1t is reported that Jim Rice. coach of

summer Such a plan has not yet been

Yale and Princeton engaged in sensa-
tional contest yesterday, 1t being one Of
the best college ball games of the year.
Only one run was scored. that being put
across by the Tigers in the fourth.
Brilliant pitching was the great factor
in the play of each club. Deyo of Prince
ton had slight margin on Way Of Yale.
though the difference in the work OF the
two men was very slight. Hanes. who
played right field for Yale, was the only
member of that nine who could fathom
the delivery Of Deyo. Ya.e got total
of three hits of the Princeton man, and
Hanes made them all. Princeton was
able to connect with Ways offerings for
only four safeties Deyo struch out five
and Way, two.
Blossom and Cornish at short and
second. respectively. for Yale, did the
best fielding accomplished by the mem
bers of that nine; Gill at third and Law
at short were the mainstays Of Prince
ton in that respect.
Fights are to meet Saturday afternoon in
several trial races. The coaches of the
two crews expect their charges to bene-
fit materially by going into real COM
petition against each other.

what the fans want to know is what was
the matter with the old style?
Artie Hoffman has recovered s2,a!4i7

Vice-President's Libel Suit. (Washington Letter to Milwaukee
 Journal)

JOurna1D
 Vice-President Marshall and Judge J. B. Dodge of Milwaukee had a pleasant visit here Thursday. When the vice-president learned that Judge Dodge was identified with the Jour nal, he said, reminiscently: I ran a newspaper for four weeks. I was Is years old. It was at Wabash college. I had three fights in that brief editorial experience and was sued for $20,O0O for libel. I had three college mates as associates in the en- terprise." The vice-president paused with a grim smile: 'tIt was the col lege paper.'
 Well, how about the libel suit ?" Well, we won,'' said he, but we had a good lawyer, Benjamin Harrison, afterward president of the United States. As soon as We were sued I took the college paper containing the article to General Harrison. He read it and appeared to be greatly amused. asked him if he thought it was libelous. He looked at me with an amused expression on his face for a moment, and then re- marked: Young man, if I wanted to have a man libeled would hire you to do the job, feeling assured that 1t would be a complete one.'
 T was scared said the vice-pres- ident, mot because expected to have to pay $2o. because I could not have paid judgment for twenty cents, but General Harrison asked me if I thought we could prove the al- legations. The strange thing about it is We did prove them at trial. Gen. eral Harrison refused to take any fee from us. but I remember that he told us the experience ought to serve us as a lesson. There are a great many things that happen in life and can be proved, but it is just as well not to publish them,' said General Harrison

of household adornment, no matter how heartbreaking." This means. we assume, that the managers would gladly welcome framed notices, scroll-saw brackets, crocheted slipper holders, antimacassars, and, most horrible of all, the chromos of shud- dering memory.
 The artistic crimes of the decades immediately following the Civil war were legion, and it ought not to be difficult to provide an exhibition that would make the chamber of horrors of the old Eden Musee seem like Fl pleasant place of resort on a rainy afternoon. But while gloating over the bad taste of that period and jeering at the damning evidence heaped up against its perpetrators, the fact should be borne in mind that wax flowers, garish vases and lurid plush frames were all symptoms of a craving for artistic expression.
 Their very extravaganza of form and color led to a reaction that hast ened the arrival of the present saner era. The severe simplicity of art in our day might not have been accepted with such appreciation if it were not for the recollection of past excesses. The art of the '70s was very primi- tive, it was indefensible, it would not be tolerated now, but it was the out ward expression of an artistic in. stinct. and as soon as it was directed into the proper channels it developed rapidly into forms that we fatter ourselves are worthy of our civiliza- ton. Whatever may be said agah4St the artistic sins of our grandparents.s they served purpose They have been powerful factor in reconciling us to arts and crafts and mission styles and other things that might. but for the memory of the past, have been rejected as too rigid, exacting and uncomfortable for human use.

Lynchings i'm 1913.
(The Survey.)

Fffty-two persons, fifty-one colored and one white. were put to death by mobs in this country in the year that has just passed. This is twelve fewer than the number lynched in 1912. It is the smallest number of lynchings in one year since records have been kept.
 Not all of these lynchings were merely "a kind of wild justice" Twen- ty-one of the persons killed were &C., cused only; there had been no con- viction, no weighing of evidence. Several innocent persons were put to death. In Greenville, Ga. black man was lynched for a murder. An other man confessed to the crime a few days later. At Houston, Miss, a negro accused of murder was lynched. It was later discovered that he was the wrong man. Two apparently in nocent colored persons were put to death at Germantown, Ky. At Spar tanburg, s. C., the bravery of a sheriff prevented a mob from lynch ing a colored man accused of rape, who was later acquitted by a white jury.
 In only ten of last years lynchings was "the usual crime," proved or all leSeu, the crime WHICH TOuSeu the mob's frenzy.
 To call the roll of states in this matter may savor too much ot bringing indictments against whole peoples. Yet ten lynchings in a single state. Georgia's record, and nine ir another, Mississippfs, with the other l thirty-three distributed among thir- i teen states, suggest that something 1 mors than the blind forces of coin. 1 cidence was at work.
