The enthusiasm expressed during the
phenomenal run of the Senator Hale
hose company was great. Man, woman
and child felt it in greater or less
degree. One young man became so
excited during the run that he tore to
bits a two-dOllar bill which he had in his
pocket and threw away the pieces before
he came to a realization of what he was
doing.
There We're several members of the
Oriole hose company of Bar Harbor at the

the race was fairly conducted. They said
that the Orioles would be glad to tackle
the Senators next summer.
Whenever Ed Jordan of the Dirigo
hose team has found any money just be-
fore hose race, the Dirigos have felt con-
tident of victory. But once this omen
failed. Jordan found some money before

PRINCETON. May 10.-Thirteen TO 0 tells the
story OF Yale's downfall before the Princeton
sluggers this afternoon. Rosy" Easton. the
young Princeton twlrler. was the hero " the
day. lie was simply lnvincible. sixteen of
Yalo's heaviest litters struck out. Easton did
not send n IMAM to the base on called balls. and
only two hits were made Oft his delivery. For
five innings the visitors went out In one, two.
three order. The Yale men put up n poor game
in the field. and were especially weak behind
the bat. Bartlett started In to catch, but could
not hold Treaudeau, and Twombly was substi-
tutod before the first inning was over. Hc was
decidedly of on his throwing to bases. and
Princeton men stole when they pleased.
The betting before the game was very light
Yale men asked for impossible odds, and the
Princeton supporters feared that their team
would be weak behind the bat, as 1t was told
about the campus this morning that Smith
was sick and would not be able to catch. Thsi
did happen, for in the third inning the plucky
Princeton back stop became too weak to hold
Easton's shoots and had to retire in favor Of
Titus. Just before the game was called a large
crowd of Yale roOters" entered the grounds In
n body singing:
Old Yale, Old Yale, how we'll twist the Tigers tail.
shortly after the game was called, with Yale
in the field and Ward at bat, the little short
stop drew his base on balls. Easton, however.
who came next, struck out. Altman got first
when Bartlett dropped his third strike, and
Ward scored on rrenudeau's wild pitch. Right
here Princeton began to hit. Kelley smashed II
two,haRger into left, sending Altman home and
scoring himself. A minute afterward. or. Brad
ley's single over De Sauble's head, the former
went to second on the throw in, and Smiths
single sent him over the plate. Smith went to
third on Twombley's high throw to second.
Gunster sacrificed, and Wheeler .fouled
out to Greenway, who made a beauti-
full catch. The Tigers added five more
runs to their score in the third inning.
through hits by Bradley, Titus. and Gunster
and errors byQuimby. Twomhley, and Greenway.
No more runs were made until the sixth inning.
Altman went out on n fly to Hnzen. and then
Yale went to pieces again. Trcaudeaus error
gave a life to Kelley. Bradley got his nase on
balls. Qu mby made u pretty stop OF wilson's
line hit and threw him out at first. TITUS
banged a single over second base, sending
Kelley and Bradley across the plate. TITUS
made the last run of the game on Gunster's
single to right.
Not a Yale man reached third base during the
game The nearest they Cline to scoring was
in the sixth inning. when Jerrems slid to first
on kelley's error. hut was forced at second by
Twombley after Tieaudeau had struck out.
Twombiey went to second when Ward threw
the ball over first base, but there he died, as
Quinby the next man up, struck. out. Outside
OF this inning the visitors saw first base only
three times. The score;
