COOPER REELECTED
GALLAUDET CAPTAIN
Mutes Won Eleven Of Eight
cen Games Played
This Season.

William Cooper. or New Bedford.
Mass, captain and shortstop Of the Cal
laudet College baseball team. has been
unanimously reelected By his team
mates 10 the Office he has so capably
filed for the past two seasons. There
Is no doubt Of the ratification OF his
election at the next meeting Of the col
leEe athletic association.
Starting the season with new men and
substitutes from last years nine. Cooper
has built up a team which. working in
perfect harmony, has made a better rec
ord than has any other team represent
ing the college in several years. In
spite Of occasional slumps the team has
had the confidence and the warm sup
port Of the student body, and has won
eleven out of a total Of eighteen games
played.
The team has been woefully weak at
the bat, but has won out By fast field
ing. especially in the inheld. where
O'DonneH. AT first and in the box, has
an average OF -969, Cooper, at shorS
who covers far more than his share Of
territory, has SIS; Bell, at second is
just one point behind him, and Hover,
at third, shows 40.

for his build. Hover has a habit Of
sandwiching errors between brilliant
playing. Morris is another newcomer
who has made good, both as catcher and
outtielder. Because of superior head
work, Harper replaced him behind the
bat when his throwing arm got in shape
The development OF O'DOnneII in the
box was a surprise. and proved a great
piece of good fortune for the team. AS
all OF the present nine, with the excep-
ton OF Horton, VIII return TO school

are for the strongest team in the history

the Nevadans accepted an invitation TO

Not yet-but soon.
Such is the status of the release of
Lave Cross by the Washington ball club.
The grand old man of the game, who
started twenty-three years ago as a
catcher for Sanduszy. Ohio. and has
been a star ever since. has almost run
his course in Washington. but Manager
Cantillon has not released him. as was
stated this morning. If he is released at
all it may not be for some days or even
weeks.
Why there should have been such
haste in discussing the matter of re-
leasing Cross is hard to see. He has
not been covering as much ground as
he did In years gone by. and his batting
has been weak, but Willie Keller and
George Stone are batting around 200,
and the slump in sticking has-been gen
eral this season. Cross weakness with
the wagon tongue has not been suf-
ficient TO warrant his being dropped from
the rolls Of the club.
In the matter Of fielding Cross has
not been SO spry as ne might have been,
in the eyes Of captious critics, but he
is still there in the clean handling or
slow ones. and in the past ten days
has made stops and throws which few
third sackers in either league would
have accepted without error. Third
basemen OF intelligence and baseball in
tuition, as well as mechanical ability.
are one Of the scarcest commodities in
the game.
The youngsters do many daring deeds
and spread themselves over lots Of ter
rltory but you see few OF them sup
planting the old stagers who have made
good by their headwork as well as with
their hands. and Cross today is more
valuable than many of the phenoms
who are being touted in other cities
1t might have been well to wait awhile
before deciding that his course here has
been run.

association to produce the letters al

Gen. u. S. Grant, Gen. George II.
