YALE BASKETBALL REFORM.
None But College Teams to Be Met
Next Season.

The action taken by the members
of the Intercollegiate Basketball
league in suspending the operations
OF the organization for at least sea-
son meets with approval at Yale. 1t
Is regarded as step in the right di-
rection for the reform of the game
which Yale has helped by some ac-
lions OF her own. The Yale Daily
News says of it:
AS the league existed the menu
lbers were not allowed to play any OF
the colleges in the New England
league, which consequently resulted
in forcing the teams to fill up their
schedules partly with various athletic
associations and Y. M. C. A. teams.
organizations which do not play the
same sort of game as the colleges.
The financial arrangement was also
unsatisfactory to some of the men,
bers and as a result the game in one
or two of the colleges was on an un-
stable basis. ........
Furthermore, Harvard has not
been member of the league for some
signified their intention of with
drawing, thus weakening the organ
ization materially. The suggestions
in regard to changes in the rules will
also have the right effect if carried
out.
THE Yale association itself has
taken further individual action in
the line of reform The Christmas
trip, one of the most harmful factors
has been given up altogether. 1t has
also been decided that the schedule
for next year will be made up entire
ly of college games and no athletic
associations or teams of that class
will be included. Both of these steps
will tend to place basketball on a
higher plane here at Yale, and to-
gether with the intentions of the rule
makers should put the game in a
much better condition than it has
ever been before"

managers of Tommy Burns and
Jack Johnson yesterday afternoon

patrick, on behalf of Johnson. posted
$1,000 some time ago as a side bet
that the big negro could knock
Burns out inside of 20 rounds. On
Saturday Neal offered to double this
bet and Fitzpatrick is said 10 have
made verbal agreemtnt.
When yesterdays conference be-
gan, however, Fitzpatrick insisted on
"A $4,000 side bet. which Neall final
ly accepted. But when the question
of referee came up Neall wanted
to have Jeffries selected, but Fig
patrick said he could not see 1t that
way, as Johnson might some day
have chance to meet the big boiler.
maker in the ring. Fitzpatrick also
held out for 20 rounds, while Neall
said Burns would insist on As

Those who heard the wrangling said
that il looked as If Johnson did not

THE PUGlLISTS
BIFF AND BANG
OF THE BOXERS
Leach Cross Puts 1t All Over Beri
Keyes-Burns and Johnson
Conference.

Leach Cross made good again last
night and defea ed Bert Reyes in
their siX-round. bout at the Grand
Athletic Union, New York. Three
thousand men witnessed the bout,
and that there was keen interest in
it was evidenced by The cheering
at the end of each round. At the
conclusion of the bout the win
ner's friends crowded into the ring
and fairly carried him away on their
shoulders.
Keyes relied on his old-time hay
makers but appeared to have lost
the combination 20 them, as try as
he would he couldn't connect with
a vital point on his shifty, dancing
opponents body. Each time Reyes
started one for the jaw Cross would
either go under it or sidestep and
Reyes would go plunging headlong
into the ropes, oftentimes through
them.
Cross displayed great cleverness
in getting away-in fact, more clev-
erness in getting away than any man
Reyes has yet met. He has a left
jab that he repeatedly stuck in
Keyes's face until he had him wor-
ried; then he would bore in and
fight Reyes to the ropes, pounding
him hard about the body. Reyes
was astonished at this sort of at
tack and weakened quickly.
Cross soon had Keyes where he
wanted him-weak and fighting
wildly. The East Side boy then be-
gan on his final attack and wha. he
did to Reyes was caution. He
would stick that tantalizing left into
his face, then cross that swift, sting
ing right over. Up in he air, fig
uratively, would go Mr. Reyes, and
when he came down he would find
Cross right on the job waiting to do
it all over again. ..
The end of the bout found Reyes
in bad shape. Cross knew he had
been in a fight, but was, apparently,
good for 10 rounds more. Cross is
the idol of the East Side fistic ex-
perts and the cheer they gave when
it was all over is probably still
echoing through the Hudson Palis-
AIDES.
Gym Bagley served as referee and
did good job of it, too.
