Perhaps the most popular perform

football. The blue came back with II
vengeance, defeating both Harvard and

first time In many years. The advent
Of Tad Jones us Yale's coach was,
therefore. an suspicious event for the

success, Pittsburgh had the best claim
to the championship title. Pittsburgh,
which went through the season with

opposition, compiled an impressive rec

by most experts.
In baseball Harvard wns generally
conceded the title. Columbia had u

UMPIRE DECLARED HIM SAFE
Peculiar Play Pulled or In Tacoma.
Seattle Game-Arbiter Makes
Novel Decision.

Fred McAiullin, the young inflelder
who has been making spirited bid for
a place on the White SoX team, was
playing for Tacoma mt Seattle few
years ago. He came in from third
on the dead run and slid for the plate.
McMullin knew he didn't touch 1t, but
he was afraid to slide back as the
catcher had the ball in his hand. The
umpire also knew he didn't score. but
said nothing, as that was not his bust
ness.
Fred busted off his uniform and
stalked nonchalantly to the Tacoma
bench.
"He wasn't safe, was he?" demanded
Cadman, who was catching for Seattle.
The umpire shook his head. At this,
Cadman, holding the ball In his hand,
dashed over to the Tacoma bench to
tag McMullin. Fred waited until he
all but reached his end of the bench,
and then slid over to the other end.
Cadman followed him, and as he did
so slipped on some mud and fell to his
knees. McMullin leaped up from his
seat, sprinted to the plate, and touched
II.
The umpire called him safe.
