MADISON, Wis.,, March 23.-Gordon
Lewis. captain of the University of
Wisconsin Baseball team. played pro-
fessionaI ball last summer. This is
taeit1y admitted at Madison and by
authoritative persons connected with
the university athletic department.
Coach Utley, of Michigan, knows this
to be true, for, it is said, he organized
the team upon which Capt Lewis
played the paid games as alleged.
Coupled with this admission is the
bravado-f ronted question.
"Who will dare to make formal and
explicit charges of professionalism
against any Wisconsin athlete?"
This situation is probably unique in
the history Of Western intercollegiate
athletics. Probably never before has
it been admitted that professionalism
prevails in university athletic team,
coupled with a dare or defiance for any
opponent or fellow in the intercolle-
giate amateur conference to prefer
formal charges.
The secret of this remarkable situa-
ton is the possession by the athletic
authorities at Madison Of information

DULUTH. Mimi. March 23.-Manager
Leonard Van Praagh today completed the
list of players for his Northern league
team by signing ]. w. Schooley, of
Kenosha, Wis, a promising young college
player. to cover second base. Following
this Immediately he sent out notices to
names to Duluth contracts to report at
Chippewa Falls. Wis, on April TO- to begin
the preliminary practice. 1t is expected
that twenty players, possibly more, will
be on hand at that time.
Those whose names have been an
nounced and who have given assurance
that they will be present are Mullane,
ers; link, first base Schooley, second
base; Ball, shortstop; Quillan, third base;
Wilkes, left. field; Lager, center field;
Graves, right field; Kennedy, Curtis,
Shepard and Hughes, extras. 1t is known
that outside of these men there will be at
least four players from the Chicago City
league on hand to don the Duluth uniform
Immediately following the assembling
of the team Manager Van Praagh will
probably arrange for new uniforms and
will let a contract for the improvement
of the local grounds. The park was laid
out only last year and there was barely
time to get It enclosed before the opening
of the season Minor improvements were
made throughout the season, but the dia-
mond was never in satisfactory condition
and the seating capacity was inadequate
for the holiday crowds.
: 1t is proposed to make extensive I'M
provementS this year so that there will
be ample accommo dations for all of the
patrons of the game. Aside from the
fact that additional street railway faeili-
ties have been obtained, more seats will
be provided, the diamond will be worked
over and everything will be put in first
class condition.

DR.. J. G. Elsom. head of the gymnastic

Cook, Minnesota partisans were selected
as judges Of the intercollegiate contest at

defeat the Gophers with competent and

things his own way at Minneapolis, pre-
