McTigue, world light heavyweight
boxing champion, has been ordered
by the New York boxing commission
to live up to his three-year contract

cent bout in Georgia with young
Stribling.
McTigue sought 10 evade what the
commission ruled was legitimate

not paid him in full for the Stribling
bout, to which Jacobs answered with
an accounting. Jacobs complained
that McTigue published a statement
that he had inveigled the boxer into
signing blank paper which he aft
erward converted into Il contract.
If McTigue does not care to con-
tinue under Jacobs management he
was advised by the commission to so
to court, but both men were told such
n course would not be pleasing to

TIGERS Determined
TO DEFEAT OLD Ellis

PRINCETON, n. j., November a..
A new spirit is rife at Princeton.
Last week overconfidence existed
among the undergraduates, with the
result that Coach Roper said on the
eve Of the Harvard game that he was
confronted by the most difficult problem
of his coaching career. This week
Princetonians realize that their eleven
is much below standard. but they still
will not accept defeat at the hands OF
Yale next Saturday in advance.
In the words of the Daily Prince
tonian. in an editorial:
Mediocre Yale teams have debated
great Princeton teams in the past
through sheer determination to win.
There is no reason why Princeton cam
not adopt similar tactics this year. This
campus has been able to rouse itself to
, such fury in times past that by the mere
will to win it has overcome tremendous
handicaps.
THE score Of an Army game. or of
Notre Dame game, or of a Harvard
game means nothing when Princeton
faces Yale. This annual clash Is not a
! mere physical contest; 1t is the struggle
of two rival wills, of two invincible
| spirits. Are we to admit this year that
the spirit Of Yale is superior to that of
| old Nassau?
"All that Is essential for victory is to
take n leaf from Harvard's book. If
we can arouse the greatest desire for
victory Princeton has ever seen we will
win Saturday; If we cannot we will not.
Has Princeton the will to win?''

When McGraw first took over the

players which included Wiltse. Ma

and Ames-were traded or dropped
by the little Napoleon, while he set
about building the Giant combination
which came to the front with Ma
'ional League titles in 1911. 1912 and
t?13. On the roster during those three
years were Mathewson, Wiltse, Ames,
Narquard. Tesreau. Cra0dall, Dema-
zee, Meyers, Wilson, Mclean. Merkle,
boyle, Herzog, Fletcher Devore, Suod-
grass, Becker, Shafer. Burns and Muir

fer the fate Of their predecessors.
OF their number only Herzog. Fletcher
and Burns remained as members of
the 1917 Giant team that broke clear
TO another National League title.
In addition TO Herzog, Fletcher and
Burns, that 1917 combination in
cluded Sallee, BENTON, Schupp, Per-
ritt, McCarty, Rariden. Holke, Zim-
norman. Kauff, Robertson. Thorpe
and wilhoit. And when they in turn
failed TO acquire titles in 1918 and
1919 their doughty manager scat
tered them to the four winds.
On this occasion McGraw did a
more complete job than ever before.
for George Burns was the single
member of the 1917 team with the
Giants when they climbed TO the Ma
tional League top in 1921, and Burns
was traded ere the Giants captured
their 1922 and 1923 titles.
How extensive will be this years
remodeling is unknown. McGraw has
been quoted as saying he is prepared
TO trade all his 1923 players except
Frankie Frisch, Ross Young and
Travis Jackson. but whether the
trades offered by other clubs will
provo acceptable remains a question.
McGraw's present effort in this
direction Is unique in that il marks
the first time in base ball history that
a manager has sought to break up a
title-winning combination of one year
in an effort to build Il title-winning
combination for the next season.
The present deal with the Braves,
incidentally, emphasizes the peculiar
tate OF world-series heroes. for Casey

Of course there have been de-
bates as to who really pitched
the first curve. Cummings was
the substitute pitcher on the
Stars Of Brooklyn: he was tall,
e-jointed, and flexible in the
arm. That is possibly in part
why the clam shells curved so,
aside from their shape. Cum
Inings argued rightly that he
could make a ball curve in the
same manner so, when he began
to pitch for the Stars, he began
to study how to get around the
pitching rule then in vogue that
there should be no throw or
jerk" So he began whipping
his wrist in such manner that
the ball started to spin as it
