STUDENTS WANT SPORTS - Yale Undergraduates and Alumni Members Making Strenuous Efforts For Revival of Games. New Haven, April 30.—Strenuous ef- forts are being made by Yale undeér- graduates and alumni to induce the i college authorities to allow a resump- itlon of athletic activities, at least to some extent during May and June. The baseball nineand track team de- sire to play a few gamesand to hold { a small number of meets, respectively, {and the situation will be aired at the meeting of the board of athletic con- | trol which will be held next Wednes- \ day night. The baseball men have urged that permission be given for a few games, | although they have not asked that the i schedule which has been abandoned be | revived. They wish to play perhaps half a dozen contests, care being taken that none interferes with the military training plans. One of the propositions advanced is ! that two games be played with Har- vard, the proceeds being sent to the Red Crout These contests would take place at the Yale and Harvard com- mencements. The matter has been !taken up with Harvard in informal correspondence and is being consid- ered by the officials of the two uni- | versities. | The plan of holding either inter- | department or class games has been advanced at Yale, but has met with little favor from the undergraduates, who are eager for the keen competi- tion of games with sister universi- ties. The game between the academic and scientific departments, played vesterday, attracted a mere handful of undergraduates. WILL NOT EFFECT PLAYERS. That is “Boss” Johnson Says Con- scription is Off Until October. New York, April 30.—President Johnson of the American League, who is in this city said Saturday that while he had no assurances from govern- ment or army officials, he has reason to believe that if the proposed con- scription law becomes operative it will not be applied to the players on his circuit until the season ends in October. “All of the teams,” said the American League league executive, “with the exception of the Boston Red Sox, have become proficient in military tactics, but President Frasee intends to push the drilling of his team vigorously. The players will make splendid soldlers. I expect to see all of the unmarried ones in Uncle Sam’s army, as they will be kept at work drilling under the command of Aarmy sergeants until autumna.” Philadelphia, April 30. — Howard Berry, the pentathlon champion of the last ten vears, will have plenty competition in the pentathlon which will be staged Friday, April 27. In addition to Burke of Wisconsin, Hig- gins of Chicago, Thompson of Dart- mouth and Moot of Swarthmore, Syra- cuse has sent in the names of Roberts and Schultz. Colgate entered Grille and { Lehigh entered W. McCarthy. , Of 1 these Grille and Roberts are the best ; known. i Roberts is a good hurdler and {broad jumper. He will give Berry a hard tussle in the 200 meters and the broad jump. If he can do well with the discus and the javelin he will prove a very dangerous competitor for Pennsylvania’s athlete. Grille has a great reputation in northern New York as an all around athlete. McCarthy of Lehigh has been given a careful preparation for GIANTY’ BIG LEAD ' NOW ENDANGERED Gardinals Pushing MéGraw's Men ' Hard—Athletics Going Strong | New York, Apri] 30—Leaders in the major league pennant racés found the going hard last week, with New York challenged for the National League championship by St. Louis and Chi- cago and Boston in a keen. struggle for first place in the American. Except for Cleveland and Philadel- phia, in the Amenican, the big league teams were about evenly matched. Six 'in the National and four in the Amer- ican broke even on games won and lost. Bad weather caused the post- ponement of thirteen games in the two leagues. Giants Break Even, New York's lead in the National was cut down during the week, as M- Graw’s men could only break even on 'the four @ames played. The series with Boston ended with a victory and the series with Philadelphia began (Continued on Ninth Page.) CANNEFAX CUE CHAMPION. Defeats McCourt for World’s Three Cushion Title.

MAY INVESTIGATE FIASCO. New Haven, April 30.—It was stated last night that the police authorities plan to take some action to prevent & possible repetition of Friday night's disgraceful scenes at the Arena when the Newhallville A. C. failed to stage of' ! the event. He throws the javelin and the discus well and is a good runner. Like Berry, he is not really a star at any one event, but he is good at all. | His coach thinks that he will make | a good showing. Berry is now a busy man. In ad- dition to being captain of the baseball team, Berry is very active/n military matters. As one of thogsé who spent all ‘last summer on: the’ Mexican bor- der Berry is agvaluable aid to Major | Pickering in training the athletes’ bat- talion. In his spare time Berry gets in a little practice for the pentathlon event. i His ‘previous two years’ experience will stand him in good stead this year. . Between his military training ‘and baseball he is in fine shape, and Coach Robertson counts on his mak- ing a very good showing. In the accompanyiniz illudtration are shown two photographs of Berry. the much advertised bout between Tommy Shea and Dutch Brandt. This affair marked the second of the season in which the public paid its good money to see a so-called lemon. De- velopments of an interesting. nature are expected within the next few days that may throw further light on cer- tain evils that have cropped into the much-abused boxing game. A big how] has already been sent up from the fans who demand protection from the shoestring promoters. f i | RACING OFF IN ENGLAND. Stewards at Government Request i . Cancel Meetings. !

GAME CALLED OFF. New Haven, April 30.—New Haven baseball fans suffered a big disap- pointment yesterday when the Co- lonial-Niagara university game, sched- uled, for a decision at Lighthouse Point, was declared off. The cancel- ling of the game was the result of action taken by the Niagara authori- ties who informed Manager Weiss of the Colonials that they had been warned by the New Haven club not to appear here because of impending trouble. Manager Weiss, it was learned last night, did everything in his power to get the callegians to come here but they absolutely re- fused. The game was cancelled short- ly before noon. !
