NT i By RALPH DAVIS. THE MAJOR League baseball season of 1929, which closed a week ago, goes down in history as one of the a. mm JL least satisfactory in recent years. THE CHICAGO club, which, won the pennant in the National League and the Philadelphia outfit, which triumphed in the American, have no kick coming. THEY PLAYED to large crowds all season, Chicago set ting a new attendance record in its loopx The Athletics, coming along consistently Princeton Is Victim of Big Upset, Losing by One Point.

By The United Pre. PRINCETON, N. Oct. 12. Two long passes from Bubb Edwards to Link Fogarty, thrown in the closing minutes of the last quarter, gave Brown a 13 to 12 victory over Princeton in Palmer Stadium A crowd of close to 30,000 attended.

The game marked the renewal of ootball rivalry between the two colleges after a 26-year lapse, and it was the first victory for the Bruins six engagements. Princeton rallied gallantly in the second and third periods to overcome Brown's 7-point lead, gained at the very beginning of the second quarter. Eddie Wittmer and Trix Bennett were the stars of the Tiger attack. Lineup: Brown to win for the first time in many years, attracted large audiences both at home and on the road. RUT CONDTTTDNS in other cities nm i were far from satisfactory, and but for a I tJ-i maornctiim -f tVi Ciir anrl tht Ath letics, many of them would have been still further in the red.

IN PITTSBURGH, there was little real enthusiasm at any stage among the fans. The local club, in answer to a suit filed against it some time ago, claimed Munrne R. that in 1928 it lost more than $160,000. IF THAT was the case, the chances i i i i a are mat me iusscs mis vedi iau suu .1.: G. R.

A Notre Dame fumble on the Irish 32ryard line placed Navy in position to score first. The Middies marched through the Green forward line on st-aight plays to the goal, Clifton carrying it over. Lieb sent his first string in at the start of the second quarter and a long march, 62 yards, to the goal started.

West first half offensive consisted almost solely of Stumpp's efforts to complete passes. He did get one beauty over to Lang that picked up 25 yards and pushed deeply into Pitt territory, but there the Panthers stiffened and Eddie's efforts went for nought, when he tossed one over the goal line, only to see it batted down for a touch-back. An intercepted forward pass started the drive for the golden played for the first time, helped the Fuchs outfit and the Redsox to pull through.

Successive singles by Hornsby, Wilson, Cuyler and Stephenson in the sixth brought in two runs and put Bruins on first and second. At that particular moment, Connie Mack called upon his reserves of pitching ability. He signaled "Rube" Walberg to the hurling oasis, and the first thing the gangly southpaw did was to field Charlie Grimm's safe bunt and heave it far past first base. Ransom Hawtey Y.

The third period witnessed the only serious assault made by the Albion eleven on the Duke goal line.

A fumble by Donelli along about the middle of the period gave the visitors the ball on the Duke 27, and they broke out with a pass. Light-body to Penzotti, to gain 19 yards and a first down on the Duke 7. The Bluff eleven proved equal to the task, however, and on two line plays the visitors, instead of gaining, found themselves two yards further from their objective. Then they resorted to the forward pass, and in this they were also thwarted, the Dukes breaking down a couple of tosses and taking the ball on their own 20 to avert a score. This was the only serious attack made by the Albion gridmen on the Duke goal line.

BURNS DOES WELL. Burns came through with his usual brilliant open-field work in the fourth period to score one touchdown and place the ball just one yard away from another. The clever "Doggo" scored his marker on a dash of 29 yards, that found him eluding practically the entire Albion machine during his run. Then again, later in the period, he and his mates advanced the ball to the Albion 33, Burns taking the ball on a wide skirt at right end, and behind perfect interference he stepped to the one-yard line, where he was downed. McCarthy piled over the line for thus touchdown, taking the ball on a sneak play after a line smash by Kovalcheck had failed to make the touchdown.

Thus did the Dukes get off to a rousing start in their inaugural battle at Forbes Field. The contest was a success in every way. The chowd was estimated at 3,500, which was quite an assemblage for a Duke gam. For Duquesne, Burns and Donelli featured on the offensive, while Kemp, Silverstein and O'Donnell played well on the defense. Penzotti Wheeling Leechburjr Univ.

By that time, the Mackmen had run their total for the round up to 10 runs, two more than the Cubs were credited with. Ten hits, including two homers and a double, a base on balls and a hit batsman figured in the staggering victory drive that paralyzed the Bruins and made them easy victims for Grove, who pitched the last two rounds. Only six men faced the speedy southpaw the rest of the way and four of them succumbed on strikes. A pinch hitter, Hartnett, took Malone out of the pastime in the eighth, and Hal Carlson finished, giving up two hits, but allowing none of the A's to dent the platter.

A negative answer would be given to his query bv a majority of the fans, who would tell the National prexy that Pittsburgh cannot have too never in real danger. Then to add insult to injury more than anything else, it seemed, the Cubs finished their scoring in the seventh, while Ed Rommel, knuckle-ball addict, who replaced Walberg at the start of the seventh, was on the mound.

That last act in scoring direction, as far as the Cubs were concerned, came when Hornsby plastered the ball against the stands in left center for a triple, to wander in when Cuyler drove a clean base hit to left.
