Most of these are from the lower

have had the principles Of fair play
and consideration for beaten opponent
ground into them by the necessity for

Manager Cornell Scores Double Victory and Is Vim

Commissioners.

w here are We at2 was the question
which confronted the board Of arbitra-
ton last night when the case Of the
eligibility Of Howard Phipps, Of the Cor
nell Company team was unfolded before
some twenty interested parties.
There have been several notaries who
have worked overtime ia affixing seals
TO afidavits which supported this or
that side OF the controversy Of the world
at large against Manager Cornell
There were those who SWOTe that Pnlpps
was in two different places ar the same
time. and the player must have led a
willie -the-wisp life to have been az ths
places that he was reported to have
been seen. One was IOrcibly reminded
Of the words OF the popular song sons
body Lied" because all things heard
could never have beEI possible.
But the board heard Il all pro and con
and there was "a deal Of CON-, as the
ScOtchman said. and the evidence Was
finally Sifted by the board Player
Phipps was declared 10 have been al
right. and the foes were coufounded
There were charges and cOuntercharSes
to Ahich the board listened with Wiii
iuc@ear at times, but in enc end tht
Mysterious Mister PhIpDS was put Of

body was heard to remark, Little I've
