From the Philadelphia Press
PRINCETON, N. j.. December 15.-Prof.
Charles II. Hinton gave tonight a demon
stration of the practical worth of the base
ball pitching cannon. recently invented and
perfected by him. The exhibition given in
the university gymnasium attracted large
crowd of undergraduates. who were inter-
ested to learn the practical value of Prof
Hinton's invention.
Jerome Bradley. captain of the '96 cham

lecture concerning his pitching machine
and its use before displaying its merits
Prof. Hinton said. in part, that he in

this carnon will throw the ball swifter and
more accurate than can man. and l be-
lleve that base ball players will find it of
great assistance to them. at least during

Prof. Hinton described the way in which
the cannon was operated. The cannon is

Ion desired by prongs which protrude from

ball rubs i'll passing, acquiring a rotary
motion, which causes the curve. Shifting
tnese prongs from the right.to the left side
OF the cannon or from top to bottom reeu-
rates the direction of the curve-in out up
shoot or drop. The speed with which the
ball is thrown depends upon the amount of
powder placed in the cartridge

DEPENDENT ON THE RACE.
Whether Yale and Harvard VIII Re-
Establish Athletic Contests.

Whether Yale and Harvard Will Re-
Establish Athletic Contests.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass. December 16.-
There is considerable impatience in college
athletic circles over the long delay in the
completion of an agreement between Har-
ward and Yale. 1t is' explained, however,
by those In charge of affairs that the hitch
in proceedings is but slight, and as matters
are patched up in this regard reconcilia-
tion will be speedily effected in all sports.
1t is understood on high authority that
Yale sent to Harvard a}reaSest to row the
boat race on the Thames ait New London
next June. and that Harvard. without alb
solutely refusing this proposition, replied
that 1t would be practically impossible to
do so. as she Is bound, toi rpw Cornell on
the Hudson, and II would be unreasonable
to expect her to transfer her training quar-
ters TO New London after the race at
Poughkeepsie.
Little more has transpired than this and
the matter Is still 'in the air." Should no
boat race be held 1t is not likely that Har-
ward will renew relations with Yale In any
other branch of athletics next spring.
'The idea that Harvard Is trying to force
Yale into the Cornell race" said a member
of the Harvard athletic committee to an
Associated Press representative, 'is erro-
neous. Harvard. Is not trying in any way
to draw Yale into that race. We must, ac-
cording to our agreement, row Cornell next
June, though not necessarily In the quad
rangular race. II Yale desires to row in
that race we should raise no objection. If
with Yale on the Hudson two weeks be-
fore or after the Cornell race To row Yale
on the Thames seems to US almost out Of
the question
