HARVARD BEATS
TIGERS AT HOCKEY

Boston. Feb. 8 - Harvard and
Princeton played the Second game Of
their hockey series here last night.
The Crimson, after being badly scared
in the first half, made a strong rush
in the stretch and finally won the
game by 4 to 8. Harvard needed the
game to save the series. The teams
will play off their tie at the Boston
rink on Feb. "a.
The teams were at it for seven min
utes before Harvard, through some
very pretty combining by Morgan and
Percy, got it's first goal on a. short
side shot by the former. The Tigers,
however, soon tied the score, chiefly
through luck, as Hills, in making
pass oGt from behind Harvards net,
sent the puck against the Harvard
captains stick, spinning it back into
the cage. Schoen soon sent the Tigers
ahead by making short drive after
sharp pass from HUMPHREYS The
half ended with Princeton in posses
sion of to / lead.
Harvard went into. the second half
full Of ginger. In about six minutes
Percy tied the score, picking up
pass from Rice and shooting when at
full speed. Rice then sent HarvaN
ahead with a 15-yard lift from di-
rectly in front of the Princeton cage.
Harvard's final goal was made by
Baldwin, a substitute, after racing
nearly the length of the rink. Schoen's
final goal for Princeton was made
from a pass from Sculiy in the last 10
seconds.

Thrilling Dog Race

Anoke, Mimi, Feb. 3-With all the

when they passed through Big Lake
last night, it became evident that the
race would be decided in eleventh
hour spurts.

the finish under severe handicaps has

the former Boston chemist, who twice
has slipped by them in the night and
taken the lead, only to be overhauled
the next day.
Except for Hartman, the drivers
and their dogs were reported to be in
good conditions for the final dash,
which is expected to end at Como

displaying signs Of extreme fatigue,
while his dogs needed the utmost
urging to continue.

SLIM SALLEE OF
GIANTS HAS BEEN
PLAYING II YEARS

Harry F. Sallee. the elongated Giant
southpaw, is 80 years old today, as he
was born in Higginsport, O., Feb. 8,
1885 Slim got himself in bad with
some Of his diamond colleagues last
month when he stepped up to the
plate and attached his signature to a
1917-model contract, without as much
as saying, "by your leave,' to Dave
Fu1tz. The Sheriff of Higginsport, or,
as he is sometimes called, the Human
Stringbean, was the first player to
spread ink on one Of the new contract
forms recently adopted by the Ma
tional Commission.
Sal has been playing ball for a liv-
ing-and, gee, how he hates it-since
away back in 1905, when he landed a
Job with Meridian, Miss, in the Cotton
States league. Before that NE had
made quite reputation as twirler
in his. native village of Higginsport
Even yet his neighbors delight in tell
ing of the great game Scatter" Sallee
once pitched against Augusta, KY, on
a certain Decoration Day. The regu-
lar pitcher was missing as the time set
for the game approached.
Sallee was found asleep in livery
barn, and was pressed into service,
pitching the club to victory and thus
winning the eternal regard Of his
townsmen. Slim pitched for Birming-
ham in the Southern league after his
Mississippi engagement, and in 1907
was turned over to the New York
Americans. They sent him to Will
Transport, Pr, and the ST. Louis Car
dihals shared him in 1908. Slim stuck
to the Cards until last year, when he
soured on the Mound City. and was
sold to the Giants

BOXING LAWS
NOT OBSERVED
SAYS WHITMAN

Governor Whitman, in discussing
his determination to wipe out the
present boxing ring contests, admitted
yesterday at the Hotel st. Regis that
boxing is healthy, manly sport and.
IL properly conducted, does no harm.
But the Governor is strongly opposed
to the way the sport has been con-
Quoted under the Frawley law. He
says so-called boxing contests now
are nothing more than prize fights
and he will strongly urge the repeal
Of the present law.

jOyed it very much. The main object
Of boxing, as now conducted, is that

Killed in the ring at Albany did not

ne to indicate that boxing has a de-

: 1t was recalled that when a foot

Until time was up.

believe it is better to have the present

Twill the repeal Of the law affect
amateur bouts % the Governor was
asked.

two men from boxing, as long as it is
not an exhibition. to which the public
can obtain admission by paying a sti-

courts"

Jack Dempsey Won
From Fogarty in 9th

One of the most terrific bouts ever
staged in New York-or anywhere
was that thirty-one years ago today.
in which Jack Dempsey, the middle
weight champion, knocked out Jack
F'ogarty in the 9th round The
men fought with two-ounce gloves.
for the middleweight championship
Of America, a purse Of $4,000, and
a percentage Of the gate receipts for
the winner. Dempsey was really q
welterweight at that timey but that
division hadn't been invented, so he
held the middleweight title.
The Nonpareil weighed in at 143
pounds, while Fogarty, who was
Philadelphian, weighed $50 pounds.
From the first blow Dempsey direct
ed much of his attention to Fogarty's
optics, and by the time ten terrific
rounds had been fought one Of Fogar-
tvs eyes was swollen shut and the
other was little better In the
twentieth round Dempsey landed a
blow that cracked Fogarty's jaw.
Still he wouldn't quit, and, almost
blind and with a smashed jaw. he
gamely fought on until Dempsey
knocked him out in the 9th round.

PLAYERS ENJOY
EASY Time; FANS
NOT SYMPATHETIC

If ballplayers have grievances
against club owners, the latter have
many, against their mercenary hire
lings-or some of them at least, writes
Ed Wray in the ST. Louis Post--Dis-
patch. One clause Of every players
contract is violated annually and by
every lukewarm player who signs a
document. Here it is: The player
agrees to render for the club owner
his best services as a ball player.
and he agrees to keep himself in the
best possible condition from the date
to the termination of this contract
Despite the splendid pay and easy
work, certain players cannot be faith
full to their employers in these two
vital particulars, although they have
almost six months in which to relax
and pursue their own whims after the
season is over.
AS nearly as an outsider can judge,
therefore the ball player who would
strike against his present Slavery"
ought to be examined in his top story.
He doesn't know a good thing when
he has it. His shortsightedness may
cause him to open his eyes, should he
carry his view to the extreme of strik-
ing.
He will get what is coming to him,
then--less pay and more work
The ball players afduous. life, in
nutshell form, looks like this:
He works approximately 500 hours
year.
He is paid from $4,000 to $4,000.
He has five months leisure. sub
ject to no orders.
He has his travelling and other 'ex-
penses paid.
He gets enormous bonuses for sue
cess, and no penalties for failure.
He. has been known to receive as
high as IS for every ball pitched for
an entire season.
His labor is play; it also keeps him
in splendid health.
His employer pays to put him in
shape to do the very work for which
he is so exorbitantly rewarded.
And yet he wants to strike!
The publics patience is about end
ed; these petty prima donnas should
be allowed to go back to chauffeur
ing, conductoring or whatever else
they might have done, had not base
ball interviewed and lifted them out of
the dust. A year at real work would
awaken many of them to just what
soft snap they enjoy, as ball players

SAY PLAYERS
ARE DESERVING
fraternity NOW

New York, Feb. Capt. T. l.. Hus-
ton, part owner of the Yankees, and
a Spanish war veteran who is again
ready to respond to a call to colors if
necessary, believes that David L.
Fultz will eventually wake up to the
fact that more than a score of Amer
lean League players have deserted
fraternity in the last week or more
and have signed new contracts with
their respective clubs.
The majority Of these players, &C
cording to Capt. Huston, have writ
ten letters requesting that their sign
ing be kept out of the newspapers if
possible.
MANY American League players in
the last week or so have signed new
contracts" said the owr1er Of the
Yankees yesterday in his office. eve

wish for the coming season, except
two. These players we can sign to-
morrow if we go up 1t is not a
question of fraternity with them, but
q question of more money.
while I was at Dover Hall last
week I had several talks with Ban
johnson and Charles Comiskey con-
corning the so-caI1ed baseball strike.
Comiskey declared that he had near
ly all Of his players under contract
and Furthermore many of his men
were not in sympathy with the frater-
nifty in it's present controversy.
johnson told me that before leav-
ing Chicago he had word from Jim
Dunn of the Cleveland Indians and
Phil Ball, owner Of the st. Louis
Browns. Dunn insisted that his play
ers were satisfied with their salaries
for the coming season and only a few
Of them remained unsigned Ball
said that his players were signing fast.
Therefore, the American League
will be practically intact when the
bell rings for the beginning of the
season. The Yankees will have the
same players on the field as last sea-
son, and unless series of unfortu-
men held for his death, including
McDonald's opponent, his seconds,
the referee and officers of the club,
were discharged from bail.

The announcement by Matchmaker
Dan Hatfield that no introductions
from the ring will be made at the
East End boxing show next Thursday
night, will meet with the approval Of
the fans The audience in recent

the custom Of allowing numerous box

show is one which promises lots of
excitement. Young McAuliffe will
