ALL THREE LOCAL
CLUBS HERE SUNDAY
Yanks VS.. Red SOX and Giants
in Brooklyn Likely
Card.

There ia little doubt that New York
will sec its first major league baseball
game under the new Sunday law on
April 81. Members Of the Board of AL
derman yesterday declared that the law
would be made operative for New York
city next Tuesday, when the board will
pass an ordinance to that effect The
Aldermen passed resolution favoring
Sunday baseball even before tho bill
went before the Legislature.
With the Sunday law effective New
York fans, no doubt, will have games
next Sunday both at the Polo Grounds
and Ebbets Field. At the Polo Grounds
the Yankees will act the host. but II is
not certain which club 1t will entertain.
The Red SoX close their series here next
Saturday and the Athletics are due here
on Monday. Tho chances are that the
Red Sox will be asked TO stay over for
Sunday To play "A game moved forward
from September.
AT Ebbets Field the chances are that
the Superbas will meet the Giants in q
game moved forward from late in the
season. The Giants close in Ihiladel-
phia next Saturday and will pasa
through here on Sunday on their way
to Boston. II the Giants do not play,
Charley Ebbets no doubt will schedule
Philadelphia. But the chances all are
in favor OF the Giants, so that New York
very likely will see all three local clubs
In action on Sunday afternoon.

Both Willie Kyronen of New York

Cages entrant, led until a mile from
the finish. Three miles away Gilman
and Schuster were still running side by
side behind him and they were con-
sidered likely winners. Laako came
from the rear at this juncture and
started out TO overhaul the runners
Kyronen was away back and whether
he was conserving his strength for the
! Newton hills or whether his physical
condition did not enable him to do better
was guess.
The long hills leading up from the
| reservoir to Boston College took much
out Of the men. Gillespie especially was
Letced to suffer. Going up the hill
Laako, the New Yorker, started TO run
fast and swinging down he set full sail
after Gillespie. But soon after he over
took the leader both Linder and Wick
overlook him.
Linder passed Laako near Coolidge
corner and IL was evident the local boy
possessed 'enough reserve strength to
pass Gillespie. who was only fifty yards
in the lead. Going down the stretch
from Coolidge corner Under drew up
within a few yards of the Chicago man.
When he realized that Gillespie wasn't
| able TO respond to his challenge Linder
started out on his own hook and ran at a
! speedy gait over the last mile to the
| finish at the B. A. A clubhouse.

ELI JUNIORS TRIUMPH


New HAVEN, Conn. April 1s.--Penn-
sylvania's crew defeated the, Yale eight
In Then annual race on the Housatonic
River at Derby this evening The
Quakers made up for their beating by
the Navy last week with n splendid
exhibition OF rowing technique and
power. and won from the Ellis by three
lengths
There was some consolation for Yale
in the result of the race for Junior
varsities. as the Blue second eight won
from PENIS juniors by three quarters
of a length. 1t was a gruelling race
all the way, with Yale developing the
greater power in the final drive 20 the
finish.
Both races were rowed over tho Hen
ley distance, OF one mile and $50 yards.
Fenn's success in the varsity race
was not unexpected, as yesterday in a
trial spin the pupils OF Joe Wright
bettered the record for the Henley dis
tarce here with n time row in $50.
ITolday weather and other conditions
were even better than yesterday. The
Penn oarsmen in the varsity boat pulled
a fast and even stroke, against the
slower English stroke of the Ellis, and
the Penn method proved by far more
effcaclous.
Penn did even better than It did last
year, when It won from Yale on the
Schuylkill by two lengths.
The time of the varsity crews was ::
Pennsylvania. $50 Us; Yale, 6 al rs.
Second crews--Yale, s .27 49, Pennsyl-
vania. 0 80 rs.
One of the features OF the regatta
was the work of the Yale second crew,
which made better time than the Blue
varsity eight. The Junior crew event
was delayed when n Yale oarsman broke
an oar while going to the. starting line
and a new oar had to be sent for.
The Quakers rowed clearly and
smoothly in the varsity event, while the
Yale oarsmen splashed considerably and
lacked Nhe leg and body drive which
mrsked Pennsylvania's rowing.
The Pennsylvania crew got away to
a good start and quickly gained lead
of half a length, which WAS held until
the last quarter mile mark. Then the
Philadelphians speeded UP, increasing
their margin up to the finish line. The
victors appeared strong at the finish
while the Blue oarsmen clearly showed
the effects of the grind.
The Yale Junior eight gained an ad-
vantage at the start and held it through.

The rowing officials of both unlver.
stiles were guests of the city of Shelton
