TUFTS IS REAL MAD.
Thinks Of Breaking of all Athletic Assoc'a'
tions With BoWd0in.

Medford, Mass. Dec. 2S.-Manager
Thomas of the Tufts base ball team,
for the season Of 1901, stated, TINS
evening, that the usual games with
Bowdoin would not be played, next
spring. The attitude maintained by the
Maine boys at the close OF the 1901
ball season aroused much feeling at
College Hill, and Manager Thomas IN
his decision has the support of the en-
tire student body. The many reports
from Brunswick assailing the sports
manship and honor of Tufts athletes
were not retracted; and Tufts men are
in favor of cutting off all athletic as
sociations with Bowdoin.
The schedule for next spring is not
yet completed, but the indications are
that it will be the most satisfactory
which has been arranged for many
years. Amherst, Williams, Holy Cross
and the University of Vermont Will
probably play at College Hill for the
first time in many seasons. The usual
games will also be played on the home
grounds with Colby, Bates and the
University of Maine. The team VIII

there will be the Maine trip, the New

morrow, will say: a fitting close of Il
year of exceptional and, in some re-

large holiday business in the past
week. The best reports as to this sort
of trade come from the Southwestern
section, but. except in some parts OF
the spring wheat and lumber belt OF
the Northwest. satisfactory advices
are quite general Heavy weight cloth
ing, too, has been meaSurably helped
for the same reason, but, despite a
good business in the past two weeks,
the fur trade has apparently Jagged
somewhat owing to mild weather. In
wholesale trade business has been Of
seasonably small proportions, but re
ports from leading lines, such as iron
and steel. shoes and leather. lumber
glass and spring dry goods, have been
encouraging. chiefly Of course. as re-

outlook rather than as to new business

is now in progress, and details as to
accomplished results will probably be
forthcoming soon after the close of
