ISrECUX. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Columbus, April 11. For 12 savagely
contested innings the Columbus Western
League and the Pittsburg National League
teams fought for the mastery this afternoon,
and when the winning runs came over the
plate the local clnb had the victory. It
was one of the greatest games of ball seen
here this year, and Columbus won in the
twelfth by a bnnching of hits on Camp and
errors of Mack and Camp. Both pitchers
suffered equally, but Camp was hit for the
most bases, and he weakened palpably after
the ninth inning. The fielding of both
teams was superb in spite of the cold
weather. For Pittsburg, Shugart, Swart
wood and Farrell led at the bat, and Mc
Clellan, O'Bonrke, Lally and Abbey did
the best stick work for Columbus. The
fielding of Swartwood1, Farrell and Camp, of
Pittsburg, was marvelous, while the work
of AValsh. McClellan, Stevens and Merritt
for Columbus was magnificent.
Some Brilliant Work.
The game abounded in brilliant plays,
and both teams evoked cheers from the
crowd. Neither team scored a run until
the fourth inning, when Swartwood got a
base on balls, stole second, Farrell sacri
ficed and Swartwood scored on Beckley's
safe hit to center. In the sixth, hits of
Swartwood and Farrell, Beckley's sacrifice
and Shugart's single scored the first two
runners. In the seventh Hanlon hit and
reached second on Campau's bad throw.
Bicrbauer sacrificed and Swartwood hit for
a double, scoring Hanlon. In the eiehth
Farrell hit, Beckley flew out to right,
Mmprart hit and stole second. Smith cot a
base on halls. Mack hit to Breokenrldce and
Farrell was cauzlit at tin plate, Snugarc
scoi ins on Camp's single. That was the end
of the ran-getting for rittsDtirg.
Columbus piled ur two runs in the sixth
on Walsh's double, O'ltouiko's'incle, tally's
saciifice and Abbey's single. In the eighth
thiee more runs scored on Walsh's base on
balls, O'Konrkc's singlo, Lally's three-baser
and AUbey's sacritlce.
Vth-re Thry Won.
In the twelfth Columbus won after
Stevens had gone out. JJcClellan hit for a
single, stole second and reached third on
Hack's bad throw to Beckley. Walsh got a
hast" on balls and Camp threw the ball wild
to IkscLlov to catch the runner, McClellan
(coring. O'ltouike hit and Walsh scored.
Lilly hit for a double, but he died there, as
Abbey retired the side from Bierbauer to
Escklev.

THE PBIKCETON TEAM.
Some Very Interesting Pointers About the
PlaTcrs Who Are Slated.
PniiCET03f, X. J., April 11. Special Cap
tain Lawrence Young has, with one or two
execptirns, picked his team for the spring
baseball series, and baseball men are begin
ning to calculate Princeton's cnances lor re
taining the championship banner, which she
now bold. The team has lost five or last
j-eai's veterans Dana, Payne, Durcll, Knick
erbocker and Brokaw. However, there are
lots of good material, and the men are work
ing harder and more systematically than
ever before. Captain Young, who is gener
ally accouuted the best college pitcher in
the country, will be in the box again, and
Frinceton men are relying largely on his
curves for success. Tho tall and handsome
flgnio of Fred Brokaw will not be seen back
ot the plate this year.
Everybody knows of his heroic efforts to
save a di owning girl at Elberon last sum
mer, an I how be was swept out in the
treacho-ias "seapuss." His place will Le
occupied by Brown, '92. Brown is throwing
splcndidlv, but in backstop work ho is not
vpt tin to the lnftrlf. He is Intni-nx-inw rsinfrtW-
liowe ei, and will likely be in good form for
the championship games. Otto, '85, w ill play
firsrt- He is tall and slender, and in his style
of play reminds every one of his predecessor,
Cnnilie l-'ana. Phil King, the tamou3 loot
ball player, will be on second. He excels
alike in batting, base-running and fielding.
As a second baseman he will not be sur
passed in the colleges. Shortstop lies be
tween Biooks, '93, and A. Young, "92, with
the chances in favor or Btooks. Helsaquick
and nervy fielder and one of the heaviest
b.ttiers in tho Universitv. E. Itamsdell, '94,
the tamons sprinter and broad Jumper, will
jilay third. His home runs in tue last cliam-
Juonship game with Yale at Manhattan
"ield proved his skill with the hat. IIo is a
good man in every point. Wright, '91, will
have his old place in center. He is a brilliant
fielder, but weak at tho bar. The other two
positions will go to the best batsmen of half
a dozen candidates. Mackenzie, '94, prob
ably has lett field.
Altogether, the feeling is that the situa
tion is encouraging. Harvard is possibly the
moie formidable lival, on account of the
prowess of Highlands in the box. Bowers
will pitch for Yale again, and uniess he has
impioved gieatlv he will likely be hit rather
fieely. The series will bo close and excit
ing, but Captain Young says he would not
t.-ade piospects with cither of the other
teams.
Gone to Cincinnati.
President Temple and Secretary Scan
diett, of the local club, left for Cincinnati
last evening to witness to-day's ball game
there. It is needless to sa- that both gen
tlemen were extremely confident o; seeing
the Pittshurgs in lront this alternoon.
President Temple said: "Well, if we lose to
day's game wo have many more to play."
Somewhat Close.

terial in his string. The Emperor is a beau

St. Anthony is a more powerfully built and
thoroughly sound animal. Soroeror had n
mild pipe-opener in company with the S-year-old
Abundance colt. The 4-year-old is
an extraordinarily muscled horse, and
whether he wins is merely a question of
whether he will stand up. Sis off foreleg is
puffy from the effects of his using it all the
time when the near leg was amiss last year.
Ho is in good snape to work on, with, no
superfluous flesh. The Abundance colt, who
is growing rapidly, Improves each time we
seo him, and certainly looks like picking up
some money in fair company."
TOM ELLIOTT'S DEBBT.
J. M. Brown's Colt Wins the Great Baco
at the Memphis Sleeting
Mzsrpsis, Tesk., April IL The opening
day of the spring meeting of the new Mem
phis Jookey'ciub was handicapped by
beastly weather, but the three thousand
people who braved the oold, damp atmo
sphere and sat through the five events were
well repaid for their trouble. Barring a had
start in tho first race the events were all
good ones, but tho track was ankle deep in
mud, and the spirit good.
Tho event of tho day, the Tennessee derby,
was won by J. 31. Brown's bay colt, Tom
Elliott, by Luke Blackburn, in 2:0 which
was good time for to-day. Bolivar Bnckner,
a 10 to 1 shot, surprised the crowd by winning
the fourth, about as he pleased. Helter
Skolter galloped in easily in the first.
Twenty-six bookies did a rushing business
and broko about even with the crowd. The
summary is as follows:
First race, six furlongs Helter Skelter
first, American Lady second, Critic third.
Time. 1:19.
Second mce, four furlongs Shawdon first.
Too Quick second, 1 Paso third. Time,
:51'.
Third race, Tennessee Derby, mile and an
eigntn Jim Murpnv at pounas, a. rriu
iams: Tom Elliott 115. Britton: Lew Weir 122,
D?long; Little Billy 113, Hoggett; Phil Dwyer
122, Overton. It was evident as soon ns the
Corrigan entry appeared on the track that
the two horses had been over trained. Phil
Dwyer looked the pink of perfection, bnt
his step showed too much training on a
lumpy track. Little Billy and Tom Elliott,
friskv as kittens, cantered by the grand
stand, and a few minntes after the Corrigan
horses appealed, looking fine and were ap
parently pleased with the mud. Jim Mur
phy, upon whom lots of monov had been
placed, came out last, and the five racers
were given as rousing a cheer as 3,000 shiver
ing people -could well put up as they went to
the post. As the horn sounded odds were:
Jim Jlnrptiv. 8 to 1; Tom Elliott and Little
Billy (Brown's entry). 3 to 2: Phil Dwyer and
Lew Weir (Corrlgari's entry), 7 to 10.
Britton, with his usual taotics, kept Tom
Elliott hugging the rail, and had his horse's
nose hi front when Sheridan "let 'em go."
Jim Mnrpliv was second, bnt only by a nose,
for Littlo Billy was anxious to be at the side
of his companion, and was pushing ahead.
Corrlgan's hores were close up, and all
made a fine hunch as they came to the
stand. In passing the stand Little Billy
had passed both Elliott and Murphy and was
smelling clear air for the stuff; Murphy was
third, with Corrlgan's horses no better off
than when they started.
At the quarter Little Billy had Increased
His lead to half a lencth, and his stock went
up. Tom Elliott, still on tho rail, was run
ning easy and seemed to be helped along bv
his companion and good riding. Dwyer had
made a -purt by this time, and had forced
Murphy back to fourth, while Weir brought
up the rear. At the half their positions
were unchanged, excepting that Billy had
inci rased his lead nnd was three-fourths of
a length ahead ofJElliutt.
When in the stietch Elliott drew out and
won oaslly. Time 2.03Ji.

NINE LIVES L08I AT SEA.
A Teacher and Eight Boys of the Boston
Farm School Drowned.
Bostox, April 11. Last night an instructor
and ten boys connected with the Boston
Farm School, at Thompson's Island, were
capsized in a sailboat, and the instructor
and eight of the boys drowned. The follow
ing are tho names of the victims: A. F.
Nordberg, instructor, aged about 40 years;
Frank F. Hitchcock, aged 19; Homer F.
Thatcher, 17: George F. Ellis, 16; Thomas
Phillips, 16; William W. Curran, 17; Charles
H. Graves, 17: Harry E. Loud, 16; Adelbert
II. Packard, 16. Tho rescued boys were O.
W. Clements, aged 17, and Charles A. Limb,
aged 16. The instructor had been to the city
during the day to attend church, and the
ten boys constituting a regular crew of the
school, lett the island at 6:30 o'clock to sail
to City Point to convey tho instructor to the
island. The tiip is perfectly safe under or
dinary circumstances, having been made for
years, even during tho winter months, with
out accident. As a precaution, however, in
view of. the breeze, the crew took a double
sailboat, instead of a donblo sail craft, in
which the trip is often made.
The trip to the Point was made and soon
after 7 f. 21. the boat was started on the re
turn trip. At a point supposed to be be
tween Spectacle Island and Thompson's Isl
and the uoat was struck by a squall and im
mediately capsized. The eleven occupants
were thrown into the ice cold water, but, be
ing accustomed to strict discipline and the
exei else of heroism in the school, they all
secured positions where they could cling to
the overturned craft, and then began a long
wait for rescue, which to most of them was
never to come. Divers are searching for the
bodies.

that college this term, has stirred up a veri
table hornets' nest, and the Maggie Eutter
scandal will now be sifted to the bottom, as
the .scandal was the excuse given by the
faculty in denying the six students admis
sion. The parents of the deposed boys
have already consulted attorneys to (jet the
legal status of the aflair, but have been in
formed that there is no redress by law.
They now propose to hold a meeting in
New Wilmington, and go as a committee to
the faculty ot the college Jind demand the
specific charges under which the students
have been dismissed, or, as the faculty puts
it, tho reasons whv the students were re
quested not to attend this term. Should the
faculty refuse to give its reasons, then the
parents of the boys will demand the minute
books of the meeting at which the action
was taken. Should this also ho refused, then
the committee of parents will frame resolu
tions, have them printed in circular form
and have ono sent to the parents of every
student, and also see that the public is fur
nished with all information on the subject.
Ono of the deposed students called on
President Ferguson, and asked him for some
reason for their action. He was told that
while the faeulty did not credit the story
connecting the boys with the Rutter affair,
the standing of the college would suffer un
less some action were taken. It was, there
fore, decided to dismiss the students whose
names had appeared in the papers as being
connected with the matter. Public opinion
is entirely on tho side of the students.
