WILLIAMS BEATS
THE QUAKER NINE
Pitching of Young and
Fine Fielding of Toolan
Factors in Victory.
fBy Telegraph to Tn. Tribun.I

Philadelphia. April Playing fast
and snappy ball behind the excellent
pitching of Young, Williams defeated
the University Of Pennsylvania on
Franklin Field by the score Of to /
here to-day.
The visitors could just as we'll have
made it a shutout, as Pennsylvania
run in the opening inning was a pure
gift, the visitors making no effort to
cut it of. Primarily Pennsylvania
undoing was the result of YOung's fine
pitching. He allowed seven hits, but
these were so widely scattered as to
be practically worthless. In the
pnches, with men on bases, Young was
something the Red and Blue could not
fathom.
Wisner was in the box for Pennsyl-
vania, and he also pitched we'll, holding
Williams 70 seven hits, but, unfort-
unately. five OF these were punched in
the innings in which Williams scored,
though had it not been for a boot by
Moore, with two men out, the game
might have gone to extra innings"
Tooan played a fine fielding game
in centre. He covered acres of ground
and nothing appeared to be too hard
for him. II was his catch of a hard
line drive from Twins bat in the
eighth that nipped a Pennsylvania
rally and he came within an ace of
making double play. Swain was an
other factor for Williams. Not alone
did he make some pretty pickups and
throws, but he nailed a line drive
cleverly. Besides. his two doubles into
the right field seats, Melted Williams
all its runs.

The Tigers team evidently was az
ficted with a bad attack of stage
fright, for their playing was in sharp
contrast 20 the snappy and clean field
ms on Saturday against Ursinus. All
sorts of chances slipped through the
Princeton mems hands. seven miscues
in all being chalked up in the error
column. Al bat they were almost help

Taking courage after Scully's three
Dagger 10 deep centre field in the first
frame, Douglas connected in the fourth
period with a tremendous crack that
sent the ball soaring over Hartzolls
head TO the running track, and which
was good for a home run. He again
rose to the occasion in the last inning,
when. with Scully and Greene on sec
end and first, respectively, he sent
sharp single over second that scored
Scully. A scratch hit in the seventh
gave him batting average Of $50 for
the day.
Saving his first string pitchers for
the other three games Of this week,
Coach Clarke sent Chaplin 10 the box.
The sophomore, who, like all pitchers,
has his good and bad days. drew a
blank to-day and issued five passes in
the first inning. which. coupled with
Cooks single, Melted three runs. An
other recruit Straw relieved Chaplin
in the second period. and, while he
had better control, ne was easily solved

employed an attorney and will en-
deavor to obtain relief from the arbi
trary action of the Commission. There
are just such cases as the above in
Lyon and other counties, and the same
action will be taken by these other
counties, presumably. A body of men
cannot sit in Carson and value lands
throughout the State. There is diff
ference and a distinction in land and
the Assessor of each county is much
better qualified to fix valuations thar
those who never saw the land. The
incoming Legislature will most likely
have considerable to do with this Tax
Commission law and, may, possibly, be
able to straighten it out so it will not
be confscatory without wiping it of
the Statutes altogether.
