CHICAGO. April 11.--Staff photog-
raphers will have free access to tho
West Side Park diamond this coming
season. despite orders of President
Lynch. OF the National League, to the
contrary. Charles NJ. Murphy, presi-
dent OF the Chicago Nationals. re-
turned yesterday from his weeks stay
with the team ut Louisville and In
dianapoIis, and the first thing he did
was to issue an adtct to the effect
that he would ignore the order OF
Lynch.

stan photographers should be kept
from the field. said Murphy, s'as this
only ones TO benefit by their presence
are the club owners and the team

throughout the country.
The wire tappers sent the wrong
prices and jockeys to the Information
bureau and selected Redeem. the
longest shot In the race, as the win

Oakland race to be run a fake de-
scrtption of the event was forward

winner. Emtssaries of the piotters
were In all the Philadelphia rooms

Phase Of Virginia History.

Prof. Anderson TO Discuss Interesting
Phase of Virginia History.
The second of the series OF public
lectures delivered by members OF the
faculty of Richmond College will be
given tomorrow. Tuesday evening. at
Sis by Prof. D. R. Anderson, of the
chair of history.
This lecture should appeal to a
Richmond audience, as 1t Is to be
was prominent In Virginia AFFAIRS
during period in which far-reach-
ing historical events occurred. While
the people of the Old Dominion have
always evinced the deepest interest
in ali men who have Influenced the
development of the State, still the
subject of this lecture Is not to-day
SO well known as many other sons OF
Virginia.
Governor William b. Giles served
the State as governor from 1924 to
1880, and as the chief executive at
the time of the famous convention
of 1s29-1S30. had a large part in
shaping the destinies of the COM
monwealth, and for this reason should
be of interest to- US from a historical
point of view.
Prof. Anderson has for some time
devoted himself to a special study OF
Governor Giles and the convention
OF 1880. and expects to give In
this lecture a part of the research
work which he has done In this fieid.
The lecturer was for several years
instructor In history in the Univer-
sity of Chicago, and came to Rich-
mond College last September from
that institution. He 10 eminently
quaiified-to make this lecture both in
teresting and instructive.

BLILEY DECLARES
NELSON INNOCENT
Says Marshall Ward Politicians
Have Unjustly Connected Alder
man With Unpopular Measure.

Councilman John Bliley has issued
statement declaring that no blame
should be placed on the shoulders OF
Alderman Arthur Nelson. of Marshall
ward. for the drafting of the So
called higher hack hire ordinance,
which was introduced come time ago
by the Marshall ward representative.
The bin was introduced at his own
request. Mr.. Bliiey states. and he
further says that Mr.. Nelson mad
nothing further than that to do with
ii. and should not consequently be
credited with II.
Several OF Mr.. Nelson's political OPP
ponents are making campaign ammu-
milton OF the report that he advocated
the measure. and for this reason Mr..
Bliley issued his statement. saying
that he would never have mentioned
the matter TO Alderman Nelson If he
had thought for a minute that he
would be in any way injured by 1t.

FOOT BALL CHANGES
ARE VERY WELL LIKED
Princeton Squad is Now Expert
menting with Proposed New
Rules.

PRINCETON, n. j., April 1.-THE
Princeton football squad is expert
menting with the new rules three
times a week under the direction of
Coach William w. Roper and Captain
Eddie Hart. The Tigers seem to
be satisfied with a majority of the
changes already proposed. Football
stock has taken bound here since
three leading physirians Of New York
City pronounced Eddie Hart physi-
caily fit to-day and discredited the
stories of an alleged fractured verte-
bra. Bill Roper Is working out with
the men and he always inspires con-
1tdence In the players
Besides being head coach to the
football team. Bill Roper. as director
of athletics, has begun to cut some
figure in the athletic policy Of the
university. One of the changes which
he advised was more liberal sys-
tenn of awarding the university let
ter. Not only do the individual MEM
bers OF the hockey team, III II wins the
intercollegiate championship as did
Princeton's team last winter, get the
"P," but the individual winners OF a
championship wrestling team Will re-
ceive II, TOO. The track men have
likewise been encouraged, for the let
ter will be given to winners of first
place In the Cornell Yale meets as
well as "a second place against Cor
neil. The award of q letter for win
ming second place against Cornell LIS
likely TO be reconsidered and abolish
ed, for the original purpose was to
stimulate interest in track events, but
lately there has arisen discussion whe-
Their 1t is not sufficient to give the
letter for a first place.
Prtnccton'S track team Is coming
along slowly, but a great deal more
will be known about the seasons pros
poets after the Caledonian games are
over They will be held Tuesday and
will be in the nature or q tryout for
the Penn relays, which come on April
80. followed by the dual meet with
Yale at New Haven on May Z. the
Cornell Princeton meet here on May
II, and the Columbia meet a week
later.
Coach Charles Wilson has worked
interests and the way TO success In
he near at hand, for with Trainer
keene Fitzpatrick, OF Michigan. COM
ing next fall there VIII be big nu-
cieus to start on. No line has yet
been got on the Tiger athletes. but

Will have a little OF everything this
season and should present a we'll
balanced team for the dual meets,
though a not necessarily strong team
for the intercollegiate.
