Penn basketball victory in which he
has participated.
Sweeney Shut Out
Graves and Rosenast, the two new
mon on the Penn five, made quito an
impression in the first league game at
Weightman Hall. Graves held Ham
mill to Que field goal and scored twice.
RoseDast registered once. Both played
good floor games. Sweeney gave great
exhibition OF foul shooting, caging ten
out Of eleven. but he didn't get into
the scoring from the court.
Yale was right in the thick OF it in
the first half, which closed Is to 10 in
Penn's favor, but right after the start
Of the second half the Red aud Blue
swept through the Blue like Mayor
Moore through the Ware combination.
Not one field goal was tailed by the
Ellis in the second half, their only points
coming through fouls by Captain Van
Slyck. who netted ten out of twelve
throughout the whole game.
Van Slyck and Cohen were the only
Yale men to show anything. The Yale
captain is flash and would stand out
much more prominently against any
other guard except Captain Peck

MUFF BY DOOM LOST
FIRST GAME FOR ALEX
Former Phil Boss Dropped
Ball and Battle for Young
Moran Recruit Nine Years
Ago

CHARLEY DOOM was elated. His
" Phillies. with Earl Moore and Jack
Rowan iu the box. had won the first
two games of the infant season on the
New York Polo Grounds from the pow
crful Giants, picked by most experts as
the favorites in the 1911 National
League race.
"All right. Pat. I'll let your young
wonder try his luck against the Giants
tomorrow" Doom told Pat Moran, his
coach, on the night of April IL,
1911
well. don t worry about him trying
his luck. That young fellow don't need
any luck with the stuff he's got.
The young fellow referred to was
Grover Clevelanc Alexander, now the
premier pitcher of the National
League. "Alecli" didn't get his Ma
tonal League start against the Giants.
Early on the morning of April IA, the
old wooden stands on the Polo Grounds
were destroyed by the most spectacular
baseball fire in the history of the game.
As Il result of the fire Alexander got
his chance the next day. April Is. when
he was pittcd against the lowly Boston
Braves. Alexander rather disappointed
his tutor. Pat Moran. in his opening
start. for he blew I too lead in the
eighth inning and was defeated in the
tenth inning by score of j to 4. How
ever, it was a muff ut the plate by
Doom which lost Alexander his first big
league game.
Boston made only seven hits of him,
out they buuched three 10 the eighth in
ming. The first ball that Alexander
pitched to National League batsmau

This is a tale of double knockout

and Referee Joe Grifro were the fall
guys. But, according to Hoyle. neither
should be counted as being defeated:
The setting occurred in the third round

night
It all happened Tits way: johnson
was making one of his aerial attacks
as Joe O'Donncll came tearing ill., The
latter's impetus was stronger, and
when the battlcrs collided they both
Topped to the floor. with ODonnell
on top. The back of Patsy's head bit
the mating; he lost all interest in tue
proceedings.
For some unknown reason Referee
Critic started TO practice Arithmetic
over the fallen form of johnson. AS
Patsy was not dropped by blow. hun
dreds of fans arose to their feet en-
massc, Noicing their disapproval of q
count. The entire club was in an up
roar.
BY the time Critic had reached

the south gallery had wound up and
uncorked perfectly directed shot off

head, and the orange squashed there

| However, Critic resumed tolling after
looking around. dumfounded, seeking
his nemesis. At the count of nine
johnson hoped to his feet. O'Donnel
rushed Patsy several times. The Tren
ton jumping jack made only a feeble
attempt to protect himself, and then
Critic. after whispering hurriedly with
the Semiconscious boxer. stepped be-
tween the glovemcn and waved O'Don-
nell to his corner.
Because of the stand taken by the

victory. No Knockout can be jottet
down against the referee because it was
ing genius was.
When Critic was permitted to make
an announcement in self defense hi
said that Johnson had admitted he was
hurt, so that there was nothing else fol
Joe TO do but stop the bout. Patsy
later said he either misunderstood GriffC
or didn' hear what Joe was saying, be
