligible. The Ti- ger authorities immediately rescinded

 BOSTON BRAVES.
Crimson Football Coach and Boston Bankers Pay About Half Million for Ball Club.

Percy D. Haue1ton, the noted Har- ward football coach, Saturday became president and part owner of the Bos- ton National League Baseball club. As- sociated with him as head of a syn dicate of Boston men is Arthur c. Wise, member of Millet. Roe & Hagen, a Boston banking firm. The new pres ident, announced he would retain the services of George T. Sta1lings as manager of the club and that Stallings playing end of the organization. Wal ter E. Hapgood will continue as busi- uess manager.
 The announcement of the sale of. the club which two years ago won the worlds championship after sensa- tional season, was a surprise. Unof- 6ciaily the price paid is said to be close to half million dollars. The club was bought three years ago by James E. Gaffney and Robert F. Davis of New York for $17s.00O. The new Braves field at which the last cluded in the sale. A lease, the same length as that held by Gaffney was given the new owners. It will be for thirty-f1ve years. MT. Gaffney said of the sale:
 "The Braves have not been in the market and I had no intention of selling a club with which fully ex- pectedf to win the National League pennant again in 1916 until few days ago when the initial overtures were made. But when | discovered that could secure price upon the stock that would net me a substantial profit I could not, as a buisiness men, turn down the proposition"
 The new president also issued a statement in which he announces that he will devote his time to the club and its interests in the future." The state ment continues:
 q have always been keenly inter ested in professional baseball myself, and welcome the opportunity offered rof becoming financially and actively Identified with the older major league. It will be the policy of the older own CTS as it was of President Gaffney to strengthen the Braves wherever and whenever possible to the end that the Braves may again participate in the Worlds Series of 1916."
 It has been known for several sea- sons that Boston capital, represented by Millett, Roe & Hagen, has been in the market for one of the Boston ball clubs. The work of financing the building of the Braves field was handled, by Millett. Roe & Hagen un. der Mir. Wise's direction.
 Haughton's duties as president of the Braves will not interfere with his work as football coach at Harvard. Manager Norman Burbide Of the Har- yard eleven made this statement Sat- urday afternoon. He said that the football management had not yet made arrangements with Haughton to re- turn, but that he understood the coach's entry into baseball would not prevent his coaching should he care to continue at Harvard. MT. Haughton was mum on the subject when ques- |tioned Saturday afternoon As the Braves team had a business manager great deal of the work which would
