All of these will be on the home

ably replace New York University.
It is generally understood that Lee
high will not be seen here next fall,
and that Fordham may replace that
team. The rumor concerning Lehigh
is that last fall the Bethlehem men
played a professional on their eleven.
Princeton protested, but the Bethle-

MAHON'S HAND HAS
HEALED AND HE is
OUT FOR REVENGE

The ten-round battle at the Hillside

irish Mahon an opportunity OF

him a lacing few weeks ago at the
local club.
The managers of both lads have
Sested forfeit money for weight and
appearance, the boys to weigh lis
pounds, ringside. Mahon has been
clamoring for a return match with
White, claiming he had a bad right
hand in their former meeting and
practically had to fight. one-handed
battle.
His claim was that he had injured
his mitt during a training workout,
and could not land it with the proper
steam during the bout.
White showed up exceptionally well
In that bout. White also carries a
wallop that shows evidence of being
a sleep producer, having rocked Irish
several times. Mahon claims his hand
is in as good condition as it ever was,
and promises to make the. English
man travel at his fastest clip in order
to be in at the finish.

NOT TO BE AROUND WORLD

CHICAGO. Feb. THAT the Chi

Pacific in the fall is a certainty. ac-
cording to President Comiskey. of
the South Side team. Plans for the
journey have about been arranged,
and Norris c'Tip') O'Neill will re-
turn TO Chicago on Sunday to report
what progress has been made
The trip is not to be one around
the world. as was first reported. The
clubs will not have the time, so only
three countries will be visited. They
are Australia. Japan and China.
Comiskey said he would like to take
the boys around the world in short
time, but if he did it would deprive
them of the opportunity of exploiting
the real inside points of baseball
Twelve players are to be taken by
each club. This probably will be the
regular set of fielders and three
pitchers.

Schenectady's Mayor Bars
Boxing Bouts in His Burg

SCHENECTADY, y. Y. Feb. r.
Mayor George r. Lunn has turned his
attention away from politics long
eonugh TO stun the fight fans in this
city with the statement that the box
ing bouts which are advertised to
take place here Monday night will be
prohibited. Just how this will be done
has not been made known, but the
mayor spoke with emphasis when
he said that prize fighting would not
be allowed in this city under any
guise.
Mayor Lunn scents the presence of
certain undesirable persons behind
the bout in this city and he uses this
as an excuse of stopping the fights.

PRINCETON COACHES HAVE.
BUT TWO SUGGESTIONS FOR
RETIREMENT OF FOOTBALL
Tiger GridirOn Experts Believe Players
Should Be Numbered and Goal Posts
Moved Back Few Feet.

PRINCETON. n. +. Feb. 7.-only
two recommendations will be made
by Princeton to the intercollegiate
football rules committee when these
men meet at New York next week
to discuss present rules. The only
changes that the Tiger coaches would
offer that each player be numbered
and that the goal posts be moved
back into the end zone with the
cross-bar projecting over the goal
line.
These conclusions were reached at
a recent meeting of the coaching
committee and Parke II. Davis, the
Princeton member of the rules COM
mittee. Both Of these changes read
lily commend themselves. The ad-
vantages of each player wearing a
number that would be from to 10
inches high on his back would help
both the spectators and sporting
writer's.
Moving of the goal posts back i've
yards, as they were formerly, would
tend to protect the players when
there was a mass play near the
goal.
Local football authorities make no
official statement in regard to the
probable schedule for the coming
season, but numerous rumors are cur

will be several changes in the Prince
