He was defeated in three bouts with Charley Freeman. q big American who had never fought before, but in 1852 he won the English title by defeating Tom Paddock. The follow ing year he lost on a foul to Harry Broome, but the latter forfeited a re- turn match. and the Slasher again be- came champion. He held his honors until 1857, when he was defeated by Tom Savers, a middleweight That ended Perry's ring career. For a time he ran bar, but he drank more than he sold. and in his latter days he was ito quote the language of his friend, Christie Murray, the novelist-"de- spised, forsaken and left alone"

COBB RAPS fEDERALS
 FOR BLOW AT CAME
Says They are Determined to Rule
 or Ruin Game.

New York, Jan. 18.--The Federal league. 1t would appear. has reached that desperate pass where rather than surrender or call for mercy upon an invulnerable foe it is ready to sink to oblivion if by doing so 1t can drag down it's rival in the fall. Such at least is the opinion of Ty Cobb, the greatest player of the age. A few days ago at his home in Au- susta, Ga, Detroit's champion out fielder discussed the Federal leagues s latest action.
 II believe," said Ty, this action proves the Federal league fully realizes the futility of it's fight and is taking one last desperate chance to lnjure it's rival as much as possible The Federal league cannot go into
 court With clean hands It has en-
 couraged by trckery and in many cases through bribery the violation of
 contract obligations on the part of players. Much of this doubtless has been accomplished by evasion and technicality. But the fact remains
 that the principle is distasteful to the honorable men of the profession and in direct violation of the constitution of the Baseball Players Fraternity l need not cite specific cases, but will
 mention that of Rube Marquard, who was induced to attempt to violate an iron clad instrument binding him to the Giants for two years.
 Should Live Up to Contracts. T think baseball players are be-
 ginning to realize that subterfuge has
 no part in the successful prom otion of the national pastime. The game
 has been injured greatly therefrom the past season. And though it is still honest and will always remain so the vacilating attitude of many mercenary players has doubtless | raised vague suspicious in the pub l lies mind in some quarters. No one planes player for selling his ser
 vices to the very best advantage | But a contract, written or verbal is l a sacred thing. Evasion throt1g h 1 technicality is no sound excuse for 1 dishonor Let the least corruption creep into the manipulation of the 1 game and the careful work of years l will be destroyed. Tho baseball II 1 player has as much at stake in the l approaching fight as any one. The | outcome means no less than his fu- | ture.'

N. B. H. s. OFF FOR
 THAT CHAMPIONSHIP
Downs Crack Waterbury Five il
 Op5nihg League Contest.

New Britain High made an impres. sive start toward capturing the Connecticut Interscho plastic basketball cham pionship Saturday evening, by soundly thrashing the Crosby High quintet. 39-27, in fast and rough game. The crowd of 500 was repeat. edly thrilled by the fast floor work, passing and shooting of both teams A short fistic encounter in which Du- dack and Davis were the prime. pals was the only happening which marred the brillianCy of the contest. Both teams fought hard, but New Britainif pass work was superior to the visitors and the locals showed an indomitable spirit. which kept them fighting to the last minute Of play.
 After two minutes of play Taylor of Waterbury dropped in the first goal underneath the basket but Anderson, Schade and Tuthill registered a field goal each in quick succession. Then there was an argument g 10 whether a Waterbury player should be ruled from the game for rough work. This dispute was settled by calling a dou. ble foul. and the game proceeded with as much vim as before. Davis made two baskets for the visitors and mat. ters were eyened. New Britain came back strongly and scored eight bas. kets before the half closed. Tuthilis play was of high order. for, besides playing a better floor game than his tall opponent, he made four baskets, while holding his rival scoreless.
 Davis and Dudack Exiled.
 Near the close of the first half, Du- dack and Davis were ruled off by the referee for fighting. The visitors felt Davis loss more than New Britain was affected by the removal of Du- dack for, in Schmidt, the substitute, the locals had a man who held the Waterbury star, Taylor, to one basket for the remainder of the game. The excitement was somewhat lcssened near the end of the first period as New Britain began to out-distancs Crosby by efficient team work. The

 collegiate League.

The intercollegiate basketball sea- son is now well under way and two weeks Of playing finds close race, with two teams, Yale and Princeton, tied for the lead, neither college hav- ing lost a game. The Blue, however has played one more game than the Tigers. >2
 Several surprises were furnished as a result of the contests during the past week. Cornell, who last year tied with Columb bia for the champion ship, was decisively defeated by the Ellis. The biggest surprise, however, was the downfall of Columbia. The Blue and White five. easy victor in six preliminary contests against strong teams, was vanquisled twice in four days. Princeton, though outweighed, outplayed Columbia in a hard fought game Wednesday. and Pennsylvania came from behind Saturday night and nosed out the New Workers in a close finish. The humbling of last years leaders should make this sea sons race even more interesting.
 Three Games This Week. "
 Three games are scheduled for this week. Princeton plays Pennsylvania twice, tomorrow night in the Tigers lair at Princeton and Saturday at Philadelphia. Yale and Cornell play their second game on Saturday at Ithaca and Coach Al Sharpe is con- fident that his charges will turn tho tables on the Blue.
