1t is expected by those in charge of
the base ball series that just as much
interest will be shownsin the games as
was evidenced in the track and field
meets. the final of which was held yes
terday. Not as many schools are rep
resented in base ball as in track. but
the sport is getting a good hold IN
them. and such a championship series
as is about to take place should do
much to stimulate diamond activities
among the younger athletes.
Princeton is not expecting to carry
out Its foot ball schedule this ran.
According to word which officially has
come from that institution it is hardly
probable that it will be represented
by an eleven or in any branch OF atn.
letlcs until the end of the war. 1here
may be a change of heart later, Out
right now prospects for sports IN
IlsertoWn seem to be exceedingly
drear.
Nearly two weeks ago the athletic
management of Princeton directed let,
ters to the directors of athletics IN ali
the colleges with which 1t has Iool
pail games listed this fall conveying
the information that the university
pIobably would not be represented III
athletics until after the war. and re-
questing that probable cancellations OF
root ball contests be accepted In good
Iaith because of the unusual conditlons.
Inc letter stated at that time that
meeting of the athletic board would
be held shortly. at which definite con-
ciusions would be arrived at concern
ing the action to be taken in regard
to sports The tone of the letter held
out little or no hope that intercolle-
gate games of any character would
be continued,

Cobb's Flail Working Well.

Du Mont failed signally to stop Cobb's
record for hitting safely in consecutive
games, said record now being fourteen.
for in addition to the three-bagger re-
ferred to Ty cracked out a double to
left center on his first appearance at the
plate. and but for a piece of highway
robbery perpetrated by Joe Judge in the
third inning the Georgian would have
had another extra base hit and. incident
ally, the Tigers another run.
Young was on first. having walked
after two were out. when Cobb caught
one of Du Mont's curves on the end OF
his bat and sent 1t whistling toward
right field, just inside the first sack. II
Judge had not been playing at the ten
anted bag he would never have gotten
near it, but, as 1t was, he made dive
with his ungloved hand and stopped tho
ball. picking it up in time to retire
Tyrus.
Howard Ehmke. the youngster GriH
once had title to. started in great shape
for the Tigers. retiring Judge. Foster
and Milan in order in the first inning.
The enforced absence from the lineup
of Burns caused trouble for Ehmke in
the second round, however. as ball hit
by Leonard to right field went for three
bases and scored Rice, who had walked

berth. instead of subbfng at the initial
sack. Leonard merely would have been
charged with time al bat. instead OF

The Nationals did not hold their lead
long. for Bobby Veach gave a striking
demonstration of why he appears in
fourth place in the Tigers batting or

sign paralleling the right-fieid wall. the
first time this season that ball has
been hoisted out of the Enclosure.
Washington's second and final tally
was clearly produced in the sixth
round on Fosters perfectly placed
triple that fell in deep left center be-

Ehmke retired in the eighth, when
he was removed to let Bob Jones strike
out for him with a runner on first. An
name, got thoroughly warmed up to
take his place. but when the inning
produced two runs for the Tigers and
gave them the lead, willy Hugh Jen-

and had him officiate in the remaining
two innings. which he did in his usual
masterful style. The only hit made off
himl lucky looper that fell safe in
short left field. gave Rice two bases in
the ninth, but awaited nothing. as
neither Shanks nor Leonard was equal
to the opportunity of bringing Sam
home.
Doc Ayers twirled the ninth inning
for Washington, Menosky having been
sent in to bat for Du Mont without ad-
vantageous result in the eighth. boo

plan is to plant COW peas on all

Your pea land can be sown to Glow
