PRINCETON.

AT luncheon rendered to the sixteen
competitors by the originator of the tourna-
ments Edward A Caswell. Yale, '66. at the
Yale Club, New York, Saturday afternoon,
steps were taken toward the resumption of
the international cable matches with Ok
ford and Cambridge. With that end In
view. committee of the four captains was
appointed. viz, G.. w. Tucker, jr., Column
bia. chairman: p. w. Bridgman. Harvard;
w. NJ Woodbury.. Yale; T. C. Mowry,
Princeton.
This committee was authorized to enter
at once into communication with the Eng
lish universities. and to issue a challenge
for the Rice shield. now on the other side, as
soon as there is assurance that arrange
ments can be carried out
Five matches have to date been con-
tested. and of these the Britishers won
three in 1922, 1900 and 1903; America won
one in 1902 while that of 1901 resulted In
tie In all probability this end of the sixth
match will take place at the West Side Re-
publican Club. New York.
Another matter discussed at the luncheon
Saturday was a meeting with the players
OF the Triangular College Chess League,
next Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday at the German Press Club, New
York, but inasmuch as the &C. H. Y. P"
contingent did not see their way clear to
remaining in New York until the arrival
of the Triangular men, it was voted to
postpone this contest until next year. when
the two annual tournaments will probably
be again held together during Christmas
week.
II was understood that the University of
Pennsylvania desired to arrange a match
on ten boards with the winner Of Saturdays
tournament. but no official word has been
received by any of the captains. This
event WILL however, not be held until Feb

Sheriff Barry left Cleveland for Albany
and New York last night. carrying with
him the papers for the arrest of Dr. Leroy
9. Chadwick, who is expected to Iand at
New York on the steamship Pretoria some
time Wednesday morning.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Chadwick
showed unusual nervousness. She finally
sent for the sheriff. with the statement
that she wanted to talk over the trip to
New York and the impending arrest OF her
husband The sheriff spent almost an hour
with the woman in her cell. during which

member that he Is innocent Of any wrong

entered her jail quarters. During the hour
that the sheriff was talking with her MRS:
to DR.. Chadwick. To the sheriff the wo-
man deplored the indictment against her
husband and said 1t was all an awful mis-
take. This is the worst thing that has
happened during all the trouble of the last
few weeks" said Mrs. Chadwick. Il never

1t has been arranged for relatives Of Miss
Mary Chadwick to meet her at the hotel.
Whether she will remain In New York or
come on to Cleveland with her father Is
not yet settled. It is thought, however,
that she will stay in New York with rela-
tives and friends for a few days at least.
II suppose 1t will be q severe blow to
DR.. Chadwick to be met with papers for
his arrest upon his arrival In this country
said the sheriff. II intend to do everything
possible to ease the situations as much as
the circumstances will permit for both DR..
Chadwick and his daughter.

roDAY's SCRAP.
Whistler and Crowley Meet at Rock
Spring This Afternoon.

spring Vn1S Afternoon.
One of the holiday attractions today will
be flfteen-reund boxing bout at the Rock
Spring Club on the Conduit road between
Ed. Crowley. the popular Washington boy.
and Billy Whistler, the old-time feather
and lightweight who gave Kid Sullivan the
hardest fight in his career and has defeated
some Of the best men in the ring. Crowley
has trained unusually hard for the fight
and is well within the weight limit of 1873
pounds prescribed in the articles. He has
shown much speed In his boxing and his
trainers can testify that he has a dangerous
punch that should cause such an expe-
rienced man as Whistler to take great care
in his methods of conducting the fight. To
Whistler the fight Is all important because
he is anxious to make a good showing at
ter his long lay of. Whistler said last night
that he would leave Baltimore this morn
ing and would be In the best possible con-
dition. He was looking splendid and an
nounced that he expected to make 1t short
hight by giving Crowley soporific dose of
right swing before the affair had gone
more than two or three rounds. 1t was
confident declaration. but those who have
seen Crowley take punishment will not be
inclined to place too much reliance in the
Baltimorean's words.
Both Myers and Baker. who are to go
eight rounds In the preliminary, are ready
for the fray and each is so sure he will win
that he has backed himself literally. There
is as much interest in this bout as in the
main affair. and when 1t starts at pm.
1t Is expected that these boys will have as
many friends in the house as the princi-
pals.

Of B. F. Biggs, North Wheeling. and a
singular feature was that there was no gas
piped into this building. and the accumu-

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Floral King Easily Won the Christmas
Handicap.

The Christmas handicap was the feature
of the racing at the New Orleans track
Saturday afternoon. Floral King. the ac-
knowledged champion of the west at a
mile or under, was returned the winner.
He set his own pace and was never headed,
winning nicely from Gregor K. The Hay
man pair, De Reszke and Orthodox, were
the favorites. The former made a game
effort. but tired In the race home, and fin
ished in the ruck. The victory of Floral
King was a popular one. the vast crowd in
the grand stand cheering the Gardiner colt
from the time he passed the finishing line
until the floral collar was placed around his
neck and he was led away to his stable.
Thirty-three books laid the prices in the
betting ring, which Is by far the largest
number that has ever operated at the New
Orleans track. There was an exceptionally
large crowd out. and there was business
enough for fully twenty more bookmakers.
The weather was very warm and the track
in excellent shape.

other reason why they should not celebrate
It. Christians attach sacred memory to
this holiday, and for Jews to celebrate the
festival when they have no regard for its
sacredness would disgrace the Christian
festival.
Il would consider It, an offense II Chris
tians attempted to celebrate the Jewish
Passover or the first night Of the Pass
over. merely for curiosity or for entertain
ment. 1t Is certainly wrong for any Jews
to celebrate Christmas in their homes by
the illumination Of trees. merely for the
entertainment Of their children. when they
do not pay any regard to the underlying
teachings Of the festival. and when they
not only ignore but entirely reject the
teaching OF the alleged miraculous birth Of
Jesus Of Nazareth.
But I see no reason why we may not
gladly welcome Christians who celebrate
their festival In their own manner
Let each religion observe It's own festi-

from the tap of the gong to the finish.
Not once did Jig have a look in, but he
managed to stick out the fifteen rounds by
clever stalling and blocking. He took ter
rible punishment in every round. Stone,
who has not been in the ring for over q
year. was formerly regarded as a very
clever fighter. Saturday night he fought
like novice. Once or twice he showed a
flash of his old-time form.
In the first round after two minutes of

Briggs made desperate effort to finish
MIN and Just before the gong sounded a

corner very strong in the third and whipped
