Evers and Murphy are having quite
time keeping their team before the
public Only yesterday Murphy de-
clared that the newspapers were re-
sponsible for the Cubs losing val
liable pitcher. Too much publicity.
he said, spoiled the deal. Some day.
maybe, Mr.. Murphy and the other
arrogant and impossible baseball
magnates will be made to realize the
Importance of the press. If the news
papers curtailed the amount of space
devoted to baseball to the mere re-
suits of the contests, the attendance
at the games would be SO small that
there would be no use for a high
priced man like Murphy at the head
of club. OF all sports baseball gets
the most for nothing, with automobil-
ing running a gigantic second But
back to the bold charges of Evers
against Pitcher Camnitz. The accu-
sation is made that the twirler de-
liberately hit Cheney and Archer and
tried to locate Zimmerman. AS no.
body in an official capacity is pay
ing any attention to Evers's charges.
Johnny may get the necessary pub
licity without mourning even a CALI

If the unexpected can be assured in
any one thing it is baseball. 1t hap
pened to Yale yesterday, when Will
Jams, playing her head off, won from
the Ellis after belated rally by the
score of to 0. And all this came
about after Yale had won seventeen
straight games and had created the
impression that she was positively
invincible. Yet Williams, with no
particular license to do so, comes
along and gums the cards" Now
the Princeton dopesters and the Har-
ward dopesters will take up a new
brand and endeavor to show, no
doubt, where the Tigers and the
Crimson do fit in as possibilities.

The one defeat of the Ellis does not
mean anything, of course, but it
might take some of the cocksureness
! out of their system and bring about
a slump. 1t has been very noticea-
BILE that Yale, no matter how we'll she
has played up to the Princeton SERIES
has generally been tanned somewhat
in the games with the Tigers. Just
when Princeton has seemed the cas-
\ -
up with a short, quick check 1t is,
of course, difficult to put any conf
dence whatever in the Tigers. They
have not done a thing this season
that would make even the college
president admire their efforts. They
have won and have been beaten, but
their play in either case has not been
attractive. The one defeat of the
Ellis may make a difference with the
Tigers 1t will not do Yale any
has been going along at concert pitch
with nothing to bother the boys. Now
they will begin to stew and worry
as college boys stew and worry-and
it is just as likely as not a slump
will follow.
Now is the time for Princeton to
get down to business-she must get
on the job instanter, as it were. High
spirits and an aggressive front are
going to count lot, and the time for

not take her upset to heart at all
and she may go right on winning as
of yore, but If the usual happens she
will feel it keenly and not stand UT

Yale's next game will be watched

, The name of the famous racehorse
Proctor Knott, winner of the first
, Futurity, is brought to mind through
Q the death in Louisville yesterday OF
John Rodegap, who trained the
equine king. Rodegap was one OF
j the best known and perhaps the
: Oldest trainer connected with the
: American turf. In the early days OF
racing his fame was widespread and
the performances of Proctor Knott
added to his reputation. He was g
