OF
HE touch of spring weather we
enjoyed caused hundreds of
devotees of all branches
of outdoor athletic sports to turn out
yesterday. A few. amateur mines got
down to work in earnest and settled
games which were the subject of the
disputes and discussions of the long
winter months, while many of the semi
pro mines took advantage of the
springy weather to AXE their initial
practise. At the Velodrome many OF
the. vets were on the track, while a
score of amateurs were with them in
their first outdoor workout of the sea-
son. There will be many aching mus
cles for the overambitious athletes who
worked too hard, and it was a blue
Monday for them despite the fact that
the sun shone down in "mid-season"
form this morning. "Old Sol" is coming
around nicely now, and the delightful
weather today caused many a loyal
Tiger fan who gazed at the calendar
long enough to note that 1t Is the first
day of spring, and that the opening
of the Eastern League season is just
one month away to wonder If history
would repeat itself on the twenty
first of next month and the weather
world be as perfect for that occasion.

Larry Sutton, who signed up Harry
Welsher, the local catcher, for the Con-
n~ellsville team, of the now defunct
Pennsylvania and West Virginia
League, has had the McKeesport team,
of the Ohio and Pennsylvania League,
take up Harry's contract. The latter
club was glad to get the young catcher,
who has all the earmarks of a good
man. This is the team with which John
Miller played when Pittsburg farmed
him out during 1908.

The delicate question of revising the
rules governing the college football will
be finally considered this week, If plans
carry. The meeting will be held in
New York. Some time ago the rules
committee got together and embodied
a number-of reforms In a program that
will be considered this week.
Radical changes mustard most
likely WILDE made, but at the same
time, the legislators must be careful
not to kill the game. The thing those
guarding the welfare Of the game must
consider is, reduce the risks of the
game down to the proportion OF other
healthy games.
Mike Doyle, the old Orange Valley
player, writes to say that his Morris
town Baseball Club will be in thef field
this year ard is anxious to book all
the City league teams. Doyle says
he's going to have a great team.

The King case should be disposed of
