With the score to against them in the beginning of the ninth inning, Princetonpulledthe game out of the fire against Yale at the Polo grounds Sat urday afternoon in, a magnificent grand stand finish.
 The sons of old Eli had played the steadiestl kind of game for eight in- nings, making no errors and allowing the Tigers only one run, while the work of the men from Nassau had been in striking contrast. Yale's six tal1ies were almost wholly due to Princeton's ragged work in the infield, Aureli alone having made five errors.

Murphy, who has been forging his way to the front dur ing the past year, is regarded as 8 very good boy, and if his past form counts for anything be should give the cham pion hard tussle. The weight at which the struggle is to be held is just to Corbett's liking. Corbett has begun training, and evidently means to be in fettle.

Al Limerick, the Buffalo boxer who recently sprung into prominence by Knocking down Jack O'Brien of Phila- de1phia, several times, is looked upon as conner. Limerick claims that he was discharged by O'Bren for beat ing him, and that he was under con tract to the boxer and not to the show
 Limerick is out with challenge to meet Jack Munroe, the westerner who recently gained a reputation by stay ing four rounds with Jeffries. He may take part in couple of six round bouts in Philadelphia. Limerick says that O'Brfen tried to hire a mob to beat him as he left the theater and that he was compelled to stop in the playhouse until 2 o'clock in the morn ing. It is said that the Buffalo heavy weight has improved 100 per cent un- der the tuition of O'Brien, and that if he improves as he has the last six weeks he will soon be in line for
 bout with the top-notchers in the
 heavyweight class. Limerick's clever showing has given him much conf1- dence, and he would like to arrange a bout with the PhiladeIphian for a side wager. He said: ssI have 1,OOO that | dAu LSdAy Uu fWdSSI IudE Il Chu SLOQ O'Brien in four rounds, and that goes as challenge. The trouble all comes about by O'Brien tapping me harder than was really necessary. Not satis- fled with this, he told members of the show and guests of the hotels to come and see the fun, that he intended to show me up this night in particular
 we were to spar three minute rounds. The referee told me afterward that the first one lasted just one minute, the second thirty-dve seconds and O'Brien was down and out in the last round in ffty-eight seconds. The manager of the show offered me $500 to join it, but as O'BEien had contract for one or two weeks longer, there was nothing for me to do but come home and pick up the job later on.''
 Gray-haired men gathered in a little knot in the parlors of the Stephen Mer- ritt Bsgail Go at West Nineteenth street and Eighth avenue yesterday af
 ternoon, They talked in subdued tones and now and then their eyes would turn to where a canopied bier stood in dimly lighted corner of the room. To the passerby who would glance in it was only the usual gathering of a few old men fo pay their respects to the memory Of a dead friend or relative. To those, however. who knew why they were there the knot of gray haired men was of more than passing interest. The funeral was that of Dooney liar ris, once hghtweighht champion of the world. Among the men gathered there as a tribute to the memory of the great fighting man were John l.. Sulli- van, former champion heavyweight: Billy Edwards, former champion light weight; Barney Aaron, trainer and for mer boxing partner of Harris; George Rooke, Jerry Sanders and Ed SIocomb. The services were read by the Rev Stephen Merritt and the little group of mourners listened with earnest atten- tion, afterward accompanying the body to Mount Olivet cemetery. Harris was 72 years old and was born in Eng land. He was an exceedingly clever man and good type of the old-tfme boxer. His last appearance in the ring was at benefit given for Jem Mace the famous English boxer. in New York several years ago. His last fight

 Fighting News. ....
 Butte, Mont, June 15.-Aurelio Her rera, the Mexican, and Kid Broad of Cleveland were scheduled for twenty rounds in Butte Saturday night, but bhe Mexican knocked Broad out clear at the beginning of the fourth round, Knocking him down three times.
 Butte, Mont, June 15-Sporting men Hooked to this town from all over the west Saturday afternoon to see Jimmy Britt, the lightweight champion of the west, battle twenty hard, slashing rounds to draw with Jack O'Keefe of Chicago.
 Tn spite of the fact that betting was even, the strong showing of O'Keefe proved a great surprise to the far west ern ring followers. Duncan McDon- ald was the referee. Britt was handled by his brother, Willie Britt, Nose La Fontaine and Doe Flynn. O'Keefe was looked after by his manager, Hart, Jack Daly and Otto Hale.
 The ring was pitched on the turf inside the racetrack here, and the men fought in the open air. Britt started in fast in the first two rounds, expect ing to win early, but the Chicago man met him blow for blow. Britt, annoy ed at this setback, fouled repeatedly, and was cautioned by the referee. Tn the third round the sheriff jumped into the ring and threatened to arrest Britt if he fouled again.
 With the exception of the eighth, the first ten rounds favored Britt. O'Keefe, however, made good in the last half of the battle, although many thought Britt should have received the decision. Britt did not fight up to the form he displayed against Frank Erne and on his showing against O,Keefe Saturday sports out here will be rather loafh. to back him against Joe Cans when they meet for the cham pionship.

 NEW YORK, June 15-Safe and uound, after a rather rough passage from Gourock, Scotland, of sixteen days and twenty-two hours, Sir Thom- as Lipton's latest challenger for the America's cup, the Shamrock IT,, is now lying at anchor off Tompkfnsville, N. r., in company with the steam yacht Erin, that had lowed her most of the way across the Atlantic, and by the Shamrock l., lowed by the British tug Cruizer. The 1856 men who manned the yachts and their conveys are all well, and there were no accidents to mar the passage.
 The weather was fairly good except on June 12, when the yachts were caught in a gale from the southeast, and while it blew very hard and 8 heavy sea was running the yachts ship ped very little water, and no damage was done. ff&
 After passing Sandy Hook lightship the yachts were saluted by every ves- sel that passed them all the way to quarantine. When they arrived there the crews of the yachts gave three cheers for each other as they stood lined up on deck Both yachts fly the pennant of the Royal Ulster Yacht club. 4 E~afQbs@ H7
 The new challenger is far hand somer craft than either the Shamrock [. or IT. She looks not unlike the Co., lumbia above the water line, and her beam seems greater than either of those yachts. Her captain, Robert Wringe, says she behaved splendidly under all conditions of weather during the passage across the Atlantic
 When the Erin was 100 miles east of Sandy Hook the telegraph operator on board the Erin succeeded in raising the Coney Island station. Captain Mathews then sent a message to Sir Thomas Lipton, saying:
 "Fleet arrived at Sandy Hook. Rough weather during voyage. Sham rocks all right"
 The reply from Sir Thomas received on board the Erin said:
 Delighted to receive news. Convey to all officers and men my best wishes. I hope they are all well and fit as fid- dles."
 santos-Dumont Air Ship at Races. PARIS, June 15.-W. K. Vanderbilt's horse, Biltmore, was fourth in the race for the Prix de Villeron at Long champs. During the racing M. Santos Dumont in his air ship No. 9 appeared over the course and went through a variety of maneuvers which evoked great enthusiasm from the crowd. The passage of two other balloons over the Longchamps race course at the same time added to the originality of the scene. M. Santos-Dumont finally de- scended unaided in the center of the course, where a great ovation was giv- en him. He then reascended and after executing second series of maneu- vers sailed away in the direction of Bagatelle.

EMANON CLUB GIVES
COMPLIMENTARY DANCE

The members of the Emanon club
have long maintained an enviable rep
utation as entertainers and in the
complimentary dance at the Watch
Tower last night that reputation was
even added to by one of the pleasant
est affairs given by the organization.
As the attendance was limited to 4
definite number, dancing was made all
the more enjoyable by the greater
space thus afforded on the floor. and
for the same reason there was a
greater informality and less of the
restraint usual where the attendance
is large.
At Q o'clock the program commenc-
ed with the grand march. Ogden's or
chestra playing, and succeeding it
followed the regular order of waltzes
and twO-steps, the monotony pleas
antly broken however. by a German
and progressive two-step, and these
diversions proved no small source of
enjoyment. The program concluded
at l o'clock.
The guests of honor were the mem
bers of the club who are home from
their universities and schools for the
summer. The patronesses were Mes
danes Whistler, Stoddard. West and
Worker. About fifty couples were
present.
