1t has finally been decided that the Tigers
will play the University OF Pennsylvania in
base ball this year. The subject has been for
some time under discussion, the reason for
Princeton holding off being the same as that
which impelled her to refuse at first to play
Harvard She thought it unfair that she should
have to play a university team with a strictly
undergraduate one, as. of course, from her allie

only undergraduates. When she decided to
play Harvard this difficulty ceased further to
be held insurmountable. and SO the arrange
ment Of dates with the University of Pennsyl-
vania was the natural sequence General salts
faction is expressed with this arrangement.
No dates have yet been fixed further tnan that
one game will be played in each ground in May
and third game in June, the place not yet
having been decided upon.

Corbett Talks in an Independent Way.
CHAMPION James Corbett. who is at Indian
apolis, in an interview yesterday said: II think
that only good men can compete for the large
purses now being offered. / think that the

for two Australians. Nobody cared much who
won."
Asked what was the lowest purse he would
fight for. Corbett said: ''We have two offers
one S75, 600 the other $50, 900. Either would
be acceptable. But l am not going to fight for
any small amount.
''Tbe fight between Mitchell and myself" he
said, will be the first international fight that
has ever taken place in this country where peo-
pie could sit down and see it as if they were in
q theater."
OF Mitchell Corbe:t said: az never saw him
fight, but know him to be shifty and tricky a
hard hitter and good general he will be the
first man ever fought any way near my own
weight. The fight between US will be hard
one. and is likely to last long.
sullivan will never fight again. He's DONE
and ISIS no use crying about it. / shall train
three months before the fght with Mitchell 1
don't have to come to terms with any club
They must come TO mine. / do not blow in
my money, and l am more independent than
the clubs. l have more MONEY than any of
them. and do not propose to fight for cent
less than l am worth"
