"KID" WILDER WILL PITCH
FOR w. & |. NEXT SEASON

kid" Wilder, Georgias wonderful
southpaw of this season. will go to
Washington and Lee university next
fall and will pitch next spring for the
w & l.. club.
Wilder was declared ineligible this
spring by the S. I. A. A. for playing
professional ball. At the time it was
claimed that there was only one offense
charged against him and that he would
be reinstated and used again by Georgia
next spring.
1t now develops that Wilder, who has
been forced TO work his way through
school and college, has been receiving
money for playing ball off and on for
several years and for this reason sees
no chance of getting back in the good
graces of the S. l. A. A. At Washing
ton and Lee there are no eligibility re-
quirements and Wilder can play in spite
Of his professionalism.

Now, the caribou trots. instead Of

THOUGHT 1T WAS IMITATION
Barney Weller Was Fond of Jokes,
But Rooster Under His Bed
Was Too Much.

Barney Weller was about the fun
niest fellow you ever saw. He was
always making people laugh by play
ing jokes on somebody, and he put up
a game on victim every day In the
week He was in Chicago at big
hotel on one occasion when the butt
of one of his jokes sought revenge
by securing live rooster and tying
it under Barney's bed at night.
At three o'clock in the morning the.
rooster turned up for his first vocal
selection and let out a long, shrill
crow. The second performance OF
this kind was too much for the humor
list. He dressed himself hastily and
rushed down to the night clerk.
"Giye me my bill" he said fierce
ly. I'm going to get out of this
place!"
"But please tell me what the
trouble is" suggested the night
clerk
THAT don't matter" said Weller
angrily. I'm going to get out OF
here and get out quickl"
"At least" begged the clerk, "let
us know what is the matter with the
hotel before you go"
Well" exploded Weller, there's a
crazy fool next door to me who thinks
this place is henhouse. He's spent
the last two hours trying to initiate a
