Moving northward Coach Mitchell's nine engaged Columbia in New York on Saturday. The contest developed into a pitchers duel between Whitmore am Ozerny of the Lions. The former allowed four hits and struck out 13 while the latter let the Harvard nine down with three safeties and fanned ten. Harvard's run was accounted for by T. W.

People kept telling him that a man whose life he had guaranteed, Gen- eral Li Chai-sum, the governor of Canton, had been executed-and there were newspapers to prove it.
