Russell also twirled splendid ball for the. New Yorkers. In the third inning he re- tired the side on strikes. In the fourth Berklev's drive was too hot for Mel- lon.

The visitors were helpless before the pitching of Chaplin, a sophomore, who made his first appearance as a 'Var- | sity twirler. He held Colgate to six | hits and kept these well scattered. Douglas carried off the batting honors by driving in five of Princeton’s runs. In the first inning, with two men on bases, the Tiger first baseman tripled. In the fifth his .double sent three more runners across the plate. Capt. Greene also figured largely in Prince- ton'sc hitting. Colgate scored the lone run in the third inning, Chaplin passed Dwyer, who went to second on Stewart’s sacrifice and scored on Ed- gerton’s single.

York, April Jim Roscommon giant, defeated at the night, most sensa- heavyweight New the 8. Coffey, St. Nicholas Athletic club, last in one of the fastest and tional bouts between seen in this city since the days when Fitzsimmons, Jeffries, Ruhlin and Sharkey fought at Coney Island. Coffey outboxed Morris in every round except the third and possibly the sixth, and in the last two sessions had the big Oklahoma man so tired that a single well directed punch would have settled the bout then and there. With Carl staggering about the ring, blood coming in streams from gashes on his right eye, nose and lips, Coffey was so wildly excited at the sight of a knockout, apparently ineu itable, that his terrific swfings went wild, and Morris, one of the gamest men in the ring, weathffered the storm. In the final round Cofey was almost as weary as Morris, and the two giants wrestled and reeled about the ring with neither being able to set himself or a crushing blow. The largest crowd that ever squeezed its way into the St. Nichols rink was on hand when the main bout went on. Men and boys hung from every rafter and outside, on Sixty sixth street, a shoving, pushing crowd stormed the doors, giving the police reserves all they could do in the way of preventing the entrance from being inundated. “Loidies” Were There, Several women entered just before the star bout of the evening, and their appearance was the signal for wild bursts of applause from the crowd. One of the feminine devotees of the boxing game held her fur boa about the lower part of her face, a la harem, seemingly in the belief that she would escape recognition. There was a fifteen-minute wait after the men entered the ring, as it was folund that the gloves provided were too small to fit the giants’ hands. e — Carl Jimmy Johnson, the matchmaker of the club, finally dug up.another pai fand Jim and Carl stepped to the cen- ter of the ring, while Billy Roach, the referee, gave them instructions Cofey's weight was anrounced 0 pounds and Morris came in 228. The Irish boy looked lean grevhound, hile Morris showed a of fat about the waist, but was notwithstanding. [ | rit | BOWLING | HERALD L Zeppelins, 89 7 GUE.
