The New York Yankees proved them

high places in every position, accord

made known yesterday. Home Run
Frank Baker retained his crown as the
leading third baseman. syAile Peck, the

near the top.
While the Yanks, with a percentage
of 971, were one point behind the Red
Sox in the club fielding the New York
team was really the steadiest in the
league; The honor Of completing the
most double plays went to the Phil

were only six plays behind. The honor
OF making the only triple play Of the
season also went to Colonel Ruppert's
boys.
Chick Gandil, Of the Chicago White
Sox, made only ten errors in handling

Collegiate A. A. Will
Hold Annual Confab
Here December II

The thirteenth annual convention of
the National Collegiate Athletic Asso-
citation will be held at the Hotel Astor,
Friday, December 27, at 10 o'clock a. m.
There will be sessions morning, after
noon and evening.
A meeting of the executive commit
tee will be held at the same place on
Thursday evening, December 26, at 8
o'clock. Each local league or confer
ence of colleges whose membership con-
slsts of at least ST. Colleges, four or
more of them being members of the
association, is entitled to send a dele
gate to the meeting of the executive
committee
The convention will be one of the
most important in the history of the
association. Not only must plans be
devised to meet the present chaotic
conditions in college athletics, but the
more important task awaits us, to plan
wisely for the years 20 come. The war
IS over, but 1T will be some months. at
least, before normal conditions return
IN the colleges, and there is still time
to take such measures as will prevent
a recurrence of certain athletic evils
from which war conditions have tenn
porarily relieved us.
The chief topic, therefore, of the
meeting will probably be reconstruc-
tlon, or reeducation, as one of the lead
ers OF the movement writes that he
prefers to call it.

Baseball League
To Be F orrned Next
Spring in England

LONDON, Nov. 16.-It is proposed in
various sporting circles in England to
organize a baseball league to be op-
Grated throughout the coming spring
and summer. The game has made rapid
strides since the arrival of Canadian
troops here early in the war. and espe-
clally since the coming of the Ameri-
cans.
The game is now played by English
teams in preference to cricket. This is
particularly true in barracks. where the
British soldiers have been in constant
contact with their American fellows.
1t Is pointed out that there will be
many Canadian and American soldiers
in England during the coming spring
and summer, unable, for various rea-
sons, to return to their homes in Can
ada and the States
1t is felt that the presence of these
players will give the game a big boost
here. Baseball is bound to assume a
permanent place on the calendar of
British sport.

Harvard Eleven Has
Heavy Line, but Backs
Are Far Too Light

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 16.-The
Harvard Service football team makes
ready for the Boston College game
starting tomorrow. Permission to
practice every morning from until
$3.50 o'clock will provide the players
an opportunity to be all on the field
at the same time, and make it an easy
matter to select regular eleven.
B. c. comes to the Stadium next Satur-
day.
The rushline at Harvard this fall
will not be much lighter than the for
wards of the regular college season.
Fiske Brown of last years Andover
eleven, who is at left guard, weighs
is playing the fine all around game he
is showing this fall. At left tackle
Jim McManmon, of Mercersberg Acad-
emy, also weighs 100 pounds.
Frank Russo, the centre, weighs 1856
pounds. He is hard worker and takes
good care of his position. Stanley
Coleman, the other regular guard,
weighs 1865, and Phil Philbin, who re-
ports next week, scales 1876 pounds.
Captain Daley, now that Philbin is to
try for place, will move back to his
old position, left end. His weight is
16o pounds, and George Dennis, the
other wing, is 175 FOUNDER.
The backtield lacks weight, although
this handicap may be remedied next
week. Conklin, the quartz rback,
weighs only 140 pounds. Sol Goldstein,
who has been sent to the hospital with
influenza, weighs 1853 pounds, and Ben
Zimmerman, so far the star of the back
field, is a 175-pound man. Robert
Porter. the other back, is way below
football weight, 124 pounds being his

first basemen, with thirteen misplays
in 1,341 chances. His average was
969.
Joe Gedeon, the former Yankee, now
with st. Louis, was the best of the
second basemen, with a percentage of
977. Del Pratt, the local player, was
second. with 1853. Baker headed the
third basemen with .972, with Gardner,
Philadelphia, second with .964. Scott,
the Red Sox player, tops the shortstops
with 976, with Peck, Of New York, on
his heels with 961. Strunk, of Boston,
leads the outfielders, with three err
rors in 243 chances for percentage of
1888. Liebold, Chicago, and Veach, De.
troit, follow him in order.
The pitchers who handled every
chance that came their way without
an error we're Russell, Chicago and
Flnneran, Keating and Thornmahlen
all three Yankee players. Finneran
really deserves first place, as he had
two put outs and thirty-five assists to
his credit.

Jamaica II. s.
Harriers Win
Borough tile
Beat Out Flushing Team by
One Point in Annual
Competition

Splendid team running was seen in
the Queens Borough 'cross-country
championship run, in which Jamaica
High School, with Al points, nosed
out the Flushing High School team
by one point. The annual COM
petition was held over the official
three-mle Public Schools Athletic
League course in Jamaica yesterday.
Flushing was forced to surrender the
team honors, after winning them in
1915 and 1917.
Not far behind the two leaders came
the boys of Richmond Hill High School,
who compiled total Of 4S points.
Then followed Far Rockaway High
School with 70 points. A field of thirty
two runners started, making one of the
largest representations that ever
started for the honors.
Flushing retained the individual title
when Albert Tracey led home the field
of barriers after a stiff duel with Mike
greater part of the journey. Tracey
reserved his speed for the final effort,
to move away from Bello in the last
220 yards, winning by Is yards. Rob
ert White, Richmond Hill, was third.
Tracey's time was 1920 25, which is
regarded as fast performance.
Jamaica boys failed to win any for
ward positions, but when they did be-
gin to cross the finish line mates fol
lowed in quick order. Their victory is
attributed to the fact that all the men
who composed the team were checked
among the first eleven runners home.
Flushing failed to retain its title when
it's other runners finished far behind
Tracey and Bello.
Farley and Stewart, Of Jamaica, and
Tracey and Bello from Flushing led
the pack from the start. Tracey dis
placed Farley as the leader after the
first lap and was never headed there

A communication from Paris on be-
half of the manager of Eugene Criqui
probably the smartest bantamweigh

don looking toward a contest between
Jimmy Wilde and Criqui. The French
boys manager says he is prepared to
make the match for any reasonable

Criqui who started boxing in 1910
met several English boxers in late,
years, and though he was outpointec
IN 20 rounds by Sid Smith in Paris
ne boxed two ten round draws with

Until the war is over Wilde will not

konetchy Forgot Own
Ability for Moment

1t is an unwrtten law that pitcher
cannot get under high fly, but when
ever one threatens to drop near the
pitchers box the pitcher must hurry
to to one side and let an infelder make
the catch
How ironclad this rule is can be
appreciated from what Ed Konetchy
d!d one day last season when he
pltched instead of first-based. Catch
ing high flies is one of the first base
mans chief duties, and Konetchy is an
expert at the trick, but, when on this
day, batsman hit an infield fly toward
the pitchers box. Konetchy sidestepped d
and let the third sacker make the
catch.

Bombardier Wells After
Heavyweight Title

From England comes report of a
speech made by Bombardier Wells at
a recent boxing show, in the course of
which he declared he hoped to win
the heavyweight championship of the
world. This should amuse followers of
the game in this country who remem-
Der the miserable showing made by
Wells in his bouts with the late AL
Palzer and "Gunboat" Smith, and who
were of the opinion that Wells had
been consigned to the pugilistic scrap
heap.
If Wells is serious he might take a
crack at Georges Carpenter, who is
closer at hand than any of the Amer
lean contenders for the title. How
ever, Wells has had one unfortunate
experience with Carpenter and prob
ably would hesitate about tackling the
plucky Frenchman a second time.

De Witt Clinton Is
Easy Winner Over
Morris H. S. Elever

De Witt Clinton High School stepped
nearer the Manhattan Borough foot
ball championship when it defeated
Morris High School on South Field
yesterday by a score Of II to 0. The
Clinton eleven had undergone many
changes during the last week, with the
result that the team showed itself to
be the strongest yet placed on the
field
The Morris defence held several
times near its goal line in the early
periods, but the Clinton backs broke
through later in the game. Trick
plays and shift formations puzzled the
Morris players. Roy Isenberg, the
Clinton quarterback, was the outstand-
ing star, with Galbraith. the fullback,
close behind in this respect.
Galbraith kicked a field goal from
the 35-yard line in the second quarter,
while Isenberg made his first touch
down in the third session on a thirty
yard run through a broken field.
In the fourth period Isenberg tailed
another touchdown on play through
the Morris line. Galbraith kicked both
goals.

TYOtte1S To Be Sold
At Big AUCTION Here
Nineteen 3-Year-Old Colts
From Walnut Hall Farm
Go Under Hammer
By Frank S. Cooke

While, Of course, speculation Is 81
desirable and almost necessary feature
of tho average harness meeting, one
does not hear the trotting horse folk
talking much about prices in the ring.
The principal point Of interest with
them is the speed and the manner in
which the horse shows it; the next
one is the breeding, and the third Is
the figure at which the horse was sold
or might be bought
So. when the racing days are over
for the year the attention Of votaries
of the sport Of the sulky turns to the
big auction sales. the first Of which is
that which opens at Madison Square
Garden tomorrow and continues for
five days New York sales are the most
important Of any because of the num-
ber of highly bred yearlings, two and
three year clds with futurity engage
ments that are released from the
farms so that somebody else can enjoy
the anticipation, and at the same time
pay the training bills
The big consignment at this weeks
sale is from Walnut Hall Farm, the
bluegrass estate of the late L. V. Hark-
ness, of New York, and it includes
seventyhv youngsters by Moko, San
Francisco, Manrico, Walnut Hill and
Native King. This is the bunch that
was to have featured the March sale,
but could not be transported from Ken
lucky, as the government needed cars
for army horses.
Strangers to Racetrack
Unlike many of the young things
that will be knocked down to the high
est bidder, none Of the Walnut Hill
colts has been on a racetrack. They
are worked in the long barn at the
farm, trotting ahead of a pony on
which the colt man is perched, so that
very little is taken from them.
Other notable consignments are
those of James R. Mcgowan, whose
yearlings have habit of beating 2:3O;
the Laurel Hall bunch of thirty Peter
and near relatives to the great horses
of the day.
What splendid progress is being
made by trotters is shown in the latest
figures, which place the additions to the
2:10 list this year at seventy-one to
date, against total of sixty-two in
1917. The latest addition is Little
Jack, which lowered the record for
four-year geldings to 2:09 on the
half-nile track at Riverside, Cal, this
being a purely California bred trotter
The real feature of the 2:10 list this
year is the fact that it contains the
names of nineteen three -year-olds,
which is a bumper crop. These colts,
with their sires and records, are as
follows:
