CLIP PRINCETON TIGERS
Tommy Cantwell a Big Puzzle to the
Visitors, While Cunningham Is
Hit Hard by the Locals,

Cantwelrs superb pitching and the stick
work of the Georgetown base ball team
was too much for the Princeton Tigers
yesterday afternoon on Georgetown Field,
the final score being s to 3.
Logan Cunningham, the local high
school star, was on the rubber Tor
Princeton and his curves were sWatted
to all corners of the field by the Blue
and Gray boys. Cartweli, on the ot.,sr
hand, was in fine FORM and up until the
final inning, when the atmosphere became
cold ne had allowed but one hit.
The Princeton boys came to Washington
with the determination to take fall out
of the local team. The followers of the
Tigers were as confident as the players
that they would turn the trick, but the
local team was in great form, ana II
would have had to be considerably
stronger team than Princeton 10 down
Georgetown yesterday.
In spite of the cool weather large
crowd was on hand. The followers Of
Princeton occupied a large portion OF the
grandStand and also the east stand ana
urged on their favorites with their yeiis,
but the Blue and Gray hackers In the
north stand jeered them throughout the
contest, as everything was Georgetown :.
Tommy on His Job.
The work Of Cantwell was far above
what he has shown this season and dem
onstrates that the big twirler has about
struck his true form. Only three men
reached first base in eight innings, two
on errors and the other on a. scratch SIN
gle to right field. In that time he Tanned
ne batters and did not give a base on
balls. In fact, he has not given a free
pass in the past three games ne mas
worked. -
In the fnal round he let down in his
work because of the cold, and as re-
suit the Tigers secured four hits. one
of which was home run by Sides. which
he put over Simon's head. In the bat
ting line every player got a hit or more.

Donald and Sitterding each got two hits,
Mcdonald getting double and Sttterding
a triple Mayock connected for one hft,
which was good for three sacks.
Reed did the best work for the visitors
when he secured two hits. Cunningham
was saved from the Virginia game for
the purpose of taking fall out or the
locals, but he was not up to the occasion
and helped the Georgetown boys fatten
their batting averages.
Duffy Headed OF Runners.
Duffy, at the receiving end for George

threw several runners out at second

OF course this is ali subject to a change
by Manager Cantillon. Mcbride may he
too Ill to play, which will bring Unglaub
into the game. or Milan's condition may
not suit the Nationals boss and another
player be assigned to the center garden.
Milan said last evening that he would be
able to play, and as center field is his
regular position a substitute will hardly
be as satisfactory as the Tennessee lad.
If Manager Stallings should send in
lefthander to do the pitching there will
be another shift, which will probably
carry both Tnglaub and Blankenship into
the fray. Mike Kaloe says that Blank"
has been hitting the ball right on the
nose all through the practice games, and
Manager Cantillon will hardly keep
slugger on the bench with weak hitter
In the game.
Walter johnson was greatly improved
young man last night, but it will never
do to take chances OF njuring him perma-
nently by working him Monday. Re-
ports from Columbus say that Mcbride
also has improved, and as his Illness was
not as serious as that of Johnsons he

that everything will be taken care of
in that line In an impartial manner.

THE DARK BLUE
First Boat Race Between the
Two Colleges in Twenty
Years.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April lo.-1n the
first boat race between the two universi-
ties in twenty years the University of
Pennsylvania eight-oared crew defeated
Yale this afternoon by two lengths over
the one-and-one-half mile course on the
Schuylkill river. The crews rowed against
a three-quarters head wind the entire dis
tance, and under these circumstances the
time of minutes and = seconds was very
good. Yale reversed matters In the pre-
l.minary race for the second eight. the

Juniors by one aud one-fourth lengths in

Yale for the first time used an English
shell and. English oars. Never in the
history of rowing on the Schuyikiil has a
crowd of such magnitude or collegiate
affiliations witnessed a boat race here
Not only was there an unusually large
contingent of Yale and Pennsylvania men
from this city, but hundreds of Yale and
Pennsylvania graduates from New York
and other cities came to soc the contest
Rowing authorities from other univers,-
among these visitors being James Wray.
the award coach. and James Rice of
Columbia. Fully 1900 persons lined the
banks of the river or followed the races
in automobiles, carriages or on horse
back.
The race left no doubt about the SUI
periorty Of the Pennsylvania eight. Both
Julian T. Curt.ss, the chairman OF Yale 5
advisory rowing committee, ana Coach
John Kennedy declared empbatically
that the better crew had won. Capt.
Howe of Yale said his crew had rowci
its best and had been beaten fairy.
Delayed on Account of Wind.
The race for the varsity cights was
last on the program. and the start was
DELAYED until after . o'clock to let the
wind calm down \ strong southwest
wind blew all morning and showed little
disposition to stop as the crews padded
up to the starting point. The water was
rough during the race between the sec
ond eights. but had grown a little smooth

Tremendous Excitement.

There was tremendous excitement on
the banks during this race. Yale was a
strong !; to favorite before the contest
started. When the crews passed under
the bridge at the end of the first half
mile and it was seen that Pennsylvania
was leading a great cheer went up. which
increa sed in volume as the eights neared
the great throng at the finish. Then as
the Quakers made their final squirt and
won so handily the Pennsylvania cheers
were echoed back and forth across the
river.
Yale won the race for second elghts al
most as handily as Pennsylvanfa did the
varsity struggle The Yale juniors as
sumed command of the situation almost
at the start and foot by foot increased
their lead over the Quaker youngsters.
The PennSylvanian made a strong Ell
fort to overtake them in the last nan mile
and did hold Yale even for the distance.
but Yale crossed the line with a quarter
of a length of open water between the
shells.
There was practically no advantage be-
tween the two courses. In the varsity
race Yale had the west bank. which was
supposed to he the better lane on account
OF the direction of the wind. But in the
race for the second eightS PENNSYLVANIA
crew with the supposedly poorer course
won. so that the results proved i3 each
instance that the bettre crew had won.
Entertain Yale Rowers.
After the race the two crews were the
guests of the University of PENNSYLVANIA
rowing committee at Il dinner given at
the Rittenhouse Club Later in the even
ing the oarsmen occupied boxes AT one of
the local theatcrs. Nothing III the history
of sports between the two universities
has 1ended To cement the friendly feel
ings of Yale and Pennsylvania SO much
as these races. For the last ten days the
Yale eight has been training here as the
guests OF Pennsylvania. While nothing
official was said tonight, Julian Curtiss
