BALTIMORE, Md, March 27.-Amid
the Kisses of the crowd. Referee Nc
Gnigan last night declared Harry Lewis
the winner over Terry Martin after
one of the hottest ffteen-round fights
ever seen in this city. During the en-
tire fight the two pugilists were pepper
ing each other with blows, while the
crowd rooted madly and urged them on.
In the first round Lewis came along
with a rush that seemed to mean Mar
tins finish. Near the end of the round
he put Martin down for the count Of
nine with a left swing to the jaw.
But Martin came back. and in the
next round assumed the lead, forcing
Lewis to take the defensive.
From hat round on. the fight was
Very even. with plenty of give n take
blows in every round. Martin was the

PENN BASKETBALL

PHILADELPHIA, March 2T.-The
almost simultaneous Withdrawal OF
Princeton and Yale probably sounds
the d~eath-knell of the intercollegiate
basketball league. This leaves only
Cornell, Columbia and Pennsylvania OF
the six teams which formerly made ur
the fourishing league, Harvard hav-
ing Withdrawn n year ago. SYRIA
cuse, Dartmouth, Brown, Wesleyan and
Georgetown are eager to get into the
league and a strong organization
might be effected with three of these
colleges to fill up the gap. All support
strong teams and they would be worthy
rivals.
Financial considerations will prob
ably prohibit any such scheme, how
ever, as these teams would not prove
the drawing card that Yale, Harvard
and Princeton do. Rather than so
ahead in such a league, Pennsylvania
viii in all probability shortly withdraw
and the league will be officially declared
dead.
This will make the situation very
similar to that in football and base
ball. Each team win play it's W
schedule and the question of which is
champion under these conditions must
be largely a matter of opinion.
The withdrawal of Yale. Princeton
and Harvard may be a step toward the
triplicate alliance which has been so
much talked of. 1t is believed that
when this does come to pass it will
first be tried out on the minor sports.
