Yale bowl, built by a committee, wag handed over to Yale University, through Thomas Dewitt Cuyler, '74, the 'Chairman. The structure and the land which it stands, the future play- ground of the university, were de- signed to cost about $300,000. The expenditure has exceeded that, but the 'property is transferred without encumbrance - upon it. Graduates alone furnished the money by sub- scription. The enormous circular stegpl and concrete stadium - seats seventy thousand people, upon Will Never Sell Cobb. President Frank J. Navin of the Detroit American League Baseball Club, flatly denied any rumor that Tyrus Cobb might be sold or traded to the New York Americans. "I have often said that Cobb will domplete his major league career in a Detroit uniform, and I will reiter- ate that statement," said Navin. "Cobb will néver be sold, traded or released," he stated. ~~ CANUCKS THE LOSERS, Have Not Adapted Themselves to English Rugby Football As Yet. Canadians in London are not do- | ing so weil at rugby football They have met another defeat ythis time from the South African Infantry: The Canaan captain, Perry, is still awayoand on Saturday Lieul. Byatt wis absentee. AlS0-they were up again®t a good side, who, especially inthe back division, gave a very clever exhibition of 'the game. They handled beautifully, and but for the resolute tackling of the Canadians, would have put on a heavy score. The match ended in a win for the South Africans by 3 points (3 tries) to nik Canadian Ski Record, Nels Nelson broke the Canadian record for ski jumping at Revels- toke, B.C., by six inches, making a jump of 147 feet 6 inches. He made a jump of 161 feet, but suffered a fall. Nels Wilman, of Edmohton, jumped 142 feet 6 inches, and L. Larsen, of the Rossland Ski Club, jumped 142 feet. The seven miles ski race was won by Gunderson, of Revelstoke, in one hour 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Pat. Skeen won the three-mile race in 29 minutes 38 seconds Mere than 2,000 people witnessed the events. Selling Players, International League clubs contin- ue to dispose of their players wher- ever a market can be found, A doz- en have now been sold and 'others weuld have been sent to other lea- gues had the prices offered been slightly more liberal. Since there is now no likelihopd of the Inter- national League conducting its cam- paign this season, the owners of clubs in other circuits are not in- clined to offer fancy figures for play- ers from that league, Hearne In Demand. Two big league clubs are in the market for the services of Bunny Hearne, the Toronto south-paw, who next to Gregg, of Providence, was the most effective pitcher in the lea- gue last season. Hearne has had the experience and should easily make the grade. It is reported that the Boston Red Sox and also the Phila- delphia Nationals are willing to talk business with Pres. McCaffery for the player, form fit COLLAR CLVETT, PEABODY &.CO. INCMAKERS STAY IN THE MAJORS SHORT AND SWEET Only Fifteen Working of Twelve Years' Standing During Last Last Year. Twelve years is a : is a long time in the life of a major league ball player, if one may base his estimate on some statistics furnished by - a baseball dopist, who has compiled a record that shows how few players. in the majors in 1906 can still be counted actively in the game." Commenting on his own record, the statistician says: It seems scarcely possible that out of 300 men drawing salaries in the American and National Leagues in 1906 only fifteen played ball #1917, and four of these probably will not be seen in, 1918. And that is the space of only 12 years. I0f the American League pitchers of 1908, who included Waddell, Mul- len, Joss, Chesboro and others, only three, Bender, Plank and Coombs, were able to pitch regularly last year, and Plank retired in the middle of the season. One other, Donovan, managed a big league club, Reulbach and Ames. Of the National League pitchers of 1906, Reulbach and Ames were the only ones who saw service in 1917, and Reulbach pitched very little at Boston, and has been given his un- conditional release. Mathewson was still active in baseball as manager of the Reds. Not a catcher of the '1906 troop was in the harness 11 years later, ex- cept Gibson, who did a little relief work for the Giants, Of the infielders, six remain of the 1906 crowd, providing Lajoie is counted, for Larry, after a year's so- journ in the minors, is likely to wear a big league uniform next year. The others are Wagner, played pdrt of the season; who w§s in less than 20 games at New York; Evers, wifo was the game a great part of the season; Turner, who played in an utility role with Cleveland, and Chase. The| the| latter was the only regular of outfit, » ---- Five Still Playing. In the outfield, we find five still in the game. Cobb is among them, and still the greatest of all ball players. The others are Crawford, who Has about reached the end of the road; Hinchman and Schulte, who had un- satisfactory seasons last year, and Sherwood Magee. Others still in the game, but not actively, are Fielder Jones, manager of the Browns, and Bob Wallace, who will be back in the big tent next year, but only as a coach, This is a striking picture of length of time big leaguer hope to last in fast company. Most of them are gone, and all, with the exception of Cobb, are fad- ing. Twelve years means 'a great deal to a ball player. . the may Fa Boche aeroplaue battered by Fresich cannon iu the Vosges.
