The Phi Beta Kappa ball team's preparation for yesterday's game evidently consisted chiefly in studying the wiles of Ulysses. When the CRIMSON nine appeared on Soldiers Field, it found an opposing aggregation consisting chiefly of hired thugs, with a few wise boys interspersed to give the outrageous affair an air of sanctity. Rather than forego an afternoon of quiet sport, the journalists condescended to play a few innings with their nondescript antagonists. But when more thugs appeared on the scene in the fifth inning, the game was protested. The protest was carried to the highest authority, the manager of the CRIMSON team, who allowed it. The game is therefore declared forfeited to the CRIMSON, by a score of 9 to 0.
