TIGERS ROMP AWAY WITH
GAME AT PETERSBURG

Harry Smith got on the job and
found Setback pretty much all in.
Setback believes that he has a touch
of typhoid fever, and will probably be
sent home today If his condition
grows worse. 1t was Happy" Jack
Campbell, the clubs trainer, who
noted Schacks condition. Campbell
did all he could for the twirler, and
believes that Setback will be o. X.

Polly Kunkle practically won his
season ticket with the Newark team
after yesterdays game. Kunlle,
working under difficulties, won his
game in great style. The base run
ming of the Bengal tribe, coupled with
the timely raps of Harry Swacina,
also figure prominently.
The swatting "Swots' swatted in
three of the seven runs, every one
of his bingles being clean-cut drives
Collins only managed to pilfer three
bags, which was considered par eX-
treme on the sandy soft diamond.

three Dagger, the longest drive of the

Brenagan's drive off the grass blades
for nifty catch.
In the eighth inning Bert Tooley
rams back of second base and pulled
down a ground scorcher with his
gloyed hand. He was in an awkward
position, but he managed to get his
man at first base by great throw.
The Bengals will leave here right
after today's game for Richmond,
where they will engage in two Garles
with the Southern Capital City team.
Manager Smith is pulling hard to
win all of the games on the Southern
trip. The Tiger leader worked in yes
terday's contest and tried hard to dig
out a home run without success. In
order to get a home run on the
Petersburg grounds it is necessary to
drive the ball over the fence, the
ground being anything but fast. The
ball collects a good part of the sand,
making it hard for the pitcher to
throw a curved ball. This is what
handicapped Kunkle quite bit.

PRAISES
HONESTY OF BASEBALL

CHICAGO, April 10-vice- President
Thomas r. Marshall praises the hon.
esty of organized baseball in a letter
received yesterday by B. B. Johnson,
president of the American League.
After acknowledging the receipt of
an engraved annual pass, the VICE
president says:
II am deeply interested in baseball
because 1t is a fascinating game, be-
cause ii is the great American sport
and because it sets an example to the
business and professional men OF
America, which is as valuable as the
preachments of politicians, namely.
that no success is lasting or perma-
nently valuable which does not result
from playing the game on the square.
The dirt accumulated on the baseball
diamond is clean. A Democrat can
not say that for all other diamonds
in America

PRINCETON WINS
A SWATFEST, 1915

PRINCETON, N. j., April 10.-Al-
though breaking in two green pitch
ers to varsity baseball, Princeton
took 10 OF victory over the Johns
Hopkins University nine.
The batting of the Princeton team
was the liveliest feature of the game,
which wds marred by frequent mis-
cues on each side and none too con-
sistent pitching. A long low drive
close to the left field foul line in the
seventh inning by Rhoads supplied
the greatest excitement of the game
by scoring the first home run of the
season on University Field and send
ing three men across the plate for
Princeton.

floods and recent rains, were still too
wet for play.

giles with West in both erganiza-
tions as usual on opening days. In
the National League Brooklyn is at

right is not denied a man now, but

discharge the. umpire.
"If the public or all of the big
league players could see all the re-
ports of cases of misconduct 1t

the offender. Nine-tenths of these
cases are of players using imprint
