Menchener. He is a natural ball-player,
much after the style of Hans Wagner.
His friends. among whom are some of
the best critics in the country, say he
will be in the big show in two years.
He will play second base for the Lynn
team, and with q season or two in class
b ball yards, he will develop enough
finish to make himself famous.
The success of John Miller, the East
Newark boy, who made such a grand
showing with Easton and McKeesport,
and who hit over 300 in both leagues, has
spurred Menchener on to go out into
league company. Then, too, the quick
development of Zimmerman, another
local boy, who will be with Jersey City
next year, also had its effect on Mench-
ener.
If those two local players can shine,
Menchener's friends told him 1t ought
to be easy sailing for him.
Menchener started playing ball at Camden
Street School. Later be Joined the Manhat-
tan Athletic Club, easily ranking as the
best hitter In the club. Under Adam Roth
fuss, then manager of the 1rvington A. c.,
Mehchener first showed the calibre which
made him the star player of the local lots.
He played two seasons with the Lincolns,
and last year he was with the champion
Ironsides, of the City League, leading that
band of clubs In batting.

BROWNS BUY LOU
CRIGER FROM BOSTON.

The biggest deal Of the baseball meeting
so far was put through last night when
Jimmy McAleer, of the st. Louis Browns,
and John I. Taylor, of the Boston Anheri-
cans, put through a trade whereby the St
Louis team gets the veteran catcher Lou
Crlger In exchange for Catcher Spencer and
5000 in cash.
Criger has been Cy Young's catcher for
thirteen years, and the only poor year the
veteran twirler ever had was tive years ago,
when Criger was sick most of the season.
The trading OF Criger marks the end of one
of the most famous batteries the game has
ever known, as this will be Young's, last
season in baseball.
Criger Is not a stranger in St. Louis. hav-
Ing played there with Young on the Ma

That Princeton's hockey team will
make a strong bid for the In~tercollegi-
ate nonors this year is more evident as

cent team at st. Nicholas rink in New

week ago the same teams met and the
Tigers gathered in the game by the
score of 3 to 2.
Tho collegians' passing and shooting was
better than that of their more ex-
perienced rivals, and It was due to this
that they were enabled to secure a shut
out victory. Peacock's goal tending was
one Of the conspicuous features OF tho
game, while Captain Coxe's activity ms
rover aided his team materially. In the
second half the playing of both tennis was
somewhat rough. the exhibitions Of ground
and lofty tumblins being frequent. Upon
one occasion Hawley was thrown rather
heavily against the sides of the ring. but
he kept on playing. Russell was cut on the
eye in a collision, while shortly before the
close of the game crush was checked and
thrown hard, and It was some time before
he could resume play. The lineup:
