NOW THE wedding OUT
MANAGER SELEE is TO DROP SEW
ERAL ORPHAN CANDIDATES.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill, April 13.-When the
team which is to represent the National
league in Chicago for the season of 1902
lines up for the opening game at Cincin-
natl next Thursday afternoon there are
likely to be surprises. Manager Selee Is
firmly convinced he has baseball club
that will be well up in the pennant race
at almost any time in the year.
The work of the players, despite the
adverse conditions under which they
were forced to do their preliminary
training at Champaign, mas been surpris-
ingIy good. The games with the Uni
versity of Illinois team have been the
best thing for the youngsters that could
have happened. They We're beaten at
first, to be sure. but the players were all
strangers to each other, and no signal
code had been arranged. Since Mama
ger Selee called his men together for the
signal practice, a little over week ago,
there has been a notable change in the
days the team showed much improve
ment and, as a. result, victories instead
of defeats were credited to the young
sters.
There now remain only two more games
to be played with the Illinois team before
the struggle for honor and the Ma
tionaI team pennant will begin On
Wednesday the team will start to Gin
cinnati to open the season.
Before that time the wedding out proc
ess will be under way. Selee will nave
a difficult task, selecting the men who
are to remain VITA the club, with such
a likely aggregation of youngsters to pick

One thing is sure, and that is that some

some manner or other in order TO get

ABE FRANK OvERRATED
TURFMEN DECLARE THAT BEN
NETT MAINsTAY HAS CaoNE BACK.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, April 13-Ftfty of
the Nashville turfmen who went to Mem
pnls TO see the running of the Tennessee
Derby have returned and almost to a
man they declare that Abe Frank has
gone back and that he is greatly over
rated. They have concluded that the
Bennett mainstay is not going to have
the Cumberland Derby at ais mercy, for
they think that he is gradually letting
down and will not be 50 good three
months from now as he is at the pres
ent time.
Tom Hayes, who has just returned
from Memphis, said that he was dIsap-
pointed in the race put up by Frank
and, in fact, some of the other horses
entered in the race. He expected Frank
to win in a canter. He said: Frank
is not as good as persons think he is. and
he will have a lot of trouble winning the
Cumberland Derby. Frank picks up 127
pounds in the race, while my horse car
RES only 107, which is eleven pounds less
than Buccleuth carried in the Tennessee
Derby. | don't think the Hanover horse
can give him the weight and beat Buc-
cleutn My colt ran a good race at
Memphis. / had no idea he could win,
but started him for second money
Hayes says he will make it warm for
the Bennett horse or any of the others in
the Cumberland Derby. He will start
two horses-Buccleuth and Crimean or
Buccleutn and Jordan.
w. H. Jackson Jr. entertains the same
opinion of the Bennett horse as does
Haynes. Jackson says Frank is much
OVerrated.

NEW STARS THIS SEASON
OLD-TIME CYCLE CHAMPIONS ARE
ON RETIRED LIST.

CHICAGO. April BITS down with the
old love ard up with the new in cycle
racing this year. New stars must be
created in the sprinting ranks to fill the
places of a number of prominent men re-
tired and to take the places of others
who have rejected spring racing for pace
following.
In the latter ranks there are number
of missing men. including Johnnie Mel
son, once one of the most popular rae
ing men seen on the American track and
Jimmy Michael. the wonderful Welsh rab-
bit. and the greatest attraction race-meet
promoters ever found outside OF Nelson.
Four men remain in the top bunch of
middle distances, Elkes, Walthour, Stin-
son and Moran. In the field of sprint
riders Kramer is almost supreme. most
of the riders ranking near him including
Willie Fem the second man in the
sprinting ranks. George Collett FLOYD

Lester Wilson and many more. having
decided to follow pace. Tom Cooper, the
once champion; Hardy Downing the
popular California ranchman and several
other sprinters have retired for good and

In the amateur ranks there is quite as
much of a change, for all the prominent
sprinters and pace followers have been
turned into the professional ranks Joe
Nelson, the young brother of Johnnie
Nelson, will take on professional clothes

now the amateur champion of the pace
followers and promises to rank among
the leading professionals Marcus Hur-
ley escaped the ak, and, although a col
leSe man, will be able to hold his own
in the championship ranks. AS a profess
sional he would surely give Kramer a
hard tussle for the honors. In the anna

CAME ENDS IN ADISPUTE
VESTS AND FLOAN & LEVEROOs
PLAY ONLY THREE INNINGS.

Two thousand enthusiastic fans were
disappointed yesterday afternoon, when at
the Post Siding grounds the game be
tween the West Publishing company and
the Floan & Leveroos' teams came to
an abrupt end III the first half Of the
fourth innings, with the score standing
2 to l in favor of the latter.
Kerns, of the West team made a hi
stole second, and as he was attempting
to steal third the backstop of the FIoan
& Leveroos' team threw the ball into
left field in an effort to catch him at
third A spectator, it appears kicked
the ball in to the shortstop who threw
1t home in time to catch Kerns at the
plate. He was called out, and the Vests
protested on the ground that the ball
having been blocked, should have been
returned to the pitcher before being
thrown to the home plate lengthy ar
gument ensued, and the Vests refused
to continue unless the decision was re-
Versed, and as the umpire persisted in
adhering to his first decision. Capt Sal
mon called his men from the field The
game was then awarded to the Floan &,
Leveroos' aggregation. Depati, for the
Vests, had fine assortment of benders
which the men opposed to him were able
TO solve for only one hit. Hank Gehr
ing, who officiated on the slab for Floan
q LeVeroos', was touched UP for three
singles.

FRANTZ, OF HARVARD, Is SUSPEND
ED FOR ONE YEAR.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April 13-The in
eligibility of Orville c.. Frantz for a 20
sltlon on the baseball nine is the great
est loss that has come to Harvard in
many years. While Frantz's position at
hrst base will be hard to fill, it is the
loss of the whole-souled enthusiasm
given the men by a natural-born leader
whom every student admires, that they
will miss most
The announcement that Frantz was in
eligible under the rule governing profess
sionahsm came like a thunderbolt from
a clear SKY to the undergraduates, but
when they learned that it was the big
first baseman himself that had brought
the matter US. everybody said: That $
just like Frantic"
In the summer Of 1895 the town Of Wink
field, Kan, not far from Frantz's nome,
organized a nine and asked Frantz to
Play with them. That was long before
the days when he thought of coming to
Harvard, and before he ever dreamed of
playing first base on a Crimson nine.
FrantZ Joined the nine and with it made
tour of three weeks. playing against
town teams in the neighbOrhcod. For
his services he received about 1856. which
was used TO pay his expenses. Just the
exact amount of money he received
FrantZ does not remember, as the Incl
dent occurred 50 long ago, and because at
the time he thought nothing of it.
Prof. Ira Hollis has had letter from
the manager Of the nine. and who is
now professor in Purdue university In
diana. in which he says that the facts
as given by Frantz are correct. He,
too, had forgotten cow much money
Frantz received. Prof. Hollis has also
a number of letters from other men. and
they all bear out Frantz's statement of
the case.
In the light Of the facts presented to it,
the athletic committee came to the con-
clusiOn that the case was not one Of clear
out-and-out professionalism, and accord
ingly, Frantz was punished, as was Muir
ply and Story, by not being allowed to
play this year

SCHEUBER ON PROBATION
FLEET HARVARD FRESHMAN MUST
MAKE GOOD IN STUDIES.


CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April 13.-F. b.
Scneuber. the fleet Harvard freshman
Splinter has been put on probation by
the faculty. The announcement Occa-
stoned no little surprise, as Scheuber was
looked upon as a sure point winner in the
Yale and Mott Haven games He came
to Harvard from Hopknson school,
where he established good records in the
sprints, hurdles and pole vault. He is
at present one of the holders Of the
worlds forty-yard dash record.
At the annual games Of the Boston
Athletic association, held recently, he
defeated Arthur Duffy. Of Georgetown,
the national 1OO-yard champion. and
again equaled the record for the snort
dash.
Scheuber is plugging hard at his
studies and Trainer Graham has hopes
of having the ban removed before the
Yale games. With Schick and Scheuber
in the sprints Harvard should secure
first and second places easily in both the
1G0 and 220. The young freshman will
continue training daily until the final
decision is reached in his case.
