Yale Practically Secures Corner On
 Basketball H0noTS.
Standing of Teams.

New Haven, March 1O.-A wonder full spurt near the close of the second half pulled Yale through to a victory over Princeton at the Yale gymnasium last night by 20-17 score and gave the local university it's first basket ball championship since Captain Moves 1907 team. True, Dartmouth is still to be played, but the result of this game is accepted as a foregone conclusion and the laurel wreath is as good as reposing on Eddie Stack poles brow. -....s.- --
 There have been exciting basket ball games and more exciting basket ball games, but the superlative was reached in last nights exhibition. At no stage of the game did either team enjoy more than few points lead and during most of the play the teams were tied or separated by one point margin. The crowd was easily the largest ever damned in the local gymnasium and every point of vantage was occupied including some peril ously high rafters and beams. Be- tween the halves two of Mosey Kings boxing pupils entertained with an ex hibition of the manly art.
 Yale Starts With Rush.
 Arnold broke loose at the whistle and dribbled his way down to an easy basket Princeton proceeded to cover up closely and there were sev- eral moments without score. Weiner finally emerged from a scrimmage and by a wonderful back-handed shot boosted Yale's score to four. Then Princeton got started and tied mat ters up by means of two foul goals by Haas and Jackson's toss from the side Haas again got loose and put his team in the lead with a field goal. Arnold scored a point from the foul line and followed this up with the

ObOYf0graphy
BY "GRANy.

From the time John .L. Sullivan the old Roman gladiator was downos- by James J. Corbett at New Orleans in 1892, there were onIy two men to face the bellicose Bostonian who were not licked before they started. One of them was the clever, 'nimble-footed bank clerk from San Francisco, and the other was the versatile English boxer, Charlie Mitchell. Ii was twen- ty-seven years ago today, March 10, 1888, that lawn and Charlie mingled in what was scheduled as a finish fight at Chantilly, France, and tke memory of that bout is the sorest spot in the big Irishman's career. In Corbett he met a big man, eight years his junior, and an American. Mitchell was only a middleweight, and was much nearer Johns age than Corbett
 Sullivan in the ring was an object to strike terror to the stoutest heart He roared, beloved, rumbled, glared ferociously, and in general acted like a grizzly bear hungry for raw meat.' Trepidation seized the men who faced him, and the blood turned to water in their veins In short, they were scared stiff. But not Mitchell. When he first met Sullivan in Madison Square Garden in 1883, the slender, frail Britisher looked like a pygmy compared with Sully, but he acted for all the world as if he was pitte1 against a man of no particular ir1- portance. MitchelFs debonair cool and careless attitude in the face of the clustering, bluffing Bostonian sur prised the latter so much that Charlie knocked him down before he had re- covered from his surprise. Sullivan proved too powerful for Mitchell, and Capt. Williams, the referee, stopped the roolyus in the third round. Charles neevr lost his nonchalant afr, however, and it was plain that he had the "Injun sign" on Americas doughty champion A little later they were matched for another session in the Garden, but John pleaded that he was too i'll to go on.
 The battle of twenty-seven years ago today, on French soil, was pulles off on Lord Rothschild's training grounds near Chantilly. 1t was for $2,500 a side, London prize ring rules, with the "raw 'uns."

PLANT MAY PUT A
 TEAM IN HARTFORD
0'Rourke Expects, However, That
 JIn Cakin VIII Fat Grow.

President James H. O'Rourke of the Eastern association has practical ly completed his plans to start the annual race in his league. 1t does not make much difference to him whether Clarkin starts his club in Hartford or not. The Hartford fran chise. like all the others, belongs to the league. and if the holders of franchises do not conform to the rules and regulations, the franchise reverts to the league. O'Rourke says he would prefer to have Clarkin retire from the game but it is not supposed that he will do anything to force his retirement. The president has said that Hartford would have a team in the league when the season opened, and the president always keeps his word.
 Expect Clarkin to Apologize.
 Manager McCann of the New London club is now in the south, and he may be conferring with his em- ployer, Commodore Plant, about a new baseball park in Hartford. It is generally believed around the circuit that when the show down comes Clarkin will apologize to O'Rorrke and go ahead with his club. It will not be the first time that he has been obliged to back water for ORourke, and when the men come together in a meeting the Hartford owner always denies the statements that the Hartford and Springfield newspapers quote him as making. The Springeld Union prints the follow ing:
 While many statements by MT. ORourke have gone wrong in the past he appears to have ample as- surance in his own mind that the league is going to live. He evidently takes seriously the story that MT. Millionaire Plant of New London is going to dig down and help out. Tn fact there is good enough ground for the belief that some such plan as that is the basis of MT. O'Rourke's theory that the Eastern association is going to start the next season and stay in baseball through the summer"

Now It's Up to CIarkin

President O'Rourke took Jim Clar- Kin by surprise by announcing a meeting of the Eastern association for next Tuesday in Hartford. If Clarkin is not bluffing in his threat to withdraw from the Eastern associ- alton then the other magnates will be on hand to talk over the franchise which will belong to the league if Clarkin doesn't file his $2,00O bond March Is. Clarkin is not popular with Hartford fans and a number ot prominent spOrtsmen' would pump al the chance to get the valuable fran chise.
