One of the first to be completed between clubs in the Pacific Coast league was the sale of Catcher Red Baldwin of the Los Angeles club to Seattle. Managers Krug and Killifer came to terms after the former considered the bids he had for the hustling backstop. The price paid for Baldwin was not announced but it is known to be considerably more than the waiver amount, which is $3,000 in the organization. Manager Krug agreed to dis- the foremost backstops in baseball, one who is a home-run gare rar jhitter of the Paul Strand type.

BY HENRY L, FARRELL EW YORK, Dec. 12.—When Yale undergraduates, with the help of many hysterical old grads, tore down the goal posts in the Harvard stadium and took the splinters back to New Haven, it was a sign that Yale considered that victory over Harvard as something more than an ordinary victory, and it was. When the great Yale team defeated Harvard 13 to 0 on a field where it seemed that no team could play football, the Yale ascension from the athletic depths was complet With the possible exception of the University of Michigan, sports on that day as Yale did. Yale, in the consensus of opinion, had the champion foot- ball team of the East. Officially it was the champion team of the “Big Three” and many competent critics regarded it as the finest team in the country. Yale had the champion Eastern baseball team of 1923 and the champion basketball team. The Yale track team n the championship of tho “Big Three” and was one of the best in the country ‘he Yale crew beat Harvard, was obvioubly better than Princeton's and might have won the intercollegiate championship had {it been possible to enter the varsity eight in the Poughkeepsie regatta, Yale held the amateur golf championship until Jess Sweetser was dethroned and a Yale man, Dexter Cummings, holds the intercollegiate | championship. The Yale swimming team {s perhaps the best in the country and nine world records made by its members gives it class that no other college team can equal. It was a grea year for Yale athletics and it {s unusual that the Yale Porter got boys didn't try to take the whole Harvard stadium away from Cambridge | The Yale Dally News, official organ of the university, hpologized to He re-| Harvard for the acts of Yale men in tearing down the goal posts and in in Amateur| ord for al th: the Arena here last night re of 4 to 3 overtime me we Into e 8 three third period and peconds elapsed when Russ famous Eddie of the Calgary Ontman put Victoria in the lead | Cc In the second per d goals.
