of scouts attacked and the remainder de-
Tended. When a scout was hit by a to-
mato he was declared KILLED by the

ing effect of the tomatoes made the scene
very realistic. Most of the boys were in
their bathing suits and did not mind in

HOLY CROSS TEAM
Connie Mack on Hand to
Watch the Work of
Some Players.

Providence, r. l.. May 1.-The Brown
University baseball team returned to
form to-day and defeated Holy Cross
by a score Of to 2.
Connie Mack, of the Athletics, was
an interested spectator. He came here
to see Darlington. the Brown third
baseman, who is being sought by the
Pirates; Crowell, the Brown pitcher,
and Harry Carroll, a local catcher, who
is with the Holy Cross team.
The wildness OF Wallace, the Holy
Cross pitcher. was one reason for the
defeat Of the Worcester men. He
gave nine bases on balls and hit 3
batsman. What few hits Brown gar
nered were sandwched in With the
free transportations and counted in
the run getting
Crowell pitched a fine game for the
home team. The nine hits he allowed
were scattered. He had perfect con-
troll, and did not issue a pass.
The contest was devoid of much
spectacular fielding Holy Cross reeled
off a pair of double plays and Brown
shot through one.
The score follows:

Quaker Eight Defeats
Navy in Slow Race

but through the fact that little Fos-
ter, the Quaker coxswain. who had
been suffering from appendicitis, which
attacked him in acute form just as
he was leaving Philadelphia for An
napolis, was in his accustomed place
in the Penn shell.
The Quaker steersman slept last
night with an ice pack for bed fellow,
and this morning he declared himself
ready to steer his mates to victory.
The big race was rowed last, and,
like the other races, was pulled down
the river to the railroad bridge on the
inside course. When the referee sent
the crews away Pennsylvania caught
the water steadily and then settled
down to SO, going from that to 81 about
mid-course On the other hand, the
sailors got away at 40 strokes minute
and dropped TO SO only once, pulling 80
for most Of the distance.
The race was stiff one from start
to finish, the sailors rowing worthy
opponents until the halfway mark was
reached. Here, however, it became evil
dent that the higher stroke they were
using was too much for them, and they
gradually dropped behind, Pennsylvania
winning by three lengths.
