How the Clubs Stand.
The Umpire Strikes Back.

Mr.. Frank X. Clements of Petersburg.
Va, Is to bring suit for damages against
the Sporting Life, weekly newspaper pub
lished in Philadelphia. Some DAYS ago
there appeared in this paper an article CIV
Ing an account of a game of base ball
played in Petersburg between the Peters
burg and Norfolk clubs, which was UNI
pired by Mr.. Clements. The article was
sent from Norfolk The writer was very
severe on Mr.. Clements, and that gentle
man, believing that the article was libel
Gus. wrote to a lawyer of Philadelphia in
regard to the matter, sending him CODY
OF the paper containing the article. Yester=
day Mr.. Clements received a letter from
his counsel. who stated that the article was
clearly libelous. The case win come up be-
fore the United States court in Philadel-

that the damages will be placed at $4,000

The PrincetOB-PennsyIva Game.
Intense interest centers in today's Prince
ton-Pennsylvania game at Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia Press says: Princeton is
more particularly Pennsylvania rival
than is Yale, and the crowd today should
exceed that at the Yale game. The cheer
iEg will not all be for the Quakers, either,
as the Princeton students are coming down
in mass to cheer their favorites on. 1t is
next to impossible to pick the winner, al
tf rough some enthusiastic Quakers have
given odds on their team. Pennsylvania has
a better batting team. but Altman is prob
ably trifie more effective than Schoenhut.
Hence the batting should be but slightly in
favor of Pennsylvania. Princeton. on the
other hand, Is slightly superior in the field.
CornelPs Rally in the Ninth.
The game between the Cornell and Uni-
versity of Virginia teams, played on the
athletic grounds at Charlottesville yesterday
afternoon, was beautifully played up to the
last half of the ninth inning, when the score
stood to / in favor of the University of
Virginia. In this inning the 'Varsities went
to pieces and allowed Cornell to make three
runs. The final score was to 3 in favor of
Cornell.
