It is conspicuously suggestive OF the
pormanence Of dramatic art that on
the Berlin stage the works of Shake.
spcare hold place for popular presen.
tation as usual. 1t is q recognition
of the acceptance OF the intellectual
and the sympathetic quality which
cannot be mistaken. On the other
hand, in London restaurants, the ia.
miiar airs Of the Contes d'Hoffman,
the Barcarolle and other productions
Of the same master, have been howled
down. They are alien, hostile, because
Of their authorship, Yet Offenbach's
music Is essentially French in flavor
The contrast indicates broadminded
spirit in the popular sense. Art is
not concerned in warfare; 1t Ia to be
viewed and enjoyed for arts sake.
Aud these popular demonstrations
would perhaps be conclusive were It
not for the horrible destruction
wrought, without necessity or reason,

BAKER LIKES BUSHES.
Former Home Run King Denies He
 Will Join Tanks.

Media, Pa., Nov. 16.-Home Run Baker yesterday put a crimp in the talk of a trade which will send him to New York next year by declaring that he will not play with New York. This he told Manager Frank Miller of the Upland club of the Delaware County league, with which he played last season, and John P. Crozer, mill lionaire packer of the club, while on a visit to Manager Miller.
 Baker asserted that there is just one big league team with which he will play if he goes back into organized ball. and he said which team this was. He asked that the name of this club be not mentioned, however, and neith CT Miller nor Crozer vii tell which # was. It is understood to be Chicago. There is a possibility that Baker again will be with Upland next year, Miller asserts, as the heavy hitter was we'll satisfied with the money paid him by Crozer. Just how much he has been paid has never been made pub lie. but Baker has made enough so that since the season ended he has purchased another farm at Trappe, Md, and a seven-passenger automo- bile.
 A warm friendship has grown up be- tween Baker and Crozer, and if it is possible to keep him with the Upland team. Crozer will willingly pay a much higher figure than he paid last year.

Psychology Stuff.

It may be that this psychology stuff in sport has been overplayed. And vet it is only in the realms of psycho- lcgy that any fit reply can be un- earthed.
 For the last six seasons Princeton has come to the Yale game with all the psychology against her. She has had to face an eleven where there was little to gain and a lot to lose; where victory brought but minor credit and where defeat bordered upon football disgrace.
 And upon each of these occasions she met a desperate Yale eleven, sore, sullen and at last aroused. And 2 against these unexpected Yale re- coveries, Princeton, encountering far stronger opposition than she looked for, has usually cracked.

CORBETTS CHAMP LOSES.
Leyinsky Hammers Contender For Heavyweight Honors Around the Ring ,

New York, Nov. 16.-Though out weighted by thirty-four pounds, and his opponent lowered head and shoul- ders above him, Battling Levinsky had an easy time outpointing Tom Cowler, the Australian heavyweight, in their ten-round bout at the Olym- pic A. c. last night. Levinsky scaled at 179 pounds, while Jim Corbett's protege weighed 213.
 There were no knockdowns and Levinsky made it an interesting bout all the way For three rounds Cow Ter put up a fast argument, and in the third session he took the lead and sent his man to the ropes with q right to the jaw. That was the turning point of the scrap, for in the fourth Leyinsky rallied and was never again headed. Cowler fought himself out in the third and until the ninth he was second best by a big margin. In the last two rounds he tried to or ganize a rally, but Levinsky was too fast for him and beat him off.
 In the semi-final of ten rounds Marty Cross, brother of Leach, had all the better of Frankie Wagner.

New York, Nov. 16-Delegates from nearly every district association of the Amateur Athletic Union met in an- nual convention at the Waldorf -Astor- ia yesterday and from II o'clock in the morning until midnight struggled with complex legislation that has for it's ul- timate end the welfare of amateur sport throughout the United States.
 The chief objects achieved were the election of George J. Turner of Balti- more as president, the letting down the bars to admit Annapolis midshipmen and West Point cadets to A. A. U. competition without the formality of registration, the appointment of a committee to confer with other bodies as to a uniform definition of an ama- teur and another committee to hear the appeal of Abel R.

MAY PLAY MERIDEN
 AGAIN NEXT YEAR
S. Athletic Council Won't Sane tiOn Post Season Game, However

Meriden High school is going sIs get a chance to meet the New Brit ain High school football elevei. next year, providing they accept the offer of the athletic council of the school, which was made at a meeting held yesterday. Considerable noise has emanated from the Silver City, for the past few weeks about a gane, but when the Meridenites had an op- portunity to play New Britain High they cancelled the game, so there is no sensible reason why this years eleven which has broken training should turn around and try to get in shape for another game. Even if the boys did play the Meridenites it would establish a precendent which would be a bad one later, for if the local school won pionships in years to come, it would mean t%at Podunk, Hickville and Meriden would immediately rush on the scene with a challenge for the title.
 The only other business transacted was the adopting of a schedule for the basketball team for the coming season as follows:
 December 4, Farnum Halls in New Britain; December 10, c. l.. I. in New Britain; December IS, Brietol in New Britain; December 25, New Britain at Bristol; January 1, New Britain in Winsted; January 8, New Haven in New Britain; January 14, Crosby High of Waterbury in New Britain; January 21, New Britain at Middletown; January 2S, New Brit ain at South Manchester; February

No Answer Net.

But all this is no answer to Pr1nce- tons annual cave-in before Yale. There was a day when Princeton played her best football against the Blue. But of late years Yale, with any old football makeup, has been able to beat Princeton back or hold her to a draw.
 Princeton eaflier in the season beat at least two fine teams when she up- set Rutgers and Syracuse, and she gave another exceptional football dis play when she crushed Dartmouth, 31 to 7.
 No weak machine is turning out any such results. Princeton against Harvard played football of high grade. And then-blooie, zow and Good night.

Problem for Scientists.

In the last few seasons Princeton has frequently been beating stronger eleyens than Yale has been losing to ali through October. Take this pres ent campaign. Princeton beat Syra- cuse. one of the strongest eleVens Tn the country. Syracuse beat Colgate, 2s to o. and Colgate smothered Yale' Il, to 0.
 But when Princeton met Yale' Princeton couldn't play enough root ball to beat, as George Ade once put if. an orphan asylum with cramp collie. On Saturday Yale had no chance to beat Princeton. The only show for a Yale victory was Tor Princeton to beat herself, which Princeton promptly did with amazing abandon. It wasn't so much a Yale revival as it was Princeton cave-in Rutgers for example, that lost to Nassau early in the season, would almost surely have beaten either Yale or Princeton Saturday by two touch downs. And so would Syracuse, team that also fell by the Tiger high way some weeks before.
