Paterson.
Sunday, Jan. Z, Danbury at New
York.
The closing days Of the first half
of the Interstate leaguse race finds
Bridgeport and Danbury practically
deadlocked for the leading position,
although Bridgeport at this time holds
possession! of first place by the mar
row margin of one half game.
Bridgeport may receive a fall from
it's lofty perch this week, as two diff
ficult games are on the schedule for
it to play away from home. In Jer-
sey City on Thursday evening, Man
ager Leavy's contenders will meet a
greatly improved combination that is
liable to raise havoc with its cham
pionship aspirations, while in Pater.

OREGON TEAM IS
ONE OF GREATEST
IN ENTIRE COUNTRY

Jim Sonnet of the New York Mail,
commenting on Pennsylvania's defeat
at the hands of Oregon among other
things says:
1.-The University Of Oregon has
proven beyond the semblance of a
doubt that it has one of the greatest
football 1evens in the country. A
clean-cut victory Of 40 over the
University of Pennsylvania out at
Pasadena Monday indicates clearly
the possession of power by the COL
legians of the Northwest on a par
with that possessed by the gridiron
warriors Of Pittsburgh, Colgate and
Yale. y
Pennsylvania was far from the
best team in the East on her seasons
record. Yet on Thanksgiving Day,
when Bob Folwell's men. led by the
brilliant Berry, showed Cornell under
they showed conclusively that they
were but a shade back of the best of
theft rivals and better than the vast
majority
"Of course, it may be said by some
that the long Quincy across the CONT
nent and climatic conditions that they
WClO uHuSCu " really VduQu lSlGO
Penn. Perhaps they did effect the
Eastern eleven a bit. Not enough,
however, to detracc seriously from
the great victory of the Oregonians.
There is football played beyond the
Alleghanies, and beyond the Rockies,
too. Just as good football, and often
better, than we see in the East
Which shows the futility of man
who lives and works in one section
of the country, trying to select the
best players of the United States for
an All-American team.

The five army aviators who COM
peted in the government qualification
test and who reached the government
field at Hampstead, N. Y, after COM
p1eting the return flight from Phila-
delphia, were Lieutenant w. H. Bhick-
ley, who drove 100 horsepower

carrying C. H. Reynolds, a student
instructor as passenger, made the trip
of 115 miles in seventy-two minutes;
Leonard Barney, who made the flight
in seventy Eight cfnutes; Captain J. E.
Burberry, ninety minutes; Lieutenant
]. e. Miller, one hour and twenty-sev-
en- minutes, and Corporal H. Salmon,
whose time was about TINT of Lieu
tenant Miller.
1t was said among the members Of
the aviation school that Brickley's
feat, considering the fact that he car
ried a passenger was probably a rec
ord for the distance. Sergeant e.
Earuss, who flew to Philadelphia with

Lieutenant E. wi Baggnall, attempted
the return flight alone and landed at
Red Bank, N. j. Sergeant D. r.

Yale Players Beat
Buffalo in Basketball

Buffalo, N. Y, Jan. 3.-The Yale
basketball team defeated the Univer-
sity of Buffalo last night, 80 too H.
YaIe's star in the first half was Stra-
della, a former local school football
and basketball star, Charlie Taft did
very good work for the Eli five, the
local forwards being practically help
less against him and scoring only four
field goals in 40 minutes. Kinney

of them from midcourt, and the land
ed nine free throws and missed only
one try.

There is tai of arranging a series

F'ordham Boston college and George
town will participate and Holy Cross
may also enter.
Cornell is to get valuable football
player in Jimmy Gardner Of the Uni

Gardner is a backfield star. At the

Jimmy Clabby, the American box

reward for his long journey. He will
manage the tour Of Miss Fannie Du-

whether Jimmy is more to be pitied
than censured. ..s,. az,t.

EASTERN LEAGUE WISE.

/, By Dropping Lawrence, Mass, from
the circuit the Eastern league mag
mates have finally got down to eight
clubs They still have two cities that
must be dropped, however, if the COM
ing season is to be a success next sea-
son. / Portland and Lynn are too far
away from the rest OF the cities to be
any use.
It is known that Hugh Duffy does
not intend to stay in Portland another
year and Owner Fraser1of Lynn is also
anxious to get out of baseball. There
is a possibility that Lynn might be
transferred to Fitchburg, Mass, and
Portland to Pittsfield. With such
strong club as Portland the Pittsfield
fans would turn out in large numbers.
The magnates made one good move in
arranging fora shorter schedule. BY
May II the weather ought to be warm
and by ending the season September
8 the owners won't have to operate at
a loss as they generally do when the
season extends to the middle Of Sep
TENDER.
Billy Gleason, the Lynn second
baseman drafted by the Pirates, ex-
poets to get a good tryout from Man
ager Callahan and has hopes of stay
ing in the National league.
Gene Mccain has grabbed two
more Cubans for his New London club
next season. One is Gonzalez, an out
fielder, and the other is an infielder
named Rdoes. They have been play
ing in Porto Rico and Mccain claims
they are good.
