PRINCETON TIGERS ARE
PRIMED FOR VENGEANCE
Georgetown Will Meet Old
Foes Again Today.
College Campus Will Be Scene Of Mighty
Baseball Struggle-Cox to
Pitch.

Smarting under the defeat administered
on Saturday. the Princeton Tigers will
take the field this afternoon in anything
but an amiablc frame of mind toward the
triumphant Georgetown ball-tossers.
They have repeatedly announced their in
tention of turning the tables and secur
ing their revenge by completely showing
urder the wearers of the Blue and Gray.
That is the Princeton side. An entirely
different story is in circulation across
Rock Greek. In fact. Georgetown is
quietly laughing up its sleeve. The boys
hold that. as they have already put one
extremely painful twist in the Tigers
appcndages. there is no good reason why
they should not repeat the operation with
even greater severity.
If this little feat can be accomplished,
and there are nine lads who have a deep
rooted idea that it can be. Georgetown
will have more than an even chance of
winning the collegiate pennant. The game
Saturday demonstrated that there is moth
ing seriously the matter with their bat
ting eyes; that possibly it was only
temporary astIgmatism that put them to
the bad in the Yale game. In any event
they are preparing a warm reception for
Old Nassau upon it's return today, and
will make a determined effort to break
even on the series.
Underhill VS.. Cox
Princeton will have the same team in
the field this afternoon that faced the
local boys before. Underhill. who was
taken out early in the game Saturday.
will open for Old Nassau. Georgetown
did not punish him badly, but they
seemed to take liking to his curves. and
the Princeton management showed its
long headedness in removing him from
the box. Today, however, he may turn
out to be just the lad to turn the trick
for Princeton.
II is extremely probable that Cox will
be sent into the box for Georgetown.
Bobby Rlewett is perfectly capable of go
ing in, but it would not be a bad idea to
save Robert for the Yale aggregation to-
morrow Cox has demonstrated that he
is the coming pitcher of the college. His
command is wonderful, but better than
all else. he is a hard worker. He is not.
perhaps, the heady worker that Blewett
is. but that will come in time.
The makeup of the teams for this after
noon will be as follows:
Georgetown - Drill. catcher: Cox or
Mackay. pitcher; Bowling. first base;
Dorman, second base: Morgan, third base:
Moran, shortstop; Golden, left field
O'Hara. centre field, and Apperious, right
field.
Princeton-Green. catcher; Underhill.
pitcher: Pearson, first base; Stienweind-
er, second base; Wells. third base; Ne'r
shortstop: Brown. left field: CO grow.

San JOSE SCALE
PRODUCING DISCUSSION
Scientists and Laymen Do
Not Agree.
BAD EFFECT ON THE VERDURE
Claimed That Scale Has Been Found on
Plants and Vines at Library of Con-
gress, and Fears Expressed of Their
Utter Annihilation.

There is said to be an interesting dis
cussion going on between experts con-
nected with the Agricultural Department
and lovers of nature not connected with
that establishment, over the question as
to whether what is known as the San
Jose scale is at work in the National
Capital or not.
] 1t is claimed by some persons who give
much time to the raising of flowers, trees,
and plants, that the dreaded scale has set
its blighting power upon the shrubbery
in the grounds of the Library of Con-
gress, and that unless hasty and careful
action is taken it will eventually surely
annihilate all of the beautiful verdure
| there and find its way to other reserva-
tions where similar verdure so bounti-
fully abounds.
On the other hand, it is said, the Agri-
cultural Department folks assert that this
apprehension is not founded on fact; that
the scale does not prevail in the Library
grounds nor anywhere else in this sec
tion.
To this the alarmed ones reply that
something is certainly sapping the life
of the trees and bushes and plants in
these grounds. II it is not the SCALE
what, they ask the agricultural people,
is it?
Came From China.
The San Jose scale. it is said, was
brought to this country twenty or twenty
five years ago, when certain plants were
imported from China and given root in
the vicinity of the California city. In its
native country it is known as the Chinese
scale. 1t is described by those who claim
to know about 1t as a filmy gray sub
stance. not unlike, in appearance, fish
scale.
The scale, they also claim, has grad
ually been travelling East. Their ex-
PLANTATION of its progress is that birds
lighting on a tree or bush that is in its
grasp pick up particles of the scale with
their feet and transfer them to the next
tree on which they rest. 1t is not held
that the birds are willful accomplices of
this enemy of nature. The scales stick
to their feet, and they unwittingly carry
them about.
Working Its Way East.
That the San Jose scale is vending its
way east is demonstrated by the fact that
for g number of years ii has had a hold
in Pennsylvania, where now there is a
law that imposes heavy fire on any
person who permits tree or bush to
stand on which it is Known to exist.
Some people in tha Keystone State use
a solution Of coal oil and fish oil, it is
said. with considerable success in eradi-
eating it.
The most powerful and certain remedy
for it. however. is said TO be a peculiar
bug that thriyes in China. These beetles,
it is alleged. kill ii slowly, but surely,
and the suggestion has been made that
the importation of these bugs will sooner
or later become necessity for the pro-
tection of the yerdure here and else
" here in this country.

STORY OF A MAN WHO HELPED
L KE HISTORY.
He Fought in the Famous Seventeenth
Indiana Voiunteers-Some of HIS
Experiences.

From the beginning to the end of
the civil war none fought more vail
antly than the famous Seventeenth In
diana Volunteers. The story of their
battles, their privations and their vic
tories is long but interesting one.
In company B, of this regiment, was
Eli Fisher, now resident of Jet,
Woods Co.. Okla, who has fund of
entertaining "reminiscences of his ex-
periences in bivouac and battle. To
a reporter the other day he related
the following:
SIN 1864" he said, while serving
with my company, began to suffer
with various complaints brought on
by hardship and exposure. l had
hemorrhages of the kidneys, palpita-
ton of the heart and at times would
bloat from stomach trouble. My lungs
were also affected. From my suffer
ing and misery | became nervous and
my nerves finally went all to pieces.
Il became forgetful and distracted
in mind and it seemed that there could
be nothing which would bring me re.
lief. I was treated in Atlanta, Ga,
by the regimental doctor but did not
get any better In 1865 I was muster
ed out and then l tried other doctors.
At various times five different physi-
clans treated me and took many
kinds of medicine but nothing did me
any good. From 1887 until 1890 I
was confined to my bed most of the
time and my case seemed hopeless.
But in 1890 | read in a newspaper
of how an Iowa man, suffering from
the same illness in general as | had,
was cured by DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. I decided to see
what they would do for me and began
taking them. I used three boxes of
the pills before experiencing relief
but after that my recovery was rapid
In two months | felt like a new man
both in body and mind. I took them
for four months and was perfectly
cured
81 have recommended DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People many
times. l do SO, because l know from
personal experience that they have
wonderful power to relieve and cure
the sick"

have accomplished hundreds of equal
