RIBBONS WILL
 PLAY TRENTON TEAM TOMORROW

- It is expected that a large crowd will turn out at Colonial hall tomor-' row afternoon to see the Trenton. N. J. five and the Blue Ribbons meet in an Eastern League basketball game. Trenton has a fast club and Manager Leavy of the Ribbons has strengthened his team in order that the Ribbons may make @ better showing against the Jerseymen than they did against Reading last week. The Ribbons will have two new play CTS but the names will not be an- nounced yet.
 Morris Tome, one of the best cen ters in the league, is with Trenton and so is Eddie White who plays on the forward line with George Nor man. The Ribbons hated to part with White but when they entered the Eastern league they had to give up title to players who belonged to clubs already in that organization. The Trenton guards are Andy Suils and Tom Barlow, two -eterans. The Rib bons will have Chris Leonard at cen ter and will use Ashmead and Skeets Wright at guard. The two forwards will be announced tomorrow. The big game will start at 9:15 and the preliminary at 2:15.

 PRINCETON FIVE
 IN CLOSE CAME

New Haven, Jan. 24-Ya1e plunged into a clear lead in the Inter-collegi- ate Basketball League race last night, defeating Princeton, 26 to IS, before a record-breaking crowd. The Yale gymnasium was packed to it's rafters, and hundreds were refused admit tance.

 Yale led at half time, IT to 8, but in the second half Princeton display ed championship form, and quickly registered 1 3 points With only a II to 16 lead, Yale wheeled it's artillery into target range, and, after five min
 utes of scoreless play, wrested a win ming lead.
 Captain Van Slyck of Yale. wht l leads the league in scoring, made | points, throwing six out of ten basket

Jack Sharkey Will
 Meet Wilde Abroad
English Champion Is So Downcast Over His Defeat By American in Milwaukee That He Is Anxious to Redeem Himself Before London Fans.

- New York, Jan. 24.---Jimmy Wilde, fyweight champion of the world, evil dently holds the belief that if he can get Jack Sharkey into the ring in London in a 20-round bout to a ref eree's decision the Milwaukee verdict will be reversed. Quite naturally Wilde boxes with more success in his own country, and the Americans who have faced the midget in England have found the going not at all pleas ant.
 However. Sharkey, the cumulative West Stder, having beaten Wilde in a decisionlesSe bout in America, is eager and willing to meet the Briton in his own yard. Dave Hughes, backer Of Wilde, announced yesterday in Mil waukeee that a proposition has been made to Sharkey and that the Ameri- can had accepted to box Wilde in Eng land next May.
 The Sharkey incident in Milwaukee 1 is one that rankles in Wilde's heart 1 He was supremely confident of beat l ing Sharkey, and the news of his de- feat created so disagreeable a sensa- 1 ton in England that Wilde has beer l downca ever since. He feels that IT order to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of his English admirers he mus 1 peat S1aTkey OH E111S1I SOl1 ealNd IAAS match is the result of that determina-
 ton.
 The champion possibly may regre
 the second match more than the fins
 one /. Sharkey is exastly the type o. fighter to puzzle the Briton. Sharke3 is one of the ruggedest banta1ns 1T America, aggressive to the last degret and hits with great frequency ant force. He~ is not a clever boxer, bu
 he knows how to take care of hlmseI under any and all circumstances, ant he is strong enough to stand up unde
 all the punching of which Wilde i
 capable.
 The London bout between thes' boys will attract the attention of box
 ing enthusiasts in both England ant

WILLIE JACKSON
 CANCELS BATTLE
 AGAINST vALCER

New York, Jan. 24.---The injury to his left hand which he sustained in his recent bout against Mel Coogan Of Philad deIphia has compelled Willie Jackson, Bronx lightweight, to cancel several bouts for which he had con tracted. Included in the list: or matches which Jackson will have to forego is the bout against Benny Val ger, French boxer, which was to have been held at the Newark Sportsmen g club Feb. 2. Frank Bagley, manager of Jackson, yesterday notified the Newark promoters that his boxer would be unable to go through with the contract because of his injured hand.
 The cancellation, however, will not interfere materially with the plans of the Newark promoters. Three other eight-round matches have been ar ranged for Feb. ?, and negotiations are
 now progr ressing for the services of a featherweight or lightweight who will take Jackson's place against Valger Eddie F-itzsimmins of Yorkville, whose heavy hitting powers have given him an enviable reputation among the hghtweights, and Jimmy Duffy, a sturdy west side boxer, are scheduled to appear in one of the eight-round bouts. Another will bring together lGene Tunney of Greenwich Village ! and Al Roberts Of Staten Island.

Hartford Signs Up
 Two Young Players

Hartford, Jan. 24-Two new play CTS, Norman Reeves, an ouGielder, and Harry W. Maddox, an infielder, were signed yesterday by Manager Dan Howley of the local baseball club. Reeves comes from Rochester, having played with that club in 1918 and at the start of the 1919 season, and Maddox is a eni-professional player, starring with the Farmers. a fast seSnI-pro team in Brooklyn, N. Y, last year.
 In 1918, Reeves hit the ball for an average of .29f while Maddox, who is @ young player just breaking in, belt ed the apple for an average of .356. ! The latter player comes highly re- commended as a ball player capable ~of performing at any position in the 1 infeld, but tis likely that he will be i given his tryout at third base or in l short field. Rochester let Reeves go at the start of the 1919 season /! after he had played in less than if teen games.

(By ED. HUGHESa

After Young Corbett had broken the charm which surrounded the fighting name of Terry McGovern by knocking out the Brooklyn Terror in two rounds at Hartford nineteen years ago, McGovern.s one ambition was to reverse the verdict. Three times they were matched and Terry trained as only fighter can who ia dominated by the impulse Of sweet revenge. Three times the match fell trough and McGovern returned lone bitterly chagr1ned. Finally they again faced each other in the ring at Frisco, a year and half after the Hartford meeting.
 Corbett didn't win this time entire ly on his fighting qualities. But he won Just the same. Corbett under. stood Terrible Terry's excitable na- ture and he made full use of the knowledge. As soon aS the fight be- with taunts. He revived the first Me Govern defeat and asked Terry why he didn't ''quit'' again. He called the Brooklyn Boy foul names. But Terry had promised his friends he would pay no attention to Corbett's re- marks. He was making good'' his promise and appeared to be wearing his conqueror down when Corbett played his "ace.'' It was a low trick and undeserving of the fortunate turn it commanded for the Den verite.
 Corbett made an offensive remark about McGovern's wife. Terry | couldn't stand that. He forgot all 1 about his promise to ignore Corbett's | jibes, became excited, fought wildly, ! round.
 After the fight Terry was broken hearted. He had failed to avenge the l insult and all hope of ever regaining | his lost championship had departed | Unaccompanied he went back to his l training quarters. The next day the 1 camp was deserted even Terry's i trainers not having yet returned. The sad and lonely McGoveru walked out l into the woods and sat down on g 1 rock to brood over his misfortunes.
 Presently a little boy who had l hung around McGoTern'S quarters | while Terrible Terry was preparing 1 for the battle appeared with letter He handed it to the little fighter and I through yelling tears poor Terry rec ognized his wife's familiar handwrit- ing. The mail had been delayed. McGovern should have received 1t or
 the morning of the fight. You read 1t for me. I can't said Terry land ing the letter to the boy. The young ster opened it.
 Dearest Terry 1t began. s'These are kisses from the baby. We are all
 sending our love and are thinking
 Of you and praying that you will win.
 It means so much to us Terry, dear.
 The boys are telling us that Corbett
 will try to make you lose your head.
 But Terry just remember that you
 are fighting for the baby and me.
 Don't think of what he says until the
 fight is over and you have won. When
 he starts to talk just think of me and
 don't lose your head and -
 That was too much for Terry. He
 rolled off the stone and lying in the
 grass cried like an infant Why couldn't that letter have come one
 day sooner?

YALE ALUMNI
 PAPER PRAISES JONES' RETURN

New Haven, Jan. 24.-In it's issue yesterday the Yale Alumni Weekly in behalf of the graduates expresses sat isfaction that Tad Jones is to return as head coach of the Yale football team next fall.
 It states that his return comes as a result of strong graduate and un- dergra duate demand. It also calls attention to the fact Tad Jones works best in full charge of a, situation and that he will have this authority next fall.
 In this connection 1t is stated that Jones would return only on condition that he, have full charge, and those in close touch remember that ideas of others infused into the squad lost the Brown game in 1916. After that de- feat Jones put the team back to his offense and beat both Princeton and Harvard.
 The editorial follows:
 There will be widespread satisfac- ton over the appointment of Tad Jones as football coach for next fall. The new head coach, who made a name for himself in 1916 by bringing through to a fine finish a team that was a problem up to the final gam es has the essential qualifications for athletic leadership. He works best however, in full charge of a. situation and with an organization under him This he will have next fall.
 That Jones will return to Yale | to coach without salary from the | athletic association is likewise an ex- l cellent thing. While expenses vii | be paid-and these are not pre-wal ] times in such matters-Yale football /, will next fall have no charges on its | books, for the first time in quite 2 while, for a head coach's salary. Fol this the association is considerably indebted to the Yale men in contro of the Ames Shpbuilding and Dry Dock Company of Seattle, by whom Jones is employed. He comes to New Haven in September on a leave of ah sence with full salary paid.
 ''The arrangement is therefore really a loan to Yale football by Yale
 men of a coach for whom there ha4 | been strong graduate and especial!
 undergraduate demand. It was ;
 handsome thing to do. and we trus
 that as satisfactory results will be thu
 return on the investment"

CaddOCk Claims He
 Will Beat SteCher
Wrestling Champion Makes Favorable Impression Ae He Is Introduced at Dinner in New York-Saw Active
 Military Service in France.

New York, Jan. 24-Earl Caddoclz, called the wrestler of "a thousand holds," made his first formal bow in this city yesterday, not on the mat but at a luncheon given by Jack Cur ley at the Claridge Hotel.
 He hardly needed an introduction to those who gathered at the lunch con. He has never wrestled in this city, but his fame has travelled around the world because of the fact that in many places he is recognized as the heavyweight champion. His announced retirement, while serving with the American Army in France, was reconsidered after his return to this country with the war over, but that announcement opened the way to Joe Stecher claiming the title; and of course he had many followers. Now, however, the day approaches for this question to be settled once and for all. Caddock arrived here on Thursday to wind up his training at Great Neck, L. l., for the bout with Joe Stecher at Madison Square Garden next Friday night.
 This bout, for an advertised purse 1 of $40,000, gives promise of being one 1 of the best and certainly the most | important ever held in this city, The l winner will earn the heavyweight
 title beyond dispute, and the crowd is sure to jam the Garden as never 1 before.
 i Some idea of it's place among wrestling bouts of the past may be ! gained from the fact that Morri | Rose offered Jack Curley $30oOO yes
 terday for exclusive rights to tn. moving pictures This offer is nov
 under consideration.
 Caddock made a favorable impres 1 sion on those who attended the lu1r
 cheon. He is a fine appearing fel
 low and has plenty to say for him
 self but little of himself. He wa
 confident without being boastful con
 cerning his chances against Stecher
 and said that he was in fine condi
 tion and would be absolutely on edg
 by next Friday night.
