INDICATED THE "RooTERs.,
Denial of Outrageous Treatment q
the Orioles.

In regard to the assertions that the Bal
timore players were outrageously treated
by the spectators in the games at Cleve-
land. Elmer E. Bates, the Cleveland eorre-
spondent of the Sporting Life, writes of
one of the games:
II am thus able to refute, with stubby
pencil on scratch paper, the idiotic charge
that the Orioles were subjected to any I'M
usual treatment here. A few farmers came
into town from Berea and brought with
them potatoes. These they hurled at each
other, and, incidentally, one or two got
out upon the field. This gave the newspa-
per boys who came along with Hanlon's
men great chance to shout about inter-
ference. In their eyes the potatoes were
gigantic rocks and instead of falling
harmlessly on the field they inflicted bad
bruises on the players
Now, all this is very silly. I haven't
saved much money in the newspaper bust
ness, but I will offer S25 to any Baltimore
player who will produce before a repu-
table witness any bruise, mark, abrasion.
wound, scar or other indication of injury
as result of the games played in this
city in the Temple cup games.
Some of the moIh-eaten, moldy and out
of-date notions about games being thrown
were put to rest as n result OF the first
three games In this city in the Temple cup
SERIES The Orioles simply were unable to
bat either Cuppy or Young with any eff
feet. That tells the whole story, but it
may be added that both pitchers were
backed up by superb fielding, as brilliant
as was ever seen On any diamond.
Presents came thick and fast in the
final game. Ed. Mexican got a diamond
ring worth s1O0. Cuppy received a present
of hammerless shotgun and n picture of
himself incased in silver. thinner doffed
his cap to a diamond pin; Young and Bur-
kett were given firearms in addition to the
latter's diamond medal; Pat 'rebeau's dia-
mond ring was worth 500 of airyhodys
money, and thus it went on, diamonds,
floral horse shoes, watches, umbrellas with
golden headed sticks, ETC.. ETC., to every
man on the team.

Princeton and Harvard VIII Play,
A letter has been received at Princeton
from Harvard, and the graduate advisory
board of Princeton passed resolutions
which were adopted by the executive COM
mittee The resolutions say that Princeton
will accept a proposition to play Harvard a
foot ball game at, Cambridge next year,
provided satisfactory adjustments of the
rules can be made, and they would ask
that Capt. Brewer appoint a meeting with
Capt. Lea and adjust rules and arrange de-
tails of the game. There is now little doubt
that the two colleges will come together
