The grand jury returned in
dictments against Fred Watson

Wilson's clothing store. The two

fore on the, same charge, when
no true bill was found. Immedi-
ately after being set at liberty
they became intoxicated and
tried to maui everybody in sight.
They are also charged with at.
tempting to escape from jail.
Thru their attorney, w. N. Crane,
they entered a plea of not guilty
to the charges.

ON SUMMER BASE BALL
FORMER BROWN STAR DEFENDS
PRACTICE NOW ATTACKED.

NEW YORK. December 3O.-In view OF
the determined attempt that is to be made
by the intercollegiate Athletic Association
to eradicate or at least modify the play
ing of summer base ball" by college
students. the ideas of Dave Fultz. former
center fielder of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics, are interesting. Futz's views fol-
low:
IT see no reason why the bona fde
college student of good standing and good
moral character who engages in athletics
for money during the summer months as
a means Of obtaining his education. should
not represent his college. Our students
sing in churches or in summer opera
companies and then return to college and
sing on our glee clubs: the writer may
contribute to newspapers and magazines
and still write for our college publications.
He of much wisdom may coach the de-
linouent student. and still represent our
debating club. All this is done for money,
but the ethical status is never questioned.
I'VE are prone to view this question
from but one standpoint. In many cases
the man has not taken money simply for
moneys sake. but because he is in sore
need of it, and then they say, oh, there
Is nothing wrong in a mans playing for
,s,oney, only he should not afterward play
.. college teams Why not, If he has
Ene no wrong? Are two rights ever re-
pugnant in princ.ple?
During his days as a student at Brown
University, Fultz was one OF the best ball
players in the college ranks.

MAY PLAY IN TOURNEY
AMERICAN GOLFERS MAY. GO TO
LONDON NEXT JUNE.

The Olympic golf tournament is to be
held on June 1. and 3 over the Deal
course. which was recently admitted as
one Of the championship links of Great
Britain. Already plans are under way
in this country for a strong representa-
ton in the Olympic athletic games to be
held in London, but just what America
purposes doing as regards golf is at pres
ent largely a matter OF conjecture.
The Amateur Athletic Union has turned
the golf part Of the program over to the
United States Golf Association. but thus
far the latter has taken no official action.
There are those who would like to see this
country represented at Deal In June, and
they believe it would simplify matters IL
the parent body here would select team
of. say, four amateurs and uefray the
expenses of such team while abroad.
The United States Golf Association has
| more than $4,000 in its treasury, so that
the matter of expense need not neces-
sarily stand In the way. AS for the play
champion. H. Chandler Egan. Walter J.
Travis and Fred Herreshoff would con-
stitute quartet hard to beat. The United
States Golf Association paid no attention
to the Olympic golf competition held at
st. Louis during the worlds fair In 1904.
So far as Deal is concerned. there has
been no end Of comment abroad pro and
con over its right TO be classed among the
championship links It Is a fact that
there are sixteen cross bunkers and seven
blind approaches. The play Is for the
most part fairly straight both out and In.
which suggests certain element Of
sameness.

known fact that II. r. H. Prince George
OF Greece was compelled to declare him
not fit companion for most of'the other
American athletes.
Maintaining discipline among the ath-
letes on the Athens trip was quite task.
At a dinner given to the victorious Amer

congratu!atory cablegram to the Ameri-
can team was read by w. A. Schick of
Harvard University, and afterward passed
down the table for each athlete to read.
the cablegram did not pass more than
two members of the Irish American Ath-
letic Club. when it disappeared and has
not since been seen, although l have re-
peatedly demanded it from the athlete in
whose hands 1t was last seen.
1T Is significant fact that my man.
agement of the American team has not
been criticised by the college element that
took part at Athens. This further bears
out my contention that the present at
lacks are entirely due to my athletic &C
tivities before the Athens trip took place
AS the matter now stands the contro-
rersy savors more of schoolboy quar-
rel than between men of intelligence and
wide experience. 1t is petty, childish and
unworthy of men of standing in the com
munity. and cannot help bat reflect upon
the individuals in particular and Amer
lean amateur athletics in general.

CHAMPIONSHIP BILLIARDS.
Sutton to Play Morningstar and
Schaefer to Meet Cutler.

NEW YORK, December 36.-Dates have
been fixed and halls engaged for the first
two big billiard matches of the season,
Jacob Schaefer meeting Albert Cutler, the
Boston challenger, in Horticultural Hall,
Philadelphia, January %, at 1871 balkline,
and George Sutton playing Ora Morning
star in Lenox Lyceum Hall, 59th street
and Madison avenue, this city, January
q. at 1872 balknne.
The two contests are for the world
championship emblems. now held by
Schaefer and Sutton, and 500 side, as
provided in the rules governing the en-
blems, and gate receipts.
The challengers are two of the youngest
players in the profession. and as each
has developed great speed in the style of
game for which he has challenged. their
contests with the old masters should be
Of special interest.
Cutler will practice in Boston and
Schaefer in Chicago for their games, the
latter coming east about two weeks before
the match. Sutton returned to Chicago
on Saturday and will meet Schafer in ex-
hibition games at both 18.1 and 1872
balkline in St. Louis. Milwaukee and other
western cities Sutton will come east about
January IA and finish his practice here.
Morningstar is in ST. Louis. but will come
east two weeks before the game here.

who has been knocking out all the men
he fights. Papke is not schooled In box
ing. He knows nothing except to wade
In and beat down a man by brute force.
He can stand toe to toe and trade
wallops with anybody. He can survive
the stiffest kind of punishment and be
strong enough in the end to finish his
man. Papke revels in warm pace, the
only kind Of milling with which he Is &C.
quainted He has never before met as
good a man as Kelly.
If he can hit Kelly with any degree
of frequency, he should win. Kelly, how
ever. will try to jab the hard hitter
away and let Papke wear himself out.
If Kellys GOODNESS and science do not
desert him, he should at least earn the
decision; but there is always the chance
that Papke may slip over one Of his
Gripping punches.
Kelly will have to be extraordinarily
alert to save himself. One little departure
from his usual methods may be his I'M
doing.
Papke will meet asstyle of fighter he
has never before faced. 1t will be left
for him to prove what he can do against
man who will be avoiding his leads
and jabbing back In return. 1t takes the
heart cut of many a fighter when he sees
that he cannot reach his opponent.
The one circumstance to mar the bout
may not think that the modest purse Of
fered for a fight In Milwaukee is incen-
tive enough to do his best work. The
pair may be playing for a bigger purse
and longer fight in San Francisco. In
justice to the men there Is nothing to
warrant the belief that there is frame
up.

EASY way OF LETTING IT OUT
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION WILL
ASK FOR CHICAGO FRANCHISE.
Unanimous Vote in Favor Of Such q
Move-Major Leagues Will
Not Consent.

CHICAGO December 3O.-The Ameri-
can Association of Base Ball Clubs has
gone on record as favoring the transfer
of the st. Paul club to Chicago.
At the annual meeting at the Audi
torium annex yesterday afternoon it was
decided by a unanimous vote that such
a change would be an excellent move,
and President J. D. O'Brien was author
lied to confer with the national commits
sion at its meeting in Cincinnati January
6 and try to arrange such deal.
On the surface this looks like a good
start for the invaders, but it is declared
to be in reality an easy way Of letting the
association out on the long end of stiff
bluff without admitting that it was re-
treating.
Ban johnson Laughs.
The idea of the national commission
considering the proposition was laughed
at by President Ban johnson of the
American League who declares that q
proposition to give up territorial rights
in Chicago or any other city must be de-
cided by a vote Of eighteen clubs In the
two major leagues.
THE national commission does not
have the authority to pass on a change in
the circuit of any of the leagues said
President Johnson. The vote Of every
club owner in the American and National
leagues would be required for such q
grant, and 1 know that the American
League magnates are opposed to such IN
vasion.'
