By Rotlis errors and the inability
of the Occidental team to connect with
Fitzwilliams' slants the st. Vincents'
squad had lead of two runs when
Umpire Ireland called the end Of the
opening game of the intercollegiate
baseball season at St. Vincents' CAM
pus yesterday afternoon.
The seance began with st. Vincents
in the field and Occidental handled the
sticks. Fitzwilliams was cold and let
Clever walk and then famed Spald-
ing and Beal without letting the boys
from Highland Park get even distant
view of the third stopping place.
Tally, the first man to swing the will
low for st. Vipcents. found the Occi-
dental pitcher ON the second ball and
handed 1t to Bacon on first base.
Lamer singled but Joe Wilhoit took
three large wads out of the atmos-
phere. Andreas placed his anatomy
behind the big stick and lifted the
sphere to center and hustled to third,
scoring Lamer.
Campbell lined a pretty one to Roth.

drop q cake of soap. Andreas came
home while Ross was communing
with himself.
In the first of the third inning the
black and gold lads used the timber
with a vengeance. Spalding got life
at first on Lamer's error.
Bacon was the next Highland Parker
up but went back to the bench because
his beautiful little pop, fly refused to
go past Fitzwiliams. Thatcher singled.
bringing Spalding over the tin. When
the Catholic students were called to
the bat in the third they took fall
out of Merrill by running around the
circuit twice. Tally sent the horse
hide to the fence and reached third.
Lamer singled and Wilhoit walked.
Lamer was nabbed at second leaving
Wilhot on first and Tally on third.
Andreas was up and arrived safely,
filling the bases. Campbell singled and
WllnOlI SpIheu lhS Ihi' Hi'N"N'S
singled, giving the scorers a chance to
tally one more run to Andreas' credit.
The fourth inning was the banner
round and caused the st. Vincent
colts much worry and trouble. Three
Occidental men were holding down
bags and Clever held the club at the
rubber.
Fitzwillams pulled Haggertys
bunch out of the dreadful hole nicely
by tanning Clever and pensioning
Merrill at the terminus. Spaulding
was caught mapping off first and
put an end to the suspense.
The fifth was devoid of anything
startling, but in the first of the sixth
spasm Occidental crossed the plate the
second and last time. Mcknight sim
gled and Bird hammered the small
sphere through the NIT of the man on
third. Clever famed and Spalding
tried to emphasize his side of the ques-

BOY TRIES TO DIE.

gained consciousness.
He is still in a critical condition.

BILE to survive
Has Spell of sickness.
Prentice has offered no explanation
as yet for his desire to destroy him
self. refusing to enlighten his parents
Il am al Il loss to account for the act
unless it was prompted by disappOint-
ment that the boy suffered when he
was not taken back in his position
with the United States Express com
pany, after a spell Of sickness" said
the father Of Prentice this morning
No one knowing his cheerful dis
position would suspect him of a desire
TO end his life. To me it seemed like
the act Of an impulsive boy. He had
spoken in the last week of his failure
TO get his place back When he was
taken sick another boy was given the
position. but Prentice understood that
he was to be taken on when he was
able to work again. Being out of en-
ployment probably preyed on his
mind. although il should not. as there
was no one rushing him to get to work.
Well Treated at Home.
The story that has been started
from some source unknown 70 me that
Prentice had had a falling out with
his parents is absolutely without fOun-
dalton. The boy has d good home
and has always been treated with par
entail affection"

Formal announcement OF his candi-
dacy for mayor as an Independent was

says that the vote he received two
years ago encourages him in the be-
lief that the same people would like to
support him again, and that he is go
ing to live in the hope until the bal
lots are counted that there are enough
who have had a change of heart polit-
ically in the intervening period to land
him in the mayOral chair, for George
does not disguise the fact that he would
sooner be the head of the city than
representative in the legislature, al
though he is still fighting to hold his
seat down at Springfield. Here is his
announcement:
