Lloyds- -CoLored
 Stars Play Sunday

Filled with confidence after the fine drubbing they passed out to the team of the American Steel & Wire Co.,, last Saturday, the Lloyds will take on the Elm City ColOred Giants at Tyler's lot on Sunday and expect to annex a victory without any trouble.
 The IlOyds have been strong cOntend- CTS for the city championship the past few years but got away to a poor start this year when they dropped the opening game of the season to the strong Hud- sons, but the way they pounded the old apple in the game last week has led the supporters of the team to believe that the boys have now hit their stride
 An unfortunate accident which re- rulted n a broken leg for La France robs the Mill team of one of the most dependable players. Before the accident happened La France had made home run and this with circuit clout by Farren of the same team were the fea- lures of the Wire teams play.
 Kocllc and Jerolman was the battery for the Lloyds at the start of the game, but were replaced in the third inning after the A. s. and w. team had piled up a lead of six runs. Dunn replaced koclle in the box and Scully went be- hind the plate and held their opponents sCorcless for the rest of the game
 Jerolman. with five safe blows, furnish ed the batting feature for the Lloyds and the game wound up with the final score, LlOyds 19, A. $. 6, w. 6.

COLUMBIA GIVES YALE DRUBBING
 ON HOUSATONIC

Columbia was the gem of the Housa- tonic Saturday. Coach Jim Rices var sity and junior eight rowed to two splendid victories over their Yale rivals, the senior boat winning in handy fash ion by more than two lengths and the junior crew finishing at least five lengths to the good.
 Both ale crews were completely out classcd, and it was apparent that the New Workers were never seriously ex- tended. The Columbia varsity took the lead in the first quarter-mile and grad ualy increased 1t, although 1t was never necessary for CoXSWain Brush to call for the raising of the stroke.
 Columbia covered the tWo-1nile course in 10 minutes 30 2-5 seconds
 Weather conditions could hardly have been worse for the big rowing duel, al though the surface of the Housatonic was smooth. Both races were rowed in a cold drizzle which drifted out of the northeast The rain did not appear to bother the rowing fans who swarmed into this town in droves.
 It was estimated that at least 10000 persons saw the two contests from both banks of the river, and from a long ob- servation train operated by the New Ha- ven road. The easy victory of the Co., lurnbia juniors was not a surprise to those who have been watching Rice's youngsters in their practice, although 1t was hardly expected that five boat lengths would separate the shells at the finish.

 Cornell CreUs
Sophomore Eight Recognized as the First Varsity on Fine
 Early Showing.

Ithaca, N. Y., May 6-Having won all of the trial races that have so far been held on Cayuga Lake, the 1923 Cor nell crew, or the sophomore crew, has won the right to be called the first var sity. It is so classified by Coach John HOyle, but COrnell's rowing mentor Is not ready to say that this first varsity crew will go to the starting line as the Cornell varsity.
 He says he will not designate the varsity crew for the Princeton-Ya ale Cornell race until about week before the regatta. Nevertheless it is a fair assumption that if the first varsity goes on beating the heavy varsity regularly it will represent Cornell against the Tigers, Ellis and Harvard
 Whether it will also row in the three mile varsity race at Poughkeepsie will depend on its own development and the development of the heavy varsity, which is also a good crew and has a lot of power.
 Brushes between the first two varsity and first two freshman eights are talk ing place on an average of twice week The first varsity has sometimes won by as much as two lengths, dis playing a powerful drive at the finish.
 Followers of rowing will recall that this crew, with one exception, bow oar, where Kels has replaced Hoffman, rowed as the Cornell freshman crew last season and gained much useful two-nile racing experience That fresh man crew beat the Princeton and Yale freshmen and the Harvard cubs, and then defeated Syracuse, Penn and Co., lumbia in the intercollegiate regatta. It was considered one of the best tWo-milc crews on the water last year.

'Strangler' Lewis
 to Defend Crown
Wrestling Champion to Meet zbyszko in Finish Bout
 Tonight.

Ed (Strangler- Lewis, heavyweight champion of the world at Catch-as-Catch- can wrestling, finished hard work at gymnasium putting on the final touches for the defense of his crown against Stanislaus Zbyszko tonight
 Ihecs two giants of the mat will meet at the 22nd Regiment Armory, 68th street, near Broadway, New York city, under the auspices of the Committee for Relief of the Sufferers in Ireland. It is to be battle to the finish with no hold, save the strangle hold barred
 ZbySzkO, at a mage far beyond that at which most athletes have passed the zenith of their vigor, is one of the most remarkable specimens of power and en- duranCe the sporting world has ever known. He is well beyond the 40 year mark, and after that time has effected the most astounding comeback known to the world of sport.
 Stanislaus Zbyszko has encountered only one defeat ill his long career as a grappler. On the occasion of his first visit to America some 10 years ago, he was pinned by the then invincible Frank Gotch, though every one who saw the advantage of the gigantic Pole, surprised
 
 shake hands and secured a fall by trick cry.
 Shortly after the somewhat crest fallen Zbyszko returned to Europe the World War broke out and the big Pole was held for three years war prisoner in Russia. When he came back to Amer ica about a year ago he weighed more than 300 pounds. But he set to work diligently in an effort to retrieve his for tunes. He worked himself up to "a match with Joe Stecher. former cham pion; and by throwing Stecher cinched a title match with Lewis.
 Zbyszko is an adept at practically every known hold, including the head lock, that stupefying killer" invented by Lewis, but his chief specialties are the toe hold and the wrist lock. He is determined to win, the more especially so as Lewis has announced that this will be his last professional appearance, regardless of the outcome.

CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY
 DEFEATED BY YALE

Yale and Catholic University hooked tip in a fast and exciting game at Yale Field, Wednesday, which the Ellis won in the ninth inning when Sloan, the first batter, sent a screaming tWO-bagger down just inside third base. Herman followed with sacrifice and Eddy came through with q single,
 In the opening frame Yale scored a run when Murphy, the first batter, led off with a single advanced on AldrlChs out and scored on Sloan's clean single.
 The visitors put forth their best eff forts i nthc second inning when singles by Mack, Dunn and Lynch produced one tally. A lightning throw by Peters when he caught Dunn off third base pre- vented further scoring and this play was the feature of the game.
 Jackson's pitching was Of the gilt edged order. He allowed only five safe hits, issued no passes and retired the Ellis in order for six innings.

Nick AltroCk in Class
 By Himself as Comedian
Ranks With Noted Celebrities of Stage as Fun Maker of Highest Rank.

Baseball has had many comedians, but none to compare with Nick Altrock, the clown Of the Washington American League club. The great outdoor sport has seen its Arlic Lathams, its Ger many SChaefers and myriad others flicker for d brief time on the coaching lines and then fade into oblivion. Their names are recalled, but their deeds will never be stamped so indelibly upon the brain of fandom as those of Altrock's when he, too, passes over the great divide.
 An eNtempOraneous fun-maker is AlCk. lie Se1Zes every chance to turn His antics into laugh producers, and all ways with an eye to the game itself Some maintain, and perhaps with req son, that the wonderful start made by George McBride's men this year Is not little due to the playful but at the same time enheartening spirit shown Dy Nick, both on the field and in those drcar1SO1ne JauntS about the circuit. -
 But It IS on the playing field that Nick IS most playful, and long before game time, wherever the Washington cam IS billed, host of fans IS waiting for the lovable clown.
 Nick displays the major part of his run wares during the practice sessions. At one moment he will appear at first oaSe1nan and will gather in throws rom his lnhelders from every angle, and always with one hand. He scorns to bellttle himself by using both hands; and he makes a speciality of taking a savage toss from deep short while seated on the initial bag
 Leaving first base, Nick next appears as chaser of high intield flies And here, too, he misses few, but many Is the laugh at the novel way i'll winch he makes his catches
 Perhaps one of the most popular stunts of Nick is his imitation of the various pastures assumed by the urn- pres. Connolly IS the one umpire who its in best with Nick's "Nickromasks." livery move of Connolly behind the plate or at first base or back Of pitch CT Is duplicated perfectly by Nick. amid the merriment of the stands.
 No one can describe the doings of Nick on the ball field. It Is necessary to watch him, for, as hinted before, the program of each day varies according to the opportunities afforded
 But Nick was not always the clown. He was a member Of that famous hit less White Sox team which captured pennant and was the real hero of the world series that resulted in the over throw of the rival Cubs from the same Chicago town.
 Charles COmiskey said he would never part with Nick in that long ago, but he did, and Clark Griffith nabbed him. The clown seems destined to retain major league berth as long as he can stand on his feet, or even fall down. He can do either with equal acclaim from the fans.
 Long live old Nick!

Jersey City Ministers
 Protest the Big Fight
Reform Element Raises Cry That Dempsey-C Carpenter M a t h Will Corrupt Morale of State.

As was to be expected the reform element of Jersey City has set up a hue and cry against the proposed heavy weight championship battle between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpenter Ill that city on Saturday, July 2, next. How far the movement will carry is problemati cal It is not believed by those close to the situation that anything more seri- ous than a tempest in teapot will eVentuatc.
 The move is purely a church protest which has characterized every boxing match of pretention since the manly art was first fostercd. It is being handled by a committee of clergymen of the Mems Community Club, of Jersey City, composed of the Rev. William F. Hart, pastor of the First Reformed church ;; the Rev. Alfred J, SadIer, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, and the Rev Harry w. Noble, pastor of the Lafayette Reformed church.
 The committee of clergymen in its protest called attention to the fact that six deaths had resulted i'll the state of New Jersey under the Hurley law. which legalizcS bOXing-three in Jersey City and characterized the Dempsey Carpen- tier match as a "prizefight brutalizing i'll character and coarseness in influence"
 This fight the protest continued "would undoubtedly put Jersey City on the map along with other notorious re- sorts in the United States.
 New Jersey is one of the few remain ing states where such contests are per mitted. The moral standards of the majority of our state revolt against such exhibitions, and will not tolerate them. As for the money to be gained, we re- pudiate the suggestion that Jersey City would sell her good name for price"
 Mayor Hague declared late yesterday afternoon that he had not received the protest, and would not comment on 1t at this time i'll any event. In view of the fact that the mayor, Governor Ed wards and the Chamber of Commerce are all known to have used every official influence to attract the richest plum of ring history, those close to the situation declare the protest at this late date can have no other effect than good advcr tISlnO

Sport Notes


 The boxing commission of Cleveland, Ohio, has asked New York to furnish a complete record of the engagements in which Freddy Jacks, the English feath- erWelght, has taken part since he landed i'll this country. This action was taken as a result of rulnOrs that Jacks as an opponent for Johnny Kilbane, the feath- erWeight champion, would prove to be an unsatisfactory boxing exhibition. The bout was scheduled to take place on May %, but is held up pending word from the big city.
 Evidently they believe in giving the tans q run for their money out in Cleve- land and it wouldn't be a bad stunt to have the local boxing commission copy the idea and in that way do away with the le;;ons which are continually being forced on the local fans.
 The Blue Birds won again last week i'll game in which the batting of John ny Richter was feature. With the bases loaded Johnny came to bat and cleaned the bases with third bagger. The Blue Birds are ready to play any lO-year-old team i'll the city, especially Joe McMahon's team.
 John McMahon, the mainstay of the Tiger team behind the bat, has been shifted to first base by the manager of the team who is sure that the youngster will develop into a real star as a guar dian of the initial sack
 
 Tentative plans for a Public Service league have been made and 1t is planned to have teams from the postofice, fire men, trolleymen, city hall, local banks and neWspapermen. So far the police have not been asked to join but whether it is due to the reputation Which some of the police have as wieders of wicked club or just an oversight we are unable to say. The men from the pOstoffiCe are planning to get away to an early start in the race and have been putting in a few hours a week at the Yale cage until the grounds are in a fit condition for outside work.
 The Partners haven't scored a run this year yet but as the season has only just started there IS good chance that before the season Is over they will be able to make dent in the run sOlumn.

BLUE TRACK TEAM MAKE STRONG BID
 FOR BIC MATCHES
Intercollegiate, to Start Tomor- row, Expected to Oesult in
 New Haven Team Win.

Yale has the brightest outlook in years for capturing its dual track meets and even for finishing high i'll the intercol- lcgiatcs, which will be held the coming three weeks, beginning with the Prince ton games at TigcrtOWn, tomorrow. Ialc's team IS uniformly sound and strong and it contains three stars who ..". >,>u take iirats i'll the intcrcollcgi- atcs
 These are Dick Landon, who has been covering feet 2 inches in the high jump; Tom Campbell. the middle distance Olympic cahmpion, who has either the half-1nile or the mile at his mercy and who Is the worlds champion i'll the 000-yards event, and F. B. CoWles, who has been leaping more than B feet in the broad jump in practice.
 Their showing has made Yale ia vOrlte i'll the games at Princeton by 8 to 10 points, in the Harvard dual meet here the following Saturday by fully a dozen points and lively runner up for the intercollegiate title.
 Coming down to the bone and sineW of the team, the minor point winners, ! ale has two 10 second men in Walter Schleter and Sam Fcldman in the sprints, and Hench Coxe and R. c. Page have been clipping 50 seconds in the quarter mile Captain Harvey Read is recovering from winters slump in the half-mile, although he and Eddie Sic mems have bettercd two seconds in their trials all the spring
 It is not certain whether Campbell will specialize in the half or the mile and there is a possibility that he will run both. He has been running the longer event this spring. His team mate, Tommy O'Brien has bettered minutes 25 seconds for the mile. 2Ted Hilles and c. B. Rich, Ya1e's cross-country stars, have run the two- mile event close to 10 minutes Yale has a fleet troi of hurdlers in Bob She'd den, TrottOn Heffelfnger and E. F. O'Brien.
 In the field events Yale should score irsts with LandOn and CoWes. but at least one specialist has developed for every event. T. P Gardner's pole vault ing has been close to Gale's best marks
 Iale's football stars have turned out for the weight throwing competition, Phil Cruikslank and John Acosta heav- ing the hammer the past week for 135 to 40 feet.
 In the shot toss Ralph Jordan and Charley Storrs have been creating marks of about II feet.

 At first I was under the impress sion that our right field would be just the same length as at the Polo grounds. I believe I may have been even quoted to that effect. However

Yale to Write New Chapter in History
 of Water Sports
Tour of United States by New Haven Mermen an Innova-
 tion in Athletics.

The summer tour planned by alc'S great swimming team, intercollegiate champions of 1921, will write new page in the history of American water sports. Never before has a college squad con- templated trip of such magnitude, in cluding engagements throughout the United States and in Honolulu. Until this season our leading athletic organ izations hardly considered college swim ming teams in their class. If a dual meet was arranged the outcome seemed a fOregOne conclusion. But the recent performances of the Eli stars have caused sudden awakening to the won dcrful progress made by the student Watermen. It is realized generally now that lale's splendid aggregation of swimmers, plungers and fancy divers will prove a danerous rival to any club team in the world.
 Beginning with sprint swimming we find Edwin Binney, the Yale star, cred ited with the intercollegiate record of g 4-5 seconds for 50 yards; Leeming Jelitfe with 100-vard swim in 55 4-5 seconds. and Charles D. Pratt with mark of two minutes 28 2-5 seconds for 22O yards. As against these figures, re- turned officially by the Wearers of the Blue, one notes that the national open championships at the distances were won in 25 seconds, 58 2-5 seconds and two minutes 27 Is seconds.
 Moreover, the Yale sprinters, shat tered three worlds records for relay swimming. They lowered the time for 200 yards by 1 2-5 seconds to 1 minute 38 2-5 seconds, for 25O yards by 2-5 seconds to , minutes 6 seconds, for 800 feet by 6 IS seconds to minutes 2 seconds.
 In fancy diving the intercollegiate championship went to ]. K. Pollard, also of Yale. The intercollegiate plung- ing crown was lifted by still another Yale man, Richard Meagher, who has glided the length of a 75-foot pool in 10 seconds, a record feat,
 According to the program outlined, the events which will be featured at all the proposed dual meets are the Eastern college Classics-5O, 100 and 22O yard sWims, fancy diving plunge and relay racc-so 1t will be seen that Yale has worthy candidates to pit against the country's best ill each contest.
 In addition to the stars named already Thurst6n. the team captain Robert Sollcy and Harry Marshall. Thurston won the intercollegiate 1OO-yard cham pionship in 56 2-5 seconds. He and Solley are members of the iconoclastic relay group; Marshall is a crack all- around swimmer, especially fast at the furlOng
 If plans matcrializc the Eli Watermen will set out from New Haven in June and make tchir first appearance in New York city against the Mercury Foot team or possibly an all-star New York combination.
