feat of the year scored on Prince

Princeton outhit Georgetown, but
there the matter ended, as the
Tigers were quite unable to cope
with John O'Reilly's strategy.
IL began to look like Princeton
day when Sam Hyman, who was
elected 10 serve them over for
Georgetown. was unable TO deliver.
Hyrnan had plenty of stuff but
poor control. In first ball sailed
and the Tigers took liking to his
slow slants with the result that
they chased in three runs as a
starter.
Three bases on balls and two
hits gave the Tigers their trio of
runs. Hyman failed 20 locate the
plate and yielded two ringing hits
to Botting and Cooper.
In the second inning Georgetown
took the lead. ]. Z. Murphy singl-
ed and McPhee failed to field
Florence's fieider's choice. Maiiey
singled and Murphy scored on
Berg's error on F'lavin's poke. Hy-
man famed with three on. Thomas
uncorked a wild pitch over stin-
sons head when ]. r. Murphy
laid one down, three runs scoring.
In the very next inning sheedy
was safe on McPhee's error. Ken
yon walked and ]. r. Murphy was
safe, filling the bases, on another
error by McPhee. Malley, ON the
hit and run signal laid down q bunt
with all hands In motion and pulled
UP at third when Thomas threw wild
into right field In the endeayor 10
make the out at first.
Princeton's other tally was made
when j. r. Murphy booted Berg's
grounder. Cooper doubled to left
scoring Berg.
The Hilltoppers counted in the
seventh on consecutive triples by
Sheedy and Kenyon, Florence
drove a homer over the right field
bank, hitting as sharp drive as
has been seen on the Hilltop In
years.
Jenkins strained his right groin In
the third inning. but gsmeiy pitched
out his string allowing but five hits
and one run in the six innings he
worked on the mound.

HARRIS SCORES
THREE TALES
FOR MIDDIES
With Niemeyer, stocky Center
Fielder Enables Navy to Win
From Syracuse, 3 to z.

A NNAPoLIS. April 15.-win-
n ming from Syracuse on the
io~nl diamond this afternoon
by 3 to 2, all of the runs of the
winning side were scored by Har-
ris, the stocky center fielder, while
big Niemeyer, the Navy pitcher,
drove in two of the tallies by bat
ting.
Murray, although a bulky fell
low, pitched for the visitors and
also figured largely in the game.
He made the first hit and the
6rst run for his team and ac-
cepted ten of eleven fielding
chances. His one error, however,
was a bad one, as wild throw
to first in the eighth to catch
Rawlings, allowed Harris to score
the winning run,
Both OF the big pitchers did well
today, Niemeyer showing the best
form yet exhibited by a navy
pitcher. Each pitcher famed eight
and passed three. but Murray hit
a batman, who happened to be his
opponent, Niemeyer.
Harris was passed in the first,
took second on RAWLINGS out, and
scored on Niemeyer's safe hit. He
took exactly the same route in the
fourth. except that he reached first
on his own single. In the eighth
he again singled. but made the
circuit after Murray had over
thrown first to catch Rawlings.
Syracuse scored two runs in the
second on Murray's single. Ma

nN BOARD THE AQUITANIA,
April 15.-With Jack Kearns
person a lily directing, Jack
Dempsey continued his mysterious
training IN mid-ocean today.
The heavyweight champion boxed
four 3-minute rounds with Ben
jamin. Joe gave the champion a
fast workout, but Dempsey ac-
cidentally put little too much be-
hind one of his punches and knocked
the Californian stiff.
This was the second time In his
life that Benjamin has been Knocked
out. the other time being in a reg
uiar battle with Richie Mitchell.
Benjamin, who has often boxed
with Dempsey. says Jack Is faster
now. than at any time In his career.
No spectators were permitted in
the gymnasium today, despite the
fact that many notables aboard were
ciamoring for a peck at the cham.
pion.
There seems TO be no doubt that
Dempsey viii be In excellent shane
TO meet any opponents In Europe.
He did several miles of road work"
around the decks this morning,
punched the bag and went through
the usual gymnastic course before
boxing.
Tomorrow the champion will de
some boxing on the deck, providing
the sea is not too rough. The ocean
was much rougher today than yes
terday, and although many of the
passengers were seasick the cham
pion was not affected.
Dempsey. by the way, fears sea
sickness more than any challengers
for the title.
After his workout today, Jack
jumped on the scales and tipped the
beam at 1913 with his clothes on.
This is two pounds less than he
weighed before starting for Eu-
rope.

mess helped bring about a sharp ad-

market closed strong, ~ to 81 net
higher. with May $1.33A to $1.34, and
July $1.23A to $1.23ss. Corn gained v
visions the outcome was unchanged to
| 10c lower.
European purchases Of wheat today
were estimated at 1900, 900 bushels. in
| Guiding 100000 bushels of new wheat
The TACT that tomorrow would be hol-
tday, with all grain exchanges-forefgn
and domestic-remaining closed, was q
the market, inasmuch as many specu-
lators who had been on the selling side
apparently were unwilling to take the
risk OF possible surprise developments
before Monday. with only brief time
on Saturday for any needed protection
obtainable through buying.
Reports OF thousands of acres of
wheat drowned out by floods In the mid
die west were given a good deal of at
tentton among traders, and as bulIish
factor were supplemented by continued
unfavorable crop advices from some
sections OF the southwest, especially the
western third Of Kansas. Higher quo
tations at Liverpool counted also as a
stimulus to buyers, notably during the
initial dealings here.
Action of the corn market and the
oats market showed sympathy with the
wheat advance. Cash demand, how
ever, for the feed grains proved slow.

a depressing effect on provision values
