SHIFTY ACTS JUSTLY REWARDED

Phi Beta Kappa Loses to Monthly-Advocate 7 to 5.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Morris, as mound-officiator for the Monthly Advocate diamond disports again hung the Indian Sign on the Phi Beta Kappa nine by the score of 7 to 5 in what closely approached a game of real baseball yesterday. The fielding of both teams was remarkably clean, and the batting remarkably light. At the end of the sixth the score stood at 5 to 5, and it was decided by both litterateurs and scholars to debate to a decision. The exponents of combination hammered out two runs in the first of the seventh; and the Phi Beta Kappa men, aided for the second day by Herter, resorted to scholarly craft to win out. Their batting order was entirely changed to bring their heaviest hitters to the plate. Stoutly and bold-facially they upheld their action as legal, and Umpire Brown, who only occasionally showed faint glimmerings of baseball knowledge, allowed it. Crafty dealing, and its perpetrators, however, received their just reward. McIntosh ignominiously struck out, Herter could only touch Morris's remarkable delivery for an easy infield grounder on which he died at first, and the next man fanned. The Monthly-Advocate infield, consisting of Osborne, Douglas, Lincoin, and Smith gave a perfect exhibition of individual and team-work.
