Scoreless Tie
With Fordhan,

Fordham and the Highbridge Ath-
letics, a local semi professional ,1ine,
engaged in an exhibition game on
Fordham Field yesterday afternoon
The game was called in the ninth in
ming after both teams had fought hard
but vainly to secure single score.
Although hits were few. especially
on the Maroon side of the ledger, field
ing thrills were frequent and both
teams interposed when scoring rallies
were imminent.
Each team resorted to a trio of
twirlers. The Maroon batters secured
one bingle during the afternoon, when
Colletti dropped one of W-ernecke's
offerings into short right field. The
Hlghbridge players made six hits, in
cluding a double, from the combined
efforts of McQuade, Halloran and
Martin.
Fordham filled the bases on an error
and two passes in the fifth inning, but
the next two batters were cufiningly
struck out by Wernecke. Other op-
portunities were destroyed by fine
tWlrllng.
cy Seymour, the ex-Giant centre
fielder. played first base for the WIS.,
itors. Dick McGinn, who would have
captaned the Fordham team if he had
not Joined forces with Uncle Sam,
came down from Pelham Bay to see
his old teammates, and he was imme-
diately conscripted to umpire. Cor
coran, Fordhams great end on the 1916
eleven, and several other athletes in
service watched the game.
Despite the lack of hitting, the Ma
room coach was we'll satisfied with the
game. The team seems destined to
bear out earlier predictions of being
one of the fastest fielding mines de-
veloped at Fordham.

St. John S cam
Is Shut Out by
Columbia Nine
Blue and White Players
Overwhelm Visitors on
South Field

Playing in style that suggested the
championship baseball team of 1916,
Columbia blanked ST. Johns College by
score of 25 to yesterday afternoon
on south Field. In this opening game
OIL the Columbia season Andy Coakley's
charges played all around the Brooklyn
team, excelling in pitching, batting and
NEEDING. st: Johns was held to no
score score by Herb Koenig pitching five inn
lngs and by Tommy Farrell the re-
naming four. A series of six runs in
the first inning and five in the second
gave the Blue and White lead which
trounced st. Johns at the start. The
Brooklyn college was unable to rally.
The SIX runs in the first inning were
secured from Burkhardt, the first
pitcher tried by the Brooklyn coach,
and were started off by long two-base
MT by Alderman, which brought in
Newman and Lester, the FIST men on
the Columbia batting order. Following
Ackerman, the two heaviest hitters Of
the university batting list. Houck and
Buonaguro, came up. Johnny Houck
drove clean single and Bunny fol-
lowed with two-bagger. Urls, the lit
tie red-hcaded right-felder, knocked out
a healthy home run, which was muffed
by Sherrin, the st. Johns centre fielder,
and which brought in three runs.
A similar combination of Alderman,
Houck and Buonaguro in the next inn
ing resulted in five more runs. The
brooklyn pitcher was then changed. and
Goette was shifted from shortstop to
the box. An immediate change was
seen, and Columbia made only three
runs in the next two innings.
None of the st. Johns twirlers could
compare with Kocnig and Farrell.
When the former was taken out of the
box at the end of the fifth inning Snly
two hits had been secured against him.
koenlg struck out five.
st. Johns team was considerably
more clumsy than the Columbia line
up, and showed up as much less en-
perienced. The many errors in the in
field contributed largely to the Colum-
bla victory: The only opportunity that
the Brooklynites found to score was
in the fifth inning, when Sheerln
made single, which Grogan followed
with two-bagger Koenig. however.

Before the Regular Hour.

AMSTERDAM. Nov. IL (By the
Associated Press). - The Nieuwe
Rotterdam Courant publishes the
following account of the former Ger
man Kaiser's entry into Holland:
AT about 6 o'clock Sunday morn
ing nine automobiles carrying armed
officers drew up at the Dutch from
tier near Eysden. A Dutch sentry.
whose orders we're to bar the pas
sage OF armed persons, refused to
let them pass. He told the party
they would have to wait until the
customs office opened. a customs
official. strolling UP, added the in
formation that the office would open
at o'clock.
"A member OF the group stepped
forward with the. announcement that
he was the German Kaiser. This
staggering information had no effect
upon the Dutch sentry. who replied
that the Kaiser could not pass until
he had orders to that effect from
his commanding officer. The customs
officer added that the party must
wait until and that the customs Of
flee would not open a moment earlier.
"And so tho party waited, the
members kicking their heels at the
delay. The former Kaiser whiled
away his time talking to some peas
ant onlookers. Punctuaily at 7
o'clock the party went through the
formalities OF internment.
