W tho syndicate, which Is financing the
world's ring battle, originally scheduled
for Juarez, March 6, Is not easily out

dispatched for Havana by tho speediest
train and steamship. "Bring Johnson

Hire a special boat Land him at tho
Mexican port where you know protection
awaits him."
This was the final admonition Riven Curley

The Intercollegiate basketball race Is
m. thriller. Princeton and Tale aro tied

It Can't Be Done
Federal League magnates have drawn
a. contract which, it Is said, will be far
more binding on the players than the
form Issued at flr8t,"iwhen "Inducements"
were necessary to win the balltossers
from organlred ranks. At the same time,
U Is said, the contract will be entirely
agreeable to the players. It can't be

PRINCETON TRACK
PROSPECTS BRIGHT
Nassau Has Number of Good
Men in Events New Coach
ing Exceeds Expectations.'
Princeton bcllovcs her track prospects
aro brighter than In several years. In
tho sprints the team Is especially strong.

100-yard daBh, together with Fleming.
Shanley and others who have been
working regularly. For tho 220. Madden,
Snowden, a 23-sccond man, and possibly
Moore or Richardson, are tho candidates,
whllo Itlchardson, Mooro and Dannen
haucr will prove strongest In the quar
ter mile.
In tho distance runs. Hacs, " minutes 2 2-5
seconds, and Captain Mackenzlo can bo de
pended on to scoro In tho lialf-mtle, and Mac
ken: lo in tho mile, which he lias donu In
4 21 1-5, whllo Morrison Is regarded as certain
to count In tho two-mile Beside these, Cooley,
Atha, and Doty havo been doing well. Among
tho hurdlers there Is good material Stewart,
Church. Decker, Tredorlcks, Crawford and
Watt have been showing up well, especially
Stewart, who is one of tho best hurdlers In the

care of by Nourso, Larscn, Longstreth, Gen
nert, Heynlger and Morris. Tho outdoor work
of tho candidates last fall waa pronounced by
tho coaches to have been tho most successful

a graduate or university track man took
charge of the candidates in each eve.' t, far
exceeded expectatlona In the beneficial results
which were accomplished.

Nelson, former lightweight champion, to
Freddy Sears, ot this city, states that
boxing will nourish In the capital of
Cuba.
Robinson Is secretary to "Dick" Klegln,
who has planned boxing shows at two of
the biggest theatres In the heart of
Havana. The promoter also expects to
erect the greatest stadium In the world
for boxing. Klegln lr originally from
Terre Haute, Ind., and Scare saVB It
waB he who Introduced boxing in Europe
nine years ago.
Klegln then went to Australia, nhere he
waa Interested in the tittle game, before
returning to America with Dae btnlth, the
A ml pod o middleweight champion After a
short stay hero Klegln returned to Europe,
and lust after the war started ht signed up
Jack Johnson for a light with Sam llcVey
In Havana, then left for tho West Indies to
complete preparations for the match.
In Hoblnaon's letter to Sears, the latter Is
appointed Klegln's '1'hlladelphta representative.
Fred has tlnlsbed negotiations 'for a match
In Havana for Charley Thomas, the local
lightweight, to be staged vrobably the latter
part of March.
Iloblnson'a letter follows
Dear Freddie Tho boxing game here Is
bound to boom. We have two promoters
Just now. They are iiradt and Klegln. The
former has a stadium about two miles from
the centre of the city, while Klegln has
long-term leatex on two theatres In tho heart
of the town. One, for popular priced shows,
holds 5300 people The other, for big shows,
holds 3500. Ileslde, Klegln has a four-year
lease on a plot of ground dead In tha heart
of tho city, facing the 1'Iaza, ot public square,
around which all thea Latln-Amcrlcan cities
are built It Is two city blocks square, and
he Is about to start the erection ot a stadium
which will be the greatest on the continent.
His site compares with llroad and Chestnut
Jtreets In Philadelphia,
"Klegln will not stage a fight In his out
door arena Until May, using Ws two theatres
In tho heart of the town. You, know a
theatre holding 3500 people, at prices from
II to J5. which are standard here, will result
In a house big enough to satisfy any boxer

The Yale team is just finding Itself and

MoNlchol, of Pennsylvania, still shows
the way In the Individual scoring, and
Brown, of Cornell, Is second, but dropped
back a trifle last week. Benson, of Colum

GOLFERS' AFTERMATH
Reid Brings Dozen Cases of Clubs
From Other Side.
When Wilfrid Reld, wbo has been engaged
by the Eeavlew Oolf Club, arrived from Eng
land the otbee day he brought with him a
do jen cases of golf clubs. Presumably he did
not do It for fun. Yet it lead to tb thought
that ere long w shall hear golfers discussing
among themselves again the merits of this
manufacture, that make, tha other style, and
It merely meana ono inoro brand to talk aoout.
It may be aald, however, that Reld is on
of the most popular professionals wbo have
come her from th other side In recent
j ears.
The variety of report going around these
day about llrttlsb professionals and the possi
bility of their coming to America In Jun for
the open championship suggests to tlw
Imaginative mind tha katydids, with their
nelsy repart. As a matter of fact, no one
actually knows whether there will be many
Britisher her or not
First came rumor of Harry Vardon coming
ovsr to teach Indoor golf, but It was super
seded by word of bis coining for tb champion
ship. Last week this was denied by Ales II
Medley, who arranged Vardon's tour with
Ray two aeaeons ago. George Duncan may
com over, but ther has been nothing definite.
Of course, the professional do not ala
find such men of spending proclivities as Lord
NorthJIff. who paid tb way for Vardon and
Ray Thsy are likely to b scarcer these
days, and In this way It becomes necessary
for tbe proftaslenale themselves to foot the
kills.

HOME-RUN BAKER TRAINS
AT HOME; MAY "COME BACK"
Odds On That He Will Be at Third
for Athletics. ,
TRAPPE, Md.. March 1. Home-run Frank
Baker Is keeping In shape by practicing with
the Trappe High School nine "Mr. Maker,"
as his neighbors call him since he won big
league fame and incidentally world's series
dollars, had a clean record at the bat. He
stood at the plate twice as a trembling pitcher
burled tho sphere. Baker hit the ball, where
upon taxpayers wept, for each time he knocked
out a pane of glass In the schoolhouso.
Friends of Baker nay that he Is wavering
nnd that he meets the mall train each morn
ing to scan the sporting pages. They are bel
ting odds he will be back at 21st and Lehigh
avenue when the American League season
opens.
A Dream of Far-OlT Lands
n Far-Off Lands today toners lost paths
run,
A little boy looks up into God's sky
Through apple blossoms, swaying In the
sun,
That drift as spring's first South wtnds
whisper by; s
And as he looks, upon his face there
comes
The light that only fame's great dream
can yield
To him who hears far off the roll of
drums,
The silver bugle caltfnp- to the field.
In Far-Off Lands I see Mm take the path
With outstretched hands that reach
forth for Ms dream,
Unmindful of the night, the tempest's
wrath,
But on by Mil and hollow, vale and
stream,
Through all the bitterness and stress of
years
That may not turn h(m oaofc tior dim
Ms faith;
Unknowing, as he looks through tender
years,
He follows but the pnanfom of a wraith,
I watch him leave the happy fields he
knew,
The waving grasses and the wide, kind
sky;
The harvest song that winds and echoes
through
Lost summer days of sunlight drifting
by;
The paths of faith ana honesty and
truth
To follow through the mire of hate and
greed
And fano-Ied ways that lead so far from
youth
That sent him forth to where Ms dreams
might lead.
From Far-Off Lands that hold their place)
opart
I tee Mm take the gray trail of the
years.
Struggling and stumbling, weary, sick at
heart,
Groping In blindness through the night of
With outstretched hands that reaoh forth
for Ms trean
That lures and leads and beokons, yet
still keeps '
Dim in the darkness, as a light that
streams
Beyond dim vale toners endless dark
ness creeps
Nearer and nearer, from the throng apart,
I see Aim struggling blindly in the fray.
With mighty pity surging through my
heart
That one should be so far fren off the
way;
Eo far Jrom that dim dream youth left
'behind.
With none to ahou the proper road to
fare,
