Poor
For Harvard
Track Team

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. 19.-With
eight men reporting daily for the in
formal Harvard track team, prospects
for this branch of athletics this spring
now appear dubious. Plans to enter
men into number of indoor meets
have practically been abandoned, and,
unless there is an improvement in at
tendance when outdoor work is due,
there will be no team at all this
spring.
Harvard hopes to be able to develop
relay team from this band of eight
men. The runners are w. II. Goodwin,
L. B. Evans, L. B. Sanderson, c. II.
Corning and Burnham Lewis. Aside
from Lewis, none of the men has any
remarkable running strength.
Coach Donovan is working hard to
develop a team that will be able to last
a long distance relay, each man cover
ing $50 yards, and. if successful, this
four will be used in the B. A. A. meet
next month. Lewis, who captained the
informal cross country team, is mile
and two-mle runner. but Donovan
hopes to have him fit to run the short
relay distance this winter and help the
Crimson out of hard hole.
The freshman team has thirty two
candidates, and by spring should have
squad strong enough to meet its
customary annual opponents, Exeter,
AndoVer and Yale, '21.

johnson Abolishes
A. L. Player Limit

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-Aboition of the
player limit in the American League
was announced by President Ban John
son tonight. The action was neces-
sary, he said, to protect club owners
who face the danger of losing several
players in the next draft for military
service. He was advised that three
members of the Cleveland club--Roth.
Harris and Klepfer-had been placed
in Glass /.
Under the new ruling the clubs will
be unrestricted in the number of play
crs they carry. In previous years the
clubs were obliged to cut their roster
to twenty-five men on May L..
President Johnson said he under
stood the National League would take
similar action.
President Johnson, accompanied by
his secretary, William Harridge, left
tonight for Washington to attend the
conference with Federal officials on
Monday in regard to adopting a
method for collecting the Federal war
tax.
The meeting to draft the 1918 SEIZED
ules of the major leagues. set for
Tuesday in Washington, will be held
in Pittsburgh either on Tuesday or
Wednesday. The change was made be-
cause of the illness of Barney Drey-
fuss, president of the Pittsburgh club,
and one Of the National League repre-
sentatives on the schedule committee.

Hall and Cragin
Tie at Tennis

The championship Of the 18th Regi-
ment Tennis Club for 1918 is still un-
decided, although Walter Merrill Hall
and Arthur S. Cragin were supposed to
have settled the question of supremacy
on the board courts yesterday after
noon. Darkness in the armory pre-
vented them from finishing their final
round match, after four sets had been
played. Hall took the first and third
sets by scores of 81, CO, and Cragin
triumphed in the second and fourth, at
10, 8--6. The match will probably
be finished next Saturday.
The men relied largely on deep
making for the net after the openings
had been made safe. The poor light in

Bennett Wins Trophy
In N. Y. 4. C.. Shoot
Makes Only Straight Score
of Day-Poor Light
Keeps Records Low

1t was a straightless day at the
Travers Island traps Of the New York
Athletic Club yesterday. Only one
straight score of 25 targets was re-
turned by the Winged Foot Nimrods.
1t was registered by A. C. Bennett in
the shoot for the Travers Island trophy
In all the other shoots the legs were
scored by the Nimrods having full
scores of rs targets.
The light was responsible for the low
scores. The waters of Long Island
Sound in front of the shooting traps
were not only frozen, but the ice was
covered with snow. A strong sun sent
up a nasty glare that SO dazzled the
gunners that they found considerable
difficulty in breaking the flying blue
rocks.
notwithstanding the handicap, j. P.
Donovan, who was the high scratch
gunner, made the excellent total of 81
out of possible 100 targets. The high
handicap prize was won by w. c. Poert-
ner, who took the trophy after shoot
off. He had full score of 100 targets
in the first time at the traps.
NO fewer than twelve gunners scored
legs on the Haslin cup. They were B..
R. Stoddard, j. NJ Mclaughlin, R. r.
Debacher, r. L. Spotts c. l.. Macleod,
r. NJ. Wilson, w. B. Ogden, O. c. Grin
nell, G. M. Pynchon, w. c. Poertner, J..
l. Brandenberg and W. S. Silkworth. In
the club shoot there were thirteen gum
ners with full scores of rs targets each.
They were j. P. Donovan, N. Webb, T.
H. Lawrence, r. r. Debacher, D. L..
Culver, c. L. Macleod. F. M. Wilson, w.
c. Poertner, F. A. Baker, ]. I. Brandon
berg, E. R. De Wolfe, w. r. Delehanty
and W. S. Silkworth.
Although a like number returned
straights in the shoot for the accumu-
lation prize, only two of the number
were entered in the event. They were
L. H. Lawrence and w. r. Delehanty.
Each WAS credited with q leg.
