baseball leagues have been drawing
many players from the college teams.

players is flowing into the leagues.
This has benefited the game materially.

standard, and the sport today is on Il
higher plane than it has ever been
before.

leagues college men have made good"

ator Clapp of Minnesota, who had
made vigorous protest against the
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-06-07

withdrawal OF a part Of the garrison
from Fort Smelling:
1t is not proposed to remove cav
airy from Fort Smelling. So far as the
cavalry at Forts Assiniboine and Ke-
ogh are concerned, the absence Of
troops In Cuba and the necessity for
concentrating squadrons into regi-
ments requires the removal Of the
squadrons at Fort Assiniboine and Ke-
ogh, which has long been contemplat-
ed. The order has been announced,
but will not become effective until
long after 1 am at Minneapolis, and
the matter can be discussed there II
1t is though wise.
