March Rickard, promoter of the Jeffries-Johnson battle at Reno, Nev, July 4. 1910, is the backer of the contest, although Sam McCracken, a circus man and a personal friend of Biekard, Is named In the articles as the promoter. Neither Wlllard nor Moran has yet signed articles of agreement, although both have signified their willingness to accept the terms offered by Biekard through McCracken. According to the contract, Wlllard Is to receive 30,000 and 51 percent of the receipts of any moving pictures taken. Moran is offered 000.

Wlllard also I to receive a bonus of 5000 for Midline the contract. Moran' share of the picture receipts and bonus, If any, is not stated. The articles of agreement are on their way to Chicago for Willard's approval. The promoters say they have received word from Tom Jones, the champion's manager, that the terms are satisfactory and that the articles will be signed as soon as they are placed before VYil-lard. After Willard signs, Moran's signature will be obtained.

Willard will be required upon signing to post a forfeit of J5000 for his appearance. The promoters plan to deposit the total amount of the purse in the hands of stakeholders 48 hours before the bout. It is estimated that the aggregate expense of the bout will be close to $65,000 and the receipts about $100,000. No place has as yet selected, although Madison Square Garden, a large theatre and a structure formerly used as a carhouse by one of the local traction companies are being considered. According to Rickard, all seats will be reserved and prices will probably range $10 uo to $100 or more for rine-Kirip MAKES NO SECRET OF THE ART OF PITCHING THE FADEAWAY Donahue, the old Dartmouth cage guardian, accepted all of his many chances except one, and some of the drives sent at him by Hicks, Phillips and Wanamaker were difficult to handle.

Wigglesworth, new to tne brand of hockey played at the Arena most of the time, was pressed into service by the Harvard alumni, and for part of the contest held his own. but in the second period could not stand the pressure and tour easv shots got by. Harvard rather surprised the small crowd by holding B. A. A.

to a one-all score in" the first half. So aggressive were the Crimson and Black forwards that Wigglesworth was not nearly as busy as Donahue. As the game wore on, the Harvard men slowed up and the puck was more often in their danger zone than out of it. B. A.

A. scored first when Hutchinson took a pass from Huntington after seven minutes of play. The lone Harvard tally was made in 13 minutes, Hicks and Phillips giving a pretty exhibition of team work. Hicks took the puck straight down and, foxing Huntington, passed over to Phillips, who sent one too fast for Donahue to handle. After the recess, the Unicorn went at its opponents with a rush and soon had a couple of points to the good.

Osgood made the first one, getting a pass in midrink and sifting through the Harvard defense. Hutchinson scored the next on a high, long lift that just barely made the cage. Later on Jones duplicated this with a drive from the side that was unexpected. Just before the final bell Jones got loose with Harvard's outer defense up the ice and he had little bother in driving the puck home. The game was not particularly interesting, the feature being the number of times that Phillips spoiled Skilton's rushes.

The big fellow had an off night, only once getting clear for a drive. The summary: BAA HARVARD CI.1H Jones rw lw Wanamaker Hutchinson Phillips Osgood Hicks Sands lw few HnntiuKton cp cjfrClatiin Skilton Clifford Donahue Wigglesworth Score. B. A. A.

Harvard Hockey Team Is PutThrough a Hard Workout-PIaying Much More Finished. The Harvard hockey team went through a severe workout on the ice surface of the Arena last night in anticipation of the important game scheduled for Princeton on Saturday night. Coach Winsor trie several combinations by which he sought to strengthen the wings without lessening the center of the Crimson's attack, but gave no Indication of what the line up of th9 team will be when it faces the Tigers. Princeton will come with a team of veterans, which, it is feared, may catch Harvard in a slump. The tigers, however, are going to meet a somewhat different team from the one that played against both Queens and Cornell.

George Percy, who was unable to appear in either of these two games, will be back in the forward line, and his presence will make quite a difference, as the Harvard strong man is a high-class player, whose work has made the forward line fast and effective. Even with Percy back in the lineup. Harvard is going against a tough proposition. Any team that takes the Yale varsity into camp, as did Princeton in a three-game series, must be reckoned on as a formidable opponent. The Tigers have had plenty of practice in workouts at the St Nicholas rink, to say nothing of the long stay at Pittsburg during the Christmas hmolidays.

That one I picked up, I replied. "Can you control he inquired. "Not very well." Davis missed another one which I was lucky enougli to beno over the pan. "That's a good one. That's all right," he declared enthusiastically.

"It's a slow in-curve to a right-handed batter a change of pace with a curve ball, a regular fallaway or fadeaway." So the fadeaway was born at morning practice at the Polo Grounds. George Davis, the old shortstop, named it. I finally got the fadeaway down good and began using it in games. As nearly as I can explain it, this is the way I get the result: The outcurve is thrown by letting the ball slip off the end of the thumb with a spinning motion that causes it to bend away from a right-handed batter when it la being pitched by a right hander. The palm of the hand is held toward the sky when the ball is let go.

This is a natural position. By turning my hand over so the palm is toward the ground, I can let the ball slip off over the thumb with a spinning motion, but the thumb is now toward the body instead of away from it as when the out-curve is released. The hand is held in an unnatural position, and the wrist must be snapped to get results. This snap of the wrist is what makes the curve so difficult to By CHRISTY MATHEWSON. Ambition is a great little thing.

Some boys want to be President and others would only like to know how to pitch the fadeaway. Here is one who inclines toward the fadeaway. He writes me in red ink as follows: "I guess you think I have an awful nerve to write you asking you this question, but you will have to pardon me. They say if you don't ask questions you will never hear anything. WThat I want to know is, if I am not asking too much or trying to pry into your life secret, will you please kindly tell nie how to pitch tiie fadeaway ball and also how the emery ball Is held and thrown? I will be very thankful to you if you can see your way clear to teach me this.

I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year." The writer is Frank Hall of Alexandria, Va. I will tell, as nearly as 1 can, how the fadeaway is thrown. There is nothing up mv sleeve when I pitch it. When 1 was a kid, I was always experimenting with different sorts of delivery, and the fadeaway was one brand that" I had worked on. although it was not known as the fadeaway then.

Too much success-too much ease and victory produces fatness, softness, lack of the proper fiber. This statement is important as regards the present status of this Nation, frequently known as the U.

No interference is expected by the promoters from either the local or State authorities, since 10-round no-decision bouts are permitted under the New York State laws upon a payment of 1 per-eetit of the gross gate receipts and compliance with other minor rules and regulations provided for by the statutes. Rickard. who since he promoted the Jeffries-Johnson contest has been engaged In the cattle and beef industry in Argentina, i at present in this city on business relating to his South A merit an ranches.

He said today he was not going to manage the proposed bout, but was simply furnishing the financial backing for McCracken. "I told McCracken I thought a bout between Wlllard and Moran would be big money maker." said Rickard, "and agreed to supply the capital. "Beyond that I am not going to be interested, but I will back other contests if I find the receipts and attendance equal my expectations. If the Willard-Moran bout is a financial success I will offer a large purse for a championship wreatling match between Frank tlotch and Joe Steelier." Taking the Gambler's Chance. Biekard has bet noted for his propensities for taking what he terms "gambler's chances" and he has made and lost several large fortunes.

His otter of $101,000 for the Jeffries-Johnson bout surpassed all other bidders, and it was thought he would never take that amount in the gate, yet the tight held at Beno. Nev, drew $270,756, netting him a big profit. This was the largest purse ever offered for a light to a finish, just as his offer of today is the largest ever offered for a contest. The largest ga.o ever taken for a bout in this city was at the Jeffries-Shaikey i-rounil fight at Coney Island Nov 3, 1SS9.

and the Giants of 1911-1913. These were all great machines. They were considered well-nigh invincible. But after two or three seasons of constant Ictory of good luck they went soft, and were easily dismantled. You may recall how the old Cub caved in and blew.

You certainly remember how the famed Mackmen went to the mush when they were still a young club and supposed to be at their best. They went bad through the softness brought on by too much prosperity. and control. The wrist must be snapped away from the body. The ball goes spinning slowly up to a right-handed batter, "dead," and then drops and curves in.

These are all fair samples of clubs or clans who were wrecked mainly because they lost their pep and ambition because they hadn't suffered sufflciently to become strong and hardy again. This proof can be extended to football. Ten years ago Yale was beating Harvard and Penn. was trimming Cornell as regularly as the arrival of each frosty Thanksgiving. All this time Yale and Penn.

were growing soft and fat and careless from too muoh victory. AH this time Harvard and Cornell were learning bitter but valued lessons from defeat. You may recall what has happened the last few years since Yale and Penn. began to pay the penalty. You may recall what has happened not to Harvard and Cornell, but to Yale and Penn.

It was the most natural thing in the world.

DESPITE LATTER'S RALLY After being outclassed by Cornell in the first half of its game at the Arena yesterday, Technology came back with a rush in the second, but the Cornell defense stiffened and the Ithacans won, 2 to 0. The Work of goaltend Myers of Cornell was a big factor in choking off Tech's efforts. At the first whistle Cornell started off strongly and soon had the puck down in Tech territory, and managed to keep it there most of the half except for an occasional rush for the Cornell goal from a recovery out of scrimmage, all being turned back by the Cornell defense. The first score came when the first period was about half over. Hunter, who had been playing a strong game at coverpoint, received the puck near the middle of the ring, and by clever dodging evaded the Tech defense and shot a pretty goal from the side.

Shortly after this 'i ech came near scoring on a recovery by Wanamaker, who took the puck up to the goal and passed to Clarke, but Myers stopped a difficult shot. Cornell's second score came just before the bell. Tech had taken the puck up to the center, where there was a lively scrimmage. The Tech defense came up and took part in it. At this point Babbitt received the puck on a pass by Harding and started toward the Tech goal, defended by only the goal-tend.

Johnson made a good effort to stop the shot, but it got by him for the second tally. In the second half the Tech men started with a rush and carried the puck into Cornell territory. They had a number of shots at the goal and for a time Myers was the busiest man on the ice. On a pass out from behind goal by Hill, Babbitt, Cornell's busy rover, received the puck and worked up through the whole Tech team for a shot which failed only by the narowest of margins. Here Cornell's attack seemed to stop and Tech assumed the offensive.

Wanamaker took the puck from a passout after Babbitt's miss and shooting along the edge of the rink, carried It up near the goal where he evaded Hunter and passed to Clarke directly In front of the goal. Clarke easily scored.
