PRINCETON's TREATMENT AT THE BALL GAME
RAISING MONEY FOR GREECE.
Providence r. L. May 10 (SpecaD.-The reports
that have appeared In the various newspapers CIV
ing information from Princeton. n. j.. regarding
the game al Brown University in Providence mas
misreprcsented nine from which the princeton
men received good treatment To say that the
unnirinr was unfair throughout the game is I'M
iust Mr. Burns has umpred games played by
Brown with Yale and Harvard and other teams a
great number OF times on the home grounds ana
on the visitors grounds, and has given general
satisfaction. 1t is charged that a fielder caught
a ball and that the umpire called 1t pickup
The truth is that IL pickup, that the Prince
ton captain hardly demonstrated when the decision
was rendered and the fielder himself acknowledged
to a Brown player that II was pickup. This was
one OF the two closest decisions In the game The
second one when Tenny hit the ball to right
field. bringing In Donovan and scoring himself
As far as the umpire could the ball 1t was
travelling along within fair lines. and 1t passed the
foul flag within fair lines Beyond that he could not
see and very rightly called 1t fair To this most
Of the people who watched the course OF the bail
assented Princeton wanted to take the word Of
one single man on the bleachers who said the ball
was foul. Now IT was little hard for Princeton
that Brown should so opportunely score two runs
that put IT just ahead OF the visitors. but
that IS one OF the fortunes OF baseball
Regarding the delay White had pitched only two
balls over the plate and not more than three az
three TO the first bascman, when Princeton left
the field Common courtesy ought 10 have been
enough TO cause Princeton 10 allow the pitcher a
moment (he certainly did not consume thrce) 10
warm up. The real delay had been caused by
Bustard, Browns first baseman' being knocked
out by Mackenzie. who ran into ut FIRST as he
