cumbed to Georgetown to-day by score of to 10.
The damp raw weather made high class ballplay-
ing impossible and the game won more by
strategy than merits. Georgetown opened the
sixth inning with series of hunts that upset the
Tigers and sent Underh into the air. -Four hunts,

balls Drills two-bagger, Dormans safe bunt and
a feder's choice resulted in seven runs and VIC
In the next inning. after Georgetown had a
chance to retire Princeton without a run, the
Tigers uncorked a fusillade of four clean singles
for three runs, but all hope TO avert defeat was

WATCH AS A COMPASS.
II You Are Lost at Land or Sea Your
Ti6lepiece Will Aid Y0u to Find
Your Way Home.

If you ever get lost in forest or
drift out to sea in your sailboat the
face of your watch will serve as a COM
pass to help you find your way home,
provided you can see the sun. You
have only to hold the watch fat in
your hand, with the hour mark then
indica ted as the time of day pointed
directly at the sun, and point half
way between that hour mark and
XII will be opposite to due south in
the sky.
For example, supposing that it is ten
o'clock in the morning, hold the watch
SO that the mark X points straight at
the sun, and the mark NJ, half way
between the X and XII, will be point
ing toward the south.
Or, supposing it is four o'clock in the
afternoon, hold the watch so that iii
points straight at the sun, and the
mark II, half way between iii and
XII, will be pointing toward the south.
This rule is infallible, as you may
find by testing it at any hour of the
day, for it is based on a very simple
scientific principle. The entire circuit
of the heavens, as traversed by the
sun in "a hours, is reckoned 800 de-

bottom; then commence binding at
the top over all three, the umbrella
handle, the Irvine and the stick.
Wind the string around very tight
and when you reach the bottom tie
the Irvine you hold to the loose end
of the length under the wrappings.
Examine carefully and be sure the
handle does not slide or twist on the
stick; then push the point of the
stick down into the ground at the
place decided upon for the playhouse.
If you are not strong enough to erect
the house by yourself, ask some COM
panions to lend hand and help sink
the stick firmly in the earth. When
this is accomplished stretch out each
length of Irvine in turn and drive the
peg in the ground. You will need
wide .uf1le of some kind of material
long enough to reach around the out
er circle of pegs when it falls from

grees-that is, the sun travels IS de-
grees every hour. Now, let your watch
dial represent the circuit of the heav-
ems, each of the IL hour spaces stand
ing for 30 degrees. Each half hour
space, therefore, would stand for Is
degrees.
If it is ten o'clock in the morning,
and you let X point toward the sun,
you will see that in two hours time
the sun will be on the meridian, or due
south; but as every half hour space
on your watch represents Is degrees,
the distance travelled by the sun in one
hour, it will travel two of these spaces
in two hours. In other words, at the
expiration of two hours the sun will
be on the meridian, and the meridian
is now, therefore, opposite to XI, be-
cause NJ is two half-hour spaces
from x.
If it is four o'clock, the sun is four
hours past the meridian, therefore, is
opposite to point four half hour
spaces back from iii, which is in.

THE COMPLETE PLAYHOUSE.

the umbrella. The stretched twine
will hold the rutfle out, forming an
odd little playhouse with smooth,
round roof and drapery walls. Plat
the ruffle and pin it on the umbrella
with safety pins; also fasten it at the
bottom to each peg. Newspapers
pasted together and made of double
thickness may take the place of
woven walls, if more convenient, but
be careful in handling the paper, as
it tears readily. The longer the pole
the higher you make your house and
the longer the strings must be, con-
sequently the larger the house.

UMBRELLA PLAYHOUSE.
How to Make q Comfortable ana
Shady Nook In Which to Spend
Vacation Hours.

This is how to make an open air
playhouse of a large umbrella: Tie
strong piece of Irvine securely to tho
end of each of the ribs and tie the
loose end of each piece of Irvine
around the notch cut in pointed
wooden peg a short distance from it's
top. This will give an umbrella with
a fringe of dangling pegs. Open the
umbrella and fasten the handle Sc
curely to long, sharp pointed stick,
binding the two together with strong
Irvine. First run one end of the
Irvine down the length you intend
binding, allowing enough to tie at the
