behind him stood intently watching the now cooling
metal Within the laboratory all was silence
From the adjoining buildings came the regular
sound of hammers, and from somewhere off toward
the cabins mans voice was raised in a song Of
soldiery. The sheet of metal lost its color and be-

above his head, and cooling sprays began disspat-

this season and then retire lie has been
playing with major league teams since 1885
and Il was not until last year that he began
TO show the effects Of the long gruelling.
The average playing career OF a major
league star Il about ten years, although
many players have remained in fast COM
pany longer than that. Jim ORourke,
who began work on the diamond twenty
five years ago, Is still able 20 catch for the
Bridgeport team while George Van Hal
tren, who pitched for Ansons Chicagos as
farback as 1881, is playing yet with a Cali
fornia club.
In 1894 the New Yorks won the Temple
cup from the Baitimores. champions OF the
National league. Nearly all OF the players
who took part in that memorable series
have dropped out Of base ball OF the New
York team, John NJ. Ward is a lawyer in
this city Jack Doyle Is the manager OF the
Milwaukee club; Shorty Fuller is dead;
George Davis Is with the White Sox; Eddie
Burke has retired; Mike Herman is Har-

would be only too easy. Simply a case
OF tipping the ball from Ryan TO Melitzer
and then with Kelnath TO come up and
help, Melitzer would be able to block on

took a shot
Noyes was considered a very good
guard. With Hurley on his game there
would be no question Of Noyes. However,
It will bear looking at TO see which one
Of these two men did the more scoring
In list which follows Hurley is credited
with s. points, OF which 30 we're from foul
goals. Noyes was marked with - points,
Of which 16 were from fouls. In other
words, Hurley scored nine more field goals
than Noyes, in spite OF his supposed
greater inaction. 1t would perhaps be
fairer 70 give Hurley the place. He would
be by all odds the man to leave in back
when the other guard and the forwards
and center we're up the floor.
Ryan OF Columbia Is by all odds the best
center. No man outjumped him. He was
a good shot and played we'll on the de-
fensive. He handled the bail well and was
very active player, despite his weight.
He outplayed all the men who faced him
throughout the season.
The choice, then, Is made UP as fol-
lows: Forwards, Kinney, Yale; Neither,
Columbia: center, Ryan, Columbia: guards,
Keinath, Pennsylvania; Hurley, Columbia.

all-coIlegiate Ave. It Is just the state OF
afYairs exactly. The Yale team was feed
ing Kinney and fed him so successfully
that a championship came out OF H.
Pennsylvania was apparently the best
team in the league and its best man was
Keinath. But Columbia plays a better
team game and had certainly the three
men named who were better than others.
Among those who deserved mention were
Cutheu and Armstrong Of Columbia, Cliff
ford and Van Week Of Yale, Flint Of Penn
sylvania, Halliday Of Princeton, Durham
OF Harvard and Bird OF Cornell.
Interesting figures of the work of the
college basket ball players have been made
ND. Kinney, the Yale player, scored
heaviest. He made 81 points out of 25
Tailed by his team in the season, though
he did not play In the Anal game with
Harvard, being debarred by the Yale fac
ulty. He made thirty-one field goals, more
than any other player in the league, but
his scoring from fouls was not as good
as that OF Flint OF Pennsylvania who was
second, or OF Hurley OF Columbia, who was
fourth.
Flint was by all odds the best man in the
intercollegiate league last year, but he was
only second this time. He did not take
part in all the games Of the league
schedule. BY way OF explanation OF this
Il comes from Philadelphia that there was
jealousy between himself and Keinath, an
other Pennsylvania player. The team work
was broken up by the ill-feeling between
the two men and the only way to improve
the play was for one or the other OF the
PLAYERS TO be out Of the game II Is not
a little to this that the poor showing OF
Pennsylvania is assigned.
To return 10 the scores, Flint made 60
points in the season in seven games. He
made only l6 field goals, but had the high
est total OF foul goals, making 81 points
in that way. Keinath. his teammate, and
II reports be true his rival, scored 60 points.
OF which there was 81 field goals and IS
foul goals Hurley OF Columbia made
hne record, finishing fourth He Tailed
81 poInts, made up Of Is goals from the
noor and the second highest total OF foul
GOALS OF which he made 80, The NTH man
was the Princeton captain, Halliday, who
was the star OF a weak team and has since
been reelected. Halliday had % points,
remarkably enough all being made on field
goals. Like Hurley, Halliday played the
full ten games.
Clark OF Princeton was sixth according
10 the record making 50 points in ten
games from IS field goals and "a foul goals
Bird OF Cornell was seventh, with the same
number OF points, but made two field goals
less A. Ryan OF Princeton was eighth
with 40 points; Brown OF Harvard ninth
with the same number, but he, too scored
less OF the more valuable field goals.
Cuthen. the Columbia captain, was tenth
with IS points.
II Is a curious commentary that Prince
ton which won only two games and was
next 90 last, had three men IN the FIRST
team. more than any one other college
