New Haven, Conn, March 29.-Cap-
tain Roly Vaughn, of the Yale base
ball team, announced tonight the ten
tatiye makeup Of the Yale squad for
the Southern trip during the Easter
vacation, which will begin April 10.
Seventeen men are included in the list.
They are: Munson, Watrous, Gar
field. Walsh. Neville, Bush, Boyle,
Crotty, Armstrong, Early, Holden,
Shelplcy, Thomas, Smell, Johnson. Kin
ncy and Vaughn. The Yale team will
go into training next Monday.
l. now seems likely that only one
game on the Yale schedule will be can
cellcd on account of weather condi-
tons. Most of tho Yale diamond IL

NJ is known. too, that every club IN the

When Tommy Leach was in the
training camp at Marlin he and Nc
Graw held many conferences and the
merits OF every player In camp were
discussed. IL was the general belief
at that time that Thorpe would be
sent TO Rochester, but subsequent de-
velopments would indicate that his
place Of residence will be elsewhere.
To be brusque and plain In the mat

Milton jacobson, the youngster from
the Colonial League, is the man most

likely that Jake will summer by the

Leach is after Herbert Hunter also
but at the preser writing there is
little chance Of HIM getting the boy.
Hunter is one of the most likely re-
cruits who has trained at Marlin in
many a day. He has other qusliiica-
tions besides the mere ability TO play
ball. and there are few more natural
players on the team.

Intercollegiate League basketball cham
pionship from Princeton. The score
was 16 TO Il.
The burly Tiger five from Princeton,
which had been tied with the Red and
Blue for the league lead at the end of
the regularly scheduled season, battled
gamely and grimly for the title.
crowd that packed every available
inch OF Weightman Hall witnessed the
winning Of the first basketball title
that has adorned the Penn scroll since
the great team Of 1909. The crowd
was extremely noisy, as beftted game
so close and for such a title, but un-
fortunately lot of the noise was d.
rected AZ the referee.
In the first twenty minutes only one
foul was called on Princeton and that
as part of a double foul called when
Connolly and Rahill had a mix-up. Nc
Nichol shot every one Of the six fouls
called on Princeton, but instead of foul
shooting keeping Penn in the game il
was Princeton that owed most of IT'S
points TO the penalty throws.

started the little guard, Louie Martin.

himself about midhoor and hurled a

ball did not rise high In the air. but

1t looked odd TO see little Martin

to handle the ball. In fact, he and
McNichol acted a. Penn's pivot men

Martins field goal total ran up 10

Both teams played fine defensive

THE battle between Gunboat Smith
Il and Pulchritudinous Porky Flynn
AZ the Stadium A. {. tomorrow night
will be a sort of consolation bout
between two singularly unfortunate
young men. Smith holds decisions
over both Willard and Moran, yet the
Gunner has been fighting for small
purses all his life. The fact that he
is fairly well off financially is testl-
mony TO the fact that he has done a
great deal OF work in the Queens
berry art.
Porky Flynn is suffering, he says,
from lack OF appreciation. He never
was understood by the fight fans, he
claims. He always was a serious
fighter, yet most of his performances
have been taken humorously. Natu-
rally il is depressing TO an artist Of
Flynn's sensitive temperament TO be
misunderstood He has our sympathy.
In fact, the only person who seemed
TO understand Porky was Sam Lang
ford. He hit him on the jaw and
knocked him out. Whether or not
Gunboat Smith will show the same
delicate understanding tonight re-
mains to be seen.
One debt which the sport world
owes 10 Perky Flynn is that he
spoiled the Fulton Willard match.
From all accounts. Perky was TO have
been knocked out by the Rochester
giant, but instead, the pulchritudinous
one gave the new member of the
Willard Jones-Curley syndicate
nights work and demonstrated the
folly Of WillardFulton bout.

FOR THE SAFETY OF THE
CHURCH

The Bishop OF Newark, in his do
cesar paper, says:
There has always been more dan
ger to the church from within than
without. To save US from controver-
sizes and discord, we need great plans
and great undertakings to use our
energy. to keep us from thinking OF
minor matters. Such objects are
The conversion of the world to the
obedience of Jesus Christ; the crea-
ton of a sense of brotherhood among
nations which shall make this the
last of great wars; the removal OF
unchristian industrial, social ana
political conditions; the development
of our own diocese so that it shall
take possession OF new fields and use
opportunities in a strong way. IT
would be most helpful il we tried to
understand those who differ from us,
and tried to take their point of view.
Most of us fail through narrowness
in judgment and inability TO see any
thing. or do anything. except in our
own way"

George w. Goethals, under whose d.
rectlon the Panama Canal was COM

rotary of War Baker today and

story. Joseph Jefferson, the actor,
who made Rip Van Wrinkle famous,
gave the origin of the term years

drama but little known to the present
generation, written by William Dillon
and called The Broken Sword There
were two characters in it-one, Cap
