charts which show the fluctuations OF
the individual teams week by week dur

In former years. Part II gives major
league records of importance since the

FRAZEE HAS ANOTHER
PIPE DREAM BUDDING

Boston. Mass. Feb. 4-President Fra
zee. OF the Red Sox, may send his ball
tossers to Honolulu, Hawaii, for spring
training in 1918, but Il seems certain he
will give It another thought when he con-
siders the price OF cable tolls
One-half the success OF a spring train
ing trip is the interest aroused in the
fans by stories from the scribes in the
training camp.
Sending stories at telegraph rates OF 1
cent a word or less is different from send
ing them at cable rates from Hawaii at
3 cents per word. The newspapers will
balk at excessive tolls. and the ball club
will suffer accordingly.
Then again. there is the sea trip, which
does not make big hit with many Of the
diamond stars. II looks like a pleasant
program Of spring training for the ball
tossers. but it has its handicaps. and
they look large enough to date to block
any journey to Hawaii. even though il
means money for F'razee

YALE, ON COMPARATIVE
DOPE, SHOULD WIN OUT

While the contest for supremacy in the
intercollegiate Basketball League may be
said. at the widest reckoning. to involve
Yale, Princeton. and Pennsylvania-the
three leading teams-the Quakers may
now win the championship only in event
of disaster to Yale. This is extremely
unlikely. hence Pennsylvania may be re-
garded as practically eliminated from the
race. If the Ellis are to be nosed out
of the leading position the honor of this
feat will probably fall to Princeton. The
general idea. however, is that the Blue
will continue at the top until the season
ends. She has won five games and lost
one-to Princeton. The Tigers have won
four contests and lost one-to Pennsyl-
vania. They have five more games to
play; Yale has four.
A study Of statistics concerning the
various teams reveals at least one in
teresting fact, which is that supremacy
in team-scoring reflects league standing
in inverse ratio:

The critics who write golf back Eas,

Evans. They admit there are plenty OF
good golfers in the running. but Evans
will enter the tournament this year with
the memory OF his 1916 victories. when
he won both the amateur and open golf
titles, to bolster his nerves. And the
confidence he will derive from those
memories will go a long way toward

FAIRGROUNDS HAVE
DEVELOPED TENNIS

A prominent lawn tennis official re-
Gently propounded the query as to whar
was the most important element in ths
development of interest in athletics of
all kinds in this day. The writer asked
the answer and the tennis expert en-
pressed the following view of the matter:
years ago our towns were smaller.
the vacant lots more plentiful, and fields
Tor athletic competition, and for play.
were to be found on every hand. The
rapid growth of big cities has eliminateo
these play spots within one generation.
We were threatened with the wiping out
or all play possibilities which would
inevitably have not only destroyed COM
plete all sporting activity, but would
also have resulted in a deterioration of
the race, for the growing youth must
have certain amount of bodily activity
every day in order to develop the mental
being. When this condition first became
alarming. public spirited men, mainly
men who have in their younger days
enjoyed some form of athletics, began
the task of overcoming this danger by
the establishment Of public Playground
How well they have succeeded a trip
through any big city will show. The
actual effects are being felt in every line
of sport, for instead of a deterioration
of the physical being. and the falling OF
in the interest in athletics the reverse
has been the case. All good sportsmen
should put their shoulder to the wheel
in this good work, and provide a future
for sport"

that he scored only one ace in the sec

counter which could not be explained by
the spectators.
Pel was at the top Of his game. In
fact, he played with a smoothness which
his opponent was unable to fathom and
In addition he outmaneUvered Mortimer,
he played to the defending champion's s

so forcibly that the dethroned title-hold-

Mortimer did his best work in the first
game. but even his best today was un-
availing. He lost this game and there
