COLLEGE BASEBALL
OUTLOOK

| NEW YORK, March 22.-The COL
lege baseball season for 1905 is
scheduled to make it's debut today
with a game between Yale and Trim
| ity college teams. Owing to the late
| spring few Of the college teams in
the East have had an opportunity
| for outdoor practice and as a result
it is probable that many of the early
| games of the their schedule will be
post poned until later in the season
Some of the diamonds have not yet
had a chance to thaw out yet and it
will be two or three weeks yet be-
| fore the season is on in earnest. In
| the meantime, however, the indoor
practice is being pushed at all the col
| leges and the professional coaches
| have begun the wedding out process
in their efforts to Eliminate the I'M
desirable material from the squads.
SO far as material is concerned
! favorable reports emanate from near
! ly all of the big colleges. At Prince
| ton four players remain from last
| seasons nine in Captain Walls,
| Cooney (catcher): Byram and Rraid.
In addition to these veterans there
are Ritter. Hamil, Mclean, Harlan,
Bard, Fisher, Watt and Zahnisee
The selection of high heavy hitting
| outfield is now the main aim of the
| coaches.
| Yale starts the season with but lit
tie promising material. Few of the
players of high class calibre remain
Capt Bowman, OBrien, Huiscamp,
Smith, Barnes and Cote are eligible
and a number of last yer's substi-
tutes are available. The batting prac-
tice has been especially emphasized
this year. and in this department
of the game the team should be
strong, as six men, of whom four
are in college this year, eraged
| over 800 during lats season.
The prospects at Harvard are
probably the best among the East
ern colleges. More than 100 candi-
dates reported in response to Capt
Randall's call, and under coaches
| Murphy. CHESHIRE and Keller have
been making rapid progress at in
door work The star battery, Co
burn and Stephenson, who were the
chief instruments in shutting Yale
out in the final game of Yale and
Harvard series last year, will be in
the points for Harvard again this
year.
| The Cornell squad is well advanced,
| and Coaches Jennings and Warner
| have just made their selection of
| eighteen players to be taken on the
Southern trip At Pennsylvania the
situation is also well in hand. The
fastest of the material in the squad
has been selected, and the prospects
for a high class team are considered
excellent. Pennsylvania first game
is scheduled for next Friday, when
the Quakers will line up on Franklin
Field against the Dickinson nine.

WASHINGTON, d. O., March "a
The government is awaiting with no
little interest the result of the hear
ing at Montreal in the extradition
case of Greene and Gaynor. The two
fugitives are to be brought today
before Judge La Fontaine, the Cana
dian extradition commissioner whose
jurisdictions extends over the Do
minion, and from his decision the
only appeal possible for either side
is to the Minister of Justice. There
is no doubt here that the case will
be decided strictly on it's merits, nor
is it believed that any undue delay
will be tolerated.

efforts had, prolonged their liberty
for more than two years. On August
10, 1902, Justice Caron handed down
two opinions which nuliffied previous
decisions, and permitted the freedom
of Greene and Gaynor within certain
limits These decisions were severe
ly criticised, even by Sanadian au-
thorities, and did much toward cryst-
alizng public sentiment against the
further protection of the American
fugitives. An appeal was immediate

States to the Privy Council of Eng

the effect of ordering the renewal

BRITISH QUESTION PEACE.
Believe Russia VIII Fight Until She
Is Worn Out,

LONDON-The announcement of
fall of Mukden was discounted in
London by the reports chrcnicling the
actual occupation of the capital of
Manchuria by the Japanese is the sub
ject of comment everywhere, especial
ly in diplomatic circles. The foreign
office declined to comment on the
event, but there, as elsewhere, there
vas intense interest in the result of
the Japanese encircling movement
and its possible effect on the future
progress Of the war. Few who are
well informed are inclined to the be
lief that Oyama's magnificent victory
and successful strategy would bring
peace within measurable distance. the
opinion being that while the Russian
fighting force is disabled and prob
ably will be Obliged to retire further
than Tie pass or even Hardin, the
fighting spirit of the Russian nation
would be increased rather than de-
tered by the defeat, and that only
compulsion viii bring the nation to its
knees.

hopelessness of the struggle.
