Columbia Club
Beats Harvard
In Squash Play
Crimson, However, Retains
Title for Third Year
Appel Forfeits Match

The Harvard Club squash team bowed
to the Columbia Club in series which
closed the Glass A, Inter-Club cham
pionship tournament, on the Blue and
White courts yesterday. The Colum-
bia men won by three matches to two,
with the winning match obtained after
a Harvard man had injured himself.
1t was the first setback suffered by
the Crimson players in the tourney,
but they nevertheless retain the title
for the third successive year, with
season record of five victories and one
defeat. Columbia is second with four
victories in six matches.
Appel Suffers Injury
John W. Appel, jr., the Harvard
man, was compelled to forfeit his
match against Lyle E. Mahan, his Col
umbia rival, while the men were en-
gagged in playing the third game. Each
had won one game and Mahan was
leading in the third by aces to 5,
when Appel, attempting to intercept
the ball, turned sharply on his feet.
An injured leg, sustained in a bob
shedding accident in Maine several
months ago, began to trouble him and
Appel was unable to continue.
Both the other Columbia victories
were realized after closely fought
three-game matches. Frederick S.
Kecler, the Columbia veteran. played
in especially good form in defeating
Arthur f. Ellis, Harvard. by score
Of 1910, 6-15, 1874. Keeler was in
accurate stroke, driving low around
the court, and frequently smashing
the ball over the tell-tale for "kills."
His sharp cross court attack also
troubled ELS.
Harry d. Bulkley nettcd another
Columbia win when he rallied strong
ly to defeat Elliot Ellsworth, jr., by
a score of Ills, s15-7, 1910. Bulkley
used change of pace effectively and
returns to the corners of the back
walls that Ellsworth found exceeding
ly difficult to dig out with his racquet.
National Champion Again Wins
Fillmore Van S. Hyde, Of Harvard,
national open champion, won handily
from Frank Kidde, while Robert G.
Coburn's steadness wss of great aid
to him in downing Edward W. Putnam,
his more experienced Columbia oppon
cnt. Both Crimson victories were
earned in two straight games.
The summary follows:

New-York tribune., 1918-03-15

1t is not surprising that Colonel j..
himself d few years ago, should select
Jess Willard as box office attraction.
The scent of the sawdust yet hangs
about Jess's person, and those old cir
Gus people certainly do stick together.
1t was not definitely announced, at
the time the Palpitating Paciiist put
his signature to Colonel Miller's con-
tract, whether Jess was to sit in q cage,
cat raw meat three times day and
bark like wild hyena, or just fight.
We imagine, however, that the Sawdust
Twin will don the gloves, since the
latest returns tell us that Willard has
agreed to defend his title on July 4
! against some suitable opponent.
Yesterday Colonel Miller held a con-
ference in Kansas City with Mike Col
Inns, Fulton's manager, and the Fero-
cous and Far Seeing Frederick, in N
effort to come to terms regarding q
bout with the champion, but there was
d hitch. Fulton is reported to have in
sisted upon one-third of the purse for
such bout, but as Willard is probably
determined to take down at least 80
44-10O per cent Of the gate himself,
! the conference stopped functioning
right there.
Before parting, Miller and Collins
arranged to hold another meeting. In
the meantime Willard may sleep off a
| fractional part Of his demands and con-
sent to do battle for a fiat 80 per cent.
Sleep is so rcstful.
Collins, after listening to Miller's
i proposition, made a counter offer, guar
/ anteeing Willard 100000 for a twcnty-
round bout in New Orleans on July 4.
Mr.. Miller said NOTHING.
But Colonel Miller is going to make

Schreyer Ready to Perform
Thrilling Act for Benefit of
Athletic War Fund

If the police authorities are willing
to stand for big stunt, and if the
public are equally willing to sec it, a
real out and out thriller has been
planned for Daredevil Schreyer to do
his world famous bicycle dive for the
benefit of the athletic war fund. The
plan to have Schreyer do his heart
stopping aerial trick in some prominent
spot in New York has been conceived
by some of the leading sporting writer's,
and all the coin collected is to be sent
to the war charities. 1t is understood
that only one thing now remains in the
way Of tho act and that Is police per-
mission.
~ Wild as the project might seem it has
a practical turn to it in that it would
be the means of collecting money and
would give the general public a chance
to see Schreyer in HIS pct role.

Game in First Half
Final Score | to O

The Hockey Club of New York de-
feated the seven of the Crescent Ath-
letic Club last night at the Brooklyn
Ice Palace, Atlantic and Bedford Ave
nues, in the Inter Borough League
series by a score of l goal to O..
Caughtry shot the winning tally in the
hrst half few seconds before the
whistle blew, and, although both teams
tried furiously to score another goal.
the defensive work of each side was
too strong.
The Crescent team of veterans was
unable to score, partly because of the
excellent goal tending of Collins, of
the Hockey Club. This player stopped
half dozen shots that seemed fated
to land within the net. Castleman and
White made many charges down the
ice, only to be turned aside by the
Crescent defence. Finally Won Bernuth
and Caughtry, skating down the ice to-
gether, broke through, Caughtry TAX
Ing a pretty pass from Won Bernuth
and scoring the goal at a sharp angle.

Several times in the last period it
looked as though one side or the other
would make tally. but both goal
tenders were on the alert and Tended
off dangerous shots with stick, hand
and foot. The game was played under
the Canadian style, six men on side,
with the rovers eliminated. The larg-

HAUBER THEATRE,

Marvellous Maciste," at the Haul Der, Monday, is a photoplay written around the enormous physical strength of one man. It is thrilling and laughingly amusng. But the most tsartlng bid it has for approval is ts novelty and ngeniousness. Nearly off of the various stunts shown will be en tirely new to screen audiences, for it is safe to say that no other actor now appearng on the screen is capable of the enormous feats of strength of Ernesto Pagano. If he wants to stop a speeding automobile he picks up a fallen tree and throws it casually across the road; if man or group of men are in the way he nonchantly picks up and throws them twenty or thirty feet through the air; if he wants to break out of durance vile he calmly breaks down the building, and so on through the vast multitude of his eScapadeS,

J. F. Smith. Spaniard, residing in Hamilton. Ont., possesses two crea- lures that are probably unique. He considers them to be mermaids. Though these are described as fab.
