It la entirely too prematura to make any predictions regarding the outcome of that engage ment, but Cornell Is hopeful of marking the resumption of friendly relations with Harvard by a triumph.

KILBA3TE AXD WILLIAMS STR0KQT gsiSiss is NEW YORK. Feb. .-AUhoiigh that assassin Of Oood Old Pope, Nineteen Fourteen, bowled over but two ring Champions last year ("Johnny Coition and "Willie' Ritchie), the opening of IMS finds a number of crowns alroudy Jig gling around In a most unstable fashion on tha heads of their wearers. One little punch may dislodge tha halos of the fol lowing title holders: ; Jack Johnson, world's heavyweight champion. "Al" McCoy, alleged middleweight champion, , "Freddie" Welsh, world'g lightweight champion. ' Mora firmly attached to their owners' brows are the laurela of "Johnny" Kll bane, featherweight title holder, and "Kid" Williams, the bantamweight fighter alnca 'Terry" McOovern waa In hla 'prime. Tha milling will be hard and fast In all boxing divisions, owing to the un usually keen competition. Here la a sur vey of the outlook. In the respective classifications of the game: Joknaoa) tirowlaia; Old. Jack Johnson, champion. Is 37 t ears old and growing more so. ' He will begin his tribulations by righting giant Jess Wil lard next March at Juaree, where the bout will presumably- be permitted to go to a finish. Thera is -very tittle confidence expredsed In WtUard'a ability ta even outlast John son, owing to his lack of experience and a real fighting disposition. Johnson's teal danger will come from the black fighters, "Sam" McVcy and "Sam" Lang ford. The two "flams" are still doing. Well, are much younger than Johnson and. In tha - minds of . most critics, woull prohnbly outlast the cham pion. It Is considered a oertalnty that If Johnson fights all four of these men during the coming year, aa he t? arrang ing to do, he will lose Ma title. Xo cham pion of thlx generation has retained the title after S7 years of age. The only man ever to approximate this waa "Bob" Fltsslmmors. The present middleweight title holder1, "Al" McCoy No. 1, la Just a Joke. An accidental poke In tha flrat round of a bout with George Chip . at New York stopped Chip, then credited a champion ship aura, owing to two knockouts of Frank Klaus. McCoy has dona nothing since to support hla tlUa claim and he'll he boaton by three or four middle- weights, t,p .ncluded. If h. meet. them. I r,:'i:,05 M V'f - .J A The real candidate left In the hunt ' ivtii vmiuiuaiiw ivifc III luv num. are "Jimmy" Clnbby and "Mike" Gib bons, with "Eddie" MoOoorty and '"Jeff ISmlth lurking In the background. Oabby has worktd hi way up through a num ber of Impounder aspirants, upsetting the strongest of the flit, George Chip and "Ed.lle" McUoorty. Ait Australian ver dict won by "Jeff" Smith over Clabby seems to have been out of line, according to the other performances of this pair; but Bmlth must be reckoned with be- j cause of It. . It apreaia that "Freddie" Welsh will have to be a wixard to retain his title i .ivit.cr 11 ns uiceia 4i tpponenis over a distance of grouni. . "Charley" White. "Joe" Shugrue, "Willie" Rltohle, Gilbert Gallant and "Johnny" Dundee are the boxers who seem to menace the champion most. ' Welau la slowiug lth age. and some "comtr should take hla measure If he comes, out In the open. i Ktlbaae stilt K!a. "Johnny" KUbane seems to have the featherweight class all to himself. Of j the upcoming crop George Chattey, Kayo i Mais, "Benny" MoOovern. "Cal" De- tsricy and other, nuns seems to rank with the Cleveland wonder. Thera I a 1 moat no chance of hla defot In a title t.

Its rank as' a pastime has been without question for ever so long, but aa a financial undertaking Its breadth was practically unknown until the games for tha Davis cup at the courts of the West Side Tennis club last August. Now tbe official statement has been Issued, and with It Is established a record which will take aome beating, but which meeting Is aura to come, for (wlth avery year the grand court game Is sura to Improve from very standpoint. All told. t84.S7S.30 was taken in to the Davis cup matches and tha matches pre liminary to tha big events which took place on tha Ideal courts of tha Wast Bids club. New York was surely the "big time" place. It proved It N when Ij7,3S7.46 waa taken In In those three daya of play, which saw tha Australians carry off 1 the big prise. Boston, In tha final round of the preliminaries, In which tha boys from tha Antipodes defeated the British, contributed but $13,390. Finals Attract B la- Crew. . New York's superior receipts are In a measure due to the fact that It was tha finals which attracted tha huge crowds which saw those matches, but as much as anything else, Jt was the excellent management of tbosa games which brought success in such measures. .. To Julian 8. Myrlck as Kuch as anybody also is duo tho credit. His able man agement of the series made It posslblo for the ' Australians to take home with them t23.74S.40 for tha association of their country as Its share nf tha gate re ceipts. Which figure are much In ax cesa of tho Americans' share, which was 117,811.29, and which was divided equally between the clubs In Chicago, Pittsburgh anod Bos ten, whereon the preliminary rounds were held, and New York, where the cup marches were decided. And for his untiring efforts the West Side Tennis club has honored him with the unanimous nomination for the presi dency of the organisation. There Isn't a tennis enthusiast In this country who wilt but say that Forest Hills club made a hit when It put Myrlck at tha head of Its ticket. It means a broader policy for the game. Myrlck has always claimed that New York City la the real center of tennis In this country and he proved It In the conduct of the Davis cup contests. Myrlck represents the -progressive ele ment In tennis, and he Is outspoken, re gardless of whom he hurts, in declaring that New York and not, Newport 1 the place for tha national, championships. One thing Is sure; he Is going to make a fight for the big games at the West Side courts this year.

Drawn for The Bee by Swinnerton LEFT - HAHDERS MYSTERIES Greatest Base Ball Puzzle it Why Sinister-Armed Twirlen Often Hake Best Batters. , RICHMOND FATHER . OF TRIBE . NEW TORK. Feb. . On of the Inex plicable mysteries of base ball Is how and why so many left-handed pitchers become famous as, great batsmen after their day of usefulness as hurlors are over. And. on tha other hand, base ball history gives the names of very few right-hander that became noted aa wil low wlelders and held Jobs as such after their daya of effectiveness as boxmen were over. . . . The very first left-handed pitcher the game ever had, and the father of alt tho tribe, De Lee Richmond, was a famous swataman, and was used In the outfield by several teams because of hts ability to hit tha ball and hit It hard. "Mike" Tiernan, the great hitter of tha New York Oianta back In the '80s and S0s. waa signed by the New York management be cause of hi wonderful hurling for tha Jersey City club, then a member of the bid Eastern league. Tiernan didn't- do much pitching for tha Giants, for his pitching arm went wrong; early In the season of 1888, but his batting eye made It possible for Mlka to hold his Job. In a short time ha was a fixture on the team, and for many years afterward was) con sidered one of tho best batsmen In ho country. Better Patter Than Pitcher. "Cap" Anson of tha Chicago Nationals brought George Van Haltren aU the way from California, believing he Jiad in him the greatest left-hander the game over bad. George lasted about three seasons In the pltchr's position, batting much bet ter than he pitohed during tha time. He came to tha front as a finished batsman while a member of thaiNew York Giants; In fact, he waa their star hitter for many years. Van lasted nearly a score of years In tha game after he lost hi piwming aDiuty. .On : of the game's moat famous batsman pushed Into the game by the pitching route was Jess Bur kett, tha mail who led the National league for three seasons. Ha received his first Job with tha Netr York Giant through his ability to pitch, having stacked up wonderful pitching for Wor cester, then in tha old Atlantic league In 18S9.- Burkett was a, strlotly left-handed person, so much so that ha had heaped upon mm the appellation of the "Human i vrao. However, Burkett failed aa a pitcher, but he could awat the ball In a manner mot delightful. In three sea sons of his career Burkett batted .400 and over. . v .' '. . j . -' . Greatest In His Llae. Elmer Smith of Cincinnati wss consid ered one of the greatest left-handers In the tune from 1S87 until 1S93, and h waa a wonderful hurler. In 1898 Elmer quit the pitching game and took up swatting the ball as means of livelihood. It was the best move he ever made during his base ball career, for by hts effective hit ting be held good Job for many year on some of the big team, notably Pitts burgh and Cincinnati. .
