COLLEGE BASEBALL.
JOHN s. GARTAN DISCUSSES
 GARRISON CASE.

Talks About Other PIayers-Many Sus- pensions for Accepting Recompense
 Gases of CrumIey, Johnson and Frantz-Fourteen Players at Brown, Including the Great Lynch, the Big gest Bunch Suspended.
 John s. Garvan, the Trinity coach and former Yale pitcher, in discussing lthe suspension of Walter Clarkson, the Harvard pitcher, said that he did not know of a similar case. Clarkson signed with the New York Americans land accepted advance money. This barred him from playing in college games. MT. Garvan said that the re- tirement of Clarkson did not settle the series of two out of three games be- tween Harvard and Yale, as Coburn, the Harvard pitcher, would be put in the box and last Saturday he let Penn sylvania down with three hits, shut |ting them out.
 Some of the college players are up to all kinds of games to get an income out of baseball" said MT. Garvan. Some who are found out maintain that they are poor and are trying to work their way through college, but Ithis does not have any effect with the |athletic committees. One college nine got away with a scheme for two years land then they were found out They were up in the vacation country and as they were not allowed to play baseball for money they hired out as help for the traction company which owned the ball parks in the vicinity. This was one way of getting around the rules and when the men were found out they were barred from college baseball.
 Johnson, who pitched for the New Haven state league team went to Yale, land he was there while was in college. He played on the freshman team up to the big games, and when 1t was time for them he was barred. He graduated in 1902 and coached the Yale team for three years. He was a good pitcher and he could play first.
 The only wholesale suspension of players was at Brown this year when fourteen ball players were barred, in |cluding Mike Lynch, the premier col- lege twirler. Lynch has every other college pitcher beat mile. He shut out Yale, Harvard and Princeton. Lynch not only pitched great ball last season, but he had hitting team be- hind him. Lynch lives in HoIyoke and when he was in Hartford a short time ago he showed me his contract with Pittsburg. He joins the Pittsburg team Saturday and will get four thou sand dollars to finish the season. While all of the old Brown players were suspended they got up a new team and did good work, beating Princeton in one game.
 "Clarkson is not the only Harvard man who has been suspended. The athletic authorities learned that Home Run Frantz had played ball in the west last year with seni-professional team and Frantz is out of the college game.
 Crumley. the Georgetown pitcher who shut out Yale, Harvard and Princeton this year, pitched professional ball in the west before he entered college and after he was suspended he returned to the west and is now with the Indianap- oils team of the Western League.
 Regarding the college championship, Yale and Princeton have split even and it would be hard to say who has the better chances for the next game. MacKay, Yale's star pitcher is said to have a lame arm. Byram, the Prince ton wonder, was at the Shady Side school at Pittsburg with Grange, the Trinity pitcher. Byram pitched one in ming of a game while at that school and he was driven to the woods. Grange pitched out the game and he worked in all the others. Grange is good pitch CT and he ought to be better than ever next season when he returns to Trinity. Byram of Princeton has come forward very quick and he has been doing sem sational work"
 ..The rules of the college athletic as- sociation say that man shall not re- ceive any recompense for athletics, and as Clarkson received advance money he came under the rule"
