The negro as usual dogged it through

nor his smaller adversary could induce
him to take the aggressive side. In al
most every round the gigantic black did
some backing up. and when Ketchen
showed signs OF going after him. John

Ithaca, Oct 1.-THE fears Of the Cor

were amply justified by the outcome Of
to-day's game which Fordham carried

While both scores were a bit fiuhy. the

they came as a just reward for alert

AERoNAUT IN NORWICH.
Evelyn Briggs Baldwin Planning for
Four Years Trip Into Arctic Region
Cousin of Captain Baldwin.

Evelyn Briggs Baldwin. the noted
aeronaut and Arctic explorer, Is In
Norwich this week. While he came
primarily to assist his cousin, Captain
Thomas S. Baldwin, who Is making
airship flights in the California Arrow.
Mr.. Baldwin was also drawn tc this
city by the opportunity. presented IN
the anniversary celebration to get IN
touch with relatives in Norwich, for
Mr.. Baldwin, as well as his cousin, the
captain. is connected by local ties OF
kinslaip. AS is shown by his middle
name, Mr.. Baldwin is related to the
Briggs family, and called on several of
the name here Tuesday. Mr.. Baldwin Is
delighted with the beauty OF the Rose
Of New England
Mr.. Baldwin has made several ex-
petitions to the Arctic regions, and
now has plans on foot for a four years,
trip to the same regions. which will
eclipse all former efforts. It is entire
ly possible that the discovery of the
North Pole may be a result of the
voyage on. ice which Mr.. Baldwin pro-
poses to make. He will make collec-
tions of marine specimens found In
those cold seas that Will be Invaluable
to the scientific world.
The plan of exploration Is briefly
this:
Between the upper limits Of Green
land and the pole is vast ice pack
hundreds of miles wide. This Ice is
constantly moving, owing to the action
of winds and ocean currents, and also
because of land obstructiohs, in an
easterly direction into the Atlantic.
This movement has been conclusively
shown by the drift Of wrecked ships
and casks that have been left upon the
ice
,aIr. Baldwin, after fitting out at San
will start in the late summer for
Behririg Strait where he will tie his
ship to the edge of the Zee pack. Logs
and timber, casks full OF OIL food
