there was hope that it would then 20 to

But the; Codes Committee pounced
upon McCus's brain child and proceed
ed to give it an awful mauling After
a session in Room 344 the committee

Sunday Ball
Given Chance
OF a Hearing

ALBANY, March ga long step
toward a modification of the drastic
blue laws which prevent the playing of
baseball on Sunday in the State of New
York was effected to-day, when the
Lawson bill, designed to legalize pro-
fessional games on the Sabbath, was
advanced to the order Of final passage
in the Senate.
Supporters of the Lawson bill are
hopeful that favorable action may be
taken on the measure to-day, or at
the latest some time this week. Cham
pions of Sunday reform expect bitter
fight by the various Sabbath alliances
and Lords Day organizations, but they
have prepared we'll for such con-
tlngency.
The Lawson bill won over a great
many of the lawmakers who first op.
posed 1T. when in the joint Codes Com
mlttec it was so amended as to give
home rule privileges to the various
municipalities concerned. 1t is believed
now that the measure will carry .ir
both houses before adjournment. Nor
Is 1t expected that Governor Whitman
will veto the bill if it is passed.
Those who favor the Lawson bill,
made a ten-strike when they secured
the support for their cause of the or.
ganized labor party of the Empire
State. They have also interested 6
number of women's associations. anc
these put up stiff fight for SUNDAY
baseball before the joint Codes Com
mittee.

Princeton Club
Squash Team
Defeats Yale
Tiger Victory Closes the
Competitive Season
Here
By A. C. Cavagnaro

The competitive season in squash
tennis came to an end at the Yale Club
yesterday, when the Princeton Club
members, who are at present enjoying
7 the hospitality of the clubhouse, de-
feated the Eli first team in a dual
meet. Seven matches were decided, the
Tiger representatives winning four of
them.
Robert Monks, the aggressive Prince
ton player, turned in the winning
match when he downed Herbert Sproul,
| comparatively a recruit, in the final
match. by a tally of 1O--15, 15-12,
15-12. The determined fight put up
by Sproul AGAINST his stronger rival
was most commendable, and it was only
his tiring in .the final game that cost
nj the match. Long rallies featured
the playing, with the men setting a
last pace at all times. Monks's placing
Was of clever nature, while Sprouts
change of pace often baffled his op-
ponent
Victor Wins Unexpectedly
The equally balanced teams brought
out some close playing. An unexpected
victory was that Of John A. Victor, of
Yale. over A. D. Mittendorf, the Prince
ton man, by a score of 1918, 1916,
l5-1l. The Eli member played steady
squash throughout, while Mittendorf
at times had tendency to become in
accurate in his driving. Hard PLAYING
was seen at all times, with Victor
playing the stronger as the match
progressed.
Harold Tobey, the Tiger southpaw.
was forced to a third game before he
eliminated Donald Mackay, of Yale.
by score of 9-15, 15-11. 15-12
/ bey's slow start handicapped him in
the first game, but thereafter he fre-
quently, fooled Mackay on his cross
court shots. Impressive victories we're
turned in by H. r. Mixsell and s. Hin

players. -

acial of the New York National League
baseball club, discussing Captain 7. L.
Huston's criticism of baseball from
France, together with the forthcoming
season, declared to-day it would not

may happen in view of the seriousness
of the war situation. | know of four
clubs now that are financially on the

While these clubs were not specified

McGraw put his men through a final
gallop to-day before taking them to

leaguers tomorrow. Anderson, Tesreau
and Jess Barns will do the box work
in Waco.
This afternoon novel contest was

Star, Is Killed

PITTSBURGH. March z6.-The first
Carnegie Tech athlete to be killed in
the European War is Sunny" Kesner,
captain of the football team and one of
the best quarterbacks ever produced
IN Pittsburgh. His father received a
cableegram to-day informing him of the
death of his son in action somewhere
on the battle line in France.
Sunny" Kesner received his front
name from his teammates because of
his disposition, and the student body
at Tech are mourning his loss as thai.
of brother. His playing in the fall
of 1916 attracted the attention of Wal
ter Camp. who gave him favorable
mention in picking the all-American
elevcns.
Carnegie Tech almost defeated Pitt
that year, kesner having a big hand in
the near defeat, as he was the only
player to cross the Pitt line that sea-
son on the home ground
NO details were obtainable tonight
