/ about lighting any man in the world
at his weight, but he was always care
full not to make a match against
anybody who could punch. In the
ring, Connors. after sizing up his
man, and getting his number, would
cut up all sorts of eapers. He became
! popular with the patrons of the sport
and bout in which he was one of
| the principals was always full of
action and amusing features. Oc-
casionally. when the going was par
tieularly easy. Chuck would feign
grogginess, and II was amusing to
watch the desperate efforts of his OPP
ponent to finish the job. Suddenly
Connors would come out of his trance
and fairly annihilate his man. 1t was
great sport to see Chuck Connors box.
and l. for one, always had tender
spot for the Mayor of Chinatown >

AS to college baseball Princeton's
chances for the championship are not
nearly so bright as they we're a
month ago, but the old saying You
never can tell is not entirely out of
order. In the game on Saturday with
Harvard Princeton was beaten to O..
and she doesn't seem to have any ex-
cuses to offer. With Harvard show
| ing superiority on the diamond and
with Yale an admittedly better team
than Harvard what hope can the
Tigers have when they clash with the
Bulldog in the championship games?
None, according to the actual hap
penings on The field. yet Princeton
has been most fortunate, when least
expected, in her series on the diamond
with Yale
AS a result of the Yale-Cornell game
on Saturday it might be taken that
Yale has nothing much to blow about.
1t required eleven innings for the Ellis
to defeat Cornell and Cornell, sure
ly, hasn't shown much baseball skill
so far this year. Princeton beat Cor
nell handily in both games, and now
Cornell turns around and gives Yale
one of the hardest battles of the sea-
son. All that can be said is that col
iege baseball is no different than
other baseball-the best team will
win in the long run, but the best
team will also be beaten now and
then.
g
Cornell, as expected, beat Harvard
and beat her easily in the rowing race
at Ithaca Saturday. Coach Courtney
produced an eight that rowed up to
the form of the crews of other years,
and the general comment seems to be
that it is just simply another of
those Cornell crews" AS to the race,
the victory was too hollow to be in
teresting. For not more than quar-
ter of a mile did Harvard display
any speed or rowing skill, and Cor
nell got in her swing and went to
won as she pleased by six open
lengths. Columbia has shown con-
siderable class this season and
Princeton seemed to have a lot of
real Craftsmanship about her in her
first race, but Cornell, almost perfect
in motion and powerful in stroke,
uncovered the best race of the year
on Lake Cayuga on Saturday.

English experts seem to be taking
the American representatives entered
for the golf championship of the
world, play in which begins today,
very serious Whether it is because
of the number of the entries or the
calbre of the entrants is not stated,
but on this side of the ocean there
isn't much faith in the success of the
golfers who are to endeavor to up
hold the honor of this country. In
the first place. the best ten, say, of
our golfers are not entered. Those
who have decided to play are con-
sidered fairly good men only. The
chances of Americans at best in the
big tourney over the British links
would not seem rosy. Even If Je-
rome D. Travers, the greatest anna
teur of the day, and Fred Herreshoff
and Chick Evans and Oswald Kirk
by and Walter Travis were to con-
tend for the honors the hopes of the
Yankees would not be so very high
II there is one thing in which the
English have it on the Americans
it is at golf That we beat them
sometimes is very true, but that they
beat us many times cannot be dis
puted. In an open tourney we have
small chance against them, especial
ly on the other side. True. Wal
ter Travis came through a winner
over there and Harold Hilton came
over here and beat all our amateurs,
only to be beaten himself last year.
But in the big tourney that gets un-
der way today at st. Andrews, even
with six representatives we haven't
much of show.
