The chaniplonship race between the first four tennis In the Vestern league Is stIll proving to be on ideal contest. Every ( lay furnishes an opportunIty for a shIfting of the positions.

In the bIg league tIme Reds have again as- stimed a bt lead in the race , From an adVantage - Vantage of only eight Points SonIc eIght days ago they have made it over fifty.

The I association Includes the boat cIuts , or navIes , as they are officially called , of the VnIverIty of Pennsylvania , Corndl inlvcr. slty , time UniversIty of WIsconsIn , and Column- hIs universIty. At every one of these tint- verelties aquatic sports are heartIly en- courngeti , anti boatIng has reached a fine stage of developml'nt. The crews of these four universitIes , perhaps , do not have so much money to spcimd for equipment as do the crevs of Yale anti hlarvarti , but they get there just the same. It Is ( loubtful whether time expendItures of time navIes of these four universIties equal those of time navies of 'Yale and Ilarvarti , but the fast tIme the crews of time former universIties have made hmothat money does not. always make the boat go. The absence of Ynlo amid Ilarvarti from time 110W assocIation has been widely commented on , The two New Ermglnnti linlvershtles have beemi invited to join , and any tIme timey want to come wIthin tile fold of the other unIversIties tlmoy wIll be cordially wel- cornetl and gIven soimme good races , Btit it. looks now as though they would prefer to nmalimtnlii a dual league , amid hiolih their races over the hIstorIc but zIgzag course at Now Loimdon.
