Andrew Jackson Oyler, for two years
shortstop of the Minneapolis baseball
team, will not play with the Millers in
1906. The little chap had signed con-
tract, but at the urgent request of his
parents, who objected to his playing
baseball on Sunday, and to take care
of an uncle who is an invalid, Oyler
will quit the greensward, and so in
formed Magnate Kelley yesterday.
Oyler's ball playing was always
matter Of choice and not necessity, as
his parents and relatives are we'll to
do. They have objected to Andrew J.
playing baseball for several years, but
he has heretofore had his way and was,
everywhere on the circuit, regarded as
one of the coming players. Yesterday
afternoon President Kelley received a
letter from Oyler, written from Red
Creek, N. Y, in which the shortstop an
nounced his intention of quitting the
diamond. He said he was in New York
state with his uncle, who was very ill,
and that the uncle had finally prevailed
upon him to quit baseball and remain
| with him this summer. Oyler has
business chance under this relative,
and this, coupled with the wishes of his
parents, brought about the decision.
The news that Oyler is not to wear
Minneapolis uniform this season will
be received with genuine regret by the
thousands of fans in the city. Oylor
was one Of the most popular profess
sional baseball players who ever worked
on a Minneapolis team and was star
performer. He was lightning fast in the
infeld work, had a whip that was as
sure as rife shot and used his head
all Of the time lin the play. Kelley is
greatly disappointed over the loss of
| Oyler, but says he will attempt to
secure a successor without delay.
The catching staff is not worrying
the local magnate any longer He has
two good men con the way,'' and their
names will be announced in few days.
The deals for the services Of these
backstops have been about closed, but
as contracts and waivers have not been
completed the manager deems it unwise
1 to announce what he is doing.
Plans for the assembling of the team
at Burlington are going On and week
from Monday the season will be on fol-
the local team.

the way of umpiring during the season.
It is his intention to cut out all
rowdyism during the playing season
and any umpire who fails to carry out
his instructions in this respect might
as well send for his yellow envelope.
At the meeting between the umpires
and president it is the intention of
President O'Brien to have each one
offer suggestions as to the best method
of handling players, etc.; in fact, it
will be school Of instruction. There
was not great deal of rowdyism in

New, Orleans, March 17.-Fred

Caesaron, dam Bretzel, won the City
Park derby, the first of it's kind ever
decided over this track, in an easy
manner today from Kercheval, which
was one of the best backed horses in
the race. Minnie Adams was most fan
cied in the betting, and after opening
at 5 to and drifting up to I to 2, was
played down to her original quotation.
Every starter in the race had lot
Of support in the speculation and after
brief delay at the start they were
sent away to good break by Cassidy.
Minnie Adams was first to show out
of the bunch, and Nicol pushed her into
the lead, and getting the rail when
they passed the stand for the first
stand, cut out winning lead of two
lengths and never left the result in
doubt.
+ The pace set by Minnie Adams was
enough to win. the race alone. Nicol
allowed her to step the first quarter in
:23 2-5, and passing the half mile pole
several watches showed ::4S 2-5. Nicol
then took her up bit and the mile
was covered in 1889 1-5, which is con-
sidered remarkable race considering

Cornell Considered Iowan as Coach for
Wrestlers.

Ithaca, n. Y, March 17-Wrestling
is comparatively a new or rather re-
arrived sport at Cornell. For the past
winter there has been much activity in
this line, and so gamely have number
of "husky 'uns" gone at it that the
coaches had aspirations for intereolle-
giate honors.
About this time Frank Gotch wrote
a letter saying he would like to coach
the Ithacans for week or so. This
produced quite little excitement; but,
alas! it was soon found out that Cor
nell was barred from the intercollegiate
contests. And Gotch never came.
1t is a rule Of the Intercollegiate
Wrestling association that university,
before being eligible, must have had a
team for at least one season. Next
year Cornell expects to get in the as

ing hard.
