in City and Loses Out.


New York, Dec 5--Baron Won HUT
man. a wealthy Berlin banker who is
travelling in this country with his wife,
and stopping at the Felix hotel. No. "a
West Twenty-hfth street. reported 10 the
police at the West Thirtieth street sta
ton yesterday that he was the victim OF
a professional gold brick man
The baron called upon several bankers
in Wall street on Saturday. and when
he finished his business, dropped into
downtown cafe for luncheon.
A man with a military bearing took
seat at the table with the baron and
opened conversation in German. The man
appeared 70 be a stranger in the city.
and he impressed the baron as being an
affable gentleman, who had travelled all
over the world.
The stranger professed 70 have taken a
great liking to the baron. owing 20 his
resemblance to his old friend. and after
luncheon they visited several cafes and
drank a few bottles of wine.
The barons friend showed his regard
BY frequently patting him on the Shout
der. and when the baron went home the
stranger, who had given a name the
baron does not remember. said he would
call upon him at the hotel.
When the baron got home he changed
his clothes for dinner and noticed that
the pocketbool1 he carried in his inside
pocket was very fat on opening st he
found that $500 marks. all that it con-
tanned, had been removed.
The baron thinks the stranger removed
the pocketbock while showing his regard
with his hands. and replaced It after
taking out the money. TO avoid being
suspicioned. The police have hopes Of
finding the affable stranger.

With regard to the general athletic situation at

ular President Seth Low yesterday issued a
twenty-five hundred word official interview. He
said, in part:
AS to football, the problem certainly Is difficult.
First of all ii Is be said that If the Athletic
Association had had a convenient field at com
mand last year free of rent, such most univer-
stiles command. supposing the same income and
outgo for other expenses. It would have shown a
credit balance of several thousand dollars, instead
of a deficiency of $4,000 more or less. At most
universities the athletic field carries the sports
but here the sports have carry the athletic
field. l emphasize this point because am jealous
for the good Of the students of Columbia
University L want 1t clearly understood that in
comparing results here with results elsewhere the
difference in conditions must be taken into account
if just judgment is to be formed
In the mean while. Columbia does not command
convenient athletic field. and the probe mof sup
porting football here is full of difficulty for the
Immediate future it has been the last year
Those who want football must put up sufficient
ball can be maintained for the next without
running into debt.
