Princeton Athletes Badly beaten in the
Dual Cameo at New Haven.

New HAVEN. May l6.-The first dual track ath-
let!c games between Yale and Princeton were held
at Yale field this afternoon. and in all but a few
events the Jcrseymen were clearly outclassed.
Had II not been for PrInceton's good showing in the
hundred. two hundred and twenty. and four hun
bred and forty yard runs, che contest would have
been farcical. In the bicycle race, mile walk, pole
vault, and hurdles Yale mad everything her own
way, and in the field events the contest was too
one.s,ded to be Interesting. No records were
broken. principally because OF the strong westerly
wind which blew across the field during the entire
afternoon. Harry Cross. Yale's best hammer
thrower, had gone to the field prepared to beat
Hickok's intercollegiate record throw or 1876 feet.
hut the wind was too strong for him and he failed to
get within thirteen feet OF his l+3toot practice

The first pair, Mablon Hutchinson and DR..
Rainsford, drove from the starting tee at
o'clock. DIR. Rainsford. as II happened, was the
only st. Andrews man to lose a point.
ut is merely a matter Of bad g%olfnR," said
he Mt the end. but as n fact his play was
rather below the usual form. Mr.. Hutchinson
was so steady and true In his game that DIR.
Rainsford at his best might have found him a
strong adversary. All the Philadelphians
proved themselves exceedingly strong on the
drives and In putting. but their weak point was
on the approach plays. The course was new to
them. which may account for their shortcom-
ings through the green.
Charles Bohlen's swing was greatly admired
by the unlocking experts, and In the first round
he halved the result with q. +. Armstrong, but
In the second round he was in difficulties. and
gave up several holes. His score going out, the
best made by any OF the visitors, follows:

Mr.. Armstrong duplicated his old score Of ~,
which was the amateur record until lowered by
MIR. Sands last year. His tally was:

But for n careless play on the Oak hole, the

would have cut this score at least three strokes;
He had n good lie after the drive, and, instead
OF taking an iron. played the second short with

Mr.. Griscom and Mr.. Livermore had a merry
bout. The after was only one up on the first
round. but made Il grand finish, his second
round being the best nine-holo score OF the
match. The two scores were:

The first hole is usually a five. and Mr.. Sands

will lower this mark later in the season. He
otherwise would have been a possible five. The
old record. 50. was made by Mr.. Sands on Nov.

As the scores show. the greens were in capital

GOLFERS TIE FOR A CUP.
Gov. Grlggs n Player In the Paterson
Match,

Gov. Grlggs was one OF the nine golfers who
made the rounds in the members monthly
handicap match at the Paterson Golf Club yes
terday afternoon. The Governor drives with n
swing equal to a Scotch professional, and wields
the lofting irons and putter in equally good
form. But for some hard luck In the bunkers
his score would have been lower by twenty
strokes, but he faced every difficulty bravely
and set down the unlucky results with an anti
straddle, single-standard pencil.
There was a tie for first place, with D. Griggs,
the Governors son, and 5. NJ. Allen equal at 90
net. The result was a compliment to the Han
dicapping Committee. for each had the same
allowance. showing how nicely their skill had
been gagged. The men will meet again to dc
eide which will score in the monthly match, for
the season medal, and also to settle the owner
ship of the silver cup. offered as an extra prize
