In the last named case, was sick with
what the mother thought was a cold but
the physician who Is now attending the
infant finds that the little girl had had
slight attack of diphtheria.
There are now 10 cases at Riverside.

been reached.

TIGERS BASEBALL PROSPECTS,

Princeton is now turning to baseball to
regain some of the laurels lost on this
years football field and every effort will
be made 10 develop successful team.
Cage practice will begin about Feb. i.
and from that time until the end OF the
season there will be no letup In the
work.
At present the prospects for strong
team are very encouraging. The weak
spot on the team Is very nouceably in
the battery; the loss of Hillebrand and
Kafer will not be easily made good by
any material that the Tigers can show
up next spring.
The best pitcher now In sight is Un-

are confident that Capt. Green will be
able to look after the position behind
the plate. Last year he was almost
Kafer's equal. and, with practice next
spring. should prove, quite his equal. The
other vacancies, left and centre field, will
be acceptably filled by Roper. Brown and

yesterday posted a forfeit of $1,000 in the

Terry McGovern is given TIL jan to
accept the offer OF the National sporting

eral expenses to McGovern. II the latter
does not accept. he will never get anoth-

made him to meet Charley McKeever.
When Ryan was first told that the club
would give $500 purse and McKeever
would make side wager OF s2500. Tom
my considered he was insulted. as a boxer
of his reputation was in his opinion worth
at least as much as McGovern. A few
days ago Ryan notified the clubs repre-
sentative that he was ready TO accept the
clubs offer.
