The following is a sketch of the account

consisting of Captain l. St. Clare, a mate,
engineer and three sailors named Brown

shown slight signs OF Insanity but the
captain hoping the voyage would have a

a good man previously. The captain as

discussed at an uptown club today
among 8 group of Yale. Harvard and
Princeton men would have been re-
garded either as fanciful beyond ths

The opinion was that within few

Facing the Fact
At least two Of the men in this group
had played varsity base ball IN their
Cav and all loved the game. But they
were in a mood to face facts. The at
tendance. for instance. at the Yale
Princeton game at Princeton was high
II satisfactory from the standpoint of
rate receipts-some fifteen thousand
spectators crowded the stands on Uni
verSity Field
But this was because the crowd was
there. The base ball game itself would
not have drawn them TO Old Nassau
and interest il the event was lacking in
llIster. AS for student enthusiasm for
the national game at Princeton, the
fact that only 80 season tickets were
taken by undergraduates this year Is a
speaking indication of trend which.
save in certain quarters, is manifested
throughout the country.
Hsre is a letter from Walter F.

greatest college pitcher that ever stood

On the face of the returns of the first

from these two, for Medart, but the
flckleness of golf has refused all eff
