As the match, was for only 250 points Schaefer never got a chance to get started, and Hoppe The story from San Francisco credited Hoppe with a new world’s record, but that is erroneous.

Two teams from the Unfted Elec- tric Light and Water company, the Office force and the Meter room, bowled a match game on the Aetna alleys .last evening, without any chances of some of the records of local bowlers becoming endangered. The excellent eye training secured by the meter room boys in figuring up the bills of what the public is indebt- ed to the company, stood them well, and as a result the pen wielders were forced to succumb to a three time de- feat. Smith of the victors was high single score man of the match with 103, while Sage his teammate bowled the most consistent game, annexing a total score of 281.

YALE FIVE WINS Syracuse Is Beaten on Home Court by Sons of Eli After Six Years of Un- conquered Regime. Syracuse, Jan. 5.—Yale defeated the Syracuse university basketball five in the Archbold gymnasium here last night, by a score of 30 to 20. This was the first defeat for a Syracuse quintet in more than five years on the home court. Kinney, Yale's clever forward, was the star of the game, scoring sixteen of the thirty points made by his team. At half time Yale led by 14 to 11. Syracuse was the first to tally, but the Yale athletes soon broke into the scoring column and took the lead, which they held through the remain- der of the game. Yale's pass work and defense were too much for Syra; cuse, Charley Taft's men completely outplaying the Orange. Coach Dol- lard made several changes in the sec- ond half in an ineffectual attempt to stave off defeat. RACING LAWS DRAFTED. Columbus, Ohio, Jan. b5.—Rough drafts of a code of racing laws for tracks affiliated with both the Na- tional and American Trotting asso- clations were accepted last night by the joint rules committee of the two governing organizations. One of the principal new provisions is that the rules shall be mandatory and not subject to any alteration whatsoever by officlals of an individual racing concern. JAKE TO CALIFORNIA. Merwin Jacobson, a member of the Chicago Cubs has been notified by the management to report training camp in Pasadena, Cal, in February. He had originafly intend- ed to go to Cuba. We Are Catering to Afternoon Bowlin Pin Men Always on Han AETNA ALLEYS, Church Street at the || STAR ATHLETES Capitalizing Sport Fame New York, Jan. 5.—While the Ama- teur Athletjc Union has taken no action to enforce the regulation against the capitalization of athletic fame, which it last winter incorporat- ed into its rules on amateurism, it was learned yesterday that the officials of the governing body were getting ready to proceed against several ath- letes of more than ordinary promin- ence. The names of Platt Adams of the -| New York Athletic club and Eiward L. Emes of the Bronx Church House, both experts in the standing high Jump, were mentioned as the leading Jperformers who may come under the 'ban of the Amateur Athletic Union. It is declared by certain men in the gouncils of the A. A. W. that Adams, who sells sporting goods in Newark. comes under the “capitalization of athletic fame” clause and is not elig- igle for competition as an amateur. Likewise they hald that Emes, who sells medals and other jewelry given as prizes in athletic events, is also violating the rules. dmes is asso- ciated in business with Harry Smith of the Bronx Church House, who, with Abel Kiviat, was declared a profes- sional two years ago. Emes Sonds in Entry, Some time ago an officlal of the Irish American Athletic club was r~- quested by the A. A. U. headquarters here to notify Fred Rubien if the club received the entries of Adams. and Emes for its annual indoor gzames. Thus far Adams has not entered. but yvesterday Emes sent in his entry blank for the standing high jump. Notice thereof, accompanied by Emes’ signed’ entry blank, will be sent to Rublen today. It is expected {that an immediate investigation into his' case will be made. Emes is cer- tain to make a strong fight against disqualification. Under the rnles “capitalization of athletic fame' |is not an offence for which an athlete may be declared a professional. It was said by New York A. C. ath- letes . yegterday that Adams has' for some time been expecting the light- | ning to strike. He will have a much harder task than Emes if he chooses to oppose qn& possible action by the ACA U A Stmilarity of Cases. The cases of Adams and Fmes are similar to those of Maur‘ce 13. Mc- Loughlin, Billy Johnston, Johnny Strachan and Tom Bundy, who will be disqualified by the United States Na- tional Lawn Tennis association if pro- posed legiglation is approved at the meeting here on February 9. The ath- letes’ cases are also similar to those of Francis' Ouimet and the other Massachusetts golfers who came un- der the ban of the United Stutes Golf association and who now seek rein- statement. There seems to be a concerted move- ment among amateur sport bodies in this country to enforce legislation which aims for the most rigid ama- teurism and to pass new rules to fur- ther that end. An attempt was made not so long ago in certain quarters to put Ted Meredith 6f Pennsylvania ion the carpet for issuing a newspaper MAY BE SUSPENDED Adams and Emes Said to Be| article under his signature. Some con- tend that Meredith’'s athletic fame alone was responsible for the use of his_urticle. Certain it is that once the A. A. (. gets started on the work of erforcing the “athletic fame’ clause many nore athletes will find themselves under in- vestigation. Adams has been on trial before on the charge that he had sold prizes, but he cleared himself with little trouble. Adams 18 the Olympic standing high jump champion and has won nineteen national titles, indoors ad outdoors. Emes is one of the best standing high and broad jumpers in the country. BILL SAYS, “NO” Carrigan Tells New Red Sox Owners He Is Through as Manager—\Will Help Team if Needed. Boston, Jan. 5.—William Carrigan, on the fence on the Red Sox mana- gerial question since the last world's geries, had returned another “No” to Messrs. Frazee and Ward. It is not, however, as emphatic a “No,” as man- agers who have really * quit: usually return. \ As we understand it, Carrigan has sald all along he had no salary dir- ferences with the new owners of the world’s champions. They offered him pretty much the earth to return. Car- rigan was supposed to have stepped down because of family ties and busi- ness interest in Lewiston, Me, | Yet, in the same breath, if the re- | ports from Lewiston are to be believed, Carrigan now offers Frazee and Ward as much of his time next season as they desire. He is willing to give three or four months to advise the new manager, frame the policy, and sa on. Now, Carrigan has been ‘in baseball too long not to know that too many cooks spoil the broth. An ex- manager hanging around as a board of strategy would be neither compli- mentary nor helpful to the new leader. Baseball is a game of cut or carry. Carrigan’s announced retirement means absolutely nothing. It may mean that he will take no active part in next season's games, but he would not be the first bench manager. Yes- terday’s answer from Lewiston means nothing more than that Carrigan will direct the Red Sox from the bench in 1917, The reason? There is nobody in baseball so badly in need of a man- ager's job that he would consent to play second fiddle, even with a world's champlon of. two successive years. NO TIGER-WOLVERINE GAME. Priuceton and Michigan Unable Arrange Football Contest. Ann Arbor, Mich., Jan. 5.-—Prince- ton has refused a home-and-home football agreement with Michigan to begin next fall after two months of negotiations' between the athletic of- ficlals of the two institutions. The Tigers offered Michigan a game at Princeton in 1917, but the refusal of the Easterners to sign a contract for a return game at Ann Arbor the fol- lowing season resulted in the drop- ping of negotiations. Michigan found the one-game con- tract with Eastern schools unsatis- factory three years ago, when Har- vard refused the Wolverines a return engagement afte the Wolverines had played at Cambridge. Just who will fill the date formerly occupied by Syracuse on Michigan’s 1917 sched- ule is uncertain. to | The picture then delights my heart— Y Doping Out Art, When sky is painted blue And grass is painted green, The coloring is true And makes a pretty scene; Both sky and grass then look the part 1 must-admit.
