PRINCETON BEATS
 HARVARD AND PENN
Tigers Spring Surprise by Wear ing Down Veteran Crimson
 Grew

Cambridge, Mass, May 13-Princeton
 yesterday out-rpwed Harvard and Pennsylvania in a 7-s mile dash down the Charles River Basin. The crews finished in the order named, after one of the most stirring strug- gleS of late years
 The Tiger eight shot over the fin ish line in 10 minutes and Is seconds, after the starting pistol had been fir while the Quakers trailed the Grim son by twelve seconds
 Princeton's victory was well mer- tied. The Orange and Black proved itself the best crew by overcoming very disadvantageous start. Before was quarter of a length ahead of the other two boats. Princeton and Pennsylvania hung on gaznely, how ever, and made a very pretty race of it up to the mile mark, Harvard Bridge. Here Harvard led Princeton by a good six feet.
 Somewhere within the shadoWy darkness of the bridge the race was lost by Harvard and won by Prince ton For when the boats reappeared the Orange and Black was in front. It was an advantage never to be rs- Try as the Crimson would to cut down the lead the Tiger was never to be caught unaware. And as it subsequently proved, the victors had more in reserve than their most feared rivals.
 Tn the last half-mi1e Harvard's crew tried game1y to pick up the stroke when Captain Abeles called up on his men for a squirt. The Tigers however, were prepared for this and Themselves responded manfully to every challenge. Princeton, as a mat ter of fact, appeared much fresher than Harvard at the. finish The Tigers were able to give three re- spending cheers for .Old Nassau before they padded to the float.

HARVARD VS. YALE
 BIG TRACK MEET
Old Rivals to Contest in New
 Haven Next Saturday

Harvard's victory over Cornell on the track Saturday, and YaIe's win from Princeton on the same day, gives the first reliable indications of what may be expected at the annual meet ing between Yale and Harvard in New Haven next Saturday.
 After Harvard's sweeping vtct tory last year and the return of so many Of the Harvard stars. the general opinion all along was that the crinn- son would have an easy time this year. Since the outdoor season com menced, however, the rapid develop ment of the Yale team has changed the outlook. As far as one can tell Harvard is still the stronger team. but the meet will be a close one, and whichever team wins. will have only a small margin.
 Yale has star men in several events. record-beaters. Tn the sprints Cor nell, of Yale, must De conceded first place, as Keller, of Cornell, took them on Saturday. for Harvard has no men Of the first order in the dashes- Also in the pole vault Yale maintains it's and Captain Wagoner, Achelfs and their team-mates may make clean sweep.
 In the hurdles Ya1e has another first class man in Potter, who was on the freshman team last year. But in the hurdles Harvard can compete with the blue on even terms. as Jackson and Cummings showed Saturday that they are to be reckoned with by any college murders of the year.

YOUNG TO RETURN
 TO BOSTON BRAVES
If Arm Works We'll Cy Will
 Report to StalIings

Cleveland, May 13@The Red Soz had just struck town last Wednesday when Old Cy Young. the wonder of all wonders. dropped into the Hollenden hotel to hold a flaming bee.
 Cy is a great deal lighter than he
 was a year ago and says that he is feeling like a youngster. Old Cy is now manager of the Cleveland team offhe- Federal league, which has been putting up a fine game of ball Cy Is working out with the team and although he has not used his pitch ing whip to any great extent, he stated that he would cut loose in 8 week or so and if the old arm felt all right he would get back into the game
 Young Is still the property of the Boston Nationals and therefore if he feels that he can get away with 3. few more wins in the big league he will report to Manager Etallings. Cy ex- rIained the other evening that in his opinion the only thing the matter with his arm was due entirely to rheuma-s tisrn, which he got while with the Braves last spring at Augusta, Ga Last summer at intervals of four or five weeks the grand old man of base ball worked out his arm, but as the Iameness was still in the shoulder he gave up for the season
 S3Hce l1S -ASN ~4e@1Au IS1AtA OA e.AS Federal league reported a few weeks ago, Cy Young has been throwing a fex balls each day. but he has wisely refrained from trying to put anything on the sphere. The only bother he has had 50 far Is the usual spring soreness, which comes to all ball play CTS during the first week or two of the practice season. AS soon ss Cleve- land Hs favored with some real warm weather, Cy will give his arm a thor ouEh try out and the old boy will be very much disapp pointed if 1t fails him.
 Cy Is very much interested in the Braves, who he claims should de- Iings. crowd to get up in the race He was particularly emphatic in his praise of George (Lefty) Tyler of the Braves, whom he claims should de- vezop into one of the greatest left handlers in the game.

SHUGRUE DEFEATS
 ONE ROUND HOGAN
Jersey City Knocks Californian Out in Tenth Round at
 New Haven

Joe Shugrue of Jersey City, leading aspirant to Willie Rhtchie's Rhtyre4erF7f crown, krSoclzed out "One Round" FLO gan of California in the tenth round of their scheduled fifteen ro1,n7 i,sstis at the Casino. New Haven, last night From the start 1t was plainly visible that Hogan was lI1iI7zzl4fi C$Si tt1 a1his
 master and the end came as no sur prise to the large crowd that packed the arena A stiff left uppercut. fol- lowed by a wicked right smash to the jaw, sent the Californian to his knees It was needless for Referee Dave Fftz- gerald to toll off the seconds as Hogan remained in the roSin dust until as- sisted to his corner by seconds.
 In the other star bout. Frankie Burns Of Jersey City defeated Banty Lewis of New York, while Hal Martin knocked out Henry Miller in the final session of their six-round prelimin- ary.
 The Shugrue- Hogan bout was a dis appointing affair. Shugrue was so far Hogan's superior that there was little comparison. The Jersey City lad beat the Californian at his own game-in- figttfng-and had the latter fully fin distress after the second round. Throughout the milling, Shugrue play ed for HoganSs stomach and 1t was evil dent after the fourth that the latter would weaken under the strain
 While Shugrue was displaying great speed, cleverness and punching abil- ity, Hogan was barely able to place a glove on the New Jersey phantom. If he did sefia- one home. tive or ztlree blows were taken in return and -EIo- gan clinched as much as possible to slave off further punishment. Sht1- grue left the scene Of battle unmarx- ed while the vanquished rugilist was badly punished around the body.
 AS the boys started on their grind Shugrue was not long in shooting lefts and rights sat Hogan's stomach. He continued these tactics throughout rarely letting up and managed to force the fighting all the way.

 SPRINGFIELD TEAM
Rz WaRnerl

The ball must have been very slip pery at Newf1eld park yesterday for
 the Bridgeport and Springfield players
 booted it around as if they were play ing roller polo. The Mechanics hand ed the visitors couple of runs on errors and later the Ponies clipped in
 with a costly miepIay that gave Bridgeport two counts and the game by 4 to 3. Although Bridgeport had more pebbles than the enemy, they were not costly. with the exception of Bowman's in the fifth. When men were on bases the Mechanics braced considerably
 Chief Snyder twirIed his best game in two seasons. He did away with most of his underhand delivery and consequently had better control. If 1t hadn't been for his poor support the Chief would have breezed through with only one run against him. The Ponies got six hits, two of which were contributed. by Jack O'Hara. More pitched well for Springfield.
 Dusty Phillips. who gets his mail in Wayn esboro, Pa. in the winter. got, most of the applause from the nati- nee fans He gave an imitation of Jesse James In the eighth when he ran to the right foul line and grab bed Eddie Swander's liner with out stretched paw Phillips 5uggled the ball but held 1t finally.
