Yale Invades
 Worcester Today

The Yale baseball team leaves for Worcester this morning for the return game with Holy Cross. The Ellis defeated the Crusaders on Yale field. 6-2, last Wednesday through the fine pitching of George Parker and some timely hitting. but a hafder game is expected to- day with Joe Mulligan in the box for Holy Cross. Coach Wood will use Dillingham; or Fitz in the box to-day it is expected, and may make a change in his batting or der. However. this change will not be made until just before the game if it does come. One or two places on the team are still unsettled the coach said last night and if strength can be added to the team by a shift in one or two positions, new players will be injected into Yale's lineup. To-day's game will be Yale's last ball game until a week from to-day when the Har- yard graduates team plays at Yale field. In fact no Yale team will be engaged in sport during the coming week as examinations will occupy the attention of most of the Eli athletes.

FINALS OF l. (. "A AT
 HARVARD TO-DAY
By FRANK MURPHY United Press Stan COrrcspOndcnt)

Cambridge. Mass, May 27.-(UP) The uprights and the crossbars
 and the nimble youths who top them with a run and jump and
 perhaps a boost from a bamboo
 pole are expected to provide some
 thrilling interludes in the finals of the I. c. IA track and tielG cham pionships at Harvard Stadium this afternoon.
 While Southern California strives to overtake powerful Stanford
 university aggregation that seems heading for team honors. the spec
 tacle-loving public will pay more interest to a capable set of pole vaulters and high jumpers from
 whom possible new altitude marks
 may come.
 The vault and high jump were
 not up from competition yester-
 day and that was one reason why there was certain lacklustre as-
 pectS to the. qualifying tests, in
 which. Stanford moved 15 men
 safely into the wind-up. against
 Southern California's IA, Harvard's s g, New York university's 2, Yale's
 5, etcctera. Furthermore, it was sultry day and though there were some
 crackerjack performers on hand, there were no .Wykoffs or Metcalfes or Tolans in the sprints, no Percy Boards or George Salings in the hurdles. and no Bill Carrs in the middle distance runs. Good old
 Ben Eastman did his best in the 800, but with still weak knee and the mugginess to contend aganist, he was lucky to eke. out a third place in his heat.
 The only possible bar to chalking up of some sort of record in the pole vault today appeared to be the weather, and sure enough Uncle Sani's paid forecasters went gloomy and predicted showers and perhaps thunderstorms for the Bay State. Bill Graber of Southern Califor- mia, defending champion and meet record -holder, some time before coming east was quoted as saying
 he hoped to do 14 feet inches. To spur him upward he will face such vaulters as Bill Miller of stanford. holder of the world rec ord of f4 feet 7-S inches. but not now in the best of shape: and Keith Brown of Yale. who has done 14

AGNES PEEVED AT
 NORTH END JUNIORS

Sports Editor: The Acme A. C.. would like to make 1t known how the North End Juniors claim the game. The Acmes claim 1t was only a practice game because Barney Shea postponed the game which was supposed to be a regu- lar American Legion league tilt on account of rain. How could team get only 15 outs in seven innings! The Acmes still claim 1t was only a practice game and that 1t was agreed upon before the game. The score was g to 3 and went but four innings and not seven as claimed by the North Ends. The Acmes made four hits and three runs. not one hit and one run as the North Finders put in the paper.-NicK OrSillo.

On the second diamond at 2 O. clock the undefeated Tommies will cross bats with the Sacred Hearts, strengthened by the recent acqui- sition of Razor" Doran, Everett Murphy. Joe Doyle and Hank La nilla.
 Speed" Conway, ace of the Win sted hurling corps. will probably make his debut with the Hills with Buckley of Meriden and Jack Stat teary in reserve. Joe Strokalait1s will be on the mound for the BAGS and If he gets a little cooperation from his mates in the form of base hits it wouldn't be surprising to see the Hills take it on the chin again. The Brooklyns have yet to score a run in 16 innings behind Strokaiaitis.
 Kielty, O'TooIe Released?
 News from our Waterville cor respondent has it that Ray O'Toole and .'Wim' Kielty have been handed their walking papers, but nothing definite to that effect has been announced as yet. Hank Ga gain, ST. will probably start George Blinn, the temperamental twirler who last week didn't feel like play ing because his spikes could not be found.
 Iattimer Leads In Hits
 lClayt Lattimer of the Thomas Club to date has the most base hits, five in Il trips. The complete and official batting averages of the nlavers to date follows:

 Indianapolis, Ind, May 27-(UP)
 The little car, not much larger than the thing you wheel Junior around in. whammed down the straight-away at better than 110- inst acrackling, snapping, roaring flash of red. For an instant 1t dis appeared into the depths of the curve. and then-y a h h h h h n h h h h h h h init screamed into the backstretch.
 Hes getting around in hur- ry." we said to the guy in overalls
 Yep" he said, mes going like he'll"
 Then it happened. Somebody made A mistake, something went wrong. The little red car turned sideways, and, with its tires sins- ing a symphony of distress, skit- tered broadside down the track. A second later 1t swung across the track, careened through the con- crete retaining wall, smacked head first through a wooden renee anu disappeared into the ditch that parallels the racing strip, carry ing a driver and mechanic along with 1t. Virgil Linengood, driver, and Laddy Erban, mechanic, es- capped injury.
 The little red car went haywire half an hour after we arrived in Indianapolis and served as our in- troduction to the speedway over which the classic 500-mile race will be run Tuesday. Knowing MT Steve Hannagan's ability as a press agent, we suspected that the crack up was mereiy part of the bal lyhoo, as was our arrest by three detectives as a fugitive from jus tice when we stepped off a New York plane.
 But it wasn't. It seems that blowing through concrete walls with your lap full of automobile is popular pastime in Indianap- oils. Like you and you, we couldn't figure out it's appeal. So We asked Mir flanagan. He didn't know. but suggested we ask one Spider Matlock.
 MT Matlock, it seems, is one of the most talented wall-smackers in automobile racing circles. It was the Spider, who, as Billy Arnold's mechanic in 1891, accompanied that young man in a high dive over the outer wall of the track at some- thing like 100 miles an hour. Spider discounts this accident be- cause he was in the hospital only two months. In 1892 Spider and Arnold went over in the same place. This time Spider travelled 250 yards in theair and wound up with compound fracture of the skull, which required more stitches than crazy quilt. Tuesday hell go again.
 So we asked Spider concerning racing's allure.
 "The answer is a simple one.' he replied.
 Guys who race are screwy. I'm screwy. and those other guys you see out there trying to qualify are screwy. Otherwise t hey wouldn't be risking their necks to get in a race to risk their necks some more The screwier you are the better driver and mechanic you make Look at me. In the last seven years I've spent three in the hos. pital."
 We told the Spider that a "screwy" guy couldn't drive a cal like that fellow in the little red car-that 1t took plenty of every. thing. including brains. to keep q runaway car right side up whilt going through a couple of fences
 "Huh." the Spider grunted You're giving the. wrong gu, credit. When a car going that fas goes into a skid it's old man Cab riel himself who eases over ana takes the wheel. Yes sirs old Gabe himself."

 Brown also is leading candi- date for high jump honors, having cleared 6 feet 1-8 inches in a re- cent meet. N. Y. us George Spits, who once cleared feet 8 1-2 inches indoors, is the other big fa- vorite in a field that boasts Bob Van Osdel of Southern California, co-winner a year ago and at least four others who have bettered s feet 2 inches this season.
 The best running event of the day was looked for at 400 meters, with Jimmy Luvalle, U. c. L. A., Karl Warner of Yale. and Edgar Ablowich of Southern California booked for a close finish.
 Stamford was certain to get of to a big head start in two. field events, the shot put and discus, in which it qualified four and three men respectively, yesterday. John c. Lyman and Gordon Dunn finish ed one-two for the Cardinals in the shot, and Henri Labor6e and Dunn were first and second to qualify in the discus. Conservative estimates give Stanford at least 20 points in these two events. wheh would be half enough to clinch the victory.

Cheshire, May 27 - Collegiate Prep s baseball team knocked three Roxbury pitchers all over the lot at Cheshire yesterday to win 27-5. The Blue and Gold hftters collect ed al safeties for. sixty-three bases This barrage coupled with eight Roxbury errors rolled up aseason's record for Coach Pfte's nine. Cap tain Sai1so and his mates gathered 6 doubles, 4 triples, and six homers while Hutton,s home run was Rox- bury's only extra base blow.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-05-27

Added interest has been gathered toward the game. because it is the first of the season between the two high school contingents, and will possibly produce a pitching duel of real merit with Frankie "Foots" Berardi on the mound for the Green and White and Ned Farley upholding the Crosby colors from the hill. Both boys have shown real pitching class this season, while their effectiveness is augmented by the fact that both of them can hit hard when they come to bat.
 Expenses
 A small admission charge of fif- teen cents has been made in order to aid the local schools in the con- duct of their baseball season, which is always a losing proposition for both of them, financially. Both teams have been singularly free from injuries, to date, as the coaches report their boys ready to take the field at full strength. Bill Stanton, veteran Waterbury base ball arbiter and Harold Hadley, who has come along nicely as an umpire, will work the contest.
