TIGERS UPSET DOPE AND DEFEAT COLUMBIA-OTHER SPORTS PRINCETON BUMPS Gould Defeats Kinsel a on New Court

Springs Surprise by Defeating Columbia &9 to 27 on New Yorkers' "Own Floor — Tigers, Yale* and Cornell Tied for First.

Harry Fisher, coach of the Columbia basketball team, is probably wishing this morning that he hadn't made that "we are going right through the sea­son without a defeat" crack a month or two ago. For as Fisher studies the score of last night's game with Princeton he can't get very much com­fort. ' The Tigers bcp ~'i.-„-M~ to 27, and they beat the New Yorkers on their own floor, too. i..o.u.... the dope was upset.

Columbia, was considered exception ally strong this year and as the game was played on the .home court their defeat causes ^ greater surprise. Two Of Columbia's regulars were out of the line-up on account of illness, but Coach Fisher had so many good play­ers on hand that <it was thought he could use a number of these to aavan tage. *

Another game which was somewhat of a surprise was the large score run up on Penn by Yale after Cornell had

^defeated the Quakers by only three points. By defeating Columbia. Princeton takes the place of the Gothamites in the tie with Yale and Cornell for first place in the league. Columbia has now broken even on games, having won its first league match from Dartmouth.

The league standing: W.

Cornell 1 Yale 1 Princeton 1 Columbia 1 Dartmouth 0 Pennsylvania 0

The Cornell team will leave Ithaca tonight for its gatme with Yale tomor­row.* This game will break the triple tie as the winner will lead the league with, two games won.

FIVE PUS E M SAYS THIS OLD-TIMER

COLLINS TRADED BECAUSE HE WAS A T R 0 0 I H H A K E R 7 Connie-Mack was forced t:> get rid

of Oolllns, it is said, in-order to main-tain harmony in bis once great ball team. Collins, so the story .woes, had a serious qnarrei -with Ira Thomas and , when the world's aeries was played he was on speaking terms with only three of the iMackmen. Collins was charged with having a swollen cranium, and his fellow playerr- did not relish some of the comments he made In newspaper articles. On lop of this was the fact that Coli-ins used a Federal League offer as a dub to compel Mack to increase his salary. Mack subsequently blamed the great second baseman for the loss of at least one of the games with the B o s ton Braves "and when the world's title had been surrendered the tall manager decided that Collins had re­mained too long m Philadelphia.

JAY GOULD. New York, Jan. 14.—The new

$250,000 court tennis building on Payne Whitney's estate at Manhas-set, L. I., has been formally opened with a tennis match between Jay Gould, world's amateur champion, and Walter A. Kinsella, the lead­ing professional in this country. It was watched by champions, past and present, especially jnvited for the occasion. Gould defeated his

scores of 7-5, 6-4, 6-3.

Washington, Jan. 14.—Jiminy Ryan elieves baseball is going back to the

' system of the old days wheu five j pitchers were all a club would carry.

"Stailings has amply demonstrated j that the former scheme was Dest," says* Ryan. "When I was with t i e Chicago Colts CaWanan,- Clark Grif­fith and a third pitcher would work in turn. You could ilways belect the twirler for 'he next. game. We had a couple of pitchers on the bench for relief duty, but no mor%.

"At present rwe find clubs with ten and more twirlers on the payroll, when three or four are actually doing all the work. What is the result? Why, these regulars are liable to be fretty because they have to perform the heavy, tasks and at the same time see eight or nine men sitting on the bench drawing pay and terforming no actual labor in the championship games.

"'Why do I have to do so much and eat when, thoa^guyu a r a i ^ ^ ^ :

tn spite of the loss of Bender, Coombs, Plank and Collins and the probable release of OWng the Athlet­ics still appear formidable on paper. Mack Intends to play Lajoio, Mclnnis and Baker on the bases, with Barry at shortstop and the outfield made tip of Walnh, fttrunk and Mterphy. - He will retain Schang and Lapp behind the hat and hit pitching staff will tn chide 8hswkey, Bneh, Wyckoff, Pen-nock, Bresalsr, Davies and several youngsters. § Mack isn't saying much these days, but when the t i n s corns* to put Ifts men In the field the other American League managers believe that ho will provide the usnal trouble.

Half Dozen First Class Ameri­can Battlers Could Make Him Hustle in Real Scrap— Shugrue, White, Dundee and Kilbane Mentioned.

(By fcrankv G. Menke.) New York, Jan. 14.—Freddie Welsh

will be lightweight champion of the world just so long as he dodges meet­ing one of the first-class American scrappers' in a decision bout. The j first time he does it's a fairly safe bet that Welsh will be dethroned in case he tries conclusions with one of the*^ lialf dozen first-class battlers who rep­resent the U. S. A.

Welsh already has been out-pointed in jio-decision bouts by Charley White of Chicago and Young Shugrue of Jer­sey City. Over a long route it seems pretty ceftain that either could take Welsh's measure. Willie, if he ever got another chance at Welsh, looks good enough to win back the title, provided that an American referee presided at the affair. Johnny Dun­dee recently graduated from the featherweight division, is game, fast and a good hitter. He'd have at least an even chance against the Briton.

Johnny Kilbane, ranked as Welsh's superior in punching power and equal to Welsh in scientific qualities, would be a good bet if he ever got a chance against Welsh. Kilbane is feather­weight champion just no*w, but he-has begun to outgrow Irs class. He is looking around for scraps with light­weights, but up to the present Welsh has ignored him.

Several Good Ones Fact is the pugilistic woods just now

are full of good lightweights. There are more tcp-notchers today than there has been at one time for many years. In addition to those already mentioned there are plenty of good lightweights who are in the "comer" class, and some who are in the "go­ing" class.

I/cach Cross, once ranked among the best lightweights in the country, is slipping; but he's still good. Johnny ("Young") I,ustig of New York is coming fast and in a few months more may rank with the classiest perform­ers in the game. Joe Rivers, the Mex­ican, is slipping. "Harlem Tommy" Murphy is doing likewise. But both are still capable of putting up a real

having it so soft?' they .frequently say to themselves. And you can't blame them.

"Instead of a dozen high priced men stepping on each other's toes I be­lieve that the day is coming when ,slx will be the limit any club carries. Stallings has shown to the present generation that it can be done:

"Back in the eighties when I was pitching, John Clarkson, another fel­low and' myseK woutij. do the bulk of the, work. And it didn't hurt us any, either. We were in shape and ha'd to keep BO. It was seldom ne heard a pitcher say he was feeling bad then, or had a kink in the" arm. He had to get out and work or lose hie job.

"They can talk all they want to ribottt baseball's improving, but I fail bo see it that way. We could teach the present day players a lot about the game., and I'm not the only one Who thinks so.

"Hard work never hurt any ball player. You see what K dlfi for "the Boston Braves ^ ft won them a world championship."

RITCHIE AGREES TO BOX WELSH NEXT MONTH

"Battling" Terry of Newcastle, Pa., has been coming along nicely. He has been worked along easy stages and is rising to a point now where he is get­ting lots of recognition. Terry's most recent notable performance was a vic­tory over Hal Stewart in Grand Rapids on New Year's Day. Stewart a short time before had beaten Joe Vfandot. '

There's a chap named Gallant from L, up in Boston town who is coming along at a great rate, too, and scat­tered throughout the west are some

/other youngsters in the lightweight division who promise to have a nation­wide reputation within a year or so.

The fact that the harvest of light­weights .has been good this* year and will be. even better next year must be pleasing to the fight fans. A battle between lightweights usually is worth the price of admission. Fans ought to get paid—instead of paying—to see "white hopes" perform. Middleweight bouts of late don't furnish the excite­ment and thrill Of other years

And so the public of late has turned to the lightweight divlson end It finds that the division *as become popu­lated with at least a doien top-notch -ere and a doses others*who promise to reach the ersat within a short time.

San Francisco, .Fan. 14.—Willie Ritchie, former lightweight champion, accepted an offer hers today to meet the title holder, Freddie Welsh, In a ten round no decision bout at Madi­son Square Garden on or about Fjeb, f.

Unusually important are tonight's games in the firemen's basketball league which start at 7:30 p. m. at the Y. M. C. A. A large crowd i s ex­pected to see the four teams strug­gle for better standings in the league. The first game will decide which team shall-be the occupant of last position as there is but half a gamd's difference in the standing of Fire Company, No. 4 and Nr. 7, the two contesting teams.

The second game, the first half of which will start immediately follow* ' ing the end*%f the first half of th< first game will decide whether Fir Company, No. 3, will retain t h e ] over their rivals, No. 5, who are or! a half game in the rear. This game is attracting a lot of attention and should* prove one of the best exhi­bitions of the amateur game this winter in Ithaca. The managers of each of the teamst expect to put their best teams on the floor and all of ^he players are reported to be in the best possible condition.

The games will consist of two twenty minute halves each and will be played according to the A. A. V. rules strictly observe* by the refe­rees.
