TIGERS LOSE BIG GAME.
HarUard VII Not Meet Princeton
at Baseball Neat Year.
Lny Telegraph 70 The TrIbune. ]

Princeton, n. J.. Dec 9--It was announced
here Tonight that Harvard has broken Off case
ball relations with Princeton for next season.
For the last five years Harvard and the Tigers
have played one game season alternately at
Cambridge and Princeton. The 0s game was to
have been played here.
The break came because of Harvard's refusal
to play an odd number of games and Prince
toms refusal of Harvard's proposition to play
two games each season with no arrangements
for third game in case of a tie Samuel ].
Reid, 'e6 the Tiger captain. went to Cambridge
to try to adjust the matter. On consultation
with the authorities he learned they were willing
TO sever all relations rather than play three
games
Captain Reid then proposed continuance OF the
old arrangement for several years past of one
game a season. but Harvard would not consent
to this either, demanding two games or none.
Last year Harvard defeated Princeton for the
first time in many years Since 1895 Princeton
has won sixteen out of twenty games played
with Harvard For the last few years the series
has been suppianted by annual game. near
ly all of which have resulted in Princeton VIC
tories
Captain Reds proposition for odd number
of games was to settle the question OF CHAM
pionsaip and thus avoid the discussion which
would result in case of tie Yale and Prince
ton usually have to play third game to decide
the tie. Considering the scores made by Har-
Harvsrd's idea of only two games a. season APP
pears rather puzzling. However, 1t is to be re
GREETED that there will be game here this
year and it is hoped that friendly relations may
be re-establshed in the near future Captain
Reid has done sill in his power to bring it about
but he did not feel justified in accepting Har-
Yards conclusive proposition, which would
surely result IN wrangiing over the champion
ship.
Boston. Dec s-Dr Edward H. Nichols. for sew
eraI years head coach of the Harvard baseball
team when seen tonight at his home In this city
stated that the relations between the Princeton
and Harvard baseball teams had not been severed,
but that the representatives Of both colleges had
agreed that the two ninea would not play each
other next season
There had been no misunderstanding, he said,
and nothing had arisen to prevent arrangement
for 1907 if should be considered desirable. Dr.
Nichols said that the old policy OF playing one
game each season had been unsatisfactory partic53
ulaTly in determining the championship at the END
of the season. Harvard he maintained. could not
play three games with Princeton and develop the
team properly for the games with Yale, with the
examinations taking up much Of the time.

THE WAR.

Russia has formally complained to
the powers of China's attitude in the
Eastern war. She alleges that China
has not maintained the strict and i'm
partial neutrality that she promised
at the outset, and threatens that un-
less China does so in the future Rus
STA will be compelled to act so as to
promote her own interests. The Rus
sian charges are that China permitted
the Japanese to cut out the Russian
torpedo boat Ryshetelni from the
harbor of Chefoo; that shiploads of
iron and supplies have gone to the
Japanese at Dainy from China: that
Chinese are serving under Japanese
officers in Manchuria; and that the
Chinese forces in Mongolia, este nsi-
bly, there to preserve neutrality, are
really operating SO as to embarrass
Russia,
1t will be recalled that the Amer
lean government, at the commence
ment of hostilities, secured from both
the belligerents an agreement that
they would limit the war operations
to Korea and Manchuria, in China.
provided that China would preserve
strict neutrality. Therefore Russia's
protest comes with greatest force to
US. Secretary Hay has inquired of
China what basis there is for Russia,s
complaint. Other steps are being
taken to learn how much truth there
is to the assertion that China is aiding
Japan. 1t is realized that if Russia
becomes convinced that China will
not maintain neutrality she will move
against China, in which case grave
complications may arise. The jap
anese declare that there Is no ground
for the Russian claim, and that it is
put forth in the hope of causing a sit
uation that may make Russia,s
chances more hopeful in the war. bv

An Explosion at Swanton.
The mixing building of the Robin
Hood Powder Company at the plant
about mile outside of Swanton blew
up Tuesday. The mixing room was
wrecked but no one was injured. The
men began work at the usual hour
and in the building destroyed three of
them were performing their usuaI
duties at the time of the explosion.
Their duties are to mix and granuIate
the powder. The real cause of the
accident is not definitely known but
it is supposed to have been the result
of friction in one of the granulators
The man who was operating the gran
ulator says he was working on the
powder when q streak of fame shot
across the powder in the box under
the sieve. He dropped his tools and
