work of any of the school
players, is back in his old position.

Captain Maguire will keep his old place at full-back, and ought to
manage to develop a strong eleven. He is familiar with the fine points
of the game, and has been a member of the team for two years past. Last
year he proved himself one of the cleverest ground-gainers in the
League, and in the game with English High his punting aided materially
toward the securing of victory. His tackling and interfering have
improved, and will doubtless grow better as the season advances.

The showing made in the early work of the English High-School players
has not been very encouraging thus far. Like the C.M.T.S. men, the
candidates are small, but all of them are apparently hard workers. It is
fortunate for Captain Callahan that there are not so very many positions
to fill, but on the other hand the vacancies occur in places where
strong and reliable players are required. If things are allowed to run
along in the slipshod way that characterized E.H.-S.'s endeavors last
year, however, the team will be a poorer one than has represented the
school for some time. Only continuous and careful work can bring the
team into championship form.

The two scholastic representatives in the A.A.U. championships at
Manhattan Field on the 14th managed to hold their ends up pretty well.
Baltazzi took second to Sweeney in the high jump, with 5 feet 10-1/2
inches, defeating Cosgrove, and Syme got first in the low hurdles. He
ran his trial heat in 26-3/5 seconds, but got the medal with 28-1/5
seconds. His victory was in some respects a repetition of his success at
Syracuse in the Metropolitan championships. There he met Sheldon and
Chase, the latter falling over the eighth hurdle. At Manhattan Field,
Cosgrove led up to the ninth hurdle in the trials, and then took a
cropper, leaving Syme to win the heat. In the finals, Syme and Cady had
it neck and neck to this same ninth, when the scholastic runner struck
the timber so heavily as to break it, but recovered in time to see Cady
go somersaulting over the tenth. Before the Yale man could recover, Syme
had breasted the tape.

THE GRADUATE.

A NEW USE FOR A DOLL.

A new use for a doll has been discovered by an ingenious London thief. A
woman who was arrested for stealing from one of the large dry-goods
shops was found to have been carrying what everybody supposed to be a
baby; but what in reality turned out to be a huge doll wi
