a good break in the fourth inning.
lPendleton slashed out a triple. but
he couldn't make the plate. He was
nailed between the bases on
Rhoadess infield hit, and both of
them were put out, Pendleton at the
lplate and Rhoades trying to make
third base, while Pendleton was being
run down.

In playing the game this after
noon Yale is being praised on all
sides. She might have claimed the
championship with one victory and a
tie game, but 1t wouldn't be the best
sportsmanship in the world and 1t
wouldn't have been like Yale. On the
decision to play the string out Yale
has a good chance to be beaten. If
she is beaten today she will more

| Chris Won der Abe has been laid at
rest. Although not provided with
many of the worlds comforts in his
last days. he was buried surrounded
by the big men of baseball, who had
known him in his prosperous days.
1t was kind and honorable of them to
treat old Chris so. He was fine old
character and he gave more to base
ball than baseball ever gave to him.
He became rich, for a minute, and
| famous, for all time through the
sport, but it finally left him high and
| dry in the days he most needed the
good things of life. His funeral yes
terday at ST. Louis was attended by
old friends who had known him in
his better days. Among the pail
bears, for instance, were Ban john
son; Charley Comiskey, who used to
manage for Won der Abe, and who is
quoted as the originator of many of
the jokes played on Chris; c. P.
Sphinx, James Davis, Ted Sullivan,
William Gleason, Jack Gleason and
George McGinnis. The peculiar old
Dutchman IS dead, but Won der Abe
and his droll sayings will live for
ever.
over the remains of Chris Won der
Abe a beautiful sermon was preached
by the Rev. Frederick H. Craft, pas
tor of the Bethany Evangelical
Church. The preacher compared true
Christian life to a run of the bah
player, bringing out prominently the
much discussed Merkle play-"Touch-
ing second
First base is enlightenment" the
Rev. Craft said. Second base is
repentance; third, faith, and home
plate the heavenly goal. Don't fail
to touch second base, for it leads you
onward to third. All of us finally
reach the home plate, though some
may be called out when they slide to
eternal home

| 1t is very natural that the national

pion of his own State, but such is not
always the case. In fact, last year,
when Jerome D. Travers was playing
the most brilliant golf, he won the
national, but he couldn't win the
State title with all his might and
skill However, Jerry" has both
titles now-the State and the national
He captured the New Jersey event on
Saturday defeating Oswald Kirkby,
who annexed the honors last year.
The match, part of which was played
in driving rainstorm, was a peculiar
one, in that Kirlby surely displayed
the better form in the early round.
But Travers, always determined and
never beaten, got to himself as the
finish drew near and overcame his
disadvantage. At the end it was up
and 1 to play, with Jerry rather
tickled over his victory KirlSby is
very strong player and he has
been fairly successful against
