Ya1e's Solitary
Tally i'm Ninth
Beats Princeton
Ellis Win Deciding Game of
the Series Here in a
Brilliant Pitching Duel
By r. !. Kelly

Several thousand loyal followers of
the Yale Blue and the Princeton
Orange and Black turned out at the
Polo Grounds yesterday morning to
cheer their favorites on to victory in
the third and deciding game of the
annual baseball series between the
traditional rivals. 1t was an exciting
contest, replete with sensational plays,
and not until the ninth inning did the
New Haven collegians gain the de-
cision by the narrow margin Of single
run. The final score was | to 0.
After both teams had gone scoreess
for eight innings, Charlie Faherty,
Yale's star center fielder, opened the
ninth with a single to Keyes, the
Princeton third baseman. Holmes ad-
yanced the runner to second with a
sacrifice. Diamond, the next batter,
flied out to Strubing in center field
and Crane drew base on bale.
Peters then grounded to Trimble,
the Tigers shortstop. The latter
threw to McPhee at second base in
an attempt to force Crane, but the
runner beat the toss to the bag.
Faherty meanwhile made a dash for
the plate and scored the winning run
on close play.
Selleck Fails to Pitch.
1t was expected that Selleck, Yale's
leading twirler, who won the series
last year by taking the final game,
would be sent against the Nassau nine
again yesterday. However, Coach Billy
Lauder, the former Giant third base
man, selected southpaw Coke to bear
the pitching burden, and he performed
in splendid style. He had slight edge
,,oiC !,
The Princeton boxman was found tor
seven safeties.
In addition to scoring the only run
Of the game, Faherty made two sem
sational plays in the field. He robbed
Strubing of what seemed a sure hit in
the first inning by making a spectacu-
lar running catch of a line drive, and
in the fourth he pulled down McPhee's s
smash after hard run.
The Princeton players made des>
perate effort to overcome Yalcs lead
n the last half of the ninth and they
threatened momentarily to tie the
score. After Strubing had rounded
out to Aldrich. Lee shot single to
center. Trimhle then smashed a long
drive toward the left field bleachers,
but Crane made neat catch near the
foul line. Fisher revived Princeton s
fast dying hopes by slamming single
to right and Lee went all the way to
third. Mcnamara put an ingloricus
end to the belated rally by striking out.
Thrown Out on Hit
One Of the features was the inability
Of Margetts to reach first base on a
hit to right field in the fifth inning.
The pitcher was thrown out on Thorne
Murphy's line throw to Diamond.
Princeton won the first contest of
the series at New Haven several weeks
ago by score Of to but Yale took
the second at Princeton week ago

of her rival on elapsed time, which

The greater part of the race, which
was arranged as leeward and wind

Herreshog yachts sixth victory in the
series. The race was over a close fetch
tor q miles.
The committee planned a lccward
and windward race, but Just as the
yachts started the wind hauled from
the northwest to the south, and a few
minutes later it breezed up to seven
knots. The first three miles, however.
was almost q drift, so light were the
airs.
Resolute, starting five seconds astern
OF her rival, hauled by the Vanitie
on the windward berth and took the
lead after two miles. Picking up the
breeze first, the HerreshofF yacht at
one time had increased its lead to
more than mile.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21.--Details
Of how Erwin Bergdell succeeded in
eluding the police, by whom he was
wanted for draft lodging, were brought
out here to-day in the Fedefal District
Court by witness in the trial of Mrs.
Emma c. Bergdoll, his mother, and
four co-defendants accused of con-
spiracy in aiding the boys in evading
the draft.
Erwin Bergdoll was In court, hand
cuffed to a non-comm issioned officer,
having been brought here in shackles
from Fort Leavenworth, where he is
visibly affected when two witnesses, his
former friends. told of having travelled
about the country with him and his
brother Grover, who is still fugitive,
on hunting and fishing expeditions.
Fitzhugh Lee Creedon testified that
Erwin Bergdoll fed from the back
door of the home Of Charles A. Braun,
his brother, at Broomal, Delaware
County, on January 7, 1920, as govern
ment agents entered the front door.
The agents had captured Grover the
day before at his mothers home here
and were at Braun's house in search
Creedon said that Braun, who
changed his name because of the no
toriety attached to "Bergdoll," had
kept in close touch with both draft
lodging brothers as they went about
the country. Te sent Erwin 81 900 in
Baltimore on one occasion, the wit
ness :aid.
D. Clarence Gibboney, counsel for
Mrs. Bergdoil, when called to the wit
ness stand refused to testify concern
ing the pot of gold" to look for
which Grover got out of prison in
charge Of guards, from whom he sub
sequently escaped. Gibhorey's refusal
was based on the fact that he had
been counsel si.ce April, 1919, for
James E. Romig, former magistrate,
who is one of the defendants.
Richard Schroedel. of East Lans-
.downe, testified that he had gone with
the Bergdoll boys on fishing and gun
ming trips while they were fugitives
from justice.
