that the first intercollegiate foot
bali game was played in America.
Princeton and Rutgers were the
teams which faced each other on

The captain Of the Princeton
team was william s. Gnmmere.

Chief Justice Gummere was pres

"sut It Was Not Enough, "
Says Barney, Praising
Conquerors
By SID MERCER,

tnGGEnGGJOuAA
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 16--Four
days ago the man who would have
predicted a world series. victory
for the Pirates would have been
locked up and his sanity ques-
toned. Today the Pirates are the
world champions. The experts
generally agreed that Pittsburgh
had the better club aside from the
pitching.
That was in doubt until yester-
day, when johnson failed under con-
ditions thai handicapped him cruel
1y. Ray Kremer emerged from the
series with a halo because he turn
ed the Griffmen back in the sixth
game and stopped them cold in four
important innings at the close Of
the decisive battle.
The only regret Of the old-timers,
and possibly Of every one of the
spectators yesterday, is that Walter
Johnson, as fine a man as ever
graced professional baseball, a
thorough, sportsman and a coura-
geous veteran whose mettle had
been tested and not found want
ing in nearly a score of years Of
major league campaigning, had to
be the loser.
johnson said after the game
that he gave everything he had
and il was not enough. He did
not attempt to abb the defeat.
Last year he won under similar
conditions from the Giants. He
had to have q lucky break to
come through then. Yesterday
he had some unIucIxy ones. Yet
he did not complain.
1.-The better team won" he de-
clared simply. "The Pirates were a
great ball club. They would not
quit"
Those who did not see Sir Walter
Johnson OF the baseball royalty out
there toiling under heart-breaking
conditions yesterday cannot appre-
ciate the bitterness OF his defeat
While Pittsburgh fans were
roofing feverishly for the Pirates
to win, they did 50 respectfully

In the second they brought
on . thin bisque of creamed to-
mato which fit the players very
closely up around the ankles and
made scoring by either side very
bad manners.
The fish course Melted three
runs for the Pirates because
Walter johnson got bone eros
wise of his tonsils and the sauce
was dripping from his ears.
The fourth was a beautiful
, round Of croquet played on a
ravishing filed of mashed pota-
toes in which the Griffmen asked
for a second helping and got
two runs for their impudence.
BY the time the salad course
was ready to be brought on,
