Some of the base ball writer's
of the Goth century school," said
Dobe Tanning. ARE complaining
over the reserve rule and talking
of traffic in human flesh II
sounds well, of course, but let me
quote you the wisest words that
have yet been uttered on the re-
serve rule, in 1856 when the Broth
erhood was organized. John M.
Ward said: In order to get men
to invest capital in base ball it is
necessary to have a reserve rule.
Some say this could be modified,
but am not of that opinion. How
could it be modified? say, for in
stance. we begin this season by
reserving men for only two, three
four or even five years. At the ex-
piration of that period players
would be free to go where they
pleased-and capitalists who in
vested say $4,000 or 500 900,
would have nothing but the ground
and grand stand to represent their
outlay. 1t would be unfair to re.
serve one man for two and another
for five years. The reserve rule,
on the whole, is a bad one: but It
cannot be rectified without injur-
ing the interests of the men who
invest their money"

my Manning. THE rivalry be-
tween the clubs is of financial ben
eft to the players, as the salaries
today are better than ever before.
The two leagues make a greater
demand for good base ball talent
and they help stimulate interest in
the towns in which two clubs are
located. The pennant race Is
practically decided by July Is, so
that the interest in the home team
has a local bearing on the fans
that would be lacking were there
only one team in town. The

BROWN STUDENTS
MADEMERRY At
THE IMPERIAL

The Imperial theatre was one blaze of
Brown glory last night. when the Brown
boys occupied the whole first floor and
the boxes, and added TO the excellent
regular performance their songs and
cheers.
The opening musical farce had not pro-
gressed far when the several members OF
the company were greeted with Xxi VI
and other college yells that reverberated
through the house and forced the per-
formers gracefully TO bow their apprecia-
ton. The chorus were especially Favored
with these outbursts. while the male mem
bers who so far forgot themselves as 10
appear bedecked in headgear were told by
no mistakable shouts TO remove the Of
Tending hats.
Jeanette Dupree who assumes the lead
ing role easily won the hearts or the coll
lege boys; and when she rendered her
solos they Joined her In the chorus,
making the house ring with lusty voices.
Each member of the company wore
conspicuously small Brown flag. and the
whole performance was distinctly sug-
gestive OF the university.
Telegrams were read from the stage pur-
porting to be addressed 90 several mem
bers OF the football team and
with the reading of each the audience
burst forth into voclferous "Rahs." The
climax was reached when jeanette Dupree
irvitinCly held out her arms TO little
Johnny Mahew-who sat In one OF the
lower boxes and beseechingly requested
him TO come on the stage and deliver a
speech The hero OF the field OF battle,
however. could not sum up the necessary
courage: and the audience had TO forego
this pleasure.
Toward the end of the performance, one

boys clambered 10 the stage, where some
assisted in executing the dances with the
chorus TO the intense amusement of the
audience Westervelt endeavored 10
