MAY BE SOME CHANGES. If Yale. Harvard and Princeton Form
 an Alliance.

Should there be another triple alli- ance formed between Yale, Harvard and Princeton, which now seems prob- able, some important changes in the athletic schedules of the three uni versailles would result. It would mean doubtless that the representatives would again meet in football, basket ball, track events and various other lines of sport in which the students of all three are interested. Up to this time, for several years, Yale has met both, but Harvard and Prince ton have not competed except in baseball It might also mean that the Tigers would compete with the other two in the annual boat races on the Thames, now that Mr Carnegie has given them a lake on which to practice rowing, and in view of the recent formation of Princeton Uni versity Rowing association. It is de- clared that both Yale and Harvard have been canvassed by Princeton men as to their willingness to allow the Tigers" to row annually at New London, and both have given fa- vorable response.
 Not till Coach Roper of Princeton visited Harvard just before the Yale Harvard game in November were the sessions begun looking toward the new pairing of university rivals. The scheme is far from completion, but indications are that before another season a general understanding in all branches of sport will be arrived at by the trio.

CYCLE TEAMS TIED FOR LEAD
New Conditions Act With Telling Ef-
 feet on Racers.

New York, Dec. 12.-New conditions which govern the six day bicycle race in progress in Madison Square Gar den are acting with more telling ef- feet than had been expected. With the possibility of collusion reduced to minimum and a pumped out rider unable to avoid losing lap through an accidental" fall. the chaff has been ruthlessly sifted from the wheat.
 So sweepingly memorable have the conditions proved that but nine of the original sixteen teams remain to con- tinue the struggle. Of these Folger of Brooklyn and his partner, Moran of Boston, and Rutt of Germany and his mate. Stol of Holland, stood out conspicuously, being tied for first place at the end of 1.196 miles. A lap behind them were Krebs and Van derstuyft, Georget and Dupre. Logan and Bargett. Downing and Downey and Calvin and Wiley. Three laps away came Lawson and Macdonald and four laps in the rear were yanoni and Breton.

 New Orleans, Dec. F. Continued cold weather, but an improved track, were served patrons at the Fair grounds race course. The going was good along the inner rail- and only in spots was it heavy enough to bother any but those horses that are fitted only by pasteboard track. In the best finish of the day Avaunteer won the fifth race by nose from the fla vorite, Sally Preston, who finished barely nose in front of Royal Onyx. . Alma Dufour won the fourth race by ten lengths. The winners follow:
 First Race-Husted, first; Investor, second; Freebooter, third.
 Second Race.-Divorcee, first; Sus- sex, second; Osmunda, third.

IS ONE-THIRD OWNER.
Bannon Buys Interest in the Bing-
 hamton Club.

Jimmy Ramon. who made several bids for the Springfield base ball team, but whose figures failed to quite reach those asked by Manager Dan O'Neil, has at last acquired an interest in team. He will be thlrd owner of the Binghamton club in the New York State league. Ramon will be the field manager of the club and have charge of the team when it is on the field and on the road. He will also play left field on the team. Associated with Bannon in the ownership of the club are M. S. Roach and J. H. Mooney, who pur- chased it from F. F. Hammond at the close of last season. The asso- citation will be incorporated with a capital stock of $10,000, of which $7,O00 will be common stock and S3,000 preferred stock.

NO CINCH FOR SHAMOKIN.
His Base Ball League Encounter:
 Rival in Amateur Circuit.

Bloomsburg, Pa, Dec 12.-In all probability it will not be Shamokin Kelly's Central Pennsylvania league requiring paid teams that will occupy the limelight in base ball circles iI this section, but an amateur league composed of towns along the Sus- quehanna river. Such move is ai- ready on foot and bids fair to be a success. Because of the proximity of the various towns in the league, travelling expense account would be reduced to a minimum. The league will be conducted on the same lines as the ones operated on the west branch last season, where they had good base ball at small cost.

Johnny Summers, of England, will be the next man to fight Chicago's wonder, Packey Mcfarland. Mac Farland is anxious to get chance to meet Battling Nelson and will pass up everything else should the Dane signify his willingness to sign articles. And even in that event MacFarland will agree to box Summers imme- diately after the Nelson bout.
 Mcfarland and Summers will meet at Milwaukee before Tom Andrews Badger Athletic club. Though no articles have as yet been signed and no forfeits to bind the match have been posted, Harry Gilmore, after re- ceiving satisfactory terms from the Milwaukee club gave them his prom ise that Packey's next fight would he with Summers. unless, of course, Nel- son comes through with an offer to fight.
 Nelson is the man we are after and we will not quit until We get him in the ring. Of course, we will not lay around and wait for him to say he is Ttdui- ht VIII ldht Dh any lEuN- weight in the busineSs-that is. if a suitable offer is made us, but we will eventually get Nelson" said Harry Gilmore twill We fight Cans? Yes. but not just yet. Packey has not had enough experience to tackle such q past master at the g9me. and it would be criminal on my part to pit him against the coIored fighter Just now no one can beat Cans. but I firmly be- lieve that Packey will be the man to wrest the title away from Joe later in the game"
