The match was fought through five gruell- ing sets before the famous eastern pair won, 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 7-9, 6-4.

When the 1918-19 athletic season swings into place it will not be sur- prising to see Harvard-Yale, Harvard- Princeton and Yale-Princeton com- petitions in_ all the major _sports, which include football, baseball, row- ing, track athletics and hockey. These games will furnish the,most import- ant matches for the varsity teams in all sports, and the three universities will have no more trouble then than they have now in filling in the rest of the dates to suit themse'ves. The breaking of _ Harvard-Cornell rowing relations, after 12 years of crew races, points to the rearrange- ment of the future H-Y-P athletic schedules. From the mass of diplo- matic explanations that have follow- ed this break, it is difficult to discover just where the fault lies. Harvard savs that it couldn’t row so late’ as Cornell wished, and Cornell says it offered to modify the conditions of the race for the convenience of Harvard. The fact remains, though, that Har- vard refused to row Cornell and_that Cornell promptly arranged a Yale- Cornell crew race on the date for which the Crimson was ostensibly angling. It is probable that the athle- tic authorities of nefther university were very anxious to continue row- ing relations. The chances of Cornell appearing on the Harvard crew schedule next year are rather indefinite. Tt is hinted that the annual Harvard-Princeton race. which now takes place in April, will be fehfea to May in 1918, and thus be given the place formerly held down by the Ithacan crew. Harvard wou'd then row against Annapolis for its April date. Harvard engages with Yale in every major sport at present and Yale com- petes with Princeton in all the impor- tant branches. The missing link in the arrangement of the Biz Three just now is a Harvard-Princeton dual track meet. Cornell has the track date with Harvard at present, and will probably have it in 1918, when the current agreement terminates. After that, a Hervard-Princeton meet each spring instead of a Harvard-Cornell match, is likely to take place. ELI ROWING IN MOST UNCERTAIN STATE Guy Nickalls is on His Way From England. Yale rowing is in a most uncertain state owing to the war. Guy Nick- alls, the coach, is said to be on his way from England, and whether he will be able to penetrate the blockade is by no means sure. Captain Cord Mevyer, an aeroplane expert, is absent from college assisting the government, although_he hopes to be able to re- turn to Yale. He i sone of the most expert aviators in the East. Nickalls was booked to leave Eng- land last Friday on the Adriatic. This will bring him to Yale about tomor- row if the boat is on time. Should it fail to get through, however, the sition of head crew coach at Yale will =o for the season to Prof. Mather Ab- bott, who was Nickall’s asistant coach last year and who has coached the Groton school crews for years. The varsity squad will begin work in abou® 10 days. even if Coach Nick- alls fails to arrive. Capt. Meyer Law- rence and Harriman are the crew vet- erans. Whittlesey will not row again because of {ll health, but " Coats and Schreiber, from the St. Paul School; Fayer, Munson and ), from the Choate school, freshman oarsmen last year, and Stroke Soderston of the 1919 eight are promising material. ok FORMER PLANTER PLAYING IN HAVANA New London’s First Sacker Known as the “Rubber Man” in the South. phwedcng-hh.nfl.fl i.lfl:.hx e ster that Joe Massageur had Tth the Allison Signs With Cleveland. Cleveland, Ohlo, Feb. 22— The sign- being motor cars direct mhfi-wmm mine.l. seen before another campaign up. As to Mogridge, he was one. of cleverest southpaw pitchers in the junior circuit last season. He pmvod himself particularly poisonous to Chicago and Detroit clubs. Like mut of the other Yankee stars, he was, un- fortunately, the victim of an accident that ruined his effectiveness. Early in the season Mogridge strain- ed a ligament in his pitching arm. He came back in a few weeks, but was able to stand the gaff for only a few innings at a time. Toward the end of the season he began to get right and then he stood such redoubtable teams as the White Sox and the Red Sox on their heads. Has Good Arm. Hughie High is one of the sweetest little outfielders who ever appeared in a New York uniform. Possessed = of wonderful judgment of fly bails, he can either come in or go out almost with the surety of a Speaker. More- over, he has the art of throwing down to a science. High has the difficult patrol of the sun field, yet he plays the beat as Willie Keeler used to play at the old Hilltop. And in spite of the cruel glare he hits up to the average ciip for out- fielders. Hushie is one of the finest waiters in the league. After he gets on he knows what to do with himself. He is a base runner of note. The acquisition of Walters, Mogridge and High leaves Donovan with an all- star cast to begin his drive for the 1917 pennant. Only three of the army of Yankees still are unsigned, and none of these is of vital issue. They are Paddy Bauman, utility player, Dan Tipple, a player who was farmed out last year, and a nameless outfielder who wears a “badger” haircut. COLLEGE NI\ES HAVE STARTED PRACTICE. Battery Men Working Out in Cages at Various Schools. College baseball is already under way in several of the cages. Columbia is practicing daily under Coach Coak- ley, Hughie Duffy has summoned his Harvard candidates, Bill Clark is at work at Princeton, and Brown has been busy for the -last few days. Captain Eddie Driggs of Princeton expects a fast nine, although his team has suffered greatly by graduation. The principal task will be to develop a pitching staff, as Link, who carried most of the work last season, has gone. R. L. Thompson is a veteran of other seasons, and from the former freshmen G. W. Parmalee and C. H. Savagaex, a staff will be picked. Unless a catcher is found Driggs will go from stortstop to behind the bat. Scully is a veteran first baseman, but the only other available men are the outfielders—Lee, Keating and Tibbett. The most promising of the men are Bade, Banham, Hewett, Madden and Tyler. Brown will have a nine that will compare favorably with the football squad of last fall. Every position will be filled bv a veteran. The pitching staff will have Denison, Richards and Flanders, all experienced twirlers. De Vitalis, formerly of Exeter, comes from the academy with a big reputa- tion on the mound, and Fuller is an- other good pitcher. Fienberg and Donovan will fight it out for the catching position. David- son at third and Murray at second are fixtures, and there are several capable men- for the other infield positions. The outfield will be taken care of by C:pta.in Ormsby, Robertson and Mur- phy. Newton Defeated Vanderwaker. El Paso, Texas, Feb. 22.—John New- ton, Blighth Ohio Infantry, success. fully defended his title as welter- weight champion of the army by de feating Jimmy Vandewaker, Twenti- eth United States Infantry, here to- day.

That is the principal new construc- ‘tion that we ask for the coming two If it were immediately avail- able it would undoubtedly wipe out our present waiting list. But for how long? That is the important and pressing question that we believe the state should ask fitself during the session of the present general assembly. The general hospitals of the state refuse to admit cases of tuberculosis t otheir wards or private rooms, and if, perchance, because of a mistake in diagnosis, or because of the stress of some such emedgency as . a street hemorrhage, a consumnptive is receiv- ed into a general hospital, the officials of that hospital are as a rule panic stricken until the unfortunate patient is removed from the building. The attitude of the officials of the general hospitals of the state is not only cruel, but is entirely without scientific justification. At the Norwich institution, excent for the completion and care of the toilet of the grounds and buildings, and the finishing of the third story of the service guarters to provide sleep- ing rooms, there has been no new construction. The Norwich Sanato- rium, although the smallest of the san- atoria, is one of the best. As stated elsewhere, we propose in the next two vears, if the. general assembly con- sents. to increase the capacity from 48 to 88 beds. and this will give up a to- tal of 132 beds for the whole in tution. _ The Norwich Sanatorium is the voungest of the sanatoria, and be- cause it has had the benefit of our early experiences in the older sana- toria, its discharged patients have been followed up more closely than was the case in the early davs of the other institutions. Therefore, the following summary of the work done at Norwich has a special interest. From the opening of the State Tu- berculosis Sanatorfum at Norwich, February 1, 1913, up to December 31, 1913, up to December 31. 1915, the were 311 male patients admitted. A cording to the stace of their disease, thev may be classified as follows: In- cipient. 22: moderately advanced, 242: ~dvanced, 45: and bone tuberculosis, 2 Of these 311 male cases, 50 moderately 2dvanced and 28 advanced died in the institntion, and 8 are stil' on the pa- tient lst: or, 225 males have left the sanatorium. efther with or against the advice of the physicians. , Of these 225 males, at.least 69, or 30 6- 10 per cent. are working and have heen working since their denartnre. Of these 63 cases working, 10 rinssed as incipient, 58 as moderate! advanced, 4 as advanced and 2 as hone cases. There have heen admitted to the san- atorium in the same lenzth of time 225 females, classified as follows: J- cipient, 18; moderately advanced. 161; advanced, 40: peritoneal tuberculosis, bone tuberculosis. 1: non-tubsercu- Tosis, 2. Of these 225 females admit- ted, 63 died at the institution—35 mod- erately advanced ard 28 advanced cas- es—and_five are still in the institu- tion. The remaining 157 females have returned to their homes. of these 157 females, 33 of the moderate- v advanced cases and 9 of the in- ciplent cases, or 42 cases in all (26 7-10 per cent.) are working.

In spite of the fact that we disinfect bedding and clothing before sending them to the laundries with which we had con- tracts. there have been frequent pro- tests from employes of these laundries against doing our work, and oceasion- ally public officials and officers of labor unions have exer~ised over the danger to the public that they supposed lay in the carrying of our patients’ clothing throuzh the s ts, and in the washing of it In the build- fn‘l in which the linen of other people fi = and froned. é little inves- gation soon satisfied the protestors that the bundles from our sanatoria were the least danzerous bundles that arrived at any public laundry, for none of the other bundles were disinfected other disease.

A NATIONAL BOARD OF FOOD CONTROL PROPOSED As a Means of Preventing the High Prices of Foodstuffs. New York, Feb. 22.—A national board of food control, with powers to regulate farm labor conditions and the distribution of products by the rail- roads, was urged here tonight in a statement by Joseph Hartigan, com- missioner of the city’s bureau of weights and measures, as a means of relieving the present situation and re- ducing prices. The commissioner said he did not believe an embargo on food- stuffs to foreign countries or a com- mission vested with power to fix prices would solve the problem. The underlying causcs of the threat- ened food famine, Commissioner Har- tigan declared, were the shortage of farm labor and the increased cost of farming implements and other articles necessary for production. He suggest- ed that if a national board of food control were formed, it might be well to consider the feasibility of bring- farm labor here from the Philip- es. ‘With respect to the situation in this city, where rioting was resumed by housewives today in the more congest- ed tenement districts, Commissioner Hartlgan sald financial action by a small group of publio-spirited citizens could speedily bring rellef. He added that he knew where large quantities of potatoes and onions NO MOVE MADE IN CRISIS WITH GERMANY Awaiting Confirmation of Release of Yarrowdale Seamen. ‘Washington, Feb. 22—No move was made here today in the crisis in re- lations between the United States and president to nddr' s ‘with a request for authority to deal with any emergency that may rnment. ‘The government is awaiting official tion of news despatches tell- by Germany of the prisoners of the Yarrowdale, lor Penficld at about Americans in no confer- He attended a celebration, ed to a speech by Semator of » Who vigorously de- nounced Germany and American paci- ficists.

Women in Philadelphia—Stores Entered and Damaged. Philadelphia, Feb. 22 tests against high food pric ands of women in the south tion of the city, where the are largely of foreign birth, residents today pa- raded in ‘unorganized fashion, upset ting food displays and cverturning pushcarts. Stores were entered a damaged in some instances. A crowd of women rushed a flsh store and upset a tank of live carp. Kerosene was poured on other fish and the store fixtures were badly damaged. The police forced back the crowd and arrested tree women. Similar scenes were reported in the northeastern section of the city, also inhabited largely by foreigners. The pushcart vendors lost their wares, Many grocers and butchers closed their wares. Many grocers and butch- ers closed their shops. During an at tack downtown on several teams load- ed with food supplies, a boy was hit in the face by a milk bottle and se- verely injured. A report that a man had been shot proved untrue. BOYCOTT AGAINST THE HIGHER PRICED FOODSTUFFS Is in Force by East Side Housewives in New York. New York, Feb, 22.—Hundreds of in- spectors from various city departments all were at work throughout the city day in an effort to obtain all informa- tion possible for presentation to the mayor and board of estimate tomor- row.
