1t is rather a contrast to note the diff
ference In the throwing of a college
catcher in pra ctice and when I'm regular
game In almost every contest between
colleges the catchers in the practice are
driving the ball to the different bases on
a line and with almost absolute accu-
racy, but as soon as the game starts
they seldom make a creditabie throw.
Their work In the regular game, as soon
as men get on the bases, is very poor
generally. They seem unable to feel sure
Of themselves AS in the practice and con-
sequentiy get the ball down to second In
a position from which 1t Is almost impes-
sible to touch the runner. The throw is
generally wild or else 1t never reaches
the bag at all. the man who was there
to receive 1T being lucky to stop the ball.
Just why this difference is. is hard to
tell. The catcherS certainly have the
arms to get the ball to the bags and why
they cannot do 1t as well at one time as
another is question hard to solve.
1t may be because they are overanxlous
and fail to show at their best. Some OF
them, OF course. as soon as man gets on
first. think that they can carry the pail 10
the bag before the other fellow gets there
and never throw until after they nave
taken three or four steps out into the
diamond. Another reason is that the
pitchers do not attempt to hold men on
the bases as they should. The majority
Of college pitchers give base runners a
big led off the bag, and the runner Is half
way down before the catcher gets the
ball. To those who do not know, the
catcher gets the blame for the poor work
in allowing an easy steal when IN reality
IL was the fault Of the man on the mound.

meeting may have some connection with
the one to be held by the federation this
coming Friday, and certainly there will
be discussed methods by which it is
hoped that the breach opening in ath-
letic circles In this section may be closed
All matters pertaining to the situation
will be taken up. =
There was one feature to the game in
which Yale met Penn yesterday at Amer
lean League Park-that was the wonder
full hitting of Pumpeily, the outfielder
who made q great reputation by saving
Yale from defeat In foot ball last fall al
drop kick over the bars from con.
siderable distance. Pumpeliy connected
with the ball four successive times for
clean hits. and there was nothing fiuky
about the wallops, either. Every time
he landed on the ball it went of his ba,
like a shot.
Pennsylvania although 1t made five
errors and did not outhit the Yale men,
won the game. Errors on the part of
the Yale shortstop were in the main
shortfielder making three costly mis-
plays. Yale had little trouble stealing
bases on the Pennsylvania cNcher. six
being garnered by the Dark Blue play
ers.
Georgetown failed to secure victory
out Of its second meeting with Prince
ton. The Blue and Gray did not have
effective pitching, and the batters were
not able TO connect With~the delivery
Of Wood. who did the hurting for the
Tigers. Kelly gave seven bases on
balls. and these with four errors made
by the fielders enabled Princeton to
roll up seven runs. The local team
could not connect with the pitching
Of Wood at any time, and consequent
ly did not manage to get a run across
the plate.
A play by Fury was the most bril-
liant bit of work that has been seen
on the hilltop in many a day. A line
drive was hit to right field and the
high wind caused it to take a sudden
curve. 1t was too late for Fury to get
in front Of the ball. and he threw him
self down fiat on his side and got the
ball about two or three inches off the
ground. 1t was an exceptional play
and deserved the round Of applause it
received. Fury also led his team in
hitting. being the only man in the line
UP to connect with the ball for more
than one safety.

which tourists develop, they stopped
her, and, not knowing that she was
