ALL PROS ON COLLEGE TEAM.
Iowa University Baseball Players Make
Wit They Are Ineligible.

The University Of Iowa has been shocked to
its Utmost by the frank announcement of nine
| veteran players on the baseball nine who have
made affidavit that they played profes sional
baseball during the summer OF 1905. and
therefore do not consider themselves eligi-
BILE to play any more. The surprising state Of
affairs is II that the men have come out openly,
when they were not In the least suspected
and have made their shortcomings so plain
The incident is thoroughly unique on all
sides.
The announcement practically takes the
| entire Iowa team out of the field. The players
who admitted their guilt are capt. Dennis.
first base; /, Yesler. pitcher: A. Yesler, third
base; McCregor. shortstop; Cratameyer,
pitcher; Gibbs. second base: Hummeston.
catcher: Johnson. pitcher. and Burkheimer,
outfielder. These men. when asked TO sign the
eli gibility blanks. announced that they all
had played on professional teams. They
added. moreover, that they thought 1t safe
to say that there was not in the United States
a single player on any college team who was
worth anything as a ball player who was an
amateur.
! athletic board ~ control to play summer base,
ball. In tn" Western colleges IL Is allowed
by the conference rules Tor athletic boards
that they are not going TO receive money,
Under the impression that the team Of Max
| such a permit was issued to Dennis, the Yes
Ter brothers. Gibbs and NlacGregor.. The
team is professional, however. Burkhelmer
played in the Southern Iowa League, Hum
meston and Crat2meyer with the Central
Iowa League and johnson with an independ-
ent professional club.
The players cleared up a considerable doubt
by explaining that, previous to the summer
of 1905 they were clean amateurs and, there
fore, perfectly eligible up to that time. All
these players except Burkhelmer have been
regular players on the Iowa team for at least
g year.
The nine players were going to form a team
to play professional baseball, in Iowa or Chi
| oago, but the athletic board OF control has
arranged for these men to stay In college ana
play games against the simon pures who
still are in the university.
Dave Fultz. the former centrelelder OF The
New York American League team, recently
said that the rules IN the colleges about pro-
fcssionalism induced the athletes to evade
the avs dishonesty. The low baseball
players evidently are a different sort. They
have no deRi re TO eNndn.

LOCK UP PRISON Ward.
Bellevue Much Worried by New Order to
Lonely Night Police Guard.

There was much common at Bellevue
last night over a new order governing the
police detail in charge of the prison ward.
This order was to the effect that the sole
policeman on duty there IL called away by
any outside emergency should carefully
lock up the ward and take the key with
him.
There are often from twenty-five to fifty
patients in the ward, and II was pointed
out that during the policeman's absence it
would be impossible for a doctor to reach
them or for any one to prevent violence In
the ward or to rescue the inmates In case
of danger.
COMMISSIONS Bingham reduced the de-
tail at Bellevue Of March l to a roundsman
and three p%atrolmen: Since then the night
force has consisted Of one patrolman. Supt.
Armstrong OF the hospital was not alto
gether pleased at this, and wrote a letter
TO COMMISSIONS Bingham. Deputy Com
missioner Waldo yesterday had a talk with
Mr.. Armstrong in regard to the matter.
It was after this talk that the order was
received concerning the arrangements ct

ATHLETES ARE DESERVING.
western College Men Afraid They VIII No
Get a Chance to Compete.

Thu tangled up condition Of athletic af-
fairs in the Western colleges has resulted
In a wholesale deserving of certain OF the col
leges by their athletes. Most Of them have
left college to get positions elsewhere because
they do not think they will be able to COM
pete In athletics another year. This un-
certainty arises from the chaos into which
football arguments have placed the Western
colleges. Chicago has lost Marc tatlin. the
track athlete and football player. who, now is
coaching the University OF Iowa track team.
Hugo Bezdek, fullback OF the Chicago foot
ball team. has left to go into business.
Michigan has lost Tom Hammond, the foot
bali player, who has decided that the time Is
ripe FOR him to get to work outside. of college.

gan football stars, have left the university.

n Il CLUB TO MOVE.
VIII Return TO Its Old Quarters and May
ExDei Some Members.

The New York Press Club, which has
been housed for the last five years on the
ninth floor Of the Morton building, has
decided to move on or about April l to its
old home at 12O Nassau street. In order
to pay the rent in the Morton building
the club has been put to various ways to
raise money, some of which have been
more or less discountenanced by many OF
the members.
A special committee OF the board OF
trustees OF the club mad a report to the
board yesterday stating that arrange
ments had been made to cancel its present
lease on advantageous terms and that
by making the change an annual deficit OF
5000 would be turned into a surplus to
he added to the clubs present capital.
The club has a fund of 500, 900.
E. w. Drew, chairman of the board OF
trustees. said last night:
THE Press Clubs reputation has been
brought into disrepute through the ao-
tons OF some of its members. The present
administration has taken steps to end all
comp lalnts against the organization and
the action of the board in bringing about
a condition in which business is consistent
with sentiment ought to show hat the news
paper men in the club have succeeded In
bringing about the restoration OF the con-
ditions that made the club famous"
There was some talk last night by the
malcontents of getting out an injunction
to prevent the cancelling OF the lease, but
the officers said they did not believe that
any such move would be attempted. 1t
was also said that the club would eXpei
a lot of members who had made them
selves Objectionable.

POOR PRINCETON SOCCERS.
Forced by Faculty to Stay at Home, So
They Disbanded.

PRINCETON. March Oft was learned to-
day that the Princeton soccer football team
has disbanded. owing to the decision Of the
Princeton faculty not to allow the soccer man
agement TO arrange for any games which
would call the team out Of town. 1t was said
that there w ere 30 many minor athletic organi-
zati ons which were taking the men out Of
town frequently that the faculty decided
team 10 home games. On this announcement
the team disbanded Withthe g " INNING team,
wrestiing team, track team and varsity and
freshman baseball teams. ZONE Of the students
we're called away to Intercollegiate meets
nearly every week. The line had to be drawn
somewhere, so II was determined to take
ction against the soccer team. The team
had played seven or eight games so far during
the season and was considered a strong

VINELESS BANQUET HALLS.
where Shall Passaic Entertain Secretary
Leslie VI. Shaw.


PAssA1C. N. j., March 9.-The Passaic
Board of Trade is arranging for a banquet
to be given April 8, at which Secretary of
the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw will be the
guest of honor and Gov. Stokes and Senator
Everett Colby will speak.
Now the rules Of the Passaic Club, where
it was thought of holding the banquet
prohibit the serving of alcoholic beverages
and the only other suitable place is Frances
E. Willard Memorial Hall, owned by the
W. C. T. L. The Acquackanonk Club,
wnere there is no objection to pulling corks,
has no room large enough, and there is a
similar objection TO the Chateau Speer,
who h has the only other hall.
The committee is unwilling to cut out the
champagne, and April is rather early for
an out Of door banquet. The difficulty
will probably be overcome by inducing
the management OF the Passaic Theatre to
cancel its evening performance and remove
the seats to make room for tables.
