TITLE HOPES RISKED
IN ELI, TIGER TUSSLE
Basket Ball League Outcome at
Stake in Contest Tonight.
Lions Beat Penn.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 14.-The
~ champion Princeton Tigers return
to Eastern Intercollegiate League
competition after three weeks lay-of
tonight, battling the Yale Bulldogs at
New Haven in a game that may well
spoil the title hopes of one or the other.
Yale, after its opening game defeat
by Dartmouth, has chalked up five sue
cessive victories to gain clear title to
the league lead. Princeton, one of the
most powerful scoring arrays in the
East, also dropped its first league start
to Penn, but came back to whip Dart
mouth by is points and Columbia by 90
Princeton probably will go into the
game slight favorite, although the ex-
perts have been making Yale the under
dog so often this season, only to see the
Ellis win, that they're risking few ex-
treme predictions on the outcome of
tonights game. Princeton probably will
start with Fairman and Seibert at for
ward, Larsen at center and Fortune and
GrebauskaS' at guard; Yale with Saner
and Nikkel at forward, O'Connell at
center, and Miles and Reese at guard.
Columbia whipped Penn, 29-19, here
yesterday for its third victory in five
league starts and moved into third place.
Penn, with an even split in six games,
stands fourth. Columbia, thanks to
some accurate sharpshooting by Regis
Asselin, sophomore forward, led virtually
all the way. Asselin Tailed IL points to
lead both teams In scoring.

wrcng with the playing of the
White Sox in the first game of
that 1919 world series when
the Cincinnati Reds won, to /, Comls-
key and Gleason were more watchful
and alert the next day, when the
second game was played. The Reds
won the second game also, to 2, but
of one tried to detect something wrong
by study of the box score, he would
have decided the Sox team lost because
it had no luck.
For instance, the Sox made 10 hits
in that game while the Reds made only
4, but the Reds got four runs and
the Sox only two. Cincinnati made
two errors and the Sox only one. How
ever, six of the Cincinnati men walked
while only one Sox player drew pass to
first.
1t was Lefty williams on the slab for
the Sox, opposed by the veteran left
handler, Slim Sallee williams was a
remarkable left-hander, with wonder

hook curve over the pan with ease. He
often did it with the call of three and
two. He had been big winner for them

pitching 297 innings and coming out
with an earned run average of 2.64
per nine innings. In the whole season
he walked only So batters.
But something was wrong this day.
He walked six men.
Break in Fourth Again.
A S on the previous day. it was the
n fourth inning when the break
came. Up to that time. nobody
had scored. Rath led off in the fourth
for the Reds with a walk. A sacrifice

walked. In this pinch, Roush singled.

Kopf tripled, driving in two more runs.
In that one inning occurred three OF
the Reds six bases on balls, three OF
their four runs and two of their four
hits, one a triple with two men on and
two out, and that was the ball game.
williams was credited with pitching
pretty good ball game when he al
lowed only four hits, but with two of
them punched with three walks in one
inning, it wasn't so good.
Here is one incident of that game,
unpublished at the time, but of great
Importance when told to the grand jury

later:
Sammy Pass, Sox rooter and pal of
the players, told 1t. 'I saw Williams

gamblers had taken from me the day

Back to Honus Wagner.

"Do YOU still name Honus Wagner
- as the greatest of all ball play
ers?" McGraw was asked.
GAS I said before" he answered, II
like to rank ball players in their own
positions. But I'll make an exception
of Wagner. He was a great infielder
and great outielder. He was a great
hitter and a great base runner. He
could play any position. Why, Wagner
used to steal IS bases year.
81 would rank him for team value
above Cobb or Ruth, because an in
fielder has SO much more to do than
an outflelder. He has so many more
chances to face. I've seen Wagner
in game after game for 20 years cut
off two or three runs in an afternoon
by making plays at short no other ball
player could have handled.
He would not only make seemingly
impossible plays, but with that quick
starting lope of his and those tremend-
GUS hands he would often make SEEM
1ngly impossible plays look easy
Wagner was great hitter and
brilliant base runner. He moved far
faster than his bow legs seemed to
carry him along. But beyond his abil-
ity as a run maker, he saved more runs
than any ball player that ever lived.
OOnt forget that TWO runs saved Tor
your side are just as valuable as two
runs driven in.
II can see that old boy now go and
get them" McGraw continued in a
reminiscent mood
When they were hit his way, I knew
the Giant rally was all over. He had
the greatest pair of hands base ball has
ever seen and he had an uncanny
knack of being in the right place On
one infield rap I've seen him kill a base
hit back of the third baSeman and on
the next play kill another hit back of
second. He had a scuttling motion,
which carried him in hurry over lot
of ground"
