COLLEGE
BASEBALL TEAMS
Diamond Season Will Open
ON Next Wednesday.
LITTLE OUTDOOR PRACTICE
Columbia, Harvard, and Cornell Have
Bright Prospects for Strong
Mines.

With the opening of the college base
ball season not single squad of the
candidates at the larger Eastern uni
yersities has been able to indulge in
outdoor practice for more than a day
or two.
The prospects for diamond worl: in
the open are far from bright. The. Yale
nipe has arranged to open the season
on next Wednesday,. and Pennsylvania
follows but two days later. In the
meantime, however. the indoor practice
is being pushed at all the colleges, and
the professional coaches have begun the
wedding out process in their efforts to
eliminate undesirable material from the
sqI.;lds. Cuts are reported at Yale,
Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Harvard.
while at Columbia, Coach Billy Lauder
has selected the most promising of the
candidates for special work
Columbia Candidates.
The Columbia squad, under CAPTAIN
Tyler, contains much promising ma
terial. But these men of last seasons
nine are not available. McCarty, 'G7,
and Greenough, 20. from last years
nine, are the logical men for center
and right field at Harvard Stephen

CHAMP WR[STLERS
MAY HAVE FIGHT
Plan to Bring Gotch and
Hackenschmidt Together.
FOREIGNER TAKING LESSONS
Russian Lion" After Dual Crown of
Mat and Ring-Gotch
Is Fast.

Frank Gotch, who, despite his recent
defeat in New York by Tom Jenkins, is
hailed by many as the champion heavy
Gus Shoenlein, of Baltimore, better
known as Americas, at the Washington
Light Infantry Armory on Wednesday
night Gotch is to throw Americas three
times in an hour and should be able to
turn the. trick, but the Baltimorean is
large enough to make the Iowan show
his PAGES.
Gotch made great impression when
he threw Joe Grant three times In half
an hour IL this city because of the talk
about the prospe ct of his meeting Jim
Jeffries for the heavyweight boxing
championship. The spectators at the
Grant match were astonished at his
quickness and agility on his pins. There
was none of the slow, methodical foot
work of the average wrestler, and his
build was in no way that of a muscle
bound man.
Wrestlers Might Box.
In connection with the boxing ambs-
tons of Gotch it has been suggested
that he fight Hackenschmidt, the cham
pion of the world. who is TO exhibit his
prowess in this country. Like all other
wrestlers. Hackenschmidt has ambitions
to become a boxer. and 1t has recently
| leaked out that he has been taking
private lessons for a long time with q
view TO ultimately trying for the dual
wrestling and boxing crown.
The Russian Lion is insistent upon
| his championship matches being al
| Graeco-Roman style, at which style he
defeated Tom Jenkins in London last
year. and there may be a hitch about
getting a match for him with Gotch,
! who is essentially a catch-as- catch-car
man. and only consents to Graeco-Ro-
/ man-when there Is no other way to land
| tween these two great opponents of the
mat game would be highly interesting
and would undoubtedly draw we'll.
Powerful But Not Big.

CLEVER DETECTIVE WORK.
Detective Patton Lands Two Negroes
 Very Adroitly.

HENRY WALKER IS
 GUILTY OF CRIME
JURY FINDS THE DEFENDANT GUILTY OF MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE AND FIXES PUNISH MENT AT DEATH.

Jasper, March 25.-(Special.)-Th jury in the case of Henry Walker, the negro charged with the murder of Mrs Maggie Dickinson at Cordoya, on the night or March 4. 1903, returned a verdict last night at 10 o'clock finding the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree and fixing his punishment at death.
 The hearing of the testimony in the case was concluded yesterday afternoon, the attorneys on both sides making force ful arguments before the jury. The evi- dence introduced does not differ nla- terially from that offered at the other trials, the counsel for the plaintiff, per- hans. making a stronger case than at the former trials. Mrs. Dickinson's dying de- claration that Henry Walker was her assailant was one of the strong points in the case. A short while before her death at an infirmary in Birmingham, Walker was taken before Mrs. Dickinson by Sheriff Jack Moore. and she positively identified the negro as the man who com mjtted the crime The S-year-old son of Mrs. Dickinson was introduced as wit ress in the case and his testimony cor roborated his former statements. Notwith- standing the strong evidence presented by the prosecution, the attorneys for the de- fendant made determined fight for the prisoner, and there is doubt of the negro's s guilt among some.

BROKE INTO JAIL.
Young Man Persisted In Efforts to See
 One of the Prisoners.

Despite all efforts of the police and city jail officials, R. l.. Landrum, a young white man, broke into jail last night at midnight. At that hour he came to the jail and asked to see one of the prisoners. He was refused admission at that time of night by Assistant Warden Alex Ritten- berry, who told him to call today if he wished to see any of the prisoners.
 He left the warden's office seemingly very much disappointed and a few min utes later was discovered trying to com municate with the prisoners from the rear of the jail. He was ordered away on pain of being arrested but he was per sistent and some minutes later was again discovered trying to break into the rear of the jail. He was graciously given a berth on the inside by Officer Nix and the word lettering was written on the war den's register opposite his name.
