Vaughn, who for two seasons played
second base for the Princeton team
and was elected captain of the 1909
team, but was not allowed to play be-
cause of faculty restrictions, mas been
signed by the New York American
league club at a salary said to be the
largest ever paid to a college player.
He will join the team on June Is. Man.
ager Stallings has beaten several ma
jor league clubs in getting this player,
who was one of the greatest 1elders
and hitters who ever wore the orange
and black. The contract he signed last
week calls for $500 month, or $4,000
a season. Detroit was hot after
Vaughn, and President Navin recently
came here and tried to get him.

and heady player. He is a left-handed
batter, and hit over the 400 mark dur
ing his college career.

to the good, having the dry goods men
10 to 5. but the P. & M. fellows wiped
off their batting eye in the ninth, tieing
the score and then winning out in the
tenth. Pitcher Bendett for the Mohi-
cans moved the p. 81 M. crowd down
in good shape at first, tanning Is, but
they reached him at last, and Fields
finished up the game, with Harrington
behind the bat. The winners also used
two pitchers, Goodrow for three in
nings and Dougherty for the rest.
Blackburn caught. Next Sunday the
Mohicans play in New London against

I'VE would say that the windham

were defeated by the Kickers by the
score of IL to H. Cooleys Portelance

of the crowd to do the umpiring, and
he gave the worst exhibition of umpir-
ing a ball game that has been seen on
the local grounds in many years. Not
only the spectators, but the Kickers
themselves said he was rank The
Scalpers had the game up to the last
half of the ninth, IL to g. when Uum
pire Portelance started his skinning.
All the Kickers had to do was to stand
up to the plate, and strike after strike
were called balls until the Kickers
overlook the Scalpers' lead and won
out by the score of II to IL. Manager
Brunberg would like to get a return
game with the Kickers on next Satur-
day or the following Saturday.

covered with ice, and the gale blew the

that they might proceed, unmolested by
the government. to absorb the Tennessee
