Princeton, N. j., May 29.-The George

Princeton in a contest marked with beau
tiful plays, timely batting, and magnificent
team work. 1t was the third defeat Prince

Georgetowns big pitcher never twirled
better game in his life. He used excellent
judgment, the bases on balls against him
being gifts, pure and simple, as he wanted
to get the big hitters out of his way. He
fielded his position admirably, while the
team behind him played an errorless
game, a fine double by Moran, Fleming,
and Mccarthy being a feature Downes

phenomenal order, a long run nearly to
second base. The Princetons played fine
game, the work of Hutchinson, Hutching,

Comments of Harry Elkes upon motor

on the present style of long tandem ma
chine with two riders only, the wind shield
Is absolutely necessary to successful fol-
lowing of the machine. Without the shield
the wind blows the rider away from his
position. Middle distance men have a
habit of running up along side of the big
five-seated machines to save themselves
from the wind and the wind shield on the
tandem style prevents them doing this
and they are blown away anyway. Fixes
will accordingly have two machines built
on the quad pattern to fit four riders, ard
will thus do away with the wind shield
and be able to shift round the machine
out of the wind. 1t is said that not
rider could follow Fournier a lap in 0:34
last Saturday owing to the strong side
wind which blew them away from the
shield.
