LOCALS LOST TO LEHIGH.
The Catholic Varsity Squelched by

Lehgh defeated Catholic University yes
terday at National Park, by score OF
10 to 7.
Aside from the fact that the home team
was defeated, it was a splendidly- played
and exciting game after the first inning.
In that inning the visitors, on one little
hit, and that scratch, aided by three
errors by the home team, scored two
runs.
The first man up for the visitors went
out easy second to first. 1t was then tie
boys went TO pieces and allowed two men
to cross the plate on errors. This made

team, mad, and he killed the next two at

credit. Some of these, with the assist

reach first. Still, Mac is credited with the
strike-out.
The home team failed to score until the
fourth inuing, when, by punching their
hit :, a base on balls, and errors by Pomeroy
and Heck, of the Lehighs, they scored three
runs They did not score again until

Happy Over the Settlement of the
Rusie Trouble.


New York, A pril 20 The statement that
Pitcher Amos Rusie had signed a New
York club contract and would report for
duty at once was the cause for much re-
joicing among the eranks today. RUsc
did not put his name TO the document
until late Monday night, and today he
notified President \ e. Young, of the
National Lea que, to promulgate the fact
officially. Now that Rusie has signed

among the players throughout the National
League to financially support Rusie in
legal proceedings against the reserve
rule
1t leaked oIt few days ago that the
magnatcs al tf.eir conference in the Fifth
Avenue Hotel last week discussed this
movement among the players and reached
the conclusion that Rusie would win his
suit. They also saw that in such an
event, the reserve rule being broken,
all the clubs would be burdened with
suits and that In due time the players
would be able to dictate terms
When tie magnates broke up their con-
ference last Wednesday night their plan
