CRIMSON OUTFIT
Wins FROM TIGERS
Prfnceton's Pitchers Are Hit Hard and
Timely by Harvard
Batsnsen.

New York. June 1s.--Harvard beat
Princeton at the Polo Grounds this
afternoon in a baseball game which
thoroughly disproved the libel that
Americans always are in hurry The
score was to g.: only nine innings
were played, but two hours and forty
Ave minutes was the time required
for the playing. They began at
o'clock and finished somewhere around
ligsnt-up time.
The game was more ornamental
than usefui-Harvard already having
taken the series by beating Princeton
twice--and not very ornamental.
The Crimson played good. strong
game, and exceiled In every way the
Tigers. for whom victory would
have meant honors largely empty and
hollow. The only department In
which Princeton exceiled was In slow

He wahbled and was taken out in the
sixth inning. but although he was

inexperience. than to; losing bis grip
Chaplin didn't pitch bad game by
any means Errors opened the way
to a lot OF Harvard's scoring. Either
walks or errors would put a squad OF
arterial reds on the bases. and then
along would come such shuskies ms
Frye. Gannett or Hardwick to bat
them in. Coupled with numerous and
costly imperfections in the Princeton
defense, it doomed the Orange and
Black to a one-sided drubbing.
Douglas. of the Nassau folks. was
the only one who twiried an effective
baton against the Harvard pitchers.
He raped out q three-bagger on
whitney, and Mahan, who relieves
him, was treated the same way.
Whitney was going along we'll and
pitching In good style until the sixsa
inning, when. following q triple, ne

had came to a close when Reed, with

nicely. and Mahan held the Tigers
safe with his speed. 1t was the cur

One Spy S Career

There was shot as spy In London
the other day a man whose career ha i
special interest TO Americans Franz
Rinteln was we'll known in tho United
states. at lcas; By the government Sc
crct Service. ON the very day OF his
death in London, indeed. he was IN
dicted in New York for passport
frauds. lie had nine years history
as German agent in this country
In 1906 he appeared in New York
with introductions 10 prominent poo
mission was to study the America n
banking system with IL view To estab-
fishing here branch OF the Bank OF
Berlin. Later he went TO Mexico and
South America. osrensibly with the
same mission. lie Is supposed to be
related to the owners Of the Bank of
Berlin. When the war broke out he
returned to the United Statues, and his
movements since have been the prop
erty of the government secret agents,
who kept him in sight because his Ger
man connections gave warrant for eX-
pecting that he would be serving Ger
man purposes here.
Among other things il was discov-
cred that he had worked here under
six different names-iIansen, Miller.
Mueller. Gates. Gasche and Rintcln
Shortly after the Lusitania massacre.
il became known that he was endcav-
oring TO ship food supplies through
Sweden for the use Of the German
army. His last activities in this coun-
try. II is charged, were devoted to
stirring up trouble between the United
States and Mexico. He had confer
a..
latter made his dash for the Mexican
border and fell afoul of tho American
government.
Then ne started for home and was
intercepted by the British while on
his way TO Holland under the name OF
Edward V. Gasche. OF Switzerland. His
indictment by New York Federal
grand jury is said TO be the beginning
OF grand jury consideration OF German
activity In American political affairs.
This one career illustrates what is
evidently going on in all countries The
international spy system has achieved
development such that nations must
soon make open recognition of the
problem. This ono German agent was
able TO establish himself in high social
circles in New York. including mem
borship in the New York Yacht Club.
Were such labors confined to the pro-
curing OF information Of value to his
government 1t would be more nearly
bearable. But in this case the spy was
in tho business. among other things of
embroilng the United States with a
neighbor nation. Such doingS fail in.
seriousness. II at all. only because tho
Secret Service men of each country
watch and foil those Of the other conn
try as happened In this case. The pro-
CESS Is an occasion OF irritation, how
ever. In the net result it probably
gives no country special advantage,
and the vicious system could be aban-
doned without loss TO any country
