WILL PAY OWN EXPENSES.
Princeton Refuses to Let Navy Put
Up Money for Trip.

Annapolis, Md. Oct e. - Although
Princeton has not played football at
Annapolis for several years. and the
claim was made after the last game that
relations between the two were strained.
the coming game between Navy and old
Nassau promises to be a love feast. The
boys from New Jersey have made q
tenstrike at Annapolis. and when they
arrive, October 90, they will get q royal
welcome and all sorts of entertainment
This Is because the Princeton authoTi-
ties have written TO the Navy football
authorities declining 10 allow the Ad-
mirals 10 pay for the trip of the Tigers
and refusing the guarantees.
Princeton took this action because no
gate receipts accrue from games at the
Academy. 1t was a sportsmanlike step.
and the Navy lost no time in express
ing appreciation.
Before the coming struggle with Prince
ton. however. the Navy has a stiff game
with Villanova next Saturday, and the
squad Of coaches an players are working
together for a victory.

A limit OF membership to 900 was made
In the new draft. and the usual questions
OF initiation and yearly fees were voted
upon. It Will probably be six months
before the club will be running smoothly,
but tho organization is thorough and
we'll financed, and great strides are eN-
pected by the members, now that the new
site has been selected. The new consti-
tuition was finally adopted almost without
amendment.
The home Of the country club is just
north OF the Chevy Chase Club. and Tom
Morris. the famous authority on golfng

plotting and laying out Of the links. No
expenses are 10 be spared TO make the
grounds one OF the best In the country
and the building OF a handsome club
house will be started as soon as the plans
are adopted.
It was expected that a successor to
George Turnbull. the old clubs profess
sional. would be announced last night
but the matter was deferred until a
more suitable time. Next Monday night
the club will meet at the Raleigh~to elect
KS officers and the board OF governors.

EASY FOR JOHNSON
Sam Fitzpatrick Tells How
Negro Will Win.
TO WEAR KETCHEL5 DOWN
Betting Ia Now at Even Money that
White Man VIII stay Fifteen
Rounds-NeErO Picked TO Win at
2-tO-I Odds-Few WaEers of Any
importance Are Registered.

New York, Oct. 13.-Sam Fitzpatrick,
who predicted that Jack Johnson would
defeat Tommy Burns. and is one OF the
best handlers Of pugilists in the world.
has written a letter to a friend in this
city In which he says Johnson will surely
beat Ketchell at Colma on Saturday.
Fitzpatrick. after being cast aside by
Johnson, who was virtually made by him.
patched it up with the big negro several
weeks ago. and has been training for the
coming tight. In his letter Fitzpatrick
says:
johnson viii score Knockout. but
he will not take any chances with
Ketchelrs heavy hitting in the early
rounds. Instead. Johnson will gradually
wear the young white man down. Earring
him whenever possible with uppercuts and
finally putting him away
AS Johnson had Burns helpless IN four
teen rounds, and as KetchelI IS a far
more dangerous fighter than Burns.
Fitzpatrick says that he will not be sur
prised IL Ketchell is on his feet at the
end OF fifteen rounds. but that he win
be in such a way that Johnson win have
no trouble in stopping Ketchell before
the twentieth round ends.
The leading betting proposition on the
mill Is even money that Ketcheu viii
stay fifteen rounds, but so far there has
been a tendency on the part OF sporting
men TO refrain from betting until the
last moment. Ketchelrs followers say
/ that Il makes 70 difference because John
son is a 2-to-1 favorite. as It Is matter
Of record that in previous heavyweight
championship fights favOrites have been
overwhelmed.
/ Half dozen good judges Of boxing
were discussing the probable outcome, and
the consensus Of opinion was that the
honors would go 70 Johnson One OF
! them. whose opinion IS worth having
said.
ITO my mind there can be only one re-
suit, II the fight is on the level, and that
/ is a win for the colored man. Whs
shouldn't he win? He has every physical
advantage. and also the confidence born
from being the champion. His style OF
! fighting is better suited 10 a long fight
than to six rounds. and I know he will
depend upon countering 10 put Ketchel
/ in bad. The white man is almost sure Il
! fight in his usual style-rushing in with
1 both hands going-because up to the pres
ent he has not shown anything else. and
/ IL he does. Johnson will surely nail him
with the short right jolt Ketchell's shit;
/ should not bother johnson much. All the
| coiored man has 10 do is step away from
the left lead and then close in with his
/ left hand high, That WI give him a per
! feet defense against the shift, and at the
same time leave Ketcheu open for john
| sons right-hand punch. One thing Is GER
tain. Johnson is not going into the hgh;
with his eyes closed, and II the money Is
down right there can be hardly any othel
result than a win Tor the colored man"
