HICKS PERFECT CONTROL.
Once Made "a Lot of Trouble by Re-
fnsIng 10 Get Angry.


Charley Hickman. the local outhelder,
once made Bill Armour a peck Of
trouble just by not working himself
into d fury of Indignation
Hick hadn't been hitting much for
.he Tigers in the spring Of 1905. TIL one
day the Maps went to Detroit. and
Dusty Rhoades went in to pitch On
TWO occasions that day Cheerful
whacked Mr. Rhoades most select Of
ferings over the left field fence. and
Detroit won by a score Of , TO 0. or
thercabouts.
Rhoades had been in fine form. and
the liberties taken with his delivery by
Hickman ranked decply- He nOur-
ished his wrongs for the rest of the
series. and the two clubs left Detroit
for Cleveland on the same boat with
Dusty still grouchy.
IT. tho evening on the lake. Rhoades
drew Hickman aside and informed the
Tiger that he ives sure that Hick would
never have hit the ball that way. had
he not known beforehand by some dark
and mysterious method just what
Catcher Bemis' signals We're. HEX
laughed at the accusation. but didn't
DENY fl. and Rhoadcs went his way Ger
tain that Hickman had taken an unfair
advantage OF him.
The next morning Rhoades laid his
case before Vice President SOmeTs. Of
the Cleveland club. SOmers promptly
notified President Ban Johnson that he
had good reason to believe that Detroit
was working a signal bureau on its
home grounds. Ban came back at
Armour with terrible censure, and the
Detroit contingent had an awful time
sqUzrIug itself. though there was moth
ing in it, Hickman was soon after re-
leased from the club roll.

noon the varsity squad was called out
1t numbers thirty five men. and in
cludes Bacon, Richardson, Tappan, Fish.
Morgan, and Glass, OF the last years
eight
OF the new men the most promising
appear 10 be Amberg. of the '0S fresh
man crew: Mulligan. Lunt. and Faux
ner, of the last years freshman crew,
and Burr. the football guard. Burr
played first base on the nine last year
but feels he is not a natural ball
player, and has decided to try for the
crew this spring.
The freshmen viii work on the ma
chimes. and the varsity Will row in the
tank until the weather permits the
crews to 90 ont on the river.
The battery candidates for the Har-
ward nine this spring have started

4 FANS MIDwINTER DREAM.

We were crowded on the bleachers.
And the game was yearly Ger.
For the Monarchs had us going
To the tune Of five to f0ur.
'Tis a fearful thing IN winter
To sit through such suspense
Add vainiy hope the next man up
WIN smash il past the fence.
So we shuddcred there in silence
Ont in Saratoga Field.
Bad Bin shed tears Of anguish.
And for sOuOw almost squealed,
Just then some fellow whispered
As he shook our icy hand.
Buds MP. with Bad Bill next;
Ncu know they've got TO land.
For both their wives are looking on;
They can't afford % fail
Then Bud wiped his hands in snow
And came up looking pale-
Tho fat enc cracked it for three bags
Amid the Joyous DIN;
Bad Bill broke beth TIE shortstCp's legs,
And both Of thcm trailed In.
Then we rose to cheer the heroes
With loag and lusty shout
Aud fell out ON the cold, cold floor
And found the IRE was ont.

CASE OF jim COONEY.
Princeton Is Not Likely to Lose Her
Baseball Captain.

Princeton men in Washington place
little credence in the report which was
printed on Wednesday to the effect
that Jim Cooney. the star Tiger athlete,
and captain of the varsity baseball
team. is to be dropped from the univer-
sity because of low standing in class.
There is little likelihood that Stannard
will be able to pun through. as he has
had trouble with his studies before.
ard he may be unable to remain in the
university another year.
The Princeton baseball schedule,
which will be published in a few days,
will be one OF the longest of any Of
the big colleges. There will be about
thirty-fve games on the list, including
one with the New York Nationals. Don
Doyle, who pitched during his time in
college is coach

 the Circumstances.

Five-year-old Lewis had on several occasions successfully evaded his nurse. and paid surreptitious and de- lightful visits to the workmen on an apartment house in process of build ing at the corner of his block As the result of his observations there he un- concsrnedly and without prejudice emitted a choice and varied assort- ment of profanity at the luncheon table. His shocked mother tried to impress upon him that never, never again must he repeat such words. But Lewis ei.hsr lacked discrimina- tion or his parents warning had not been sufficiently impressive, for a few days afterward he vented a notable addition to his vocabulary of exple- tives. His mother this time waited not for speech, but promptly and firmly seized the young man and washed his mouth out with soapsuds, which she had already demonstrated as an effectual spiritual cleanser A few days afterward Lewis was watch ing the nurse give his six-weeks-old sister her bath, and when nurse care fully washed out the little mouth Lewis asked interestedly: Nurse, has baby been saying naughty words?"
