Y., Feb. 19.—Columbia defeated Cornell by one lone tally in a fast and exciting game on DBeebe Lake yesterday, a shot by David Rogers in the last period giving the New Yorkers a 1 to 0 victors.' The game was the fastest and closest played in Ithaca this season, and it was witnessed by a large crowd, in- cluding a good many Junior Week guests. In teamwork the two sextets were about evenly matched. Cornell, if anything, had an edge In speed, but the superh defense of Wahlig, Colum- hian goal keeper, was the deciding factor in faver of the Blue and White. VOTE TO RESUME RELATIONS Troy, N.

The other day, over in Elizabeth, N. J., a boxer received a cablegram from Major Wilson, England’s big boxing promoter of the day, offering him $15,000 to engage in three bouts in JLondon, England. About the same time the boxer svas proffered the “job" of boxing instructor to the fire- men of the little town in New Jersey. The salary for this latter job would be one dollar per year. Now to make this a human interest heart throbber the story ought to go right on and say that the boxer, hav- ing a noble sense of duty to his na- tive town and its welfare, turned down the offer of a small fortune and ac- cepted the job as boxing instructor to the firemen. . Aud the boxer? Oh, yes, he's George Ward, known to fistic fame as “‘Gentleman George” Ward, probably the cleverest of all the welterweight boxers and challenger of the world's champion, Mickey Walker.

WOULD ERECT MONUMENT General Counsel for American League Introduces a Measure in Senate Yes« terday in Support of Plan. ‘Washington, D. C., Feb. 10.—Sena- tor Pepper (1%, Pa.) who as general counsel for the American League drew up most of its regulations, put a joint resolution in the senate yesterday to authorize the American league to erect in Washington “a monument to sym- bolize the national game of baseball and the benefits resulting therefrom to the people of the United States.” "he chief of'engineers of the army would seleét the site and the joint committee on the library, with the advice of the Iine Arts commission, would ‘approve the site and the de- sign of the monument. It would be entirely a gift by the American league without cost to the government, shift in his infield when the New Or- leans spring training begins. Aaron Ward will be sent back to third base, where he performed so sensationally a part of last season and the season before. Joe Dugan will go back to second base. When he first broke into base- 2 ball in 1917 he was a shortstop, and 5|then he moved over to second. He proved himself a great second, sacker, for he can go far for a ball, either to his right or left. Later he went to third, and it was as a third baseman that Huggins bought him last season, 56| when the left wing of the Yankee infleld had to be bolstered. There has been a general impres- sion that the reason Dugan wasn't put at second when he came here in Aug- | ust last and Ward shifted to third was that Dugan preferred to play third. That may have been the case then, but it is different now, it is said, so a big experiment may be made at New Orleans. That is, if the Collins deal doesn't go through. Something may happen fii that matter at the American, lea- gue mecting at Philadelphia on Feb. school team, 25 to 21, last night at South Manchester.
