NEWARK ACADEMY MAT
ARTISTS DECIDE TITLES

Newark Academy mat artists contin-
ued their wrestling tournament at their
gymnasium yesterday afternoon. when
some of the finals and semi-finals were
decided. Some fine wrestling was wit
messed in the -four Championship bouts
which We're contested, with a possible
chance of the remaining bout to be de-
.cided next week of the remaining bouts.
Championships were lost and o
Kimball Atha won the honors in the
s0-pound class and under. D. Meredith
Dowd captured the 9S-pound and under
title. Burtus Goldberg took the no.
pound and under, and n. A. GoertZ was
victor in the 122-pound class. Owing to
the fact that Melville Coursen had to
take part in one of the semi-finals. he
did not wish to wrestle Hugh Smith in
the final. Finding that he was not in
condition, he asked to have the bout
postponed until next week. which was
granted.
Three were left in the s0-pound class to
wrestle for the, title. Chester Hoag drew
and Kimban Atha. After fourteen minutes
of fast wrestling the bout was given to
Atha on points. The bout was by far the
fellows worked ike T%rojans. and Athd had
to go the limit to secure he verdict. In
the final Atha threw Hoag to the mat
with a rolling fall in seven minutes.

HAL CHASE WILL
Be BACK IN FOLD
BY NEXT MONDAY
Recalcitrant New York Ameri-
can League Player Is AL
ready Reinstated.

Hal Chase has been reinstated by the
National Commission. BY Monday at
the latest the crack Yankee first base
man will be once more in good stand
ing. The commission decided his case
by mail, and each man of the trium-
virate was favorable toward giving the
recalcitrant infielder another chance.
All that remains now is the fine. AS
yet the commission members have not
been able to decide on how much to
tax the misled contract-jumper.
Ban B. Johnson's views are awaited by
Chairman August Hermann before max
ing his official announcement. Harry c.
lPulliam has written his views to the Gin
cinnati mogul. John is at present
hunting in the wilds. AS soon as he is
heard from the case will be a matter of
past : history. Mr.. Pulliam would not
intimate yesterday whether the fine would
be large or small. In fact, he has no
idea, outside of his personal opinion. In
all probability Chase will draw quite a
severe reprimand.
Chase will be in good standing by
Monday" said Mr.. Pulliam. 1T Is now
all up to johnson. OF course, l mean in
good standing. literally. He will not be
in good standing till his fine is paid the
commission, but that is easy. Every one
on the commission was favorable TO his
case. His explanation pointed out some
very extenuating circumstance that we
could not overlook. When these are un-
dertsood by the baseball public, / an
sure there will be no cause for censure.
We played no favoritlsm. We thought
ne should be given a chance"
But it has since TRANSFERRED that Chase
was badly advised by certain New York
parties, one Of them a newspaper man,
who had grievances against the Yankees.
In his letter to the commission Chase
showed clearly that he had been tam
pered with by outside parties. On every
occasion this clique filled his ears with
gossip until he himself believed he had
some fancied grievance. Chase was not
himself the last few weeks he played
for New York. He was very i'll, and this
showed in his work. Once or twice the
star first-sacker got a panning for his
apparent listlessness. This helped the
'conspiratoFs along.

OWEN MORAN HAS
SHADE ON HARLEM
TOMMY MURPHY
English Boxer Proves Too Clever
a Performer for New
York Boy.

NEW YORK. Jan. 30.-Owen Moran
and Tommy Murphy fought a furious
ten-round battle at the National A. 9.
last night, and at the end honors were
about evenly divided. with Moran SEEM
ingly having A. shade tine better of the
argument. For the first three rounds
Murphy landed frequently. drawing
blood and stopping Owens rushes. In
the fourth things were evened up, but
in the fifth Moran nearly closed Muir
phys right eye, and in the closing
rounds evened things up with the Har-
lemite.
20 the ninth Murphy staggered Moran
at the bell with an uppercut. but In the
tenth the Englishman came back and
hooked a hard left to the ear and right
TO the law. which sent Murphy to the
ropes. At the bell Moran planted a wicked
left on the jaw. and he seemed TO finish a
bit stronger than Tommy. although fight
experts differ as to the decision. and a
draw will probably settle the matter.
In the preliniinaries Eddie Toy. of Phil
adelphia, had a six-round bout with John
Bendokns. of Newark. whom he defeated
by a frightful drubbing. Just before this
Bendokus had knocked out Jim Ford, Of
Philadelphia, in less than a minute.

MANAGE MINNEAPOLIS.

BUFFALO, y. Y, Jan. 5o.-Jimnly Col
Inns. who played third base for Connie
Mack's Athletics last season. will manage
the Minneapolis team of the American AS
ISOLATION this year. Collins has been III
this city for some time trying TO secure
the franchise of the Buffalo team, and,
having failed in this. came 10 terms with
the Minneapolis management.
1t is understood that the Buffalo people
put too high a price on the franchise, else
Collins would have surely come here. He
will play third base on the Minneapolis
team and also act as field captain.
Before he went TO Philadelphia to play
with the Athletics Collins was captain
and third baseman of the Boston Ameri-
can League champions. and was at that
time considered the greatest third sacRer
in the big leagues. Two months ago he
was released unconditionally by Connie

Yale Is Only Big College to
Meet Orange and

PRINCETON, Jan. 36.-From present
indications Princeton will play only one
big football match next fall. as, aside
from the Yale game, no big matches
have been arranged.
Prominent among the minor teams
which will face the Orange and Black
next fail is Lafayette, although there
is some talk about a game with Swarth-
more or Washington and jefferson.
Springfield Training School and Viz
einia Polytechnic are now on the Tiger
schedule.
At all events. Syracuse, Cornell and
West Point are not to play Princeton.
The break with Cornell seems to be per-
manent. and it seems TO have spread to
many other sports as well. The man
ayers OF the baseball teams disagreed and
as a result there viii be no game this year
on the diamond.
In football the break seems to be based
upon the unpleasantness of the long trip
necessary to bring the two teams together.
This has been argued against by the Cor
nell men. who say that Princeton has been
alter a game with Harvard. which would
necessitate n long trip as well. Cornell
would not consent to a game at New York
aud on at Princeton every other year.
