SUNDAY FOOT BALL ILLEGAL, GOURT RULES BUFFALO. N. Y., March 31.—Sun- day professional foot bail Is pro- hibited by law and contracts made for such games are worthless, ac- eording to a_decision handed down by Justice Alonzo G. Hinkley. The ruling was given in a suit between owners of two foot ball teams. one of whom sued for $675. which he claimed as his share of the proceeds of a Sunday game played last fall. ‘The other contended that as a Sunday me was illegal the contract was invalid and the suit should be dis- missed. His claim was granted. In his decision Justice Hinkley scored the defendant for invoking the mday law. “‘One could not conceive & more unsportsmanlike act,” the de- eision says. “He took the beénefits of the contract. then, after refusing to pay, plays the baby act by invoking the Sunday statute. If he reflects the character of professional foot ball players generally, then another favo- rite spora requires a house cleaning. “Fakers nearly killed wrestling.

A glance at the history of Princeton athletics discloses the fact that, creditable as Easton’s performance was, he never pitched a no hit game against Yale. He did beat the Elis 13 to 0, but allowed two singles. Two Yale men got to first and one got as far as second. The game was played at Princeton, May 16, 1596 Easton, then a sopho- more, yielded two hits, pussed no one, and struck out sixteen opponents. Yale swelled Princeton's score by pulling nine errors, while Trudeau, her pitcher, gave five passes.
