Princeton Tigers nt New York Put
 In Great Football.

NEW YORK. Jan. 15. - Princeton's s lively band of ''socker," or association. football players came to town and showed the football followers of the metropolis a thing or two about this style of game that had not been expect. cd of Old Nassau's sons. ia
 They were pitted against the eleven of the Staten Island Football club. one of the strongest teams in this vicinity. and. though they did not win. theirs was virtual victory in that they pre- vented the islanders. who up till then h;sl met with but one reverse during a most active season. from scoring sin gle goal.
 The result of the match. contested at the Cove. West New Brighten, was a tie. and the honors of the game were fairly evenly divided. the collegians do- ing the better work in the first half and the home team bracing up considerably in the second. The tigers plainly showed the excellent effects of constant prsc- tice and efficient coaching. and their play during the opening period was ths fastest seen in this vicinity since the in- ternational game played by the Pii- grims against New York last October.

 This was Battling Nclson's answer at Philadelphia to the report that a burlesque actress in Butte, Mon, had sued him for breach of promise. Nel- son admitted that n few days ago that a New York lawyer had written to him asking for an explanation re- garding Miss Howe, and he says he tore up the letter. ,....
 You know me- he said. Why. I don't even think of these painted pets. They're all right from the outside; they look fine to the guys down in front. but when you get back of the scenes, and get next to the fact that they are four-fushing-why. you wake up. and there's nothing doin'-that Is. if you're wise; but if you're d sucker you take them out and buy wine and chop suey and all those things, and when you come out of it there is some referee counting ten over you, and you're dead one.
 'This Lizette Howe is the former wife of the comedian. Sam Howe, 1 understand. I box with Sam often, and if it'll do her any good I'll lace over a few hard ones. but that's the best I'll ever do for her.

MACK IS HUSTLING.

Connie Mack has just made deal by which Pitcher Tom Hughes. who was with Washington last year. will play with the Philadelphia Athletics in future. Hughes first attracted at- tention with the Boston Americans. hut after he had been instrumental in landing the pennant for Collins's men Ee was traded to the New York Amer jeans. with whom he did not score much of success. and was finally handed over to Washington. together with Pitcher Wolfe. in exchange for Al Orth. Last year Hughes pitched fine bah. particularly against tho Clevelands. and Mack soon had him in his eye. Hughes will fit in nicely on the Philadelphia team. especially il Waddell does not come to hand. Mack has also secured Pitcher Baum from Los Angeles.

Higgins will graduate from Brown in June and will join the Quakers imme- diately after.
