YALE SNATCHES TRACK LAURELS
 AS RECORDS GO
Defeats Princeton by Narrow Margin ill Some Very Ex-
 citing Matches

In the annual dual meet held at Palmer Stadium Princeton, Saturday, \ ale snatched from Princeton this years track laurels by score of 56 to 48 It was fought nip and tuck from start to finish and not until Fedman, of Yale, flashed across the line in the last event was the final victor decided.
 A hot sun made the day ideal for the contest and showed the contestants i'll true form, as IS attested by the fact that five former meet records were broken
 In the mile Yale ran away with the event when Tom Campbell, running true to expectation, covered the distance in the record breaking time of 4 minutes 25 Is seconds, closely followed by his team mates. Reed and Vanderpyle. McCu1- lough Orange and Black captain, seemed at a disadvantage throughout the entire race and was tagging behind at the finish
 Stevenson furnished the sensation of the meet when he set a new dual meet record i'll the quarter-mile establishing mark of 48 4-5 seconds, leading Cox, the Yale representative, by several yards
 Halsey, Orange and Black representa- tive at Oxford last year. easily broke the former record by hurling the shot 40 feet and 7-8 inches. Feldnan, of Yale, led Lourie, the Orange and Black sensation, III the finals Ot the lUO-yard run, beating him less than a yard. With marvellous demonstration of his famed ability, Lan- don, of the Blue, cleared the high jump bar with height of feet } inches to his credit.
 Although Tom Campbell had taken a first in the mile, he captured another event by winning the 88O. The only Princeton man to place was Conover, who sprinted to the tape with a marvellous burst of speed
 Lourie, participating in his third event. captured first place i'll the broad jump with B feet IA inches, displaying re- markable form, while Cowles, of Yale, had to be content with second. As was anticipated, the Blue ran off with all three places in the pole vault, Gardner beating his teammates, Hodges and Brown, when he scared to a height of F feet 9 3-4 inches.
 At this point of the meet the victor was still uncertain, but when Fe1dman con- cluded the meet by running the 22O in g seconds, the honors fell to Yale by mar gin of eight points.

Jimmy Wilde the first knockout he had ever taken. Returning, Herman start ed tipping over opponents.
 It is said Herman cannot see out of one of his eyes.
 But none of the boxers he fights have been able to locate his good eye and work on it.
 Fans are rallying back to the side of the little Italian They like him be- cause he is trying his best to knock out all his opponents.
 Lynch, on the other hand, is boxing his own.
 Young Montreal won out of 10 rounds in a mix with Lynch in Cleve- land few nights ago. But Lynch's title was safeguarded by the no-deci- sion attachment.
 Dope on the bantams is pretty we'll mixed up just now. There's a whole flock of them-Joe Burman, Carl Ire maine, Young Montreal, Jack Wolfe and Pete HeFman-au on the same level with Lynch practically.
 If Herman continues his knockout system of elimination he'll be matched with Lynch again this summer. Lynch has promised to give him a crack at the title soon.
 Fans who have seen Herman in ac- tion recently believe he has a good chance to cop his lost laurels.

No matter how hard the King tugged, the little ex-bantamweight re- fused to budge from the floor in the pri- vate apartment of the King i'll the sum- mer palace here, to which Coulon had been summoned as guest of Albert and Queen Elizabeth.
 When the King had given up tugging at the former pugilist as too much of a Charles, Count Guy d'Ouitremont and Lieut. Coffinet, the Kings aide-de-camp, took turns ln trying to accomplish the task that has baffled the strongest athletes of Europe, with the usual results.
 Queen Elizabeth questioned Coulon as to his means of resistance, and he gave her all the information he could Coulon remained with his royal hosts for about two hours. The King shook hands with him as he was ready to go and presented him with a diamond and ruby stickpirl bearing in relief the design of the Bel gian crown.
 Il had always heard Kings and Queens were hard to know" Coulon said after the visit, but 1 found these two demo- cratic, and they put me at ease as if I had known them all my life King AL bert is great man." he added srnilingly, ''even If he didn't lift me"

Harvard to Send Strongest Team to Yale Tomorrow

 Athletes to Help Win

Harvard will send a fighting team here tomorrow i'll an effort to retrieve the Cr1msOnS fortunes i'll track against Yale. The case Is not hopeless by an means, and the Harvard team will throw its strongest resources into the battle.
 Coach Bingham plans to double his men i'll many events Ned Bourdin, the negro all-around performer, is down to sprint, jump and shot put. He will run the century and furlOng and do the his points are needed in the latter event
 Gourdin is the marvel of the Harvard team. At Penn State he ran the 100 in |9 4-5 seconds He can do the *2O in g flat, can broad jump almost 24 feet, high jump , feet 8 inches, and can put the shot 40 feet. At the Penn relays Gour- din did "A feet 8 inches, and IS positive that his jump was a legal one. He argued it out in gentlemanly fashion, but to no avail. The judges did not detect foul but some other official connected with the meet did, so the mark was not allowed
 George Grogness will be used i'll both hurdles and high and broad jumps He IS O-seCond man over the high sticks and can do more than 6 feet in the run ming high jump.
 Charley Wansker will try the dashes, broad jump and hurdles. Vine Chapin will run the 100 and 22O. Fiske Brown and Jim Tolbert, the football players, Twill throw the hammer and shot. It IS not at all certain that Captain O'Connell will be confined to one event. He will probably try the tWo-mile or take chance against Iale's fleet band of half-milers.

The Birmingham baseball club is be- ing boycotted by organized labor Ill the eight cities of the Southern League and a material falling off in gate receipts is re- corded wherever the club plays
 The president and principal owner ot the club Dick" Woodward, a Birrning- ham millionaire, played the role of a strikebreaker on the Atlanta, Bir1ning- ham X Atlantic Railroad, which ac- counts for the attitude of organized la bor The central labor bodies and af- fliated unions of the Southern League cities have adopted resolutions to re- main away from all games in which the Birmingham team appears, and this de- cision is being religiously observed.

Moran Will Meet 1 Georges in London
Heavyweight Matched to Fight Challenger in August or
 September.

Frank Moran. "Blaster of Champions, ;" has returned to New York from abroad The Pittsburgh heavyweight appeared to be in the best of condition.
 Well, here I am," said Frank, after he had finished with the Customs In- spectors, ready for all corners, and let's hope they come rapidly. Mo- I'm not go- ing to hound either Dempsey or Carpen- tier, when the latter gets here, for a match. As a matter of fact, 1 am already matched to fight Carpenter in London in August or September. The match will be promoted by Major Wilson.
 The Englishmen treated me pretty we'll on the whole. They took the atti- tude that 1 ought to get a. chance with Carpenter because 1 had beaten their heavyweight champion. You know, Car pentier challenged me in the ring just be- fore my fight with Beckett. In doing so, he sort of put his foot in it, as it were.
 ''I let him off for while when the date for the Dempsey bout was set fof July 2. We thought it might be held i'll September. However, Georges will get his crack at Dempsey, after which he has agreed to meet me in London, whether he wins, loses or draws"
 Frank put up at the Astor Hotel.

CUNBOAT SMITH INSISTS DEMPSEY
 WILL WIN FIGHT
Carpenter Nearly Beaten Before He Begins Declares Former
 Heavyweight

Edward J. "Gunboat' Smith, the man who predicted Jack Dempsey's swift vic tory over the towering Jess Willard back in 1919. has come out with the announce ment that the American will retain the worlds heavyweight championship by re- pulslng the efforts of the Frenchnan, Georges Carpenter, to bring the title back to France.
 The gunner was at one time one of the leading heavyweights of the world and, while actively engaged inside the ropes, met both Dempsey and Carpenter, losing to the present champion twice, once on points and once by a knockout, and be- ing disqualified for questionable foul in his bout with the Frenchman.
 II can see nothing but Jack Dempsey putting Georges Carpenter away in from one to six rounds" said Smith recently in an interview with the Eagle of Brooklyn.
 The American has youth and the poundage in his favor What is more, he will climb through the ropes much stronger physically than Carpenter. One thing I will say in Carpenters favor, he has the strongest straight-arm punch 1 ming and exceptionally tricky. Dempsey
  are in the ring.
 "Carpentier's method of ducking is de- ceiving to say the least. He ducks and swavs from the hips down. In this re- spect he is different from the average boxer, who ducks with his head. When he goes down, he almost sits on the can vas and that Is the time to beware of him. He bounces up again like a rubber ball with that straight-arm punch ready for delivery. If he ever connects, Demp- sey will know he has been hit"
 That Jack Dempsey is glutton for punishment is another point brought out in Smiths prediction.
 Smith said that he had met better men in the ring that Carpenter and he ad vances the argument that any man who has been out of the ring for practically five years and who has gone through the ordeals that Carpenter has will not be able to reappear at his best.
 Il will not say that Carpenter IS beat en before he starts" continues "GunbOat," but he Is mighty close to 1t. The Beckett and Levinslly bouts are the most import ant he has fought since his comeback. Neither proved a real formidable oppon- ent and neither subj jected him to rough usage to bring to the surface his true phy sical condition. When we clashed l was at my best and 1 honestly believe 1 would have eventually knocked him out. The moving pictures of my bout with Carpen- tier show that 1 missed him by a foot while he was down.

Anderson, the New Haven boy, who is striving to win place on the Pittsfe1d pitching staff, is the lad who turned in no-hit game against Hartford High several years ago when he tWlrled for the | New Haven High School Joe Smith op- posed him in that memorable atfray. Leo Flynn has been offered $15,O00 for l Bill Brennan to box Frank Moran at l cept the offer. Brennan had his tonslls removed several days ago. Johnny Dundee is another who takes advantage of a newspaper decision. A Hartford promoter tried to talk with him 1 regarding a match for that city, but since beating Rocky Kansas, the Scotch WOp. is asking for a guarantee of $5 OOO with privilege of 5 per cent.
 
 Dave Keefe, who has been tardy in reaching the form that he displayed last season when Connie Mack heralded him as one of his most promising pitchers IS coming around so we'll that he may soon . be taking his regular turn in the box. Willie Beecher, the veteran lightweight who has boxed in nearly every city in the United States, said after being knocked out by Phil Bloom recently in Brooklyn that he was through with the game for all time Charley Beecher will endeavor to keep the family name in the spotlight III the future.
 Sailor" Cunningham was training for his clash with Joe Currie, the New Haven boy, which comes Saturday night at the Grand Theater on the Liberty Athletic Club card and he packs mean wa1lop. Sailor is being managed by Marty Brornbe, who is one of Sammy's advisers while in the ring and he looked like boy who might be able to stop Currie's list of victories. He IS sturdily built leather pusher and Is confident that he will whip the New Havener
 Bobby Stow, old Bridgeport short stop, has failed to live up to expectations with the Atlanta Southern League club. 1 He is batting in poor form, being listed below the 200 division.
