Yale and ; Legore, MoGraw Is Trying to Sign for Giants. By Bozeman Bulger. F it 4s true that the big league managers will turn to the colleges for their material in the future, the scouting corps certainly booted a big opportunity by not seeing the play-off battle between Yale and Princeton. Four players, at least, from that a bunch could come pretty near mak- fi ‘ng a mark in fast company. The rquartet in mind ts composed of 48| Hunter and Legore of Yale and Kel- i leher and Deyo of Princeton, #0!

One of the gamest plays ever seen on the Polo Grounds was when Hunter blocked Scully of Princeton at the plate and prevented what might have been the deciding run, Legore got the ball to Hunter in coming a professional, Nevertheless S| 78| sO RE ¢te—_- Wuar (5 EXCEPT “THaT WHEN HE MIT HIS Men EDITED BY ROBERT EDGREN PUNCH Gan, } vite ely, Yer 4 nih REMEMBERED OF SULLIVAN = MEY WENT Downs ?

In other words, a McGraw's men right up among the leaders, McGraw says that any would have been so far in the Jord that nobody could have caught ¥ beating Cincinnati a second are but five games behind the lead- week of good playing would put team playing good ball this season them, erately set himself in the line, allow- ing Scully come in spikes first. He took the cold steel and turned a somersault, but held on to the ball. It would have been a dangerous thing for a big leaguer to do. A base runner like Ty Cobb or Eddie Col- ling might have cut him to ribbons with the flying spikes. Kelleher, the Princeton catcher, Is 4 real ball player and looks the part. He stands up to the plate as if he had had much more e rience than co! lege games would furnish and is as when he deliberately let a fast ball {hit him in the ninth #o that he could |take his base. A lad who will take @ fast one just to get on has all the instincts of a thoroughbred. The umpire would not allow it, claiming that Kelleher had made no attempt to get out of the way of the ball, but that did not detract from his game effort to do or die for Princeton. Another excellent player of these collegians is Reilly, the Yale third baseman, He fields and throws beautifully, but evidently is a little weak with the stick. The college boys played to a crowd of seven thousand and it was as good a ball game as the regulars have seen all year. In the past few years col- lege baseball has improved wonder- fully, Princeton played with more baseball acumen, but they did not have the batting punch possessed by Yale. Bill Clarke had them trained to attempt base stealing every time a man got on, and for awhile it proved a successful system. But for that Yale would have beaten them worse.
