The CRIMSON Clouters had absolutely no trouble in swamping the Lampoon nine to the tune of 14 to 1 on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon.

The outcome of the contest was never in doubt except once, when the umpires were changed. Mr. Twitchell, however, showed himself equal in fair-minded arbitration to his predecessors, Mr. Sturgis and Mr. Miller, and the game continued in the CRIMSON'S favor.
Quite an argument preceded the affair, as the Bow Streeters wanted to disqualify Grinnell, claiming that he played on the Police Gazette team ten years ago.
