PRINCETON WON.
Blue and Gray Lads Defeated in Close
Game.


The Princeton nine again showed it's old
form and carried out the long established
custom Of overcoming the Georgetown team
on Prfnceton's grounds yesterday after
| noon, the score being to 3 in the Tigers
favor
From the first inning the spectators knew
the game would be tight one and every
play of merit was heartily cheered by the
loyal undergraduates. In the first inning,
with two men on the bases and one out,
Bard. who has the best batting record for
Princeton, was struck out. He was followed
by Wells. who retired the side on an in
| field fly.
Brilliant work was noticeable at every
stage. particularly the outfielding of Davis
and Thompson, and the tnfeld work Of
Germany at short and Shiller at second.
Captain Pearson was decidedly ahead in
handling the stick and crossed the home
plate twice for Princeton. His three Dagger
/ in the fourth resulted In a run. while his
second talley came from base on balls
and Purnelrs timely double in the seventh.

of their seven hits.
| The Tigers knew they had hard propo-

| judged largely by the outcome. Drill out

underground passage, around by Cincin-

| During this flight Mr. Orth lay concealed
| all of one day in the Burnet House a. Gin

| hunted athlete. Whenever a dog barked
in the alley Mr.. Orth grew still paler and

At last thank goodness, those cruel slav-

safely at least once. Lee has been very
effective against certain clubs, but Boston
is not one of them.

weakened the aggregation very perceptibly.

back in the game victories will be few and

Holmes has played the outfield almost ex-
clusively during his career In base ball, and
the infield naturally looks queer to him.
Notwithstanding this handicap he covered
second base fairly well yesterday, accept

his lack of ability to cover ground Is what
handicaps the WashingtonS.
Back of Young the Bostons put up bril-
liant game, fielding without an error. ana
under the circumstances the Collins1tes won
the game by right.
Neither side scored in the first inning, but
in the second Boston got to work. and
when the final hand had been retired three
runs had been hung up. Parent reached
first on Robinson'S error and scored on Fer
ris' single. Young then laced the ball to
the fence for home run, rounding out the
trio of runs.
In the fourth Delehanty singled and
reached third on Ryan's single. Carey then
hit hot one to Ferris and while he was

FAMOUS CHOCTAw CHIEF.
His Portrait Added to the Collection
Held by the State of Mississippi.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
The Mississippi department of archives
and history received a valuable contribu-
ton to the gallery Of portraits of distin-
guished historical personages of the state.
1t is an elaborate oil painting of Greenwood
Lefiore. the Choctaw chieftain. The paint
ing was done by granddaughter of the
old chief, Miss Florence Ray. Lefore was
the last of the great chiefs Of his tribe,
who ruled the tribe of the Choctaws before
they migrated to the western reservations
Lefore was the son of Louis LIE F1eur, a
French Canadian, who came to the Missis-
sippi territory in the early days. and set
tied and married an Indian maiden daugh-
was born in 1900.
AS soon as he was old enough Lefore's
father sent him to Nashville to school,
where he remained until he was seventeen
years of age. He returned to Mississippi
in 1917. At the age of twenty-four he was
chosen chief of his tribe. One of his most
important acts as chief was his advocacy
OF the celebrated treaty Of Dancing Rabbit
creek. In return for his valuable services
In peaceably adjusting the differences be-
tween the Indian tribes and the govern
ment Lef1ore was granted several large
tracts of land by treaty with the govern
ment. These lands were located in what Is
now Lefiore county, which takes its name
from the old chief. At one time he repre-
Senleu Cdrrou county IN the legislature of
the state.
He decided not to follow his tribes in
their migration from Mississippi, and set
tied down on his lands in Lefiore county,
where he built a most elegant home nine
miles from the present town of Greenwood,
"Malmaison," historic old landmark that
is pointed out with pride by the citizens Of
that community to this day.
Greenwood Leflore is one. of the most pic
turesque and interesting characters in the
history of Mississippi. One of the heir
looms of his family Is a magnificent sword
that was presented to him by the President
Of the United States when he was made
chief Of the Choctaws. It was Lef1ore who
had a clash with Andrew jackson, then
President Of the United States. He was
protesting against the act of some Indian
agent in Mississippi. After lengthy going
over the matter Old Hickory said: 81 An
drew Jackson, President Of the United
States. say that the agent is an honest
man" To which Lef1ore replied: "And I,

say he is thief"

route from Washington to the free states

on to Boston.
On one of these perilous expeditions the
fugitives reached Wilmington some time
before the boat sailed. The man hunters

WIRE FENCE TELEPHONES.
Lots Of Them Used by Farmers in Indi-
ana and Illinois.

From the Indianapolis News.
ST think Senator Charles w. Fairbanks
plan to extend the special quick mail de-
livery now given to cities and towns. to the
remote rural sections by adopting the
farmers telephone lines as a part of the
government mail service, Is immensely
practical, and that it will be done with
great success" said DR.. Alexander Ora
ham Bell. the father of the telephone, be-
fore he left Indianapolis last night.
1.-THE time has come when the government
cannot further ignore the part the tele-
phone Is playing in our community, state
and national life Telephone conversations
have been held to be legally binding in
many instances. Senator Fairbanks is
simply In advance of the rest of Congress.
The telephone lines are now RUNNING out
through farming sections and to places
remote from the post offices, telegraph and
telephone stations The senator will have
no trouble in getting the support of Con-
gresS to make the experiments In rural
special telephone delivery of rush mail
matter.
His scheme to have a special 10-cent
stamp prepared that, when posted on let
ter. will be notice for the postmaster to
open that letter and telephone its con-
tents is very simple. Such an addition to
the mail service would not only add to
the effectiveness of the entire service and
occupy field that the telegraph does not
even invade but 1t would have the effect
Of entirely covering the country with far
mers' telephone lines, and it would only be
few years until every up-to-date farmer
In the country would have telephone
hanging on his country home wall
There, connected up on the trunk lines
would mean that telephone charges would
probably be reduced in time, because of the
extra use Of the telephone, and that man
living in one section of the country would
be able to talk right into the home OF his
rural relatives over In another state, and
at very low tariff rate. So the scheme
that Senator Fairbanks is unfolding is one
of wide Importance. not only in adding to
the mail facilities, but also to the COM
mercial and social facilities OF the coun-
try
DR.. Bell was greatly Interested in the
way the farmers lines that cover most of
Indiana and Illinois and other central
states had been built by cooperative COM
