Ralph L. SPOTS, the national amateur

From a field of forty-sevcn, the big
gest SO far this season, he won the
high scratch gun in the race of 100
clays by breaking a grand total Of 95.
Under the conditions it was dis
play of fine trap work, for the light
was poor and every now and again
nasty swirl Of wind would come tum-
bling in off Long Island Sound. In
the special 25 birds Spots gave an
other exhibition of his accuracy, for
he won out after a tie with A. P Ben
nett.

took part in this race. which was

They shot off the same number of clays,

No Match for

match played at the st. Nicholas Rink
last night. The score was 10 to I, and
It was apparent that even this large

desired.
The visitors were wofully weak in
practically every department of the
game. and lucky shot from Hughes.
the left wing of the Montreal team,
alone saved them from the ignominy
of shut-out. The knights gave every
evidence of lack of training and con-
dition, while on the other hand the Wan
derers showed plenty of spirit and dash
until the score became so one-sided
that they began to take matters in an
easier fashion.
The superb laying of Mickey Roach,
the New Workers. rover, was the fea-
ture of the contest. Mickey just
ploughed through his opponents as
though they were made of paper, pill
ing up four goals in the first half and
two in the second. Smith, the centre,
Dufresne and Mccarthy accounted for
the other tallies made by the Wander

McNeal Beats Burns
At Indoor Tennis

Harry McNeal, professional at the
Heights Casino, defeated Jimmy Burns,
the Ardsley Club pro. yesterday after
noon in the first indoor lawn tennis
matches held this winter on the
Heights Casino courts. McNeal won by
score of 3--6. 6-2, 6-2. Cd. In a
doubles match Burns and II. l. Foster
defeated McNeal and Harry Parker by
a score Of 10-8. 3-6, 6-2.
1t was McNeal's wonderful skill with
the half-volley shot that caused Burns's
defeat In the opening set the Casino
pro did not have these shots going
under full control. and Burns, reaching
the net. cut off his opponents returns
on the full volley.
In the last three sets, however. Nc
Neal took the ball on the half-volley
from every position in the court, with
the result that Burns was rarely able
to advance with any success toward
the net position, the ball coming back
to him with such speed that he was
constantly being caught out Of position.

rinceton Will
Restore Varsity
Athletic Teams

PRINCETON, N. j., Jan. 12.-To con
t'nue Intercollegiate athletics, but
carry them on with less extensive
schedules and reduced expenses, as a
means of military training was the
policy outlined last night for the
Princeton University Athletic Associa-
ton at postponed meeting OF the
Board OF Athletic Control The follow
ing resolution was adopted by the board
as basis Of the Tigers athletic plans
this spring:
of the development of athletic sports
as means of military training. and we
offer the facilities OF the association 70
the use of the student battalion for
that purpose; and in the second place,
we approve the idea of having inter
collegiate athletic competition on a
simple and inexpensive plan which
shall not interfere with the military
training, but which shall maintain the
athletic traditions Of Princeton Uni
versity.'
AS a result of this meeting, which
was attended by Chairman Dean, How
Wright, j. II. Barret, '1S, and r. F.
Makepiece, 10, it is thought likely that
Princeton will be represented bv some
sort OF teams, either formal varsity or
informal, in both track and baseball
this spring.
The chief objection to regular var
sity teams is that the time needed for
practice will tend to decrease the
amount Of interest taken by the stu
dents in the courses offered in military
drill, ordnance, navigation and so on
AS it is the one thing which the board
OF control is striving to avoid this
year, 1t IS considered certain that in
the event of the formation Of varsity
track and baseball squads, the sched-
ules OF the teams will be considerably
reduced and the time allotted to prac-
tlce materially decreased.
New-York tribune., 1918-01-13

The Yankees went back to Macon this
year for twofold purpose. There is
big military camp close by and the SOL
dlers are sure to show some interest in
major baseball The Braves were to
appear at Macon against New York IN
the first game of a tour home, whose
object was the entertainment of the
various cantonments of the Atlantic
slope.
If the Macon grounds have been so
seriously disturbed as reports from the
South intimate, Manager Miller Hug
gins will no doubt select some other
city as the scene of the training activi-
ties. The club got good results at
Savannah, Ga, in 1915. Hotel accom-
modatlons have been vastly improved
since that time. If MacGn cannot make
good on accommodations Savannah ap-
pears sure of entertaining Miller Hug
gins's club this spring Of 1918.
Sparrow Mails Contracts
Harry Sparrow, business manager Of
the Yankees, yesterday mailed the con-
tracts for 1918 to unsigned Yankee
players. There are thirty-five players
on the reserve list of the New York
americans. 1--WE oI THESE are alfedoJ
under contract from holdover docu-
ments The list includes j. Franklin
Baker. Wally Pipp, Bob ShawAcy. Les
lie Nunamaker and Joe Gedeon. Thirty
new contracts, therefore, are being for,
Warded. So far as can be learned there
are no radical salary cuts among the
list of documents forwarded to the
athletes.
the lot Of major league managers 5
the case Of johnny McGraw, of the
Giant champions. Mac is reap,ng the
reward Of his initiative. as expressed
in a pennant. All the boys are tum-
bling over themselves to get into line
for next year.
The contracts of two players of un-
usual Importance to the Clan. aggrega-
ton of 1918 were turned into the club
Offices yesterday. These were from
! Rube Benton and Jimmy Smith.
Benton shared with Ferdie Schupp
and Slim Sallee the honor of bringing
a pennant to New York last year. He
, shared with Schupp. too. the few hon
ors that accrued to McGraw's CLUB from
the world series against the White Soy.
When the Giants returned from tw6
straight defeats at Chicago it was an
apparently hopeless task that confront
ed New York Benton stepped in and
shut out Chicago in one Of the greatest
games ever pitched in a world series.
He put back in the running team that
looked to be to 100 bet.
Jimmy Smith is counted upon 10 play
second base for the Giants the coming
season. He lacks nothing but expert
ence. He was Charlie Herzog's under
study last season and got away with
the assignment in excellent fashion
Though he did not have the spirit, or
pepper, of Herzog he hit much better
than the late captain of the Giants, and
his fielding was up to the most highly
approved major standard Smith most
admirably filled the breach whenever
Herzog was missing.
Because of Smiths inexperience, Nc
Graw brought back Laughing Larry
Doyle to the Giants. Doyle, fading
veteran. will school Smith in the art
of second base play. Larry. also. will
act as a pinch hitter. He is batter
of redoubtable courage, one OF the bcs.
pinch hitters of the game.
