Someone recently asked the question:
Has Wallie Taylor dropped completely
out OF sight?" After Sir Wallace left
Syracuse. where his relations with the
controlling powers were not OF the most
pleasant sort, he decided TO hold himself
free until next SUMMER in semi-profes-
s.onal circles. Taylor. therefore, accept
ed an offer 10 go with the crack Lester

Binghamton. n. Y. Taylor's magnificent
work at second base. along with his nat
ural winning ways. made him phenomen-
ally popular In Lestershire, and now he
has practically given up all desire to go
elsewhere, will remain In Lestershire and
become a school trustee and one OF the
board OF control. The Lester Shoe Com
pany has given Taylor splendid posi-
ton with a lucrative monetary considera-
ton as the chief OF a number OF side is-
sues OF compensatory significance. and
TAYLOR will this winter remain on velvet

suitable comrades for his team for 1901.

10 investigate the entire matter of inter-
collegiate competitions in all its phases
and to prepare n report upon the same.
The final report of tho committee has
just been made public.
The report states that at present sthlet-
ic sports occupy disproportionate
amount OF attention in many Of our uni
versities. colleges and schools and the
main end OF all rules must be 10 prevent
outdoor sports and physical exercises
from interfering with the mental ana
moral training or the students.

them by the abolition OF the sports

letics the principal occupation OF his col

% n university should be permitted TO

money considerations should be wholly
eliminated from the games.
The committee considers that there Is
no reason why college teams. or even
parts OF college teams should be as
semblei for practice during the summer:
and when they receive n money benefit
by having even their expenses paid the
practice trenches dangerously near pro-
fessionslism.
IL would be better n all universities and
colleges could be brought TO give up even
the preparatory practice two weeks be-
fore the term opens.
The committee believes that the large
sums Of money taken In at any OF the
football games form a constant tempta-
tion To extravaganza and 10 the Illicit
use OF money. and recommends that gate
money should be reduced TO n minimum
by agreement OF all universities.

Bryan Attacks Labor

At Anderson, Indiana, Bryan deliber.
ately repeated his plea for burning the barn
to get rid of the rats, saying:
''The Republican party has no plan for
dealing with the trust question. We have.
We say, first, put on the free list the trust
made article, so that the trust made article
cannot hide behind tariff wall"
N regard Whatever for the effect on
labor. Not moments thought that such
a change as this would convulse nine tenths
of the manufacturing industries of the
country.
Bryan's threat to remove the tariff from
all things produced by trusts would take
protection entirely away from nearly all
the leading industries of the country and
expose them to unchecked competition from
cheap labor countries.
Among the manufacturers affected would
be those producing boots and shoes, brass
ware, boxes, cigar moulds. clay and pottery,
clothing of all kinds, c0rdage, cotton goods,
dentists materials, electrical apparatus,
envelopes, foundry and machine shop pro-
ducts, furniture, gas and lamp fixtures,
gloves and mittens, hats and caps, household
goods, scientific Instruments, iron and steel
pipe, leather goods, mattresses and spring
beds, millinery and lace goods, plumbing
and gas Sitting articles, rubber ard elastic
goods, silk goods, type, umbrellas and
canes, trunks and valises, wrewOrk, etc.
