the energy When 1 came to the valley

pies that ever grew. In fact finer ap-
pies than were produced in the Yakima

on record as saying that we are capa-

SO difficult to handle that the play

There are some players" he says,
|'who always are sure to hit the bali
when men are on bases and frequently
win games by so doing; yet they get no
credit for what they have accom-

Pulliam thinks there should be a

EASTERN COLLEGES
IN BIG ALLIANCE.

NEW YORK, Dec. ia triple foot
ball alliances among Yale, Harvard and
Princeton is the latest thing in the
making of the schedule of games for
the next season.
A deal of this kind has been rumored
for some time and at the recent Har-
ward Yale game representatives of all
three colleges got together and talked
the matter over Yaie already plays
Harvard and Princeton, SO it only re-
mains for Princeton and Harvard to
schedule a game and the arrangement
is completed
According to one who is on the inside
the deal has been practically made.
Formal papers will be signed soon.
when the dates of the games will be
fixed. Princeton and Harvard have not
played each other since 1896.
1t was suggested at the conference
that the deal be made four-cornered,
which would take in Pennsylvania.
This was agreeable on the whole. but
the prejudice of some of the influential
Princeton graduates will have to be
overcome before the scheme can be put
through.
