THE GRIDIRON
THE PRINCETON
 YALECAME
Enthusiastic Footballists Think Princeton Shows Up Best For
 Saturdays Game.

If one were to base his opinions on scores he would be willing to wager heavily that Princeton would defeat Yale next Saturday; Princeton de- feated Dartmouth AZ to 0; Dart mouth trimmed Amherst 4 to o, while Yale only trimmed Amherst 10 to 0. What chance for Yale" some would say. But turn to the West Point game. Yale defeated West Point 10 to 6, Princeton on Saturday won 8 to O. Yale made a touchdown and also kicked a field goal Princeton made all her points by kicking; one drop kick by Har- Ian and goal from placement by the man of the mighty toe, Coon- ey. Princeton may have held back, not caring to show its true strength, but If she were really holding back to deceive her coming opponent, why should she have played so fiercely at times, one of her players being put out of the game? The player was Rulon- Miller, and Weeks of West Point went with him. Each was endeavor- ing to put his feet through the other fellows slats. Only twice during each half did Princeton make first down against the Army and the sol diers did equally we'll in rushing the pigskin. Perhaps the Tigers did not use their best efforts, but was mask ing their strength; If so, they can give splendid imitation of an elev- en doing its utmost to win. Yale did not show very brilliant form against Brown, although the early part of the second half showed what the blue can do when 1t Is thoroughl. aroused. In the first few minutes of the latter period the New Haven eleven went at their opponents and threw them aside as if they were pigm!es. making touchdown in four minutes. This was the only time during the contest that the Eli elev- en showed first class form Still the coaches seemed to think that before Saturday the eleven will be ready to give Princeton real battle. Har- yard did the best work of the Big Four on Saturday Her game with the Indians showed much improve ment over that with the Browns week ago, and the exhibition of the Harvard team boomed the stock of the Cambridge team considerably. The Indians with all kinds of tricks and with lightning speed were un- able to do anything against Harvard and were not dangerous during the game.
 Pennsylvania, although 1t did not defeat Lafayette. showed much bet ter form than in it's last game two weeks ago with the Indians and has good chance of defeating Michigan next Saturday.

BOWLING AT CASINO.
These Popular Alleys Were Busy Last
 Night.

The duck pinners from Meriden were over here in force last evening and they went to the Casino building There was a merry time there last night. as there is every night on those alleys. It is the best place in the city to enjoy a good game of the duck pins or the big pins and that Ia the reason the alleys are crowded every night. The game last night between the Meridenites and the Ca sinos was a closely fought one and Meriden was beaten only after struggle. The visitors said they liked the alleys so we'll that they would return later for another game. Proprietor Curtis is making strenu- ous efforts to have the Casino alleys become the popular ones of the city and state and the coming tournament will be one of the means he has adopted. The scores of last night were as follows:

THE PUGILISTS
KID BROAD IN
 SWIM AGAIN
English Sporting Club Will Offer Purse For O'Brien and
 Gunner" Moir

Kid Broad is out of jail Last night he was back on Broadway for the first time since election night, when he was arrested for stabbing a man in the crowd on Broadway with @ tin horn.
 Yesterday in the. court of special sessions he was fined $25 or given the alternative of spending ten days in the booby hatch.
 Nowadays s25 looks as big to the former ring champion as a million and when he heard the fine imposed he started to walk back to the cell without saying word Some of his friends made up the money later and the Kid was let out.
 Broad fully expected to stay in jail for the ten days. When he was ar rested bail was fixed at $1,0 ,000. Gus Ruhlin, who has long been a clos, chum of Broad's, has many times that amount in real estate in New York city, and 1t would not have cost him cent to have gone on the bail bond but he refused to come across. Ruh- lin has long had a reputation for be. ing very careful, but Broad was sur prised when his friend did not come to the front and get him out of hook, when no real money was necessary.
 Others, men who had profited to the extent of thousands when Broad was in his prime. were appealed to to go on the bond. but not a finger was lifted to help him out of trouble until the minimum fine was imposed. and then that amount was put up in the nature of a, loan to the one- time pugilist.
 When Broad was arraigned in court he denied hitting the man with horn, but said that he struck him in self-defense with his fist. He said he had been cornered by gang. When asked to show his injuries he felt his head, and then said:
 They hit me on the head. but If I was hit there with club 1t would not leave mark"
 You're lucky" said Justice Teller in sentencing the Kid. You ought to get month."
 When the Kid was asked how 1t came that he was unable to get bail for the small amount fixed he said: 'I don't know. thought my friends would have no trouble in raising a thousand for bond. Why, I often spent that much in one night"

 Claude Ritchey. of Pittsburg. leads the second basemen with .96G per cent made in 1J1 games. Abe Hum- mel, of Brooklyn. who played in a games, is second with 953 per cent. Sammy Strang is eighth on the list with .944 per cent made In g games. "Whitey' Alperman and Billy Gilbert are tied in ninth place, with .94O per cent. Alperman played in l03 games and Gilbert in 90.
 Harry Arndt. of St Louis, leads the third basemen, with .965 per cent. IF played in 65 games. Arthur Devli.f ls fourth with .944 per cent in 14S games. Devlin accepted 626 chances. In this the Georgetown boy was sec ond only to Dave Brain, of Boston. who accepted 529 chances. Doctor Casey is twelfth on the list of third sackers, with .919 per cent in 149 games.
 Jimmy Sheckard of Chicago. and Roy Thomas. of Philadelphia, lead the regular outfielders with .9s6 per cent. Sheckard played fin 149 games and Thomas in 142 The standing of the local outfielders follows: Si Sey- mour, fourteenth. with 972 per cent; Spike shannon and Billy Maloney, sixteenth. with 966 per cent; Heine Batch. twentieth. with .964: Roger Bresnahan. twenty-second. with .9i3: Hummell. twenty seventh. with .052: Harry Lumley. twenty-nlnth. with .949: George Browne. thirty-fourth. with .a34; Mike Donlln. thlrty-sixth. with .920. and Jack Mccarthy, thirty eighth, with 924 per cent.
 Spike Shannon made unique rec ord in playing in more games than any team in the league played. Spike took part in 156 games. while the played only l52. and the St Louis Cardinals. with which team shannon began the season. played 14 games. The explanation Is that the Cardinals played off several postponed games before shannon was sold to New York and the Giants played on all of theirs after he joined the team.
 The percentage of won games Ed Reulbach of Chicago. was the premier pitcher of the league with .s25 per cent of victories.
