NEW BASEBALL QUERY.

Bill Clyrner, ex-manager Of the Col
umbus club. sprang a baseball question
yesterday that had the gang about a
New York hotel Woody for an hour or
more. Maybe you fans would like to
figure on it. Here it is:
There are three men on bases and
none out The batter hits the ball. 1t
is not safe hit and there is no error
made. Still three runs score and there
are two assists and put out on the
play. Can you figure it OUT?
After everybody has given it up,
Clymer explained that the batter hit
drive up against the fence which
scored the three men. But in turning
first he failed to touch the bag. The
right fielder threw to the second base
man, who, in turn, relayed the ball to
first, and the umpire called the batter
out. AS he did not reach the first base,
his drive could not go as a hit. but as
there were none out the three runs
counted. The right fielder and second
basernan gets assists and the first base
man gets a putout.
We will have to take off our hats to
Bill Clymer. There is no trick about
it. 1t is a straight legitimate play.

ISBELL GETS AN
XMAS PRESENT

Chicago, Dec. 27.--Never a Christmas
without a present from old Roman
comiskey. The Whitesox owner put on
his newest white fedora today, took his
penin hand and wrote a letter to Frank
lsbell, the veteran pitcher utfielder- in
fielder, who has done so much to estab :
fish the Whitesox as one of the great
est baseball clubs in the country. IT
was a. message of the deepest and sin
cerest esteem; present that the big
explumber of Wichita will cherish as
long as he lives. 'Commy" gave Frank
his release Internationally.
Ivy is full-fledged magnate now
by virtue of acquiring sole ownership
Of the Wichita club. He also Is being
doomed as the presidential choice for
the Central Kansas league. Kansans
have other honors in mind for the big
heavy hitting ballplayer; they are talk
ing about sending him to the house of
representatives at Washington Topeka
hasn't anything big enough, in the esti-
nation of the Kansans to offer Isbell.
Frank has been grand old friend
and a great ballplayer ever since the
days of the st. Paul holdings" said
President Comiskey today. I'm pleas
ed beyond measure that he has looked
after his future financial interests so
well that he has become a baseball
magnate in a community where the
people think so well of him. Frank
could get anything within reason from
me. 1t is one of the easiest things in
the world to grant the loyal fellow his
release so that he can devote himself
to Wichita. The fans will miss Frank:
his big bat may not whale out those
famous three -baggers for the Whitesox
any more, but it will be sending the
sphere out on the alfalfa prairies of the
sunfiower state so far that ordinary
outffelders will not be able to retrieve
it in day. More power to Isbell and
may luck attend him as magnate."
1t is quite likely that Colonel James
A. Hart. the former president of the
Chicago Nationals, for whose team Is
bell once twirled, would join "Commy''
in an appreciation of Isbell's faithful
services. Isbell saw his pitching arm
getting CLASSY a number of years ago
and asked Colonel Hart to give him
outfield work-plenty of work. He de-
sired to work in the game every day.
This was impossible with the Chicago
lineup, and Frank was permitted to
drift into the ST. Paul berth with Co
.rniskey.

that covering professionalism 1t was
decided that amy student shall be dis
qualified in all branches of athletics
for period of twelve months if he
completes for cash or for a salary in
contests not connected with college
during the college year while pursuing
college class work
The flaw in this latter clause comes
in combining competition for cash or
salary in contests not connected with
college during the college year while
pursuing college class work"
The wording of the clause is rather
ambiguous 1t would be implied that
man having taken cash or salary for
winning an athletic contest would again
be made eligible after one year.
Taking remuneration in the shape
of cash or salary for athletic achieve
ments makes man a professional in
the true sense of the word, and pro-
fessionals should absolutely be barred
from college athletics. The simple fact
that a man is barred for a brief period
of twelve months is not enough pun
ishment to discourage college athletes
from competing in contests where cash
prizes are offered, whether during the
college year or not
No code of rules, whether they are
made to govern athletics or any other
competition is perfect, and IL is to be
expected that flaws are to be found and
it is believed that the tri-state colleges
win see the mistakes small as they are
in their regulations

POOR old FITz
WAS KNOCKED OUT

Sydney, N. S. w. Dec. 27.-Biu
Lang, the Australian heavyweight
champion. knocked out Bob Fitzsim-
mons in the twelfth round of their
fight at Rushcutters Bay stadium The
fight was evenly contested up to the
last round, when Lang forced Fitz-
simmons to the ropes, knocking him
down with right hand blow to the
paw and when he arose sent him to
the floor senseless with a right hand
uppercut.
tftzsimmOns had not appeared in
the ring in Australia since he left here
for the United States many years ago
and when he climbed through the
ropes today he was given an enthus-
iastic reception. The veteran looked
TO be in splendid condition after the
long preparation for today's fight
The fight opened rather tamely
Lang showed his extreme nervousness.
He was freely hooted for holding in
the clinches and frequently butting
his opponent and refusing to break
clean. Fitzsimmons, on the contrary,
fought cleanly and quickly became the
fayorite with the crowd.
As the fight progressed, Lang re-
gained confidence and forced the pace,
but F'itzsimmons cleverly evaded his
rushes and frequently landed clean

Where he learned the wrestling game
some of his friends are In doubt about.
1t is claimed that he was formerly ona
of Frank Gotch's training partners, but
most OF his graphing was on the mat
with Jim Asbell, who is now travelling
with the Jeffries- Gotch theatrical COM
bination. Asbell Is Kansas city pro-
duet and is regarded by some as one OF
the best in that mock OF woods. How
ever, friends of the big fellow point out
that he could not be professional SO
far as outward signs go, as the posses
sion of bunch OF medals would show
that he stuck TO the amateur end OF the
game. There has been no evidence that
he ever took part on professional
match except in so far as he helped
some Of the pros" to get in condition.
That the faculty viii investigate his
standing goes without saying, but his
friends who are in his confidence, as
sert that he win have no trouble in
clearing himself

blows on the fact and body. In a
rally in the eleventh round Fitz cut
Langs right eye severely with a left
hand punch.
When the twelfth and last round
opened Lang rushed F'itz through the
ropes and Hoored him with a right
hand swing.
Fitz took the count of nine, and rose
groggy. Lang was at him fiercely as
soon as he regained his feet battering
the lettering veteran about the ring.
He forced Fitz against the ropes, and
with hard right uppercut on tle
jaw sent him down and out.
Lang was a strong favorite in the
betting at odds Of to 2. His weight
was announced at 1SS pounds while
Fitz gave his at 1856 pounds. Arthur

him. Coach Yost, 1t is said was equal
ly in the dark, although he knew he
had a cracking good lineman, and the
talk of electing Smith to succeed Miller
as captain of the eleven has been rife

However, from Kansas City comes
the report that Smith may not be eiig-
ible for the captaincy and probably not
for the team. 1t seems that he played
two or three years on the Kansas City
medical school eleven, besides being
identified with one other eleven. He
played against the University OF Ar-
kansas eleven in 1905, while Longman.

MICHIGAN CENTER
UNDER SUSPICION

Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec. 27.-on top
of the disclosures made about JOY Mil
Ter, who was found to be ineligible after
he had been elected next years captain
Of the University OF Michigan's football
team, comes the report that Andrew
Smith, the big center of the Wolver-
ines, may not be found with the team
next year. 1t is said that while house
cleaning is in progress the brilliant
center rush will find ii expedient not
to play on the team.
The gossip about Smith comes from
Kansas City, where he was we'll known
three or four years ago. Smith has
been much OF mystery to the students
and professors at Ann Arbor ever since
he joined school. It seems that when
he entered the university he registered
from Ann Arbor but no one there
knew him before ne hove in sight at
the opening of the school
Smith is a student in the medical de-
partment and one OF the best in school.
This fact has much to do with Smith
going unchallenged, as the teachers in
his classes could not make themselves
believe that there was anything wrong
with an athlete who carried, as he did,
some of the hardest studies I'M school
