BASE BALL, RACING
AND OTHER SPORTS

1t looked for a few minutes as though ne
would be lucky to get of the field outside
of an ambulance Powell shot one h!gh
and fast and It failed to break. Either
Mig failed to see the ball coming or he
judged that it would break In. as he did
not make a move to get away. The ball
landed with a crack that could be heard
all over the stands. and Perrine went down
in heap. Application of ice water brought
him to and he was assisted to the bench.
where a couple Of doctors attended him.
Hickman literally murdered the ball. Of
ficially up four times, his other turn at the
plate resulting In walk. he drove out four
singing hits. One was his home-run drive
into the bleachers, while another in the
seventh inning went for double OF the
two singles he drew. the first was a hot
grounder past short and the other was a
line drive to left.
Yeager lost hit in the third, when he
drove a hot liner right at MIL the latter
making fine stop.
Yeager made q brilliant play on Heydon's
hit In the third inning. Hickman was on
first at the time. and Heydon drove one
right over the bag at second. Yeaser
raced over for phenomenal stop. and then
made a quick back-hand pass to Niles just
in time to nip Hickman.
Powell. not satisfied with putting Perrine
on watch in the SECOND inning came near
sending Heydon to the hospital in the
third strike. the bat coming around and
giving the Washington catcher a rap on
the knuckles. Powell by the way. was
the first one to rush up to Perrine when
the latter went down. and he hustled ice
water like good fellow until Mig was
able to get up and go to the bench.
1eager did funny stunt in the sixth
inning when he dropped Ganley's line drive
and then threw Bob out al first. Had not
Ganley quit running when he saw the ball
hit Yeager's glove he would have been safe
with almost certainty.
That was an out-o -the-ortlinary break of
Ganleys in the seventh inning. and some
Of those who scored the game insisted that
either Ganley or Heydon should be given
an error. though neither was entitled to
one for the play Niles was on second,

HELD. Harry started with the crack of the
Dat. as two were out at the time, and he
came home. 1t was even break as to
whether he would reach the plate or not or
possibly the chance was somewhat in his
favor owing to his speed. The throw was
low and 1t shot around the ground under
Heydons glove to the grand stand and re-
bounded from the latter. Pickering in the
meantime had taken second the throw,
as he was entitled to. Had he gained an
extra base there would have been an error
coming.

HITS BACK AT ROCKEFELLER.
Chicago University Resents His Re-
mark on Failures.

| CHICAGO. July 10.-Disappointment
| voiced by John d. Rockefeller over the fall
| ure OF the University Of Chicago to pro-
duce more successes was interpreted as a
! slap at the university, and those connected
| with the institution have slapped right
| back at the man whose gifts OF millions
| made the Midway institution possible Mr..
| Rockefeler's statement was as follows:
THE only regret L have concerning the
| university Is that there are not as many
| men as successful l had hoped they
would be after their schooling there. Blu.
am advised by many friends and / hold
that II the future Will show that 1t was a
wise undertaking / shall be satisfied"
Nothing In the history of the university
has stirred the campus occupants more
than this statement.
Members of the faculty and almost the
entire student body attending the summer
course aired their Views of Mr.. Rookie
feliers remark Among the points made
against him are these:
1t is impossible to interpret Mr. Rookie
feHer's meaning Of success. II success
means making money. probably not many
as Mr. Rockefeller might wish In propor-
ton to Its short existence sixteen years,
| the university probably turns out as many
successful men and women as any other
| institution in the United States Making
money alone does not necessarily mean
success. The business course is most prac-
students the opportunity to brush II up
against SO many successful business men
as In Chicago. Theory. thoroughness. appli-
cation to duties and hard work are taught
the primary principles that shou.u mako
graduates successful.
Harry Pratt Judson. president OF the uni
versity, declined to discuss Mr.. Rockefel-
iers statement. He declared that he re-
fused to discuss anything except facts, and
that statement made Is not necessarily
fact. and that it's discussion would be
beneficial to no one.
Il question Mr.. Rockefeler's statement
that the University of Chicago Is turning
out unsuccessful men," declared Dean
James Parker Hall OF the law school. Mr..
Rockefeller is not in a position to soy
whether this is So continued Dean Hall.
Why. ask the president of any university
in the country whether his school is turn
ing out successful Internationally sue
cessful. mind you-and he will not answer
you offhand. 1t will take research of days
and even weeks to ascertain the truth or
falsity of the contention.
las for the law school, / am convinced
that we are not turning out unsuccessful
men. Our graduates are uniformly as
successful as any law school In the coun-
try"
Vigorous defenses Of the university's
scholastic standards also were made by
Deans Shepardson and Lovett.
