RACES AT JAMAICA.
Four Favorites In Front Rewarded the
Wise Betters.

In spite of the storm, which turned the
track into a sea Of sloppy mud and made
the big stands and betting ring the most
uncomfortable places in the world. nearly
5000 regulars, including several hum
dred women, went to Jamaica yesterday
afternoon. The rain fell In sheets a great
er part of the time and the jockeys were
drenched to the skin. -Four favorites were
victorious however. which partly made up
for the discomfort Of the crowd.
What turned out to be the most sensa-
tional race Of the day was the third event.

TIGERS, ELIa1B1L1rY RULES
Condition Not to Disqualify Athletes
Until After Two Trials.

An important change In Princeton's eligi-
biiity rules was made known yesterday at
the university. In the future an athlete
with one condition can continue to compete
until he has had two opportunities to re-
move 1t. whereas heretofore he would have
been barred The second trial for mid
year condition does not come until the fol-
lowing fsll, which gives both base ball and
track men the chance to compete In the pre-
ceding spring.
Prof. Howard McClanahan, acting chair
man Of the faculty committee on outdoor
sports, made the following statement:
The faculty has recently SO revised the
rules regarding examinations as to reduce
the number OF opportunities given to a stu
dent to remove his condition, and the fac
ulty committee on outdoor sports has there
fore decided not to bar from athletic con-
tests q student who has only one condition
until he has had two opportunities to re-
move that condition.
The only members of the base ball team
affected by this are Purnell, third base. and
Germany, shortstop, who have one condi-
ton each. A member Of the faculty said:
Princeton has always maintained high
er eligibility standard than the other large
universities. and even this new action can
not be regarded as q stacking OF the rope.
The faculty has made It easier to incur con-
dittons, therefore the athletes should have
an extra chance to remove them.
