According to those on the inside at New Haven, Captain Cupid Black of the football team came in for a lot of unjust criticism upon his recent interview about numbering players. It seems that Captain Black was not only misunderstood, but that he had no intention of starting a controversy upon this subject having troubles enough of his own ahead with Har- vard and Princeton and W. & J. still upon the Yale football schedule. ‘Why Golf Pro’s Bite Their Nails. “Say, you know that new stance vou taught me last week? Well, there's nothing in it for my style of play. I practiced it for nearly twenty cee any improvement at all. So guess I'll go back to the old way with both heels together.” Or, as Andrew Kirkaldy said to a young golfer who asked how to play a certain shot: “Ye practice it two ‘oors a day for ten yvears and then cnce in the while ye maun get it aboot richt.” Sammy White Comes Back. Sammy White is coming East again soon, for a visit, fii trip out of the “West since he beat Yale and Harvard single handed back in 1911. To show just how fragrant the memory of him i, Dean Mathey and other Prince- tonians are planning to give Sammy a big reception at the Princeton club on May 5. Princeton has not won a football game from Yale or Harvard since White went away, so it is only fitting that Nassau should not only give him a regal welcome, but also try and bold him for another stand against the Blue and Crimson next fall. Perfect Golf. Our worthy and esteemed golf opponent of a vanished summer, Colonel Bert Leston Taylor, calls at- tention to the fact that the only per- fect putt is the one that drops into the cup, whether it be from 2 feet or 30 feet away. Briefly, a 30-foot putt that runs up within an inch of the cup is not a perfect one. That is true. Attention might also be called to the fact that if perfect golf were played the putter would be an utterly vseless club. Theré would be no putting to be done where all ap- proach shots were holed. An Example. The best example of a perfectly played hole that we can recall de- veloped last spring at Greenwich. The leading man in the drama was Walter Hagen, who was playing in a four-ball match with Jerry Travers, Y¥red Herreshoff and Alex Smith. This hole, 28 We remember it, was the thirteenth. It was 440-yards long. }lagen drove 250 yards and then, using a mid-iron, holed his next shot for & 2, against a par of 5. That was perfect golf. Even a 3 would find the hole imperfectly played, though it would be 2 under var. Short Marches. The entry who hasto be drivenisa nroor bet in any sort of a pinch. There are also times when a wide detour is the shortest distance be- tween two point: If Fred Fulton fails to pan out as a proper opponent, Willard may be marooned With the circus for life, Fulton now is the sole entry loft with 2 chance to carry away the title of Giant Killer.

At the end of both bouts about the only thing I annihilated and dismantled was the faith of a lot of folks in Mike's power of prophecy. April last year was replete snow and rain. This year it has been replete with rain and snow. April would be a grand month for baseball if ball players were only ducks. Or even polar bears. The slight tech- nicality is all that mars April open- irgs. Captain Huston and Colonel Rup- pert spend $135,000 for new talent, sent most of it South February 22, 1 ard had said talent all rounded into fine condition. Then starting North, the $135,000 and more worth of talent was able to play something like four games in fourteen days, losing in ten days most of the good that was gained. We have a hunch there will be the vote of one club at least against another start. Babe Adams had his last big year back in 1913, when he won twenty- one games and lost ten. Judging from his 1915 start, Babe still has something left besides his glove. If Mamaux is what he looked to be last season, i Pirates last place may desire to par- take of another guess before August. OPENING GAMES SHOW TEAMS WELL MATCHED Cincinnati and Chicago White Spring Surprises in First Games of Big League. The rejuvenated teams of the Na- tional and American leagues began the 1916 season under favorable weather conditions. Although only three sched- uled games were played Friday, the start was sufficiently unhampered by the weather to permit the far throughout the country to get a good idea of the strength and defects their favorites. In both leagues the line-ups were sprinkled with names of former stars in the Federal league. Several teams, particularly the St. Louis anfl the C Federal players on their club rosters. The end of the first week found the Boston club leading in each league. Braves have played only two games and the Red Sox only three. Perhaps the greatest surprise of the short opening week was the strength dis- played by Cincinnati in the National and Chicago in the American league. Boston, although outhit by Brook- Iyn in the opening series, played flaw- lessly in the fleld. The Braves appear to be even stronger than they were last year. Brooklyn, with th 1915 team virtually intact, was unable to do much opportune pitching against the Boston pitchers and ended the week in last place. Cincinnati cap- tured the first series from the reor- ganized Cubs by three games to one, Clever pitching by Schneider, who a lowed only two hits, gave Herzog's men the victory Saturday Opening in the American league w-t- nessed two three-hit games. Groom of St. Louis held Cleveland to three hits and Coveleskie of Detroit did equally well with Chicago. Coveleskie further aided the Tigers to victory by making four hits himself. The veteran Fielder Jones apparently has succeeded In merging the 1915 Browns and his old Federal league team into a winning combination. Cleveland and Washington are stronger than last year with new men added to their ranks. Klepfer of Cleveland held St, Louis to three hits Saturday. The Tigers and the White appear every bit as strong, stronger than they did when the 1915 season ended. WESLEYAN ENTERS TEAM. Middletown College to Have Strong Team in IPenn. Games.
