PRINCETON AGAIN
HUMBLES PENNSY
THIS TINE, 8 TO |

PRINCETON, May 21.-Princeton
again defeated the University of Penn
sylvania team yesterday afternoon on
a slippery field, 8 to l. The Tigers by
timely hitting by Vaughn and superb
fielding by Dillon and Sides pulled out
a hard-earned victory. The score stood
8 to 0 in favor of Princeton when Lon
drigan came to bat in the ninth. The
Quaker captain lined put a single past
first base, went TO second on a scratch
hit by Spring, stole third and trotted
home on Dawson's wild throw to Sides.
With none out Pauxtis walked and
Wood smashed an apparently safe hit
past second base, but Dillon made a
brilliant stop and Pauxtis was retired
at second. Porte flied out to Warwick,
and Sides made a splendid stop of
Cockran's ~grounder, retiring the side
and saving the game.
Clark, who defeated Penn before,
again proved invincible, as only three
hits We're made off his delivery, two by
Captain Londrigan and one by Smiley.

over the Athletics on Tuesday, his kick
over the traces yesterday came as a

WADDELL QUITS BROWNS;
CLUB OFF WITHOUT HIM

done for us was against Chicago In the
opening game and his last game
against the Athletics,
IF Waddell was right you know
there is no club in the country that has
a license to beat him. But he is so sell
dom right that l guess it won't hurt us
any to lose him"
When told That there was a rumor
that Waddell would join the outlaws,
McAleer said: HE can go for all l
care"
Waddell did not so out u, d the
town after his great vf8ory. He
didn't have the price to celebrate and
that is why he quit the Browns and
everything he has done up to date has
been in his sober senses.
Waddell claims that when he left st.
Louis on the present trip, President
Hedges gave him $25 and ordered Sec
rotary Rickert to let him have $50 more
when the team arrived in his city.
After his victory over the Athletics
"Rube" asked for the money, but Rick
ert referred him to McAleer, who
wouldn't give him more than $2\
After drawing a 10000 crowd, Wad-
dell felt grossly insulted on being

WILL MAKE
ROBSON FIGHT FAST,

NEW YORK, May 21.-Terry Nc
Govern Will meet another topnotch
lightweight, Spike Robson, of England,
at the National A. c. of this city next
Tuesday night. BY outpointing Young
Loughrey. of Philadelphia, h other
night, McGovern proved c~onclusively
that he has regained much of his for
mer hitting power, and is able to give
any one in his class a hard fight.
Manager Humphrey showed his
confidence in Terry in picking such a
classy man as Robson as the next OPP
ponent for the e~x-champion. Robson
has defeated Tommy Murphy twice,
Young Erne once and secured IA draw
with Abe Attell. Cans is the only n
who has beaten the little E~nglishman
on this side of the pond.
Terry likes to annihilate Britons, and
he is sure to carry the fight to Robson,
in his old rushing style. 1t promises
to be one of the most interesting bouts
seen in New York IN many a long day.

modates them all. If he doesn't cut it

note that there were some doings
among the league ball clubs yesterday.
Rochester has sold its star youngster,
Finlayson, to the Brooklyn National
League club. and gets, besides Catcher
Butler. last year with the Shelters, a
nice sum of money. Finlayson was the
kid who pitched such phenomenal ball
against the Tigers dow at Wiedenmay-
er's Park on Sunday, and then broke up
the game in the tenth session with his
w drive to left field. How Rochester
could sell this pitcher, when the rest OF
the staff looks anything but promising
at the present time is more than | can
understand. | am under the impression
that the Rochester management is after
one more big league pitcher from
Brooklyn.
so Bill I'ozer is back with the Bisons!
Wen. thai will mean so much more fun
for our Tigers when we stack up against
him. Buffalo and Baltimore have been
trying hard to land Tozer since the

only succeeded in getting him yesterday.
