Departmental Chess League.

The annual meeting of this organization
took place at the Chess Club last Wednes-
day evening" when players were present
from all departments that participated in
the team contest last year. The following
officers were elected for the coming sea-
son: President, ]. Roberts, Agriculture
re-elected); secretary. L. B. Napoleon,
Agriculture: treasurer, w. r. Pratt, In
terror (re-elected). 1t was regretted that
c. L. Smell. Navy. the retiring secretary,
was unable to continue in the office.
After the routine business was disposed
Of an informal discussion Of plans for the
present season was entered upon. It was
finally considered advisable to proceed on
similar lines as last year-that is, to form
q playing schedule calling for a double
round team competition for the depart
ment championship. each team to be
composed Of four men. This number on
q team enables most OF the departments
to participate without difficulty. and some
that are known to have large quota of

ment Printing Office-are expected to en-
ter two teams.
1t was felt that the main object of the
league was to provide recreation for as
large a number as possible. and while a
second team could not. perhaps. expect to
carry off the championship. still the thing
was not impossible where the teams were
not so far removed in strength. and, after
all, as Hamlet says. in chess THE plays

which is composed of the officers and
team captains meets next Wednesday at

evening each week wednesday, at the

''Bill' Neuman, in charge of the Blue
and Gray foot ball squad this season. has
had both a brilliant career as player
and great previous experience as q coach.
He began the game in 1899 on the Ithaca
High eleven. In his first year he made
the team. and his playing during the
next three years was such that the Cor
nell athletic authorities succeeded lin
bringing him to their gridiron on his grad
uation from the prep. school.
That was before the one-year rule was
put in force, and Newman went out for
the varsity as soon as he had matricu-
lated. Although light in weight. he was
all muscle. In his first year he made
center on the Red and White varsity
and played a stubborn and gritty game
throughout the season.
The next year he was again placed
over the ball by Glen Warner. who was
then in charge of the Ithaca crowd He
improved greatly in speed and trickery
under the famous coach from Carlisle.
and before the season was half over Wal
ter Camp began to sit up and take notice
of him as possible All-American center.
But he didn't land the place that year,
as Gable, the giant center of Swarth-
more, was given the much-coveted honor.
1t was q notable fact, however. that
Newman played rings around Gable In
the Corneu-Swarthmore game. The Penn
sylvanian weighed 245 pounds and Neu-
man could only tip the scales at 165.
In 1905 Neuman made the All-Amertcan
During this season the whole athletic
press of the east gave him great praise
for his extraordinary playing. and every
one who knew anything about foot ball
considered 1t marvellous that man Of his
weight was able to carry opponents OF
900 pounds, and even 240 pounds off their
feet.
The next year. 1906. he was again chosen
for the All-American. 1t was during this
season that he had many chances to
show his grit. Especially was this so in
the Pennsylvania game. In this contest
he played. against Ziegler. we'll known as
a great Red and Blue lineman, and suf-
fered a broken nose in the first part of
the game. Although very painful in
jury, 1t did not deter Neuman for he
finished the game and played Ziegler to
standstill. This was his last year on
the gridiron. When he left Cornell he
was one Of the most popular men in his
class, and there was genuine regret ex-
pressed on all sides that he could not
play longer.
The next year Warner. who had return
ed to Carlisle. engaged him to coach the
Indians line. He showed such ability as
a teacher of tactics and tricks that before
last season was half gone he had practi-
cally become head field coach OF the Red
skins. The record made by the copper
colored warriors during last season

The first base ball school for professional
players ever organized Is to be conducted
by Manager Henry Berry Of the Los An
geles team Of the Pacific Coast League
and Manager ]. B. Lehigh of Chutes
Park. after plans originated by w. H.
Leonard. q local sporting editor.
Southern California is the mecca Of a
large number Of young ball players during
the winter. and hundreds of amateurs are
developed, many Of whom are willing to
take up professional base ball and are
capable of doing so II given the chance
and little assistance.
It Is proposed to sign all aspiring play
ers to contracts of the Los Angeles team
and then put them under the instructions
Of two or more Of the veteran members
Of the coast league team. All such as
show aptitude for the professional game
Of the game. Others will be released and
new men taken on in their places.
Those players who make good and show
talent will be placed to the best advan-
tage. The Los Angeles team will retain
such as 1t needs: the others will be sold
at such rates as will give the men the
best chance and give the purchasing clubs
an opportunity to get valuable men at a
nominal cost.
Scouts from all the leagues, major and
minor. are to be invited to inspect the
players during the winter season. and Sc
lect such men as they desire. Otherwise
men will be delivered on application to
play positions desired. the right to pur-
chase being optional on the men making
good. Such men are to be delivered on
recommendation OF Manager Berry and
his assistants.
Practice in OF Season.
1t is proposed to conduct daily practice
during the OF season and to play games
Saturdays. Sundays and holidays. On
other. days two or three hours morning
and afternoon practice will be INDUCED
In. and l. ..erd evening a fve-inning or
full game VIII be played with picked
mines. Two regular clubs are to be organ
lied. one to represent the Los Angeles

conducted. Each of the mines will be man.
