1t strikes me that the Princeton loot
ball players did well in electing "Hobey'
Baker captain of the eleven for next year.
He is a quiet sort of fellow, but full OF
that determination which means so much
in writing the word success after any I'M
dertaking. / am told by man VINO
ought to know that Baker knew little
more about drop kicking when the last
football season opened than the Verlest
tyro. He used to 90 out to the field thirty
or forty minutes before the regular time
for reporting, with an armful OF loot
balls and practice all by himself In drop
ping goals from the field. For some days
It was quite the ordinary thing for MIN
to miss eleven out of twelve, and the Few
who watched him were quick to declare
that he had better give II up as BAD
Job. Baker, however, was not easily
discouraged. Slowly, but none the less
surely, he improved, and the reward for
his perseverance and determination came
in the Yale game, when he dropped two
goals from the field, and was robbed only
of the honor of earning victory for the
Tigers by Pumpelly's remarkable per-
Torrance of kicking a goal from the a.
yard line in the last few minutes of play.
Baker should make a good leader for the
Princeton eleven.

Cornelius Fellowes. who guides the
destlnles Of the St Nicholas Rink, which
has a monopoly on indoor skating In this
district, may have been justified for bar
ring the Columbia squad from the ice
and refusing to schedule any games
which the seven had arranged. He could
hardly be expected to delay apportioning
dates at Columbia's pleasure, and yet In
a measure his action strikes me as bit
arbitrary and of kind to antagonize
some followers of the sport TO whom he
looks for support. On the other hand
am not in sympathy with Columbia's
position, so far as the intercollegiate
League is concerned. II that organiza-
ton considers it advisable to bar fresh
men, which is now done by the leading
colleges in most sports, as partial bull
wark against proselyting, the worst per-
haps, Of all athletic evils, Columbia
should have decided without dilly daily
ing as TO whether it would accept the
ruling or withdraw. This no doubt Is the
root of all the trouble.

Besides the reelection Of Thomas j..
Lynch the National League did another
thing for which 1t may be applauded. 1t
recognized the ability Of John A. Heyd-
Ter. the efficient and hardworking secre-
tary. Not only was his salary raised,
but his term Of Office was increased to
three years. 1t was deserved. Apart
from the careful and conscientious way
In which he always performs his duties
and apart from his handling OF the worlo D
series in this city last fall. when for the
first time the thankless and difficult task
was accomplished without adverse criti-
.cism. John Heydler introduced new sys-
TEN for rating the pitchers In the Ma
,tional League this year which In ltsei
speaks volumes. The old method OF rank
ing by games won and lost meant little
mr. nothing. as It failed to show the real
skin of a pitcher who happened to be
with a club which did not give him proper
suprort. Under the new method runs
sdznsesd against pitcher resulting from
safe hits, sacrifice hits, bases on balls
wild pitches, balks, or hit batsman
were computed. This eliminated runs
scored as the direct result OF fielding err
rors. stolen bases and passed balls. Fur
Their, no runs were charged against pitch
ers which were made after chances had
becn offered and not accepted to retire
the side. This plan establishes a new
chapter in baseball history which is high
ly appreciated by lovers Of the game.
No more striking example can be Of
fered OF the value in this new method
than that furnished by Nap Rucker,
whom John ]. McGraw has called the
best Ieft-handed pitcher in baseball.
Rucker, who has been struggling along
with the Superbas and suffering from
lack Of that support which has meant 80
much to some of the other stars, moved
I'D from twenty-eighth place in the won
and lost rating to third place when stand
ing on his own footing. Eppa Rixey
moved up from twenty-third place to
sixth; Mordecai Brown, OF the Cubs, from
thirtieth to tenth, and Marty O'Toole, of
the Pirates. from twenty-seventh 10
eleventh. Coming nearer home. JEFF Tes-
reau. of the Giants, jumped from third
place to first, and Matty from eighth to
second. Mr.. Heydler must be congratu-
lated for taking such q forward step.
IL would take two years or more to
convince the fans" in this city that the
loouacious Charles Webb Murphy was
not blind TO his own best interests and did
not play directly into the hands Of the
Yankees and the American League in de-
posing Frank Chance as manager of the
Chicago Cubs. II may be case of one
mans meat is another mans poison. but
Chance will be welcomed here with open
arms II he signs a contract, not only for
what he has been but for what he is In
spite of the fact that the Cubs are not
loved by the rampant followers Of the
Giants. Frank Chance always has been
admired by all fair sportsmen In this
city. No one can question his ability as
manager or his skill rs player. and
while his days OF usefulness may be over
