M'PARTLIN LOSES JOB AS
 MANAGER OF WATERBURY CLUB
Owner Pace Says Players Must Cut Out
 Booze Parties and Ger in Early

Waterbury, June 7-Following a se- ries' of more or less differences of opin- ion that have been brewing for some time between President Carl G. Pace and Manager Frank McPartlin of the Waterbury baseball club, the crisis was reached yesterday when the latter was released and deprived of further connection with the club. President Pace declared yesterday afternoon that he would run the club himself with an iron hand and that fines and other penalties would be inflicted upon those players who did not keep in the straight and narrow path. There is a belief that McPartlin will refuse to be fired, inasmuch as he claims he has an iron bound contract that makes him a member of the local club un- til the close of the 1911 season, and that prohibits the club from releas- ing him, trading or selling him before that time.
 'McPartlin is too good a fellow" said President Pace yesterday after noon. T like him personally first rate, but he hasn't got results, and I think the reason is that the players take ad- vantage of him.
 President Pace said his personal liking for McPartlin influenced him in making several propositions to the veteran pitcher. He says he first off, fered him a bonus if, he would turn in his contract, and when this offer was refused, he agreed to make him salary of $100 a month for the re- mainder of the season, leaving Mo Partlin free to play wherever he would, except Waterbury. This Nc Partlin is said to have refused, believ- ing that his contract so securely bound

ed by any single system. One of the greatest misfortunes in the educa- tion of a nation. John Stuart Mill said, would be the establishment of unifor- mity under the name Of unity. There is room in this great country for in- stitutions of every kind. and an in- creasing need that different colleges turn their attention tn different direc-- tions Moreover, the new system is beginning to disclose some defects. Classes are so large that there Is com paratively little individual training. and at the same time the compenss- tion of teachers is so l6w that the pro- fession no longer draws into it's ranks it's due proportion of talent. Whils such conditions prevail it is inevitabls that college and university work throughout the country should bs marked as it is by lack of seriousness.
 It is for these reasons that at An1- herst. for example, the movement has to return to the old purposes of educa- tion. History can be taught better than ever before. We have far an1- pler means for instruction in democ- racy and the principles of government while the need for unyielding moral standards in public opinion was never greater. IL is proposed, therefore, to make the moral character of the stu- dent the first purpose of the college: to teach concentration and application, making the college work real as work give individual training of the best character; and to create an environ- nent of vivid intellectual life. cur- rent where yielding shall be easy ana resistance hard.-E.

the local club as to leave no loophole for escape. President Pace seems to think otherwise, and will fight the claim, so he says he has released Me- Partlin from all connection with the Waterbury club.
 Following this announcement Presi- dent Pace stated that he would man. age the club himself and there was a meeting at 2:30 o'clock yesterday af- ternoon at club headquarters in the Connecticut, at which all the players were given to understand that they would be expected to behave them selves properly at all times if they wished to avoid fines
 One of the new rules is that if a player is caught in an intoxicated con- dition, or if the president receives conclusive evidence that he is intoxi- cated, he will be fined all the salary that is coming to him at that time and will be suspended indefinitely. There will also be a. fine of $10 upon any player who is discovered around the streets or elsewhere after 11:30 o'clock at night, and the player who misses train will be fined $10 for the quent transgression.
 T don't suppose" he said yesterday afternoon, 'that I am the only one that has noticed the lack of fighting spirit in the team. It seems as though every time the opposing team gets a two-run lead, our fellows just jog along through the game as though it was a mere matter of form. I think we have a good club when they play ball as they can, and if they don't want to play ball, I'll soon get some players that do. I am determined to have the Waterbury team fighting for the top."

Lynch uphoIds
 Chicago Protest
League President Orders Game With Pittsburg Played Again

New York. June 7-President Thom- as J. Lynch of the National league yesterday threw out the Chicago-Pitts- burg game of the morning of May 90. which Chicago had protested and or dered the game played over.
 This game,' said President Lynch, in his decision allowing Chicago's pro- test, twas won by the Pittsburg club by 1 to and protested by the Chi the field umpire called the wrong player out, and that second, as a re- suit of said decision a second runner was wrongly declared out by the um- pire in chief.
 Tn the eighth inning Shean of Chi cago, was on first base with one out. Archer hit fly ball to the infield. which was dropped by Wagner and the ball was thrown to second for a force-out- With both Shean and Arch CT holding first base, Field Umpire Doyle called Archer out, claiming that Wagner had Intentionally dropped the ball.
 After Doyle told Archer he was out and had orderSd him to leave the base Manager Clarke of Pittsburg, ap- realed to Chief Klem that Doyle's decision was wrong and that Shean should have been declared out instead of Archer. The appeal was allowed and Shean was declared out. Archer in the meantime, having left first base as directed. was touched with the ball and also declared out by Umpire Klem.
 . "A careful investigation shows that the field umpire erred in calling Arch CT out instead of Shean and that Um- pire-in-Chief Klem likewise erred in allowing the second put-out. The only decision Umpire Klem should have made under the rule on Manager Clarke's appeal was to reverse Doyles decision and call Shean out and send Archer back to first.
 "The evidence clearly shows that both umpires erred and that by req son thereof an injustice was done the Chicago club. The protest is allowed and the game as played is stricken from the records. and ordered to be replayed."

tail in a topographic map which the Survey has just published-the map of the Abingdon quadrangle" This map is on the scale of approximately 2 miles to the inch and shows an area of little over 1000 square miles, em-
 bracing portions of southwestern Vir- ginia, northeastern Tennessee, and | northwestern North Carolina, the three
 States cornering in the southern part of the quadrangle.
 The topographic maps of the Geolog- ical Survey portroy all the work of
 man as well as the physical charac- teristics of the country, and the Ab- ingdon map indicates region of great diversity. Part of the area is seen to be somewhat thickly dotted with vil- lages, settlements and individual farm houses other portions are shown as vase stretches of high mountain ran- ges with many lofty ridges peaks, and knobs, devoid of habitations. The larger portion of the quadrangle was surveyed by Topographer Duncan Hannegan, but other topographers who worked on the map are J. D. Forster, R. w. Berry, c. c. Gardner, R. A. Niger and H. w. Peabody. Hundreds of miles of area were tramped over by these surveyors and scores of camps were established, thousands of sights made and hundreds of miles of level lines run. Thirty-nine indestructible iron bench marks were established, showing the elevations above sea lev el to the nearest foot
 The line between Virginia and Ten nessee, as shown on the map, was the subject of much controversy for many years. : Recently, however, it was re- surveyed, and it can now be easily followed by the monuments which have been placed at prominent places and by the cutting of the timber along the line. The line between Virginia and North Carolina, according to MT. very difficult to follow; many of the inhabitants living close to the boun- dary are in doubt whether they should pay their taxes in one State or the other as there are no monuments, and marked trees are very scarce.
 HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN VIRGINIA.
 "A few miles to the northeast of the corner of the States" said MT. Hannegan ''is located the highest mountain in Virginia, Mount Rogers. with an elevation of 5,719 feet; just to it's west is White Top Mountain, D., 220 feet, the next highest. White Top is a popular resort for sufferers from hay fever, many of whom camp on its summit each summer, seeking relief. In the big mountains in the south ern half of the quadrangle we found large areas of fine virgin iim5er-pine, poplar oak, chestnut, and nemlock.

THE SMALL COLLEGE
 VS. THE UNIVERSITY

The tendency of modern institutions. then-if we disregard their distrac- tions-is to make breadwinners, to- fit men to earn money. State universi- ties are necessarily of this character, and the influence upon all institutions which compete with them is strong. Size itself almost irresistibly drives this away. The revolution, indeed, seems to have gone from one extreme to the other, and as the old system had little place for men who sought technical training, the new system has but scant place for those who desire learning for it's own sake. In fact, the old system outlasted the period of it's greatest usefulness. and when the change came offered but slight re- Sistance to new methods.
 It is becoming evident, however, that the change has gone too far, and that there were some features of former methods worth preserving. The coun- try is too large and the demands of society are too complicated to be serv-

Why Don't Reds
 Make More Runs?
Something the Matter With
 Cincinnati Scoring Machine

St Louis. June 7.-How can you ex- plain this? All last winter the experts were figuring out what a wonderful team Of stfcker5, base runners and run gettcrs Clarke Griffith had. Down the lire all hands agreed that In Hoblit- gel, Bescher, Grif had a wonderful gang of hitters and base runners.
 Eddie Grant also figured as a time ly hitter and Mclean and Clarke were touted as the best-nftting catchers in the league. If Griff only gets the pitchers, the Reds will walk off with the pennant.
 Something is wrong with Grifs scor- ing machine. He doesn't seem able to get the runs around when his men hit the ball hard, steal bases and the other fellows kick in with errors. The Reds will probably get going again when they reach home, but they didn't look so good here. Still, Fromme and smith pitched some sweet ball. Smith looks like wonder. About nine Am- erican league teams could use him. Cincinnati paid s4,000 for the big boys release. He was cheap at the price.

New Britain To
 Get MarSans And
 SIugger AImeida
Cubans Who Quit Dan O'Neil
 Are Now Returning
(New Britain Herald.)

Within short time-a very short time-it is probable that the New Britain team will be strengthened by the return of Marsans and Almeida, the two Cubans. Advices received by Cabrera today state that Almeida and Marsans left Cuba Sunday en route to New Britain. If good weather is met the boat should dock sometime today in New York and the two play CTS should be in New Britain by to- morrow night.
 It is not known what will be done with Almeida as Dunlop has been giv- ing perfect satisfaction at the dizzy corner. However, the Meriden boy has not been hitting the ball at any alarming rate lately and he may fall down on this account. As a fielder Dunlop is fully as fast as Almeida but his weakness with the willow may lose him the third base job.
 No news has been heard of "Marse'' since he mysteriously packed up and dug out. His return will be quite as quiet as his going away.
 The news that the Cubans have sailed from Cuba seems to set at rest the rumors that Almeida and Mar sans have been playing independent ball in Brooklyn, N. Y. Almeida s tardiness in reporting gave rise to these rumors and every fan knew that Marsans had gone to join him terman received assurances a short time after Marsans left that he was not playing in Brooklyn but had gone to his native land.

Ask Waivers On
 Pitcher Cy Young
Veteran Cleveland Twirler Through in Major Leagues

Cleveland. June 7.-Denton T. (Cy) Young is about to end his career as a baseball pitcher. Waivers have been asked on Young by the Cleve- land club.
 Young has not pitched a game this season. He had difficulty getting into condition. and when he finally did round into fairly good condition, he was taken i'll with pneumonia. He has only just recovered.
 Young will never go to the minors. He talked about retiring last winter, but was prevailed upon by the Cleve- land club to sign a contract which calls for a big salary.
 Young has been in harness for twenty-one years. Last week he cele- brated his forty-ifth birthday. He joined the Cleveland team on August 8, 1890 After more than ten years with the Maps, he was traded to St. Louis, who after a few years traded him to Boston. Three years ago he came back to Cleveland.
