Lady Luck will double-cross Jordan today, for Newcomb-ers will have Watt I call rude a Wilkening, Visitors' hope will deKlein, and then they Lamb out of here quick. It Snow-ball game to Harvard--just more practice. Huey sees Winter day by Adlis 19-0 score. Also if Yanks not too Rolfe with bats, Fitzsimmons Ott to take third game of ball, Landis means series goes to Giants. Score today, Giants 5, Yanks...
