White for Cleanliness.

It has come to be the feeling of late
years that there is something intrin-
lstcalfy cleaner about white than any
|uther color. It Is the style to have our
|45athroom finished in white, and there
seems to be prejudice against hav-
lag a touch of color in the bathroom
curtains. To be sure, a good many
bathrooms have walls painted q light
blue or green. but the feeling seems
to be that the walls of the ideal bath
room are covered with pure white
thing.
t'Now the white kitchen is coming
fhto favor. Housewives seem to think
fAat just because a kitchen is white
It is cleaner than a kitchen that is
relieved by some color or other. Now
This really is not the fact. The chief
advantage in white is that you can
see quickly when it is soiled and that

New Haven, April 19.---An excel leut early season crowd of over A000 came away from yesterdays Wash ington+New Haven exhibition at the Lighth ouse with the firm conviction that Chief Bender has a real ball club in the making. The tb:tg leag'uerS with Harry Courtney, erstw1iIe New Ha- vener, twirling. won by a 40 margin, but they knew they were in a ball game every moment. The game was an excellent early season exhibition and coupled with Nick AItrock''s s amusing stunts, made every one glad the Sabbath exhibitions were again on tap.
 The locals could do little against CoUrtney's southpaw slants as was to be expected in view of the little op- portunity they have had for hitting against fast pitching, but in the other :, departments in the field and the box
 their performance left nothing to be desired. Bender used three twirlers Heh1, Brasch and Manela. the Cuban
 southpaw, and all three showed splen- did form and the fruits of the willy Indians coaching.

 athletic centers for prospective Olym-
 pie competitors and later on he will
 make a similar trip through the
 Eastern provinces of the Dominion. Knox hopes to> bring together a

While at Winnepeg the coach will get a line on a likely can didate for Marathon honors in Joe Keeper, a strong distance runner.

GERMANS CAN'T
 TAKE PART IN OLYMPIC GAMES

Advices from Berlin and other cities in Germany say that the ath- Ietic and sporting circles there have only awakened to the fact that the F,atherland will not and caunot par ticipate in the Olympic Games this year. Several newspapers there have taken up the matter editorially and are suggesting that movement be made to induce the Olympic commit tee to give permission which will en- able German athletes to compete.
 At a recent meeting of the Board of Control of the Amateur Athletic Union of Australia and New Zealand it was the sense of the meeting that Australia ought surely to be repre- sented at the next Olympic Games. The president of the board, Richard Coombes, 8 veteran promoter ani1 supporter of track and other sports in the Comm monwealth and a friend of American athletic leaders, said that the number of athletes in Australia who would have any chance at the Olympic Games was very small, but he thought that several representing swimming, lawn tennis, and field sports and also some from New Zea- land could be sent to Antwerp.

Lew Tender Cannot Have Any Setups Tn
 Phila. In the Future

No more setups for Lew Tender, at least, not in Philadelphia rings. Tend Ter has been forced to cancel two matches that he had arranged be- cause his prospective opponents did not figure to have a, reasonable chance with him. Tenders manager takes the credit for this action. He de- clares that in the future Tenders opponents in Philadelphia will be se- 1ected from list composed of the ten best GgiBtw edghts in the country.
 Tender was led to see the light when Director of Public Safety James T. Corte1you stopped him from batter ing a helpless novice. and then started a cleanup of the boxing situation in Quakertown. This means that the contender for the lightweight will do most of his boxing in other cities than Philadelphia, where they are not for tunate enough to have a Cortelyou to wise the sport

It was out of the question to expect a, victory over the major 1eaguers. and Bender is well satisfied with the playing of the locals at the present time The in field is practically assured, but the outfield will see some important changes before opening day.
 The Yale team was prevented from playing Columbia Saturday on ac- count of the rain, but the team has lost none of it's dash and speed since the victory over Fordlham last We'd nesday. The boys have practiced daily in the cage and outdoors, and are certain to give a good account of themselves in the game today. There will be no admission charged to this game, all local fans being in- vited as guests of the teams.

BIC CROWD AT

 BRAVES BEATEN

New York, April 19.---Winning theft first two games of the year from the Giants was too much of a strain for the Braves, and they fell down by g to yesterday in their first game against the Dodgers in Brooklyn. A crowd of 24,0O0 Sunday baseball fans saw the clan of Robinson swat Dick Rudolph and Hugh NdcQuiHan for the victory. Ed Pfeffer was on the mound for the Dodgers, making his first ap- pearance in a league game this year.
 He was reached for three hits and a run in the fourth inning and three hits and another run in the seventh. The Braves last run came in the ninih because Boeckel, who singled with two out, was allowed to run wild to second and third and score on Les Mann's single. Under the new rules Boeckel does not get credit for stealing the two bases in the ninth, as no effort was made to stop him.
