Smashing an Alibi. Somg¢ years ago Harry Vardon bor- rowed an old rusty putter und won & championship by using it. At Essex County, Oswald Kirkby borrowed a strange set of clubs and won the low gross. At Fox Hills recently Eddie Van Vleeck did the same thing. It is painful business, but we.intro- duce these snatches of evidence to throttle the ancient alibi of the player who, visiting a strange K course and renting a set of clubs, launches the excuse that he isn’t playing with his own implements: For, as the Sage of Sponflom might observe, a. good shot goes far better from a poor club than a bad shot goes from a good one, About Pittsburg. One doesn’'t hear =6 much about Pittsburg these days in any peéennpant .discussion, but for all that, Fred Clarke is still meandering along, achiqving sufficient results to hold a warm, dry place in the first division above both Giants and Braves. The Pirates, who last season looked te be one of the worst all clubs in the land, have been moving at an even, ¢asy clip most of the way, without ony particular flurries in either direc- ‘tion. They lead their league in flelding and rank last in batting, with a supply of steady, if mot brilliant, pitching, From what he had to work with after last season's smash-up,, d Clarke. has shown again that innate ability can only be held in cheeck for a brieft period—that class, crushed to earth— will rise again. - Sounds Liké a Good Come-back. 4 Sir: " They say the sirength of this|.

There May Be Something in This, Too. Dear Sir: While Yale is more or less cheerfully willing to admit that Harvard had the best of it this past geason in a majority or competitive tests/ there is also this to be con- sidered in the way of future cheer— Tale's freshman class outclassed Har- vard's freshmen contingent in every sport—football, baseball and rowing. "Yale here proved that this material, eligible for next year, was far beyond that of her rival. From now out the sky that has been Crismon so long will get back its natural Blue tint again. L. K. “While Yale was beaten in the first two Harvard games,” writes, Stuffy, ‘“you've got to admit that she had her own Way in' the third.” Such Is the Dope. A discussion started among various star batsmen this last winter as to the best left-hander in tne American league, brought out tne point that most of them feared Ray Collins, of the Red Sox,.above all others. Yet the late June recora shows Col. Colling with one lone victory through a three-months’ span. He¢ May Have Done Pretty Well. Sir: I notice in the papers that little golf since last October—that he had played few rounds up to June and hadn’'t even practised much. 1t the fellow had only been able -to have gotten ‘in a few games or so, he might bave had a pretty fair record this last month, don’t you think? NIBLICK., \ Far From Fresh. Say W. J. B. doesn’t booze— Say war brings on fatigue; But our idea of little news 1s this—*“Cobb leads the league.” Why s it that most or at least so many golf ball manufacturers pro- duge a ball that is nearly perfect until the public rushes to buy, after which said ball soon gets to be about three worse than punk? In the meanwhile, what has become of al that merry spoofing that once greeted the English stroke in this part of the world? As we were vnce given tc understand it, the Emglish stroke was the last and only stop on the other iside of Nowhere.' But Yale appears ‘tc be fairly well satisfied that there ‘might be something in after all. this stroke 1 ‘With Yolmx, Bush and Vitt all bat- ting below .200 on her infield, Detroit reeds all the base hits Cobb and Craw- ford can produce. The Tiger infield is streng enough defensively but the weakest there is at pounding in the precious tally. 3y .“They may kid Wray around Bos- ton,” writes Plato Pete; “but no one who comes to New Haven can ever Guy Nickalls,”’ DUG SMITH BEATS DEL'S SENATORS Pitchis Bnlhant Game and.

San Franeisco, June 29.—News that the Stanford eight had taken Je- cond place in “the 'Varsity race at Poughkeepsie yesterday ‘was ‘tele- graphed in the evening, to thousands of Stanford men at vacation resorts in the West, &nd scores of impromptn celebrations sprang up in the moun- tains and at the seashore. Hardly any Stanford men were in town. All reports from the East as to the Stanford showing had been thorough- ly depressing. Pity and contempt mingled in advance stories of the créw Wwhich was said to be an un- trained, water-splashing affair, with a stroke which became worse as it quickened until at high speed it was no good at all. Odds against Stan- ford were 10 to 1 here yesterday. BROOKFEDS BUY FRANK SMITH.

The New Britain soccer foptball club has been declared champions of the northern section of the Connecti- cut State Football league, as a result of the decision handed down by the committee of appeals of the United States Football association. The Con- necticut State Football league deduct- ed two points from New Britain's standing because' of alleged irregu- larity in the playing of C. E. Stewart, but the national ‘association upheld New Britain’s appeal and, therefore, they have been declared champions. HOWARD OUT FOR MONTH. Chicago, June 29.—Ivan Howard, first baseman of the St. Louis Ameri- cans, who was spiked by Weaver in yesterday's game here, was found to be so seriously injured that it was de- cidéd to sénd him back to St. Louis.
