''BIG EIGHT" WILL TRY
TO PUNISH MICHIGAN

CHICAGO. February l0.-That the invi-
tation extended to Michigan by the grad
uate committee from the big eight con-
ference to participate in the track meet
at Marshall Field was only a meaningless
avoidance Of an awkward position and not
bona fide bid was the announcement
made by an efilcial OF that body Saturday.
who requested his name to be withheld
fer the present. The statement was also
confirmed by a member o. the graduate
committee. The Wolverines will be
snubbed and denied admission, according
to the statement, IL they accept their invi-
tation to take part.
The consideration entering into the big
eight" objection to Michigan's particopa
ton are that Michigan should not be al
lowed to 90 unpunshed by breaking con-
ference rules: that a school just expelled
from the conference stands in a different
relation 10 the big eight than another
outsider. and that Michigan's participa-
ton would tend to. lessen the dignity Of
in athletics.
One rule, concerning which there is some
difference OF opinion. is the ''three-year"
eligible rule. Whether this concerns the
individuals OF the institutions is not clear
Is set down, although more than big
eight leaders believe 1t Is not an indi-
vidual ruling. and therefore will not ap-
ply to outside colleges in the conference
meet 1t Is possible that the Michigan
entries may be rejected on some grounds
such as these.

TY COBB WON'T
GET THE INCREASE

Tyrus Raymond Cobb stands about as
much chance to get that 5000 contract
for three years as an armless and leg
less man would have to climb cactus
tree. says the Detroit Journal. President
Navin has not even answered his letter
which bore the news that he would not
sign the contract offered and stating his
terms. Ten to one Cobb is rushing to the
post Office every time n train rolls into
The little Georgia burg and raising the
same sort of fuss with the postma ster
for not giving him a letter from Navin
tina. he used to raise with the negro
walters when the club was on the road
last season. The club officials haven't
had a worry about Cobb They are de-
termined to let Kim do all the worrying
and there is every indication that he Is
doing it good and plenty.
THE club has the edge on Cobb In this
matter" said one close to base bail head
quarters. because Cobb is the highest
listed human being that ever lived. He
would be the idol of old Russell Sage's
heart. Oh, how he loves money: Never
spends a cent. When the club was trav-
cling he used to spend his mornings in
his berth and miss breakfast so hs could
save the dollar that Schumm had given
him for his breakfast in the buffet car.
For dinner he would save at least 20
cents by buying a pie. sandwich and a
glass of milk at a railway station lunch
counter When Cobb sees the time ar
irving for the pay to start he will make
the bugs heads whirl.''

WORLDS RECORD EaUALED.
How Negro Taylor Won His 600
Yard Run From Contenders.

NEW YORK, February 10-A worlds
record was eaualed at the annual games
OF the Irish American Athletic Club, held
in Madison Square Garden Saturday night.
IT was in the 60O-yard hurdle handicap
when Forrest Smithson. the national
CHAMPION. covered the distance from
scratch in 8 10 seconds. Smthson, who
is O native OF the Pacific coast. is at pres
ent unattached. The record he equaled is
also held by 8. G. Northridge of the Irish
American club. Smithson equaled the
mark in all three heats. In the final one
of the timers caught the runner in eight
seconds.
J. b. Taylor. the negro runner of the
University of PENNSYLVANIA. won the Coo
yard special race. Harry Hilln,an failed
to appear. to the disappointment of the
crowd. and Taylor had little trouble in
defeating G. j. Bacon of the Irish-Alneri-
can Athletic Club. and Harry Haywood
OF the New York Athletic Club.
Bacon took the lead at the start. with
Haywood second and Taylor trailing. This
order was maintained most Of the way.
Bacon was running strongly and led
around the last turn by two yards. but
there was no denying the colored wonder
when he made his effort. and as Bacon
tired badly in the last few strides Taylor
won easily by yard. The time, min
ute IS seconds was only fair.

ALOYSiUS QUITS THE
CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE

Every lover Of amateur base ball in
Washington genuinely regrets the an
nouncement of the withdrawal of the
Aloysius club from the Capital City
League.
The North Capitol street boys have al
ways been prominent factors in the
league and had large ami loyal follow
ing. -.----
Last year Manager Luitich had as
strong an amateur ball team as had ever
been gotten together in Washington. The
memorable struggle for the pennant of
the Capital City League will long be re-
membered. The great battles between the
Aloysius boys and st. Stephens Institute
are fresh In the memory of all.
1t has been rumored since the close of
last season that some little dissension re-
garding base ball had arisen, but it WAS
thought it would soon blow over. The
rank and file of the Aloysius club. it is
asserted have been firm for the contin-
uance OF the base ball team, and II was
hoped their voice would prevail. Matters
rested themselves for the time being. and
at the annual election Of officers firm adj
vocates of base ball were elected. but in
the appointment of the committees the
brave little manager who had fought
nobly for the pennant for the club was
relieved Of the managership of the ball
team. 4 special meeting of the club was
held to discuss the base ball situation.

given by Secretary Woodgate Of the
OF the league. The resignation was ac
copied.
The REIMBURSEMENT Of the franchise Of
the Aloysius club leaves a vacancy which
District will no doubt be glad to fill. The
matter of selecting a successor will be
gone over carefully by the directors of
the league before a choice is made. Two
or three applications have already been
received for membership in the league,
but nothing definite was done yesterday.

HIGH PRAISE FOR
A WASHINGTON BOY

1t took the better part Of ten years to
establish the truth among a great many
svell-meaning base ball admirers that
third base is the most difficult position
to play on a BAH field. says Foster in
the New York Telegram. In spite OF
the fact that there are some among the
Old timers who adhere to the notion that
first base is the most responsible position.
and therefore the most eXacting. there re-
mains truth in evidence that any man
who can face the hot shot racing from
home plate to the left side Of the diamond
is about the best infielder who may be
called to establish reputation.
If there were enough left hand batters
to make the first basemen work hard all
the time TO pick up ground hits. there
would be chance to establish a career
as ground fielder. AS a matter OF fact
casionally. and probably always will be.
but there is nothing on his side OF the
field which makes him work so steadily as
the third baseman, SO far as grabbing the
ball from the ground is concerned.
The essential difference between the
third baseman and the first baseman is
that one is the fielder Of balls which come
to him on the ground with smash and a
drive and the other is a player who has
largely to do with picking wild throws

thrown ball. by the way. is not always
more easy to handle than a batted bali.
There has not been a man in either
league for the last three years. and per-
haps five years before then, who has
shown as much ability to pick up fast
hits as Devlin.
The nearest man to him in the Ameri-
can League Is Tannehill Of Chicago, but
Tannehill can't swing over to the left
as Deplin does The third baseman for
the Giants picks up more hits which a
shortstop could get. if Devln did not get
them. than any man who has played base
ball for half a decade. It is probable
there is no third basernan living who can
cover so much territory on. his left side
as Devfin.
