Georgetown Shut-out Princeton
Through Crumley,s Good Pitching.


The base ball game Saturday afternoon
between the Georgetown College team and
the team from Princeton was almost en-
tirely battle of pitchers, the locals win
ming by the score of to o. Devoid of spec
tacular and sensational playing. 1t afforded
the 2,G00 persons on the grand stand ana
bleachers little opportunity for cheering.
but the interest in the contest was all-ab-
sorbing. In the third inning Georgetown
scored. the result of little Iooseness in the
Tigers Unfolding, and although 1t looked
brought in by the local boys this was n .
permitted by their rivals, who twice killed
men on third and more than twice on Sec
ond. While the Princeton players never
came as near to scoring as Georgetown
there were two situations in which such q
thing was highly possible. The fielding OF
both, however, was SO good that hopes died
almost invariably on the bases, where they
sprung up.
The prophecy made after the game be-
tween the Villa Iyovas and the local boys
in regard to the pitching of Crumley, the
Georgetown man from Mount Vernon, Ohio,
seemed to be wholly sustained Saturday.
He appeared to overlook nothing. In spite
OF the fact that the opposing team, all ex-
cept one man. was the same that won the
intercollegiate championship last year,
Crumley shut out it's members one by one.
His work was noteworthy for Its endurance
and wonderful control. He gave one base
on balls hit one batter and threw wild once,
and that was all there was to find fault
with. Stevens of Princeton was good also,
but clearly outclassed by the local man.
Taken as whole the game was one of the
most fascinating ever played here.

swapped punches with the champion.~ Al
though the latter invariably had the better
of each rally, suiil Mowatt reached Corbett
with powerful right swings to both body
and Jaw. Corbett w5s the stronger of the
two however and Mowatt was compelled
to break ground in nearly every rally.
Corbett had the better of every round
with the exception of the third In that
period Mowatt reached Corbett's jaw with
numerous left and right uppercuts. and the
Denverite wore a serious look as he went
to his corner. During the next three rounds.
however, Corbett leadly gained the upper
hand, and undoubtedly would have finished

the Local Team.

gettysburg College defeated Columbian
University IN the base ball game played on
Van Ness field Saturday afternoon by the
score of IA to 10. The visitors scored eleven
runs In the first three innings. due largely
to the wildness of the Columbian pitchers.
and the big lead gained at the beginning
was too great an obstacle for the local
colieGians to overcome
Harris went to the box for Columbian at
the opening of the game, and Rowe. the
first Gettysburg man 10 bat. landed on the
first ball thrown for three bases. Added to
this Harris gave Lantz a single and threw
the leather into the ribs of two more Gettys-
burg men, all Of which Melted the visitors
two runs. In the second inning Harris gave
two men passes to first hit two more Get
tysburg pla yers. and allowed three singles
off his delivery. The Gettysburg players ran
five scores across the plate. Hollander was
substituted for Harris in the third, but he.
too. was wild at the start. and the visitors
chalked four more runs in their tally col
umn. After this inning Hollander steadied
down and held the visitors for three hits
and three runs.
Columbian began to solve Lowers puzzles
in the second inning. Orfson singled and
stole second. and Purcell was passed to first,
Orison scoring on Harris sacrifice. Wilkie
negotiated four balls and the two men on
bases were brought In by ROzelle's three
Dagger to deep center. Stevenson singled
in the third and after stealing second was
brought home by Orison's single. In the
sixth Lowers strong arm weakened. and the
locals made merry with his benders. Pur-
cell drove hot one between first and Sec
ond and was safe at first. and Price reach
ed the initial sack on James error. Hollan-
der punched out, and Purcell and Price were
forced ecross the plaae by three bases on
balls. Stevenson then took the stick and
drove long safety into right field. scoring
the two men on bases, netting the locals
five runs for the inning. In the eighth the
lceafs- secured another run as the result of
a base on balls and three singles.
For Columbian Stevenson played an err
rorless game at first and carried of the
batting honors. securing three singles and
a base on balls in five times at bat Price
and Purcell both made spectacular catches
OF long flies in their respective fields. In the
seventh inning James was hit In the temple

Money Spent on Diamonds.

A cablegram from London says: Man
chester clergyman recently expressed re-
greet in sermon at the fact that En-
glands yearly diamond bill amounted to
100000.
The most recent available figures prove
that England Is not so extravagant. For
the year ended June So 1908. the De Beers
Company sold 100000 carats for 5.2t0, 900
sterling. London was the best Paris the ser
ond and New York good third as diamond
markets. England in 1903 probably spent
just over 100000.
Diamonds are costlier than they were ten
years ago. The Kimberley output Ia 1883
was practically the same as in 1908, but the
price obtained In 1883 was Il, 100000. as
compared with f5,2i0o00 In 1903. This was
due mainly to the De Beers amalgamation

Original Umpiring.

There Is an amateur base ball umpire In
small inland town in PENNSYLVANIA who
when in doubt as to the rules of the game
as laid down by the base ball authorities.
manufactures rules to suit himself and
the occasion. Some Of this umpire,s home.
made rules are decidedly unique and novel.
to say the least, and no doubt would make
some Of the old ball-tossers catch their
breath.
The other day this PENNSYLVANIA unpire
was sitting in judgment In game between
the mines OF two small towns. The score
was tied at the beginning OF the last half
Of the ninth inning, and the team at bat
was making a strenuous effort to tear or
an extra score. With two men out the hat
tiers had filled the bases. and the crowd
was yelling Itself hoarse urging the man
at bat to send the ball over the railroad
track along the outskirts of the diamond.
The batsman had two strikes and three
balls, and all depended on the next deliy-
cry of the pitcher.
The slab artist squared away and sent
the leather about foot wild to the side of
the plate. when the umpire, noticing that
all the bases were full. loudly announced
his decision as follows:
-Four balls. You're out: there's no place
to put you"
The umpire may be able to leave the hos
pitai In time to witness the closing game
of the season in an invalid's chair.

An interesting story is toll of Lieu

Governo Becki1au. the chief OK

to the st. Louis Democratic CONVEX
ton. While he was absent the du-
ties of the office Gevolved pom the
lieutenant governor. On the second
or third day OF his temporary incu1r-
bency Of the executive chair a ycun"
woman, the mother Of a three-mOEths-
old babe, was brought to the Ken
lucky ~penitentiary to serve a term Of
ten years Imprisonment for murder.
AS the woman with the babe in her
arms, entered the penitentiar2 Z dcle-
cation of men and women entered the
Office of Acting Governor Thorne with
a request for her unconditional par
don. The story of the alleged crime,
trial and conviction OF the as
related to the acting governor, was.
briefly, as follows:
The young wife ~as living happilv
with her husband, whcc another
young woman, with equal or superior
personal charms. came upon the
scene and won from the wife. soo TO
be a mother. the affections and the
attentions of the husband. In plain
English. a weak man and husband
was seduced by a brazcn woman h
enraged wife met the Drazcn seducer
in the oad and killed her. The wife
was arrested, tried, convicted and
sentenced to the p~cnitentiary for a
term of ten years. The acting o
ernor pardoned her before she had
served t~wenty-four hours, and gave
his reason in the following language:
There is a certain sentiment in
Kentucky, called unwritten law, which
has prevailed in many cases under
observation. When men have
acquitted by judge and jury in
cases their decision has met
with applause"
And his lieutenant governor was
right. What is good for the man in
a case is good for the woman,
and thatSis all that can De made of it.
