PENN TEAM LEADS
 COLLEGE LEAGUE
Interest Centers on New Haven
 and Game Next Saturday

New York, April q Pl-With Pennsylvania holding the lead in the Eastern Intercollegiate baseball leaguc on a record of one victory and no defeats, league interest for the coming week centers in the Sat urday clash at New Haven, where tho Red and Blue will attempt to strengthen it's position with a vic tory over Yale. The Ellis meet tn : ell-balanccd Pennsylvania team with a hard-hittins squad which has been sailing ruthlcssly through non- league opposition following an even break in championship games against Columbia and Dartmouth.
 Pennsylvania is leading today be- cause of Columbia's defeat in Ithaca last Saturday by a score of to ?. Andy Coakley tried Bill Wilkens, hero of a Columbia victory over Harvard a week ago, on the firing line against Cornell, and the cx- pertinent was great success for the big Red team.
 Eckley's boys got to Wilkens for two unearned runs on two passes, d wild throw by Balquist and a single by Blnn Cushman in the first in ming, Cushman's hit being inserted after the side should have been re- tired. The young Columbian com- pleted his own downfall in the sec ond. when two singles and three passes were so grouped that three honest runs resulted and Fred Lan- dau rushed to the box in a rescue role.
 Landau held the Ithacans to four harmless hits and one unearncd run through the rest of the game, but 1 the highly regarded Columbia at tack was unable to get going against Miles Stevens or Carlton Boes. Co., i lumbia picked up a run in the open CT, and drove Stevens from the mound in the third when he showed signs of wildness. but Boie5 stife the threat, and incidentally picked up credit for the victory as Stev- ! requisite four innings.
 The defeat by Cornell reduces Co., lumbia's s pennant hope considerably and makes it necessary for the light blue and white to win from Dart mouth here next Saturday to re- main in the immediate running In this game the Green will be mak ing determined effort to break into the games won column following its initial reverse at New Haven las: week. Defeating Tosreau's boys will not be the easiest task asked of Co., lumbia in the run of the league campaign.
 Following Pennsylvania in tn, stapdipg, Columbia, Cornell and Yale are tied for second place. each with one victory and one defeat Next comes Dartmouth, halted in it's one league game, with Princeton in last place, yet untested by q league foe.
 Outside the league circle, George town continues to do well, a threa; against the perennial champion Holy Cross. The Hilltoppers have only one game against the Crusad- 1 CTS this year, due to the fact that Holy Cross is making no real south ern trip. Jack Barry's charges open cd their campaign only yesterday when Brown was defeated by to c as Sims allowed three hits. Ford ham defeated Boston College by : to to gain temporary jump on the field in the Catholic college league.
 Syracuse seems to have d tean, which will be hard to beat in the | Syracuse -Colgate-Penn State cham. pionship series. Capt. Ben Baisley held Columbia to five hits on Fri. day to win by ? to 0, and himself drove in the winning margin with a double in the second inning.
