Princeton-Harvardg game. This game, of
course. would be played at Cambridge the
first year. Naturally Harvard would in
sist that she retain the honor of ending
the season with Yale. which in 1908 would
be on November 90. The Yale-Princeton
game would be played as usual on Mo-
vember 15. This would make ii. neces-
sary for Princeton and Harvard to get
toget Their on November 1 or November 8.
Either date is unsatisfactory for the
reason that Cornell must be played by
Princeton prior to the Harvard game. II
Cornell should be played on the last Sat
urday in October. as this year, and Har-
ward the week following. the Tigers would
not have time to recover for the Har-
ward struggle. Similarly If two weeks
should elapse between the Princeton-Cor-
nell and Princeton-Harvard games the
Tigers would have but one week to re-
cuperate for Yale. If Princeton must
make choice in this respect, she will
undoubtedly meet Cornell and Harvard a
week apart and have two weeks left for
the Yale game. 1t is evident that this
arrangement will be unsatisfactory at
best and will be a tremendous drain on
the strength of the Princeton eleven. NO
other team in the country has ever tried
to meet three such powerful elevens as
Yale. Harvard and Cornell and since two
of these three. the only ones met this
year. defeated Princeton. the Tigers are
certainly taking an immense risk by try
ing to meet all three in 1905
Another thing which must certainly
weigh heavily against Princeton is that
the attendance at the New Jersey insu-
tuition is only 1900. and instead of grow
ing each year this year has Shown de-
crease. Yale has an eligible athletic
body of some $500 men. while that OF
Harvard is considerably in excess of
1000. With a remarkable team Prince
ton might occasionally come through this
test victorious. but to expect the Tigers
to do this year after year in the face of
such handicaps is unthinkable. In view
of these things the college world will
await with unusual interest the details of
this remarkable alliance.

KELLEY PLEASED
WITH HIS TRADES
Thinks That the Boston Ma
tionaIs Have Been Greatly
Benefited by the Recent
Deals With New York.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BOSTON. Mass, December Phase
ball trades very frequently have one
happy result. AS rule both managers
feel that they have done the best for
themselves and their teams until after
experience has taught them to the con-
trary or confirmed them in their belief.
joe Kelley is no exception to the rule.
He is confident that he has helped Boston
by the exchange made with New York,
and bases his arguments on the following
conclusions: ''Tenney is one Of the finest
players in the business, but Tenney knows
that for his own sake he should play
elsewhere. Players realize, these days es-
pecially, tnat after they have played in
one city for a certain length of time they
should move. Tenney will do admirable
work for New York, but he would have
been of comparatively little value in a
Boston uniform again.
'.Bridwell is a fine little fellow. but he
is not strong batter. l anew him in
Cincinnati, and found out there that his
legs are bad, which still further handi-
caps his batting. Needham's catching tai
emit was not Of much value to Boston. In
exchange we get McGann for Tenney at
first base. Comparing TenneyS best work
with McGann's, Tenney would have the
advantage, of course, but comparing Ten
ney in Boston uniform with McGann in
Boston uniform, Mccain is of far greater
value to me.
Mccain is a very clever first base
man, who will unquestionably do better
at Boston than he has done for the past
year or two at New York. He is a fine
hitter, and am satisfied with the change.
Comparing Bowerman with Needham, l
believe that the former is all to the good.
Ferguson did not have much of chance
at New York with Mathewson, McGin-
nifty. Ames and Wiltse filling the star
parts. but he pitched eight games for the
Giants last season and won some Of them
a record which looks as though he had
something in him.
"Dahlen began to slack I'D in his work
for Brooklyn, but played brilliant ball
when sent to New York. If he has begun
to slack at New York it is only sign
that the time has come to move, and
now that he has moved he may be ex-
pected to be star once more. Bowerman
had certainly outlived his usefulness in
New York but is one of the best players
Boston could have got. Browne has
proved himself a corking good right
fielder, and is known to be a fast man.
All of these five men will be used regu-
larly, and it seems to me that I have by
this streak of good fortune secured in a
moment just the nucleus needed to make
Boston a first-division team beyond
doubt

HILDRETH HOPEFUL.
Looks for Recovery Of Uncle and
Montgomery.

NEW YORK. December 21.-when Sam
Hdildreth left here the latter part of the
last racing season. bound for California,
he had big string of horses which had
been raced throughout the season here.
and also a number OF yearlings. which he
purchased at the sales. In his stable was
the grand colt Uncle. for which he paid
John E. Madden $4,000; also the colts
Meelick. Montgomery. Gene Russell and
other fair horses that looked like bread
winners. After his arrival on the coast
hts horses were not in the best of condi-
ton and Hildreth was very much afraid
that his winter racing season would not
be very successful.
Now he Is feeling quite cheerful as the
table is beginning to round to. Uncle's
injured hoof is growing sound. and the
seat OF the injury has been reached by a
pairing knife. Several days ago the hoof
was cut into and the bad part pared away
until good. sound horn was reached back
Of It, Then Hildreth's fears gave way to
Joy. and now he feels that all he has to
DO Is to wait until Uncle grows a new
hoof and the lameness that has caused so
much anxiety may not return, unless from
an unfortunate new injury.
In speaking OF the matter he said: TITS
case exactly similar to that affecting
t-"hesney. The trouble is right up along
side ~ the frog. but If give the colt
enough time II won't get to be such a bad
case as that of McChesney. After Durnell

when his hoof was bad. instead OF giving
him plenty of time to grow n new one. and
the bad matter ate right into the crown of

galloping early in January and may be
able to get him ready to race In the Cali

Jockey Miller's Winning Mounts.

NEW YORK, December 21.-Before

best jockey. Will perhaps have handled
800 winners Up to about week ago he

a whole his saddle work has not been so
good as in 1906. when he hung UP a

probability Miller will not do so we'll in

and may be so heavy when next season

Foot Ball Stars to Leave College.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. December 21.-
The wholesale graduation of foot ball
stars that will affect Yale, Harvard and
Princeton has caused widespread specu-
lation as to where these teams are to
get material to fill the gaps that will
be left. Harvard graduates nine of the
men who played against Yale; Yale loses
eight of those who played against Har-
ward and Princeton, and Princeton loses
seven of her eleven. Pennsylvania and
Cornell also suffer losses. The most seri-
Gus difficulty that confronts Yale and
Harvard is to find quarterback. as each
loses its quarterback. Tad Jones and
Dimes graduate from, Yale and Newhall
and Starr from Harvard.

Columbia to Row Harvard.

BOSTON, Mass, December 21.-Varsity
Fights of Columbia and Harvard are now
practically certain to row race on the

Harvard would not consent to this plan.
Columbia agreed to the Charles river
course, rather than to permit the race to
fall through.
