PRINCETON SETS PACE
FOR COLLEGE Mines
BY WALTER CAMP.

NEW YORK. May 15.-This has
been a great year in college base
ball. Excepting Princeton. few teams
have shown great consistency. The
Tigers, with their thirteen straight
victories to date. have shown them
selves to be of title caliber in a
season of fast and loose playing.
But today is no time to pick the
winner" There remain too many
games still to be played and there
is one great factor in college base
ball that may change the face of
things as 1t looks today. That factor
is the fickleness Of fortune on the
college diamond.
There are possibilities at both Har-
ward and Yale-in the big three
that must be counted on. Each of
these teams has shown very fine base
ball. and II either could steady down
in this last lap of the university
season and get back to batting
streak, as each is capable of doing.
either could make 1t very difficult
for the Orange and Black.
With all Princeton's wonderful
work this year. the inevitable ques-
ton is. "Will the Tigers keep 1t up
or crack?" And here enters that big
factor which makes college base bali
so attractive-its uncertainty of out
come.

However great their own desire.

To set beside the road sign.
Believe that men are good. believe
That women all are sweet and fair
The world will comfort when you griev,
And when you sorrow II will care

But, brotherhood TO understand.

The song to lift, the smile to cheer
