MISSING STARS
FROM COLLEGE TEAMS

Many of the base ball players on the
Cornell and Princeton teams, whose rec
ords were 50 nearly alike that it was al
most impossible to decide which deserved
the college championship last year. will be
missing when the season starts next
month. At present 1t looks as IL the Tigers
started the season with better prospects
than the Comedians. There were few
pitchers last year in a class with Deshon.
who has completed his college course at
Ithaca. Deshon will be missed by the
Cornell team more than any two other
players, for he was q remarkable college
player.
The chief loss sustained by the Prince
ton team is Capt. CoOney. fine catcher
and batter. Heyneiger and Drews. the
star twirlers. are still in college and will
play this year. Besides these two vet
Grams. five other members OF The 1907 team
have been working in the cage for more
than week. Princeton will start the
season with fine prospects for a cham
pionShip team.
Brown went through the 1907 season
without a defeat. and her record was al
most as good as that of Princeton and
Cornell. The mainstay of the Providence
team in the pitching department was
Tiff, now a member OF the New York
American League team. But Brown. which
has turned out many a professional play
er, still has a first-class battery in Capt.
NJ. Raymong, catcher and Nourse, pitch
er. Budlong at third base. and Dennie. in
center field. are the only other veterans.
but there is plenty OF promising material
among those ineligible last year.
Harvard. which defeated Yale in the de-
Gliding game OF the series at the Polo
Grounds last year. is depending upon grad
uate coaches now. and they have the men
for championship team. Eight out OF
the nine players on the 1907 team are
still eligible. and SOM, of them are liza BILE

There is an unusually fine lot of pitchers

"BIG TINS" RACER
NEEDS A DENTIST

NEW ORLEANS. February 24-"Big
Tim" Sullivan and his race-horse trainer.
! Archie thinner, are in search of a first
class dentist. Sir Toddington. the big
chestnut colt owned by the New York
senator. is minus two teeth, and Big Tim
and thinner are anxious to find some mo-
lar doctor who can fill the gaps in
Sir Toddington's row of worries.
While racing one day last week Sir
Toddington fell and knocked out two of
his upper teeth. These front teeth are
known as the 'tearers." With them and
the lips horse pickles up his food. When
mouthful of feed has been obtained it
is masticated by aid of the back teeth, or
grinders" as they are called.
The loss OF Sir Toddington's front teeth
is therefore serious drawback to his
physical welfare. He cannot pick up his
oats with the freedom of old. Conse-
quently he has not thrived as well as he
did when the door to his stomach was
filled with worries. He has lost flesh and
his naturally robust health has dwindled
been discontinued.
thinner wants e skillful dentist to SUP
ply Sir TOddington with two teeth this
week He believes that crown work
would be much more suitable than a plate,
because 1T holds the teeth in place much
better and obviates all chance of an acct
dent in the form of the plate slipping
down the horses throat while gulping
down a mouthful of oats.
I'D hate to have anything like that
happen" said ZiWmer. Just imagine
my sending some such message to Big
Him: Sir Toddington has lost his plate
Suspect that he is now chewing his oats in
his stomach -
This idea Of supplying a horse with
false teeth is not a nsw one. The horse
Hlpin that is now racing here has a set
Of false teeth. A cast Of his jaw was
made and grinders set into a plate
This operation took place few years ago
in Chicago. Since then the horse has had
no trouble to chew his feed and has never
been inconvenienced by having them slip
down his throat.
Chapuitepec is regarded as certain
winner OF both the Crescent City and the
City Park derbies. He is so much better
than tho other three-year-olds in the south
that horsernen declare he cannot lose both
events unless he meets with an accident
Just as soon as Chapultepec has raced
for the derbes he will be shipped east.
He Is engaged in the Carter handicap the
$4,000 event which opens the Aqueduct
track April Is. Unless Handicapped Vos-
burgh assigns him too much weight he
will make a bid for this rich plum.
There will be n general exodus OF own
ers. trainers and Jockeys to the north in
three weeks. The Benning track. which
opens March %, is the magnet of attrac-
ton.

Fred Tenney may give up base ball is
the report that comes here from Boston
following the suggestion of President
Harry Pulliam Of the National League
that Tenney sell his interest in the Bos-
ton club before he does any playing for
the Giants. Tenney is understood to take
Pulliams suggestion as command.
When the Boston club was sold a year
ago Tenney invested $4,000 in the stock
All the surplus last year was invested in
lettering the team and no dividend was
declared. Now Tenney feels that there is
a good chance for the club to make
money and he is asked to sell out.
Tenney is willing to sell at his figures
and his friends argue that there is no
base ball law that can force him to dis
pose of his holdings. II PuIliam sees
fit to try TO force Tenney to sell the
player can retire from the game to settle
the argument. Tenney's retirement
would be distinct loss to the New York
club. This miX-up is given as the reason
for Tenney's refusal to sign with the
Giants up to date and he is quoted as
saying that he will not sign until he
sees his way clear in regard to holding Or
selling his Boston club stock.
