1917 PouoHkEEPsIE REGATTA
 WILL TAKE PLACE JUNE q
No Action Taken on Cutting the Dis
 tance of the Race.

New York, Jan 25-The. board of stewards of the Intercollegiate Rowing Association today set the date of the 1917 regatta at Poughkeepsie for Thursday, June 21, and of the 1918 re- gatta for Tuesday. June 25 The hours for the starts of the race on both these dates were fixed as follows:
 Junior varsity. 4:15 p. m.; freshmen D. m-; varsity 6:16 p. m.
 The board at today's meeting decided after a good deal of discussion, not to send out any invitations until after an- other meeting. which will be held here about month hence The question of cutting down the distance of the var sity race from four to three miles was better to get in touch with the several also talked over but it was thought college authorities before taking ac- ton.
 However, it was evident that a re- duction of the distance of the race was favorab1y looked upon.
 It was said that the cutting down Of the varsity race to the shorter dis tance would open the way for Prime ton, Annapolis Wisconsin and other colleges of this type, which, during the season, hold dual races at two miles,
 Since the organization of the asso- citation in 1895 all the varsity races have been rowed over a four mile course except in 1898. when the inter collegiate regatta was rowed on Sar- atoga Lake, PennsyIvania's crew win ming over the three miles course in 15:51 1-2.

Much of the stone taken from the site upon which the field house will be erected, is to be used in the foundation of the building as was the case when the dormitories were built. The matter of securing granolithic or other suitable sidewalks on Reservoir street, upon which the field house is to be located, has been discussed with much interest and 1t is anticipated that a walk such as was placed on Mohegan avenue will be built
 As the new field house will be used next year as an auditorium for the public Performances and affairs given 1 by the college, a walk Sf some kind will become almost necessity. That the proper steps in regard to the mat | ter would be taken was the assurance of Chairman Morgan of the street committee, when approached on the subject of a walk.

COLGATE FIVE HAS
 HARD CONTRACTS AHEAD
Basketball Team Has Won Every
 Game So Far This Season.
Especial to The Bulletin. )


 Hamilton, N. Y, Jan. 25.-A three game trip consisting of probably the three hardest contests on their sche- dule is the lot of the fast Colgate five this weekend So far as can be judged the Maroon team could not be in better condition at this stage of the season. Four garnes. have been played and every one has resulted in a Colgate victory. Clarkson was the op- ening number. followed by Cornell Niagara and Springfield Y. M. c. A. The last-named before meeting the Maroon had humiliated both Dart mouth and Yale, and the Spring gfield game is therefore fair evidence of Col gates strength.
 The coming trio of battles. however. with Alleghaney at Meadville, Buffalo at Buffalo. and Rochester at Rochester are more likely to be real tests of Col gates strength. The first and last particularly are regarded as doubtful by the Hamilton institution.
 The hockey team also leaves this week on a two game trip to meet the Army and Yale. Little is known here of the strength of either. The Colgate team is likewise of uncertain calibre at present. Much confidence, however, is

PRESENT RULES SATISFACTORY
Little Need of Change in Baseball Batting Means
 More Time-Average Game Lasts About Two Hours.

Just why there should be a loud, in sfstent call for some changes in the base ball rules that would result in more batting and run making is hard to understand.
 The official records show that 4,596 tallies were achieved in the American league in 1916, or an average of S.71 per team per game. This means an average of over seven round trips per game for two teams and a contest that results in score of to 3 or to has enough action in it for the aver age fan.
 As a matter of fact the base ball public is getting educated to the idea that a game in which there is a whole lot of hitting and run making is Q loosely played aiair. It is of course rooter any game that the home team wins is a. good one, regardless of the score or the manner of making it. But if the home club has to lose, it gets of 1 to O or 2 to 1 than by g to 8 or something of that sort
 Means More Time. An increase in batting means an in- crease in the time consumed in play ing game, which is no inconsiderable item The average man does not feel that he can spend more than two hours at the ball park on a week day. If he is detained any longer than that, he is apt to get home late for the big meal and if the games start earlier than or 3.15, the fans will not want offices or other places of employment to see them opened.
 At that it might be an excellent idea to start at 2.S0 on Saturdays. for al- most every one who goes to the game on this weekend date is through for the day by 9 o'clock at the latest. About o'clock is as early as it is well to begin the Sunday battles, for -a c. I1-r %I1afT principal Sabbath gorge in the mid- dle of the day and do not finish stow ing away the fodder until or 2.3O o'clock.
 Average is Two Hours.
 Under existing conditions the aver age game of ball takes about two hours. There is no reason why it should consume all this time, but the fact remains that it does. Even the proposed plan to call only one foul strike instead of two would result in a marked increase in the duration of the battles, probably adding 15 min utes on the average.
 Detroit fans certainly have no com plaintS to make about the dearth or batting. The Tigers are the hardest gest runmakers. They cannot do enough work with the ash entirely to offset their pitchers weaknesses, how ever, and consequently they have not won a pennant since 1909. There does not seem to be any idea in Detroit that Jennings shiuld endeavor to sign up some more sluggers so that he could grab victories by main strength
 On the contrary, the public is clam bring for him to get an effective hurl- ing corps that will cut down the enc my's bombardment. The Red Sok, who don't hit at all and let the other fellow do even less with the fail, are not being deserted by their friends because of their lack of power.

HYLAN WINS IN new YORK
Democratic Candidate For Mayor Has
Majority Of approximately $780,.
900 = Mitchell Runs Poor
Second - Big Socialist
Vote q Surprise.

New York, November 6-John F.
Hylan, county judge Of Kings coun-
ty, was elected mayor of New York
today by plurality of more than
100000. He carried with him the en-
tire Democratic city ticket, including
Charles L. Craig for comptroller, Al
fred E. Smith, now sheriff of New
York county, for president of the
board Of aldermen, and Edward
Swami, for district attorney.
The indications are that the Demo-
Gratis will have a majority in the
board of estimate which controls the
expenditure of the city funds.
Mayor John p. Mitchell, who
sought reelection as Fusion candi-
date although not formally nomi-
mated by any party, was poor sec
ond in the race. His vote in 1896
districts out of 2,O6S in the city was
145.459, compared with 2SS,435 for
Hylan.
Morris Hillquit, the Socialist can
didate, about whom rallied most of
the radical elements in the city and
all those who favor an Immediately
negotiated peace, stood third, with
134,890; and William M. Bennett, who
unexpectedly won the Republican pri-
mary nomination from Mayor Mitch
ell, was fourth with 51,S56.
The tremendous Socialist vote was
the feature of the election. The to-
tai polled by that party in the last
mayoralty election was only 32,133.
This year Hillquit ran close third
to Mayor Mitchell and in many cleo
ton districts on the East Side, in
parts of Harlem and the Bronx, he
polled more votes than Mitchell Hill
quit ran on straight-cut peace plat
form. He declared victory for him
would be a mandate to the govern
ment to negotiate an immediate peace.
Hylan carried all five boroughs Of
Greater New York. His best show
ing was in Brooklyn, where Bennett
polled large part of the primary
vote which won him the Republican
nomination after recount. 1t was
conceded by the managers of all par
ties that many of the votes cast for
Bennett would have gone to Mitchell
II he had been the Republican nomi-
nee, but Benefits total for more than
half Of the city added to Mitchell's
would not have been enough to defeat
Hylan.
Had the election been close, the
result might have hinged on the votes
OF the $4,000 soldiers and sailors from
this city who are now in government
service, but il all of them voted for
Mitchell it could not change the re-
suit. All the ballots of the men in
France, in camps and on board ships
will be counted at the same time at
Albany seven weeks hence.
