Billikens Play Snappily

The Billikens, displaying as much pepper and dash as leaders of the league, had played a remarkable game. In the third inning the one run, which seemed such a wonderful handicap to the Barons, occurred. Hollander was walked and presented with an advance to second on a wild pitch. Baker singled to right field. Knisely fumbled the ball in an effort to check Holland CT at third and allowed the shortstop the lone run without a race.
 Luck broke in favor of Montgomery vntil the ninth In the first five in- nings three double plays halted every Baron advance, due to faulty base rum ming by Birmingham and magnificent fielding on the part of the Billikens. In the first inning Parker robbed Mar can of a triple by fast running catch.
 In the following inning, line drive to Baker resulted in a double play Tn the third, Baker effected one of the most sensational leaping catches witnessed in many days at Redwood when he bagged Ellam's liner, following a juggled one- handed stab.
 Until the ninth, the BillilSen outplayed the Barons. Johnson pitched consistent ly, but was hit safely more frequently than Day. The recruit pitcher twirled deliberately and in five innings pulled out of each difficulty. The game was fought with tiring. calculating tactics. Donanue consulted with the youngster at every opportunity. The Billiken infield check ed play to encourage him. Despite the fact that only three runs were counted, more than two hours were dissipated by nine innings play
 Knisey starred with the willow, driv- ing out four hits in as many trials-a triple double, single and an infield hit. Baker and Daley of the Billikens secured three and two wallops, respectively

the blows he landed were left jabs
which had little steam behind them
and were OF a nature to be more tan
talizing than calculated TO infiict ser

Shugrue seemed to realize that the
moment OF his career had arrived. He

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 3.-The for

ization which proposes eventually to

the managers of the Cornell, Harvard,
Princeton, Yale, Navy and Columbia

Fight With Peanuts.

Peanuts Schieberl, fast Rock Island
battler, who is at present visiting with
his parents in this city, last even(
received a telegram from his former
manager, H. c. Peters, stating that
Knockout Mars of Cincinnati wanted
to meet him in a return bout on Dec.
IL. AS Peanuts has dropped Peters
as manager, the bout will not be ar
ranged by the latter. and the scrapper
himself telegraphed TO Cincinnati to
inquire what club wanted the fight
staged.
Peanuts met Mars about year ago,
and the latter was given slight shade
by his home paper in Cincinnati, but
the majority of those present agreed
that Schieberl outfought him. Should
the match be arranged the boys wiz
enter the ring at 124 pounds. MARI
is one of the fastest featherweights
in the country, and Peanuts is conf
dent that he can beat him decisively
in return bout.
