PH|LADELP PHIA WAS PETER MAHER'S
 JONAH CITY

Joe Choynski knocked out Peter Maher in the second round at PhiIa- delphia on Jan. 26, 1903, fifteen years ago today. The Quaker City was cer- tainly an unlucky town for Peter, but, although he always insisted that he was given raw deal there, he fought the majority of his latter battles in the Pennsylvania metropolis. Joe Goddard, the Australian, started the trouble by knocking out the Irishman in the first round at Philadelphia in 1893. In 1902 Peter again visited the City of Brotherly Love, and was knocked out in the second round by Gus Ruhlin. Later in the same year Kid Carter turned the same trick in the same town in the same number of rounds, and then came the Choynski Contest, in which the California He brew put Peter to sleep with neatness and dispatch. After that Maher made several trips to Philadelphia, and was knocked out by Jack Munroe, Jack Williams and Jack Fitzgerald.

HARRY CREE ONE OF BEST CARDS
 IN RING

Harry Greb, who meets Zulu Kid in this city next Tuesday night in the 15-1Dund bout that tops the all-star card of the Union Boat club at the Casino, is one of the best known and much sought middleweights in this country. That Harry is confident that he will have little trouble beating Zulu is evinced in the report that he has consented to meet Gus Christie at La Trobe, Pa, the night after his showing here. He has also been matched with Mike O'Dowd, the mid dleweight champion.
 Local interest in next weeks bout centers mostly in the bout between Al Thomas of New York and Louis Bogash of Bridgeport. Both are training at Hartmann's gymnasium.
 Lew Brown, manager Of Chic Brown, on behalf of his new lightweight, Johnny Martin of New Haven, says that his man will have no trouble put ting a crimp in Young Eddy's career in the other ten-round attraction. Lew has an idea that in Martin he has the making of a real champ and says he will be up here with everything he owns to support his charge against Eddy. The latter has met some very fast. battlers and not so long ago slipped Young Rector g. good beating.

". PARKER SHELBY WINS
 TITLE AT BELLAIRE GOLF
MI N MS LIKELY TO BETTER HIS
 STICK WORK

The transfer of Stuffy McInnis from
 the Athletics to the Boston Red Sox should enable McInnis to hit from twenty to thirty points higher next season than his averages of the past three seasons. McInnis is the only star batter in thes American League who has been unable to fatten his av- craze at the expense of the joke pit ching staff Connie Mack has had since 1914.
 It frequently has been a question how much McInnis would improve in hitting if he had a chance to bat against the Athletic pitchers instead of playing first base behind them. It is a certainty that had McInnis been able to bat against the Athletic pitch CTS in 1916, when he hit. 295, he could have picked up the necessary five points to have kept his averages in tact The 1916 average is the only break in this chain.
 In addition to having the oppor- tunity of batting against Mack's joke pitchers next season, McInnis will be spared the necessity of going up against the best pitching staff in the ieague-Ruth, Leonard, Shore, Mays and Bush. Provided McInnis continues to bat as well as formerly, it is easy to see how he can raise his batting average twenty-five points by the new connection.

N. E. LIGHTWEIGHT I TITLE CLAIMED
 BY HARTLEY
New York, Jan. 26, 1918.

Sporting Editor, The Times:
 Peter Hartley, '"The New Durable Dane,' now of Derby, Conn.,, claims the lightweight title of New England and has posted $500 with Frank Smith of the New Haven Register to bind his claim as such. True, Chic Brown of New Haven and Battling Kunz boxed for the title the other night and Brown weighed 40 while Kunz weighed in the neighborhood of 150 pounds. These are fine fellows to be masquerading as lightweights.
 Here is what Hartley will agree to do with either one of the above men tioned, if they dispute his claim to the lightweight championship of New England, Kunz or Brown. If they will post a substantial forfeit for weight and will make the lightweight limit, Hartley will agree to stop either of them within F rounds and if he fails will turn his end over to the Athletic Fund for the Connecticut troops, and if either Kunz or Brown will fight winner -take-all, Hartley will turn over their end to the same fund.
 Trusting that you will find space for the above, am,
 Very truly yours,
 LEO P. FLYNN, Manager of ''The New Durable Dane.' g

Brooklawn Player Triumphs at Annual January Tour nament in Southern Win ter Resort Shows Stami- na in Clever Victory Over Odds.

Bellaire Heights, Fla, Jan. 26- W. Parker Seeley of Broklawn won the annual January golf tournament here yesterday when he defeated k. T. Rolfe of Chicago by up all 4 to play. The final match was played over the 36-hole route and the Con- necticut golfer had his work cut out for him, as he was down at one stage of the morning round. He re- gained of these holes, and when the pair went to luncheon he was only 1 down.
 The second half was played over the championship course. which was a better test of golf. Rolfe started out in brilliant style. He won the first hole, but the next two went to Seeley. Rolfe got the fourth hole when Seeley got in a trap. The tide began to change at the seventh, and Seeley pressed his advantage and won five holes in a row.
 The twelfth was halved in and the thirteenth in 5, but Rolfe lost all chance to prolong the contest at the fourteenth, when he put his brassie into the railroad track and finally conceded the hole and the match.
 In the second division R. S. Porter of BaltusroI defeated W. L. Allen of Philadelphia by to 3. H. A. Wrenn of New York defeated L. Brown of Oakmont in the third flight by 1 up in 37 holes. c. W. Rhodes of Cam bridge Springs defeated H. H. Rack ham of Chicago in the fourth flight by 5 and 4.

prepare students for college-to es- tablish system of physical education which would begin with childhood.
 This act alone would have stupen- dous and far-reaching result for good. For one thing it would give our col leges a personnel fit to play games and pave the way for sport all in each educational instution. Within the col lege the mental parallel could well be applied to the physical. Immediately we confront a schedule in physical culture which calls for certain cleo tive games and certain compulsory calisthenics- All that is needed is time for each, a detail that is easily ar ranged. Proper instruction in both games and physical culture should be supplied.
 Calisthenics are all right, but like mass exercises they do not make for character. This brings us to the mat ter of intercollegiate athletics. Again we must follow the mental parallel. 1 Why not make the intercollegiate team-the varsity-the goal of physi- cal effort just as we make the Honor Man the goal of the mental, recogniz- ing that a happy combination of the | two is best fitted for that which fol- lows Commencement. The varsity, as we know, is the stimulus, or should be the stimulus, in comprehensive plan of physical aducation.
 There is above all else the financial problem. How better can it be solved than by using the receipts from our intercollegiate games for working out a plan of this kind?
 But if we continue intercollegiate sport even under such conditions it's so-called evils: professionalism, pro- selyting, great efforts to win and oth- CTS too numerous to mention will re- main with us. To take care of all this would it not be best to confine our varsity teams to the Senior class alone? Just as the Class Day Honor Men must prove their worth by four years of mental effort.
 Such 8 scheme would rid us of many of the present evils of intercol- legiate athletics; it would make our varsity teams truly representative of the educational work of the college; and it would give to each student the opportunity of winning his letter as the reward of merit. With this goal in view would not intramural sport flourish as now dreamed of by its most active advocates?
 Such a plan is educational athletics
 It is practical and it answers a. worlds call for sound minds and sound bod ies for it's leaders. The plan is not the writer's own, but it is a summary of such information as he has been able to obtain from those men who have been thinking deeply about the prac- tical solution of our educationay prob lem of sport for all.
 Whatever plan is adopted we gair nothing by casting aside intercollegi- I ate athletics. Its best features must , be incorporated into a sports for al
 programme. Those who would cas- l intercollegiate sport into the scrar 1 heap are of the type that forgee Marathon when finding a Greek root } To them the Olympic games sugges } barbarity and active transitive verb! l of Q dead language. They have of 1 i ifered no fitting substitute for wha - they would discard. Likewise they = have forgotten the ideals of youth. ,l Copyright, 1918, by Sol Metzger)

.Yanks Seem in No Hurry
 to Sign Their Contracts
Harry Sparrow Getting Anxious, for Papers Were Mailed to Players Two
 Weeks Ago.

New York, Jan. 26-A monthrago fhe Yankees had a ball club, but no second baseman- Today they have a second baseman, but no ball club.
 The whole team is holding out, or hiding out, or something serious or mysterious. They are not sending in their signed contracts. They are ap- parently not in any hurry to join MT. Derrill Pratt in next years campaign to make the wold pleasant for democ- racy at 155th Street and Eighth ave- nue.
 Not a word from Pipp or Peck or Baker, the other giants of the big new infield. Not word from GilhooIey or Tom Hendryx or Miller or Hugh High, the outfielders. Bob Shawkey, Mogridge, Ray Caldwell, Allen Rus sell-potent pitchers-are silent. Al Walters is 50 busy playing winter ball he hasn't had time to whip off his big mitt and sign his name to a contract Where is Slim Love? And Paddy Baumann?
 Seriously, the Yankee contracts all went out two weeks ago today, and Harry Sparrow hsan't heard a word from any one. He can't understand why the boys are so backward about coming forward. The Giants got sev- enteen signed contracts in ter days The Yankee score is none in fourteen days,
 At Yankee headquarters yesterday i was asserted that no very sharp cut: have been made in the salary figure: sent out, so the idea that the player! are holding out for more money wa Immediately discarded. Possibly the! are writing to Col. Ruppert to ar range for the return of part of theil salaries to be used in the purchase O thrift stamps or Liberty bonds.

20 TO SHOT AT FAIR GROUNDS WINS

New Orleans, Jan. 26-Mary's Beau gave the racegoers at the Fair Grounds yesterday a severe jolt when she ran home ahead of a big field of platers in the first race. Before the contest she was considered to have little or no chance of success, with the result that few racegoers bet on her, and she went to the post almost un- backed at the long price of 20 to 1.
 Even her owner, R. J. Ferris and her stable hands refused to wager on her. Their chagrin was keen when she stepped over the six furlong route ahead of her field and landed the purse without doing her best. Dios- coride, which was 10 to 1, finished second, and Baby Star, another 10 to shot, was third

BASEBALL AT YALE
 SEEMS ASSURED

New Haven, Jan. 26-Yale under graduates appear to be only mildly interested in the recommendation by the Advisory committee on Athletics that intercollegiate sports be renewed this spring.
 Prof. Corwin has not yet made an authoritative statement concerning Yale's stand and may not do so until a meeting here on Feb. 22, when the alumni sentiment will be sounded.
 No definite plans, in fact, have been made as to track athletics and rowing, but intercollegiate baseball is almost sure to be resumed as Charles A. Stewart of Dallas, Tex, the manager, has been instructed to arrange a schedule of games, including an Eas- ter trip.
 It is hoped here that if a varsity team is developed that games will be arranged with Princeton and liar yard.

OUIMET'S AGAIN AN
 AMATEUR

Philadelphia, Jan. 26 - Corporal Francis Ouimet of the National Army, Camp Devens, is an amateur golfer once more. After having been under suspension since April, 1916, Ouimet was reinstated by the United States Golf association at the annual meeting at the Bellevue -Stratford last night without a dissenting vote, and amid a storm of applause the delegates adopted the recommenda- tion of the executive committee, that in view of the fact that the former American amteur and open champion had entered the national service and had discontinued the sale of sporting goods, he be reinstated. It had not been expected that the Ouimet case would come up. The resolution put ting Ouimet back in the amateur ranks follows:
 'Whereas, Francis Ouimet, upon entering the military service of the United States, severed his personal connection with the management of the firm of Ouimet & Sullivan, and thereby discontinued the practices which were decided to be in violation of the United States Golf Association, therefore, be it resolved, by the ex- ecutive committee of the United States Golf Association that he be and hereby is. reinstated as an anna teur golfer"
 Owing to war conditions and poor transportation facilities from the West, the South and New England the meeting was poorly attended. In addition to disposing of the Ouimet matter the delegates voted not to hold the national amateur champion ship as long as the war continued. The delegates completely avoided any action upon the questions of amateur ism, stynie or rule changes and elected officers without dissenting voice.

SKIING TO MAKE BIG BID FOR
 FAVOR

New York, Jan. 26.-Skiing, as fine and as old sport as there is on the calendar, has invaded New York. Heretofore the ancient sport of the NorSemen, while featured strongly Tn the middle west since 1881, when the first American ski club was organized in Minneapolis, has been a stranger in the East, except at Hanover, N. H., where the Dartmouth oollegians have as splendid a ski run and slide as can be found outside of St. Moritz, Holnenkollen, and other European winter sport centres. On Monday morning, under the auspices of the Finnish American A. C., the first open ski race ever held in New York city will take place on the Harlem River Driveway along the west bank of the Hudson.
 The ski run here on Monday will be preceded on Sunday by the annual national professional and amateur ski jumping championships of America in Cary, H.. under the auspices of the Norge Ski club of Chicago.
 l The local event will be an ordinary five mile "run' The title event in
 Cary is jump" for which special steel slide has been built on which, should weather conditions be good, it is expected the winner will hang up new worlds record. The present accepted worlds record is 152 feet, and was made by Sigurd Hanson of Fergus Falls, Minn., at Ironwood, Mich, February IS, 1912. Oscar Gun derson did an even 163 feet at Mo dunn, Norway, February IS, 1912, but for some reason or other the record was not allowed. Neither were Rag nard Omtnedt's 192 feet g inches nor the 203 feet jump made by Henry Hall
 at Steamboat Springs, Colorado, last March.
 Skiing is one of the most ancient of
 sports. The joys of it are sung in the
 Morse sagas. Thor himself is said to
 have fashioned the first pair of skis out of the limb of the ash tree that grows in the centre of the earth, just
 as he made the first pair of skates out of the brisket bone of an OK. Lodi the messenger of the gods in ValhaIla, used to make his journeys
 on pair of magic skis corresponding to the winged sandals of the Greek
 Mercury.
 The ski is the Scandinavian snow
 shoe. Ski, in fact, is the Icelandic
 word for snowshoe. From time inn
 memorial skiing has been featured in
 the Scandinavian countries. For half
 a century annual European ski jump
 ing championships have been staged
 at Holnenkollen and Frognersaeteren, linear Christiana, Norway. The Rus sions and Films have paid more at
 tention to ski running than ski jump , ing. Long jaunts on skis over the ; snow-covered fields of Finland helped give flames Kolehmainen the Won- derful stamina and endurance that , made him the king of long distance
 foot racers.
 Koiehmainen will be among the , athletes who will compete in New York's first open ski run on Monday , John Wink, manager of the Finnish . American A. C., says several other , prominent Swedish and Finnish run , ners will take part. Every one who can manage a pair of ashen blades is invited to take part, the only re-
 uuirements being they must be anna , teurs The run will be of about five miles, with the start and finish al 18th street and Harlem River Drive way. The start will be at 10 a. m.

YALE PRINCETON ALUMNI CLUBS
 IN MERGER

New York, Jan. 26-On March the members of the Princeton Club will abandon the old Stanford White man. sion in Gramercy Park and move en masse to the big new Yale Club at Vanderbilt avenue and F'orty-fourth street. An arrangement which is characterized by officials of each club as ''most happy and satisfactory has been concluded by which Prince-e ton Club members may make them selves as thoroughly at home in the quarters of the Yale Club as the members of the Yale Club are them selves.
 The Princeton men will not occupy separate quarters They will merge absolutely into the Yale-Princeton Club for the duration of the war. The twenty-four story building at Wander bilt avenue and Forty-fourth street, the last word in college club con- struction. convenience and luxury, will be as much their own home as it will be the home of the Yale men. All of the details have been worked out and on February 4 there will be a special meeting of the Princeton Club to ratify the arrangement entered into by their council with the trustees of the Yale Club.
 The merger will solve many prob lens of each club. War service has taken 700 active members from the Yale Club and has removed almost as many from the Princeton Club. Many of these continue to use the clubhouse, but their dues have been remitted as a compliment to and a recognition ot their patriotism. The question of maintenance became 8 serious one The Yale Club particularly faced the problem of keeping a big and expens- i've plant going It issued an invita- tion to the Princeton Club, which was gratefully accepted because the Princetonians had a few special prob lens.
 The Princeton Clubs lease on the Stanford White property was about to expire and the club was not ready to build at Park avenue and Fffty-eightn street, where it bought a site for modern clubhouse. War time condi- tions made it inexpedient to attempt to raise as much money as would be necessary to put through the new house, although the club has accumu- lated a large fund through a. bond issue. Moreover, the alumni of Princeton have never been entirely agreed that the Gramercy Park quar- ters were satisfactorily located, many holding that the house was too far from the club district.
 The proposition submitted by the Yale Club was considered to be ideal by the Princeton Club, although it is an unprecedented and revolutionary step. Officials of the Princeton Club said last night that no hitches in the consummation of the plan are ex- pected.
