YALE LEADING IN
 RACE FOR COLLEGE
 BASKETBALL TITLE

New Haven, Feb. 19-By virtue of a double victory over Pennsylvania Yale jumped into the front in the In 1 tercollegiate Basketball League race last week and, with clear lead of half game on Princeton, with one game less to play than. the Tigers, has all the advantages of the schedule in it's favor.
 Pennsylvania, champion in 1916, by reason of two defeats in a week, both at the hands of the Blue, is out of the running and is tied with Dartmouth for third place with three games won and three games lost Columbia broke even on it's two games, and it's record now reads two games won and four lost, while Cornell since it's lone vic tory over the Quakers, has failed to win a game and is hopelessly in the cellar with only one victory in seven starts.

PICK YANKEES TO
 FINISH WELL UP
 IN PENNANT RACE

New York, Feb. 19-The Yankees are the unanimous choice of the American league to finish first, sec ond or third in this years pennant race. Not a manager of a team in the junior circuit thinks the clan of 'Bilp Donovan will trail in the sec- ond division next season. Of course, Donovan himself is the only one who picks his team to capture the flag, for the others all believe their own clubs have a chance to win.
 Clarence Rowland, manager of the Chicago Red Sox, was one of the most optimistic club leaders at the recent this city. He declared that next sea- son would find the men of Comiskey stronger than ever before and that if the pitchers could maintain the pace they set toward the latter part of last season, the team would surely win the flag.
 "But. although I think very highly of my own club" sai he, there is another formidable aggregation in the American league and that is Bill Donovans team. The Yankees em- brace some mighty fine ball players and I figure them to be in the run- ming all through the chase.
 Last year the Tanks had a series of misfortunes that would have put any club out of the race. but unless luck is against them this year, they ought not to have such trouble. With the breaks in their favor the Tanks will be one, two, three at the end of the chase. Next to the White SoI I think they are the strongest club in the league" Nt
 Jack Barry, the new chieftain of the Boston Red Sox, expressed a simi- lar belief. Jack has long been an nd- mirer of the Yankees. Last year he picked them to finish second to the Red SoX, but this year he thinks they have as good a chance to win. the pen nant as his own club, and a better one than most of the others. Barry likes Donovan's pitchers particularly. He said:
 'The team that is going to make us all fight is the Tanks. Donovan has a great bunch of ball players, with about the best pitching staff in the league, and 1 expect them to set a fast cace from the start to the finish.
 With P'pp on first, Maisel on sec ond, Peck at short and Baker on third Donovan has an infield that matches that of any other club in the league except that of the Red Sox. believe the Boston infield is slightly stronger, especially on the defence, although with. men like Baker, Pipp and Maisel any infield commands the respect of all rivals. There isn't real weak spot on Donovan's entire team. Give ther1 a little luck and they'll be up with the leaders all the way"

LEG0RE TO MAKE FIRST APPEARANCE
 AS YALE CAPTAIN

New Haven. Feb. 19--Harry Le- pear in new role the coming week He has played on football, baseball and basketball teams and he has play ed tennis, but till the present time he has not appeared as Yale captain. As chief executive of the baseball nine, he has summoned his squad to- gether the coming week and will or- gsnize> the campaign of 1917:
 He has appointed Bill Lauder, the old New York National league third baseman, again head coach, and Der nie Tommers, the former Eli twirler, coach of the box men. Lauder has been here for frequent consultations and will assume direction of the coaching the coming week. Tom mers has been busy with the basket ball squad, with which he will be compelled to give his time partially for the present.
 Yale expects two fine new pitchers from last season's freshman class in Harold Carey of Hartford and Com erford. Both were tiD-top football men, Carey a halfback and Conner ford end rush. Garfield, mainstay of the twirling staff last year, will again be the leading candidate and Under wood substitute last year, will be re- lied upon to take his turn in the box.
 Dudley Nudge and Ed Munson, regular backstops, will again alter nate behind the bat. and the veteran Prescott Bush will be on first base. Ray Shell, who was second base last year, will hold that position, while Captain Johnson, who was shortstop last year, will be moved to third base and Bob Crotty and O1son Kinney. the latter the regular third base last year, will try for inf1eld places. Crotty formerly played at Brown Uni- versity. Ben Thomas. Ethan Shepley, Bob Holden, Goodwin Rhett and Armstrong, all veterans, will try for the three outfeld places.
 Yale has never had so many regu- lars of 8 former season report when the squad reported tho succeeding year, and chances favor one of the most formidable hines Yale has placed on the diamond recently.

(By Wagner.)

Tex Kelly of New York will be Hugh Ross opponent in the star bout of the Bridgeport sporting club show which takes place February 27. This show will be held in the Park theatre as exclusively announced in these col umns last week. Ross and Kelly have signed articles and have already start ed training. Kelly has appeared before several of the big clubs in New York. He is said to be willing cusS.
 It, has already been mentioned that Battling Kunz and Tony Marengo will appear in a bout. Young McAuliffe has also been signed so it looks like an all star card. Billy Hughes, a boxer from San Francisco who has just arrived in ''>n east, came to this city today to talk terms. He may be matched with McAuliffe. Johnny Sharpe and Johnny Bennett will meet in the preliminary.
 Manager Krichell expects Guy Finn will be the Bridgeport clubs cleanup hitter this season. The outfelder who has just been purchased from Louis- vile of the American association is great batter. He was with the Yan- kees several years ago but jumped to the Federals. After the war he was sent to the minors. Kritche1l is nego- tiating for a first baseman and ex- poets to able to announce his name in a few days.
 That football victory last November appears to have given Yale the edge on 1t old rival, Harvard. Although favored to win the hockey contest last Saturday night the Crimson stick wielders fell before the onslaught of the Yale boys. .sf

DILLON IS LIKELY TO MEET DARCY
 AND NOT M'COY

New York, Feb. 19.-The jeers and catcalls that greeted the mention of Al Mccoy as Les Darcy's first oppo- nent when the Australian was intro duced in a New York ring before the Fulton-W Weinert bout will probably de- prive the Brooklyn bruiser of a golden windfau.
 Regardless of what the decision of the New York State Athletic Com- mission will be in the controversy anent McCoys services, which that august body takes up at its session today, it is reported on competent authority that Mccoy will not appear in the Garden ring on March or at any other time if the present man. agers of the amphitheatre can prevent it. They sustained a heavy.~4oss in promoting the Fulton Weinert tilt and don't intend to be caught on the short end again.
 Instead of Mccoy, none other than Jack Dillon will be the first American pugiist to oppose the Maitland war rior. The Garden impressario is nego- tiating with Dillon, who is in favor of the proposition provided he gets enough money. Browne started his bidding with princely sum, but the Hoosier, according to reports. insisted that he go higher. Jack expects to get the biggest purse ever. obtained and Browne is prepared to give it to him.
 If Brown substitutes Jack Dillon for Al Mccoy he will accomplish a ten strike. It is just the bout for which the long suffering boxing 'fans'' have been waiting and unquestionably would attract a record attendance. Dillon is undoubtedly the right man to. test the ability of the antipodean. Both men pursue a similar style of milling and each professes to be a boxer.

Manager Krichell Expects Guy Finn to Be Clean
 Up Hitter for Bridgeport Club.

the first week in March. Handball and other indoor sports have kept Ray in shape during the winter and he will go to Annapolis next week to coach the pitchers of the Navy squad. Billy Lush is head coach at Annapolis and he secured Heating the job. The Toledo players will start training at Dawson Springs, Ky.
 It looks as if the salary limit in the blow during the coming season. With Millionaire Plant ready to take the straps off the bankroll in New London and Millionaire Abrams to handle the cash register in Portland what chance will there be for the old time manager who tries to make his club pay ex- penses and doesn't believe in crowd ing all the money on the players.
 !, The principal criticism directed at Frank Cavanaugh, the retiring foot ball coach at Dartmouth, was that he did not produce good quarterbacks. His teams generally had power but the ability to use the strength to the best advantage was lacking.
 Southpaw Nehf of the Boston Braves evidently hasn't heard that the strike is over. He threatens to quit the game unless he gets the sal- arys he demands. Nevertheless it looks like big sensation for baseball.
 The Chicago sport writers who are to cover the training trip of the Chi cago Cubs are in for a fine trip. They are to be the guests of William WrigleI Jr., the chewing gum mag nate, while in Pasadena, Ca., and each man will have valet and a steno- grapher to take down his stories. To do the thing right Wrigley ought to furnish substitutes to write the stories, too.

YALE WILL MEET
 TIGERS AT HOCKEY

New Haven, Feb. 19.-The blue rib bon event of the intercollegiate hockey reason will be staged in the St. Nich- olas rink in New York, on Wednesday, February 2S, when Princeton clashes with Yale in the deciding game of their series. Team work has been the main factor in success of the Prince ton men so far and they have hopes that it will bring them the college crown.
 The lineup of the Princeton team in that game will be the same as that which defeated Harvard, 2 to 1, and Yale in New Haven, to 8, in game which defeated Harvard here 2 to 1, and is likely the Yale-Princeton game will decide the college title.

Numbers of these hedges have been

MIND CAN'T GRASP
BIG LOAN FIGURES
(Thomas F: Logan, in Leslie's.)

(Thomas F. Logan, in Leslie's)
Americas war loan Of $1,000, 100000
surpasses the powers of the mind
to grasp. Spent at the rate Of 81 a
minute it would take 1888 years to
dispose of the appropriation. Loaned
out at per cent, $13 could be spent
every second for an indefinite period
without touching the principal. Con-
verted in to silver dollars, the coined
pieces laid end to end would reach
more than four times around the
earth at the equator. Piled on top of
one another, these silver dollars
would extend nearly 600 miles in the
air. Made into dollar bills, they

would cover 1856 acres. The inter
est on the loan is greater than the
entire running expenses of the gov
ernment less than half a century ago,
while the amount itself would con-
duct the affairs Of the governments
for fully seven years, on the basis OF
the annual expenditures for the dec
cade. Another and more cheerful way
of looking at the situation is that,
great as the loan is, the wealth OF
the United States is such that 1t
amounts to the lending of 81 out OF
every $40 of our existing tangible re-
sources. A penny a day saved by
every inhabitant would cancel the
principal within twenty years. "a
