That the German taint will not find
its way into international lawn tennis
for many years, if ever again, Is indi-
Gated by the action taken by England
last week, when the English Lawn Ten
mis- Association issued a statement for
bidding any British players from en-
tcring any tournaments in which sub
jects of the Central Powers are allowed
to compete.
Following the lead of the English
associations the Commission Centrale
Lawn Tennis of Franco adopted
similar ruling. and it will not be sur
prising to hear that Italy, Belgium
and the other nations of the Entente
Allies have raised the bars against the
unspeakable Hun. And it is we'll that
it is So The German and his comrades
of the bloody hands and the brutal
heart have no place in a game that has
been famous these many years for that
superhne craftsmanship that is inher-
ont in tennis.
In letter to George Townsend Adee,
president of the United States Ma
tional Lawn Tennis Association, II.
Anthony Sabelli secretary of the Eng
lish governing body, quotes the regula-
tions adopted at recent meeting Of
the council, as follows
"No British player shall be allowed
to take part in any tournaments or
competitions organized by our enemies
and held on enemy territory
"All enemy players are prohibited
from entering at any tournaments or
competitions sanctioned by the l.. T. A.
For the purposes Of lawn tennis,
the new Czecho- Slovak nation shall be
regarded as Allies.
British players are prohibited from
taking part in tournaments or compc-
titlons organized In any neutral coun-
try unless the Lawn Tennis Associa-
tion or corresponding organization of
such country shall have prohibited the
acceptance for the same by subjects of
enemy nations.
"Prospectuses or programmes of all
tournaments and competitions orpan-
lied by affiliated associations, clubs or
committees must contain condition
to the effect that under no circum-
stances shall entries be accepted from
players from enemy nationality, and
adequate steps must be taken bv nil
concerned to render this prohibition
effective"
The wording of this resolution ap-
pears sufficiently explicit to prevent
any doubt as to its meaning and in
tent, but 1t ia not within the rnnpe
Of possibility that any Britisher or
+ lrcnchman would think Of associnting
/ himself in sporta with subjects Of
those nations that showed their utter
lack of sporting instncts by their CON

Plans Settled
By Conference
Brides, Bull and Alcott
-~ Will Assist DIR. Sharpe
in Coaching Eleven II

NEW HAVEN, April 5.-Yale's foot
ball plans for next fall have just been
rounded into shape at conference
between DR.. Alfred Hayes Sharpe, who
WAS recently chosen athletic director
at the university, and the university
officials. Every detail of the situation
was discussed and it was decided that,
in case Guy Gates, who was elected
captain at the close of the 1916 season,
does not return to college next fall
the election of captain be deferred
until after the scheduled games begin.
Captain Gates has announced that he
plans to leave Yale at the close of the
school year in June.
1t was decided that under existing
conditions it would be impracticable to
order extensive spring practice, al
though most OF the larger universities
have already begun to organize their
football squads for next fall. Many
prominent Yale football candidates are
scattered among the spring sport teams.
Mead, one of the leading candidates
for tackle, is captain of the crew, and
fullback Jim Braden is captain of the
track team. Charlie Comerford, the end
rush, is one of the members of the
baseball pitching staff, and Thorne
Murphy, the halfback and drop kicking
specialist, is shortstop of the baseball
team.
Captain Gates will probably take
charge Of the spring football practice,
which will begin in about a fortnight
and will continue three weeks. The
work, however. will be largely rudi-
mentary.
DIR. Sharpe stated to the Yale ath-
letic officials that he wished as assist
ant coaches next fall DR.. Arthur f.
Brides for the rush line, DR.. William
t. Bull for the backfeld candidates
and Clarence Alcott for the ends. The
trio, Brides, Bull and Alcott, consti-
tuted the executive staff in develop
ing the 1915 eleven, which, from medi-
ocre material, defeated Harvard and
Princeton in a remarkable finish of q
season which opened disastrously.
OF the graduate football committee
chairman Vance Mccormick is still in
Europe, but Walter Camp, of this city,
and Brink Thorne, of New York City,
are in close touch with DR.. Sharpe
while Major George T. Adee has just
returned from military service of more
than year in France.

Wainwright Scores
Victory Over Adams
On Squash Courts

A month of squash tennis activity
at the Yale Club was ushered in yes.
terday with the playing of the open.
ing round of the annual Class A
scratch tournament. All the prom
inent players are entered, and the va
rlous matches arranged for the com
ing three weeks are intended to put
the men in shape for the club cham
pionship later this month.
Three of the four matches played
were keenly fought, especially that in
which Stuyvesant Wainwright defeat
ed William Adams by a score of 15-5
l2-15, 1915.
Adams was far from his best form
IN the first game, which his rival
won easily, but thereafter put up a
stubborn attack, compelling Vain
wright to call into play every trick
to defeat him.
Another hard match was won by
Alan Corey, whose terrific smashing
shots proved too hot for c. J. Mcguire
to handle.

The University of Pittsburgh sur
prised every one last year by taking
second place in the Intercollegiate,
while earlier in the season at the Penn
Sylvania relay carnival they provided
the sensation by winning three races,
Two of which, the sprint medley and
the one mile, were American cham
pionships. This years team is stronger
than last years and will be watched
with the keenest interest on Franklin
Field April 25 and 26.
Last year Pittsburgh started on Fri
day in the sprint medley relay cham
pionship, which the Panthers won after
hard race from Pennsylvania. This
year they have stronger team in
Brickley and Peters for the two-fur-
long relays; Shea for the quarter and
Albright for the half Albright was
third in the half-mile championship
last year and can run his half in
minute 81 seconds.
1t is rumored that Pittsburgh will
probably use Eckhardt for the quarter
and put Shea in for the half There is
no doubt that Shea can run a fast
half. Eckhardt can do close to so sec
ords for the quarter, so Coach Kerr
feels that the team will keep near the
front for the first three relays and that
Shea can come through in the half mile
distance and win out
Pennsylvania will have corking
team in Raymond and Davis, who were
first and third in the 220-yard intercol-
legiate championship, running the first
two relays at their favorite distance; /;
Smith for the quarter and Gustavson
FOR the half. Columbia, Dartmouth
Missouri, Princeton, Michigan and Chi
cago also have teams that should 20
near the record. This means that this
race should be one of the greatest that
has ever been seen on Franklin Field

Sam Goldman, manager Of Pete
Herman, bantamweight champion of
the whole wide world, wrote US a long
letter from New Orleans yesterday and
asked us, "for the love Of Pete" to
publish it, but we're not going to do
it. Samuels letters are too blamed

IT may be, of course, that tho bally

Bulkley Beats Keeler
In Squash Tennis Match

Frederick S. Keeler was eliminated
from the tourney when he was beaten
by Harold D. Bulkley in a semi-fnal
round match of the Glass A series for
the Columbia Club squash tennis cham
pionship yesterday. The match was
featured by long rallies, despite the
score of 3-15, 15-8, 15-7. Keeler was
baffled by his opponents southpaw
drives, and also had trouble contend
ing with Bulkley's low shots.
Robert L. Strebeigh was among tho
winners in the Glass B tourney, down
ing N. F. Cushman rather easily by
score of 15--3, 156. f. D. Shaw also
triumphed over r. M. McCollom by a
tally of 15-2, 15-3, while A. B.

In the Training Camp
-CRANTLAND RICE

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April g.
The Yanks concluded their second
training week here to-day under a sun
hot enough to bake pretzels. There
were times when the bubbles began
popping in the necks of the athletes,
which is the final test of training
weather.
Al Mamaux has apparently come
back to the form which made him
famous. The ex-Pirate had the Yanhs
blinking moodily at his repertery this
afternoon, and not a man broke
through his guard in five rounds. Wally
Pipp was credited with a blow in the
fourth, but the drive was merely an
outfeld fly, which Griffith lost in the
sun. Ordinarily it would have been
an easy out. This was the only punch
that even resembled his while
MamauX was at work.
Mamaux carried kink in his arm
for year or two, but the ship rivet-
ing business must have ironed it out.
He had as much stuff this afternoon
as he ever had with Pittsburgh when
he looked like a million dollars.
George Mogridge worked With his
usual steadiness. The Dodgers tapped
his supply for a run, but he pitched
himself out Of blnkin she'll hole in
the third. with runners on second and
third and nobody out.
Mr.. Ward spent two innings dream
ing of the hour. In both the fifth and
seventh he was caught Of first by a
matter Of fifteen fcot. Just what sys-
tenn he was operating no one seems
TO know.

score was 15-11, 15-13, 1913.
Bishop only accomplished his victory
by setting terrific pace through out

of pace that baffled Casey. In the
third game Bishop tired somewhat,
but braced admirably after setting the
