BASEBALL BANISHED
COLLEGE TEAMS MUST NOT MIX
WITH PROFESSIONALS.
College Presidents Reiterate Their
Ban Against Football and Add
Baseball to the List.

The college presidents of Indiana met last
evening at the Bates House, and, after de-
Ginning to amend the resolutions passed
last December, virtually abolishing foot
ball, passed another resolution prohibiting
all games OF any kind between college and
professional teams. The result of this last
resolution will be to danpen all the en-
thusiasm of the college teams, which have
arranged exhibition baseball games with
the professional teams of this and neigh
boring States. The resolution which passed
unanimously last evening, was as follows:
Resolved, That 1t is the sense of this
association that the recently adopted rules
fofbidding college teams from playing with
BAIL but e. ali eoe app sth net
That is blanket on baseball" said
President Fisher, of Hanover. referring to
the resolution.
Every spring the college baseball teams
arrange games with professional and semi
professional teams. The clubs have two
objects in So doing. One is to give Them
selves practice and the other is to raise
funds for the athletic associations. The In
dianapolis ball team has games arranged
with nearly every college team in the
celed.. The college boys have asked the
presidents to reconsider their decision re-
garSdng bal but the @ last
should be prohibited until the semi-pro-
fessionalisrn has been eliminated from it
and until the rules have been materially
changed.
Those present last evening were President
Smart, Purdue; President Swain State Uni
yersity; President Mills Earlham; President
Mees, Rose Polytechnic; President Butler,
Butler; President Burroughs, Wabash;
President Stott, Franklin, and President
Fisher, Hanover. The chief object of the
meeting was to hear the report of the COM
mittee appointed last December, which was
instructed to investigate the courses of
English in the high schools The object
of the report is to bring about cooperation
between the high schools and colleges by
advancing the study. of English, compost
ton, photography and grammar. Both col
lege presidents and high school superintend-
ents believe there should be more uniform
ity in the teaching of English in the high
schools and colleges. The committee MAX
ing the report was composed of Presidents
Mills, Burroughs and John. They made a
study of the courses in all the schools and
examined the textbooks used. The report,
so the presidents say, is very interesting
and 1t will be published in book form. Last
evening the presidents gave out only the
informatio that it is interesting, without
saying what recommendations it contains.
The presidents were afraid their meaning
would be misunderstood. President Fisher,
of Hanover, had report ready for the
papers and he said it contained all the
presidents desired to have made known.

Roomerang Throwing.

The Oakland Times thus described one form of throwing the weapon: King Billy and his five accnmplices are wonders in the art of curved pitching.
 They were a motley-looking throng as they stood in line with a bundle of slats bent near. the center, and with the greatest apparent ease threw them around corners and sent them spinning into the air circling and sweeping. One by one they would step forward and with greatest apparent ease send boom erang whistling ont over the lake and long after anyone had forgotten that it had been cast it would come circling back from the direction of the Piedmont Band building"

A Clever Cardinal.

The Italian papers state that several cardinals have asked leave of the pope to quit Rome for short period ill order to recruit their health at the seaside or in the country. The pope, who is some what opposed to their so doing, is said to have remarked that, as he stays al- ways i'll Rome and enjoys good health, so also they should be able to remain. To this remark one of the cardinals re- piled, ''It is true, your holiness, but permit me to observe that our faith teaches us that the Holy Spirit assists your holiness, whereas it does not teach us that he assists the cardinals It is said that the pope was rather surprised at this clever reply, and added: Well, go, and may the Holy Spirit assist you also "-I,ondon Daily News.

A Magnetic Young Woman.

A handsome brunette on the Peak s island boat bewitched not only the young men aboard, but the compass as well. The magnetic needle would fol- low her finger all around the circle, and had she beckoned, every youth aboard would have gladly followed the needles example She was unaware before that she was such a magnetic young lady. The pilot made the discovery, for she deflected the needle by sitting down be- side the pilothouse, causing him trou- ble and exciting his curiosity so that he investigated. Augusta (Mes) Journal

TIE Democratic State Committee


 THE Democratic State Committee of Kentucky has issued an address 10 Democratic voters to ignore the differences between the leaders of their party and to stand by the platform of the convention and the State ticket. The address also calls on all Democrats to unite for good government and to allow the Ma tional convention next year to set tie the financial question. The ad- dress is thoroughly conciliatory, and if the Democrats of Kentucky are wise they will act in accordance with its suggestions and cease the bickerings which threaten to dis rupt their party and give the States to the Republicans.

JOHN A. LoeAN's SECRET Is OUT
1t Was lie Who Wrore "rom Ande rsou
and His Twenty Great Battles"

1t Was lie Who Wrore "rom Anderson
and His Invent, Great Battles"
Chicago, Dec. 15.-A special TO the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
John A. Logans secret is out at last.
In 1856 a book appeared from the press Of
a New York firm entitled ''Uncle Daniels
Story of Tom Anderson and Twenty
Great Battles" IL was published anony-
mously, by an officer of the Union ar
N.Y." Many prominent public men were
covertly attacked in its pages, their
names being paraphrased Some of them,
conspicuously Senator Voorhees, of In
diana, published interviews in self-de-
Tense. All efforts to identify the author
proved fruitless. But the secret is now
out. John A. Logan was the author and
Tom Anderson" was himself.
General Logan wrote this book in 1884
and the following year. He began it
while he was on the republican ticket
with Blaine, as a candidate for vice presi-
dent. General Logan told those who were
honored with his confidence that all the
incidents of his book were actual occur
rences. He regarded the story as an
autobiography. The framework of the
story was imaginary, but its substance
was drawn from General Logans own ex-
perience and observations. In order to
conceal his Identity and to avoid too
pointed reference to prominent men in
military and civil life. General Logan
changed geographical ana proper names
to suit his purpose, though nearly al
ways leaving clue to his meaning. The
story is told by Uncle Daniel, who in real
life was Daniel McCook father of the ia
nous family of McCook boys who enter
ed the army from Ohio.
Colonel Rush, a man with one arm,
asks Uncle Daniel for a story of some Of
his experiences in the wal. Uncle Dan
lei arises, delivers a short melodramatic
prologue, and begins by telling about a
riot in Allentown in 1861. Bowen, a prom
inent man in that part of the state, had
excited the people by denouncing the war
as IAN infamous abolition crusade" the
president as a villainous tyrant, and the
United States soldiers as Lincoln's hire
lings and dogs with collars around their
necks. Here Colonel Bush interrupts the
old man by asking what became of this
man Bowen.
Il understand" replied Daniel, that he
now occupies one of the highest positions
the people of Indiana can give to one of
her citizens" This was said in 1884. The
book contains attacks upon other men
than in public life.
