PRINCETON IS SURPRISED
IS HELD TO sCoRELESS GAME
BY SYRACUSE.
TIGERS Goal Threatened-Cunnin
ham and Read Save Game for
Old Nassau.

PRINCETON, n. j., October IA
scoreless game was the outcome of a
desperate encounter on the gridiron this
afternoon between Princeton and SYRIA
cuSe.
Surprised at the outset by the appear
ance of an eleven which was superior
in weight and attack, Princeton was
lucky to escape defeat. Syracuse threat
ened repeatedly to cross the Princeton
goal line, while the only opportunity for
"a Princeton score came in the first few
minutes of play, when Cunningham
dropped back for a try at goal from the
field from the 3O-yard line. The pass
was high and he was delayed in getting
the kickoff, SO that it fell short of the
posts.
Defense Waivers.
With Capt. Horn of Syracuse carrying
the ball Princeton's defense wavered
and twice the visitors were on their OPP
ponents 15-yard line. In the first instance
a tumble enabled the home team to punt
out of danger and the second time Prince
ton held for downs. Capt. Dillon. who
went into the contest near the end of
the secand half, and Tibbott. who re-
neVed Reao, were beginning 10 reverse
conditions when the call of time interrupt
ed their efforts.
That Syracuse did not score and win
the game was due to the plucky secondary
defense of Cunningham and Read, who
brought down Waugh. Stein and Dudley
when they had penetrated the line. Prince
ton was outclassed. but successfully de-

proved Intellectual.
The rain which fell internationally made
accurate passing an uncertainty, and few
Harvard passes were tried.

 Handy With His Fists

Terry's In the third he fought fiercely and pounded Loughrey back over every rch of the canvass.
 Back they went into the fourth. Ter ry ran out of his corner and cracked Lougrhey on the jaw. The blow stag gered him and as he reeled Terry caught him another. He went hyins clear across the ring. Terry was right on his heels but could not drop his man. They milled all around the ring and then Loughrey tried long right handler on the jaw which landed Terry on the flat of his back. He got up on all fours and looked pitifully towards his corner. Joe Humpries tossed wet sponge full in his face. It brought him to his feet, but before Loughrey could plant a blow the bell rang.
 In the fifth Terry came up fresh and forced the fighting with the Philadei- phia boy, taking it and coming back for more. Terry was very much blown when he went to his corner.
 He came. out for the sixth and seemed to want to keep close. He stalled and kept at close quarters most of the time. When the bell rang he was whaling away in his old time style.

Philadelphia. May 17.-(Special.)-Terry AIcGovern of Brooklyn is still a great fighter. Before the National Athletic club here Saturday night he gave Young Loughery a fearful beating.
 Young Corbett was right when he pre- dicted that the little Brooklyn whirlwind had recovered his punch. He fought like the old Terry. He tired at times. but never was in danger
 Loughery, in his usual bulldog fashion, camped on the Brooklyn boy, but for his pains the harder he was hit. Terry knocked him cold in the second with a terrific right hand swing for the jaw. Loughery got up with blood trickling down the side of his face and went after Terry again. The little ex-champion banged him on the chin again and Loughrey went down again.
 The fighters went all over the ring. Terry pumped right and left handlers into Loughrey. McGovern was winded from his own eXertions and Loughrey never changed his gait for a second.

New York. May 17.-1t has been praoti- cally decided that there will be only one American crew in the Olympic regatta at London this summer, and this will be an eight-oared crew. This will be sad seeing Champion Bennett of Springfield Mass, in the hunt for the sculls. At one time there was talk of sending not only Bennett, who is net by far the greatest amateur sculler that we have had in years, but also two local men. Of course there is a reason for the failure of the committee in charge of the selection of the American representation to send some things more tha nan eight-oared shell crew. Lack ot funds is given as an ex- rlanation. It makes a pretty decisive ieason, too
 It may be here said there is consld- erable dissatisfaction over the decision of the committee to have the crew com posed entirely of college men. It IS held that men like Sheppard Fuessel, Titus, Greer Hoban and one or two from i'hil- adelphia, would be a great power in that shell no matter what college men were

American Horses Cause

London, May 17.-With an American horse winning the Grand National an other taking the Two Thousand Guineas and a third the One Thousand Guineas. the British turf is beginning to sit up and take notice. and the shadow of an- other American invasion Is being cast across the race tracks.
 And 1t is feared worse Is to come, for the American Norman III, Mr. l1zlmonts winner of the Two Thousand Guineas. ia now first choice for the derby. while MT Croker's Rhodora, a granddaughter of the great Hanover. is looked on as the most likely winner of the Oaks If Bel mont should by any chance win the Derby, and Croker the Oaks, there surely would be weeping and wailing, to say nothing of "gnashing of teeth" on the part of English turfmen.
 Not since the days of Iroquois and Parole have American horses created such a sensation on this side of the

water. When Parole was sent across in the 7os to win tse Newmarket handicap from Isonomy tho City and Suburban, the Metropolitan stakes, the Great Che- shire handicap and the Epson gold cup. he was regarded as a freakish wonder which had sprung from mediocre stock. When. few years later Iroquois was taken to England where he won, among other races. the Derby and St. Leger English turfmen were amazed
 It was noticeable that soon after Irouuols performances the hue and cry which ultimately almost completely drove American owners. trainers and jockeys from the British turf developed It would not be surprising if the Derby falls to Norman III, and the Oaks to Rhodora. if there was not another great anti American shout. With all his vaunted love for fair play, John Bull is not a graceful loser. He is prone to think that no one can beat him at any of his own special games, save by trick and de- vice."

Mobile, May 17-Deputy Sheriff Nugent this afternoon arrested IS ball players and Umpire Pfenninger on charges sof playing ball on Sunday. Bond yas immediately provided and the game proceeded without Interruption. The arrests of the Mont gomery and Mobile players came between the first and second innings and no one In the immense crowd knew of the occur renee until after the game.
 The trial has been set for June l2, next when the same teams are scheduled to play here again. More than passing interest attaches to the playing of the game today, because of the fact that ban ners were paraded through the crowd of 5000, making Sunday ball a political Is. sue in the primaries here tomorrow
 The arrest today Is the second for al- legged violation of the Sunday baseball law this month, and the local association announced tonight that another game will be played next Sunday when Atlanta and Mobile are scheduled to clash.

New Orleans May 17.-(SpeoiaL) )-sup- porting their pitcher in fine style and hit- ting in punches. the Pelleans played rings around Harry Vaughns Birmingham Barons this afternoon. The big Sunday crowd, which usually packs the entire grandstand and bleachers, was smaller than usual, the disgraceful occurrence of Saturday and the fact that New Dr. leans was meeting a tail-end ball club both being partially responsible for the falling off. Umpire Johnny o Brien, with numerous patches of courtplaster deco rating his face, officiated. President Kav- anaugh sends Secretary Clark Miller here tomorrow to investigate the O'Bren- Baxter scrap, but message to Manager Charley Frank asking that the local club assist the Southern league officials in procuring legal advice, etc, was received, O'Brien at the same time be directed to continue to work by umpirng the series between Birmingham and the locals until the investigation is finished this week.
 Bill Bartley had it on Ginger Clarke from the break of the barrier. The vs- itors couldn't connect with the ex-Phila- delphia American in the first two periods, but by the end of the second inning the Pelcans had poked in what proved to be the winning run.
 If the Vaughnites couldn't clout, they heldsd fast "Buttermilk' Meek muffed foul in the first inning after chasing it close up to the stand, but Pitcher Clarke made the only error which was of any consequence, and he showed his old-time form in the next four chapters, allowing only one hit during that time.
