So far as the cast is concerned
Princeton and Darthmouth nves are
playing a brand of basketball that
absolutely takes the game out of the
hit or miss category and makes it as
oxatt and scientific as football or
any other sport.

the ball is workt-Ii under the op-

spectators it has added to the plea.-

There is nothing uncertain about
any move that the Princeton and

NEW YORK. February 26.
(Special to The Sentinel) —-
Another lightweight elimination
contest was staged last night at the
new Manhattan Casino in Harlem.
but it. precipitated a young riot in
the ninth round when referee Billy
Crowley appeared to lose his head in
this session and awarded the bout to
Charlie O'Connell of Cleveland. aft-
ter the latter had put Joe Dundee of‘
Baltimore down for the count of
five. Crowley claimed that Dundee
had gone down without being hit.
As a. matter of fact O'Connell
Slipped him a wicked smash with
his right hand squarely on the
button. It was enough to put Joe on
the floor but he was far from being
out. —He staggered to his feet. Crow-
ley rushed him to his corner and told
him the fight was over.
Then the fun began. The fans
stormed the ring and the young
men and not a few young ladies in
the gallery started to throw down
hats and newspapers and one or two
other things that were heavier. There
was a long and stormy delay during
which Commissioner Phaien and De-
puty Commissioner Book represent-
ing the New York State Athletic
committee held a ringside confer-
ence and decided to reverse the de-
cision of the referee. They ordered
that the bout be continued. The boys
went through the tenth round 'and
0Connell was given the decision

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.—The great

Players of both the Chicago Cubs
and the Pittsburgh Pirates gathered
here for the pubh-off today on the
journey which converts them from
gentlemen of leisure to working men.
The Cubs and Pirates are taking
the southern route to the Coast.
Both clubs will train closer to the
Pacific's waves than the Cardinals.
The Cubs. in fact. have to embark
on the briny deep in order to get
to their training quarters on Cata-
lina Island. This cruise. according
to Bill Klilefer. their manager. is the
,final tonic needed to fit them for
iwork.
“They'll come to me meek and
humble if the passage happens to
,-bo rough." said Killefer with a grin.
"A ball player after an attack of
sea-sickness is as docile as a pup
with the mumps."
The rival claims of California and
Florida. as training centers are still
being loudly debated by their rival
managers—not to mention the na—
tives of the two sections. Managers
who have been to California are al-
most as enthusiastic in its praise as
are the Golden Slate's native sons.
“'alter hlnranvillo has gone on

are as sollclious about him as any
player on the team because they
fancy that if he performs well the
chances of the Cuba to wrest the

KING OF THE
TENEWORLD;
NElY YORK. Feb. 26.—“‘illiam ’I‘.,
Tildcn. king of nearly all he has sur-l
chcd in the tennis world over the:
Jack I
Dempsey—a position where variodi
outsxde interests may affect his 1925;
campaign. Although victorious in his
fight to remove any question of pro-
fessionalism from player-Writing.
Tilden still faces some kinks in his:
status as a result of newspaper work. i
in addition to which he is devoting!
more time than bcfore to motion pic'sl
turns and the drama.
All things considered, however.
Tilden is expected not only to at-
tempt to carry off the American
tennis crown for the sixth straight
year but again form a main line in
the DaVis Cup Defense. In the thick
of another fray. the tall Philadel-
phian will be a favorite to emerge
against the top. in spite of such ob-
stacles in his path as the veteran
first ring appearance since meeting
with Jack Shawkey, when he injur-
ed both of his hands. If De Mavc
pulls through tomorrow's fight with-
out injuring his hands, his manager.
Tom Fahy, will rematch him with
Shawkey. '
The preliminarys both of six
rounds duration will being together
Jerry Sherman of Greenwich and
Arthur Smith of New York. These
two bore are beth colored and a fast
fight is expected. The curtain raiser
will trot out Ital French. the soldier
slugger of Fort 810ch and Pete De
Angie-of New York.
