Yale won the title in 1881, 1882

Charles C'Chuck") Koscis, who

who would step up and take it,
and this the Griffmen ultimate
ly did with conjunction. They
lifted themselves into third
place by taking the game which
swung back and forth like q
pendulum.
Four pitchers were on the
mound for each side, the pa
rades toward the mound asSum-
ing the proportions of bank
run On several occasions.
Sir Robert Kline, the monu-
mental acquisition from t n e
Athletics of the last weekend,
did his speciality in relieving Nc
Coll, pitching an inning against
the Browns in which he showed
considerable class not the least
feature of which was a world of
speed.
This overgrown lad of %
summers, 6 foot 3 and 239 on
the scales, ought to be quite a
little man when he finally at
tains his growth.
Francis Pete Daily
Francis "Pete" Daily, who will
be buried in Philadelphia to-
morrow, was a link between the
old order and the new in the
ever changing newspaper pro-
feSSion, And he was a faVorite
with both schools.
Had pete" been able to write
as he spoke, he might easily
have been a acknowledgement
humorist. But his tendencies
were more to editing than writ
ing.
His crisp brand of wit, a nice
mixture of the whimsical and
the outright comical, was his
forte to the last in the face of
odds which were terrifically
heightened by lonliness in the
higher climate he sought to re
store his health.
Without his newspaper gang,
PeCe" was lost. From the soil
tude Of his small apartment he
would call UP his friends and
talk shop by the hour at times
when he was unable to make
the rounds of the dailies.
I think possibly I basked in
''Pete' Dailey'S cheerful philoso-
ply longer than any of his later
associates, for "Pete" and I
were in grammar school to-
gether before either ever
dreamed of a career. There
fore, I can say truthfully that
his charm was natural, not &C.
quired.
Newspapers were his idols
next to growing daughter for
whom he was ever taking his last
means to send trinkletS and
see through school. There was
q love of which few were
familiar. 1t transcribed in my
mind al of his many other de-
votions,
