YALE FIVE WINS

Syracuse Is Beaten on Home Court by
 Sons of Eli After Six Years of Un-
 conquered Regime.
 Syracuse, Jan. 5.-Yale defeated the Syracuse university basketball five in the Archbold gymnasium here last night, by a score of 30 to 20. This was the first defeat for Syracuse quintet in more than five years on the home court. Kinney, Yale's clever forward. was the star of the game, scoring sixteen of the thirty points made by his team. At half time Yale led by IA to II.
 Syracuse was the first to tally but the Yale athletes soon broke into the scoring column and took the lead which they held through the remain der of the game. Yale's pass work and defense were too much for Syray cuse, Charley Taft's men completely outplaying the Orange. Coach Dol lard made several changes in the sec ond half in an intellectual attempt to stave off defeat.

 Certain it is that once the A. A. IT, gets started on the work of enforcing the athletic fame" clause many more athletes will find themselves under in vestigation. Adams has been on trial before on the charge that he had sold prizes, but he cleared himself with little trouble.
 Adams is the Olympic standing high jump champion and has won nineteen national titles, indoors ad outdoors. Fines IS one of the best standing high and broad Jumpers in the country.

NO T1GER-wo1vERINE GAME.
Princeton and Michigan Unable t
 Arrange Football Contest.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Jan. 5.-Prince- ton has refused a home-and-home football agreement with Michigan to begin next fall after two months of negotiations between the athletic of- ficials of the two institutions. The Tigers offered Michigan a game at Princeton in 1917, but the refusal of the Fasteners to sign a contract for return game at Ann Arbor the fol- lowing season resulted in the drop ping of negotiations. .
 Michigan found the one-game con- tract with Eastern schools unsatis- factory three years ago. when liar ward refused the Wolverines a return engagement afte the Wolverines had played at Cam bridge. Just who will fill the date formerly occupied by Syracuse on Michigan's 1917 sched- ule is uncertain.

BILL SAYS, ''NO"
Car1'igan Tells New Red Sox Owners He Is Through as Manager-Win Help Team If Needed,

Boston, Jan. civilian Carrigan, on the fence on the Red Sox mana gerial question since the last worlds series, had returned another NO" to Messrs. Frazee and Ward. It Is not, however, as emphatic No" as man. agers who have really quit usually return.
 As we understand 1t, Carrigan has said all along he had no salary dir ferences with the new owners of the worlds champions. They offered him pretty much the earth to return. Car rigan was supposed to have stepped down because of family ties and busi- ness interest in Lewiston, Me.
 Yet, in the same breath if the re- ports from Lewiston are to be believed, Carrigan now offers Frazee and Ward as much of his time next season as they desire. He Is willing to give three or four months to advise the new manager, frame the policy, and so on. Now, Carrigan has been yin baseball too long not to know that too many cooks spoil the broth. An eX- manager hanging around as a board of strategy would be neither comph- mentary nor helpful to the new leader. Baseball is a game of cut or carry Carrigan's announced retirement means absolutely nothing. It may mean that he will take no active part in next seasons games, but he would not be the first bench manager. Yes. terday's answer from Lewiston means nothing more than that Carrigan vii direct the Red Sox from the bench T 1917.
 The reason? There is nobody 1T baseball so badly in need Of man ager's job that he would consent tt play second fiddle, even with world: ! champion of, two successive years.

The Fellowship of Sport.

Even in war there remains cer- tain fellowship in sport that all the hatred of international strife can't destroy.
 When Norman Hunter, the famous English golfer, was reported missing after certain battle, no man worked harder to discover his fate than one of Germany's leading officers who had played golf with Hunter in England before the war. This officer spent nearly two weeks working upon every clew before reporting that Hunter undoubtedly had fallen and had been buried in some unknown grave. Which makes the case all the stronger in that Germany has less of the tra- dition of sport than any other leading country except Russia. ~

Two teams from the United Elec- trio Light and Water company, the Office force and the Meter room, bowled match game on the Aetna alleys last evening, without any chances of some of the records of local bowlers becoming endangered. The excellent eye training secured by the meter room boys in figuring up the bills of what the public is indebt- ed to the company, stood them well. and as result the pen wielders were forced to succumb to a three time de- feat. Smith of the victors was high single score man of the match with 1O3, while Sage his teammate bowled the most consistent game, annexing total score of 281. Wilfred Dun lay was the "star" for the losers. The scores follow:

As the match was for only 26o points schaefer never got a chance to get started, and Hoppe retired without missing. The story from San Francisco credited Hoppe with new worlds record, but that is erroneous. In the first place, no

STAR ATHLETES
 MAY BE SUSPENDED
Adams and Fines Said to Be
 Capitahzing Sport Fame

] New York, Jan. 5.-While the Anna teur Athletic Union has taken no action to enforce the regulation l against the capitalization of athletic | fame, which it last winter incorporat- | ed into it's rules on amateurism it was learned yesterday that the officials l of the governing body were getting l ready, to proceed against several ath- l letes of more than ordinary promin- ence.
 The names of Platt Adams of the New York Athletic club and F lward l.. Fines of the Bronx Church House, | both experts in the standing high l jump, were mentioned as the leading | performers who may come under the l ban of the Amateur Athletic Union. It is declared by certain men in the councils of the A. A. U. that Adams who sells sporting goods in Newark comes under the capitalization of athletic fame" clause and is not elig- 1 igle for competition as an amateur. l Likewise they hold that Emes who sells medals and other jewelry given 1 as prizes in athletic events, is also violating the rules. Fines is asso- ciated in business with Harry Smith of the Bronx Church House, who, with l Abel Kiviat, was declared a profes-
 sional two years ago. 4 1 Emcs Sends in Entry.
 l Some time ago an official of the Irish American Athletic club was re- quested by the A. A. U. headquarters here to notify Fred Rubien if the club received the entries of Adams and Emes for its annual indoor games.
 Thus far Adams has not entered. but yesterday Emes sent in his entry
 blank for the standing high jump.
 Notice thereof, accompanied by
 Emes' signed entry blank, will be sent to Rubien today It is expected that an immediate investigation into I his case will be made. Emes is cer- tain to make strong fight against 1 disqualification. Under the rules
 capitalization of athletic fame" Is
 not an offence for which an athlete
 may be declared professional.
 It was said by New York A. c. ath- ] letes yesterday that Adams has for some time been expecting the light ming to strike. He will have a much harder task than Fines if he chooses
 to oppose any possible action by the 1 A. A. U. ,+@
 A Similarity of Cases.
 The cases of Adams and Fines arc lL.
 Loughlin, Billy Johnston, Johnny
 Strachan and Tom Bundy who will be
 disqualified by the United States Ma
 tional Lawn Tennis association if pro-
 posed legislation is approved at the meeting here on February g. The ath- ] letes' cases are also similar to those of Francis Ouimet and the other Massachusetts golfers who came un-
 der the ban of the United States Golf
 association and who now seek rein-
 statement.
 There seems to be concerted move-
 ment among amateur sport bodies in
 this country to enforce legislation
 which aims for the most rigid anna
 teurism and to pass new rules to fur ther that end. An attempt was made
 not so long ago in certain quarters
 to put Ted Meredith of Pennsylvania 1 on the carpet for issuing a newspaper

Evans best chance to make a suc-. cessful defensive stand is in the amar teur. There is still doubt as to Out~. nets reinstatement, and further doubt as to Travers' ability to get back to his old game, with only odd intervals open for play. And with Travers and Ouimet out, there Is no one left with an even chance against the new chamy pion. Bob Gardner is a fine golfers but in something like dozen matchesl against Evans last year the Hinsdals star failed to record victory.
 With Evans, Travers and Ouimet around the best, the next amateuH championship would be one of thu greatest tournaments ever held, for IT
 addition to these three the assaults q such golfers as Gardner, Kirkby. etc4 would carry uncertainty almost to tn final putt. S M It is greatly to be hoped that Jerr& Travers will find time enough to pla& in which to re-establish his old gani& and that Ouimet will be taken bac9 into the fold. # In regard to the open championships it isn't likely the professionals will b& beaten again from top place.
