criticism upon his recent interview about
numbering players. 1t seems that Cap
tain Black was not only misunderstood,
but that he had no intention of starting a
controversy upon this subject, having
troubles enough of his own ahead with
Harvard and Princeton and W. and j.

1t for nearly 20 minutes the other day

shot: "Ye practice 1t two 'oors day for

Sammy White Comes Back
Sammy White is coming East again soon
for n visit, first trip out of the West since
he beat Yale and Harvard single handed
back in 1911I To show Just how fragrant
the memory of him is, Dean Mathey and
other Princetonians are planning to give
Sammy big reception at the Princeton
Club on May 8.
Princeton has not won a football game
from Yale or Harvard since White went
away, so 1t is only fitting that Nassau
should not only give him a regal welcome.
but also try to hold him over for an
other stand against the Blue and Crimson
next fall.

Donahue Is Surprised

DOnahue Is Surprised
Donahue, fresh from his battle with
Johnny Kilbane a couple of weeks ago,
evidently had the idea that he was up
against a soft one and acted accordingly.
He wore a confident smile, which showed
his gold teeth to good advantage and kept
on smiling until the last round. Then
right cross landed on his jaw and he hit
the floor for q count of four and the happy
laughter was ruined forever
Nelson was thrown heavily to the hoor
in the fourth round and this slowed him
up considerably He had not recovered In
the fifth round, and Donahue piled up a
big lead This was tho only round the
visitor had to his credit.
The other bouts were good. Eddie
wagond won q slam-bang bout from
Shamus O'Brien in the semiwindup and
Ah Chung, n Chinese athlete drew with
Darby Casper. Leo Vincent received q
scientific lacing from Frankie Flemming
and frankie Conifry, who made such
terrible showing against Johnny kiloane'
beat Stanley HinlSle.
Dougherty Is Through
The Kilbane-Cha 15-round battle at
Leiperville is off, so far as Jimmy Dough-
erty is concerned. Jeemes is rather indig-
nant over the treatment he received at
the hands of the Baltimore challenger,
and gives vent to the following:
There has been great deal of contro-
versy regarding the promotion of the
Kilba me- Chaney boxing match. and want
to state that through with II for
good. had arranged for the building OF
an open-air arena large enough to seat
20 900 persons, and offered a purse OF
SiO, 900 for the boxers. Kilbane was to
have received $1,000 and the remainder
was Chaneys share. Jack McGutgan was
to have refereed the contest.
I agreed to put UP $4,000 certified
check with the EVENING LEpGER of Phla-
delphia to guarantee the boxers that the
bout would come off. and Insisted that
the boxers put UP $4,000 each for weight
and appearance. Kilhane was satisfied
but CLANCY would not talk business. He
has resorted to excuses and alibies so
long that l am convinced that the alleged
marvel from Baltimore is afraid to meet
the worlds champion.
1t seems strange that challenger should
assume the attitude of CLANCY, but per-
hnpB II Is the custom In these times He
has been offered money than he
ever received in his life before. and he
turned It down. He insists on boxing in
a contest where n referee gives de-
cison. l could not possibly stage bout
like that as 1t would revert into "A prize
fight.

together. and now that find 1t impossible
