YALE FIVE DEFEATED.
Columbia Adds One More to Long
List of Victories.
For just about ten minutes In the game between
the Tale and Columbia basketball teams in the
Mornlngslde gymnasium last night, the sons of
old Eli looked like five wooden men stuck fast to
the floor. In those ten minutes the Blue and
White five scored twelve points and. tucking the
game away in a safe place, left the floor later
5t!Il unbeaten. The final score was 19 to U. but
that does not begin to tell the story of the game.
In the first half Columbia scored 18 ******
Tale's 6. In the second half the Columbia team
loafed along, putting in substitutes three times,
and scored only 1 point to Tale's 5.
The game, except for those few whirlwind mo
ments in the latter part of the first period, was
decidedly slow. Tale played hard, but the mas
tery lay with the Columbians almost from the
start. The New Haven men began well, and it
looked as if Columbia w*s going to have a hard
time of K. When five minute* *•*»"!** ™
held the lead with a score of 6to L C" * m ™
and Van Vleck were responsible for this lead, for
within a minute each scored a goal from the
centre of the court.
Melitzer began the Columbia rally, and rapid
fire play of the first order netted goals for Colum
bia by "the entire team. Cerusil played the star
game of the evening. He shot three, goals, and
held Cushmaa. who played a fast game, down to
two tallies. Melitier and Kiendl each did well,
but their team work was not quite so fast in the
latter part of the struggle as that shown by ;\ an
Yleck and Cushman. . - .._
The game was clean and entirely different from
Tale-Columbia games in former years in this re

PRINCETON LOSES STAR.
Heyniger, the Brilliant Pitcher, In
eligible This Year.
tßy Telegraph to The Tribune.]
Princeton. N. J-. Feb. 23. Captain Robert
Vaughn, of the Princeton baseball team, Issued a
call for candidate* this morning, and the first prae
tine of the season was held in the cage this after
noon. A large squad of men f#om the three upper
classes reported and had a short drill in fielding
grounders and batting. A preliminary talk to the
men by Captain Vaughn and a few laps around the
cage concluded the practice.. The freshmen will not
be called out until next week, or perhaps later.
"For the present Walter B. Cosgrore. '04, will
coach the squad, although It has not yet been def
initely decided who will be the regular coach. Cos
grove coached the championship '07 team.
Princeton's chances to turn out a winning team
are fairly good. Much will depend upon the show
ing made by the pitchers, as a new staff of twirlers
will have to be developed. W. S. Heyniger, the
mainstay of the team for the last three years, will
not be eligible this year on account of conditions.
His loss Is a severe blow to Princeton. For three
years Heynlger has been without a peer as a col
lege pitcher, and lost only one Important game In
that time. W. Clark, Heyniger's understudy last
year, has been lost by graduation.
L. Cunningham, who pitched on the Wesleyan
team two years ago and shut Princeton oat by a
score of 2 to 0. should prove, a worthy successor
to Heynlger. Steve White, who pitched for the
freshmen last spring; C. F. Wilson, substitute on
the 'varsity last .year, and Howard Drew™, who
did some splendid work two years ago, should also
prove reliable men. •
Five of last year's championship nine are now in
college. Captain Vaughn will probably cover his
old position at shortstop, while W. R. Sides will be
at third base; Eddie Dillon at second base, while
F. T. Dawson. catcher, can be depended on. W.
R. Warwick, right field, is the only other "P" man
on the squad. There are good men to fill the' va
cant positions, and Captain Vaughn should have
little difficulty In organizing a well balanced nine.
.The most promising candidates for the empty bertha
are Pitman. Ballin. Reed and Warner, all substi
tutes last year, and Hughes. Bard, Carlburg and
Lacky. of last year's freshman nine.

and anchorage at the disposal of the visitors.
The prizes for the 23-foot catboat class of tJ>"
peconic Bay Yacht Club were awarded on Satur
day night to the winners of the 190S regatta at a
so-called '"get together" beefsteak dinner Riven by
the club In Relsenweber's beefsteak garret. Both
prizes were gold lined, solid silver loving cups, the
first going to H^yward Mann, winner with the
Edith, and the second to Carrol McLaughlin, won
with tb* Troubadour,
Tiark Yet the final tally of points was close—
to 113. It was the splendid execution of Pell In
passing from his backhand side that gained him
the set. Pell led at 6-i at which Grant let loose
for two games ana. winning against service, led at
6-5 and 40—15. which placed him within a point of
the wt. Then he tried short volleys, which then
and thereafter led to his undoing. At 14-18 Grant
led again at 40-15. only to fall behind Pell, who
ran out three straight games and the set. On the
whole Grant's service and hi. overhead strokes were
erratic. Pell played to his opponent's J™**™"*
and It was his cleverness in so doing that finally
gave him the commanding position when the match
was postponed until this morning at 11 o clock.
Harold H. Hackett. the national champion in

MOTOR BOAT SHOW OVER
Official Figures Place 'Attendance at
Eighty Thousand.
' Fully eighty thousand persons visited the motor
boat show in Madison Square Garden during the
eight days and nights that it ha. been in progress,
according to official return*. This Is a new record
for the show and demonstrate, conclusively the
Increasing interest that la being taken by th« pub
lic in motor craft. The exhibit closed last night,
and. despite the stormy weather, the attendance
wa# fully up to the average.
President John J. Amory of the National Asso
ciation of Engine and Boat Manufacturers, under
the auspices of which the show was held, said that
he and all of the officers had been more than
pleased with the widespread popular interest in the
exhibit. He added:
'The present show has drawn persons from all
parts of the country. One of the marked features
has teen the greater familiarity of the visitors in
th« management of power boats and their knowl
edge of the mechanical features of th» engines.
Inste;ui of novices the majority of the visitors have
shown a keen knowledge of the subject, and this
speaks well for the future of the motor boat Indus
try. Many of the leading exhibitors have already
engaped their space for next year's show. and.
Judging from 'the early demands, it is quite likely
that the entire floor of the Garden will be devoted
exclusively to boat exhibits next season and a spe
cial exhibit of motors may be made in the restau
rant, while additional gallery room will undoubt
edly have to be used to display the many exhibits
of accessories.
— Tre experience of the last eight days has demon
stratrd to a greater degree than many of th» lead-
Ing makers Imagine that the coming season will
be tIM most successful one In the history of motor
boating. The tendency to buy larger and better
boats is marked. Many fine pleasure boats have
bfm designed and orders were given during the
week for many more of the cruising or raised cabin
type. The show has also illustrated more clearly
than In previous years the fact that the American
motor boat Industry Is by no means confined to Its
own country. Thousands of boats, an well as
motor*, are now being hipped to all parts of the
world."
Among the visitors yesterday was the Princess
Lazarovich Hr>bellanovich. a cousin of the Oiar of
Russia. The princess and her husband have been
in New York several day*, and they made several
inquiries in the Garden as to the cost and proper
equipment for a 80-foot motor yacht for use in the
Mediterranean.
Millar Freeman, who has been attending this
show in the interests of the Alaska-Yukon expo
sition, stated that he had received assurances from
jinny of the prominent boat and engine manufact
urers that they would' exhibit in the special motor
boat ihow which will be one of the exposition
features.
Tho volume of actual business done at the snow
far exceeded that of all previous years. In fact,
without exception* every exhibitor said last night
that 11 was the best motor boat show ever held in
thin country, and in scores of cases the orders that
have been taken for future deliveries exceed by
100 per cent th« results of former exhibits.

ADTO RACES IN DOUBT
MORGAN UP IN ARMS.
Says New Rules May Prevent the
Florida Tournament.
W. J. Morgan returned from the West on Mon
day and met the combined committees, of the
manufacturers and the contest board of the Ameri
can Automobile Association, with the result that
some new rule, were suggested, which may be en- :
forced during the Florida races, and which Mr.
Morgan strenuously objected to, considering the
fact that he applied for a formal sanction on Feb
ruary 5. The delay In securing the sanction, and
the Introduction of new rules, which are not yet
completed, has thrown the Florida tournament
more or less In the air for the present. Yesterday
Mr. Morgan was in telegraphic communication 'with
Daytona, and unless certain, things can be over
come there will be no tournament.
According to Mr. Morgan, the new rules provide
for a good many things that the old rules did not.
and will make automobile tournament promoting
more expensive and hazardous on the part of pro
moters and clubs.
One of the new provisions calls for the posting of
prize money in advance. To this Mr. Morgan does
not object, as the cash la In the bank at Daytona,
Fla., but in speaking of this pHase of the question
yesterday he said:
"I think the rule in regard to posting cash prize.
Is a good one. but why • does not the American
Automobile Association force one of It. own clubs
to pay up the prizes defaulted on before making
me the first Illustration of the new rule. It seems
to me that paying 1 up of debts should precede the
new rules, so far as the new rule, are concerned,
so that it could go into court with clean hands.
"It seems to me that I have been made the goat
between the contest committee of the Automobile*
Club of America and the American Automobile
Association. I have carefully retained copies of all
correspondence, and. Inasmuch as I applied for a
sanction for the Florida meet before the new rules
were thought of, I shall certainly expect somebody
to make good the amount of money I have spent m
case the tournament is not given, and I shall spend
a few more dollars to get it."
Another Interesting 1 point came up yesterday hi
the notification by the contest board that the Flor
ida East Coast Automobile Association was not in
good standing wfth the American Automobile As
sociation, as the club, with 156 regular members,
was in arrears in dues to the amount of the mem
bership, and therefore no sanction' could be granted
to It. but would have to be granted. If at all. to
W. .T. Morgan. The committee also altered the
Daytona Beach race entry blank to read Instead
of "under the patronage or* th» Florida East Coast
Automobile Association, to "by" the Florida East
Coast Automobile Association. This was done, ac
cording to Mr. Morgan, before the committee dis
covered that the Florida association was in arrears
In dues, so the entry blank will have to stand as
It was.
Mr. Morgan says he Is not worried over the out
come, but declares that while he ha. .pent
rather lose that on the tournament, he would
rather lose that than to be mulcted for $2,000 or
J3.000 more owing to the new rules and the delay
in the issuing of the sanction, which he contend,
is not fair to him. an when he applied for the sanc
tion th«» old rules were in force.
Another of the new rules provide, that the ref
eree, must be paid at th rate of $10 a day. and travw
elllng expenses In addition. In speaking of this
Mr. Morgan said
"Heretofore referees. In order to get Into me
limelight, have been glad to pa/ their own expenses,
and even pay a bonus to get the Job. I have a
large number of applications at present for the
position of referee, and feel certain that several
of them will give me a box of cigars Ho get the
Job."

NEW FORM Of TRANSIT
Company Maps Out Eight Route*
for Moving Platforms.
The Continuous Transit Securities Company, «g
No. 45 Broadway, through Max B. Sehnddt. tts
president, asked the Public Service Comnusrtc
yesterday to Invite proposals for the construct!©*
of eight moving platform rapid transit rootes.
Three of the proposed routes contemplate cross,
town subway, in 14th street, 23d street and Hi*
street.
One of the routes proposed would be operated la
a subway running from Union Square under Broad..
way to Times Square, thus connecting the Hyj
street and Time. Square stations of the preset;
subway. This moving platform subway would aba
connect at S3d street and Sixth avenue with tit*
McAdoo tunnel, as wen as with the new Penntyi,
vania Railroad terminal.
The other four proposed moving platform xcatet
would traverse on elevated structures the . toes
bridge, over the East River. The bridge routes, as
designed, would begin at or near the Brooklyn
plazas of the WlHiamsburg. Manhattan and Brook.
lyn bridge, and at the Lens Island plaza, of th.
Queenscoro Bridge.
The route over the Qi:eensboro Bridge would b«
carried In a subway under 53th street to a point
near Ninth avenue. "This line," the prospectus
says, "would eventually connect with the moving
platform equipment of the company proposing t«
bridge the Hudson River at or near 57th street,
thus establishing an east and west line from Los;
Island to New Jersey."
The proposed line over the WtlHamsbur? Bri«Jg»
is by far the longest and most comprehensive of
the eight routes outlined. Beginning at the Brook
lyn plaza of the Wllllaxnsburf; Bridge, on an ele
vated structure, and crossing the bridge to th«
Manhattan plaza, this route will extend in a sub
way under Delancey street, crossing the Bowery
and under private property to Centre street, thence
south In Centre street to near the Manhattan end
of the Brooklyn Bridge, thence along Park Row
and south in Nassau street to Broad street. th»nc«
south In Broad street to Beaver street, thence west
In Beaver street to a connection with the present
subway at Bowling Green.
It Is planned to carry the route over the Manhat
tan Bridge across town In a subway to terminate la
a loop at West and Watts street- This route would
begin at or near the Intersection of Nassau an*
Pearl streets In Brooklyn, on an elevated structure,
and would run north In Nassau street to the ap
proach of the Manhattan Bridge, thence across
the bridge and in a subway under Canal and Watts
street, to the terminal at West and Watts streets.
The Brooklyn Bridge route would begin at c?
near the Intersection of Nassau and Washington
streets In Brooklyn, and would extend on an ele
vated structure south to the approach of the brld?«
and across the bridge to the Manhattan plaza. It
would then run In a subway under City Hall Park,
crossing Broadway at Warren street, through War
ren. Church and Vesey streets, to a loop at the
intersection of Vesey street. West Broadway and
Greenwich street, or to a similar loop at some other
suitable point In that neighborhood. A connection
would be made with the Church street terminal at
the McAdoo tunneL
The communication says that th^eompany «13

DETAILS OF JOBEPH-TILDEN DEAL
Counsel for Sulzberger Gets Agreement Ad*
mitted as Evidence.

terday in the hearing of the euit brought by Mia
against Ferdinand 3ul*berg«r to recover the t«lu.
of stock amounting to over ono.OOO In the Schwar*
schlld A Sulxberger Company. He was cross-ex
amined at considerable length by Paul D. Cravath,
counsel for Bul«berger.
Samuel Vntermyer. who represents the plalntU.

over the admission of certain evidence. Jostle*
Brlanger finally allowed the admission of an agree
ment by which Joseph was to sell Mi stock In the
company to Edward Ttld<m. president of Th. Na
tional Packing Company, the -holding company
