Plereey'a Arm All night. Cliff Blankenshlp, manager of the Utes, rang up to say that Piercey's arm Is now all right, and that he intends to work the newcomer today. Incidentally. Blank Insists that Dougan Is a good pitcher, and has all the makings of a winner. Blank says that the three boots behind Dougan and the fact that he wants to save Dougan until he hits his stride was the only reason for tak ing him aut of the box. The three boots behind Dougan were more or less excusable at that. The ball took bad hops on each occasion. Y ell, anyway, the series now stands two games won for the Seals and two for the Utes.

The police were baffled yesterday morning in their efforts to stop the wholesale stealing of bases that featured the playing of Frank Newman's aggregation of "vaudevllUans" in their game at Lucas field with the policemen. The show shop boys galivanted around the sacks to the tune of 17 to 6. They broke into the run column right at the start and kept it up for seven Innings, when Charlie Lange, manager of the "cops." threw up the sponge. Tommy Quinlan. center fielder of the Utes, took a chance and umpired the game, but his safety was assured by the presence of his Indian teammates and a large crowd of spectators. Man- fager Newman was on the mound for his team, while Capt. O. C. Brown and C. A. Mlddleton divided pitching honors for the cops. The beat walkers proved their hitting ability, but displayed the fleetness of snails in running bases and pilfering sacks. For a few innings the fieldabout the only ing was such-thachance the toppers had of holding the ball was to handcuff it. Manager Lange threatened to institute habeas corpus to get the actors out In the fifth inning. e Several leaguers in the ranks of the law guardians, however, showed spurts of real class. Until the "cops" become more adroit in fielding the pellet they announced not enter a but will they will on anything fromleague, corner lotters take in to the Utes practice games. Manager Lange predicts that he will have a ball team If he has to play catch with them on their heats. The news of their first defeat was broken gently to Mayor Ferry, but they managed to keep the score a secret. old-tim- 2-- 440-yar- 4-- 2-- the-hal- 2-- Yale: third, Norton, Stanford; fourth, Brown, Penn State: fifth.
