VI considerable interest.
On Friday the ''Best Looking
Bachelors in Princeton'' and the
Pride of the Newly Weds" crossed
bats in a hot and exciting contest.
Both teams were made up of former
big league and association players,
all of whom we are we'll acquainted
with as they have been in our city for
some time past. Some of the old
heads were a little out of form and the
weather was rather bad, so they did
not display as fast an article of ball
as was expected.
The line up was not just what was
expected as some of the fast ones did
not show up in time to be put in the
game. It is said that "Bill Clark"
started for the grounds but met his
friend "Rube Waddell" and was led
off fishing by the big sportsman.
"Tannihill" then placed himself on
first and aside from rousing the ire of
big "Hans Wagner" held the position
down in fine shape.
ANDY Oyler" on short played his
usual star game, but did not get any
chances. "Bresnahan," who played
out of his regular place the entire
game, made an excellent showing and
proved that he is as good in other
places as he is behind the bat. He
started the game at third~but ED
Walsh" was forced to retire early in
the game and "Bresnahan" went to
the rubber. His pitching was the
feature from then on and to that and
the hitting of ''Wild Bill Donovan"
the victory is attributed. "Johnny
Evers' on second played a star game,
catching everything within a mile of
him. "Bill Lange." "Armbuster"
and :'Big Stick Freeman" all did
good work in the field and did fair
with the stick, but they did not seem
to have their old-time eyes for the
ball and fell short of their former
pace.
For the Bachelors "Ty Cobb"
played great game in the field but
ersaeeount of bad leg that he re-
ceived few weeks ago in colliding
with Bresnahan, was forced to re-
tire early and one of the subs was put
in his place. ''Hal Chase" was also
playing out of his position, covering
the left garden during the first part of
the game and third the latter part.
He also did some great work with the
bat. "Bill Devlin" held down third
the first part of the contest, then took
"Chase's' place in the left garden.
The main feature of his playing was
his base running and he surely did
make 60 of it when once started from
the initial sack. One of the most re-
markable things of the game was the
pitching of ICY Young" All won
dered how he could stay in barber
shop as long as he has and then get
out and make the showing that he did.
"Cy" is getting old, we all see that,
and he is also losing his hair, so no
more does the nice fluffy stuff get in
his eyes as of old, but he still says he
has the goods and that it was an off
day for him, but he will show them
next time they face him that he can
still throw the sphere. Jimmy
Block" caught his usual steady game
but for some reason his arm was out
and he could not find second at all.
He, however, did some good sticking.
"Hans Wagner" was there all the time
taking everything that came his way
and aside from a bad throw to first
was in old-time form. He was little
light with the bat, but no doubt was
saving for pinch which failed to
come up. ''Tip O'Neill" was at the
game and went around the bases sew
eral times in rather remarkable time.
"Napoleon Lajoie" was on second
and was there to everything that came,
but when. "Cy" got tired he called the
heady boy to the box and surprised
some of those who thought he didn't
have anything. He pitched fine ball,
although little wild at times, but we
presume from want of practice. It is
that he will assist ICY" in
the next event. Unlike Welday"
played great game at first, and from
report will play that sack with some
big league team the coming year.
The Newly Weds won the game in a
score of II to ID and the two teams ex-
pect to give another exhibition for the
benefit of Soy" on Sunday.
