HERE'S A CHANCE
FOR 200" HITTERS

NEW YORK, Sept. 24@Captain
Gregory, of the Australian cricket
team, which is now on its way to this
country, has written to the New York
managers of the coming internati onal
cricket matches. declaring that his
team is also proficient in baseball and
proposing a game with a picked team
from the New York and Brooklyn big
league players. MY team" he says,
is the greatest baseball aggregation
in Australia. We play baseball for
practise in running and fielding and
are confident of being able to give a
good account of ourselves against the
best nine hat you can produce
The novelty in his suggestion, how
ever, lies in Captain Gregory's idea
that both teams shall use cricket bats,
playing the whole game of baseball
under the national rules, with the ex-
ception that the baseball players shall
be allowed to use their gloves. as Is
usual with them, while the cricketers,
as is customary with them, will play
with bare hands.

FIGHT AGAINST M'CARRON

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 24.,Jack
McCarron and Knockout Brennan. Of
Buffalo. fought six hard rounds at the
American Athletic Club last night in
one OF the best shows ever given at
that club. Brennan proved a very
tough young fellow and at the end of
the six rounds the best that the Allen
town fighter could expect was a draw.
and many of the spectators thought
that Brennan had a shade the better
of the argument.
The best bout of the night was be-
tween Dave Smith. the Australian
middle-weight and George Ashe. of

good margin.

PRINCETON, Sept. 24.-The Tiger
football squad came back to scrim-
mage yesterday afternoon after thei,
day of rest. The coaches gave them
the longest scrimmage of the season
and the varsity made good in spite
of a wet field and drizzling rain.
About forty-fve minutes proved
long enough for the veteran backs
in the first lineup to run up five
touchdowns against the scrubs. The
second score was made in two plays
from the centre of the field, Pen
dleton taking 1t a little over twenty
five yards and Andrews scoring on
a neat forward pass from Dewitt.
Dunlap, Dewitt and p. e. Waller
occupied positions on the varsity for
the first time this season. Dewitt
played his old position at fullback,
and Waller took Speer's place at left
end, while DuRlap, who has always
played at end heretofore, was tried
at right tackle.
This combination worked very
well, but 1t is not expected thai II
will be kept for the opening game
with Stevens on Saturday. The
coaches have several other shifts in
mind which are being held until e.
c. Waller has recovered from a
slightly twisted ankle.
