YALE MAY ADOPT
SPORT FOR FRESHMEN

New Haven, Conn. July 12-Yale
has decided to make an effort to re-
sumo freshman athletics this fall. A
discussion to hold football and other
fall sports with Princeton and Har-
ward is under way with these uni
versities. and it is possible that grid
iron schedules will he arranged.
If the list is scheduled. it will be
Cancelled at any time if it is found
that the games interfere with Yale's
military training or with the plans
of the War and Navy Departments
for utilizing the assistance Yale can
give to the nation during the war.
The Yale Athletic Council has Just
held a session and debated the gen.
eral situation. There seemed to be no
prospect of resuming intercollegiate
athletics while the war lasts. but no
opposition was advanced to the effort
to hold freshman sports this fan.
No decision on this point. however.
will be reached till Harvard and
Princeton have been sounded.
Yale will send a representative to
the convention of colleges which has
been called in Washington for Au-
gust >. At this time Yale will state
its position to be that its athletes
have been turned over to the military
authorities of the country to be used
in any way which will assist in
bringing the war to a successful
close.

FALL RACE MEETS
AT NEW YORK TRACKS

Racing has become so popular that
already there is talk of fall meetings
at Aqueduct and Jamaica. At the
conclusion of the Saratoga session
next month Belmont Park will reopen
for twelve days. In former years
the elocal campaign wound up at the
Newmarket of America because
Maryland provided opposition. Havre
de Grace will follow the Belmont Park
meeting i'm September, after which
Laurel will race during the month of
October. But many horseman who
are taking part in the New York
race meetings are eager to remain
here until Laurel begins.
President Shevlin of the Aqueduct
track has received numerous requests
to hold a meeting after Belmont Park
closes and he is inclined to regard
the matter favorably. 1t cannot he
learned whether Jamaica will fall into
line If AqueduCt makes an apTIica-
tiOn for dates in September. but there
is no doubt that many New Workers.
would prefer to patroniZe local racing
rather than visit Maryland. Havre
de Grace could stand conflict. it is
believed, in view Of the fact that
much of its patronage is drawn from
Philadelphia and Baltimore. Besides.
there will he plenty of horses after
racing ends next month in Canada.

ROSEDALE LEAGUE TO
START SECOND Series
Truyton Club and Rosedale A. c.
Given Columbia and Bakers
franchise.

The Rosedale League is ready to
start its second series.
The Printers team and the Maroon
Club. winners OF the series, will do
battle Monday evening at $50 p. m.
Two new clubs were admitted to the
league last night. The General Bak-
ing Company club Joined the ranks of
the Columbia Club in an attempt to
wreck the league as Manager Hutchin-
son last night rendered his resigna-
tion and withdrew his club from the
Circuit.
The Truxton Athletic Club team
under the management of George
Diller was granted the franchise of
the Columbia Club. while Hugh Reed,
took up the franchise of the Bakers
with his Rosedale Club.
The TruXtons and Rosedals will play
their first game on Tuesday. The
Truxtons were admitted to the league
with the understanding that the man
ayers of the clubs already in the
circuit would still recognize them as
pennant winners of the Capital City
League. and they would still be
eligible to play in a post season series
for the District amateur champion
ship.
Johnny Hurd, who has been handling
the games in that circuit during the
past few days, was officially appoint
ed umpire. Each club will turn in its
eligible list of players to the seCre-
tary before the starting of the games
on Monday and this list of players is
subject to change with only the o. X.
of the board of managers.

JESS Willard To
Defend HIS TITLE
Heavyweight King Denies Reports
That He Intends to Quit Rips

Chicago. ILL.,, July 12.-Jess Willard
is not figuring on quitting the ring.
Denying reports Of his retirement. the
heavyweight champion, in a letter to
Chicago friends, said that he would
be ready TO defend his title as soon
as the circus season Is finished in
October.
The champion said he was entirely
through with Jack Curley and Tom
Jones. his former managers. who have
threatened to sue him.
''As long as l was working on a
salary Jones and CurIey got their per-
certage on my earnings" Willard
wrote, 'but the war and bad weather
hurt the show business and / re-
ceived notice that my contract was
to be Cancelled. That would leave me
ont in the cold. so bought the
circus.
las owner OF the show and not an
employe. / could not see where Jones
and Curley should be entitled to any
part of the gross receipts. so / dis
charged them"
Willard confided that he weighed in
the neighborhood Of go pounds, which
is about thirty pounds above his usual
fighting weight, but that with a little
training he would be able TO defend
his honors in a twtnty-round contest.
1T isn't true that / have refused to
box either Carl Morris or Fred Full
ton" Willar1's letter continued. why
should / bar them IL the public wants
me to meet either of them? II is
true that / do not like Morris, but
that doesn't mean that he's barred. q"
The big Kansan has amassed a
fortune since he became champion.
1t is said that he has between 500. 900
and 10000 planted away in Chicago

Today-Cleveland Going Strong.

Cleveland, July 12.-Walter Johnson's
speed did not bother the Injuns this
afternoon. The tribe passed up Wal
ter's curve and waded into his smoke
Clyde Milan misjudged Jack Graneys
hit in the sixth, the ball going for a
triple and paving the way for a
run.
For toporrows game Guy Morton, or
Lambeth will do the twirling for the
redskins. Griff will oppose with
either Gallia or Harper.
One enthusiastic rooter was little
Johnny Kilbane who had just finished
running six miles as part of his train
ing stunts for his scrap with Benny
Leonard. Kilbane rooted until he was
hoarse for the Injuns.
Jim Bagby gave Menoskey a base
hit in the second inning when he
failed to cover first. The hit by Men
os&y was picked up cleanly by
Gulsto but there was nobody home
to receive 1t.
Bobby Roth caught Doc Ayers off
guard when he stole home in the
eighth inning. Ayers evidently had
heard of Bobby's speciality, for he
paid no attention to him and Roth
got away to a beautiful start. The
play was not even close.
This present squirt of Cleveland was
long overdue. 1t was simply bound
to come and may end as quickly as
1t started. Any team which can stick
around fourth place for three months
has in its makeup the stun with
which to uncork a winning streak.
