 According to Weiss, Owner James T. Collins of the New Haven club, was not opposed to the staging of exhibi- ton games, as reported in several of the newspapers about the circuit Weiss claims that Collins tried to pre- vail upon the Eastern league head that exhibition games would tend to relieve him of some of the financial burden which made itself felt after last years disastrous season, but ta no avail. Weiss refused to state whom his informant was.
 Further developments are expected today which may mean that the game scheduled for next Sunday, between the Boston Nationals and Co1onia1s win be played, despite the edict of ONeiL The Boston Braves, 1t is un- derstood, will make no effort to defy the leagues ruling, but it seems plausible that big fight will be made should Collins insist on having the contest staged The Eastern league is protected by the National associa~

YALE ATHLETICS MAY PROCEED IN
 SPITE OF WAR

New Haven, April 5-That in the 1 event of the present crisis blowing ], over," Yale might return to any
 schedules which may be abandoned in
 case of war, was the int1mation of Prof. Robert N. Corwin of the Yale board of control yesterday, in an in- ferview given to the Courier. Prof. Corwin states that there have been no changes in the plans with regard 7 to crew races, and that there will be noIie except possibly as the result of l the conference which has been called for tomorrow night in New York at the instance of M. J. Pickering, grad naxe manager nf3sAt111etics at Penn.
 At this conference, to which most of the big colleges have been invited to send a representative, the ues- ton of what will be done in the event of war will be discussed Prof Cor win intimated that Yale may or may not send a representative as the policy i of Yale has been settled after con- ferences with Harvard and Princeton representatives,
 Prof. Corwin points significantly to the fact that the schedules of the Army and Navy athletic teams have suffered no change although he says there is an appreciable difference in the Yale situation and at those two places.

ton which gives the Eastern mag mates control over this territory. No club can play semi-pro outfit with out the consent of the Eastern. The penalty for violation of this rule is $500.
 Collins and Weiss have held several conferences during the past winter regarding the playing of exhibition games. It is known that Collins was satisfied to allow the games to be played if Weiss met his terms. Weiss however, had shown no inclination to offer Collins anything but a straight guarantee while the New Haven own CT demanded a guarantee with an op- ton on certain percentage of the gross receipts. It was stated last night that Weiss had conceded this point and that everything was pro- gressing satisfactorily when word came from Hartford announcing O'Nei1's ruling.
 President O'Neil was particularly in- censed a year ago at the attitude of the worlds champions in arranging a game here without consulting him and asking permission when nego- tiations had been completed. At that time O'Nei1 told the Journal Courier that there would be no more big league attractions here.
 New Haven was favored by several splendid attractions last year through the efforts of Weiss and the fans are not in sympathy with O'Neil over bis action. New Haven and Bridgeport were the only cities in the league that staged these attractions.

 Walsh's triple came in the first in- ming. and was quickly turned into a run when Gainer sent n sacrifice fly to Stengel. In their half, Brooklyn took the lead when a base on balls and two errors permitted two runs to trickle over the plate.
