ooRNELn CELEBRATES VICTORY

Cornell INV. celebrated Founders
Day, the anniversary of the birth of
Ezra Cornell, .Sa turday, with custom
airy jubilation over the victory Of its
oarsrnen in the intercollegiate regat-
ia at Poughkeepsie last June. This
observance has become of a perfume
tory nature, as eight victories in ten
years has taken the edge off the zest
for winning. A lot OF undergra duateS
would be quite willing to have Cor
nell lose this year, for a change, wise
Iy holding that too much of even a
is jubilant over the prowess of its
crews, with a mild and bored sort of
jubiIation, it is not pulled up with any
such pride of its 1912 football elev-
en-. Cornell may, perhaps, claim the
gridiron championship of Ithaca, but
not much else. The 1912 baseball
nine did better. and Corne1Fs hopes
this year. Victory at Poughkeepsie
again next June is taken for granted.
Four of last years winning eight will
likely be hand again this year.
These are Bates, Lurn, Elltcott and
Spransy. Butts and Hiscox, who were
in last years victorious freshman
eight, will try for the varsity eight,
and have been included in the tenta-
tive boat. Lawrence Eddy and G. B.
johnson are also likely candidates. S..
". Hiscox is considered a likely can
didate for stroke.
AS feature of Founders Day at
Cornell, it is likely that plans will be
made for completing Alumni Field.
The proposed stadium will be among
the finest in America, but it is not
likely to be ready for the big games
next Autumn, owing to lack of funds.
The football team will practice on the
new gridiron, but the 1913 games will
probably be played on Persy Field, as
in past years. The new Cornell base
ball cage. which will be used by the
nine for indoor practice, was to have
been ready to-day, but has been delay
ed. The cage is big enough for a
dirt diamond and is well lighted, from
the roof. The memorial training
house, promised by wealthy Cornell
alumni, will be another impressive
structure. It will be two stories high
100 feet long, and 46 feet wide. 1t
will be used not only by the football
men, but also by the baseball players,
lacrosse, association football and 9TH
er teams and by the track athletes.

FUNNY BUSINESS" COST Weir
TITLE e YEARS AGO TODAY

A lot of fighters are fond Of indulg-

They should take warning from the
experience of Ike Weir, ''the Belfast
Spider first featherweight champion
of the world who lost his title to Billy
Murphy, the little fighting cyclone
from Australia, twenty-three years ago
today Ike, with true Hfbernian exub-
erance of spirits, was fond of playing
to the grandstand, intinating his con-

clown stunts in the ring He did it in
the fight with Murphy. In the four
teenth round the Spider turned, a
back flip, which was one of his favor
tie turns. He had barely landed on
his feet when Murphy sent over q, ter
ribIe right that stretched Ike out for
the count. and cured him of all dis
position to play the role of clown. With
that blow, in bout in which he had
seemed outcIassed, the Australian won
the featherweight title. This bout
was staged before the California Ath-
1etic Club in San Francisco, and Ike's
defeat was extensive to a lot of Golden
State sports.

WARD RETIRES NEXT
AUGUST AS COACH OF
PENN ROWING SQUAD

Philadelphia, Jan. 13-EI1is A. Ward,
the veteran crew coach at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, will not be
retained as coach of the Red and Blue
oarsmen after Aug. 81, 1913. the date
on which his three-year contract ex-
pires. This announcement was made
by the Rowing Committee in Penn in
the form of a letter written to the
Pennsylvania, students daily, at the
university last night, in reply to COM
munication sent to John w. Town
send, Chairman Of the committee, ask
ing why Coach Ward had been re-
tanned this year and if any steps had
been taken toward securing a new
coach for next season.
The letter also states that the COM
mittee is at present considering the
question of the new coach for the fall
of 1913 and the spring of 1914. Thus
far nine applications have been re-
ceived, some from the most prominent
and capable Goa ches of crews in this
country and abroad, and more are ex-
pected.
In answer to the question of why
Coach Ward had been retained for this
sea son, an action taken by the Rowing
Committee, which was directly against
the sentiment of the undergraduate
body, it is stated that as Mr. Wards
contract does not expire until the last
of August it would have been unwise
to replace him this season.

One Of the most important treaties
of peace ever signed was that docu-
ment to which representatives of the
National and American leagues at
tached their signatures ten years ago
thus putting an end to the disastrous
warfare which had been waged be-
tween the rival major league. 1.-THE
Peace of Cincinnati will probably be
the historic name of that pact agreed
upon at a conference in the Ohio city
on Jan. II, 1908. During the seasons
of 1901 and 1902 the leagues had been
at swords points, to the disgust of
the fans, who hailed with delight the
decision to quit playing politics and
to play ball instead. The fighting war
riors were this given the hook and
the players again took the 1ine1ig1t.
The verbal inshoots of the magnates
gave place to the outshoots of the
twirIers. Harry c. Pulliam, who had
replaced Nick Young president of
the National league, and Garry Herr
mann of Cincinnati, were largely re-
sponsib1e for ushering in the era of
sweet peace. Hermann, acting as
mediator brought President Ban John
son, of the American league, into line.

GARDNER OF RED SOX
SAYS TEAM WILL REPEAT
Great InfieIder Thinks Washington
Won't Bother Boston But
Athletics Will.

Boston, Jan. 13.-That the Red Sox
do not lack any confidence of repeat
ing in the 1913 race for the flag has
been made evident recently upon sew
era1 occasions. The fans Of New
England feel that President Nc
show of being at least champions of
the American League and worlds
pennant winners.
Very few of the worlds champions
live in New England, but it is a good
deal like keeping a horse out of the
fire for those who reside in this
locality. They rush back to the office
Of the Red Sox occasionally through
visitor being Larry Gardner, the star
third sacker of the champions.
Larry Gardner takes a lively inter
est in Boston and is particularly
hopeful for the success of the Braves
in the battle which opens in April. He
is stopping at quits" for couple of
Falls in the hope of getting chance
to do some skating, in which he has
been, of course. so far disappointed.
Yesterday. taken in tow by Clyde
Engles, Larry visited the offices of the
Braves at the Paddock building. He
chatted hopefully of StahPs boys and
the possibility of cutting in on the
II Think said he, stthat the Red
Sox are in better shape to win next
seasons flag than they were during
1917. w e nave passed through the nre,
as they say, and have practically the
same team to fight for the lead, and
that team is the Athletics"
you're right there, Larry said
Clyde. 81 do not look for Washing
ton too much. They had a lot of luck
last year and a wonderful run of vic
tories which is almost impossible for
them to repeat. That kept them in
the race and made them contenders
for the finish, 1913 will see a. different
story, I think, in Washington
Both Gardner and Engle expressed
their heartiest praise of Manager
George Sta1lings as a, leader of men
on the ball field.
Take what Mr.. Sta11ings did in New
York in 1910 for example," said
Clyde, che took a team up to second
place and had a fighting chance for
the pennant that year, and the ma
terial was not very much better than
that which he has now on the Braves.
The following year the fans of New
York firmly expected Hal Chase to
lead his men to victory, which, of
course, did not occur. George StaIlings
has the faculty of drawing men to him,
making points in baseball clear to
them and is a man who insists upon
his ideas being carried out on the ball
field. This, think. will be a novelty
to some of the men on the clubs pay
roll, for it cannot but tend toward an
advancement for the Braves the com
ing season."
